H. Larson, registrar. The total en-· rollment, compared to last fall's 780, is nearly a 10 per cent increase over the 1963-64 fall semester. The freshman class with 291 students is the largest, followed by the juniors with 197, the seniors with 186, and the sophomores with 169. Twenty-three students are specials or p o s t graduates. Men outnumber women 541 to 325. Of the total enrollment 723 are day students and 143 are enrolled in night classes. Thirtytwo Nebraska counties, 23 states besides Nebraska, plus Korea and the British crown colony, Hong Kong, are represented in the enrollment.

The Cast Is Working On Homecoming Play This year's Homecoming Play is a unique blend of entertainment and good literature. "The World of Carl Sandburg" has been performed by professionals and a few colleges and it has - been hailed as "a most impressive stage presentation." The Sandburg selections run the gamut of emotions and thoughts from A to Z. The serious and comical sections are punctuated by folk songs such as "Careless Love" and "John Henry." "The World of Carl Sandburg," shorter than the average play, will be presented at 7:00 o'clock - Saturday evening, October 17, and will be over before the Homecoming Dance begins.

An estimated 300 students attended the annual watermelon feed held Monday evening in the pit of the college gymnasinm. The Student Government Association sponsored the feed and furnished nearly a 1,000 pounds of watermelons. Harvey Fisher, president of SGA, voiced great delight in the success of the event. Rumors suggesting the cancellation of the annual event spread throughout the campus early Monday but were soon proven false with the carting of 30 ripe melons from Nebraska City. Dave Gomon transported all 30 melons in his, car. Lines formed quickly with the cutting of the first melons, which were sliced in proportion to in· dividual appetites. Freshmen cleaned up the debris after the feed.

Freshman Clash Day Features High Style Freshman clash day was held on Sept. 28, 1964, from 6:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. The girls' uniform for the day consisted of twenty braids in the hair, no make-up, one nylon and Olk' bobby sock with one hi g h heeled shoe and one flat shoe, and clashing skirt and blouse with beanies. Freshmen boys had a uniform consisting of two different types of shoes, two different colored ,.lockings. wrong side out shirt buttoned down the back, pockets of pants hanging out. one necki ie in front and one in back. and Ocanics. The freshrnen wore their uniforms to ~di their classes and to a!l their meals. Some freshmen said they enjoyed the spirit of it all and several girls said they had tired feet.

Variety Show October 6 J. D. Levitt's annual Variety Show will be October 6 at 7:00 p.m., and the show appears to be packed with a host of entertaining features. The "talent or nerve" come-on has induced several campus performers. In addition to the traditional chorus line of freshman beauties, there will be folk singing, stand-up comedy, guitar and piano solos and assorted other musicians and dancers. New to the show will be a brass band in the pit and colorful streamers and decorations expressing the "convention" theme. The show can best be described by a casual remark made by a student who had seen several of Levitt's shows before: "You never know what to expect; some years the faculty perform a n d that is 'different'; other years the stage crew perform and that too is 'different'; and occasionally the performers perform and that's really funny.•· So, for fun and surprises galore, attend the biggest show of the year, this Tuesday night.

Post Game Dance Peru State's own "dimensions" highlighted· the dance Saturday evening, Sept. 26. The dance, sponsored by Newman Club, followed Peru-N.W. Missouri game. Music was by a combo composed of Sharon Johnson, piano; Charles Wellensiek, drums; Ralph Shaffer and Dale Duensing. trumpets; Bill Carlson and Gary Schmucker, saxophones; Jim Johnson, trombone; an cl James Horgan, guitar.

There was standing room only at the Peru City Hall as the townspeople voted 219-24 in favor of continuing the contract for the campus school. At the Sept. 24th meeting, the citizens of Peru faced the decision of continuing the present contract or building a new school. Mr. Ward Adams, president of the Peru school board, presided at the meeting. Dr. Neal S. Gomon, president of Peru State, read a statement of the State Normal Board's position on the issue. There was little discussion, due to the fact that two meetings had been held earlier in the month to discuss the possibility of the city of Peru starting its own school.

Freshman Looks At Registration BY MARCH TINKHAM September 15, 1964 was a memorable day for the Peru State freshman. On that day he registered. Advised by upperclassmen to get in line early, he got up at an unearthly hour and went to the gym. There he found a thick, long line of his classmates already impatiently waiting for the doors to open. When the doors did openmuch later-the freshman was handed some papers and forms and aimed toward his counselor. Two tables down from where he had been aimed, he found his counselor and handed him his completed schedule for approval. "This looks pretty good," h is counselor said, "except for one or two little things. I don't think you intended to have these two classes the same period, and I be(Continued on page five)

NEW CURRICULUM FOR PERUVIANS The disappearance of two familiar words has baffled many Peru students. No longer does a person have a "major" and a "minor." Instead, he has a "field of specialization" and a "related field." This substitution of words is the result of an important change in the curriculum. ' According to Dr. Keith Melvin, dean of the college, "All professional groups concerned with the preparation of teachers, including niany lay citizen groups, have advocated that a teacher should be prepared in one field of specialization, instead of attempting to be a 'jack of all trades'." The curriculum at Peru State College is in line with this philosophy in that (1) 1/4 to 1/3 of the t.otal program of teacher prep~ra tion is spent in general education, (2) 1/3 to 1/2 of the ~1me is in the field of specialization, supported by a related field, (3) 1/6 to 1/3 of the time is in professional education. In the future, teachers will be endorsed by Peru State College in only one field or at a certain grade level. Dean Melvin states, "Students should choose their related field in terms of having some teaching responsibility in that field." The new curriculum is definitely an improvement. It allows more concentration in a specific field. Compare the requirements of a 1954 Peru catalogue with those of the 1964 college catalogue. A major in English required 32 hours (including English composition). Now, 36 hours (excluding English composition) is required. In 1954 only 24 hours constituted a major in mathematics. 'l'he 1964 catalogue requires 32 hours in that field. Other fields show comparable changes. Obviously, the 1964 Peru student is exposed to considerably more subject matter in his field than his 1954 counterpart. This should result in a teacher who is better qualified than previously. Although s~ne may mourn the passing of the familiar "major" and "minor,'' the new curriculum will produce Peru State graduates who are better prepared in their teaching fields than ever before. -Janice Wilkinson.

DELZELL HALL By Anthony Lopes -oWith things just about straightened away, Delzell Hall has 183 occupants. There are approximately 35 rooms with three men to a room. The first meeting of this year's dormitory counselors was held Monday, Sept. 21. The officers for the 1964-1965 school year are: Ray Cain, president; Al Sullivan, vice president; Jack O'Connor, treasurer. The other counselors include: Larry Trimble, Pat Thomas, Doug Cotner, Loren Penkava, and Ron McCoy. On Tuesday night, Sept. 22, a dormitory meeting was held with almost all the residents attending. At this meeting Mrs. Paradise told everyone what she expected and wanted the men to do this year while living in Delzell Hall. Mrs. Paradise also stated that she expected either to have the automatic washers in the basement fixed or to have new ones installed within the next f e w days.

Actually Delzell Hall was opened two weeks before the opening of school. This was done so that boys out for football would have a place to stay. No less than forty-nine Massachusetts boys are at Peru State this fall and over half that number live at Delzell Hall. Other distant states are well represented also. The states of New York, New Jersey, and Maryland all have boys living in Delzell Hall. Of course, Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri hold the representation edge because of their nearness to the campus. The word around the T.V. lounge is that the Phillies will whip the Yankees in four games straight, just as the Dodgers did a year ago in the World Series. At the present the favorite T.V. shows seem to be: "Combat," "The Fugitive," "Bewitched,'' "McHale's Navy," and "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea:" I have been told that the most common noise in Delzell Hall is the rolling of pop bottles in the T.V. lounge. Happy birthday to Jim Head, Sept. 22, from all the boys at Delzell Hall.

MORGAN HALL By Ginny Grossman //-0-

Morgan Hall welcomes freshmen and transfer students from eight states, including: Nebraska, New York, Iowa, Illinois, Idaho, California, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. Upperclassmen and freshmen met on friendly terms Sept. 22. at 10:30 for the annual "Sister Sue" party. Each big sister introduced herself and her little sister. Punch and cookies were served. Officers of Morgan Hall this year are: Linda Bartels, president; Linda Rogers, vice president; and Connie Rademacher, secretary. Birthday wishes go to Peggy O'Neill, Karen Quinn, Chris Christensen, JoAnn Sch u 1 t z, Marilyn 'Robertson, and Joanie Sprieck. Freshmen comments reflect attitudes toward these first few weeks of college life. When asked "How's college?" answers were: "It's O.K.," "I like the friendliness of the campus," and "There's too much work." Our new cheerleaders are: Pat Knippelmier, Kathy Francis, Karen Quinn, Ka·ren Renken, Ceci Evangelist; and Marilyn Masters. Mary Sautter and Karon Rathe are alternates. Card parties are growing in popularity. An unusual card party occurred in Room B21 this past week. The loser crept to her room. Name unknown?!? As a closing word, "Remember upperclassmen, be kind to the freshmen girls. They may have older brothers!"

-oMajors Hall is providing living quarters for ninety young men attending Peru State College. There are forty-five rooms in the building with two occupants in each room. These young men began moving into the dormitory Sunday, Sept. 13. The freshmen, as is the case every year, are being made useful by the many upperclassmen in the dorm. The newcomers shine shoes, clean rooms, etc. for the college veterans. Wednesday evening, Sept. 16, an all-freshmen meeting was held in the solarium of Majors Hall. The purpose of this meeting was to acquaint the freshmeq with the rules and regulations for the dormitory. Counselors for this year are as follows: basement, Jack Rinne; first floor, Don Schmidt; second floor, Ed Meyer. Our housemother this year is Mrs. Donovan, who is beginning her fifth year at that post. A new addition is being built on the west end of the present structure. This will be a great help to the college in that it should relieve the crowded housing situation.

Inspired Bobcat Eleven Overcome In Second Half By Northwest Missouri A big tough line and fast running backs from Northwest Missouri moved to a 19-0 victory·· over Peru State Saturday night, Sept. 26. Both teams played tough defensive ball during the first two periods with neither team making a serious scoring threat. Early in the second half Ken Peterson of Northwest Miss-ouri's Bearcats gathered in a Peru State punt and ran the ball from his own 28 to the Bobcats' 2.0, setting the ball in scoring position. Four quick plays enabled the Bearcats to score as Ken Thompson powered his way from his fullback position through the Peru State line and in for the touchdown. The extra point attempt was wide to the right leaving the score 6-0 midway through the third period. The powerful Bearcat line g, forced a Petu State f um b 1 e which was recovered by Northwest Missouri on the Peru State 17-yard line. Ken Thompson again carried the pigskin and cli-

maxed four straight plunges with a second touchdown. Thompson also made the conversion, making the Bearcats 13 points as the third period ended. Quarterback Bill Witty of Sy.racuse, continued his varied attack of passing and handing off to his running backs but was unable to crumble the forward wall of Northwest Missouri. Jim Blankenship, halfback of the Bearcats made the final score of the evening as he broke through Peru State's line and scampered down the sideline for 65 yards and a touchdown. Ken Tho"'<pson's conversion attempt fell short of the crossbar.

Dr. Pitts stated, "The Bobcats face a tough schedule, which includes many larger colleges than in the previous years, but with 'hustle' and a fighting spirit the team should progress steadily." He hopes the student body will support the Bobcats this season as they did in 1953 and also that the team fulfills its obligations to the college and student body.

Bobcats Roll Past Tarkio The Peru State Bobcats opened their 1964 football season with a 12-0 victory over Tarkio. The game played at Tarkio on Sept. 12 was highlighted by the running of Calvin Miller and Roy Windhorst. Together they accounted for 154 yards rushing. Miller ran for 77 yards on 19 carries, while Windhorst was able to gain 77 yards on 12 carries. So devastating was the Peru ground game that they were able to amass a total of 19 first downs as compared to Tarkio's 7. The Bobcat touchdowns were scored by Chuck Colebrook who tallied in the third period, a n d Windhorst who added the final touchdown in the fourth period of play.

High School Harriers Here October Third High school athletes from a four st.jite area were invited to participate in a cross country meet at Peru State College on Saturday, October 3, according to Coach Jim Pilkington, meet director. The cross country thinclads ran in open · class competition over the 1.8 mile course with place awards given to the flrst 12. Invitations were sent to 15 high schools of the surrounding area.

SPORTS COLUMN By Richard Berthold -oThe Bobcats encounter a tough schedule this season against many larger colleges. With losses to Lincoln University of Jefferson City and N.W. Missouri State of Maryville, the Bobcats still face a solid team fro m Washburn. Over-all, a 50-50 rating would be a logical prediction for the 1964 Bobcat gridders. With enough hustle and desire, the Bobcats could have a winning season by a slight margin. The cross country team this fall looks very promising with the help from new participants. Coach Pilkington has four returning lettermen: Jack Rinne Bill Rinne, Louis Fritz, and Ji~ O'Donoghue. Vince Dahmus a letterman two years ago, has' returned and could help considerably. Dan Bolin, the Iowa Class B cross country winner, could produce, as could teammate Tim Hendricks of South Omaha high school. Jim was the Class A Nebraska state champ. Jim Watsen from Red Cloud, Nebraska and Rich Zaparanick from New York have reported good mile and half mile times. Roger Nevjahr and Tom Rosengren have also reported excellent times. Jack Cook, John Allen, and Tom Saunders are also good assets to an excellent team. Mr. Pilkington states the team is ahead of last year's already; so sports fans, be prepared for a fine cross country season. Week-end warriors should take another glance at the recreation program. The pool is open Saturday and Sunday from 2:00 p.m. till 4:00 p.m .The gym opens Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon and from 1:00 p.m. till 5:00 p.m. Sunday the gym will open from 2:00 p.m. till 5:00 p.m.

Chinatown's Charms BY MIKE CHU Near the northeast corner of New York City Hall is Chinatown. It is located in the downtown section of Manhattan, in the area between the }vianhattan and the Brooklyn brictl;es. Mott and Bayard Streets are the center of Chinatown. In Chinatown, there is a great variety of restaurants, tea houses, super markets, gift shops, theatres, museums, also some night clubs and recreation centers. Chinatown is a mixture of old and new customs. What color there is in the streets! Most restaurants specialize in Cantonese food. One can have shark-fin soup, swallow's nests, suckling-pigs, grilled duck skins, quail meat with walnuts,. stewed abalone, and cream of almond. These are some of the special dishes. Chop suey is not a real Chinese dish. Many people are mistaken about that. In some restaurants food and drink often go together. You can order Chinese yellow w i n e , which is served warm in a jar with a spout, like a teapot's; you drink out of little porcelain wine cups. How smoothly the wine goes down your throat! Warm and mellow is your feeling; and

now t!.... t the dinner is at last over, you are ready to settle down for a quiet chat And the talk is mostly of the dinner. In the middle of Chinatown, there is a large building which is the Chinese Community Center. A Chinese high school and an elementary school are established in this center. Their. classes start from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. because these youngsters have to go to the public school in t he daytime. The Chinese population in New York City is ·about sixtyfive thousand-nine thousand live in Chinatown and the rest live in the New York City metropolitan area. In Chinatown, the people celebrate all the Chinese festivals. The biggest festival of the year is the Chinese New Year. Fire crackers, dragon shows, and great parades are held in Chinatown. On this occasion, Chinatown is crowded with tourists: The Chinese New Year this year falls on February 13.

Hamlet Through Electronovision BY HARVEY FISHER As the lights began to dim, a respectful hush of anticipation gripped the audience. This anticipation was not futile. The ensuing performance, which w as viewed simultaneously in 1,000 theaters throughout the United States, was both a technical and dramatic success. Through the advanced process of electronovision, a technique of complex photography and sound apparatus, Richard Burton's stage interpretation of Hamlet was made possible. This reporter saw the performance in Lincoln, Sept. 23. For over three hours, Burton and a great supporting cast held an audience spellbound. There was no casual chatter and no one left his seat. The cast was dressed in sports clothes and very little staging was used. The play was allowed to speak for itself. And speak it did. In the contemporary attire, the age-old play took on a grand perspective. Burton was superb. His emotions engulfed the entire spirit of the play. He was a contemplative, grief-strickei;i young man weeping over hiS!' father's death, a raging mad-man screaming at his true love, an angry son seeking revenge and a nobleman as he died. Burton's acting, the brilliant cast and electronovision combined to bring about one of the greatest dramatic accomplishments ever viewed on the motion picture screen.

Peruvian Plans In Progress The 1965 Peruvian staff h as been named, and the members are preparing for the long year ahead. This year the Peruvian will feature a new concept in yearbook production here. The pages have been enlarged from the old 8"xll" to a 9"x12" page.

Will YOU VOTE?

HALL

BY HARVEY FISHER With election day only a few weeks away, it might be worthwhile to reflect on the voting record of the college student in the 1960 election. A recap of the 1960 election shows tha~ only 52% of people in their twenties voted, while 82% of Americans ove_r the age of sixty turned out at the polls. The over-all American voter turnout in the 1960 election was bnly 63.8%. To c6ntrast this, in Italy and Austria more than 943 of the electorate voted in the national elections last year. Canada, West Germany, Sweden and Denmark all exceeded 80%, and Britain and France had over a 70% turnout. Is this a very respectable showing for the leader of the Free World? This complacency in ·political interest is a grave problem. Especially at the college level is this problem serious. College students are tomorrow's leaders. College students must learn to accept responsibility. Just why does this college lethargy exist? There are two possible reasons. First, the college i:Ludent engrossed in his academic, extracurricular and social activities often loses interest in the political scene. Also, due to a lack of information, the student may fail to comyly with voting regulations. This is ·often true of out of state" students and the absentee regulation. It is the responsibility of every American voter to be informed, both of voting regulations and the campaign issues. Only too often the attitude at Peru has been that since our representation is so small, there is no real significance in what we do on a national level. This type of indifference is the breeding ground for radical political parties. If we are to be worthy of our rights as citizens, we must protect these rights. One of the basic means of protection of our rights is the power of the ballot. Let us hope that the turnout at •the polls in November will not be a repeat of the pitiful showing in 1960.

L.B. 301 IS IMPORTANT

TO NEBRASKA EDUCATION BY NORMA WOOD Between now and election day, teachers and prospective teachers will hear a great deal of debate over the pros and cons of L.B. 300. This piece of legislation has created more controversy than any recent legislative bill pertaining to education.

Anthony Lopes The big news .at Delzell Hall these past few days is that Gary .Viterese was elected freshman class president. He was elected to his post at a clas_s meeting held Wednesday, Sept. 30. At his first press conference, Gary promised to work hard for the freshman class. The boys in the TV 1o u n g e have made a formal apology for picking the Phillies to win th e National League pennant. When I asked the boys who would win the World Series between St. Louis and New York, a major argument broke out. Someone said the other day that the boys from Delzell Hall should own stocks in Coca-Cola company. We go through 20 to 30 cases a week. The TV' lounge was completely silent last Sunday night from 8:00 to 10:00 p.m. when the movie "The Miracle Worker" was presented. Everyone agreed that it was the finest movie presented on TV this year. A big battle raged last Thursday night in room 210. It was a battle of words between the backs and the linemen of the Peru State football team. They were trying to discuss who has the tougher job, the backs or the linemen. Representing the backs were Curt Holliman and Greg Dickinson. Representing the linemen were Bernie Brown and Bob Erwin. Did you ever hear Dixie being played over a hot water pipe? It happens every night at Delzell Hall.

Recent issues of the Nebraska Education News have carried. numerous articles designed to inform the educators of this state. Under the proposed L.B. 30Q, the state commissioner of education would be elected and the State Bol?.l;.d of Education would be appointed. The "301" committee urges that the present system of an elective State Board of Education and an' appointive commissioner of education be retained. Numerous educators from this state and other states are in agreement that the present system is superior. Miss Helen Heffernan, Chief of the Bureau of Elementary Education of the California Department of Education, stated "The presel\t plan allows the citizens to pick a board in which they have confidence, and allows the board to choose a commissioner qualified to supervise the education of children." Dr. Neal S. Gomon, President of Peru State College, commented, "An elective board and appointed commissioner keeps the school out of politics. Under this system the commissioner is free from political pressure." He also stated that a .number of the large parochial schools share this opinion. Dean Keith Melvin felt that education is not a political matter. He stated, that people promoting L.B. 300 don't realize that the eastern one-third of the state would elect the state commissioner of education. This particular issue affects both students and teachers. All persons of voting age should realize their rights and responsibilities and make use of their right to vote.

States represented with the number of boys from each are as follows: Nebraska, 69; Iowa, 11; Massachusetts, 3; Illinois, 2; Kansas, 2; Michigan, Missouri, and Ohio, one each. Thursday evening, October 8, a dorm meeting was held. The purpose of the meeting was to elect a new vice president. The individual elected last year is not with us this year. Roy Windhorst, Bill Rinne, and Sam Smith were nominated. Bill Rinne was elected. Other officers are: Mert Finke, president; John Barton, secretary-treasurer. Majors Hall had an oddity this year. The dorm was represented on the Homecoming Queen candidate list. Gayle E 11 is on , Holmesville, Nebraska, a sophomore, was among the many young ladies on the list-only this candidate was a young man. Sorry to report, Gayle did n o t win the election. David LaMontagne and Jack Cook were appointed to collect dues from the freshmen in Majors Hall. The charge of fifty cents was to be paid to these two boys. Dave was in charge of the ground floor; Jack was in charge of the basement and second floor.

Many people think that the li· brary is a confusing collection of books, maps, and,periodicals. After looking closer at the library, the student finds that the li· brary's 75!000 volumes are easily accessible through a consistent system o f arrangement. Th e method of classification is based on the Dewey Decimal System. The card catalog arranges the library's material in alphabetical order according to title, author and subject matter. On the shelves, printed material is arranged according to the Dewey Decimal Divisions. The 10 di visions are ''rrther divided so that it is poss'fble to assign a specific number to even the smallest subject. Two rooms in the library which can be of significant value to the student are the reserve room and the special collection room. ' The reserve room has a collection of records which include helps in English, foreign languages, and business education. These records can be played on a closed circuit phonograph kept in the room.. Along with the records are study guides which follow the material being covered. This service can assist the student who is looking for extra help in these subject areas. The special collectio~ room contains volumes of rare books Majors; and Norma Wood, Morgan. and unique collections.

Changes At Student Center The Student Center is gradually undergoing a slight renovation. The first change made resulted in the elimination of the publication offices. The journalism classes required a larger work area, so the old publication offices were removed to make more room in the Bob Inn. The doors on both sides of the Bob Inn were moved closer to the staircase. The restrooms were removed and relocated on the north side facing the stairway. There have been some modern trophy cases added to the area beneath the staircase. A major change in the kitchen and cafeteria will take place in the future.

Peru Cagers Hope For Good Season BY. CHARLIE RICHARDS On Oct. 15 the Peru State cagers held their first practice session. Coach Jack Mcintire welcomed the return of lettermen Mike Harmon, Ray Cain, Dick Estes, and Jack Rinne. Bill Witty, another letterman will report after the football season has ended. Newcomers to this year's squad are: John Chase, Gordon Gustafson, Jim Jennings, and Roger Capps. Ron Snodgrass, who lettered two years ago, is back to bolster the squad. His rebounding and scoring power should help the Bobcats greatly. Other members of the squad include: Bill Rinne, Mike Smagacz, John Alexander, Ron Kroll, Lyle Bohanon, Mike Guilliatt, and Mike McCormick. The Bobcats are hoping to improve on their 13-13 record of last year. In Nebraska College Conference play the Bobcats finished second with a record of 7-3. The first game for the cagers will be against the alumni on Nov. 30. Last year the alumni fell to the youthful Bobcats by a score of 94-80. The first regular season game will be at home against Tarkio College Dec. 2.

Broncos Stampede 'Cats In Homecoming Encounter The Hastings Broncos, ranked eleventh in the nation in small college polls, smothered the Peru Bobcats 50-0 during the homecoming festivities. This was the first time since 1960 that the Broncos have defeated Peru. In a 32 game series with Hastings, this was the worst beating the Bobcats have suffered. Senior halfback, Dick Peterson, ran for two first period touchdowns and later added a third. Peterson, a former high hurdles champ, sprinted for runs ·of 38, 2, and 39 yards to lead the Hastings ground attack. Bruce Roberts played an aggressive game on both offense and defense, and Ralph Decesare made two fine defensive maneuvers for Peru in the remaining minutes. The Bobcats picked up four first downs while Hastings totaled 23. Peru's ground and passing yardage averaged 22 yards and Hastings' total was a fantastic 485 yards. With the strong wind, Hastings had a punting average of minus three yards. The Bobcats averaged 19 yards per punt.

Run ittt" In the first days of the Civil War, all young men of Peru formed a company and with them went young Thomas. It was in 1863 that Sterling Majors came from Kentucky to· operate the store and live in the house in Tom's place. After the end of the War, Col. Tom and his younger brother, Wilson, returned to Peru. Wilson Majors and his · wife, 0 1 iv e , moved into the house. The house became a home as the two sons, Hal and Andrew Dorsey, and two daughters, .Bess and Barbara, were born and grew up. Hal Majors went to South Dakota. Andrew Dorsey Majors moved to Omaha and is now a member of the State Normal Board. (Majors Hall is named for him.) Bess married and her daughter, Beatrice, is Mrs. John Burns, wife of the governor of Hawaii. Barbara continued to live at home with her father and worked at Peru Normal as college librarian. When it became necessary for Barbara Majors Davenport to leave the house, it was sold to the State for further development of the campus. Barbara Davenport said that her sorrow at leaving the home of her lifetime w a s tempered by the pleasure that she received in the knowledge that her beloved home was to be a part of the college she loved.

By Dick Berthold With the gridiron season ended, the Peru Bobcats deserve credit for their continuous effort during the season against overwhelming odds. The 1964 schedule contained many larger teams. Injuries plagued the Bobcats, arid consequently, Dr. Pitts had to rely on inexperienced _underclassmen. Lack of team depth was apparent throughout the season. The Bobcats finished fourth in N.C.C. competition with one conference win. and three losses. The Bobcats opened their season with a 12-0 victory over Tarkio. Peru controlled the ball and gathered 19 first downs to Tarkio's seven. Chuck Colebrook tallied in the third quarter, and Windhorst added the final touchdown in the fourth period. Lincoln University defeated the Bobcats 40-10. Lincoln University overpowered the Bobcats in the second half, at halftime Peru trailed 14-7. Ho 11 i man scored in the first quarter, and Windhorst kicked a 30 yard field goal in the final period. Northwest Missouri combined their tough line and fast backs to defeat Peru 19-0. Both teams ·played tough defensive ball during the first half with neither team making a serious threat. The Bobcats swept the Chadron Eagles in a ragged dual, 26-13, for their first conference win. Windhorst and Dickinson con-

This is the third season in a row that Coach Mcintire ha s found disappointment at the center position shortly before the opening of the round ball season.

Peru State finished the 1964 football season by losing to a big and rough Washburn University team 42 to 0. The Bobcats were at a big disadvantage being outweighed by almost twenty pounds per man. Peru fought gamely, and although the score was 42 to 0, did have several long runs and fine defel!si ye plays. Leading the attack for Washburn was All American candidate Bob Hardy, who scored three touchdowns and threw a halfback pass for another. Washburn had a powerful running attack and used the pass only to keep the defense honest. Peru, using the "shot gun offense" for the first time this year, moved the ball well on the passing of Harry Leth. Vinnie Sabatinelli made several fine receptions to lead the Peru offense. Bob Urwin made the finest play of the night on defense for Peru when he intercepted a pass and returned it some 40 yards before being run out of bounds.

Shenandoah Marching Band Performs Here

BY LONN PRESSNALL · Lately, smoking has b e en blamed for a lot of man's problems. It has been connected with heart troublE!, yellow fingers, tired feet, cancer, bad breath, and a host of other evils. Mr. R. D. Moore, head of the Language Arts Division, has added another hazard to the list. It seems while peacefully puffing his pipe and reading a book "something gave 'way." The collapse wasn't the Roman Empire, but a front tooth. It was broken in two, exposing the nerve and painfully ending the chapter of the book. The tooth was allegedly in poor condition,· but showed poor judgment in its choice of departure. A more considerate tooth would have gone to a dentist. At any rate, a few hours and a swollen jaw later, Mr. Moore had to go to the dentist. He is n ow back to normal, excepting a missing hunk of enamel-coated calcium from his upper jaw. The moral (if there is one) to this tale of w~e is slightly vague, "one should either take good care of his champers or quit pipesmoking" or in other words "tobacco is the leading cause of statistics."

On Saturday, November 7, the Shenandoah, Iowa High School Band traveled to Peru to provide halftime entertainment at the Peru-Washburn football game. The band, under the direction of Dr. Robert Creighton, is a consistent Division I winner at the Iowa marching contests. It numbers 97, and there are two substitutes who travel with the band at all times. The group is .well known for its fine marching techniques which follow the A. R. Casavant style of marching. This is typified by a company lront entrance rather than the old block style. The Shenandoah guests were met by Chuck Wellensiek, president of the PSC band, and Mr. Gilbert E. Wilson, assistant pro• fessor of music, and director of bands at Peru. Other PSC bandsmen attending the guests were Ross Oestmann, vice president, Mary Ellen Oestmann and Ralph Shaffer, board members at large, and Gary Schmucker, drum major. The group enjoyed a baked ham dinner at the Student Center after which a rehearsal was. held by the Iowans in preparation for the evening's performance.

Peruvian Pictures Taken Pictures for the 1964-65 Peruvian were taken on October 26-28 by Mr. Bill Oliver from Delmar Studios of Omaha, Nebraska. Five hundred and sixty-one individual pictures were taken in the Student Center television room all day on Monday, Oct. 26 and Wednesday, Oct. 28, and on the morning of October 27. Thirty organization pictures were shot on Tuesday afternoon, Oct. 27. Some of the pictures were taken outside. Large group pictures were taken in the auditorium.

Wayne State's trustees gave their okay for a budget of $12,000 -an all time record high. Dana College has received official word that it is a member of the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education. Schools of Dana's size usually find it difficult to obtain NCATE approval.

In 1857, the township of Peru was entered at the Brownville Land Office. Peru was one of the first settlements in the n e w 1 y formed Territory of Nebraska. The town was formed around the Lone Tree Steamboat Landing on the west bank of the Missouri River, and in 1859, a row of warehouses was erected a 1 on g this dock Soon, Peru was established as a productive center of trade for both the settlers and the friendly Indians. With increased steamboat deliveries, Peru expanded up a main street that ran east and west. Two banks, a post office, several restaurants, a bakery, a tailor shop, and numerous general stores, were early additions to the town. These were the "golden days of steamboating," and the town was well on its way to being one of the largest towns in the territory. These were the happy carefree days when the townspeople could take a moonlight cruise and dance to the music of the Peru band. One could also visit the Peru Opera House to hear popular entertainers of the day on every Saturday night if he, could get reservations and had the money. Traveling groups liked to perform at Peru because the audiences were always large and enthusiastic. If one had nothing · to do, he could always go down to the docks and get the news of other ports told by the captains of the steamers. By 1865, most of the steamboats had vanished. Peru w a s then a favorite point for wagon trains to cross the river because it had a ferry boat system which made it easy on the men and the ox drawn wagons. This system saved the lives of many travelers that would otherwise have to ford the river. This business brought increased trade to the Peru community, and an ever increasing population to the area. Around 1867, the wagon trains crossed on bridges at Omaha or Brownville. Grass had grown thick at Lone Tree Landing, and main street was changed to run north and south towards the newly formed Peru Normal School. Also in 1867, Nebraska was admitted to the Union, and soon, land speculators were buying large tracts of the rich Missouri River bottom land, so that agriculture increased to be the area's largest single resource. In 1875, the railroad came to Peru, bringing students from all parts of the United States. In 1888, six regular passenger trains passed through Peru, as well as intermittent freight trains. At the beginning and end of the school year, the Peru terminal looked like a miniature Grand Central Station with people coming and going at all hours. In fact, during the 1913 summer session at the college, the enrollment was over 1,000. Most of the students came on the train, and stayed in private homes because there were no dormitories at that time. (Continued on page two) , ...,...,r

BECOMING MEANINGLESS Another American holiday has now passed into the pages of an almanac! People nowadays dq not think of Thanksgiving as commemorating the successful settling of the Pilgrims in America, or Independence Day as the anniversary of the adoptjon of the Declaration of Independence. But rather, these so-called holidays have been thrust into the pitiless throes of news reports and headlines. "The death rate on American highways over the 4th of July weekend is expected to increase four percent over last year's rate," the papers read: "Eighty-seven more deaths are expected over the Labor Day weekend," the radios blare. "Watch out on the highways over the Thanksgiving holidays," the televisions warn. Originally, each American holiday had a definite and important place in our heritage. They were celebrated for their true meanings, as a significant part of the American way of life. Now it seems that these holidays have become mere statistics. 'Tis a pity! By Melanie Gould

PERU DOESN'T HAVE IT SO BAD Peru doesn't have it so bad. At the recent Nebraska Student Governing Association Convention at Chadron, campus problems were discussed. Peru's problems seemed small. Several topics were discussed, and among them was the weekend migration problem. It was estimated that more than half of the University of Nebraska's students migrate to their homes on Friday. So, the problem doesn't lie in the lack of something to do for entertainment. As at Peru, the other colleges agree that students leave campus to visit parents, boy friends, and girl friends. It was suggested that students who leave the campus may lack interest. Hastings College has a rule that requires Freshmen to remain in town for seven weeks.

ELIZA MORGAN HALL By Ginny Grossman The girls at Morgan Hall are looking forward to Thanksgiving. Everyone is anxiously awiliting Thanksgiving vacation-many because they want a rest, others for time for working on a project; but, in most cases, for the g o o d "ole fashioned" turkey dinner. Shouts of glee and disgusted mumurs could be heard in the halls after mid-semester grades were received. Most of the girls agree that they will have to study harder the next nine weeks. A wrestling match was held in Rm. 323 among Linda Combs, Ch~ri Combs, and Wanda Anderson. Cheri was the winner. Wanda was the loser, but she claims there was cheating going on. Birthday congratulations go to Phyllis Rebuck, Kathy Hennig, Cheri Combs, Lois Monsees, and Marilyn Masters.

On the topic of housing regulations it was discovered Lavelle Hil:zemann that Peru had about the best regulations. Concerning off. campus housing, all the schools except Peru had several rules and regulations to govern this. At Chadron they are trying Majors Hall lost some of its to get dorm hours for the boys, and govern off-campus liv- occupants at the close of the nine ing the same as in a dorm.

The dorm hours for girls have gone out as student teachat Peru are the latest of any of the schools except in some ers. instances the University has later hours. Dan Leuenberger and Marv Campus dress was discussed. Dress in the library was the main topic of discussion. Peru and Wayne were the only schools which allowed casual dress in the library. Girls can't wear casual dress in the library at Chadron but can wear slacks to dinner on Friday night. Hastings has a very striG.t dress code, but this is often being broken so the Student Senate is trying to change it. They can't wear casual dress until after 7 o'clock on weekdays, and have to dress formally for dinner every night. It was decided that the colleges. need to have practice rules and develop a good dress code. Help may come from the faculty. Also it was decided that the library is a place to study, so the administration should relax the dress rules and make them practical and workable for students.

Things at Peru could be worse. In all discussion topics, Peru seemed to fare among the top as far as desired feelings were concerned. By Mary Sautter

Coach Mcintire r e c e n t 1y dropped the Bobcat basketball squad down to 20 well-rounded players. An overabundance of participants can harm a team during practice because of the ample time needed in coaching each progressive player. A post offense will be stressed with Bohannon, Harmon, Raine, Smagacz, and Snodgrass working for the starting line-up at center position. · Three transfer players are good possibilities for the Bobcats this season. John Chasse participated at Leicester Junior College 1a s t year where he was named the team's most valuable player. Roger Capps received N.C.C. honorable mention last year at Doane, where he earned two varsity letters. Bruce Vickery earned two varsity letters at Princeton, Illinois. Snodgrass is recovering from a hip injury received from an auto accident and is beginning to progress steadily. Dean Cain should be a real asset this year. Last year Dean hit 74 per cent of his free throws to lead the squad.

Wayne State has already received 350 inquiries concerning entrance to the school next fall. Next year will be the biggest increase ever for the college, an d the idea of placing three students to one dormitory room in order to accommodate all students is being considered. Mark Van Doren, poet, critic, and 1939 Pulitzer prize winner, visited Hastings College 1 a s t week and delivered several lectures. Trustees of the Wayne State Foundation have announced their intention to purchase and restore a one-foom country school building to be located on the campus. The building will eventually become a museum, representing a phase in Nebraska school history to which the college made an early contribution. The 1965-67 legislative budget submitted by the four state colleges calls for appropriations of $18,642,887, a 71 per cent increase over the 1963-65 biennium.

Cross Country Season History BY RICHARD BERTHOLD & GEORGE ZWICKEL JR. The second year of Peru's Cross Country team ended as a success. Louis Fritz was the finest harrier to participate at Peru State College. Individual spirit and training were the largest factors f o r the winning season. Coach Pilkington is well pleased with this year's results. The harriers opened the season with a second score of 29 against Doane. and Tarkio. Louis Fritz and Tim Hendricks placed second and third with times of 14:02 and 14:04 over the 2.8 mi 1 e course. Peru State took first place in a dual with Maryville, scoring 21 to Maryville's 40. Fritz, Hendricks, and Watson placed first, second, and third respectively. The Peru harriers provided the top five winners in the dual with Tarkio Oct. 7. Fritz, Hendricks, O'Donoghue, Watson, and Bolin all scored. The final score g a v e Peru a 15-49 win on the 2.8 mile course. Fritz paced the harriers to an overwhelming 21-35 thrashing over Omaha University in a dual on Omaha's three mile course. Fritz ran the distance in 16:21 as

The Peru-Maryville dual held at Peru Oct. 15 resulted in a landslide victory of 1'5-44 for the Peru harriers. The team again took the first five positions with Fritz, Hendricks, O'Donoghue, Watson, and Bolin. Fritz's winning time of 16:06 set a new school record for the three mile course. Fritz paced the Peru harriers to a 26-29 victory over Doane Oct. 24 at Doane. Peru took two of the first five places. Fritz's winning time was 21:51. The final results of the N.C.C.

Peru's Campus School Is Unique BY MARCH TINKHAM

instructors all have their masters degrees and are qualified to teach at the college level. The results of the school's experimentation and research functions were never more obvious than right now. The campus school is presently a pilot school in the use of Nebraska's new English curriculum. This curriculum is quite advanced over that in use elsewhere. Aspects of grammar and literature previously not introduced to the student until high school or even college are being taught at much earlier levels. The new B.S.C.C. biology program is also in operati014. at the campus school, as well as the new concepts of mathematics. The campus school building itself has been especially adapted for the fulfillment of the observation function. Its classrooms contain observation booths separated from the pupils by one way mirrors. College students taking courses, such as Human Growth and Development, use these booths to study pupil behavior. Normally, student teachers teach at the campus school nine weeks each semester, although sometimes there are student teachers there all year. About student teaching, a former campus school pupil said "In some ways it's good and in some ways it's bad. Those student teachers who commanded respect got it; those who didn't got it too-but not the same thing." Evan S. Van Zant, Director of the Campus School since 1961, supervises student teachers at the campus school. *"Lament of the Normal Child" by Phyllis McGinley.

Since its dedication in June, 1917, the T. J. Majors Training School has been an integral part of Peru State College. With the discontinuance of Kearney's training school t hi s year, Peru is the only Nebraska state college with a college-controlled laboratory school, although many exist elsewhere throughout the United States. These laboratory schools share six common functions: observation, demonstration, student teaching, participation, experimentation, and research. Though similar to the others in function, Peru's campus school is unique in that its students represent a true cross-section of the community. 0 the r laboratory schools are saddled with the problem of selectivity. Their students are either children of college instructors or problem children who can't get admitted to regular schools. Their policy seems to be "cherish the problem cases!"* This is not true at Peru. Nebraska District Three con-., tracts for all its school age children to attend the college's campus school. Thus student teachers face not only those pupils with "interesting fixations,"* but normal children as well. The campus school is supported for the most part by s t a t e funds, but the county pays tuition for all high school students. Until 1951, the district maintained Indian Hills School for elementary students. Now elementary students, too, attend T. J. Majors Training School. Enrollment in the school is now 284 pupils: 159 in the elementary grades and 125 in high school. In contracting with Peru State for the education of its children, Campus School District Three makes a sound Holds Open House bargain.

The above is but one of the many ways that the mint hopes to alleviate the coin shortage. Congress has been asked to keep dating coins 1964 for several years to discourage collectors from buying up coins each year. The pattern of shortage repeats itself throughout the country. Federal Reserve banks take what money they can get from the mint (less than they want), and allocate it to their banks (which get less than they want) who pass it out to businessmen (who get less than they need). In an effort to overcome t h e situation the First National Bank of Monroe, Wis., made 20,000 wooden nickels. National B an k and Trust Co., in Ann Arbor, Mich., ran a "green sale" offering $1 for 98c or a $2 bill for ·$1.95. Other banks have issued a "patriotic appeal." Numerous banks have offered to sort and count coins collected at toll booths to get them back into circulation. Scarcity of coins is a nuisance to merchants and consumers. The shortage was caused by a growing appetite for coins stimulated by the boom in use of vending machines, parking meters, and other coin-operated de vi c es . State and local sales taxes an d the growing hobby of coin collecting are also causes. People who had never thought of collecting coins bought a Kennedy half-dollar, met a coin dealer and got hooked on a new hobby. Currently the mints .in Denver and Philadelphia are on overtime. Treasury officials speculate that the shortage will continue until a new mint starts operating in Philadelphia-prob ab 1y in 1967. An appeal to families to turn in their coin hoards in time for use in heavy Christmas trade was issued by Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon. Mr. Dillon joined with American Bankers Association officials to launch a "Calling All Coins" campaign.

Peru Pedagogian Volume 60

PERU, NEBRASKA

The Junior Class of Peru Prep igh School presented the All chool Play, "Our Hearts Were oung and Gay," Tuesday, Dec. 1, the College Auditorium. The lay was directed by Mr. Robert ohlken and produced by special rrangement with the Dramatic ublishing Company of Chicago. The play was an adaptation of ne summer in the lives of two teresting people, Cornelia Otis kinner and Emily Kimbrough. During the summer of 1923, the two young girls set upon their voyage to Paris. Cornelia's worried parents start the play on a humorous note with their oldfashioned safeguards to protect their young, innocent daughter. Danna Henry, playing Cornelia Otis Skinner, and Nancy Adams as Emily Kimbrough meet many interesting people on the ship. First there is the ship's crew, then there are the two overfriendly neighbors, and finally two pre-med students from Harvard come on the scene. These people cause many humorous sit.uations which keep the play moving at a rapid pace. When the girls reach Paris, they again meet with some farfetched people and situations. Exploding heaters, carnivorous bed bugs, and. some erratic French people kept the audience laughing throughout the third act. The ship's experiences as well as the encounters in Paris added up to a good time for all concerned. The audience was particularly impressed with the ease and fluency which was displayed I by the student actors.

The Christmas spirit is beginning to take command at Majors Hall. With all the snow and decorations, the major thoughts of the men are of going home for the Christmas holiday. Our housemother, Mrs. Donovan, displayed the first Christmas decorations in the dormitory. She has sitting in the window, a small artificial Christmas tree, flanked on either side by a candle, and on one side, an angel. Hanging in the window is artificial holly. The halls are a bit darker than usual. Blue, red, green, yellow, and orange bulbs have been put into the fixtures to replace t h e normal bi,tlbs. A silver-colored art if i c i a 1 Christmas tree decked with ornaments has been set up in the solarium. Different colored lights are reflected upon the tree causing color changes of the tree. We say "thanks" to those who helped decorate the dorm, bringing about the holiday spirit. A Christmas party is being planned for the dorm residents. No definite date has been set, but it will be held before the boys from the East will have to leave for home. A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year wish goes out to all. We wish everyone a safe trip home, and, of course, a safe trip back again.

Kissing Under The Mistletoe BY ELAINE NEDDENRIEP

The dorm has now taken on a Christmas atmosphere. Everyone is anxiously awaiting the Christmas vacation, especially those from far away who are making plans for transportation home. Morgan Hall has set its annual Christmas tea for December 10. The spirit of giving has begun to haunt the dorm occupants and Peanut and Shuck exchanges have resulted. What is Peanut and Shuck? Those girls who participate, draw names. The name they draw is their peanut and each day they do something nice for that girl. All of this is kept secret, and the end result is a party to guess who was peanut and shuck. A shower is being planned by Laura West and Karen Renken for Judi Whigham. Birthday congratulations go to Arlene Borcher. Bonnie Anderson returned to school Monday after being a patient at Clarkson hospital in Omaha. Advice to Morgan Hall's Christmas shoppers: ."The time for any buyer to be most alert is when he is dead certain he has found a bargain."

Vacation Library Hours During Christmas vacation, the Library will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Dec. 21-23 and Dec. 2830. The Library will also be open until noon Dec. 31. All books that have been checked out before Dec. 6, are due by Dec. 18. Any book that is checked out after Dec. 7 is not due until Jan. 4.

In the language of flowers, mistletoe means "give me a kiss." This has its basis in a Scandinavian myth. "Balder (the Scandinavian counterpart fo:v Appollo) received a charm from his mother Frigga or Freyja (equivalent to Venus) against all injury from everything which sprang from the four elements-fire, water, air, and earth. Loki, an evil spirit, having an enmity against· Balder, formed an arrow from Mistletoe which did not grow from any of these elements. The arrow was placed in the hands of the blind Helder, whom Loki directed was t o launch at the seemingly invulnerable Balder. The Mistletoe dart struck Balder to the ground. The tears of Frigga became the white berries of the Mistletoe. Through the concerted efforts of the gods, Balder was restored to life and Frigga decreed that the plant must never again serve as an instrument of mischief. "Frigga, being the goddess of love and beauty, grateful for the return of her son, is said to be-

stow a kiss upon anyone who shall pass under the Mistletoe." 1 From this old tale we derive our custom of kissing under the Mistletoe. As it hangs upon the chandelier or in the doorway each lad may claim a kiss from the maid who chances beneath it with this provision: that the lad remove a berry to give to the maid until, at last, when no berries are left, the bough loses its spell and no more kisses are then available. 1-1001 Christmas Facts and Fancies, Alfred Carl Hottes.

SAC Band Entertains In Dec. 2 Convocation The Strategic Air Command Band is noted for its versatility and unique showmanship. It is acclaimed as one of the finest musical organizations in the United States Air Force. The fifty members of the SAC Band were all carefully selected for their ability and professional experience. The result of this careful staffing is displayed throughout t h e entire band, whether it is performing as a symphonic unit, a marching aggregation, or broken down into the 16 piece "Notables," ten piece "Ambassadors," the 20 voice "SAC Glee Club," a society combo, a progressive

jazz combo or any of the other numerous instrumental and vocal combinations at their command. "The Flying Band of SAC," as it is called, has traveled throughout the North American Continent and to various other points in the world. Also featured on the program was A3C John Kamp. He came to the SAC band as a folk singer from the Gulf Coast area. He has performed in clubs from coast to coast and has played the Hootenanny Show on ABC-TV. Shortly after entering the Air Force, he won the World-Wide USAF Talent Contest in the folk singing division.

Peru Hoopsters Avenge Grid Defeat The Peru Bobcats galloped to their third straight victory by defeating Northwest Missouri State, 87 to 72. Peru was in command from the opening tap to the final buzzer. Again it w a s a team effort that sparked the Bo beats to victory. The fast break and a hustling alert defense enabled Peru to gain the victory. Time and time again either John Alexander or Ray Cain would knock the ball loose or steal the ball to set up a Bobcat bucket. Peru started things off with a bang on hoops by Alexander and Mike Harmon. Harmon hit from everywhere on the floor in the first half. Maryville could do nothing to stop him; neither could they keep pace as Peru lead 46 to 32 at the half. In the second half Peru ran their lead to as high as 27 points. In the final minutes of the game Maryville did manage to close the spread. Peru, however, was never in danger of losing. Leading the offensive show for the Bobcats was Harmon, with 18 points. He was followed closely by Alexander with 17 points. Joe Pierce paced the losers with 16 IJ.oints.

Bobcats Take Owls The Peru Bobcats opened their 1964-65 basketball season with an impressive 94 to 84 win over Tarkio college. The Bobcats showed fine poise for their first game. It was a pressure packed game, and the final outcome was not certain until Mike Harmon hit a jump shot with 1:47 remaining in the game. Peru used an explosive fast break coupled with an aggressive defense to gain the victory. Great teamwork and a great team effort were the features of Peru's attack. The Bobcats had a balanced scoring attack with six of th e eight men who saw action hitting in double figures. Leading the offensive show for Peru was Ray Cain with 22 points. Dick Estes also did a fine job by pouring in 16 big points. Tarkio got an 18 point effort from Nelson Thompson while Larry Scheuerman had 17 points. Peru built up a lead of 6 to 10 points several times only to have Tarkio fight back to make a game of it. There were· several hectic moments before Peru put th e game on ice in the fourth period.

Mr. La r r y Ebner, business manager at Peru State College since 1961, was elected president of the Peru Kiwanis Club. Mr. Ebner succeeds Donald Stanley. Ne\rly elected officers for 1965 were Rev. Wilfred Carter, first vice president; Rex Rains, second vice president; Carroll Lewis, treasurer. Dr. Glenn Turner of the Lincoln Downtown Kiwanis and Lancaster county superintendent of schools, presided at the installation. Three charter members were present at the ceremony: Frank Heywood, Cassius Kennedy and H. U. Landolt. The Peru Kiwanis Chapter has been in existence since 1929. Next year the International Kiwanis will celebrate its 50th Anniversary. The Peru Chapter has made many worthwhile and notable contributions to the Peru area. They spearheaded the street sign project. The Peru Kiwanis sponsored the Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts and provided for corrective dental and optical care to deserving children. The group is active in its support of the Brownville Historical Society. It also sponsors two scholarships: the Bond Kennedy Scholarship and the A. B. Clayburn Scholarship. The latter is in conjunction with the Boy Scouts.

The Peru unit of the NEA met Jan. 12, in the auditorium of the Campus School. The business meeting was called to order by Dr. Siegner. After the usual routine business Dr. Siegner gave a report on the delegate assembly of the NSEA which he and Mr. Van Zant had attended in Lincoln on Dec. 11. District 2, of which Peru is a member, had 58 delegates. He brought the local association a concise report of the information given by the various NSEA committees. Ninety-sev~n per cent of the delegates voted to support the ETV commission. The adoption of tenure by school boards was approved by 94% of the delegates. The NSEA Helpmobile Project is t o be continued. Among those on the 1965 staff will be Mr. Leland Sherwood of the Peru faculty. Dr. Siegner said, "Fifty-two and three-tenths per cent of the youth in Nebraska did not complete high school. Only 6.8% graduated from college."

Want to Sing? The college choir, under the direction of Mr. Hugh Thomas, is open to anyone interested in vocal training. This year the college choir presented the "Christmas Oratorio" in December. The organization also plans to present a Broadway musical in the spring.

He received all of his education here. He was an industrial arts major and also played football for the college. After serving in World War I, Mr. Vance came back to Peru, where he started working for the college in the maintenance department. This was in 1920. He did a variety of jobs for the college maintenance department. One of the first jobs he did was to lay forms for the installation of the concrete bleachers at the Oak Bowl. At this time, coal was hauled by horses and wagons from the depot to the five man-fired boilers in the heating plant. Another job he did was to fire one of these boilers. In 1944, Mr. Vance was made Chief Engineer, and in 1950, he became superintendent of buildings and grounds. Since he started working, he says, "The campus has changed considerably. There have been a number of new buildings and many ground improvements."

On the first night of classes, students will meet with counselors in the Administration Building from 4:30 until 5:45. Classes will meet on a shortened schedule on opening night, following class enrollment, Dr. Melvin said.

Mr. Vance lives with his wife, Beulah, in Peru. He has one daughter, Betty, who is married to Mr. Calvin Frerichs of Groton, Massachusetts.

When asked about his future, Mr. Vance stated that he wanted to catch up on his fishing and hunting. Also, being a traveller at heart, he plans to do a lot of travelling within the next few years. Mr. Vance also talked about a trip back east next summer to visit his daughter and sonin-law. He plans to continue living in Peru.

Second period classes: Foundations of Education, Library Reading Guidance, Art Appreciation, Print Making, Health, Geography of Anglo-America, Labor and Industrial Relations, Introduction to Literature, Shakespeare.

Curriculum Enrichment? BY NORMA WOOD All teacher colleges supposedly prepare prospective elementary teachers for most of the expected and unexpected situations that arise. Despite all the courses available, a few of the most important are not offered at this or any other college. Some of the new courses that should be offered are: Educ. 451 Techniques in endurance sitting. Survey of methods of sitting in one position during pre-school workshops. Educ. 452 0 r g a n i z a t i o n and Management of Classrooms. Methods of cramming 36 desks in a room designed for 25. Educ. 453 Principles of Record K e e p i n g . Prerequisites: Elementary deciphering and s p e e d reading. Designed to supply th e teacher with new methods of interpreting the information on cumulative records. Educ. 454 Elementary 1u n c h room. Prerequisite: ear plugs and strong stomach. Of particular value ·to those who will be required to supervise lunchrooms. Educ. 455 What about parents? Techniques of meeting parents the first day, at the monthly PTA meeting a n d during parent-teacher confer-

ences. Educ. 456 Student-Teacher relat i o n s h i p s. How to smile from 8:00 to 4:00 each day. There are probably hundreds of other courses that could be included, but you'll never realize until you have finished the first year of teaching. Whoever said the teacher learns more the first year than the pupils, knew what he was talking about.

Vacation-time Campus BY DAN KNUDSEN During Christmas vacation, I had to return to Peru to complete some studies. The campus w a s almost empty. Many diff;rent and int\:resting sounds floated in 1 the air. • Several youngsters walked by on their way to the gym, dribbling a basketball. Their echoes resounded in the empty buildings. Students could be heard opening the door to the Library, trying to finish term papers before the vacation ends. Construction workers filled the air with sounds of building. Maintenance men could be heard washing and waxing floors before the students' return. Occasional professors could be heard working on lectures and grading the preChristmas exams. Office workers were typing forms and letters. Monday, Jan. 4, the campus took on renewed life. The students are back. Now sounds of hustling students fill the air. The Student Center buzzes with stories of vacation, but soon many of these sounds will fade, giving way to semester test studying.

Original Writing Wanted For Sifting Sands Ernest Longfellow Is AVery Versatile Man BY LARRY PIPER Ernest (Ernie) Longfellow was born March 16, 1902 on a farm near Peru. He was graduated from Peru High School. Mr. Longfellow attended two years of college at the Peru State Normal School. Ernie moved to Arkansas in 1924. V{hile there, he married Granville Norris. In 1936, they moved to Peru where they have lived until the present. He came to work for the college on Jan. 1, 1953. Mr. Longfellow is a carpenter, plasterer, and mason for the college. The new eye-catching Peru State College name plate located in front of the Campus School was constructed by him. Some of his other projects are the bulletin board by the library, the ticket houses near the football field, the basement rooms in Eliza Morgan Hall and Delzell Hall, and many of the sidewalks on campus. All of the college furniture refurnishing is handled by him. His hobbies include hunting, nature study, and building things. He has been writing the Sportsman News column for the Nemaha County Herald for the past five years. Mr. Lo11gfellow has three sons. Jack, a graduate of Elon College, Burlington, N. C., is an electronic engineer with Western Electric Co. Stan, holder of A.B. and M.A. degrees from Peru State, is a teacher. David graduated from Peru State with an A.B. degree. All three boys were members of the National Honor Society at Peru Prep. At the present time, Ernie and Bob Henry are preparing a 100 year history of Peru State College. They plan to have it ready in time for the 1967 centennial of Peru State College.

Each year the English organizations on campus produce a publication entitled Sifting Sands. This publication serves as an outlet for the creative writing ability of Peru students. Material for this publication is not solely the contribution of Sigma Tau Delta and English club members, but may come from any student. Material for Sifting Sands is not restrictive as to type. Short stories, poems, essays-any type of written work is acceptable. The only restriction is that the work must be original. Any student having material for Sifting Sands is asked to get in touch with either Oliver Bierman, Oak Hill, or March Tinkham, Morgan Hall.

SPORTS ROUNDUP. By Dick

Berthold Dana clipped the Peru Bobcats 97-73 Dec. 16, giving the Bobcats their third loss of the season. After a 45 tie at halftime, Dana widened the gap in the final seven minutes, starting with a 72-69 lead. Dana collected on 53.7 per cent of their field attempts, but Dana's 65.7 per cent on free throws was the winning asset. The Bobcats finished runner-up in the Beatrice Holiday Tournament Dec. 29-30. The Doane Tigers edged past Peru 85-78 for · first place in the deciding contest. Tarkio, leading throughout the consolation game, was over-powered by Central Methodist's full court press in the final three minutes and finished in the cellar. Peru fell victim to a balanced Kearney squad Jan. 9 to start the new year before an estimated crowd of 800 spectators. Kearney's triumph smothered the winning hopes of Peru's opening Nebraska College Conference engagement. The Bobcats collected 70 per cent on free throws while the Antelopes hit 77 per cent. Individual statistics were: Free Goals throws Total Estes --------- 8 3-5 19 Rinne -------- 7 0-0 14 Harmon ______ 6 3-4 15 Witty -------0-0 2 Snodgrass ____ 3 4-6 10 Chasse ------- 0 1-1 3-4 13 Cain ---------- 5 Alexander ____ 2 4 0-0 Personal and team mistakes have jeopardized the Bobcats in many close contests. Coach McIntire stated, "The Bobcats can go a long way this season if some of the passing and defensive errors can be ironed out." Gary Fisher, a tp.nior at Hastings College, set new NCC records in his passing performance against Wayne State. Fisher passed 65 times and completed 31 for 436 yards and four touchdowns. The Bronco squad named their mythical All-Opponent team

which included players from Kearney, Wayne, Peru, and Nebraska Wesleyan. At the end positions were Dwight Tietjen of Wesleyan and Larry McCord of Kearney. Gary Palmer of Wayne and Mick Pierce of Wesleyan were selected at the tackle positions. At guards were Bernie Brown of Peru and Bob Kruse of Wayne. Ed Kruml of Kearney was selected the best opposing center. Mike Slatinsky of Wesleyan was . voted the top ·quarterback. Bill Backes of Kearney and Van Steckelberg of Wayne were named at the halfback positions. Burt Matthies of Wayne completed the backfield choice at fullback.

Cagers Drop Conference Opener to Kearney The Peru Bobcats lost a heartbreaking conference opener to Kearney 81-78, Jan. 9. The Bobcats raced back in contention during the second half after trailing by 18 points. Jack Rinne collected 14 points, most of them scored during the second half, to spark the Bobcat rally. Kearney, paced by the accurate shooting of Larry Martin and Bob Whitehouse, had a 12 point lead in the first half. Peru, hampered b: 1 bad breaks, managed to cut the margin 42-35 at half. Bill Holiday and Martin widened the lead for Kearney during the opening minutes of the second half with good outside shooting. At this time, Coach McIntire installed substitutes Jack Rinne and John Chasse. With more desire and hustle, the Bobcats began cutting Kearney's lead. With six minutes left, Peru trailed 64-63. Ray Cain took control of the ball after Kearney lost possession on a traveling violation and sank a 30 foot jump shot to put the Bobcats ahead for the first time. The game was finally decided after Kearney collected on their last seven straight free throws. The game's high scorer was Larry Martin of Kearney with 21 points. Dick Estes collected 19 points for the Bobcats before fouling out.

Joe Oh, Peru's First Korean Student BY MARCH TINKHAM College is the .Place to meet people and get away from home. Students travel across counties, states, and nations, to collect in youth communities known as campuses. Some students even cross the globe before settling in the campus which shall be home for the ne:id four years. Most nation-hopping college students never penetrate into the interior of the new na_tion, but settle along its coasts; consequently, few have found their way to Peru. Among those few who have made t h e i r way through the hills and oaks to this spot along the Missouri is the first Korean in Peru's history, Chaisan Oh. Around Peru Chaison is more commonly known as Joe. Joe first heard of Peru through the United States Information Service in Seoul, which described Peru's location "in the heart of midwestern America" and its distinction as '~the oldest college in Nebraska." The fact that Peru was a small college influenced his decision to come here as he felt it would be easier to adjust to new circumstances in a small place. Joe's home is in Seoul where he has two older brothers and three sisters. Before corning to the U.S., Joe completed. four years college in Korea and spent three years in the Korean Air Force. He is now a second semester freshman majoring in biology. One of the things which struck Joe as strange when he first reached America was the difference in table customs. The only utensils to which he was accustomed. were chopsticks and the spbon. W hi 1e we westerners might think he would have found our knife and fork easier to handle, this was not so. Our foods,

Campus To Campus BY BETH TERWILLEGER At several different colleges, proposals for a Work-Study Plan have been submitted to the federal government for approval. The work-study program is designed to give part-time jobs to students who might otherwise be unable to attend college because of financial difficulties or those who might be forced to drop out for the same reason. The proposal is sponsored under the antipoverty law. Recent reports show that the honor chapel attendance at Hastings College is not working satisfactorily. Absences range fr om 160 to 180 each assembly. The honorary system was set up for a trial run. The State Normal Board has approved a $1,782,500 building budget for Wayne State. Coming out of the budget will be $1,500,000 for a new sdence building and $90,000 to complete and furnish the new Fine Arts Building. Chadron State has received word from the State Normal Board that seven of their fifteen projected projects have been approved. Included in these are replacement of utility lines, improvement of electrical lines, a new boiler, and safety proposals set up by the state fire marshal.

Musicians, two space engineers, several scared students, a dancer, some faculty members, and the queen of the Mighty Mo., Cleo, The Hound have all trod the stage at this year's convocations. Except for the queen's unscheduled debut, all these appearances resulted from planning done by the Student Center Board. This Board, composed of nine student members and two faculty members, is headed by James D. Levitt. Except in rare cases, it plans all convos.

In plans next year for Kearney State are possible Saturday classes. Also classes will begin at 7:30 and end at 5:30 on all other days. Plans are being made, financially and academically, to enlarge Creighton University's Tutor Corps. More than 200 college students are helping to stem t he school drop-out rate by tutoring youngsters. Enrollment at Kearney State next fall is expected to be around 3,900. Two new dormitories, one men's and one women's, are slated to be built from student fullds and rentals.

A new game called "Categories" is being played in the dorm. Maggie Slayter "invented" the game, but has lost eve~ time. She is still trying to win. He r motto is, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." Congratulations go to Kris Wewel and Dom LaRocca who became "officially" engaged January 5.

Majors Hall is· aware of the semester break coming soon. The talk of semester exams is one indication of this. Another sign is the last-minute cleaning of rooms. Majors Hall would like to begin the second semester on a happy note with all rooms newly cleaned. C 1e a n in g procedures consist of scrubbing and waxing the floor. Friday, Jan. 15, was a day of hazardous driving conditions. Several Peru Staters undoubtedly became aware of this on their · journey home from ·Peru. Some did not even leave Peru before they learned of the icy condition;;. Leland Sink was driving his car north from Delzell Hall when he hit an icy spot in the street. His car veered off the street and over an embankment. Neither he nor his two companions, Alan Rothe or Phillip Stroy, received any injuries. Damage was done to the right front fender and bumper of the car. The semester ends Jan. 29. This date is also the graduation date of Larry Giesmann and Bill Scott. Bill is now student teaching in Plattsmouth, while Larry is putting the finishing touches on his courses. However, three of the men now student teaching will be back with us next semes. ter. They are Dan Leuenberger and Marv Corbin, now in Beatrice, ancJ. Ed Meyer, now in Bellevue.

ROUNDUP

Doane College grabbed their second basketball victory of the season from Peru State Bobcats Saturday night, nipp{ng the 'Cats 71-70 at Butler gymnasium, Crete, Nebarska. Doane's Tigers took the lead early in the opening half and displayed a fine ball control attack to maintain their lead throughout the game. The Tigers led 39-33 at halftime. Coach Jack Mcintire's Bobcats, down 57-63 with 3:40 remaining, moved into a press in an all out effort to overtake the Tigers. The Peruvians' hounding proved all but effective as they moved to within one point of Doane as the final buzzer sounded. The Bobcats' reboijnding game appeared improved over previous outings as they gathered in 47 of 73 challenges off the board. Ron Snodgrass and Dick Estes led Peru's rebounding efforts with 12 each. Snodgrass also led Peru's scoring attack with 19 points. The game's leading scorer was Larry Andrews of Doane with 10 field goals and five free throws for 25 points.

By Dick Berthold The Bobcats utilized their full court press with six minutes remaining to clip Northwest Missouri State by a slim margin of 66-64. At halftime, the Bobcats trailed 32-20 in the non-conference clash. John Chasse dumped the lead basket to put the Bobcats ahead 65-64, then added a free throw for the winning margin. Peru hit 16 of 21 free throws while Maryville collected on 16 of 20 free shots. The Bobcats totaled 25 baskets compared to· Maryville's 24 to round out the scoring statistics. Doane survived the Bobcats' press to capture their secondnonconference triumph over Peru by a 71-70 skinning. The Bobcats performed at capacity against the Tigers although the single point gnawing was a heartbreaking loss. The contest was without incident as the referees made three serious book mistakes which possibly decided the game's final outcome. Wayne invades the Bobcat home court Jan. 30 for another battling conference dash with the Bobcats. Wayne holds third position, one above the Bobcats, in NCC standings. Wayne's Dean DeBuhr {!Ould cause scoring difficulty for the Bobcats. DeBuhr connected for 33 points against Southern South Dakota Jan. 18. The Bobcats are working strenuously and are still enthused despite their record. Coach Mcintire commented, "The Bobcats are a young team composed mainly of sophomores. After they get more seasoning and experience, things will shape up." Eight cinder men have been training daily while preparing for the Bobcats' track season. Alvin Hendricks, James Watson, James O'Donoghue, Dick Zaparanick, Louis Fritz, Roger Neujahr, James Hagemeier, and Roger Crook form the nucleus of the winter workouts .

Gym Was Originally A Chapel BY GEORGE ZWICKEL JR. The Peru State College Gymnasium was originally built to be a combination chapel and auditorium. The construction of this building was completed in 1894. The. gymnasium portion of the building was then located in the basement of the building. However, in 1917, due to poor acoustics, the auditorium portion of the building was remodeled. At this time the gymnasium w a s moved to the first floor. A very interesting point of Peru history is tied in with the building of the college gymnasium. The bricks used to build the structure were manufactured in Peru. At that time a brickyard was located north of the present post office and just west of a blacksmith shop on Fifth Street. The brkks used for the building were the last manufactured by this firm. The original building was Romanesque style, showing characteristics of buttresses, s tr in g courses, battlements, crockets, barrel valuts, round arches, and a steep gabled roof. It was entirely constructed of brick with a stone trim. It had the effect of having three front entrances. In 1949, the building was remodeled. More convenient dressing rooms and classrooms re-

placed the old ones. The steep roof and arches were removed. The towers of the building were also reduced in height. Also in 1949, an addition to the original building was built. This is the portion which is now occupied by the back one-third of the ba&ketball floor and on the lower level by a varsity dressing room.

Mary Ann Biere Writes Of Second Grade Teaching Experience In Nebraska City It is quite an experience when you take your first step in student teaching. The first day is filled with many trials. The supervisor I was assigned to was Miss Dorothy Nicholas, a graduate of Peru State. She teaches the second grade at 14th Street in Nebraska City. Miss Nicholas was pleasant and reassuring, with her educational knowledge and warm personality. The classroom had an educational atmosphere, which was re· assuring to me. The elementary children seemed happy and excited. I could see children of all descriptions peering at me. I bravely smiled and took a seat in the back of th€ room. (9ontin,ued on iPage four)

ANYO~

MAY CONTRmUTE TO PED

Recently students have questioned whether outside contributions are accepted in the Ped. The editors are happy to receive material from anyone. However, the contributions must be signed; anonymous articles cann~t be printed. The editors reserve the right to reject any material which is submitted, if necessary. As editors of the Ped, we hear many comments about the quality of the paper. We are trying to publish a good school paper, and we welcome these suggestions; Up to this point, however, there has been nothing but talk on the part of non-staff people. This is the time to "put your money where your mouth is." If you have an article or suggestion which you want to have printed in the Ped, give it to any editor. All material submitted will be carefully considered. -Dorothy Bock, editor.

WILL YOU BE A GOOD TEACHER? Will you make a good teacher? I think this question enters the mind of every individual going into teaching. There are times when most of us are uncertain as to our ability to become a good teacher. There is no such thing as keeping hours in teaching. One does all he can before he becomes too tired to work effectively. Still he faces the vast undone. One should be sure of three things before he ever embarks on a teaching career. The :Nrst thing is that he really enjoys his subject enough to dedicate his life to working with it. The second is that he has enough understanding and knowledge in his field to do an acceptable job, even when the inexhaustible demands of a teacher's life have left him very little chance for preparation. And lastly, one must like to teach. A real teacher must help his students to find their own way in the realms of knowledge. One must strive to bring out the creativeness in each individual. The teacher must have self-discipline enough to set reasonable standards for the students. He must care about teaching the slow learner as well as the intelligent students. There is no better assurance of a student's respect than the confidence that the teacher really knows what he is talking about in the classroom and other situations. We, as future teachers, have an obligation to be the very best. Let's. all live up to this obligation. -By. Larry Piper.

IS THIS MESS NECESSARY? Why must the front of Morgan Hall always look like a trash pile? . ,. Everyone who sits on the steps leaves a remmder of ms visit behind. Everything from cigarettes to paper cup~can be seen on either side of the steps. There are wastepaper baskets inside the dorm in ~he lounge; these were meant for this purpose. Perhaps the situation could be helped in another way too. Couldn't one or two painted barrels be put in the corner out of sight? Then the people on the steps would have a place to put their paper. The rest of the campus is clear of paper most of the time, but in front of Morgan Hall there is always a mess. Let's clean it up! ' -By Joan Dickman.

End Of Semester Celebrated By Dance (Continued from page one) school seniors from the surrounding area were also invited to attend. Approximately 160 students,

chaperoned by Miss Regier and Mr. Nemec of Peru's language department, danced from 7:30 u111til 10:30 to the music provided by ''The Unknowns." Ceci Evangelist and Ralph DiCesare were in charge of the decorations.

DELZELL HALL By Bill Bowen Delzell Hall is back to normal after the semester break with one hundred sixty-nine men staying in the dormitory for the second semester. There were forty-three applications for residence, and of those, thirty-four new residents are living in Delzell Hall. The new residents were welcomed to the dorm Monday night at a dormitory meeting. The meeting involved an explanation of dormitory rules and proce· dures followed by the presenta· tion of candy bars to the dorm residents. This semester's dormitory of.ficers were introduced, including Ray Cain, president; Loren Penkava, vice president; and Ron MoCoy, secretary-treasurer. The two new counsellors were also introduced. Gary Viterise is now working on the first floor, and Charles Gordon is working on the third floor.

We have two people back from student teaching; Larry Trimble and Alvin Henrichs both taught in Beatrice. Larry Trimble has re-assumed his job as counsellor. It's nice to welcome them back as well as several other people who are back in the dorm after being away. Some rather interesting trips were made during the semester break. Several Delzell residents left for both the South and the West. Alan Zipper, Alan Sullivan, Ed McGaughey, Tom. Bresnahan, Greg Dickerson, andPete Zona all headed south for New Orleans. Ralph Procaccini, Dennis Martin, and John Sinnod traveled west to the Grand Canyon.

Bobkittens Victorious In Nemaha Valley Tourney The Peru Prep Bobkittens emerged victorious in the recent Nemaha Valley Conference basketball tournament. After downing Brock, 61-59, they took successive victories from Elk Creek, 56-54, in the semi-finals and from Lourdes Central, 61-50, in the finals. Mike Tynon and John Mcintire led the Bobkittens in~oring through the tournament. The three tournament vi c tori e s evened their record at eight wins and eight losses for the season.

An attempt is being made to form a Rescue Squad Unit for Nemaha County. This Unit will be based in Auburn and will serve all of Nemaha County. It is estimated that $5500 will need to be raised for this project. The faculty and stud~nt body of Peru State College have been asked to contribute to this worthy cause. A box is located in the Business Office to receive any contribution you would care to make to this cause. Your contribution will be appreciated. Erv. Pitts

Estes and Cain paced the Bobcats with i9 and 18 points respectively. Dean DeBuhr paced the Wildcats with a 26 point outburst. Wayne 'state closed the scoring gap in the las\ minutes of action as McIntire's substitutes finished the game. Kearney ended the Bobcats' bid for top NCC contention Febr. 6 by defeating the 'Oats 80-68. The Antelopes' press kept Peru off balance throughout the contest. The game tied 35-35 at halftime as errors stopped both teams from gaining a margin. M i k e Harmon collected 29 points while Estes followed with 19 points. The Bobcats connected on 10 of 18 charity shots, and Kearney collected 16 of 35 free throws. Peru used the charity line Febr. 9 to defeat Doane by a 7772 margin. The Bobcats connected on 78 per cent of their free throws for 25 points while the Doane Tigers averaged 10 of 23 free throws. Doane had a 31-26 edge in field goals.

The loss for Peru marks coach Jack Mcintire's first double defeat by Kearney in his nine years as head coach at Peru State, and virtually drops the Bobcats from NCC contention. The Antelopes of Kearney State applied an off ang on full court press to keep the Bobcats off balance throughout the game. Halftime found the score tied 3535 as errors kept both teams from gaining a decisive advantage. Early in the second period a 13-point scoring spree involving Kearney's Bob Whitehouse and Larry Martin gave the Antelopes the momentum to slide on to victory. Martin led Kearney's scoring attack with 20 points. Mike Hare mon produced his best scoring effort of the season as he rolled in 29 points for the Bobcats.

At first, Thursday, Febr. 11, seemed like just another wintry, blustery day. There was a little snow and a lot of sliding to classes. After first period classes, students buttoned their coats tighter and hurried to their next destination for Mr. Winter was becoming more boisterous. Other students looked: out windows, and turned on the radio only to hear reports of various school closings and warnings to stay off roads as much as possible. This presented a small problem for Peru's commuters though. With mixed emotions of apprehension and excitement, Peruvians were all aware by noon that this was the year's first real blizzard. The snow came faster than the custodians could scoop it off the sidewalk. Various students began to worry that th e weather would ruin their plans

Mary Ann Biere Writes Of Teaching Experience In N~braska City (Continued from page one) The first two weeks were spent in observation. During this time, I acquainted myself with the class procedures and realized also the importance of adequate class preparation. It was hard at first for Miss Nicholas to gain complete attention of the children. They would always look back to see what I was doing. But observing helped me to gain an insight into their attitudes, traits, and behavior. The following weeks, I assumed: the responsibility of teaching. My teaching was d o n e through the observed procedures and integrated with the methods learned in my .college classes. I found a need for visual aids, dramatization, and other projects in different areas in the elementary grade necessary. With different aids, the children seemed to understand and learn faster. I felt that children appreciated these aids. They made puppets and acted out stories. I had them make a booklet on "Sound," for a science project. This was just one thing I used. But any different or exciting idea used: always met with the majority approval. If one has interest and participation of the class, he should

Friday, however, the snow had stopped and the sun shone on the earth's new white robe. Although a couple of commuters, Mrs. Lines and Mrs. Bennett, decided to spend Thursday night in the girls dorm, the worry about not getting home for the week-end had almost vanished. Friday evening the students enjoyed the snow on a sledding party. Saturday and Sunday, many students, free from the worry of classes for a few days, spent at least a couple of gay hours playing in the snow.

have few disciplinary problems. A meaningful look, few words spoken, or ignoring the situation was all that seemed necessary. I would keep children in after school. This was for assignments not completed or a 1problem that I felt should be handled at that time. Children of second grade age are easier to discipline as it takes few actions or words to get results. During a spelling lesson, for example, one boy was cheating. All I did was walk over to his desk, and throw his paper from which he was copying, into the waste basket. Through student teaching I could see and realize the importance of professional ethics, attitudes, and training.

And now for the news at 6:30. New troops have moved in ..." And a clock radio! All up and down the halls, alarms demand and redemand to be heard until their owners can no longer refuse recognition, and grope for their switches. Someone finds a snooze alarm. Quiet again as the girls wring one last moment of pleasure from their beds. After hesitating as long as they dare, they crawl from beneath the warm covers into the cold room. Scattered solitary lights wink on. Bare feet pad toward the restrooms, and soon there are flushing sounds. Somewhere the snooze alarm goes off, but is husihed by someone's hand. Water belches from the faucet and gurgles down the pipes as eyes gradually begin to open. Amid the flushing, belching, and gurgling, water pipes start to clankingly complain of overwork. Still\ in bed, lucky girls without 7:3p's roll over and try to blot with covers the light and sound their roommates have produced. Somewhere the snooze alarm begins to sound again and is caught again by solljeOne's hand. Curlers plunk "in curler pails" Hair spray sets up a smog. Perfume begins to taint the air. A bottle hits the floor, and soft profanity floats up the hall. Closet doors swing open, closed. Snaps snap shut, and zippers zipper up.

The final yearbook deadline for this year's book is March 8, and the final supplement deadline is set for June 5. Approximately 110 pages of the new Peruvian have been sent in to the printer, and work on the rest of the book seems to be going along quite smoothly. The new yearbooks are scheduled to arrive during the third or fourth week in May. The books should prove to be very interesting, colorful, and accurate as the result of the effort displayed by members of the yearbook staff.

The situation 'is probably due to the fact that several people are responsible for the ",are of the flag. However, this carelessness does not speak well for the college, and we feel that steps should be taken to insure proper treatment of our flag.

Ed Stillinger and Rod Baade spent the weekend in Fort Madison, Iowa, visiting Gary Stover, who teaches in the Fort Madison school system.

Niemeyer placed first in a triangular meet at ()maha University last week. Chuck vaulted 12 feet. Roy Windhorst placed second in the shot put.

Woes Of lntramurals Winning spirit, which is very prevalent in intramural basketball, is something to behold. The participants have an uncanny desire to win, most of them to the extent that they care more about their intramural team than they do about the college team. The first requisite of a team is having a name which is enhancing to all who hear i!t. Using this criteria, we come up with names such as "Road Runners," "Misfits," (and they are), "Glunks," "Worcesterites," (with as many as two or three boys who are actually from Worcester), "Emperors," "Centennials," "Duds" (and they are), and "Playboys" (and they really are). After the names, come the games. When basketball season arrives, the boys get togetherfor pre-game warm-ups and their spirit is very high. They run and holler encouragement and as the games proceed, tempers flare at certain officiating calls and at times a fist or two has be en known to fly through the air, aimed for a friendly chin. When a team wins, they are surprisingly exuberant about the victory· and rehash the game in the shower room, each player extolling his own prowess and endeavoring to pat his own back. During and after the first game, blisters are prevalent on the undisciplined feet of the warriors as they hustle up and down the floor. Aches and pains arrive the next morning as the players begin to feel the effect of using flabby muscles and of catching an eLbow in the ribs or a left to the jaw. In days to follow, the spirit of the teams remains high as they talk in anticipation of their next game and are always quite careful in seeing that at least five players know about the game which is upcoming. The intramural program is a. big asset to Peru because it does stimulate the interest among the student body and it provides an outlet for the boys' pent up emotions and lack of physical exercise. As long as the spirit remains among the participants and they enjoy their nights of athletic activity, intramurals will be a main part of student cooperation and incentive.

The district journalism contest will be held Saturday, March 13, on the Peru campus. Tests will be given in news feature writing, sports writing, editorial writing, copy-reading, editing and headline writing, yearbook copy reading and editing, yearbook copywriting, yearbook layout, newspaper layout, advertising, and radio news-writing and announcing. Winners at the district contest will be eligible for the state meet. District contests are also being held at the University of Nebraska, Wayne State College, Midland Lutheran College, McCook Junior College, Kearney State College, and Chadron State College. Participants in the Peru contest will come from high schools in the following counties: Cass, Otoe, Nemaha, Richardson, Johnson, Pawnee, Gage, Saline, and Jefferson. The contest is sponsored by the Nebraska High School Press Association and the Nebraska School of Journalism.

~Kiss

of Death" Well Attended

Thursday, March 11, the Spring lay, The Kiss of Death was prented at the college auditorium. s Jim Manning sang and told e tale of love, deceit, and reenge, Lonn Pressnall received e fatal kiss from Wanda Andrson. From that moment, he was arked for death at the guns of on Wiksell. Not even Myrene ildebrand, the town's most alkative woman, would tell the 'pore young stranger" of his imending doom. But true love and udy Elsinger's sharp hatpin aved Lonn from "gitting hot ead in his gizzard." Bill Bouton did a wonderful ob on the wall mural and other cenery. The stage crew built all ew flats for the play. Mr. Moore, Barbara Gordon, nd the whole cast offer their anks to Dorothy Bock, Mary llen Oestmann, and Mary Ann nade for the gigantic task of etting props and costumes. Mr. Bohlken was an energetic and able technical assistant. Other ·credits go to Mr. Sherwood an:d Mary Ann Gnade for designing the programs, and to Mrs. Gnade, Mrs. Moore, Ginny Mullen, and Mr. Bohlken for makeup. It has been rumored that people are in the plays at Peru just to eat Mrs. Gnade's refreshments -that's a very good reason too.

S.G.A. Movies May Be Discontinued On Sunday night, March 7, the Student Governing Association presented another of its series of Sunday night movies. The movie seen that night was "My Seven Convicts." Sunday night, March 21, saw the presentation of "The House of Usher."' The S.G.A. announced before the showing of last night's movie that unless the attendance improved at the presentations, that it would be necessary to discontinue the series. The attendance at the movies has apparently not been what it should, so unless some increase in interest is shown, the movies will not be shown in the future.

District Two Speech Contest Held At Peru The Nebraska High School Ac· tivities Association Dis·trict Two Speech Contest was held on the campus of Peru State College Friday, March 19, 1965. The annual District Two contest is held as a qualifying prerequisite to the state speech contest. The local director of the contest was Mr. Robert D. Moore, Reali' of the Language Arts Department. He was assisted by Mr. James D. Levitt in organizing the contest events. The district contest is held by Peru State as a service to the area high schools. High schools competing in the contest were divided into two classifications, Class "A" and Class "B." The District Two contest was one of the few that includes both Class "A" and Class "B" schools in one contest. Schools entered in Class "A" competition included Nebraska City, Auburn, Falls City, Tecumseh, and Syracuse. In Class "B" the schools included Dawson-Verdon, Talmage, Nebraska City Lourdes Central, Falls City Sacred Heart, Peru Prep, Platteview, Weeping Water, Palmyra, and Johnson. The contest events taking place on Friday included one act plays, poetry reading, oral interpretation of prose literature, oral interpretation of drama, informative public speaking, interpretative public speaking, television news commentary, original public address, and d i s c u s s i o n . Judges were Mr. Lyle Domina, Mr. Silas Summers, Mr. Robert Bohlken, Mr. James D. Levitt, and Mr. Robert D. Moore. Also judging was Mr. Donald Trubey of Northwest Missouri State Col· lege. In the discussion rounds the judges were Laura West, Judy Finke, Dan Knudsen, John Webster, and Bill Bowen, all students at Peru State. Time will explain it all. He is a talker, and needs no questioning before he speaks.-Euripides.

Peru State College will host the seventh annual Scholastic Contests to be held on Friday, March 26. Forty-seven area high schools will compete in nearly 1,000 tests. Competition is open to all students enrolled in grades t e n through twelve, according to Leonard Cartier, director. Certificates will be awarded to the students finishing in the first three positions. The contest areas are: drawing, biology, typewriting, industrial arts, home economics, English usage, world literature, spelling, algebra, geometry, chemistry, physics, shorthand, American history, world history, American government, music, health, Latin, French, German, and Spanish. Last year's winners, Falls City in Class A and Lourdes Central in Class B, will return to defend their titles.

Yearbook Final Deadline Met Editor Harvey Fisher announced that this year's final deadline for the Peruvian was met March 8. It contained 120 pages and all activities including pictures of basketball and the Valentine dance. The book will be delivered in May. The supplement will include 12 pages to be published this summer and distributed next fall.

On campus to speak at Peru Kiwanis meeting, Gov. Morrison chats with visiting volleyball players.

Gymnastics Team To Sponsor Carnival

The Gymnastics Team h a s completed its tour for this season. Gymnasts have performed at various high schools in Iowa and Nebraska. On their recent tour they gave performances at Council Bluffs, Iowa, for both junior high and senior high students and at Auburn and Hebron. In addition to their tour they have performed at halftimes of various basketball games. Just recently they sponsored a Fun Night to raise money. Mr. Pilkington was very pleased with the members of the Gymnastics Team this year and expressed a desire to see new members next year.

GUIDES TO SUCCESS There are no exact rules to guarantee success, but there are guides to point the way by which others have found a measure of it. Call them rules, if you wish. Here they are. All work is combined of little tasks done daily. Some are harder than others, but if you like your work, you will do the hardest things first. In that way no challenge ever becomes a burden. Accept criticism as growing out of the desire of someone to help you. We learn to do right by being shown what we have done wrong. Produce all the enthusiasm for your work that you possibly can, for enthusiasm spreads and makes the tasks of everyone important, and easier to do. Build self-confidence by doing everything right the first time, if possible. ·Know your work. Try these guides throughout the year. -By Ginny Grossman thing about the culprits, at least we hope the break-ins will stop. DELZELL HALL By Bill Bowen

Lester Turner, Alvin Henrichs, and Bill Klabunde, who were displaced by the fire in Delzell, have moved back into their old room. The reconstruction of the room included the addition of the most brilliant yellow walls the dorm has ever seen. If it weren't for the soot covered walls in the hall, you'd never know we had a fire. The laundry room in Delzell has suffered another idiotic act of vandalism. I want to personally "thank" and "congratulate" whoever smashed the controls on one of the washing machines. You join a select group of senseless idiots, including the happy soul who took the knobs off the clothes dryer doors. Sometimes it seems a marvel that we have anything left in the dormitory. I don't think it's too much for those of us who use the dorm laundry facilities to ask that they be left in one piece.

The third floor of Delzell has finally achieved the ultimate touch of luxury. Our shower stalls are now graced with shower curtains. Af<ter seven months of being on display while taking a shower, it's nice to have some privacy. To whoever is responsible, goes a .big "thank you." This, along with hall lights that work, has made the third floor livable again. The warmer weather has only made the mud problem worse, but I've yet to talk to someone who isn't willing to put up with the mess as long as the weather stays warm and comfortable. The pups of Majors Hall and the ill-fated cat of Morgan Hall have a new contemporary in the collie that spends most of his time in Delzell.

ELIZA MORGAN HALL By Barbara Gordon I feel as though I'm writing a strictly society column this issue. The past two weeks were filled with marriages and engagements. Carol Thornton and Dan Coffey were married in Falls City, March 6. Connie Hoschar, Mary Mowry, Diane Morrison, Mary Martin, Judy Harbison, Sheryl Davis, Cherie Trevino, and Joanie Sprieck attended the wedding. They were house guests of Sally Kelly, who was maid of honor. Carol and Dan are living at Chester. Judy Strange and Terry Kuenning were married March 12 in Auburn. Many girls attended the wedding, including Maggie Slayter and Marilyn Masters, w h o were in the wedding party. Judy and Terry are living in Auburn. And now for the engagements. Janie Moore's engagement to Larry Hayes was announced this week. They plan an August 14 wedding at Hampton, Va., Janie's home town. They will live in Peru after the wedding. Two roommates became engaged this weekend. Charlotte Hershberger is engaged to Larry Nedrow. Marilyn Hunzeker and Charles Wellensiek are engaged. The girls on second floor seem to like unusual birthday parties. Mary Mowry' s birthday was March 7. She was given a birthday card party-each guest made her a card. Jan Beemer had a birthday Wednesday, March 17. Cherie Trevino entered the Auburn hospital last Tuesday. Some of the second floor girls sent her flowers, and hope she will return to the dorm this week. Pat McNulty was a recent visitor to the Playboy Club in Kansas City, Kansas. Pat returned with a few souvenirs and stated he enjoyed his visit. Allen Scott, Gary Madison, John Soby, and Rod Baade have been developing and enlarging various pictures. They are enrolled in Photography I this semester. LaVelle Hitzeman was elected vice-president of the LSA this past week. Various dorm residents are still in the process of signing teaching contracts for the coming school year. The latest member to sign a contract was Harv Fisher. ' Roy Windhorst placed first in the shot-put at a recent track meet with Northwest Missouri State. Peru came out on the short end of this meet. Other residents taking part in the meet were Jim Watson and Tom Rosengran. Pat McNulty recently installed a two-way radio in his room. Various dorm residents enjoy listening to people talk over it.

Fortunes Of Peru Prep Bobkittens

SPORTS ROUNDUP

BY BRUCE McCOY

By Dick ·Berthold

The fortunes of the Peru Prep Bobkittens were tempest tossed this year.

Coach Jack Mcintire named 12 lettermen for the 1964-65 Peru Staie College basketball season. Left to right: D. Caine, B. Rinne, R. Kroll, M. Harmon, J. Jennings, R. Estes, J. Rinne, J. Alexand· er, R. Capps. Not pictured: B. Wiiiy, J. Chasse, R. Snodgrass.

Diamond Mentor Hopes For Banner Season According to Coach Al Wheeler, prospects for a good baseball season loom bright on the horizon. Twelve returning lettermen form the nucleus of the 1965 .diamond edition. The club appears to be strong in hitting, although there is not much left-handed hitting strength to take advantage of the short confines of right field on the Peru diamond. According to Mr. Wheeler, there will be more team speed than in the past. The schedule is as strong as it has ever been, but the Wheelermen will be battling for every game to make his last season a good one. Competition is fierce for starting assignments. In the infield, lettermen Luke Cox and Steve Pattison are vying for the first base position and newcomers Don Cobb and John Chasse are fighting for second base. Lettermen Allan Sullivan and Jim Hardick ""· "'!!!!!!!!fl are the leading prospects f o r """ shortstop and third base with y Owen Dierks and Jack White_ _ _, head pressing them. l-24

In the outfield, lettermen Bruce McCoy, Jim Manning and Gary Young head the cast, while being forced to hustle by Ron Yates, John Alexander and Roger Gifford. Lettermen Dick Floerchinger and Pat Vendetti head the catching corps and are backed by Tim Logsdon and George Evangelist. Heading the list of pitchers are lettermen Frank Spizuoco, Larry Fangmeyer and Ray Cain. Other pitching prospects in-

elude Don Lehmann, Harry Leth, Dale Borman, Bob Hayn, Pete Lynch, Jack Cook and Ray Johnson. The squad will get its test as it opens at powerful Central Missouri State, then travels to Creighton. Team spirit is high and the team hopes that many students will turn out to cheer for them at all the home games. The schedule for the season is as follows: Mar. 29 Central Missouri State at Warrensburg, 1:00 p.m. Apr. 2 Creighton University at Omaha, 1:00 p.m. Apr. 6 St. Benedid's at Atchison, Kansas, 1:00 p.m. Apr. 10 Wayne State at Peru, 1:00 p.m. Apr. 14 Maryville at Maryville, Missouri, 1:00 p.m. Apr. 19 Graceland at Lamoni, Iowa, 3:00 p.m. Apr. 23 Kearney State at Kearney, 1:00 p.m. ...., Apr. 27 Hastings College at Peru, 1:00 p.m. Apr. 29 Tarkio College at Peru, 1:00 p.m. May 4 Chadron State at Broken Bow, Nebr., 2:30 & 7:30.

Thi'ncfads Show Favorably The Peru cindermen made a good showing at the recent Federation Meet held at the University of Nebraska Fieldhouse in Lincoln. Medals were given for the first three places. Top medal winner was Roger Crook. He garnered a second place in the 60 yard low hurdles and a third place in the 440 yard dash. In the lows he finished second to David Kudron, former prep hurdles champion, now a freshman at Nebraska University. Another creditable showing was made by Lowell Brown, who finished second in the broad jump to former Big Eight cham· pion Victor Brooks. Gene Noel finished third in the high hurdles, Dave Seward third in the low hurdles and Buddy McCrea third in the high jump. Although he didn't get a medal, Charlie Niemeyer finished fourth in the pole vault with a high of thirteen feet.

Golf Tearn Shaping Up The match schedule for the Peru State golf team will be released on March 22 and will feature ten conference games and a tournament. The team will use the Nebraska City Golf Course for home matches. Those qualifying for the team will be selected during the last week of March. Bill Heineman will be the only returning letterman.

Table Rock Rocks Bratton For Title In Volleyball Meet Table Rock received top hon· ors at the nineteenth annual High School Girls Volleyball Tournament by defeating Bratton Union 11-15, 15-8, 15-8. In the semi-finals Table Rock stopped fourth place Avoca 15-12, 15-10. Bratton Union received their position in the finals with a smooth victory over third place Elmwood 15~11, 15-11. The quarter-finals were represented by: last year's champion Murdock, who lost to Table Rock; Dawson-Verdon, who bowed to Avoca; Sterling, stopped by Elmwood; and Stella, who stepped aside for Bratton Union. Bennet players practice "spikes" in pre-game warm-up.

Volleyball Tournament Had Its Excitement "Side out!" ''Honestly, Myrtle, ·can't you keep that ball inside the court? If you keep this up I'll be forced to put Hilda in your place. Now, let's go, girls!" To the spectators, volleyball may be a fun game; but when girls are playing the game and competing for trophies at the same time, it can become hectic. There were some minor injuries during the tournament this past week but not enough to scare the rest of the girls to distraction. But what can be done with Lucy who has the long fingernails (how does she keep them?) that tend to slash human flesh, or with Betty who seems to be all over the court and in everyone's way, or with Frieda whose large feet seem to trip everyone but herself? These are unavoidable circumstances and are inevitable in a girl's volleyball game. There are many other things that constitute a hearty game of girls' volleyball, such as the redheads who fly off the handle at the referees when given the opportunity. Then there are the larger girls with whom no one, not even the referees, intend to get involved. And, Of course, there are always the girls who keep right on playing even after the whistle has blown. Fortunately, none of these mishaps occurred during the volleyball tournament on Peru campus last week. The thirty-two competing teams came to Peru with their own cheering sections and a lot of spirit, skill, and good sportsmanship. The games went smoothly and without much difficulty. The teams and their traveling cheering sections worked and pulled together for victories. We should all commend the girls who participated in the volleyball games and the cheering on their fine conduct and outstanding playing ability.

Six Bobcats Place In Lincoln Meet Peru State College thin clads competed with Wesleyan, Doane, Concordia, Dana, Nebraska freshmen and a few Nebraska varsity athletes in the federation championships at Lincoln on Saturday, March 6.

World Of Sandburg In Convocation The students of Peru State enjoyed a very entertaining convo March 17 by the Kaleidoscope Players. Bill Fegan, manager and founder, Lee Speich, Eric Conklin, Sam Buck, and Ian Thomson presented "The World of Carl Sandburg." Many different dramatic, humorous, and musical selections were given from Sandburg's readings.

Much Color Of Color Song Has Been Lost BY BRUCE McCOY Originally, the Peru State Color Song had mucll more "color" to it. Through the years, the last two verses have been forgotten and today the main emphasis is placed on the first verse. Everyone is required to know this first verse, but why have the last two been put aside? If we want to learn the true meaning of what the Color Song was originally for, we should take a look at the complete song. How many people know all three verses th a t follow? Fling abroad our college colors To the free Nebraska breeze Blending heaven's own white and azure With the soft green of the trees While our loyal hearts and voices With pride and joy unite As we sing Peru's devotion To the pale blue and the white.

Cejkas Tell Of Peru As It Wa BY JOAN BRETTHORST Time is the author of change. And a half century makes a great deal of difference in the mode of living. During no period of history did life in the United States change move radically than during the last fifty years. The small midwestern town has been as much affected as any locality, and for the sake of pure curiosity it would be interesting to note the contrast between the Peru of today and the Peru of yesteryear. Naturally, the long-time inhabitants themselves are the best source of information. Mr. and Mrs. John Cejka, owners of the Peru Cleaners and Tailors Shop, have always had more than an ordinary interest in the town, the college, and the students. Having served Peru longer than any other merchants, they supplied facts and human interest items about the town as it was 48 years ago when they arrived. Originally from Czechoslavakia, Mr. Cejka cam~ to the United States in 1911. He had studied tailoring in Vienna, Austria, and after his arrival in America, began studying in New York. According to Mr. and Mrs. Cejka, Peru was quite a prosperous village. Business establishments included seven grocery stores, two banks, two drug stores, a mortuary parlor, a printing shop, a cider factory, a laundry, livery barns, and a lumber yard employing thirty people. There were also four doctors, and two dentists. A hay barn stood where the drug store now is, and a threestory hotel occupied the site of one of the present filling stations. Four passenger trains stopped regularly in Peru. In 1917 the main street of Peru ran east and west, past what is now the faculty housing and right up to the gate of the college. Not until 1920, after much debate, was it changed to its present location. A common sight on Main Street was the ridiculed "horseless carriages" parked in the middle of the road, not along the sides as they are today. On the average, the girls at Peru State were older than the boys, for many of them had taught at country schools for several years before attending nor· mal school.

'There was only one coll dormitory for the girls, and n for the boys, who stayed in va ious rooming houses a r o u n town. Married students were known, and when the first dent (a boy) married while s in school, a big celebration w held. Those boys in the college ch who detest having to "dress u to sing for audiences can grateful that they are a part today's world, for ,in 1917 boys' Glee Club wore tuxed for every performance. "Way back when," Peru Sta did not habitually resemble ghost town on weekends, beca a dance was usually held a most of the students stayed. is one case in which progress in all probability, not for best. Although they have receiv offers from other larger towns set up business there, the Cejk maintain that they will rema in Peru, fortunately for both t town and the college.

Mrs. Ellen Dell Bieler, Chicago, field consultant of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers, will visit future teachers at Peru State College Thursday, March 25. She will be accompanied by two offi~ials of the Nebraska Congress of Parents and Teachers-Mrs. Ralph Beechner, president, and Mrs. George E. Robertson, cbairman of the cooperation with colleges committee. During Mrs. Bieler1s staY' on the Peru State campus she will talk with students majoring in elementary education and with senior students in secondary education. Mrs. Bieler hiis visited nearly all of the state congresses to help develop more effective PTA leadership. She participated in the 1963 fall conference of the European Congress of American Parents and Teachers at Garmisch, West Germany, and spoke to the European Liason Commission of the International Union of Family Organizations. Mrs. Beechner and Mrs. Robertson will tell of activities of the Nebraska Congress.

The business office at Peru State announced a new procedure in distributing student payroll checks. All checks will be sent to the department head where the student works, and each check need not be signed for as previously. If the student worked in more than one department, the check will be sent to the department where the student attained the most hours. If the student has financial obligations to the college, the check will be held for that student in the business office. This new procedure marks another advancement in the efficiency of business relations at Peru State. Because of the increase in checks, which number approximately 115 semi-monthly, there is more efficiency in business operations and provides more convenience for the student. Next year, because of increased enrollment, this procedure should prove beneficial. 'The student checks will be sent beginning with the next payroll to: Mrs. Beckley, Morgan Hall; Mrs. Brandt, Library; Don Carlile, Special Services; Dr. Christ, Science and Math; Del Gaines, Maintenance, Delzell, Majors; Mrs. Gnade, Post Office; H. W. Johnson, Placement; F. H.

Springtime In Peru BY ANNA MARIE DeGERLIA

Springtime in Peru is like .... A sudden and ferocious snowstorm That drifts and drifts and drifts Then melts and melts and melts Then freezes and freezes and freezes Then melts and melts and melts. Eventually it will evaporate. But spring is not here yet! So, prepare for a sudden snowstorm That will drift and drift and drift Then freeze and freeze and freeze Then melt and melt and melt. But, maybe, it will stop there. Then it will flood and flood and flood.

Student Center Board Announces 1965 Frances Wheeler May Fete Royalty

BY BRUCE McCOY

BY BARBARA GORDON

In the fall of 1938, a new face appeared on the campus of Peru State College and this :mQ.n was to leave his imprint indelibly in the minds and hearts of thousands of Peru students who came under his tutelage. This man, Alfred George Wheeler, has contributed so heavily to the development of Peru State that it would be next to impossible to write down everything he has done for the s<.:hool and its many students over the years. The following account, largely from old Peruvians, will attempt to go over the ·highlights of his days at Peru and bring b a c k memories of his overwhelming importance in this college community. The 1939 Peruvian stated that he used "precise" English in telling muscle builders, "If you wan'na have a ball club-" or "If you're gon'na go out and teach-." It further stated that Al Wheeler believes in putting out a team that will play good, hard and clean football and that he promotes conditioning and careful aid of injured players. It was also pointed out that "Al" was a firm believer in intramurals and sports that will carry over into future years. The 1941 Peruvian stated that Mr. Wheeler is a champion trainer of athletes and a medicine man of the "get in shape" variety and that he requires nothing he can't do himself and thinks consonants on the end of words are trivial and unnecessary. It also states that Coach Wheeler's philosophy of the gridiron sport is the basis for the determination of his tutored teams. The 1942 yearbook says that Mr. Wheeler can "certainly use chalk," that he has flowers in (Continued on page three)

It is most appropriate that "Coach Al" have a wife as popular and as active as he. Mrs. Frances Wheeler is held in an equally affectionate regard by "her girls" as Coach Al is by "his boys." Mrs. Wheeler was born in Crouse, N. C. She still retains a trace of her charming southern accent despite a long residence in the middle west. She received a B.S. from Woman's College, University of North Carolina, Greensboro. She taught physical education at Durham, N. C., and the University of Tennessee. It was at Columbia University that she met Mr. Wheeler for the first time. Both were working toward their M.A.'s. They were married at Christmas, during Mr. Wheeler's first year at Peru. Mrs. Wheeler finished the academic year at the University of Tennessee, teaching women's physical education. In March of that year, she saw the Peru basketball team go to the semi-finals in the N.A.I.A. tournament. Mrs. Wheeler worked part time in the department of physical education here before assuming the position of assistant professor of physical education in September 1957. She has been girls' physical education supervisor in the Campus School since 1951. The W.A.A. or Women's Athletic Association is sponsored by Mrs. Wheeler. Members participate in various sports, sponsor events-such as the recent volleyball tournament, and present awards and scholarships.

A great part of ihe social event at Peru, May Fete, is under the direction of Mrs. Wheeler. She directs and coordinates the program. Plans begin early e a ch (Continued on page three)

Miss Jan Beemer and Mr. Vinent Sabatinelli have been elected to reign over the 1965 May Fete, which will be held May 7. Miss Beemer is a home economics major and will graduate late in the summer. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Beemer of Bedford, Iowa. Jan is a past homecoming and sweetheart queen. Mr. Sabatinelli is majoring in biology. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Antonio Sabatinelli of Southbridge, Massachusetts. Vinny is a pas,t Sweetheart King. Attending the king and queen will be Marilyn Gonnerman and Gary Schmucker, seniors; Marilyn Masters and Jack Rinne, juniors; Ceci Evangelist and Bill Rinne, sophomores; and Julie Harrison and James Nash, freshmen. Also elected were the ladiesin-waiting: Wanda Anderson, Carol Chandler, Melanie Florea, Diane Morrison, Mary Ann Sharp and Joanie Sprieck.

Melvin, dean of the college, attended the North Central Conference on Summer Schools in Chicago, March 2S and 29. Deans and directors of summer sessions from 107 colleges and universities in the midwest share membership in the conference. Among the' topics discussed in this year's sessions were "Quality of Summer Instruction," "Organizing for the Administration of Summer Programs," and "Issues, Impacts and Opportunities for Sponsored Educational Pro(Continued on page two)

The competing schools were divided into Division A and Division B, with Falls City winning theii. fifth consecutive over-all victory in Division A. Nebraska City Lourdes Central won th e over-all competition in Division B. Auburn placed second in Division A with Clarinda, Iowa winning third place. In Division B Lewiston placed second, with Mead taking third place. Individual first place winners from Falls' City included Nancy Cummins, Shirley Sandrock, Norvalynn Jones, Carol Arnold, Keith Arnold, anclJ Winona Turpin. Individual first place winners from Division B winner, Nebraska City, Lourdes Central included Eileen Wirth, Pat Mullen, Mary Stukenholz, Walter Grantski, Jane Hutchens, Carol Hutchens, and Julie Ryder.

District Two Speech Contest Results Given In the District Two Speech Contest, held on the campus of Peru State College last March 19, a large number of students competed in qualifying rounds for the state speech contest held by the Nebraska High School Activities Association. The results were announced by Mr. Robert D. Moore of Peru State, director of the contest. Superior ratings in one act plays were given to Auburn and Tecumseh in the Class A divission, and to Nebraska City Lourdes Central and Peru Prep in Class B. The best actor and adres,s in Class A were Juanita Constantine of Falls City and Shelby Hendee of Tecumseh. In Class B the awards went to Mary Beth Frederick of Falls City Sacred Heart and Phil Parker of Peru Prep. In original public address, superiors went to Jane Hutchens of Lourdes Central and Diann Rector of Weeping Water in the Class B division.

MAJORS HA.LL· By John Barton Ron Peterson, Harv Fisher, Dan Leuenberger, Charles Niemeyer, and Jon Davis attended a recent State SEAN convention, which was held at Kearney State College. Jon Davis was the state treasurer of this organization. Thursday, March 25, the Peru State College Historical Society held its annual banquet at Nebraska City. Those in attendance from Majors included: Charles Adams, Ron Peterson, Dick Kennedy, Dan Leuenberger, Tim Gilligan, Mike Smagacz, Jon Davis, and John Barton. Don Schmidt and Rod Baade attended a performance by Henry Mancini in Lincoln over the week-end. Don Glaesemann is in the· hospital at Auburn, Nebr. Donbroke his ankle over the week-end playing basketball. He will remain in the hospital for about two weeks. Roy Windhorst is sporting a new look this week. Over the week-end Roy chipped a tooth and cut his mouth. Roy ran into a clothesline. Various members of the dorm will be student teaching t h i s coming nine weeks. They include: Joe Ward, who will student teach in Bellevue; Charles Niemeyer, who will teach at Omaha Westside; Dick Kennedy, who will teach in Shenandoah, Iowa; and Harv Fisher, who will do his student teaching at Peru Prep. Jerry Allen and Rod Baade attended a meeting at · Beatrice, Nebr., Tuesday, March 30. The meeting concerned drlving stock cars for the coming ra<:ing season. Both Jerry and Rod drive racers.

DELZELL· HALL By Bill Bowen Delzell will be losing some people with the end of this nine weeks. These people include Lester Turner, Duane Haith, Lonnie Shafer, Jim Felton, Keith Rawson, and Mike Chu. They will all

be leaving to do their student teaching for the next nine weeks. We wish them the best possible luck in the weeks to come. The dormitory was probably quieter than it has ever been over the last three-day week-end. Even with the high school Interscholastic Contest on Friday, the week-end seemed awfully lonesome. The high school students who wandered in to look around even seemed to notice the unique lack of activity. I want to mention, however, that even with the few people in the dormitory, the laundry room was quite filled whenever I wanted to use it. I have heard the same complaint from others in the dormitory, and have noted with something less than enthusiasm that some of the people using those facilities are from outside the dorm. 'This month's game to keep occupied while you climb th e stairs is called, "follow the mattress." One poor mattress started on the thilld: floor landing of the south stairs, and in the space of only two weeks slowly made its way, level by level, to the basement landing. It now lies there in satisfied silence. Nominated for the weirdest comparison of the semester, is one heard somewhere in the dormitory after the recent showing of "The Fall of The House of Usher" by the S.G.A. Even I must admit that occasionally Delzell does look like the ill-fated House of Usher. It's especially noticeable in one of those early morning mists.

Gomon And Melvin Attend Conference

ELIZA MORGAN HALL By Barbara Gordon It is quite evident in Morgan Hall that a fearful outbreak of "ninth-week plague" is occurring and is claiming new victims every second. Walking through the halls one can hear agonized cries of "Quiet hours!," "Why did I leave this paper 'til the 1as t minute?" and "But that notebook can't be due tomorrow!" But the real suffering begins after closing hours. Then the clacking of countless typewriters drowns out the moans and groans of the hapless victims. The only cure for this disease is prevention-does anyone ever keep up his readings and notebooks or do 'his term papers ahead of schedule? Delzell isn't the only dorm that has trouble with the laundry room. The residents of Morgan Hall are more careless than malicious, however. Sometimes we get a little carried away w i t h those "high suds" detergents and a sea of bubbles comes frothing through the rec room. (At least it ·covers up those empty pop bottles that are just too heavy to carry over to the cases by the coolers!) The dryers leadi a hazardous existence too. Some girl, driven to madness after waiting hours for a dryer, recklessly tossed two or three loads of wash in one dryer. Fortunately, someone redistributed the load and saved the dryer from total collapse.

Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler Retiring (Continued from page one)

ALFRED G. WHEELER his garden and flowers in his lapel and that he is always "under the bench" unless he has a twenty point lead.. The 1943 Peruvian tells about Mr. Wheeler's teaching physical education to the cadets during the war and states that he once wanted to be a doctor and won a Rhodes scholarship. It further adds that he likes pie, traveling, bridge and "workin' with the boys" and that when his ship comes in, he and Mrs. Wheeler are going to South America. The 1946 yearbook states that girls just don't rate with him except when they cheer for his team and credits his athletic victories to his magic handshake and the loving pat he bestows on each of his players before the game. It also states that he gives "a word" at pep rallies, but reportedly makes his best speeches between the halves. The 1947 yearbook calls him a bridge player par excellence and states that even at home Mr. Wheeler never gets very far away from the Oak Bowl.

The 1950 Peruvian states that Mr. Wheeler's first love is baseball, with golf and tennis next in order and also says that his greatest pastime is playing the game of "zitts." Mr. Wheeler was graduated in 1922 from Oberlin College in Ohio, where he starred in football, basketball and baseball with T. N. Metcalf's great team of that era. He quarterbacked the Oberlin team to a 7-6 victory over Ohio State in 1921 and during his three years of playing, Oberlin won 23 football games while losing only three. He was named All-Ohio quarterback in his junior and senior years. He captained the basketball team for two years and was named to the All-Ohio team in his senior year, as a forward. Following his graduation, he played a year of professional basketball with the Cleveland Rosenblooms. He received his masters degree in physical education from Columbia University in 1937. His first coaching position was at Manual Arts High School in Los Angeles, California. During his two years at Manual Arts, his teams won one city championship in football and placed second in basketball. From 1925-27, Mr. Wheeler was freshman coach of football at Iowa State College in Ames, Iowa. From Iowa State, he moved to Amherst College in Massachusetts, where as freshman football coach, his team's record was marred by only one defeat and one tie. Mr. Wheeler was head coach of football at Amherst for the next

football record! of Peru State during the last 23 seasons. Although Al compiled a tremendous record as a winning coach, his greatest contribution has been in the development of hundreds of young m€n as outstanding teachers and citizens." Mr. Wheeler, dean of Nebraska College Conference foot b a 11 coaches, posted a most enviable gridiron record in his 23 year reign at Peru. His teams won 133 games, lost 51 and tied 12 for a .723 percentage. During this period he led the Bobcats to five conference championships and to two co-championships. The championship years were in 1939, 1940, 1942, 1952 and 1953. The co-championships occurred in 1942 and 1951. The 1942 season saw the Wheeler team tie forthe conference ,championship and win the state crown. One of Mr. Wheeler's most memorable deeds in football coaching came between mid-season in 1951 and a similar time in 1954. This three year period saw Mr. Wheeler coach the Bobcats to a winning string of 26 straight games without a defeat. During this streak of success, Mr. Wheeler was named "Coach of the Year in Nebraska" by the Omaha WorldHerald in 1952, and the same year was selected the "Little AllAmerican Coach of the Year" by the Rockne Foundation Club of Kansas City. Although best known for his football teams, the Bobcat coach has won coaching laurels in other areas. In basketball, his teams have won three conference championships and participated in five N.A.I.A. National Tournaments. The 1939-40 Wheeler coached ,cagers reached the semi-finals. His over-all record in basketball for eight years was 95 wins and 65 losses. In track, Mr. Wheeler ,coached the thinclads to two conference championships in an eight year span.

They celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary in 1963. Their only child, Al, Jr., is a student at Grinnell College in Iowa. Mr. Wheeler has served as a scout for the Baltimore Colts of the professional football league for the past 15 seasons and he has also scouted for the Cleveland Indians of the American League of professional baseball. His plans for the future include some scouting for Cleveland, along with doing some traveling in future years. He hopes that Mrs. Wheeler and he can now make that trip to South America he talked about way back in 1943. The Wheelers plan to move to North Carolina, where Mrs. Wheeler originally lived. As much a part of Peru as he is a living part of the gymnasium, Mr. Wheeler has been a traditional figure in our college picture. A friend to every one of his flock of athletes, he has been the kingpin in all our "Bobcats" lives.

Track Meet Off The 1965 Peru State College high school invitational track meet scheduled for April 2-3 was cancelled, according to Dr. Ervin Pitts, Peru State Athletic Director. The event which drew athletes from four states and 51 high schools last year was scheduled for Class B and C school competition on Friday and Class A schools running on Saturday. The continued late season snow and cold weather have kept participants as well as track and field facilities from getting ready for the early season competition.

Ped And Peruvian Have Long History

Fine Arts Head And Guidance Counselor To Begin Duties

BY DOROTHY BOCK A recent questionnaire from the journalism history class of the University of Nebraska School of Journalism prompted some research into the history of the Ped and Peruvian. During the course of the research, some interesting facts came to light. The first journalistic efforts on the Peru campus consisted of a monthly magazine started at the request of the students in 1892. The editor was T. S. Van Fleet of Peru. Mr. Van Fleet later went on to teach in Fort Lewis, Colorado, and Condon, Oregon. The Normal Courier lasted until 1896. In 1898, the faculty started publishing the State Normal School Messenger. which was continued until March, 1900. The predecessor of the Ped began as the Normalite in 1902. At that time it was a monthly magazine; it was later changed to a weekly or bi-weekly. The date could not be found, however, because the files are not complete. There were variations on the name of the paper, and it was later changed to the Pedagogian. Yearbook history at Peru began in 1902 with the Goldenrod, The editor was C. W. Buckley of Bradshaw; he later went to York as president of a business college. The yearbook for 1906-07 is named the Oak Leaf. In 1908, the (Continued on page two)

Peru Students Featured On Channel 10 T.V. "From the Campus," a series of informative television showsconcerning Nebraska colleges, featured Peru State College on Channel 10 on Sunday, April 4. Representing Peru State College were the science, music, and speech departments. Lonn Pressnall narrated the show, Joe Ward: explained a scientific experiment and reviewed the science d<epartment of Peru. Myrene Hildebrand gave an oral interpretation by Carl Sandburg and the men's octet sang "Camelot," "Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor," and "Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair!' The trumpet trio played "Trumpet's Wild" and "Bugler's Holiday." The students performed before a live audience of approximately two hundred people because it was the studio's open house. There is no doubt that the show was beneficial to the college because it was on a statewide network. And, as Myrene Hildebrand explained the broadcast, "It was an excellent means of publicizing Peru State, and it was a great opportunity to the students of Peru to show the world that we are here."

DELZELL HALL By Bill Bowen There is now available a scholarship from Delzell Hall. 0 n e hundred dollars is available to a qualified Delzell resident toward continuing his residence in the dormitory. The qualifications include at least two semester residence in the dormitory before application and a minimum grade point average of 5.00. The final recipient of the scholarship will be chosen by the Peru Achievement Foundation. Application blanks are available from the Dean of Students. Delzell's new custodian is really making the old hall shine. He has martialed his forces in the dormitory and made everything shine. More than one resident has commented on the newly found spotlessness in the building. On any evening recently it was kind of fun to wander around the halls late at night and listen to the frantic typing. When both Mr. Domina and! Mr. Summers had term papers due sometime near each other, the typing got so loud it was hard to sleep. I wonder why everyone waits until the last minute to do all his h a r d work? When you have nothing better to do try looking out the windows on the north side of the dormitory. Sometimes extremely late at night the local police force can be found lying in wait f o r speeding cars to come flying off the nearby hill. A word to the wise, don't get caught. It's very expensive to go to court in Peru.

ELIZA MORGAN HALL By Barbara Gordon Morgan Hall is in a curious state-let down from exams mixed with anticipation for Easter vacation. Most of the girls are going home, to friend's homes, or on vacations. Jan Beemer left April 10 for a week in Colorado as a sponsor for a skiing trip from Arbor Heights Jr. High, where she did her student teaching. Dianne Morrison, Mary Mow-

ry, Connie I:i:oschar, Sally Kelly, Judy Harbison, and Joanie Spriech are planning to spend the Easter holiday in Colorado. There was a real hootenanny out on the po:vch steps April 7. Most people enjoyed it, even those who had to st rug g 1 e through the crowd to. get inside the dorm. I think many of them just gave up and joined in the singing. Three girls participated in beauty pageants. Marilyn Masters is the first runner up in the Miss Nebraska City contest. Judy Elsinger and Barbara Lasko were in the Miss Auburn pageant. Judy is second runner up. Bertha Terwilliger, Linda Elliott, Ceci Evangelist, and Betty Andrews have turned plumber. They succeeded in rescuing Tracy Hester's contact lens from the lavatory drain while Tracy watched-with one eye. I believe spring has finally come-I just observed the first invasion of ants last week. Now we can hear the patter of many little feet-roaches and ants-on the floors, walls, ceilings . . . Birthdays this month: Carolyn Mercer, the 12th; Dorothy Bock, the 15th; Myra Murren, the 20th; Mary Sautter, the 26th; and mine was the 11th. Yes, there is an engagement! Betty Schilling was engaged to Bob Peck April 10. They plan an August wedding. Mrs. Beckley has been ill with a throat infection, but will probably return before Easter vacation. She is in Lincoln now; Mrs. Longfellow is taking her place.

tefinis teani fiefeat Tarkio in a match held in Peru last week. Lee defeated his opponent in the singles competition. On April 10, Peru played host to Maryville. Lee lost his singles makh 6-0 and 6-2. Maryville went on to win the meet 7-0. Mark Wendt and John Gorges helped Peru's golf team to win their first match of the season. Peru played Doane College on the Pioneer Course at Lincoln and! defeated them 12-3. Mark won his match 3-0 and John won his match 2-1. The track team recently took part in the Kearney Relays. Charles Niemeyer placed fourth in the pole vault. Jim Watson ran on several relays which placed second. John Soby has a new roommate. Bill McVicker moved in with John over the week-end. Dan Leuenberger and Rod Kettelhut were among the students who went to Omaha on Tuesday, April 13, with Mr. Whiteman's meteorology dass. Spring is surely here. Evidence of this can be found in the dorm almost every night. After spending some of their time in Auburn a few of the students became very loud and had: to be called down. It will no doubt get worse before it gets better.

The Peru thinclads have begun showing their potential outdoors as they previously did during the indoor meets. Although the weather remains a threatening problem, the Bobcats defeated Maryville and Tarkio by a sufficient margin. Kearney proved to be a powerhouse for the Bobcats April 10.

Coach Mcintire commented that the running events from th e fourth-mile on are stronger than the field events this season.

Peru State's baseball squad split its conference opening double header with Wayne State on April 12 on the Peru field. In the opening game, a flurry of base hits produced a final score of 8-7, with Wayne State on the top end. Leading the Bobcat hitting were Gary Young, who smashed a solo home run, John Chasse, who crashed a two run triple in Peru's big fifth inning, and Steve Pattison, who smashed two hits. Frank Spizuoco was the victim of some bad· luck in losing the ball game. Spizuoco struck out 10 and gave up 11 hits. Bock got three hits for Wayne. In the second game, Ray Cain pitched five hit baseball as Peru pulled out an 8-3 victory. Bruce McCoy led the way with two doubles and a single, driving in two runs and scoring two. Al Sullivan also drove home two runs for Peru. Bock and Bernstein hit home runs for Wayne early in the game and thereafter the Wildcats were silenced by Cain's pitching.

English Instructor Becomes Student

Student Wives

Chancellor John W. Schwada of the University of Missouri has announced appointments to the faculty and staff. Included is the appointment of Mr. Lyle D. Domina, English instructor at Peru Staie College. Directly following the spring term of the 1964-65 school year, Mr. Domina will leave his position at Peru and become a student during the summer session, which begins June 14, at the University of Missouri. In the fall he plans to teach a full teaching load, consisting of twelve hours, and carry six hours at the same time, working toward the Ph.D. in English. According to Mr. Domina, being a student and a teacher simultaneously has become quite a standard procedure in colleges and universities across the country.

The Student Wives club held a special meeting on April 7. The meeting was held in order that coffee cans could be decorated and then filled with cookies for Easter. Approximately 20 cans were filled, enough for several wards at the State Home. The number of stuffed toys for the children of the State Home at Beatrice has now counted almost 40. We are certainly glad that so many student wives contributed their time and energy to make it able for us to send these toys and cookies to the State Home in Beatrice. Later on in the meeting, fUrther plans were made for a spring picnic for the wives and their families. A possible date has been set for sometime early in May. After a short business meeting the stud~:mt wives then got busy packing the coffee cans. Refreshments were then served.

R. T. .Benford, associated with Peru State College's fine arts division since 1926, the longest of any professor here, will retire at the close of the 1965 summer session. The piano and organ teacher and his wife, Jennie, were honored at a recognition dinner sponsored by the division of fine arts, Saturday, April 24. Except for four years since joining the Peru State faculty, Mr. Benford has been a part of the college's music department. He began his teaching career at Central Michigan University, Mt. Pleasant, where he taught piano, organ, theory, and was director of band and choral music. Through his years at Peru State, Mr. Benford has served at various times in these same capacities, plus supervising elementary and secondary vocal music in the Campus School his first 18 years, and as acting head of the division of Fine Arts for three years. In addition, he has served on numerous college committees. During his three years at Central Michigan, Mr. Benford's first work as an arranger and composer was published. His music was used in "Dance of Our Pioneers " authored by Grace Ryan, whi;h is still a popular test for folk, square and tap dancing. This first effort has been followed by published and unpublished works for piano and choral groups. Vocal arrangements include: "Where is John," "Three Blind Mice," and "Rackety Coo." "Raindrops" and "Doodling" have just been added to his repertoire of original piano solo selections published by Pro Art Publications, Inc. Already popular with piano students and teachers are "Explorer 88," "Flying Saucer," "Teddy Bear Waltz," "Swarm of Bees," "Pinwheels,'' "Mischievious P i x i e , " and "Marching Pixie." An unpublished ,cantata, "The Easter Carol," was presented under his direction in 1954 by the choir of the Peru Methodist church. The choir of First Methodist Church of Greeley, Colorado presented the work again in 1960. Other unpublished numbers have been used in recitals by Mr. Benford's students. (Continued on page four)

PRESSURE ON STUDENTS IS INCREASING By Mert Finke

The pressures start early for today's youth and keep building. To get into- one of the top colleges, it helps to go to a good high school or prep school. A report on high school students in New Jersey contained these damning words: "There was an almost unanimous evaluation of each child who was capable of doing better." Under such pressure, the young student finds he has little time for fun, for reading a book because he wants to, for talking to friends, or just loafing-and maybe, in the process, finding himself. Where high school students were once assigned 10 math problems for homework, they now have to do 20 or 30. The problems are no more challenging or interesting, just more numerous. For first-year students at the top colleges, the workload is overwhelming. They are asked to do more than it is physically possible to do. The official rationalization is that in this way the students learn to study, to organize their time and become efficient people. Today's explosive growth in the sheer quantity of knowledge puts educators under pressure to cover more and more academic ground in the same length of time. Two out of every ten American students need psychiatric help during those four bright college years. About half of them get it. Colleges with mental health facilities find the psychiatrists are getting busier and busier. At M.I.T., psychiatrists saw 793 patients last year, 257 more than in 1964-a 48% jump. Today's youths operate under a fantastically high pressure; it's a group with a builtin potential for breakdown, whether they're in college or not. Parents have to think first of what their children can do and want, rather than what the parents believe to be best for them. A prestige college is not right for every high school graduate, and if a student wants to drop out of school for a year to sort out his life, why shouldn't he be able to without feeling guilty?

By John Barfon Most of the residents seemed to have survived the Easter vacation in fine style. Don Stuart spent his vacation in Loveland, Colo., visiting relatives and skiing. Ron Peterson spent some of his vacation in Michigan. Mark Flemming was somewhat more of an enterprising nature. He hitch-hiked to his home in Massachusetts. At the recent elections, held by the PSEA, Tim Gilligan was elected vice-president for the coming year. Ron Peterson was elected as the treasurer. Harry Leth recently spent some time in the Auburn hospital. Harry had a small blood dot in one of his arms. It seems as though some of the residents of Majors can not wait for the sun to shine in order to get a sun tan. Lyle Stewart, Allen Scott, and Marv Corbin have a slight case of sunburn from lying under a sun lamp too long. During Easter vacation someone vandalizedl the Majors Hall mail room.

Ted Benford Will Retire This Year (Continued from page one) At various times in his career, Mr. Benford was organist for the Woodward Avenue Baptist church, Detroit, assistani"organist and choral director at Pueblo, (Colo.), First Presbyterian church. He is now regular organist at the Peru Methodist church. A member of the American Guild of Organists, the Music Teachers National Association, the Nebraska Music Teachers Association, and the Music Educators National Conference, Mr. Benford was honored in 1962 by the National Association for Am· erican Composers and Conductors when he was presented a life membership as "an expression of the esteem in which we hold: you and your work and the gratitude for your loyal support." During his four-year absence from Peru State, he completed graduate work toward the Master of Music degree at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He served one year as choral director of Central High School, Pueblo, Colo., and taught piano and organ at Pueblo Conservatory of Music. The year preceding his return to Peru State in 1948, he was choral director at Iowa Wesleyan University, Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. Mr. and Mrs. Benford are the parents of two married daughters, Kathlyn, Mrs. Harold Reed, 1822 Mayfield Avenue, Omaha, and Patricia, Mrs. Mark Bornemeier, 2636 Thirteenth Avenue, Greeley, Colorado.

The 1956 edition of the Peruvian was dedicated to Mr. Benford. A part of the dedication summar-

DELZELL HALL By Bill

Bowen The dormitory was shined to its brightest for the open house, Sunday, April 25. The visitors seemed to enjoy their tours of the building. More than oneroom was cleaned beautifully because parents were expected. It w as very obvious that most of the parents showed up. Most of the parents were dying· to meet the sons' friends and their sons were just as anxious· not to have them meet. Throughout the dormitory and across the campus it was like ships passing in the night. One might think that dorm residents knew no one but their roommates. One complaint that the visitors held was almost universal. An awful lot of people had difficulty locating Delzell Hall. The only sign identifying the dormitory is located directly in front of the main entrance. This entrance, however, is well hidden from the street as well as from the rest of the campus. It would seem logical that an identifying sign be placed near the street entrance and the walk that leads to the main entrance. The signs that identify the various campus buildings are attractive, and serve a very useful purpose. However, unless they are placed where visitors unfamiliar with the campus can easily see them, the whole point is lost. When this column is printed Delzell will have had its Spring Supper. The Spring Supper will have been held! in the T.V. Lounge Sunday night, May 2. Delzell has a new mascot as of last week. A poor underfed little puppy has taken charge of the third floor, and is about to expand to the rest of the dorm. No matter where anyone that dog knows is, he will follow them back to the dormitory and beg for food. The little dog is so skinny and has such a hungry howl that he can be awfully hard to ignore. This little puppy joins the big collie and the phantom parakeet in wandering around the dormitory. izes his great contribution to Peru State: "his love of music and the talent he so freely shares will long be remembered."

Bobcats Split Doubleheader Peru's chances for a clear cut shot at the Nebraska College Conference baseball title were virtually eliminated as the Bobcats split a double header on the Kearney diamond. A fine effort by the Peru pitching staff w a s nullified by the paltry hitting of the Peru batters. In the first game, Frank Spizuoco and Larry Fangmeyer combined on a fo u r hitter as Peru won, 3-2. B o th Kearney runs were unearned, scoring on Peru's only error of the game. John Chasse had two hits for Peru. In the second game, Kearney won, 1-0, in eight innings, as Pe-

ru handed them the game. Ray Cain and Larry Fangmeyer had combined on a three hitter in the losing cause. Fangmeyer pitched three innings of hitless ball, but lost the game as the result of a wild pitch and two errors, following a base on balls to a Kearney hitter in the eighth inning. Peru's meek hitters could manage only one hit, a long double by Gary Young in the last inning.

A statistical report recently issuedl by the Nebraska State Department of Education may provide food for thought as you prepare to teach. All indications point to the fact that the teacher supply is catching up with the demand in many areas. A shortage of teachers continues to prevail in the subject areas of English, foreign languages, mathematics, library, music and general science. There seems to be a moderate oversupply of biology and· commerce teachers· There is an oversupply of men's physical education and social studies teachers, now. In actual teaching positions available in the schools in Nebraska,· there are approximately ten elementary school positions to seven secondary school positions. But the supply of teachers in 1965 is estimated to be S€ven elementary school teachers to ten secondary school teachers. The shortag·e of elementary teachers is still a serious problem in Nebraska. Underclassmen may wish to change their program so that they will be prepared to teach in the fields on levels where the teachers are in short supply. The three young men who graduate this year with a degree in elementary education will start at an average salary of $5300.00, which is higher than those with a degree in secondary education· '.Dhe future is extremely bright for men in the area of elementary education or administration. If there are those students who contemplate a change of program, please discuss this with your counselor before the end of the present term.

SPORTS ROUNDUP By Dick Berthold The Peru Bobcats nicked Concordia May 11 to win the final home game 2-0. Spizuoco connected for a late inning homer with one man on to bring in the winning score. The pitching was good for both teams throughout the contest. Peru was allowed only five hits; Spizuoco slammed for one, Venditte two, Sullivan one, and Cobb one. Spizuoco ·allowed only six hits, w h i ch showed both teams were evenly matched. Peru disiplayed their finest defensive game of the season against Concordia, and the fielding looked tremendous. Yates and Sullivan displayed a good job at catching. Cox, MoCoy, Spizuoco, and Floerchinger played their final home game against the Concordia team. The contest a 1so marked the final home game for Coa<:h Al Wheeler. Earlier in the season Coa<:h Wheeler remarked, "If the pitching comes through, we can expect a good season." The Bobcats' pitching did improve and Coach Wheeler wound up with a fine record for his final season at Peru State. Coach Mdntire was w e 11 pleased with the Peru thinclads this season. With the new records captured this year, the Bobcats displayed excellent conditioning and team spirit throughout the season. At the WaynePeru meet, Hagemeier ran an excellent 220 in 22.3 seconds. Fritz took the mile in 4:26 while Crook nabbed the 440 in 51.3 seconds· Brye, Seward, Hagemeier, and Crook clipped the 440 relay in a record 42.8 while knocking off four-tenths of a second. Witty heaved the discus for 144 feet for one of his top performances. Coach Mcintire released th e following lettermen for the 1965 track season. The lettermen include: Holliman, Seward, Hagemeier, Brye, Crook, Neujahr, Estes, Noell, Bolin, J. Rinne, Fritz, Watson, Hendricks, Zaparanick, Witty, Windhorst, Vickory, L. Brown, McCrea, Arellano, Curtis, and Niemeyer. Because of the Pedagogian deadline for this issue, the cond'erence statistics are not available. The next issue will provide a complete roundup of the conference games in track, golf, and tennis. The baseball team .wrapped up their final game with Maryville Wednesday, May 12.

Peru Splits With Simpson

In the first game, Don Lehmann gave up only three hits and struck out eight, as Peru won 121. Pat Vendi tte smashed a three run homer for Peru and Jim Manning late added a two run ,homer to the cause.

In the first game, the luckless Bobcats were once again the victims of poor hitting, as Chadron triumphed, 1-0. The Bobcats could coJ!le<:t only two hits off Chadron's pitching, both by George Evangelist. Frank Spizuoco threw a fine five hit ball game, but three of these came in succession in the fourth inning and produced the lone Eagle run.

In the second game, Dale Borman fired a three hitter, striking out nine, as Peru won, 13-0. Gary Young hit a two run homer for the Bobcats and Bruce McCoy drove in three runs for Peru with two hits. The 'Bobcats collected 17 hits in the two games in preparing for their conference closing douJble header with. Chadron, to 'be played at Broken Bow.

Concordia Bows To Peru Peru State College rolled to an easy victory, Thursday, April 30, as they defeated Concordia College, 104-40 in a dual meet at Seward.

Hagemeier rolled to an easy vktory in the 100 and 220 yard dashes, and assisted in the 440 yard relay victory. Crook loped to a victory in the 440 yard dash and intermediate hurdles, and also ran with the 440 yard relay team.

Results440 yard relay placed first with a 42.8 clocking. The 880 yard run was won by Fritz in 2:00.2. Tim Hendericks won the mile with a 4:37.3 effort.

Peru also placed firnt in the mile relay.

PARDE

It appeared that Chadron was as good a club as Peru has faced all season, and the Eagles have an excellent chance of winning the conferen<:e crown. Peru finished their conference season with a record of four wins and four 1osses, losing the four games by a total of five runs.

islature 's Closing Of Campus School s Strong Effect On Town And College BY DICK BERTHOLD e Nebraska Legislature's den ·to close the Peru State pus School ignited numeremotional flares and serious ghts throughout the school ict. The Legislature firmly d that on June 30, 1968, PeState College and the Campus ool must separate, leaving apximately 300 youngsters to an education elsewhere. e decision was esteemed a plete surprise by most alugh some officials suspected change through different thods.

The binial income from elementary ~~Sfnd high school contracts account r $188,630 which constitutes a ajority of the present operating st. By continuously exchanging nancial figures, several differces could be accountable. Is e campus school closing stimu>e ted by a new trend? Dr. Gomon nswered, "A number of colleges ave eliminated their campus hools; however, more than half the teacher training instituons still accommodate them." What are the two main prob- -•.~ems facing the college officials ecause of the decision? Dr. Goon explained that the college ust find new and substantial rd laces for observation and experimentation. Another difference is >urn that the ·college must hire four supervisors. Fourteen of the high school's 21 teachers also hold classes at college level. "The campus laboratory school is a significant part of Peru State College," stated Dr. Gomon. "It serves as the heart of the teacher education program, which is, of course, the principal objective of the college. It is difficult to envision an adequate teacher-training program without laboratory school experiences. It is true that some teacher-training schools use the facilities of local school districts for this purpose, but such colleges are fortunate to be in communities of a size capable of maintaining a superior school system." · Dr. Gomon continued, "In the absence of a quality school, it would be necessary for the college to make arrangements with other schools in the area for observation, etc., probably at a fee, in addition to arranging for transportation of students and supervisors to such sites." What effect did the Legislative decision have on the campus and school board officials? One unfortunate thing is that many present teachers and administrators must seek new employment. Mr. Doxon, campus school principal, stated, "The majority of (Continued on page four)

Student Leaders Are Recognized At Honors Convo BY MARY TACKETT The end of the school year has come. In the midst of the rush the whole school pauses to recognize its deserving students. Honors convo opened Wednesday, May 19 with "The Star Spangled Banner" and the "Pledge of Allegiance" led by Dr. Gomon. Dr. Harold Boraas presented the first series of awards to outstanding students.

Lonn Pressnall was given the Dramatic Club award for the senior who has made outstanding contributions to drama activities. The Neal S. Gomon award for outstanding contribution to the Pedagogian, the student newspaper, went to Dorothy Bock. Sheryl Gawart received the Pearl A.

The Louise Mears Geography Award, provided by the sale of "Hills of Peru," went to Walter Rimmer. (Continued on page three)

Knudsen Presents Original Play BY BILL BOWEN An original one act play by Peru State undergraduate Dan Knudsen was presented in the college auditorium Friday night, May 21. Requiem On The Horn Of The Moon, an analytic look at the futility of civilization was produced and directed by Knudsen, who also played one of the major roles. Other actors were Barbara Gordon, Phil Dorssom, and John Webster. The play begins on a rather indefinite note, but develops clar· ity as it moves forward. The introduction, as written by the author, is far too involved for the average audience. It sounds more like a philosophical outline than like the outline of a play. A simpler more direct introduction would have been desirable. The ·characterizations are dear, but the actors at times seemed as much in doubt about the symbolism as the audience. Even though the play is vague in places, it makes its point and has real value as an analysis of one person's interpretation of life. The one major fault lies in the flash type scene divisions, which lack the finesse that is needed in the presentation of a symbolic dramatization. (Continued on page two)

~~seball_ S~ason p1sa ppo1 nt1 ng [

BY BRUCE McCOY

A double loss to Maryville osed the curtain on a disapointing season for the Peru Bobats' baseball squad, leaving the eason record at eleven wins and ight losses. I Peru's shabby playing at µaryville exemplified the season !or the Bobcats. The potentially ~owerful Bobcats could not musler the dutch base hit or come hp with the fine defensive play hen they needed them the most. eru ended its conference season ith four wins and four losses, losing the four games by a total only five runs. [ After splitting with St. Beneaicts in the season opener, Peru ~plit conference double headers ith Wayne and Kearney, with win victories over Maryville andwiched in between. Followng the split at Kearney, Peru plit with Hastings, via errors nd bases on balls, and then the obcats drubbed the hapless arkio team in a double header. Next came a split at Chadron, · ollowed by another split with Simpson College at home. Peru ·then downed Concordia and ended its season with the double loss Maryville.

. f

Frank Spizuoco and Ray Cain led the Peru pitching staff throughout the season, as the fine pitchers posted an earned run average well under two per game. Spizuoco fired a brilliant no-hitter against Hastings, and also shut out Concordia. C a in twirled a one-hitter at Chadron, in pacing that victory. Leading the Bobcat hitters throughout the season we r e Bruce McCoy, Gary Young, and Don Cobb. McCoy was the only regular to hit over .300, finishing with a .327 mark. He also led the team in hits with 17, and in runs batted in, with 18. Young finished the season with a .280 mark, hitting three home runs and driving across 15 runs. Cobb posted a .2S3 batting mark, and also stole 16 bases and scored 16 runs.

Thanks From Staff The Pedagogian staff extends thanks to all those who ha v e helped us in publishing the paper this year. Help came from many sources, so we can't mention all of you, but we do appreciate your efforts. Special thanks, however, do go to Dr. C. V. Siegner, Mr. J. D. Levitt, Mr. Don Carlile, and Mr. Leland Sherwood. Dr. Siegner has given our photographers much good advice and direction. Mr. Levitt has also given us a hand with photography. Because we weren't able to send reporters to all out-of-town events, we sometimes have had to depend upon the special services releases of Mr. Carlile and Mr. Sherwood as our only source of information. These boosts have helped us to put out a better paper. Again, our thanks go to all who have given even a little of their time and energy for the Ped.
