NCC Disbands

Dr. Neal S. Gomon, president of Peru State College, regretfully announced last January that the four state colleges were submitting a request to the Normal Board which asked that the Nebraska College Conference be abandoned. The conference had been in existence for 24 years.

In submitting the request on behalf of the presidents of all four colleges, Dr. Gomon stated, "Every effort has been made to continue the conference but with the withdrawal of the last of the private or cJrnrch-related schools (Hasting:s <;:ollege) .Perpetuation of a four-team conference is mdefens1ble."

One of the reasons given for the abandonment of the NCC is the fact that the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics does not recognize any conference of less than five members for NAIA District and national playoffs.

Peru State Free From Unrest; Peruvians Express Their Views

Letters have been coming into the office of the Peru Stater for some time now expressing concern over the campus unrest that has affected many colleges across the country. To this date, Peru State College has experienced no demonstrations, and all of the messages received on the subject stress the hope that Peru State will not be plundered by "campus radicals."

In a recent artical published in the Kansas State Collegian, Emeritus Professor of Chemistry at that school, Stella Harriss, '08, discusses the problem at some length in an open letter. We quote:

"To be sure, our schools are not perfect. One could give a number of reasons why they have faults. A fundamental one is that teachers and students are persons and everyone knows that no human being has ever attained perfection PLEASE REMEMBER that one way of judging an individual or an institution is to evaluate what he or it has done to widen the gap between man and animals; to relieve the race of some of the drudgery and anxiety involved in providing physical necessities; and developing a society in which his social, mental, and spiritual possibilities may expand _.

Out of the past has come the expression, 'Nature abhors a vacuum.' When a vacuum is produced it is going to suck something into it, and it may be man's most precious possession. The terror of a tornado is its vacumm.

THAT MIGHT NOT be too bad if only you got sucked into it but tomorrow's doctors, lawyers, ministers, teachers, astronauts, financers, poets, musicians and countless others, who would move society forward by building on the past, would be pulled in with you •.. No one has reported any plan you propose to cure the ills of today's institutions. You seem content to just create a vacuurn ..• Just what have you planned to take the place of the things you have set out to destroy?"

And from Miss Norma L. Diddel, Denver, former faculty, 1929-1966, come the following comments:

"From my many years on seven college campuses, I think some changes are suitable but no college needs messes st.udents seem to create. Ml old-fashioned theory is that when t like college courses, college regulations, admmistration and faculty, they should withdraw or. investigate before they register. None are required to attend any college, public or private. Also, why should eighty students have the right to disrupt things for 18,000_ as at one University!"

The overwhelming concensus received in our office is that, while there admittedly may be need for some change at the college level, no one can understand why some students feel that they have the right to oisrupt the educational process to secure that change. It should be pointed out that while campus unrest has been given a plethora of unfavorable publicity in the news media, the great majority of students across America are interested in gettmg an education without feeling the need to riot, to protest, to upset the "establishment."

We like to feel that the reason why Peru State has not been touched by this recent rage of campus anarchy is the fact that students who enroll here are interested in an education, and are willing to abide by the decisions of the administration and faculty.

l ennie Bridenbaugh, '02, is retired and living at 253 Plymouth drive, Pasadena, Calif. She taught Nebraska elementary school 5 years and was a Methodist missionary to China.

Sports Round-up

Cagers Second in NCC

(continued from page 5)

324 points and 259 rebounds in the 1968-69 season. The remainder of the team, however will have experience to offset the loss of Heine. The experienced players, along with new prospects should give the Bobcats the balance and depth to perform commendably in the 1969-70 season.

Golf and Showings Track Make Good in Spring Sports

Peru State's track and golf teams have highlighted the spring scene through April. The thinclads, coached by Jack Mcintire, won a triangular meet, placed second behind Kearney in the Kearney State Indoor Invitational, and participated in the Kansas State Relay on the indoor circuit.

Peru's golfers, coached by Erv Pitts,, won two of three dual meets, tied one, and won their own triangular meet.

Peru State's baseball team, coached by Joe Pelisek, started strong, but weakened as the season progressed. Brilliant individual play highlighted the tennis season, but the team has won only one meet in three outings.

The trackmen won over Nebraska Wesleyan, lost to Doane College, and perforrril:!d commendably at the Arkansas Mioland Relays and the Kearney State Relays, winning seven events. They broke six Peru records.Jack Weyers, Sterling, set new school records, running the indoor mile in 4: 17: 1, the outdoor three-mile run in 15:46:5, and the indoor twomile run in 9:14:0.

Mike Mulvaney, Independence, Iowa, raised Peru's shot-put distance to 59 ft., 4Yi inches. Calvin Smith, Pacific Junction, Iowa, lowered the indoor 600-yard run time to 1:15:6, while the outdoor distance medley relay team of William Ward, Omaha, Jay Hagerman, Humboldt, Van Allen, Nemaha, and Jack Weyers ran a new time of 10:24:9.

At press time the baseball team record stands at six wins and five losses overall with a conference standing of only one win in four games. The team defeated Western Missouri in a single contest, Simpson College and Doane College in doubleheaders, then lost twice to Concordia College. In conference play, the team split a doubleheader with Wayne State, then lost a doubleheader to Kearney State.

The only defeat the Peru State golfers suffered came in a triangular meet at Northwest Missouri where they placed third behind William Jewel and Northwest Missouri. They defeated Fairbury twice; tied Northwest Missouri one time; defeated Midwestern College and Pershing College at a Peru triangular me et.

In tennis, the team, coached by Darrell Wininger, has won over Pershing and lost to John F. Kennedy and Midwestern of Denison, Iowa.

Centennial Complex Design Receives Citation

The Lincoln architectual firm of Clark & EnersenOlsson, Burroughs & Thomsen, which designed Peru State's Centennial Complex, was cited for an honor award ol distinguished accomplishment for the project at the annual state convention of the American Institute of Architects last December The Peru project was described as being a "strong and sensitive statement showing sensitive use of materials: and .careful which demonstrates the totality of the design effort." The award was one of three given at the convention.

Bly;the will be ab!e to make her trip back to Nebraska this summer at which time we'll keep our promise to provide an auto tour around campus so that she can see "the old place."

The College has received a copy of a Memorial for Dr. Nels A. Bengston, '02, reprinted from the Annals of the Association of American Geographers, September, 1968. Written by former associate William Van Royen, United States Army Research Office, Durham, N.C., the account begins with a report of a field trip with the late Dr. Bengston who was described as "a geographer who was an experiencedfield observer. The account covers his life from his coming to Nebraska with his parents from Sweden in 1881. He taught at Peru during the 1904-05 school year and then began his association with the University of Nebraska's geography department, which was to last until his retirement in 1953. Dr. Bengston was described as an "apostle" for geography in the central plains area, and he was the creator of the department of geography at the University of Nebraska.

Millicent M. Slaby, '01, writes of her appreciation in receiving copies of the Peru Stater. She is reminded of many happy memories connected with the college and feels that Peru gave her much more than simply an academic education.

Miss N. Maud Carpenter, a teacher of f ublic school music at Peru State from 1913 unti 1922 celebrated her lOOth birthday March 30. Miss Carpenter, who lives alone in her home at 222 Highland, Owatonna, Minn., still gives private lessons to 22 students. The Peru State alumni off ice first learned of Miss Carpenter's approaching birthday shortly after the first of the year when one of her former students, John H. Miller fs '19, notified us of the event. In his letter, Mr. Miller, a retired Pan American Airlines pilot, noted Miss Carpenter "was one of the hardest working faculty members and a wonderful person. I would be pleased if you would make sure our N. Maud could receive at least 100 birthday cards ,on her lOOth birthday." As a result of Mr. Miller's letter, a news release was sent out on the impending birthday the second week in March, and, while we have received no actual count on the number of birthday cards which greeted Miss Carpenter on March 30, we have evidence that many Peruvians sent greetings. The alumni office forwarded a number of greetings, including one from a group of Omaha school children.

She was more, much more than an executive. Mrs. Fisher thought of the people whom Northwest House served as her family and many of the people thought of her as a part of theirs. She would always take time to hug a child, counsel a teenager, or lielf> a family in need. She has been an part of the neighborhood because she put a premrnm on kindness and consideration and warmth and thoughtfulness.

Vincent Sahatinelli Dies

In Vietnam July 25

- Vincent F. Sabatinelli, '66, was reported missing in action in Vietnam July 25. Later reports confirmed his death. His bod)' was returned to Southbridge, Mass., for burial. He is believed to be the first· Peruvian to have been killed in the Vietnam conflict.

He enlisted in the Army in September, 1966, and was commissioned a second lieutenant in August, 1967, and later completed special forces officer training in December, 1967. His parents are Mr. and Mrs. Antonio Sabatinelli, 18 Benefit street, Southbridge Mass.

At Peru State College, Sabatinelli lettered three years in football and was elected May Fete King in I 965. In February, 1963., he was King of the Valentine formal. days on the campus of a Thousand Oaks and his contributions to Peru State College and to its athletic program should serve as incentive to those who are to follow. In addition are his contributions to his country for which he gave his life,"' writes Bob Henry, sports infonmation director at Peru State during Vinnie's rears at Peru. Now news bureau director at Maryvil e, Mo., Bob continues:

"'We had perhaps a rare opportunity to know Vince from the moment he stepped on the Peru State Campus until he was graduated in 1966 ••• He was a gentleman both to his elders, his peers and to our then threedaughter Ann who considered him her special friend.

°'We saw him on the football field, and we saw the despair he went through when he broke his leg and could not play one season. We saw him come back doctor's warnil!gs that a series of hea m3unes might prove fat al if he were to be injured again. He had courage and he was a Peruv·ianr despite the he came from far=off Massachusetts.' ·"

In the wmter of 1967-68 he came back to visit his alma mater. We talked· to him about the possibil= ities of going to Vietnam. He didn't complain; he felt it was a job that had to be done."

The Henrys have initiated a Vincent Sabatinelli Scholarship for deserving athletes in the Peru Achievement Foundation. Perhaps other Peruvians who knew Vince will feel a memorial of this kind is the way to remember him. As Bob notes, "'We think it would please him."

Friends of Vince have instituted a special trophy to be awarded to the outstanding player in the annual Thanksgiving game of Southbridge High school, hfs high school alma mater. The award will go to the player on either team who is judged the most valuable by a panel of newspaper and radio reporters and announcers.

a Real

Fine Homecoming

Homecoming 1969 at Peru State College was celebrated Satm:day between Friday's and Sunday's rain storms. Sandwiched between the inclement weather Peruvians from as far away as Florida, Montana, Pennsylvania, and California joined those from Nebraska and surrounding states at the 48th annual Homecoming of Nebraska's first college.

Miss Linda Knippelmeir, senior from Johnson, was presented as the 3 lst Homecoming queen at Peru "" State during halftime of the afternoon football game which was the only gloomy note for the day-49-6 loss to the Kearney State Antelopes.

Miss Knippelmeir, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Knippelmeir, is majoring in elementary education at Peru State. Her attendants were Kathy Buffum, Magnolia, Iowa; Coleen de Koning, Burchard; Pat Ryan, Dawson; Pamela Lee, 3125 Seventh avenue, Council Bluffs, Iowa; and Terry Heinke, Dunbar.

Homecoming activities got underway on Friday evening with reunions of the 40 - and 25-year classes of Peru State. The fourteen members of the 1929 class present Friday night were joined by two others at the Saturday all-alumni luncheon. The 1944 class, which had only 27 members, had four present for the Friday evening gathering. While the reunions were . in progress, present day Peruvians were enjoying a dance to the Forte and pepping it up at a pre-game rally.

Monty L. Allgood, administrative assistant for the Omaha Public Schools, was elected president of the Peru Alumni.Association during balloting for officers dur!ns the Homecoming.

Ott.er officers elected were Gary Schmucker, '65, Exel/er:, first vice-president; Jan Beemer DeMott, '65"' Bed.for<!, Iowa, second vice-president; Thomas

'6i, Platts,mouth, secretary; Nancy Carr D:tcKer:son, '62, Nebraska City, treasurer.

Saturday morning the students were busily engaged in placing their "Galaxies Unlimited" displays in place.

Sports

Cross Country Meets Success

The fleet-footed Peru State cross country team coached by Jack Mcintire, won the NAIA District ii meet and went on to place 20th in the National NAIA meet at Okiahoma City in November.

Speedy.} ack Weyersf from twice has Deen named A I-American, placed 14th in the nation.al meet and won first place in all but one of the other 10 meets the Bobcats entered.

The Bobcats won in meets at Peru against Kearney and Northwest Missouri State; at Kearney against Kearney, Wayne and Chadron; at Nebraska City against Tarkio College; at Centerville in the Iowa Invitational; at Maryville against Northwest Missouri State; and .at the District 11 meet at Omaha against Kearney and UN Omaha.

The team lost only at Brookings, S.D., to South Dakota State and Southern (S.D.) State; at Omaha to UN Omaha; and at Crete tO Doane College. With only one senior on the 1969 team, the Bobcats have the potential for another great year in 1970. ·

Grid Team in Losing Season

Although the Peru State football team suffered through its poorest season in recent history, all is not bleak. Head Coach Joe Pelisek will lose only six seniors from the 1969 roster and he will have a squad of sophomores who have been battle hardened along with veteran iuniors and seniors.

Berets how the football team fared - Tarkio 27, PSC O; Yank.ton 20, PSC O; Southern State 29, PSC O; Emporia State 76, PSC 6; Kearney State 49, PSC 6; Chadron State 40, PSC 7; Wayne State 55, PSC 6; 56, PSC 6; and Ferris State of Big Rapids, Mich., 51, PSC 6.

The consensus - dontt expect any miracles next year, but look for an improved team.

Track Records Fall in 1969

School records fell as the Peru State track team coached by Jack Mcintire made a commendable showing on the 1969 spring circ:uit. Peru State took a Nebraska Conference championship in the shot and set a new meet and school record in the three-mile event at the Howard Wood Relays.

The baseball team, coached by Joe Pelisek had a season record of 10 wins and 9 losses. Only three seniors were lost for the coming season so new Head Coach Tom Fitzgerald is looking for an even better season in 1970.

The tennis team coached by Darrell Wininger won two and lost four in the Nebraska College Conference with Peru State taking second places in the conference in doubles and singles.

The.golf team, coache!-1 by Dr. Pitts, .athletic director, won medalist honors m hve of eight meets.

Cage Season To Poor Start

The Bobcat basketball team got off to a poor start with four losses and no wins, but nearly managed a win against tough Tennessee State as the team bei:;an to use its potential.

A mISsed layup and failure to make good on a free throw by Peru State gave Tennessee State the game in the final seconds.

The season opened against Tarkio at the Peru State Gymnasium with Tarkio taking that one by a narrowmarginof74-71. Thenthe Bobcats went on the road losing to Northwest Missouri State 89-52; Southeast Missouri State 81-70, and Tennessee State 61-55. Although Head Coach Jack Mcintire was

disappointed in the early season play of his team he was optimistic after the Tennessee State when his first string came to life and fought Tennessee Sate on even terms.

A tough schedule remains for the Bobcats with seven games plus the Tarkio Holiday Tournament on the road, eight games at home and two dates open.

The remaining games: Dec. 9, at Midland; Dec. 12, Briar Cliff; Dec. 15, at Huron; Dec. 16, at Southern (S.D.) St_ate; 19, at Tarkio _Tournament; Jan. 10, Doane College; Jan. 13, Kearney State; Jan. 20, at Tarkio; Jan. 23, Wayne State; Jan. 24, Simpson; Jan. 28, at Kearney State; Jan. 31, Northwest Missouri; Feb. 6-7, Chadron State; Feb.

At the time of their reunion in May, the 1919 class contributed $240 to be added to the '"New Bulletin Board" fund established by recent classes. The gift assures completion of the project, which will replace the one rn front of the administration buildinf?. The plaqve from the present bulletin board, indicating it was a gift of the 1917 class, will be added to the new one.

Generosity of Peruvians to the fall reminder fund appeal has been most gratifying, comments John L. Lewis, Foundation president. During the month of November, Treasurer A. V. Larson issued 238 receipts, totaling $2,696.38, not including the gih of Mr. and Mrs. Choyce.

For the fall semester, the Foundation provided 48 scholarships totaling $3,620. T}ie Foundation continues to provide matching funds for the National Defense Student Loan program. With money provided by the Foundation since 1958 ($1 for every $9 from plus re"'."payment money available for lending,

total loans through the fall semester amount to $343,200.

The year 1970 will be a challenge. With inc:reased living costs, many Peruvians may find it difficult to contribute to the P AF. When your appeal letter arrives in 1970, we hope it will be possible for you to "add your bit" to help the Foundation provide for those areas that are not taken care of by legislative appropriations. Remember, no gift is too small.

Charles E. Andrews Bequest

The late Charles E. Andrews of Phillips, a 1914 graduate of Peru State College, wanted to help young men and women in their quest of higher education.

He chose his alma mate:r as the principal beneficiary of his estate and charged the Peru Achievement Foundation, Inc. of Peru State College with seeing that future worthy students receive financial assistance through its scholarship program.

In May, 1969, the Peru Achievement Foundation received the largest single gift since its establishment in 1955 from the Charles E. Andrews estate$18,117. Previous gifts and transfer ot holding'$ and interest since 1966 have boosted the total of the Charles E. Andrews Memorial Scholarship fund to more than $26,000.

The bequest and gifts have made possible seven $200 scholarships for Peru State College students for the 1970-71 academic ye;;µ-. The scholarships will be awarded on the basis need, scholarship, character, recommendation of school officials.
