Attempting Is Half the Fun!

With the beginning· of the· new school year, many attempts are being made byschoo~o~~anizations to create interest in campus activities~ The Student Center Board and the Student Governing Association are working esp~c~allyha~d to stimulate the students into participating rn college affairs. This can be seen in some of the activities planned for freshman orientation.

As with all planned activities$ however, the Student Center Board and the Student Governing Association themselves cannot determine the success or failure of what is attempted. In the past the students have expressed their dissatisfaction with these organizations and the lack of anything to do. In the past the students might have had ver_y valid arguments on th~ir behalf, for, at times, excitement and outside entertainment was very scarce.

This year is different, hopefully for the better. Both the presidents of the Student Governing Association arid the Student Center Board have expressed the desire to reduce student apathy and have worked actively for this goal. Some of the means have been through showing movies, bringing in nationally known groups for dances and concerts and supporting the students with legitimate complaints aboµt the campus•. As a result, active participation has increased somewhat., But more involvement by more students is needed for this success to continue. It is not necessarily the number of students attending the college that counts, but rather the number of active studentso

Other factors are involved in arousing interest in campus affairs, such as co-operation and', support by the faculty and administratione How• ever, at this time, the effort and in~rest must come from the students themselveso

Perhaps this way we can have a yearbook this year, show more enthusiasm at sports events, and, in general, create more school interest and spirit. It's up to the students!.

PSC Yearbook Cancelled

By JOAN BACHENBERG Finances,

student apathy and lack of co-operation have caused cancellatioo of The Peruvian, Peru state College student annual, according to Dr. Neal s. Gomon, president.

This will be the first year· since World War II that Peru state College will be without a yearbook. The plans for termination of the publication were an-· nounced recently, and thus far, have not been altered. The student Governing association has taken an interest poll of students and leamed that more than 50 per cent are interested in hav ing an annual.

President Gomon gave three major reasons for his decision to cancel the yearbook. 'Ibe first reason was a cut in the budget. The second was lack of interest by the students. Only one third <i. the student body had ii- ctures taken for the annual, There was also a great lack of C0-<lperatioo by different organizations in having pages filled. The third major reason was that so few students were actually willing to help put the yearbook together.

Dr. Gomoo also stated that several universities and col• leges, includingthe University of Mlonesota, have done away with yearbooks.

For Better or Worse

By BOB BOWEN

Another semester has opened and everyone has been regis• tered, oriented, marti culated and generally run ragged. Now that classes ·have ~tarted the student body can give a sigh rJ. relief and be glad they won't have to register for at least another four months.

The freshmen ean also say a little prayer of thanks to the SGA for doi11g away with the traditional initiatloo night and that famous thirst-quencher lmo\\11 so well by fonner fresh-. men, "Goober Juice." Miss Schneider· and the SGA aban• doned the usual initiation in fa• vor of more formal and less personal activities such as discussion panels and a search for Peru•s hidden treasure, whatever that may be.

Toe president added that he is not personally opposed to the yearbook here if co-operation by the students in publishing it were better.

Diana Schneider, president fi. the SGA, said that representa• tives of the association are going to meet with Dr. Gomon this ~ek to discuss results of the survey. She said that she would like to work in conjunction with the Student CenterBoardtohave a yearbook, She also emphasized that all plans are subject to diange and that nothing is definite. She did state, however, that if · satisfactory yearbook plans can be arranged, costs will be cut to a minimum.

Interest or the students in p.1blishing a yearbook is dependent upon co-operation and support d, the project. This may be the last chance for the college to have a yearbook. The decision is up to the students.

Peru Can Do!

The campus remains un• chang~ only the people have been moved around. Residents fonnerly hiding in Morgan Hall are now hiding in Delzell Hall while Morgan is being reinforced against the frigid Nebraska winters. Former male residents of Delzell are still slugging it out for the spare beds in Ma• jors and Clayburn-Mathews.

Brave souls who decided they coold withstand frigid weather and unheated dormitoµ.esforthe duration of the weekend. were

Gordon Thompson, Lake Charles, La,: I found registration very long and boring. I really like the campus, because it's small and the people are so friendly, As for the beanie, I think it makes me look like a dumb kid!

Nancy Fox, Orchard, Iowa: A relative influenced me to come to Peru. The town is really something else, lxlt the ·people are so friendly and helpful. I like the idea of the beanies because I feel that you get to meet more people that way, As for recistratioo, it stunk!

Tom Craig, Kansa, City, Kan.: • I chose Peru because I wanted a small school, The people are very friendly and the campus is beautiful, As for registrationa!l I can say is that there has got to be an easier way. I also like the idea of the beanie - simply because it is tradition.

.Judy Werner, Syracuse: My greatest influence into coming to Peru iyas my high school principal. I want to be a teacher and he told me trat Peru was the best for that, I like the campus because it is small - more persooal and the people are so friendly, I thought registration was a goofed-up mess - it really needs some improvement.

Andrea Williams, Omaha: My high school counselor recommended Peru to me; however, I also wanted a small school and Peru has just what I want, So far, I have found the peopl~ very friendly, not like big city peq:ile who don't care who yru are, The upperclassmen rave also been very helpful,

Mary Goergen, Osage, Iowa: I really like all of the trees on the campus - they make it; however, there are too many hills, I had never seen the town and I was quite shocked by it, but, the campus is lovely. Registration was a complicated mess!

Defeat is not new to Peru state College football fans and wssibly the Bobcats' 31>-14 QPening loss to Tarkio in the Nebraska Cizy Apple Bowl came as no ~rprise, .H~wever, antidpa• 'lion and optimism prevailed as Bobcat fans were treated to a greatly improved style of play that was never matched in the 196 9 season.

Peru had several. weak spots and their play was anything but consistent. f:owever, the young Bobcats showed frequent signs cl promise as the Peru offense, dormant throughcut tire 1969 · campaign, scored 14 points and were. tied with the Owls at that figure in the third quarter.

Bobcat fans received their first chance to cheer early as freshman quarterback Terry Crlge,r, Nebraska City, hit LarTY Pracht, Carson, Iowa, with ·a scoring strike just minutes in•

lugged the ball five times for 26 yards while Randy Den, Auburn was good for 21 yards in his only carry. Head Coach Joe Pelisek said his Bobcats played ·about the MJ.Y he had predicted before the game. "They looked very good in spots and then they looked bad at times. our job

Nothing can remain the same1 be it people, orthings,ortowns.

Peru is no exception. During 1his past year many changes have occurred in downtown Peru, the majority for the better. Many businesses have changed man• agement including the drug store, the hardware store, the ll.tilding and supply company, the standard gas station, the bank and the barber shop.

The drug store is now owned and operated by Mrs Donna sayers and is called "Donna's Gift Shop.'' The hardware store changed hands the first of July, when the Bowmans sold it to Mr Jerry Patterson. The store has been renamed "The Village Hardware." Another business changing hands has been the standard gas station, The MeAdams sold it to Mr Howard Fram the first fo June. The Cotton Building and Supply is now the Peru Building and Supply and is owned and operated by John J. McIntyre. Also procurring a change in management was the barber shop. It is now operated by Mr John studt. other improvements in down• town Peru have come about through the opening and expan-

sion of businesses. The first'new rosiness to open was Duffy's Inn, owned and operated by Bob MeAd.nns. This business was start• ed during the second semester of the last school year. The next establishment to open for busi• ness was Mac's Maytag High• lander Center. The g r a n d opening was August 27th and the center has twenty washers, eight dryers and two dry cleaning units. An attendent is on duty at all times. The third new bus• iuess establishment is Kari Combs and Curls Beauty Shop, It is operated by licensed cosmotologist, Kari Combs and opened for business September 3rd, The bank will be the next business to have a grand open• iug and it is scheduled for October 17 with the opening of its drive-in window.

Peru merchants this year will be open every Thursday night until 9 p,m. and will close Sa· turdays at 6 p,m. This past summer drawings were held every Thursday night and cash prizes awarded for use at local stores.

Through the efforts of the Peru Chamber of Commerce and some of the youth attempts were made to help clean up Peru. As a result a teen center cal• led "The Jn Place" was set up. It is run by Mrs Richard Douglas and Mrs Henry Runkles.

Much of the improvement in the looks of downtown Peru can be attributed to the Peru Chamber of Commerce, It consists ci. 65 members with Mr Duaine McKnight serving as president, Mr Selmer Dohl as vice-president, Mrs MaryAnna Goade as secretary and Mrs Gayle Shipley as Treasurer, These offi• cers were elected in May.

These people are working to give the students of the col• lege businesses to patronize on a local level, rather than having to go to Auburn or Nebraska City, Attempts are being made to draw more businesses to Peru, but in order for this to happen and be successful co-operation and patronages needed by the students and faculty of Peru · State College.

'Gavel and Rostrum' Debate Club Started

Downtown Peru at the present time ... just a beginning

The summer proved to be an exciting cnefor some Peruvians. Greg Maguire, Rita Green, Margaret Lutt, Vince Sunderman, Malaetasi Togafclu, and Steve Wymore were the Peru representatives in the Nebraska-Scandinavia Summer Institute,

The Institute is a branch of the 'people to people' program which was set up during the Eisenhower administration. The purpose was to give these college students the chance to travel to Europe to meet the people and explore regions they had never seen before,

The students were to see and learn the culture of the Scandinavians and to study what influences it had on the Western

world.

Division heads of the college made the recommendation·s as to which students shruld go oo the tour, The tour was under the leadership of Mr Norman Nordstrand, assistant dean of faculties at Wayne state college. The tourists included students from Peru, Wayne, Kearney, Chadroo, Tuna, and John F. Kennedy colleges, The · Institute visited Newfoondland;° .Iceland, Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. While in Denmark, the students sta·yed in the homes of the citizens of Copenhagen, Other stays were in the hotels. Jn Copenhagen, they visited the Tivoli gardens and amuse-

ment park, a shirt factory, the Danish resistance museum, the mayor and his offices, Lutheran cathedrals, and other various museums and points of interest. A visit to the Viking castle in Trelleborg was also on the itinerary.

There was one unique happening in Denmark that many Americans have most mely never heard of, It was the Rebild Festival; in America it would be the Fourth of July cd1:,i,n1iiuu. The llmish peo-ple are the only foreigners to celebrate the American Indepence Day, Their celebration is to show Danish gratitude for (Cont'd on pg.;)

·Peruvians Make Summer Jaunt

Did We Blow It ?!

Pep nllies are rarities on college campuses nowadays 0 Fewer and fewer of our places of higher learning are continuing with this old ritual, which started when students really cared whether or not their alma mater won or lost. None-the-less. September 11 a pep rally on the Peru State College campus took placeo

It can be safely said that Peru fans are ·any• thing but overly involved in their school's athletic endeavors. Oh sure, they yell at the games and act grief-stricken after a loss (after al1 9 that's only decent)., However, Monday they're back to making jokes about the very team that they seemed so in love with only two days before (ahhh, how fickle we be) II

Well, some people on the Campus of a Thousand Oaks decided that possibly something as simple as a pep rally might snap the Bobcat "fans 11 out of their apathetic state. This, friends, is something that will take some real doing.,

A crowd about the size of one of Dr., Schottenhamel's history classes filed into the gym (naturally a few minutes late). Some people might contend that the crowd was larger, however, remember "fans" that freshmen were required to attend and they made up about half of the gathering.

The enthusiasm of those coming· into the gym could be matched only by chemistry majors · stuck in a 7:30 a.,m. history class.

When everyone was comfortably seated, the rally began. First, onto the floor came the lovely Peru cheerleaders who proceeded to do as their title insinuates - that is to lead a few cheers.

They faced the audience but for the response that· they received, they might as well have turned around and cheered to the empty side of the bleachers. It appeared that the Bobcat stu,!'1nts thought they had bad breath and were afr:1id to yell at the risk of offending those '.ll'ound them.

Next came freshmen skits in which all freshmen were supposecl. to participate. However, less than half of the groups that were supposed to perform showed up and the ones that did come consisted of only a very few members (possibly goober juice should be resurrected so fresh• men might appreciate the opprotunity to perform before the. upperclassmen.)

It should be noted that those brave souls who did perform did a good job (most of the time) and deserve an "E" for effor~ In fact, many members in the audience even opened their eyes to watch.

'I'hen came John Winkel, a starting end for the Bobcats, who gave - a speech before the gathered student body. This, by the way, was something that took consi~erable courage, for it had to be hard for a sophomore who has played in 10 games and 10 losses to stand before a crowd of people waiting to taste victory for the first time in 2 years.

However, the extrem.ely personable Winket rose to the occasion., His speech was sincere and the crowd_ seemed to respond to his confidence. Suddenly something was happening.

It appeared that Winkel might have started a 'spark that was turning into a fire for when the cheer leaders returned to the floor the au- · dience actually tried to take part as many raised their voices (or at least mouthed the words - this is something) to the cheers.

Could Bobcat fans be gaining interest'( The final test was still to come.

All freshmen were ordered to the floor <.correction: asked to the floor - no one must think that the poor freshmen were being har•

assed}. They were then told to sing the school song.

They appeared uncertain as to whether to be embarrassed. or proud to sing the song. They looked to the bleachers to decide. There they saw Peru upperclassmen yawning and drifting back to sleep. Therefore, the song was feebly finished and the Pep Rally ended. "Fans," you failed the finale, AND HOW!!!

This writer does not clai~ to have been any better than anyone else in attendence. However, he has become shocked to think that he and his peers could -not find it in themselves to rise and sing the color song in support of the struggling but fighting Bobcats.

That's right, we blew it - all of. us., But,. who knows, maybe we'll get another chance. Will we mess up again? HOW ABOUT IT?l!?

History Repeats The Ped,gogi,n

It is interesting to note, that history often repeat's itsell. Beating this thought in mind, me must look at the contemporary headlines of t<xlay's news and the speeches of the nations politicians and realize that the "game" has been played before. For example:

c'The streets ci our country are in turmoil, the universities are filled with students rebelling and rioting. Communists are seeking to destroy our country. Russia is threaterrlng us with her might.

Don't Count Underdog Out in Grid forecast

lt !es been said never to on a foctmll because no ma~r how the oddsmakers rate· a game there is always room f<r an upset. Last weekend's football games gave some of the bookies gray hair. Let's look at what hawei,ed. Nebraska an elevenpoint underdctt tied the ntighty USC Tro)ms. The Wildcats of KState were upset by Kentucky, andMissoorihadto rely on a. secood half blitz to overcome a toogh Minnesd:a G~her football t.eam. Also over the weekend there were two major footblll streaks brwght to an end. Doane, not having lost in 38 straight games, was defeated very soondly by the fired-up team from Cmcordia college, while in Peru the Bobcats were ending tl!eir own personal losing streak. After losing 15 straight games the Bobcats fimlly wmagame.

This year the Peru state team will depend on an aoondance of young football players to help Peru return as oo.e of the state college football powers. Prooobly the key to any good team is the quarterback positioo. This year Peru is depending <n a freshman to do the job. Terry Criger, from Nebraska City, is the signal caller who could lead Peru back to the glory that was once synwomous with the name Bobcats. Manyyoungplayers at key positicns cruld also help lead Peru to many victories this year.

A t.eam is oomd to make mistakes, bit can learn to make up !or their mistakes with pure football savy. This year's editioo of the Peru State fo<tmll Bobcats have shown in two football games that they are certainly a determined groop of yoong men. They deserve all the support they can get. Watcrung the game is not enaigh. This Saturday when the Bobcats take the field against a toogh team from Northwest Missouri Slate, let's cheer loog and lrud and show the Bobcats we are with them all the way.

Peru State College realized an enrollment decreasethisfaU, ·· ·according to Dr, Kelly Liewer, regibirar. The total peak enrollment for the fall of 1970 is 1133 day and night students, compared to a total peak enroll• ment of 1261 students a year ago, 'nus represents a decrease <i. 128 students. These statistics do. however, represent an enrolhnent increase over the spring semester of last year, when 1079 students were en~ D>lled.

There are 1030 day students mrolled this fall, including 626 male students and 404 female students. Day enrollment for the fall semster of 1970 con• sists of 319freshmen, 253 sophoj; mores, 217 juniors, 223 seniors, and 18 Post-graduates.

Dr, Liewer felt that one of 1he main reasons for the enroll• ment decrease was thenewdraft lottery system. He noted that

there were only two less female

' students and that a dl"Qp in male enrollment accounts for the bal• f ance of the decrease.

Hand That Rocks the Cradle .Can Alsa Rock the Boat

By CON.NIE MORRISON

The Women's Liberation Movement has been greeted with cries of "what in. God's name could these women possibly want? 11 The answex: usually heard .is one of women changing places with men. Fortunately this answer is not given by women's liberationists but by men and women who are uninformed of the goals of the Women's Liberation Movement. Women ~do·n•t want to change places with men. M~n and women shouldn't exchange roles; they should rat.her be free to choose according to individual talents and preferences.

The Women's Liberation Movement is composed of many diverse groups. They vary from the conservative ·N.b.w.· {~ational Or· gruiization for Women) to the radical W.I. T.C.H. (Women1 s International Terrorists C6nspiracy from Hell). Each group. has its own goals which can range from self defense for women to a complete breakdown of the patriarchial system; but nearly all are united on the following goals: equal pay for equal work; a chance at jobs traditionally reserved for men only; nation· wide abortion reform; and round the clock, state supported child-care centers~

When an intelligent, young_ woman graduate.. looks for a job, why is the first question always: "Can you type?" Why is it that wo· men are always_ thought of as secretaries or housewives? Librarians or teachers but not doctors or lawyers? Although one third of the American work force is women - 42 percent of the women 16 years of age and older work - the median salary for full-time women worker is 58.2 percent :oCthat for men. Wages, according to the 1968 median salary for full-time year-rounds, breaks down as fol• lows: $7,870 white males; $5,314, non-white males; $4,580, white females: and $3,487. nonwhite, females. On the average a woman needs a college degree to earn more than a man does with an eighth grade education. Women constitute only 9 percent of all the professions, 1 percent of the engineers, 3 percent of the lawyers and 7 percent of the doctors. Average starting salaries in each of these fields are lower for.women than for male counterparts. Nine out of ten elementary school teachers are women; -eight out of ten elementary school principals are men.

One million or more abortions are believed to be performed in the United States every year. Each year there are five hundred to one thousand deaths reported due to illegal abor· tions. Unreported deaths push estimates closer to one hundred thou!:)and. Yetwhenperformedin a hospital or under clinical conditions, anabor-

tion is safer than a tonsillectomy and many times safer than childbirth. Abortion laws in forty-one states prohibit the performance of abortions unless necessary to save the life of the mother. These abortion laws are being fought on the grounds that 'it is unconstitutional to force a woman to bear a child against her will, The state of New York has repealed its abortion laws as a r_esult of lobbying done by the Vvomen's Liberation Movement•. Justice Ray· mond A. Peters wrote in his opinion that "the fundamental right of the woman to choose whe· ther to bear children follows from the Supreme Court's and this .court's reported ac- · knowledgernent of 'right to privacy' or 'liberty' in matters related to marriage, family, and sex.

Women's liberationists are adamant about the · need for day care centers. The United States is the only industrialized nation in the world which does not provide public child-care ser· vices, :\ccording to Newsweek. thP.re are

ROBERT VANA

..., By

In view of the recent emphasis on womensrightforfreedom, this reporter decided to give his slant. We welcome and expect criticism on this and any other columns,

This past summer I was employed by a company that engaged in the production of natural and synthetic rubber products~ Over half of the employees were women,

To prevent discrimination 'there have been many federal ll!ws passed. For example, a sign was posted in several areas d the plant stating that federal law prohibited allforms of discrimination. In a·broad sense 1his would have to be interpreted to include the rights of females.

There were numerous times that a female would ask a male to help her pick up a tray of rubber, It was company policy 1hat men should help women pick up heary materials.

However, we are reminded of an incident when a female asked · us to help her and then proceed• ed to tell us that she thought it was too much.to expect a woman to have to work so hard,

If this same woman advocated women's liberation, she would then be forcing herself to do any job that she hired out for the same as a man. The argument that "it's too heavy" wouid be non-existent. Being feminine _ would no longer be because it would be inconvenient to wear make-up, etc, ·

In the futurethere will be more legislation. Imagine going to a shopping center and seeing a sign that reads "Federal law prohibits discrimination against females when entering doors, ports, or any entry or passage way,"

Women 11111 be employed in all forms of business. They wili have the right to do light dock v-:orl<: ~uch as beef lugging, runmng air-hammers on construc-

Maybe They Can F,ight But

They Don't Have To!

ByJOANBACHENBERG

Should the women be liberated? Isn't it the duty of women to fight, along with every other n+inority, even though they're in the majority, to want equal rights? Many think so, especially th,qse who are members of the woman's liberation movement.

Women have, in fact, come along way toward earning equal rights within the past 150 years. A prime example is found in Elizabeth Black• well, who became the first woman medical doctor in the United States. She gained admis· sion to a New York college and received her degree· 'in 1849. She knew what she wanted, and worked arduously until she reached her goal. As a result, today any woman who has the ability and the desire can become a doctor.

This was just a beginning. Another. and probably more definite step, in the movement of equality for women came in 1920 with the passage of the 19th amendment, stating expressly that women have the right to vote. Much

t'd from page 2) the credit fot this achievement goes· to san B. Anthony. She was not as discreet as

Blackwell in making her objectives known

she publicly attempted to cast a ballot, r which she was given a pr'isoq sentence. Today women are working in almost all lds of employment. It was a woman who ore, in Lyndon Johnson as President of the ·teci. States.

The major drawback, was and is the timenored image of the woman as a loving wife, _ voted mother and a jack-of-all-trades around ,e house. A woman is first of all a human ing deserving the right to become anything e so desires just so long as she does everyshe sets out to do as best she can. And ·s goal can be attained she should be salaried ordingly, on an equal with male co-workers.

It is possible for a woman to survive in two rlds, which may be at one time or another ofitable, but she is first and foremost a man with the choice to make, which is ·te often more than men have, and in itself form -::>f liberation. ·

No matter what one does he or she must be ncerned with other things and people in adtion to position, status and wealth. If a won can do this and be liberated, fine, but the ost important thing i_s. to be a woman. ·

Hand That Rocks The Cradle

(Cont'd. from page 2)

3.8 million children in the United States who need supervision while their mothers work. The present day child-care centers can cope with 475,000 of these children throughout the nation. With the cost of living rising it is becoming an economic necessity for. more and m)re m.-)thers to contribute earnip.gs to the family income. More importantly, it is vital that mothers have the opportunity for time for themselves away from their children. Not all women are fulfilled by.the endless routine ofhousework. They need a chance to get out and do the things which they find fulfilling. Many mothers would willingly work at a job they considered fulfilling if there were only some place where she could feel secure in leaving her children, All women's liberationists are not bra burn- ers. They are in the main women dedicated to bringing about needed social change to all of mankind. The hand that rocks the cradle can also rock the boat.

Letters To The Editor, LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS Season Opens Peru

EDITOR, THE PEDAGOGIAN:

We would like to present the positive side ct the annual question,

mresponse to the article written by Mr. l)ivid Davison in last week's Pedagogian, we agree that the main purpose of Peru State is to produce quali• fied teachers. at how can a teacher be qualifi~d in the field of joornalism when tMt teacher has had no experience produc- · ing a yearbook? Thehighsehool annual is still aliveandrequires ei::perienced sponsorship,

The loss of key people due to student teaching assignments and the lack of communication amoog those partic~ting is a result of poor statrmg. The underclassmen could work at the writing and photography assignments while the upperclassmen, having had this experience, could s.tn:.xe ia•.eaitorial caoaclties,

In reference to the over load on the instructor, we feel thatwhen a teacher signs a contract to teach, he should be fully aware of the responsibilities and activities connected with his department.

An incomplete course of study in journalism wil1 not be improved by drqiping the Peruvian. Jf anything, it will limit the stud,y of journalism even more. As far as the facilities, staff, finances and time are concerned, we feel the ooly things lacking are faculty and administrative support and readily available finances.

The citing of Wayne.state as an example had merit, rut, do weas students consider WayneSl:!teto be a mOdel £or !Ml ~.· fo.ilOY.12 Aettrdil!g to \fr. llliism.•s·

State seniors bad their pictures taken, Yet Wayne has somehow

managed to k~p their yearbook,.

Failure of a few studwts to have pictures taken is net necessarily a reflectioo r:J. the popu-: larity of the yearbook, Perhaps some of these students were not aware of tht- time or nlace at which the pictures were taken, How about a widely publicized, scheduled session with a photographer?

The joint use of some pictures for both the Pedagog:lan and the Peruvian serves to preservethe highlights of the year, a function the Pedagogian cannot fulfill,

The Pedagogian is a fine publication bit it is not meant to replace the Peruvian, The suggestions presented doo'tseemto satisfy the need for a permanent comprehensive publicatioo that will be kept for many years.

SO WHY CAN'T WE HA,VE A YEARBCXK?

Sincerely, Kyra Rengstor1 Christie Ubben Mary Wenzl

To be specific, take for example, the current UPheaval on the college campus today, Stu• dents have met theoldstandards head on. Many have died, more have been wounded and still more have come away from their Mttle for change with an unsettling sense of hopelessness. To say that the youth of today has not accomplished change woold be an inaccurate statement. The cost of that change, throogh head to head confroma~on, has been great; and one sometimes wooders, is it cbal"€0 or merely concession?

Possibly, a more acceptable and less costly method of creating change would be to master the oldtbeoriesandstandards (the so.called system created by the establislnnent) and use those theories and standards as tools to execute an actioo call~d change,

To bring this discussfoo to a local level; what would be the most prodietive method for a ·SQ!dent or group or students to bring about a change in standard or procedure at Peru State College.

This college has. a system, Qr network whereby change can be accomplished, The student Gov• eming Association, Dr. Rosenberg, Miss Bradley, Dr, Mel• vin and Dr. Gornto are all part oC that system. Thlltsystemalso has a method of doing things;

The most profitable way to bring about a change here or anywhere ls to discover where the system lies, what it is, wbo it is and how it operates. Once yoo have found the answers to these questions, then put the system to work for you, Using a well-worn c!iche, "If you can't lick theni, join them", Utilize the system to chaogetl,e system.

The great thing about oor system in America of Democracy, is that the system offers a way in which it can be clnnged, A method by which the system can ·change itself; that method is the logic of change.

Who would have guessed atthe bet@ming of the 1970 Peru state College football campaign that the yoong, inexperienced Bobcats would win two games after two straight seasoos of total •disaster. Well, fans, that's just w~t has happened and the Bobcats have played in oolyfour c<11tests.

Peru looked as it msn't look• ed in some time as the Bob cats easily rolled over Swthern Stlte college on October 3 by a score of. 34-.22.

The evening began slowly in the Peru oak Bowl as the vis-

Winkel, in his seccnd year as a regular, had his finest game against Southern state. Hegrabbed four aerials for 140 yards and two TD's. The scoring receptions were for 31 and 48yards, Criger, a freshman, likewise had his top college performance. He completed seven of 12 passes for 144 yards and carried the football 13 times for a net of 89 yards and scored one touchdown, itors broke the ice first. In the opening period Jim Single ran five yards to the end zone to give the South Dakota team its only lead. The conversiai attempt was no good wt that"· was to prove unimportant for the Soothern State team.

After that, the game was all Peru. Peru scored once each in the first and second periods and exploded for 20 more tallies in the third quarter. They went into the last stanze with a 34-6 lead before the visitors moonted a futile 1&-point rally.

Peru dominated play with a balanced attack as it rolled up 234 yards rushing alongwith144 via aerials for a tctal offense

In state college action Saturday the Peru State Bobcats will play the Missoori Western Griffoos in the Qak Bowl. The Bo~ cats are on the prowl and it looks like the Peru team will win the game in coo.vincingfashion. Peru 35 Misswri Western 7.

Wayne State, coming off a convincing victory over UNO, play a real tough team of Eagles from Chadron. Last year Chadron won, but this year the outcome should be different. Wayne state has the momentum, Wayne 20 Chadron 17.

K-state 28 Kansas 13, The key game in the conference will find Misswri at Nebraska, This shoold be a close game, with the team making the least mistakes, coming out the winner, Zero will have to stick with Tim Zinn, the original Nebraska Cornhusker, andpickNebraska.

Dead Whisper

In Our Town

Picture a cemetery, the Peru cemetery on a d.1rk, misty night. One can almost hear the dead whispering among themselves as the wind blows through the trees.

This is the setting that you "'ill hear and see in the third act of Thornton Wilder's play, "Our Town,"

Dress rehearsals were being held this week as directoi;c James Dunlavy prepares to present his first performance at Peru.

On its debut there, the Chicago Journal of Commerce called the production "A supreme adventure in playgoing, If ever a play was predestined to live in the memory of an audience, "Our Town'' is that play!!" This play was presented twice before at Peru and will open Thursday, October 22 at 8 p.m. and will again be presented on Saturday of that week at 8 p.m.

Peruk·s Nice But So What?.

For those students who are active in two or more clubs or activities on this cam.pus, read no further. For those who aren't, proceed with cautiono

Apathy has been and still is a major topic of conversation on this campus. Unfortunately, talk does not solve the problem.. If anything, it aggravates the situationo Peru may be scenic and Peru may be quiet, but the view and the attitude won't make it a better school.

Homecoming is coming up and there is a lot of work to be done. If previous years can·be used for examples, this year will probably be no different and few students will do all the planning and all the work. The rest will be sarcastic and say it isn't worth the work, and besides what is homecoming or anything else for that matter in Peru.

Unfortunately, it is senseless to talk to these students about apathy since they don't care if they're apathetlc or not. Theyjustwant someone else tQ provide them with a good time. Like going out and doing fun things.

They do realize that .in Peru there isn't a lot to do fun-wise, except park and drink. What they don't realize is that they might possibly '-'b{ able to have fun making their own fun, if they are at all creative and maybe even if they aren't.

Meanwhile., who does all the work? A few who feel that maybe somethingconstructibe can be done despite these people. It isn•t fair, but that's how things are.

Peru can become a betterschoolandaplace a student might be proud to say he graduated from. Peru.might be quletandit may be pretty, these ar.e positive factors in attracting students, but it's the students, especially those who are in maybe one club or activity, that make the college for ~they are' the' ones that get things done.

Now instead of complaining about apathy and nothing to do,· go out and do something, and the res.ults might be startling, which would be a present surprise.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ARE WELCOME. THE STAFF WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE NAMES OF ANYONE WHO DOES SUB~ MATERIAL, BUT NAMES DO NOT HA VE TO BE PUBLISHED WITH LETIERS, ANYONE WISHING TO WRITE LETTERS TAKE IT TO ED 206,

The seven mile stretch into Peru is something else, It could be taken for either a washbeard • rollercooster combin• ation or a repaved rut, - And the length must have been decided as the crow flies, It is· to say the least, pathetic,

The major trouble around Peru is that everyone wants better things, or to continue1raditions, like a new road into town, or an annual, or more activities on campus; or more to do In town, but very few are willing to work until these things get done, Talk, as the saying goes, is cheap,

The Student Governing Association has set up a complaint committee to talk to Mr Hunter abcnt the food in the beloved cafeteria, rt is hoped that this committee can soon be disbanded because there is no need, which shouldn't be too socm, Rumor is that the service (armed) is better,

ATime For Reminiscing

Every fall colleges and high schools over this nation celebrate a traditional event called homecoming. At this time old gr<1.ds and former students return to their alma mater to renew old acquaintances and to note changes in the campus. ·

Peru State College is no different T h e homecoming festivities include, besides the traditional football game, a parade, a concert, a play and a danceo The cro,vdat each of these events should be good.

This is -a time of nostalglii. ancl thP.t'f'I iR not a much better time,. for the campus is in an array of color with the leaves turning g-old and the sky a bright blue. Enthusiasm should prevail with the football team, especially with the presence of the former coach, Al Wheeler.

The homecoming play, Our Town, is especially appropriate. · Somehow Peru is Our Town. It has been presented twice before, which might have some effect in bringing back memories.

The campus has changed and is still in the process of changing. The latest changes are in the renovation of the Science building and Morgan hall. Other recent improvements have been in the renovation of the auditorium and to changing Nicholas-Pate hall at the complex into married couples housing and apartments.

Homecoming is a time to note. the continuous process of providing better learning facilities 1 on campus, to catch some. of the spirit that only college a.tudents have and a time to observe that- college students never really change~

Old Bohl s a Hoax!

Old Bob, Peru State's first live mascot, will no longer fool the hundreds of alumni and students who have or will see himo His cover has been dissolved due to an alert Montana hunter and some research in the dusty files of a libraryo

Bob was not a bobcat, but instead a cross between a Canadian lynx and a bobcat., Research shows that it is almost certain that · Bob was a lynx rufus and not a bobcat.

The difference lies in three factors 0 First are his ears~ A bobcat does not have ear tufts like the ones Bob has. The Canadian lynx does have the1no

Secondly, the bobcat has smaller and less furry feet than bob's feet. The lynx has feet that are rather large for the animaPs size and a good .amount of fur around them.

Thirdly, Bob is not the right color0 He does have the dark spots for a bobcat, but the rest of his fur is too light in color. The light color is a characteristic of the lynx..

Hopefully, before long a new mascot will arrive to carry on in the old tradition of Bob. A bobcat mascot is on order from an animal farm in Florida.

The sets for the play are very simple and h!sically include chairs, tables and stools. It

No doubt for many it is fun to think back on high school days and then to look at old yearbooks and reminisce over the many great times and wonderful friends, And no doubt, 25 or even 40 years from now, ·the same will be true for college mys, long after the acquisition of Masters' or Doctorate degrees, children grandchildren or who-knows-what, Class reunions help old classmates to keep in touch and around homecoming time at Peru is when these reunions take place, This year the graduating classes of 1930 and 1945 are being hooored, :\iany activities are planned for the alumni so that they can spend as much time together as possible reminiscing · "good old college days,"

The Ped staff thooght it would be interesting to get in tooeh with a Peru grawate from one of the classes being honored and see what college was like at that time. Alter coo.sulti!Jg a list of grads it was found tint many of them were spread all over the United S'lates, But Mrs Iris Jmes Allen, a 1930 graduate, was located in Auhim.

V.'hen asked what influenced her to come .to Peru, she stated that she lad attended high school in the Campus school which is nowthe Educatim building, Upon graduaticn from high school she entered the college, Mrs Allen lived in Mt, Vernoo dormitory where the student Center is located, now and in

Eliza Morgan Hall when it was brand new.

Transportation was very different in those •days and there was only a dirt road from Auburn to Peru. It seemed to her then that Peru and Auburn were a bout the same traveling distance that Lincoh! and Peru are today,

At the time that Mrs Allen attended school, after two years one coold go out and teach, so that is what she did and attended Peru in the summers to complete more hours,

Mrs Allen stated that she was very active in the Dramatics club, She had the lead role in her senior class play, 'Seventh Heaven,' and also participated in many homecoming plays. Mrs Allen majored in music and elementary education and was also active in the Phi Lo club, YWCA and Girl's Glee club, irrs Allen said tint she enjoys the reunions and homecomings very much and has kept in tooch with a few of her classmates althoogh their interests have changed, she said,

At the present time, Mrs Allen is teaching at the Nebraska School for the Visually Handicapped in Nebraska City andhas tieen there for 14·years, Her last statement at the close of the interview was "College was woo.derful and I wouldn't trade the memories for anything/'

Mr Wheeler was truly Mr. Sports on the Bobcat campus between 1937 and 1960 as he coached' all major sports at one time or another during that time, His coaching tenure (23 years) ranks as the longest by a Peru head coach.

Despite being an outstanding all around coach, Mr. Wheeler received his greatest recogni• tion from his football duties. He coached the fall sport during all of his 23 years of PSC coaching,

Antelopes Dump Bobcats In Homecoming Game

An aroused KearneyStatefootball team took the field for its homecoming game and received the revenge it sooght at the expense of the Peru S1ate Bobcats, The local crew fell victim to the vengeful Antelopes by the score of 49-7,

The Bobcats started on a high note as Tom Froehlich, A!gooa, Iowa, hit Ramty Den, Aub!rn, with a 50-yard scoring strike tlmt put Peru out in froo.t. Danny _Cotten, Humboldt, converted

to make it 7-0.

From then on it was all up hill as the injury-plagued cats were unable to put anymore points on the board while Kearney's offense had a field day.

Yearbook Needs Money

Have you purchase~ a ve8ibook receipt? If Peru State is to have a 1971 Peruvia.n a.t a.11, 500 copies must be sold.

When it was learned that the yearbook was to be discontinued, many students were disheartened. A petition was circulated to find out how many would like to have a yearbook. A majority of students signed this petition•. The SGA in co-operation with the SCB thenproceeded to see what could be done.

, Much has been done. Mr. Russell Belden and Mr. Ray Miles have agreed to sponsor the yearbook. Bids have been received from three yearbook companies who say they will still be able to publish an annual for this school year. A staff has been assembled. The editorial staff consists of Christie Ubben, editor-in-chief; Greg Thompson, production editor; Jody Bukacek, business editor; Nancy Rhoden, layout editor; Nancy Stoll, copy editor, and Gary Grady, sports editor. Others have volunteered to work on the staff..

Now the money is,needed., Itis time for those who signed that petition to put their money on the line.

·Apat-hy Buried?

The word apathy may be buried inPeru'shistory. The enthusiasm shown in the preparations for homecoming made this fact very apparent.

Never before have the town of Peru and the college worked so closely together. Peru tradition was broken and a new spirit arose.

The homecoming parade, a first for Peru, showed a great deal of involvement from the.,.. students and the townspeopleo This was an appreciated change from the past, for although the displays of the past were time consuming, they did not require such involvement from stu• dents and Peru citizens. Another noted change was the half-time entertainment.

Although these changes are only a small start they are a start! Just as this year's homecoming showed improvement, there is room for future improvement. With apathy buried Peru will make these improvements.

Curriculum Workshops Held

The state department of education at Peru st.ate College held a curriculum workshop on_ October 28.

Students in their professional semester divided int.o groups according to iheir major field of concentration, The group discussions were directed by a special methods teacher, IUblic school master teacher and by the stau. department of edu catioo coo sultant.

ing Caucasians, Cyprians, Banats, Italians and ethers, The lowly male bee performs no function except mating with the queen, He wanders from hive to hive feeding on hooey. At the end of the warm weather all the males are crowded oot of the hive, Approxlmate]y 20 per cent of the hive is

composed of male bees.

To make ooe poond of honey a bee must make 40,000 trips, The bee can carry approximately one-eighth of a drop of honey every trip. Atterthreeweeks a worker bee !lies its wings off. When collect!~ nectar the bee never changes the source rl the nectar, The various soorces Include aUalfa, white dutch clover, sweet elover, linden tree and wild flowers, Honey · made from clover is the most in demand, The honey bee does a little ii'lnce which informs the others where the nectar is in relation to the sun, The hooey bee is the mly bee which has a surplus or hooey. This surplus ranges anywhere from 50 to 200, pounds a year.

To extract the hooey the t~s or the combs are cut off and the comb ls whirled in a centrifuge or extractor. This honey is bought In jars at the store, Honey ls also marketed in the comb.

In 1969 aboot 283 million pounds of honey were produced in the United States, Nebraska, a top honey producer, produced 8,424,000 poonds of honey, The average price per pound was 14,5 cents, Mr Jarvis estimated his production level at 20,· 000 pCAlllds,

The oosy little bees not only produce honey rut also create polinization, Throogh the careless usage of insecticides the farmer is not ooly killing the bees rut hurting his cr~s. Very few wild bees are in existence. Polinization depends largely up,. oo commercial bees, Mr Jarvis gave the example that mce Qlt of 25 swarms, 18 were killed by insecticides.

Hooey, Mr Jarvis explained, is almost a perfect food, It is rich In vitamins and requires little or no digestion, Energy can be obtained lnstantaneoosly throogh the use of hooey.

The little flying, b.tzzfng creatures have a society of. their own, Strange as it may seem, bees all have a commctt cause, working for the good c( the hive, Throogh their work they serve many good purposes for man, Mr Jarvis added,

So, the next time a bee luzzes around, remember she's a friend, and just a little curloos abwt things called "humans.''

Buffalo Path lo Peru Is Rough Ride

Highway 67, Peru's road course, boasts one of the most rigorous tests of the driver as well as his mechanical equipment.

In a six-mile stretch, an expert has engineered a true work of art or what was .once thought to be an unattainable-feat. Theypaved a two-lane buffalo path, cow pies and stumps included.

This master-work of highway engineering was probably designed by an expert who wished to camouflage what he had done. In fact, it is highly probably that the seven mile stretch cannot be seen from the air because it follows each gully and ditch so well.

Sometime in 1972, the highway department plans to begin work on this· paved buffalo path,. but people are fighting it.

Reliable sources have stated that the paving is to continue be· yond Peru to the east. Yet, it is here that people are fighting progress.

Last year the citizens of Peru decided that civilization was passing them by, so they decided to take more pride in their town and improve what they had here. However, ci villza tion is still passing them by and they are letting financial gain slip through their fingers.

Certainly the college brings in revenue. This college is already established and can bring in better things in the communitywants them. All they have to do ls to show some concern for the short piece of sidewalk between the driveway (73-75) and the thres• hold to the town.

Who 1_s To Blame~

Homecoming went relatively smoothly, but behind the main stage of events ' trouble and destruction hit the campus aga_in.

At a dance, held in the gymnashim earlier this year, windows were de· liberately broken, and the .vandals were never found. This time .the railings were torn fronl .the sta,Jrway walls and the ashtrays from. the Walls of the auditorium. This fine masterpiece of work was undertakenduring:the Classics IV•· concert and once. a.gain the !a.ndals fled from the seen~ :an4 have not been apprehended.

These two incidents were not accidents. The destruction of state property is a 9riminal ~ffense. Not only are these acts criminal in na~re, but they show the complete disrespect for property, regardless ofwfiose it may be, that some student or students possess.

Each time something like this happens the students. are only hurting them· selves. The Student Center Board and the student programs committee _work together jointly in trying to pr?v1de a variety of entertainment for this cam· pus. Each time trouble errupts these two units are hindered in their work. The question seems to arise, "What will happen next?"

As students, and mo-re so as responsible adults, the student body must deal with this problem. If anyone has information pertaining to these events, it is his responsibility to inform the Dean of Students. For once the students must stand up for their rights and see that justice is done. A few people can not do all the fighting. As members of the student body, all students must share the responsibilities of this campus.

It is about time that each student take so.me of this responsibility upon himself, step forward, and be counted as a constructive. participant of this college communHy.

The SGA in cooperation with the SCB then proceeded to see.what could be dooe. Diana Sclmeider,president, SGA, and Jan Axdahl, president, SCB, coosultedPresident Neal S, Gomoo concerning the. matter. He responded with a letter outlining, step-by-step •the items which needed to be taken care of before work could begin on the annual.

1;'he members of these organ·izatioos then began working on this prqiosal, They needed to · find faculty advisors to sponsor the annual. They needed to obtain bids from three yearbook companies, who could still produce an annual, They needed to assemble a staff, The assembled staff coosists of the following: Christie.

Peru State's novice debate team of Pat Castle and Jim Gibbs won four of six debates at the Mankato (Minn.) State College Invitational Forensic. meet last weekend. The beginning debaters won over Kearney State, Wisconsin State at Whitewater, and Drake,

· while losing to Gustavus Adolphus and Black Hills State. Thirty~ne schools from Min nesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Nebraska, South Dakota and North Dakota were entered in the tournament.

Peru students who are now interning at the Omaha and Lincoln public schools spoke to the Foundations of Education class on November 10. Interns are enthused about this new program. They indicate 1 it is beneficial for both the student and Peru. The student is accepted as a teacher for one semester. This varies greatly from the nine week student teaching program, Under the previous program the student "'.orked with the te~cher for only mne weeks. In mterning the student actually 'teaches the class for one semester. Interns· are paid for their efforts.

To receive these benefits the intern must attend a session of summer school. During this short session the student receives all the methods courses mat are given in the other nineweek program.

The illness of Carol Muse prevented her teaming with Gary Nelson as Peru State's second novice team. Julee Tillman and Diane Forke were entered in the varsity division. The students were accompanied by· James D. Levitt, forensics coach. Mr Edward Camealy, associate professor of voice, has announced that on Smiday, December 13, at 3 p,m,. the annual Christmas concert of the Peru state College choir will be presented, free of charge, in the college auditorium, ' There will be two selections sung by the choir, One of the selections will be more serious in nature, while the olr.er will be in a lighter vein.

The serious selection is the Christmas Oratorio by Bach and the light selectioo is ''Twas the Night Before Christmas," as arranged by Frei Waring, Officers of the choir for 197071 school year are Doug Kotti_ch, pre~ident; Becky Corbett, vice-president; and Diane Dunn, secretary-treasurer,

PERU STATE COLLEGE, PERY, NEBRASKA FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1970

An Attempt at Progress

Progress has been defined as movement -toward • .a specific goal or a further stage; the development or cumulative improvement, as of an individual or a civilization; and the forward or onward movement in space or time.

Progress is something that ,has to happen in order to become better. Without it di.saster can ·incur. People and nations ~ave fallen through inner decay because of selfsatisfaction and the belief that progress was not needed. The fall of the Roman Empire is a prime example.

Progress in itself is a. hazy concept. Many times it comes about without full knowledge or understanding. Basically, it is change. Sometimes for the better, sometimes not, but that is the chance that has to be taken.

Peru State College has made steps of pr~ gress throughout its history. It has seen generations of students come and go. It has changed, in many cases ever so slowly, but it has changed.

New buildings have been built; old ones remodeled or torn down. The student pqpula• tion has increased· and decreased, for many reasons. Administration and faculty members have come and gone or stayed on for what seemed like forever.

All has been done in the name of progress and change.

Even now attempts are' being made to in· duce further change in the form of school policy. This change deals with the policy of room visitation arrangements. This change must be looked at frofil: a realistic point of view.

Can members of the opposite sex be trusted in each others rooms? Will lt increase the sociability of the roommaJes? Would such an arrangement be an invasion of pri• vacy? Is it worth it to even attempt such a thing? Is this progress?

Progress is a difficult · thing to contend with many times. But attempts to change, improve, and move· forw.<1.rd have to be made. Maybe something like interdorm visitation won't work, but maybe then again it would. Progress lies in finding out. And Peru needs progress.

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS Vacation

Letters To The Editor

EDITOR, THE PEDAGOGIAN: We have one 01>Ject1on to Bryan O'Connor's letter of last week, The letter should have been written sooner. We are in complete agreement with Mr. O'Connor. We are not for abolishment of all rules concerning Peru State College women, However, we are for a complete revision of the rules concerning PSC women, Mr. O'Connor said, the problem night be "the belief of a ' few, in the higher echelons of PSC." This problem can be solved in one of two ways. One, the administration can change its policies. '.two, the personnel ·comprising the administration can change. We. feel that this campus should be one of continued progress, not one of static indifference. In our opinion, the purpose of the administration is ·not to fight the students, but to aid the students in obtaining a compl~te education, To this end we feel the administration should immediately undertake a complete revision of the rules concerning PSC women and bring them more in line with rules concerning PSC men.

Mrs Doris Peterson, representative from the Merle Norman Cosmetic Studio in Nebraska City was the guest of the Peru State Home Economics club on November 9, Mrs Peterson demonstrated the use of cosmetics on student model Diane Bender. Forty members and guests were present.

The Student Wives club revised its constitution with the following two amendments:

L To appoint or elect one club member to the SGA

2. To admit into membership wives whose husbands are parttime students, and wives who themselves are students rather than their husbands.

Beth Bowens was elected. to represent the club on the SGA.

EDITOR, THE PEDAGOGIAN:

Sometime during the recent ·four day vacation over Teachers convention, three dogs were executed by campus police. The dogs, one of them called "Pete," frequented the campus.

Anyone with capable observance can see that even now dogs continue to roam Peru State. College. One of them, a dalmation, belongs to a certain campus official. This leads me to ask: "Why are these dogs living and the other three dead?"'

I find only one "logical" answer; these dogs wear collars. Unfortunately for them the other dogs did not have collars, so this marked them for target practice.

Would it have been so difficult for someone to have made known the fact that if these dogs did not get collars, they would ' die? Someone who had· the authority to decide the fate of' those poor dogs could have warned the students. A collection could have been taken to save the dogs, Or is life, even that of a poor wretched canine, held so cheaply.

They were only dogs, but then, we are only humans.

It was a long day for Peru fans as their Bobcats closed out the 1970 campaign with a 35-0 loss to Graceland college on November 14 at Lamoni, Iowa.

A fumble in the opening quarter gave the hosts their first touchdown and it was all up hill from there. Graceland tallied single TD's in each of the first two quarters and in the fourth. They pushed across two scores in the third period.

One bright spot was visible for Peru followers. Freshman Barry Reed from Henry, Ill., gained 103 yards rushing. His total was only eight less than the

Toe Bobcat harriers reached the Missouri finale by claiming the district title in Omaha on November 13.

Once again it was the Bobcats' three-time All-American Jack Weyers who led the pack. The Sterling senior took the lead early. and widened the gap throughout the race to claim the 5-mile victory with a time of 26:17. The race primed Weyers for a bid for the National individual title - a crown manv feel he has a chance to wear. ·

Other than Reed's performance, little of anything went well for the Bobcats' offensive platoon. The usually potent Peru passing attack was thwarted throughout the day and in the end only six aerials were completed for. a mere 42 yards.

The loss gives the Bobcats a final record of two wins and eight losses. Despite its bleak outward appearance, the record is somewhat misleading and not completely indicative of the Bobcats play this season.

The Bobcats showed· time and again that they could put

However, sparkling Weyers' performance was, it possibly was overshadowed by the inspired effort of unsung Jay Hagerman. The senior from , Humboldt finished second in the race to upset highly-rated Pat Rinn of UNO. His time of 27:20 bested Rinn by four seconds. Rinn was picked by the experts to battle Weyers but had to settle for third place behind the effort of Hagerman.

AWeird Guy Named Claus

Took a trip the other day, ran into a guy named Claus. He was a pretty spaced out fella. It seemed he was getting a little hungup about a certain job he had to do,

The _way we figured it, he was getting ready to fly around in a sleigh with a bunch of rein· deer. We asl ,)d him what for and ·he mumbled and grumbled something about giving gifts to nice people, or was it just people?

But anyway, he sure was a weird guy. He really freaked us out when he took off, for it seems he dropped a list from his pocket and before we could give it back, he was gone with a ''Ho, Ho, Ho!" ·

Well, we hope he has another so he can re• member what it was about. If not, maybe he'll get a glance at this one while he is on his way.

Faculty Visiting Student Teachers

Student teachers are being visited by Peru faculty. A faculty member visits at least four times during the student's nine weeks of teaching. The Peru professor observes the student teaching and holds a conference with the advising teacher and the student.

Dr. John Jensen has stated that evidence so far shows· that elementary teachers function at a high level. He also feels that students and teachers are very enthusiastic. A commonly heard comment by the various school administrators and teachers is, '.'Send us more of this type of

person."

The ,.student teacher is evaluated during the faculty visits. The students will return on January 15 to receive their evaluations.

Evaluation is based on the following points:

1. Planning and conducting lessons.

2. Establishing class control with emphas!s on self discipline.

3. Applying learning theories.

4. Rapport with students, cooperation with teachers and administration.

5. Use of media and learning resources.

6. Selfevaluation through use of selfappraise models.

The SGA will probably toss around the visitation idea from one committee to the next until maybe in May they will come up with a proposal to look into the matter next year. Why is this so? Is it because the SGA does not care about the policies of PSC, or is the SGA ruled by an oligarchy? It appears to me, that the latter is the answer. Yes, a few ruling people who think they represent the students of Peru, but don't. ·

It really amazes me how the SGA can come up with one or two ideas and expect the majority of students to be satisfied. And this is all they do, propose this and propose that, with no actual representation of the students. Sure I will admit that the students elected them into office but they were elected because of their new ideas and proposals that were thought would be done, not just talked about.

What I am proposing is not a completely idealistic representative student government, but a government that is functional in the sense of representation. Why can't the SGA be more informative about their ideas and give the students a chance to communicate with them by means of an open forum or question· and an~wer convo? Or is it true that the SGA is afraid of meeting with groups because of .the new ideas that just might be brought up? And if this is done, then maybe they might be able to change some of the archaic rules and · regulations that we are submitted to.

If the proposal of dorm visitations is passed, then why' stop there? Why not go out and meet the challenge of the students to develop a leadership which is so badly needed in this - school.

· I hope that with this article· something will be done, not just talk but action, for a bet~er

representation of the students of Peru.

Editor, The Pedagogian: For those of you who are financially conscious some research was done about the policy of our own Bobcat Bookstore. I picked up a pamphlet entitled Confidential in our bookstore which outlined their selling and buying policies. I also wrote to several other college bookstores around the state and evaluated their policies with our Bobcat Bookstore policies. For those of you who find yourselves complaining about our Bobcat Bookstore policies, I would appreciate you reading these ·finds carefully and if you are stHI dissatisfied I feel compelled to advise you to either see me or the Bobcat Bookstore to remedy (or attempt to remedy your dissatisfac.tion. The other alternative, of course, is to become silent. So here are the results of the research done.

I know everyone will be pleased to know our Bobcat Bookstore policy correlates very closely to that of other college bookstore policies around the state. Here are some of their policies (and ours) which are in the pamphlet, Confidential, found in our bookstore.

New books are sold at a suggested publisher list price which represents a 20 percent mark up; this, so I have been told, barely covers the costs of operation. New and used books are bought back by the bookstores at 50 percent of the original cost of the book when it was new. The resale value of the used books by our Bobcat Bookstore is at a 25 percent discount. A final major policy is the buy back value of books that are not going to be in use the next semester and these book prices are determined by the Nebraska Book Company.

I hope this. information ends some doubts or reaffirms some opinions - in any event I. hope this information has been helpful.

Peru Wrestlers to Battle In first-, year Bobcat Sport

Something new has been added. That seems to be unusual, so listen up fans.

One the most rapidly climbing sports around is ~tling. Many colleges have aaded the sport in the past few years am Peru bas followed the trend.

Earlioc this year, the PSC a~ini!Jtration purch'ased a $3500 wresUing mat and opened the wa} for the addition of the· cold-myntbs sport on the Campwl;of a Thousand Oaks.

The· lto$k of building a competitive wteStling team for Peru was given to Coach Harlan Krein. He and his squad of 16 set out to.do that through rigorous training that can possibly be matched by no other sport.

Because of the fact thllt wrestling involves continuous, strenuous movement, con-· clitioning is a key factor in success. This conditioning comes through hard work. The team practices an hour and a half each day. They work in nylon sweat clothes in 100 degree temperature in a field house locker room. Coach Krein stated, "It's usual to have two or three men pass out .from exertion during practice."

In the sport, the competitors wrestle in definite weight classes. They cannot be over weight at the meets or they will be forced to forfeit. Because of this, squad members ;u-e ~ften forced to lose weight to wrestle in a certain class. This is another reason for the strenuous workouts. "In one night of practice,"Krein added, "18men lost 160 pounds."

otiginally 35 men reported for practice. According to Krein, wrestling is a sport of .great discipline. He continued by saying, "The non-disciplined ones dropped out early."

In some weight classes there are more than one fighting for the varsity spot. To decide who gets the call a wrestle-off is held. Those trying for the same position wrestle each other and the winner goes into the competition.

C.Ollege wrestling is_ almost completely different from professional and is in most ways much more exciting. Many people are unfamiliar with the sport, however, the programs for the meets contain explanatory information about ft. Therefore, people attending will understand more of what is happening.

There ·will be no charge for the home meets. Peru followers are ·urged to attend and help the cheerleaders support the young sport and its young team members (only one senior is on the roster). The squad members and their weight classes are as follows:

118: Randy Lawson, Mark Olive, Roger Oviatt, and Jack Stanley.

126: Rick Black

134: Jack Mason

142: Kurt Frohling and Rud Wartman.

Intramural BB Rules Explained

Mr Jerome Stemper, director of Peru State Intramurals, set the deadline at December 8 for teams entering the 1970 basketball season.

Games will consist of four quarters of 10 minutes each. At the end of the first and third quarters there will be a oneminute intermission and a fiveminute intermission at half time

A new rule has been added to the intramural basketball rules. "If there is a difference in team scores of five points or less with t}Yo minutes left in the game, the game will be referred to as the Official Part. During the Official Part of the ball game, the clock will stop. on jump balls, fouls, and on charged time outs."

Regular shirts of the same color and pennanent numbers

are required of each team member. Two of the same numbers may not be worn on the same team.

Substitutes are allowed to enter the game any time the ball is dead, but the timer must sound the horn before the player is allowed in the game.

Rick Black takes on his opponent from Concordia College.

Grapplers Pin Concordia 23-17 for First Victory

In its first college competition , the PSC wrestling team captured a 23-17 victory from Concordia college of Seward on December 3.

Peru State trailed 13-7 at the beginning of the final two matches when Sam Workman, freshman from Wymore, pinned Concordia's Fred Taylor in 1:22 in the 190-pound class, and Royce Booe, junior from Fairbury, pinned Concordia's John Adams in 40~econds in the heavyweight class.

,,, through its first six games claimed two tourney · pionships despite being on ,oad throughout. They did so 'fferent manners with walk and close ones but it is a

good team that can do both.

The regular season opened on a high note as Peru travelled to Tarkio and captured a 76-66 win from the hosts. The win was the first for Peru in the last seven meetings between the two schools.

·

From there the Cats ventured to Rapid City, S.D., November 27-28 and took the title of the South Dakota Tech Invitational tournament with wins over two South Dakota schools. In the

opening action they dumped Northern State 95-82 and t:laimed the crown by edging the host team by the score of 85-82 the following night.

Larry Green, ti-8 senior from Brock, and Clyde Wilkins, 5'll senior guard were named to the All-Tournament team from among 'some 50 players on the four teams.

The Bobcats capped their South Dakota jaunt by routing Mt. Marty of Yankton

Peru was victorious by the score· of 84-65.

From there the Cats travelled into Minnesota. On December 4 they went on the hardwoods to meet Lea college in the opening round of the William Penn tournament at Oskaloosa, Iowa. Peru won by the score of 72-65 but had to cvercome a 41-21 halftime deficit to salvage the triumph.

Club, Business Install New Sign

The Campus of a Thousand Oaks recently received a current events sign compliments of Circle K club of Peru State College. The sign was installed near the southwest corner of the Education building.

The sign itself was donated by Donna's Gift Shop in Peru. Circle K. members sanded and painted the sign. The club also purchased 112 magnetic letters for the sign, at a cost of one dollar each. The sign will be maintained by the organization.

Circle K officers for 1970 are Dennis Robertson, president; Russell Taylor, vice-president: Greg Thompson, secretary, and Don Vana, treasurer.

Circle K is the largest college organization in the world. There are over 800 clubs in the United States and Canada. It is a service organization through which - college men can find a means of responsible student action in their communities and a more active involvement in the life of their campus.

'Native Sons' Sponsor Meeting

· Many communities across the United States are sponsoring "Native Sons" Career Opportunities Conferences during the holiday recess. This gives college students a chance to meet with representatives of various blfSinesses and industries, as ~ell as school administrators ,at some centers.

On the bulletin board in fr0rit of the Administration building, the dates and places of such meetings are listed for most of ffie states. The name of the person to contact is given so that !{!an~_ments can be made in advance to attend a meeting.

Students, both men and

women, in the Omaha area may attend a Career OpportW1ity Day on Tuesday, December 29, ·n the Omaha Civic auditorium. Complete information is available in the Placement office in the Administration building. Sioux City will host such a meeting on Monday, December 28, in the Municipal auditorium. The Placement office also has information for students in the New York, Maryland and St. Louis areas.

tough defense led to three steals in the last three minutes to pull the Bobcats through.

However, the win proved costly as Nate Parks received an ankle injury. Earl Brown filled in splendidly by' garnering eight points and eight rebounds.

Peru's closest game of the road trip was a 53-52 squeaker against William Penn college in the championship round. Tight defenses by both teams kept the score down.

Brown proved to be the star in that contest as the substitute led the game in both points and rebounds. He put in seven field goals and four freethrows for a total of 18 tallies. He had one less

rebound for the night.

Green was top scorer for the excursion with 124 points for an average of slightly less than 21 points per contest. Ananias Montague, sophomore forward, totaled 97 points for second high. Nearly one third of that total came in a sparkling performance against Tarkio. Wilkins was next in line with 75 points, followed by Brown with 55, and the,injured Parks with 52.

A Change in Rules - A Change .in Time 1867 to 1970

By CHERYL PATERA

As

of a few regulations which were set forth for students in 1867. These were established by the board of education for the admission of pupils.

Sing Ye All Noel

The sky is dark

The snow is on the groundo Lights are up

It's Christmas all around.

Bells are heard, But are out of sight

And children know

That Santa rides the night.

Oh, sing ye all my brothers

The song we all knqw well, Sing of peace upon the earth

·Oh sing ye all Noel, Noel Sing ye all Noel.

In the East

A star is shining bright And far all

A child cries in the night.

Remember Christmas' :rpeaning

Not just gifts on Christmas morn.

'Twas on that night so long ago

The Virgin's child was born.

Oh sing ye all my brothers , SQ~_Jvt .@o~, ~<t~en_•..

instance, the students want to make it clear that their rooms serve as homes, not merely bedrooms. They fell they are mature enough to act accordingly in their homes just as if they were in their parents' home. This action includes having friends visit the informal surroundings of the home, not under the classroom tensions.

The students also feel this action would promote deeper mutual trust between the faculty · and the students. It is felt that this type of trust has been lacking for some time through faults of both factions and the situation needs improvement. It is realized that inter-dorm visitation would not be a cureall, however.

Inter-dorm 1·isitation would also promote self-respect and self-confidence in each individual. He or she will learn to respect the fellow students as well. lt is hoped that this plan would lessen the segregated feelings that now exists.

There are also economic possibilities foreseen in this plan More students would be encouraged to remain on campus 01·er the weekend. The SGA and SCB would be able to better co-ordinate their plans for entertainment on weekends also.

The conclusion reached bv the SGA was that such a plan for inter-dorm visitation would promote mutual growth in character, personality, and ability. If is also possible to speculate that a true feeling of co-operation between dorms will be fostered.

The rules for the conduct of residents and guests (luring open house and visitation would be 1) Doors to rooms with visitors would be open half way. 2) All visitors must obey the regulations set up by the dorms.

3l All visitors must observe the moral conduct code of Peru State College.

The violations and those people committing them would be the responsibility and under

the jurisdiction of the inter-dorm cow1cil.

This council is to consist of two SGA members and one representative from each dorm. The purpose of this council is to decide if a violation has been committed. If the majority of the council feels there has been a violation, the punishment will be: RESTRICTION FROM VISITING ANY DORM FOR ONE SEMESTER.

Thus the primary responsibility for carrying out the inter-dorm policy is placed on the students themselves.

Note is to be taken of the fact that inter-<lorm visitation has not been okaye~ by President Gomon and the the following schedules are tentative.

Residence halls would be opened to visitors every day of the week. Hours would be:

Sunday, l p.m. · Midnight, Monday - Thursday, noon - 11:30 p.m.; Friday, noon • l a.m. Saturday, noon to 2 a.m. The floor counselors could

check the rooms if they felt that there is a violation of the rules.

The women's residence halls will be open from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Monday and Wednesday. Men's residence halls would be open from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday. On Saturdays, both men's and women's halls will be open from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. All visitors would sign in and out on ap• propriate sheets at the main desk at each ·residence hall. Each floor would have two rotating monitors who would see that the inter-dorm rules would be followed.

Inter-<lorm visitation would be on Tuesday and Thursday from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. and on Saturday from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. at all residence halls. The visitor would be required to sign in and out at the main desk of the dorm he or she is visiting. Visitors must give the room number they would be in. The visitor would then remain with the person they are visiting.

Serenity or De,ath ?

Once upon a timet in the not so distant fu· ture, there was a college,

Although it was a little isolated and some of the buildings were in need of repair, it wasn't a bad campus, ·in fact, it was rather pretty.

Serene. That's what the college was. The atmosphere was serene, especially on Sat• urday night when nobody was there. The students were, for the most part, serene •. That way they eould do what they wanted, legal or otherwise. The faculty was serene, except when told they were flunking too many students. And the administration was especially serene and aloof.

• The result was a slight problem of com• munication. Nobody really talked to anybody else except for certain members of the faculty and students who couldn't see any harm in it.

Then one great day it dawned on the administration that the college was possibly dying. And it was no longer so serene.

The conclusion they came to was that the college wouldn't die if the enrollment increased and that the best way to increase the enrollment would be to get new students. Since the students knew about being students, they could help in the quest.

The students were then asked if theywouldn't like to go out and help get new students for the college. Their response was "why?" No one had a good answer.

The problem was

three-fold. First, apathy; second, lack of good communication between students and staff, and third, enrollment decline. The only way to eliminate the cycle was to remoye a s~p. The possibility of thin~ looking up would then arise.

The best solution. • .sell the college to the students. Give them an opportunity to question those who should know about the problems of the college and find out what can be done. It wouldn't have to be a session of administrators defending themselves and their decisions. The important thing would be to flrid out what the problems are, why, and possible solutions. This would be communication.

From this, the students might take more of an interest in their school and the part they play, eliminating apathy, thus givingthemmore reason for "selling" thef:r school to prospective students.

This is only one solution of m~ny possibilties to bring an end to some of the serenity. And then maybe it could be said that, "once upon a time in the not so distant fu. ture there will be a college ••• "

- LINDA GROOTHIUS

It has come to the attention of many people on this campus, that the improper management of their money is raising many questions. Suddenly, money used for specific items for many years, becomes appropriated to other places.

For example: "The Peruvian Yearbook," For years, a certain allocation has been made from the tuition that each student pays, This year the same allocation was made, but we won't receive the yearbook that we already paid for. At the beginning of the year one student, quite well known on this campus, and with the help of others, decided to screen the students by petition, •to determine how many would be willing to pay an additional fee so we could still have a yearbook. The number was quite small for a good reason; the students felt that they should not be required to pay for something twice. Because there were so few students, it became necessary to seek outside funds, I took it upon myself to solicit the additional funds needed from personal friends and contacts of our family. As of this time I have had no reply. This would seem to me that these people detected a farce in what I was asking. Tell me please, "Where did this money go?" If the production is becoming too much of a financial strain for the college, why won't the administation tell the students and let them decide whether they would like to pay the additional money, instead of waiting until the last minute to tell us that we would not have an annual unless we pay the additional money?

For example: "Our Broughton Food Service." Where does all of the money that the 'food service," (as it is kindly referred to), go? On the average a meal at the cafeteria will cost about 57c to prepare, and we pay either 92c or $1.04, I will then ask, why should the complex students be inconvenienced by having their cafeteria closed, add more congestion to the main cafeteria, and then pay an additional fee of $35 to $40 each semester, to add to our already prominent stomach ailments'! Again I

would ask, "Why can't the students be informed of what is happening?" Is it not feasible for the students to purchase a meal ticket? This way the students could eat what and when they wanted, rather than having both the food service and the students lose money? I can not answer for the majority of students on this campus, but I would be willing to pay double what I am now paying "IF" we would be assured of getting decent food. It is true that young people make their share of mistakes as did their elders before them, but please give us some credit for what we do, what we believe, and the potential that possibly lies within.

Grammar Class Survey Reveals lnconsistancy of Use by Peruvian

Results of a recent survey on what is considered to be good grammar reveal that usage enhances acceptance of grammatical forms.

The English Grammar and Linguistics class, taught by I'vlr Silas Summers. associate professor of English, conducted the survey. Tile following is a copy of a questionnaire filled out by over 100 Peruvians, faculty and students.

"Winston tastes good like a cigarette should"

1. Do you consider it bad grammar? Are the following statements bad grammar?

2. Winston tastes well like a cigarette should.

3. The rose smells good as a rose should.

4. Winston tastes good as a cigarette should. •

5. Winston tastes like burned leather.

6. Winston tastes like most other cigarettes do.

7. The candy tastes sweet like candy should.

In · statement one and in

statement six the word "like" is used as a conjunction, therefore, those who consider statement one correct should also consider statement six correct.

Interestingly enough, 64 persons considered one acceptable but only 34 persons considered number six acceptable. The same thing happened with those who considered number one bad grammar. Forty-seven persons considered number one unacceptable, yet only 24 considered number six incorrect.

From the inconsistency of answers, the conclusion \{ reached that approximately o"' half of the people who t ·.·. survey were either guessing r did not read the stateme ·· carefully.

Bobcat .Quint Rated 19th .in NAIA Cage Poll

By PAT CASTLE

WE'RE NO. 1!!! 1

Well, maybe not yet but the Peru State College basketball team has set out to try. Minutes after claiming a 76-61 homecourt victory over Northwest Missouri State college of Maryville, Mo., the Bobcats learned that they had been named as the 19th best NAIA team in the nation.

The selections are made by a panel of 32 coaches in weekly balloting. The impressive vie- · tory over Northwest Missouri was not included in the record upon which the panel based its decision. And, an impressive victory it was, indeed.

Maryville, a school of considerably greater size than Peru, belongs to the major college athletic associationthe NCAA. Going into the contest, they possed a fine 6-2 record and the Bobcat victory could possibly lift Peru even higher in future ratings

Bobcat fans knew that the contest would be a tough one. However, the Cats rose to the occasion. Although the local roundballers had only a limited practice after nearly a month of inactivity, they maintained the lead after 10 minutes of the game had elapsed.

Maryville failed to concede defeat, however, and employing a tenacious defense and a blistering offense, battled back to within four points with three minutes remaining in the contest. However, the seasoned Peruvians retained their poise and went into a semi-ball control pattern in the final moments to secure victory.

The Bobcats shot 40 percent for the night, connecting on 24 of OOattempts. The visitors hit only 30 percent for the contest. They hit on only 28 of 81 attempts. The big difference in the game was at the foul line. Peru made 28 of 44 gift tosses. Maryville only went to the charity stripe a total of 20 times, connecting on 15. Peru was led by scoring of sophomore forward Ananias Montague. He tallied 33 points in the contest to lead all scorers. He was 13 to 20 from the field and made good on 7 of 9 chances from the foul line. Leading scorers for the Missourians were Ken Whitney with 22 and Don Nelson with 14.

Montague was also Peru's top gun under the boards, grabbing 13 stray shots. Earl Brown contributed 9 and Nate Parks came awav with 8.

The Bobcat triumph was possibly even more impressive because it was accomplished without the aid of Larry Green. Green, Peru's leading scorer and rebounder, did not see action because of a bone fracture in his ankle.

Green received the injury in the first half of a game against UNO in mid-December. He did return to action in that contest but played only briefly as the Bobcats went on to lose their only game of the season. X-rays showed the injury to be a fracture and the foot was placed in a cast. The cast has been removed and he is expected to see action in the near future.

Tonight finds the Bobcats traveling to Kearney to do battle with the Kearney State An· I telopes. The Antelopes possess a 9·2 record and could give the Bobcats some trouble. The next home game for coach Jack Mcintire's crew will be at 7:30 p.m. on January 19 against Tarkio college.

Peru's Industrial Arts club made many children happy this Christmas. The donations of Nemaha county organizations and business firms allowed 185 toys to be distributed by the welfare department of Nemaha county, the Beatrice State home, and the action editor of the Omaha World-Herald.

Toys made by the club included model racers, pound-a-pegs, roll toys, busses and stilts. Four balance beams especially designed for handicapped children were given to the Beatrice State home. Labels which listed the don-t ors were designed and printed for each toy.: Those who contributed money and materials were the Peru Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 7299, Peru Volunteer Fire department~ Peru Kiwanis club, Peru Tuesday Literary club, Peru Wesleyan Service Guild, Student Wives club, Peru Building and Supply Company and the Mead Lumber Company of Auburn.

Ralph Brodie, vice-president of the IA Club, devoted many hours to the project.

Marvin Bartek helped glue push-toys together, part of the almost two hundred toys built.

5:J percent of these students. The survev was held to find out if the SGA should press for revision of the PSC Student Agreement. The results indicate that this is one thing the students v.ant

A sectir>n of the questionecr was provided for comments. One comment seemed to sum up the total situation at Peru State College. "Peru should revise their rules and bring them more in line with colleges whose enrollments are increasing every year, instead of in line with colleges whose enrollment is decreasing every year."

Women to Remain in Delzell

At the present time, it appears that Delzell Hall will continue Jo house women residents while the repair and redecoration of Morgan Hall is completed. Accordi!]g to :'.Vlr George Wendell, superintendent of buildings and grounds, "At the present time, it doesn't look like Morgan will be ready to be occupied this semester."

Morgan Hall has been undergoing extensive repair and redecoration work since late summer. The work being done in Morgan includes the installation of a completely new soft water system. new heating system in the old part of the dorm, several new tile floors in the basement, a new fire detection system, new fire escapes and extensive electrical rewiring. McKinney Construction Company of Lincoln is the contractor for the work. Mr Wendell's staff will take charge of the complete redecoration of the hall.

At whatever time Delzell Hall is vacated, repair work will begin on that dorm. Repairs in Delzell include all new corridor doors, new locks and hardware on all doors, new fire escapes and some redecoration work within the hall.

Club Promotes Voe Tee School

According to Dr. Vernon C. Siegner. Head of the Division of Practical Arts department, the Industrial Arts department is going all out to promote a Vocational Technical School in Peru. Included in their effort is a slide presentation demonstrating the advantages of Peru as a location.

Among these advantages are the facilities already available, Education' building, I.A. building. Dorms. student center, etc. The slides also po1nt out t'ha't there will be the neect tor z aoditional buildings, to be located behind the I.A. building, and two others. who~e locations are not yet de;;ided upon

The estimated cost of these four buildings and additional equipment is quoted as MU2.000.

SGA Continues Dorm Project

SGA inter-dorm committee met on January 18 with the members of the administrative council to discuss the establishment of inter-dorm visitation for the Peru campus. The committee presented three possible policies that could be used in the dorms.

eight new staff members the first year. and possibly ten the following year.

Spring Week

Help Needed

A conglomeration of events where students and faculty get to do their own thing is an opportunity called "Spring Week." Dances, coffeehouses, movies and even a faculty are just a few of the scheduled events.

Spring Week, April 25- May 1, is a week for everyone to have fun.

The student Center Board is asking for suggestions concerning Spring Week. ·'Any and all comments, critiques, ideas will be received with a true desire to make Spring Week the best \·et for the students of Peru State," according to Steve Long, SCB member.

Suggestions may be left at the Student Center office.

President Neal S. Gomon advised the committee that consideration would be given to the proposals.

At the present time the council of presidents, made up of the four state colleges (Chadron, Kearney, Wayne and Peru), have been requested by the board of trustees of the Nebraska state colleges to initiate studies of dormitory regulations now in effect and to recommend to the Board possible changes.

The changes, which could be implemented at all of the state colleges, would aid in prodiving a faily uniform set of regulations for all.

Wendell Moody Will Speak

Dr. Wendell A. Mordy, a distinguished environmental scientist and lecturer, will speak to PSC students and instructors at three lectured and discussions on February 15 and 16.

The tnpics of Dr. Mordy's lectures will range from the physical to the social aspects of the em·ironment, including a con vocational address , entitled "Heretics, Husksters. Hubris. Hippies, Holism and Happiness."

/\ complete listing of lecture tiUrs and scheduled times will be published in next week·s Ped.

Progress for Peru

Three things have happened recently that might be worth taking note of,

First· of an. the Student Governing Association .took a poll at registration, at which time 90 per cent of the enrolling students said that they thought there should be a change in the rules and regulations of this college.

Secondly. the president of the college, Dr. Neal s. Gomon, has sent the inter-dorm visitation proposal to the State Board for approval.

Thirdly, the president, Dr. Neal s. Gomon, has also announced that he is· giving a '' state of the college" 'speech during convocation period, Wednesday, February 10.

What does all of this mean? How can these !l,Ctions be related?

The students want change and think there is a need for change. That can be seen in the SGA poll.

At least one thing is in the process of being changed. Many students thought that inter-dorm visitation was a good idea, but not possible here~ With a great amount of effort it is in the forseeable future.

In his own way the president, Dr. Neal s. Gomon, is making an attempt to communicate with the students with his speech. This in itself is a change, for such a speech has never been presented before.

It will also give the students an opportunity to find out what the administrative view of the condition of the school is~

At this time it is not known if the students"' will be allowed to ask questions and if they can what type of questions will be permitted. It should be considered an honor just to find out what, if any, the administrative policies and goals are.

If ·the students are interested in their college they can do three things. One, make their feelings on inter-dorm visitation known to the State Normal Board. Two, attend the special convocation, Wednesday, February 17. Three, continue working for change incollegepolicies.

Change in general* changing college policies specifically* is most of the time, a slow process. In time, with a lot of work, this change can be seen.. JOAN

Editor of the Ped; We would like to thank all of the organizations and individuals who so thoughtfully helped us during and after our fire.

Dear Editor: On the morning of January 26, I arrived at the Fine Arts building at 6:15 a.m. There, I waited to draw a time card for registration. Thirty minutes later, I witnessed quite a spectacle. The crowd, anxious to draw early cards, surged and swamped the man who attempted to distribute the passes to an easily accomplished registration. Somehow, this seems a bit unnecessary. It would seem that there must be an easier, simpler, and more effective method than the ''who ever pushes the most gets first time card." Perhaps, the "essential" time cards could first be distributed to the student advisors. Or, perhaps classes could be scheduled by a computer, as was done in my high school.

Then again, maybe the best way would be to gather the entire student body together beneath the campus gym. Then, one could drop the bundle of time cards into the crowd. One could fight to grab the earliest time card. Barbaric yes, but it would be a subtle change.

Incidently, it is written on my schedule of classes that time cards would be distributed Tuesday morning at 7:00 a.tn. By 7:00 a.m. the cards had been long gone.

Michael L. Kelly

President Gomon to sign this proposal.

As of this time, nothing has been decided; according to a member of the SGA. Somehow the matter remains on mv mind' It seems to be a situation with conflict of desires.

Before Christmas, I attended a Presidents Council meeting. There Dr. Scherer informed those attending that Peru State College was in financial trouble. To save Peru from possible bankcruptcy and a permanent shut-down, he requested that a new· program be introduced to make Peru better known. A good deal of this program consisted of the Peru students informing prospective college students of the advantages of Peru. This brought about the comments from some students and I should add, two members or'the faculty. One questioned the conspicious absence of President Gomon. He also questioned the aim of this program, whether it be ""truthhoods or falsehoods?"

This leads me to a point. l, the administration needs the support of the student body to remain open. 2, to gain the admiration of the students, they must "give" a little. 3, the intradorm proposal is a perfect way to tell the students that they are respected and trusted. It is also a costless way to grant something to the students, and gain their help in the project to help this college.

Many students feel quite hostile toward the administration for other various reasons, such as: womens hours complex shut-down, off-campu~ mfrmgement of rights, etc. Feeling this way, these students can not be expected to go out and "sell PERU."

The administration seems to want to keep a tight hold on their students. This way will only end in a mass exodus from this school by an embittered group of former Peruvians.

suspectful of each othei President Gomon, it is up to yotf It is open to you to make the firs , move by signing the intra-dor ·· proposal and let the · dorm councils decide which of th ' three alternatives they prefer'' Reject' this proposal, and yoti' reject the students as bein ' adults. ''

Marines Are_ Coming

With· the number of main~ tenance men Peru employs, it often seems as though someone is holding down unemployment figures.

Most of President Gomon's remarks are to be ased on the probabl~ fi$Cal support of the colege for the coming year. When the date of .February 17 was selected, it was believed there would be meaningful information available on that date. It now appears this information will not be available until after the next meeting f the board of trustees of the Nebraska state colleges, scheduled for March 8.

The board will be faced with many decisions .affecting all colleges at the March 8 meeting and any discussion of the future directions of Peru State College prior to the board meeting would be premature, the president explained.

At an honors' convocation on February 10 in the college a1,1ditorium, 160 sJudent of Peru State College were recognized for having attained high grades averaging 7.25 or above for first semester.

Seven students received PT A scholarships of $125 each, according to Dr. Keith L. Melvin, dean of the college.

PTA scholarship winners are Stanley Gottula, Elk Creek; Maureen Hauptman, Peru; Muriel Jensen, Bennett; Judy Peterson, Peru; Sharon Simacek, Milligan; Gail Thies, Crab Orchard, and Karen Thormahlen, Nebraska City.

Those whose names appeared on the honor. roll, according to Dean Melvin are the following: Janet Auxier, Dawson; Charles Bachle, Auburn; James Beatty, Peru; Ralph Becknlan, Plattsmouth; Margaret Bennett, Council Bluffs; Sara Beran, Louisville; Linda Berger, Falls City; Daisy Berry, Thurman, Iowa; Jean Blair, Creston, Iowa; Phyllis Bodie,Peru; Ivan Bohlken, Talmage; Dorothy Bond, Malvern, Iowa; Anna Borcher, Steinauer; Virginia Bourlier, Humboldt; Katherine Boyle, Bellevue; Gwendolyn Bragan, Peru; Rodrick Bruce, St. Paul, and Aline Bryson, Wymore.

Publi n

The Pedagogian will not be published next week, it was an-' nounced Wednesday. ·

Phil C. Knisell, advisor told members of The Pedagogian staff that publication of the student newspaper will be discontinued until suitable working conditions for the staff are assured. He intimated that more than one issue might be involved.

Another calss has been scheduled in Ed 218, The Pedagogian office and workroom, making the room inaccessible to staff members at an hour when it is needed in order to work on the newspaper.

The advisor explained that Ed 218 was set up last year by journalism students as an office workroom. This was done with the approval of the college administration. The students worked hard to fix up an office. They were happy to have a place to work and ignored the cracked plaster, the peeling paint and the water-stained window shades, Knisell pointed out.

The first semester of this year, the staff could not use the room because of its use by science and math class while the Science building was being remodeled. This was unavoidable and understandable, the advisor said. But now with other classrooms availa_ble in the building for other classe~, the newspaper staff is not gomg to suffer the indignity and inconvenience of not having free and open access to its office, he concluded.

Most Peru Students Opposed lo New Final Exam Schedules

By CHERYL PATERA

In past years there has been a week set aside at the end of each semester for final examinations. The schedules were set up so ' that the finals would be spaced as far ap.art as possible, to ac• commodate the many hours of necessary studying that preceed each test.

However, because of the wide range of differences in the class schedules, there were always a few who had many tests on one day, or there were some whose test were spread out that they were left with much spare time on their hands.

This semester the college adopted a new system for examination week, in hopes of trying to make final week more desirable for the students and the teachers.' Instead of a set final week, where two-hour finals were given, ~egular class

schedules were maintained and finals were given at that time.

If an instructor wished to give a two-hour final, this was done over two one-hour class periods. An exception was -one evening scheduled to accommodate the classes which had many sections, such as history or English. In this way an instructor had to give only one test at one time instead of several spread out over a week or so.

In taking a survey of ·the student body's opinion on this new final examination system, many mixed feelings were found.

It was found that some students were in favor of the new test schedule either because their classes were spread out enough that it offered no problem to them or that their teachers had chosen not to give tests, and if they did they would make them shorter and not call

them final exams. The tests would be like any other chapter .test the students had taken. throughout the semester. However, those students who were in favor of the new system were in the minority. It was discovered that a majority of the students were in opposition to the newly adopted system, and· they had several reasons to back their opinions.

The most wideJy.found reasons for the opposition was that many students had three oi' · four major tests, one right after the other on the same day. This made it very hard to study · properly for each one and the student was forced to choose the one which was most important to him.

Another reason was that with the old testing system the final schedules were out in circulation several weeks in advance so that a student could start planning

'' Sell Peru 11 Could Become Feasible

Concerning Dr. Thomas Scherer's "sell Peru" progrqm. we, along with a number of others, students and faculty, found ourself in a perplexing situation. Could we honestly attempt to· promote Peru to future college students while feeling animosity toward the present policies?

When one hears every day from both students and faculty on air of discontent, then one wonders what is going on.

We do face a financial crisis whereby the concept of "selling Peru,, could be a solution. But the question of selling what, remains in mind.

In light of the recent poll conducted by the SGA, whereby 440 out of a total of 489 participating, were not satisfied with the present rules and regulation, this writer again asked himself, "Sell what?"

In an attempt to remain optimistic, Dr. Scherer's "sell

Peru" concept could work if some plausible action could be taken to improve the present conditions.

The SGA, limited in its powers, has attempted to reach the students' needs, but it is apparent that the SGA have run into the question of who has the power.

Someone must be kidding himself if he thinks that · everything is rosy on the Peru-State campus.

It will be interesting to hear President Gomon's "State of the College" address, as to the present condition of the college. From here we should be able to see that something is wrong and that a solution must be found in order to improve the present conditions,

This would enable Dr. Scherer's: plan to be carried out.

Students Offered Two Scholarships

Applications for the $50 Janet Ganzel scholarship and the $100 Clayburn scholarship are now being taken by Dr. George Schottenhamel, head of the history and social science departments.

The Janet Ganze! scholarship, established in memory of Janet Ganze!, former Peru student, is given to any member of the Peru State Social Science Society. The scholarship is based on need and preference is given to next year's seniors.

The Clayburn scholarship was established in memory of Professor A.B. Clayburn who was in the geography and social science departments. This scholarship is given to a junior who will be a senior next year

More information and application forms for these scholarships may be obtained from Dr. Schottenhamel.

' It was also found that a few students were upset with the night- final which has been set up, saying that it was unfair to take up one of their nights when students who didn't have those classes did not have to report for a night final. However, if they do no! remember correctly, with

Students Air Views On Visitation Proposal

difors note: Tile following ments are not neccessariiy views of the Pedagogian. The n of women, Miss Juanita dler, was asked if she would to .offer any comments for Jication. She declined to ment.

ile awaiting word from the inistration, The Pedagogian ucted a student poll to rmine the students' feelings the proposed inter-dorm ation.

---4111""'.~Approximately 25 percent of I students interviewed refused ' answer or give their names. ost of these were girls, and

dorm residents. The following is a random sampling of replies when asked if they were in facor of interdorm visitation.

Jane Price, freshman, Omaha: "They ought to 1et them.''

Ron Booe. junior. Fairbury: "Students should be allowed to interact freely as a part of the education process, and I believe inter-dorm visitation is one of the best ways to accomplish this freedom on interaction."

Jerry Neeman, sophomore, Syracuse: "The more they try to

hold back on it, the worse student-administration relations are going to get."

Peg Severin, freshman, Princetion: "It would be the same as lhing at home to invite people in to your room .li,ds going together would stay here on weekends."

Joe Tackett, senior, Tabor, Iowa: ''Look at Simpson college. Their president said that dormitory life has changed little for most students. Moral soared at the Methodist-affiliated college.

Living on a farm, when the chickens go to roost, they are locked in so they can't get out."

Steve Greenarnyer, freshman,

Nebraska City: "After all, people have to get together sometime. Can't go out every night, costs a little bit of money."

Bany Silverstein. junior, Brooklyn, New York: "It's outta sight, It's great.''

Roger Schofield, freshman, Hamburg, Iowa: "The library and Bob Inn are getting crowded."

Terri Fink, freshman, Elk Creek: "The real issue is not the inter-<lorm visitation, but the trust the administration has in the students, if any."

Ralph Reed, senior, Nebraska City: "Anything but complete

inter-dorm visitation would be juvenile. Such practices as sign ;in sheets, restricted days, and hall monitors are of grade school vintage. The leaders of this campus must realize that we must progress to survive; it is a matter of dollars and sense."

Wally Sirenko, fresh.man, Cleveland, Ohio: "The sooner the better. It is time we are regarded as young adults."

Doug Roberts, sophomore, Nebraska City: "IT will allow people to get together in an atmosphere other than that of the Boo Inn or lounge, making it easier to study or just relax."

SGA Solidly Behind Policy

Peru's Student Governing association is solidly behind the inter-dorm visitation proposal, according to a statement issued this week by Diana Schneider, SGA president.

The SGA voted unanimously to support inter-dorm visitation, she said, because the members felt this best served the students' interest. When asked what percentage of students were for the proposal, Miss Schneider explained that of the 300 students asked, it was a rarity to find someone against it.

As to the administration's position on the proposal, Miss Schneider stated, "President Gomon gave no indication of his official position on inter-dorm visitation." She added that President Gomon is a fair man and will weigh the facts relevant to all pertinent information and render a decision of fairness and impartiality.

"President Gomon," she added, "submitted the three plans of inter-dorm visitation proposed by the SGA to the board of trustees." ·

The board of trustees took action on the proposals by submitting them to the student affairs committee. The student affairs committee is to investigate all the pros and cons of inter-dorm visitation with representatives of Kearney, Wayne and Chadron. Dr. Clyde Barrett, Dean Guy Rosenberg and Dr. Rex Shelley are representing Peru State College on this committee.

"If we· ge·t inter-dorm visitation it will indicate that the administration and the state governing board view the student body of Peru State College as mature adults to accept the responsibilities of inter-dorm visitation," Miss Schneider concluded.

nte·r-Dorm Visitation Means less Privacy for Student Residents

·

By MARGARET M. TY~ON

Peru State has long been too rmissive. Tough goodness it 'eeds'. Tough goodness it should lave.

~Nebraska taxpay-ers are JlUring money into higher ucation at a rate that hurts. ey expect and demand more an corrupt minds and morals.

l Students are demanding inter~rm visitations. But do they 'eally realize what they are manding? College students · l «ted more privacy instead of.

l

less. Think how men run around men's dorms. Girls, think how g.irls run around girls' dorms. Now, the opposite sex has visitation rights. Think what that will do to your privacy and your privileges!

!tis tough enough to deal with temptation in a controlled environment. To ignore temptation is ridiculous. God made the passions in man strong for the purpose of continuing the human race. He also set the guidelines for these strong sexual urges and desires. Right choices do not end with youth. They plague

man to the grave. This makes the familv the oldest and most important institution of all. rt is society's most basic unit. Entire civilizations have survived or disappeared. depending on whether family life was strong or weak.

Easy divorces have weakened American family life. Children of divorced couples have been hurt the worst. The birth control pill handed out to unmarried coeds is asking for irresponsibility. Counselors who give information and addresses of the ubortion butcher are asking for

irresponsibility.

Youth is not to blame. People in education who corrupt youth are not worthy of their paychecks. People who teach men to break the commandments are ranked the lowest in the kingdom of heaven. "But whoever obeys and teaches the law, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."

Moderns think as they choose right or wrong they are doing something very "hep" or new.

Mary ·Magdalene had many husbands and many sex affairs besides her marital ones. Christ came into her life and she began

to pursue goodness instead of sin. No one was happier over the transition than Mary Magdalene. She is now honored as St. Mary Magdalene.

In one class a college youth was heard to moan, "I'm sick of sex and booze. Everyone at Peru thinks of nothing else." This young man put his finger on the trouble. Let's give students a healthy environment in which to study and grow and pursue their aptitudes and abilities. Let's give them a chance at a good education that will make a strong, good American.

Symphonette To Play February 23

Dr. Gilbert E. Wilson, director of the college band will conduct the symphonette concert at 8 p.m.' Tuesday, February 23 in the college auditorium.

Selections to be presented are "First Symphony" (the first movement) by Beethoven; "Academic Festival Overture" by Johannes Brahms· "March Procession of Bacchus" by · Delibes·' "Five Courtly Dances from Gloriana" by Ben]amin Britten; and "Jass Pizzicato" be

Leroy Anderson. · There are SO members in the symphonette. They live in various areas of southeast Nebraska. Some of the group members attend Peru State College as students and some members are on the college faculty. Others are

doctors, ministers and businessmen. There are also two band directors.

This is the first year for the symphonette as an organization. It is the only group in the area, as the closest group like the symphonette practicing is in Beatrice.

None of the members receive payment for participating. The group is simply recreational and amateur.

"The organization's purpose is to benefit the players by giving them other members to meet with to perform and to entertain the public in various communities in the Nebraska area," Dr. Wilson explained.

In the future the members hope to present more concerts.

Voe Tech Request Before Unicameral

Peru State College has a request pending before the Nebraska state legislature for a Vocational technical school to join the current facilities at Peru. According to Dr. Neal S. Gomon, president, the proposal, if accepted, would begin in the fall sern ester of 1971.

The two-year programs would include : accounting tecnnology, secretarial-clerical, carpentry technology, distrLbutive education, cabinet making, auto mechanics, and midmanagement technology. All these would be under the division of practical arts, Dr_ Gomon said.

The plan calls for 16 new instructors within two years, an

additional building. The total ·cost would be approximately $677,700. This cost also includes the air-conditioning of. the Industrial Arts building, according to the president.

The courses would start as two-year programs and eventually be expanded to three and four-year programs. These courses would be credit earning, Dr. Gomon added.

As a result of Dr. John Jensen's attendance at workshops at Olathe, Kan., Peru will receive a government grant of approximately. $6,000. to initiate a material Jab on campus. The lab would be used in teacher education programs and in establishing workshops for inservice teachers.

The workshops at Olathe are training programs for public schools and colleges. Programs are concerned with prescriptive education for learning disabilities. It differs from special education. Children with learning disabilities have average or above average intelligence. They do have a disability in perception visual or auditory.

There are seven programs ask as a nucleus for the future expanded program. There are three areas in trade and industries. They are: auto mechanics, carpentry and cabinet making. There are four courses in busfoess office educational areas, They are: accounting, secretarial-clerical, distributive education and mid-. management technology. All are two year programs. There would probably be need for eight new instructors the first year.

There are students in this area that have a great need for such instruction. It would not interfere with other schools of the same nature.

The student would have Peru State status. They could be in the athletic, music, art or drama programs. They would live as college students and earn credits as college students. They would be the same as the academic students socially.

Richard Munson To Give Recital

A voice recital will be presented at 3 p.m. Sunday, February 14, by Richard Munson, a senior music major from Lehigh, Iowa. He will perform in the Benford Recital hall, Jindra Fine Arts building. Munson will be accompanied by Doug Kottich, a junior piano major.

Selections will be Italian and German art and opera songs, two oratorio numbers. The program will be completed with three light numbers sung in English.

The cast has been chosen for Blithe Spirit, a play by Noel Coward, which will be presented at 8 pm. on March 11 and 12 in the college auditorium, according to James F. Dunlavy, director.

Pat Castle is the assistant director and the cast members are Jullee Tillman, Edith; Patti Lewis, Ruth; Mark Hahn, Charles; John Thomas, Dr. Bradman; Barb Pollicky, Mrs Bradman; Connie Morrison, Madame Arcati, and Donna Williams, Elvira.

Blithe Spirit is about a man who wants to write a book on the supernatural life. The setting is the home of a modern writer. He is rather successful. It could take place anywhere in today's world.

In ordei: to continue with his studies, a seance is held. As a result, his first wife reappears, but no one sees or hears her except him. This creates much conflict and friction. There seems to be a love triangle between himself and his former and present wives.

"This is a very modern version of the play," Dunlavy commented.

Ninteen Interns NJmed for Fall

Nineteen Peru students have been tentativelly approved for the intern teachers' program by the teacher education committee for the 1971-1972 school year.

The new program, under supervision of co-ordinator Dr. Robert C. Creamer and head of the division of education Dr. Rex R. Shelly, was started in elementary education in Lincoln during the 1969-1970 school year.

This year the program has ·been expanded to include those planning to teach in secondary education.

A small salary is alloted to each student in this program.

The following students have been approved for the program for the next school year: Karen Sell, Ray Waters, Vicki Hall Chander, Mary Dunlay, Dan Fernbacher, Sue Harpham,.

Students Favor May Fete Ba II

Last week students filled out, saw, or threw away a questionnaire asking; if they wanted a May Fete ball, if they would attend the May Fete Ball, and if they wanted a formal or semi-formal May Fete ball.

Results showed that 82 per cent of the students wanted a May Fete ball; 81 per cent would attend the May Fete ball, and 74 per cent preferred to have a semi-formal May Fete ball. From this interest shown the Student Center Board now knows what the students want and will then schedule the May Fete Ball as a semi-formal dance on April 25 with a contemporary band.

The Wrong Way

Super-Levitt Saves Day!

By STEVE LONG

There they were, a full house to see a Matt Helm movie in the FA auditorium on February 9.

The clock rolled arowtd to 7:30 (starting time), cameras on, but where was the film? Ah! The film was lost in the mail, was the word and the company was sending another by jet to arrive at 8:30.

But how to pacify the crowds.

Lone Ranger and Tonto were riding down the line but someone must have told them everything was fine. No Tonto, no Lone Ranger, not even Rin Tin Tin to help! Then suddenly someone thought of Peru's answer to all these combined, J.D. Levitt.

"The J.D. Levitt beam" was sent.to the sky and suddenly, no, not from a telephone booth, but from his office came Peru's answer to Orson Wells, J.D. Levitt.

Quickly, without hesitation to life or liberty, James D. Levitt

Initiates, Elects Meanderings

secured from his files two superior films which he had recently taken.

Now it was 8 o'clock and nothing, a go-go dancer, no nothing could have pacified the crowds; nothing except a special showing of J.D. Levitt's exclusive films of Hqmecoming and orators.

At 8:30 the "Matt Helm" arrived and was shown to a mpc,b,._ larger crowd now. The ~d"'had gotten around that J.D. Levitt's films were being shown.

The SCB would like to take this opportunity to thank J.D. Levitt for his cooperation and willingness to thank the students for their cooperation and patience and to assure the students that proper steps have been taken with the film company to avoid this sitµation again, according to Jan Axdahl, SCB president.

Phi Beta Lambda initiated 17 new members and elected officers for the 1971-72 school year on February 2.

Elected for next year were Ted Johnson, president; Armon Neilson, vice president; Ruth Read, secretary; Kathy Runkles, treasurer; and Sharon Moser, historian.

TI1e club's annual auction is scheduled for 7 p.m., Thursday; February 18. The auction will be held in the college gym. The club donates 25 per cent of the auction proceeds to the Peru Achievement Foundation.

The other club item of special interest is the state. convention. The convention will be held at Peru the weekend of April 22-24. One of the convention highlights will be the appearance. of the national president, Lonnie Kvasnicka from Kansas State Teachers college. The club will hold a ·special meeting Tuesd3¥, February 16, to make final plans for the auction and discuss the convention. Annual pictures will be taken at the meeting.

After reading about the proposed vocational tech school sought for Peru, this writed doubted that any possible value to this campus would be found. However, stop to consider\ that an additional two or three hundred students could mean a re-opening of the complex cafeteria. Everyone realizes costs, and in turn should realize why the small cafeteria was closed. No one can be expected to be joyful over the many blocks of walking required to eat meals. Only numbers can provide facilities, and new students supply both needs. Hopefully, the administration will be assured of sufficient funds to supply the required training of incoming vocational students. Countless times teachers of this institution have been heard complaining about the alck of monetary support by this state. As students and faculty, let us hope that the yru;.a.ti!l.nal school will alleviate problems, rather than amplify the problems of today. ·

Uladron February 5 an"ft 6, 1971, Peru will need more guts to beat Kearney Saturday than the ability they have' shown on occasion. Kearney needs a victory to have any hope in the conference. What does Peru salvage? Try a little hm't pride, an improvement on no wins, four losses.

The sidewalk leading to .the Bob Inn is becoming dangerom, in that melting ice always manages to create more ice to slip on the next day. As of press ~time, n o fatalities have been reported.

Mid-Winter Trip to Chadron An Experience

By JOAN BACHENBl<;Kli

Atrip from Peru to Chadron is quite an affair, and a challenge, sometimes harrowing. This author knows.

First of all came the decision to make the trip. Five students, including two cheerleaders, planned to attend the two basketball games against Chadron State at Chadron.

Invited to go along to cover the game for The Ped, I answei:ed in the affirmative for two reasons.

First of all, I went to see the scenery. Secondly, I went to get a first-band report of. a Peru away basketball game.

The report of the basketball games is on another page. This is an attempt to have an objective report to give a prelude to the trip, the trip itself, the stay and coming home.

Just leaving Peru was a miracle. After it was decided that there was going to be a trip, it snowed. And snowed. The driver was John Tritsch. He confirmed the weather report of fair weather and the trip was on.

The two cheerleaders who were planning on going couldn't make it ·and suddenly the trip was off. Then at the last minute, it was "on" again. We were on our way by 8:30 a.m. Friday. The others going were Ralph Reed and Joe Tackett.

The drive was a long one, especially between Peru and Lincoln. The roads were snow packed and icy. We only slid into a ditch once, which was enough. The streets in Lincoln were especially bad. Once on the Interstate, the going was easier.

Entertainment was a must, so in Nebraska City a stop was made to pick up a euphonium, in addition to a trumpet. Ralph and Joe took turns playing the euphonium (kind of like a baritone or french horn) much of the way. In addition to the instrument, reading ma·terial consisting of an astronomy book and a paperback of Art Buchwald's columns provided diversion. On the way back there was also a Shakespeare text. Also, jokes (sometimes not the cleanest in nature) and puns were related.

As the entertainment varied, so did the scenery. Toe hills around Peru dissolved into plains. After a brief mid-<lay fillup of gas and the noon meal in Grand Island, the trip resumed. We left the fnterslate and continued on Highway 2.

The plains gradually turned :nto gently rolling hills. The

towns grew sma11er anct further apart. Many of the towns had no more than two or three buildings. Farming became less prominent, ranching more so.

Ranchers must have a desire for isolation and privacy. A ranch house is seldom seen from the highway. The only indication thal there is someone living in the vicinity is a sign, or possibly a group of signs, pointing to something between two ruts and a dirt road, stating that the "Smiths" live five miles in that direction.

Cars were also a rarity. We · sometimes went for 20 Sir 30 miles and saw only two or three cars.

Signs on bridges over low areas in the ground informed us that we were going over with a "muddy creek" or a "dry stream.'· We passed over about eight "muddy creeks."

As we passed Halsy, one section of the Nebraska National Forest, we could still see the damage that had been done by a forest fire seven or eight years ago. This forest, by the way, is one of the largest-man-made forests in this country.

Trees were sparse. Yucca catus could be seen along side the road through the sand hills.

By this time, it was late afternoon /MST). We found our way into the office of a Mr Don Duncan. He was just getting ready to leave, but helped us to find a place to stay in the dorms.

The dorms we stayed in were new. The boys dorm connected the girls dorm by a breezeway which remained open until between 11 :30 p.m. and midnight. Hours for the girls were 2:30 a.m. Friday night.

My dorm was an 11-story highrise. Each room had a sink and two rooms shared a toilet and shower. Storage space, closets and chest of drawers were built in. The desks had bookshelves and lights built in. Both beds and desks could be moved.

Each floor had a lounge and a study room. Space was then available for either socializing or privacy.

After moving into the dorm, only a little time was left before the game. Dinner was composed of hamburgers. Then we proceeded immediately to the game. , The gym at Chadron is new. Its bleachers are pulled out from against the walls, not at all like the planks at Peru. Nor are the sidelines up next to the bleachers.

A good-sized crowd turned out for the game. Chadron, like Peru, doesn't have much in the way of a pep club. The only cheer the boosters knew was "Two Bits" and when the school fight song was played, they stood · up and clapped. I got the impression that no one knew the words.

After the game we took a pretty thorough tour of downt0\'.11 Chadron. It has numerous bars and liquor stores, plus two banks, grocery stores, drug stores, hardware stores, clothing stores, a movie theater, gas stations, a couple of hotels and an outdoor movie.

Between 10:30 and 11 a.m. the next morning we were on our way for a side trip to the Black Hills. As we neared the Black Hills, both the altitude and the trees increased. The gentle rolling plains became hills.

We stopped for mnch in Hot Springs, South Dakota. Across the street from the cafe was a hot spring with ducks, goldfish and steam.

Wind Cave National park was next on our list of sights to see. \\-11ile dri.-ing through we saw buffalo and antelope. We also had to stop for a herd of mules that had walked on to the highway. They walked right up to the car and looked in the windows. The roads curved a great deal. In many places the speed limit was about 40 mph, which meant that we went about 30 mph because of patches of ice. The scenery was breathtaking. Hills, valleys and streams covered with a blanket of snow provided an excellent backdrop for the dark pines. Many of the guard railings were made out of logs. In someplaces -trees were growing out of rocks. We finally reached our destination, Mt. Rushmore. Not even the wind or cold could diminish its impact.

The trip back to Chadron was not quite so leisurely for we had another basketball game to go to. We did stop briefly, however, at the Crazy Horse monument

that is bemg carved out moW1tain.

Back in Chadron we supper and walked to the for the game. The weather turning much colder.

We were on the road bac about 9:30 a.m. On the way only stops made were gasoline. One stop was ma an authentic sod house alon side of the highway. Ralph took a couple of pictur Chimney Rock, Other reading was the entertain

Bye-Bye, Kansas City!

It's all over but the shouting as Chadron State college eliminated Peru State's chance of claiming the Nebraska College Conference championship and thus an NAIA tournament berth.

The local crew travelled to Chadron for a weekend double header and returned to the Campus of a Thousand Oaks with two more losses and a solid grip on the NCC cellar position.

With the wins, Chadron secured at least a tie for first place in the conference. It supports a 4--0 conference record to lead Kearney and Wayne with identical 2-2 marks.

The Bobcats, supporting a fine 13-6 overall record, have been unable to claim a victory in four league outings.

The February 6 game was a cliff-hanger all the way. The Bobcats held the lead throughout the contest until the closing moments. However, Chadron scored when it counted and captured a 65-62 victory.

The Cat's scoring was more balanced in that game with Green once again leading the way with 19 points. Guard Clyde Wilkens· scored 14 times with· Montague and Nate Parks contributing 10 each in the losing cause.

Peru has five contests remaining, with three home and two on the road. Tomorrow night the Bobcats host Keaney State college in a rematch game at 7:30 p.m. in the college gym. Peru dropped an earlier fray with the Kearney crew.

new lighting was installed, ceilings lowered

By MIKE SUMMERS

The Peru State :Science building has been the object of a $150,000 remodeling program this past summer and first semester. The ceilings were lowered, all new plumbing was installed, fire walls were placed and a new central clock systern was installed. In addition a sprinkler system was placed through-out the building. A unique function of the fire protection and warning system which was required installed in the building to meet state regulations are electric doors which in the event of a fire automatically swing shut effectively helping to avoid fire nurturing drafts.

Looking under one of. the sinks this reporter cam1:: across some of the new plumbing pipes and was curious to learn that they were all made of pyrex - a transparent heat and acid resisting glass. This will cut corrosion appreciably which helped to clog up the previous plumbing. An added benefit will be that plugged pipes will easily be located by simply removing the false ceiling and sighting

down the pipes.

Another welcome renova in the building was remodeling and installatio new fixtures in the restro Hot water was also installe The building did not have it the past.

Immediate plans include purchase of all new furnit new and new coverings for entire bull by next year.

Long range plans include ding an additwn to the buil itself on the Hoyt street side. observatory is also scheduled a complete renovation with addition of a new telescope. present telescope is one of 1 century vintage. Until that ti Astronomy classes will have use of a new portable teles which is much finer than the in the observatory now.

Dr. Christ says that if he to pick the one improv that he appreciated most would be the new lighti system in the class rooms. deed those who have had clas in the Science building bef really appreciate the brigh rooms and its more chee atmosphere.

The remodeling began with a plan to provide better facilities.

Controversy about publication arose last week over a conflict concerning designation of the newspaper office for a classroom assignment.

How do you go about making 108 pounds of fruit cake? Mrs Kregel says they used 1our groups of girls working in four kitchens and each group made one fourth of the recipe. They repeated the process.

The new program differs from the old in that it emphasizes the practice of journalistic technique, rather than the teaching of journalism. According to Dr. Clyde Barrett, head, division of language arts, the new diversification of PSC programming is an attempt to satisfy the student who hopes to enter the field of journalism in a non-teaching capacity. These students will delve into areas of business, practical arts, management, speech and English, as well as journalism. Required for the program are Beginning Journalism, Newspaper Editing and Advanced Journalism, as well as 24

It offers a functional studv of present air wave communications and hopes to include possible future means of communications systems.

Internship in Journalism is an on-the-job study of the various aspects of journalism, including technical knowledge and creative expertise. Interns will be placed in paid positions as part-time employees of several co-operating area newspapers. The tasks which they are to perform will vary so that they may learn as much as possible during their one semester internship. Aside from being paid, interns will receive college credits for their work. Internships can also be completed in the summer.

Co-ed Named Peru 'Glamour Girl' $800 Burglary

Jerelean (Fears) Mitchell has been named Peru Glamour Girl in the second annual Glamour magzine contest held at the college the first two weeks of February.

Mrs Mitchell was chosen from a field of six girls by a faculty panel. One girl was named by each department. The other girls in the contest were Sandy Otte, Lynn Watson, Donna Williams, Susan Harpham, and Sylvia Tyler. To assist the judges in their choice, each girl submitted a brief resume of her accomplishments at PSC.

Mrs Mitchell has been active at PSC through the following activities: SGA dorm representative dorm counselor, Home Economics club president, Student Wives club, student advisor on the financial aid committee, member, of the donn council, member of the President's Counsel committee of Peru State College. Along with this list of activities Jerelean had to submit an essay of 250 words describing her involvement and achievements in campus and community life.

Mrs Mitchell is now a finalist in the national contest held by Glamour magazine. Ten outstanding college girls will be chose as winners and will receive a two-week educational lour to Europe. national recognition in the August issue of Glamour and in newspapers throughout the country, photographs taken by leading fashion photographers, and the opportunity to be a campus

During the Kearney-Peru game Saturday evening between 7and 9 burglars let themselves into two rooms with a master key in Majors hall men's dormitory and· stole an estimated $800 worth of electronic equipment and earners from residents.

Dr. Guy L. Rosenberg, dean of students and Malaetasi Togafau, president of Majors hall, called a special meeting of the residents on February 15 to inform them of the situation. It appeared that a master key had been taken from one of the resident assistants during an intramural game a week prior to.. the Saturday robbery, and that the college was unable to locate the key. Thinking it would be advisable to "lay in wait" for the thief to make his move and catch him in the act, officials decided to withold the knowledge that the key was missing.

According to Dean Rosenberg, the taking of over $100 in merchandise constitutes "grand larceny." It is punishable by a $500 fine and-or 2-5 years in prison. To give the burglars a chance, because, as Dean Rosenberg put it they might not know the seriousness of the crime, they would be allowed to turn themselves in by noon Tuesday with the only fear of reprisal being college action against them. As of 12:01 p.m. Tuesday, however, state •of-· ficials would be called in to assist in the investgation of the crime.

Jane Frerichs and Diane Schramm mold mints that will be served at the Martha Washington Tea.

Editor

Dear Editor

A ·1etter ·to the •di tor is a strange phenom• enon. A letter according to the consulte.d dictionary is defined as a written symbol representing a speech. A letter to the editor is a strange phenomenon because it is not lit· erally intended for the editor but is intended as a communication to the reading public.

The situation in which an individual places himself to voice his opinions to a reading public is a perplexing one. An individual is wil•· ling t,o take the risk ·of perhaps saying some• thing not exactly correct but at least is willing .to say it for the improvement of his community. Assuming then the qualities of a writer of a letter to the editor it would follow that ·that individual· was a concerned individ· ual for the improvement of his community, an individual with enough initiative to exer• ,cise a basic ,constitutional right, a human being, and an individual who is not perfect by that fact.

Do · we need these types of individuals on the Peru State campus? Assuming Peru State College 1s not perfect, that being that improvement is needed as in all things, then it must be concluded that this college needs peo· ple who are willing to attempt t,o improve the college community. It seems essential that one who is willing t,o take the initiative of expressing oneself for the improvement of his community Should first be thanked for trying to improve the college community. After thanking him, secondly, it is the respon$i· billty of concerned people to either "courteously'' agree or disagree with the opinions expressed by the individual.

It is hoped the college community knows all the factors that involve a letter to the edi· tor and will accept the responsibilities of both being a writer of a letter to the editor and a reader of a letter to the edtror.

STEVE LONG

Closing Scenes of Act II

In these days of conflict and turmoil on college campuses across the cot;ntry, frequent contradictions of ethical, economic and educational values are commonplace rather than the exceptio~ Peru State has suffere_d its fair share of hard knocks over the pa.st three years and still keeps "rolling along."

To talk about one more defeat of integrity and principle is useless, but to forget about it is infamy. Let it be resolved, to the faculty and administration, that we of the senior class will never forget what we have seen and experienced here at Peru State. To play up the bad and ignore the good aspects of our college is to be cheap. However, we owe it to ourselves and our posterity to stand up and be counted when issues arise that mean the difference between decency and barbarism.

The time will fly by rapidly for us all now as we crawl out from under the grip of a tough winter. As students, we are in the closing scenes of Act II in the drama of our lives. If the signs of the times read true, the next act will be even more tumultuous than the past has been.

Let's ''get it all together" one more time and try to help Peru State move from whereever it is now, solidly into the 70's. If we all push for progress, and let the administration know that' we mean what we say, Peru State can also be. a good experience for the future generations to come.

Meanderings

By JOHN VICKERS

Did you hear the one about $6!IO in merchandise stolen from a student's room last Saturday night? It seems that the door was locked and certain criminals had a master key. The student informs this writer that the administration people were aware of this key. However, this student could not protect his personal property, because the --.. administration might not be able to catch the thief or thieves. By keeping secret that they key was out, it would be possible to catch , and prosecute, before any items were stolen. It sure sounded like · a great idea. Maybe next year fellas!!!!.

The rumor is that we have a security patrol in the dorms. ~veryone has heard this, and ·nany are laughing aloud. The mQtives are fine, but are the results?

A writer for The Ped informed us that the intercom does not work on the second floor of

Delzell hall. Unfortunately his girl does not live on first or third floor. To arms, Maintenance! +++

This writer would like to go on record as thinking that Peru State can be sold to students. Every campus has problems, and few have less than Peru. This college has endured more than 100 years without being perfect, and can endure indefinitely with help.

We as students came to this college, because of educational or financial advantages. To sell Peru it shouldn't be important to overlook the shortcomings, or amplify the qualities. Tell it like it is, objectively, and eventually the bad isn't quite as bad as it appears. Again, it will take students; and the administration is trying to enroll them. The trend is toward advertising, and support of any improvement is vital. Instead of totally rejecting the efforts of the fellows upstairs, give them credit for trying something.

Coden Draws

Peru Plaudits

Ron Coden is a small man with · a big voice. The perfonnances he gave Monday and Tuesday nights in the Student Center proved that.

Although the attendence Monday night was relatively small, approximately 80, they were very attentive and vecy few, if any, left at intennission.

Much of the attentiveness was because of Coden's ability to · keep the pace of his show going and the variety in his repertoire.

He interspersed his songs with anecdotes about traveling, past experiences and his impressions of places he has been.,

Among the songs he sang were "l,eaving on a Jet Plane;" "If I Were a Rich Man" from "The' Fiddler on the Roof," a medley of "The Impossible Dream" and "I Don Quixote" from "The Man of La Mancha," and a number of other ballads and ditties.

He finished with a version of "The Highwayman," by Alfred Noyes set to music. It was very fine ending to an extremely enjoyable experience.

Peru Drops Kearney 80-69 Before Home Cro

By PAT CASTLE

Things had been down but up they came as the PSC Bobcat roundballers took the floor against the Kearney State Antelopes on February 13.

Toe Bobcats, with the cellar position in the NCC ·secured, 'lVercame the disappointment of the season and turned in an outstanding game and upset the n:earney crew 80-69.

Going into the contest,

Kearney held a 4-1 conference record and had a chance to tie Chadron for the title. The night before the Antelopes had defeated the Chadron crew 91-90 and had only to defeat the Bobcats and wait to see if Chadron would drop another.

However, the Cats were not to be denied and Kearney's hopes for an NAIA tourney berth fell by the wayside. Before a large weekend crowd, 200 guest schoolmen and their Bobcat mascot, the Cats,

fell behind 6-2 at the onset but · battled even with the Antelopes until they gained the lead with 2:15 remaining in the half but with less than a minute to go before halftime. The Cats moved out ahead again. They went to the lockerroom with a 37-35 lead and were never headed. again. Things remained close for a while but the Bobcats started pulling away shortly. A driving lay-up off a give,and-go by Tom Patton upped Peru's lead to 16 points.

The Antelopes fought valiantly to come back. They forced the Cats into many turnovers in the closing minutes but to no avail. At the end of the contest, their only hope for the NAIA was a plague to invade Chadron.

Larry Green was the big gun in the contest as he poured in 27 points. Nate Parks contributed 14 and Patton 13 to the triumphant cause.

Cnder the boards Parks and Nate Brown turned in fine efforts as the Cincinnatti guys

little Assistance Offered Athletes at Peru State

By JIM MILLION

The oniy athletic scholarships at Peru State are those originating from money dona led by the P-10 club, and these donations have never exceeded $1.000 a year. The P-10 'club is composed mostly of former

students who donate monev for athletic scholarships. ·

Peru State College rece_ives no money for athletic scholarships from any other source. According to Dr. Ervin Pitts, director oi athletics. this puts PSC at a disadvantage when competing with area schools for

prospective athletes.

Many of the area private schools give large athletic scholarships. Some of the other state colleges have an ad1·antage with donations from local booster clubs.

The board of trustees allocates no money for athletic scholarships. The University of

Head Coach Joe Pelisek has named 35 Peru State College football players who will receive letters and revealed the "most valuable player" and "most improved player" selections.

Most valuable player award went to linebacker John Waters, sophomore from Williston Park, N. Y. Most improved player award went to Barry Reed, Henry, Ill., of the Bobcat backfield.

Letter winners included Tim Becker, sophomore, Exeter; Danny Cotton, sophomore, Humboldt; Terry Criger, freshman, Nebraska City; Dennis Day, junior, Wymore; Randy Den, junior, Auburn; Jim Desbien, sophomore, Damar Kans"'.; Mike Dukes, junior, Villisca, Iowa; Rich Eischen, freshman, Algona, Iowa; Willie Fairbanks, sophomore, Cincinnati, Ohio; Tom Froehlich, freshman, Algona, Iowa;

The Peru State College Women's basketball team established its scoring attack for the first time this season to win over College of St. Mary of Omaha 47-19 in a home game February 10.

It was the first win in three games for the Bobkittens as Karen Sell and Pat Prose took scoring honors with 12 points each.

Nebraska is not under the board of trustees so it is not in the same situation.

These factors make it extremely hard to recruit talented athletes in this area, according to Dr. Pitts.

Peru can still compete favorably in the minor sports because most schools have not put much money into these programs yet.

Knowing these facts, Peru State College students should back athletic program more than ever, and hope that the board of trustees will make it possible for Peru to offer athletic scholarships some day, Dr. Pitts added.

Peru State Marches On

In 1970, the Peru Achievement Foundation:

- received income totaling 1,773.39, including one major quest totaling $10,000 from the state of Benjamin Harrison, maha, class of 1907.

- awarded scholarships taling $7,308.30, to Peru State liege students.

- continued to provide the atching funds for Peru State in National Defense Student an program. New funds of ,555.75 provided in 1970, plus payment money available for - loaning, have made possible ans totaling $404,000 under SL since the inception of the ogram in 1958 through 1970.

- purchased .$15,-000 in ctirities to be added to the nvestment portfolio. Majority of nvestments held by PAF vide scholarships from inrest - Wllich means the holarship fund is perpetual.

- received the gift of 34 shares f Thomas Industries stock.

Total receipts in 1970 were own from 1969, when the total ·as $45,889.87, including a major quest of $18,117. The previous ear, 1968, Foundation receipts otaled $20,754.19. Subtracting ajor gifts from past two years, eceipts for· 1970 showed a gain. Investments of the Peru hievement Foundation at the ose of 1970 total $76,717.81. ese include certificates of posit, stock in Sears, Thomas dustries, and Lone Star Gas, LSL Treasury Notes, Federal ational Mortgage association urities, Federal Land Bank, al estate mortgage, and the nding division of the foun·on.

There were 105 visitors, cording to Mrs Kregel. bers of the club received e than $10 in donations and out of fruit cake with a of $40.

Peru Staters Attend Conference

Five students and two faculty members represented Peru State College at Fort Hays (Kansas) Stat~ College in a "Quality of Student Campus Experiences Conference" s p o n s o r e d by the Kansas-Nebraska Educational Consortium on February 19th and 2oth. Representing Peru State were Dean Guy Rosenberg, Dr. Darrell Wininger, Patty Boyle, Stephen Long, Diana Schneider, Gary Hoemann, and Dresis Pajeda

The purpose of the conference was to give opportunity to both students and faculty to express the deep concern about the meaningfulness of the experience built in college life, both in and out of the classroom. The frank exchange of ideas about campus, it was hoped, would enable the participants to discover new ways of making developmental tasks more meaningful to students.

The conference consultant, Dr. Walcott Beauty, a Professor of Psychology of San Francisco State College, gave impetus to its goals. Separating the eighteen schools represented into heterogeneous groupings, Dr. Beauty hoped to facilitate communication. Some of the suggested topics within these groupings were alternatives in instruction, the grading system, student activities, and student residences.

The representatives of Peru State College gave their opinion of the conference as being a

worthwhile project. Dr. Wininger, on the executive committee of the conference, also affirmed his satisfaction with the results of the convention.

Aid Request Deadlines Set

Students seeking scholarships or other forms of financial aid for the 1971-72 academic year should keep in mind the application deadline dates. Scholarship applications must be filed by May 1, and · applications for other financial aid must be received by June 1, according to Donald G. Miller, director of student financial aids.

Scholarships available for the 105th academic year include seven $200 Charles E. Andrews Memorial scholarships; five $100 Benjamin Harrison Memorial scholarships; ten $100 freshman alumni scholarships; and a number of other scholarships in varying amounts for various fields of study.

The Economic Opportunity grants and college work-study ·are based on need, taking into account financial resources. College work-study assistance guarantees the student a given amount of assistance from wages earned at college or offcampus jobs assigned in public or non-profit organizations.

Peru State College is and will continue to be a flourishing and vigorous college, according to President Neal S. Gamon. The college is fiscally solvent and educationally sound. Despite the drop in enrollment from a year ago, the income from state appropriations and student tuition and fees is sufficient to meet all commitments for the current year. Lower occupancy than anticipated in the dormitories has required some adjustments, but these have been made with a minimum of discomfort and will permit the College to meet its obligations to residents and bond holders.

Every department and division in the college has a budget for operation during the current year. There has not been and will not be any reduction within the budgeted resources. Each department and division has great latitude in the expenditure of budgeted funds. In some cases departments or divisions 9hose to spend their allocations early in the year and thus are now without funds, but this was the decision of_the department or division head, Dr. Gomon said.

The requested budget for 1971-72 includes healthy increases for all programs of the college. The budget request, as approved by the ·· board of frusfoes, has been reviewed by the governor's office. In the governor's address to the legislature and in his recommended budget for Peru State, he reduced the amounts requested. Although less than asked, his recommended level of support will provide funds for continuation of operation in 1971-72 at approximately the same level as now exists. This means there may be some changes in the internal budget of the college but the over-all support will not differ greatly from that now available, the president explained.

The budget committee of the legislature will meet with the Board of Trustees and officials of the state colleges March 8 • 9. As a result of these meetings, the budget committee will assess the needs of the colleges and pre~ pare its own recommendations to the legislature. The budget committee's recommendations may or may not coincide with the governor's recommendations. All state colleges will be given an opportunity to defend their budget requests and hopefully the budget committee may recognize needs more positively than has the governor, Dr. Gomon added.

Although there are those among the student body and staff who look darkly upon the future of Peru State, they do so without any foundation in fact. They seem to overlook the many improvements in pr.9gram and factlities this year which have been of great calue to the entire institution. Perhaps one of the most significant programs is the internship in teacher education which has placed Peru State at the forefront of teacher education institutions in the midwest, The renovated Science hall certainly. is a significant physical improvement, the president stated.

The involvement of students in the internal affairs of the college has been greatly expand~d. Most of the decisions directly affecting students have been made only after consul ta ti on with student leaders. There is considerable evidence the attitudes of the great (Cont'd on page 2)

Status Quo Not~Good Enough

' According. to the statement from the office of President Neal s. Gomon, Everything at Peru is all right, There has beenenoughmoneyappropriated to continue on next year at the same level as this year. Status quo, even though the economy is ever on the rise.

The Science building, totally, and Morg<l.n Hall, partially, have been, or are being, reno· vated. This is fine, but we need a new gym and a larger library. The money has been allocated for a future date, but the gym, in its· present state, is appalling. Money has also been set aside for a new highway into Peru, within the next twenty-five years (if we're lucky~.

· It is easy to be satisfied with things as they are and say they are good. But we have .to work for the future. We have to keep try· ing to improve ourselves and our surround· ings. We can't be satisfied or we will drift ·into a state of nonexistence.

Just because Peru has been around for a hundred and some-odd years doesnjt mean that· it is indestructible or that progress will come automatically without any help from any· body. That isn't being realistic. Yet this in· dividual gets the feeling that that is the current trend,

This paper has had many stories of the good things that have· happened here, like the renovation of the Science building, and the increase of hours available in journalism. These are a part of what is happening at Peru. We have also printed many articles of dissent for they, too, are a part of what is happening at Peru.

·

At times, perhaps; the voice of dissent.has come out more strongly than that of assent. This, however, is the new§paper of the s.tu• -,, dents, providing them with an opportunity to express their feelings and thoughts, If neg· ative attitudes have been more predominant, then they are tl).e ones that have had the most airint;o

_There is a future for Peru. Good· things will happen and they will be written up in The Ped, In order for the good things to happen, however, the unsatisfactory aspects have to be known. And how do we know what the unsatisfactory aspects are and how preva· lent they are unless they are stated in the newspaper? Hopefully, after awhile, they won't be ignored and shrugged off as not being a real problem.

· This newspaper is about the only means of real communication that the students have with those in high author_ity and with the rest of the stu~e.nts and the faculty. If anyone, in an! position, has something to say it will be printed with as little editing as possible, although at time space is limited.

Maybe all is not right and if it isn't that is how it will appear in the newspaper. We have to be aware.

Peru State (Cont'd from page I) majority of students and staff toward the college and its objectives is far more positive than it is negative. Unfortunately, those with the ne~tive view seem to be quite vocal and are infrequently challenged to document their claims, Dr. Gomon asserted.

There remains much to be done. Increased financial support will, of course, greatly en· hance the ability of the college to meet the needs of all students. but equally important 0 will be a positive approach by all people tru· ly interested in the development of the col· lege and a dedication to emphasizing the many favorable aspects rather than. the shortcomings which this and every other college have. With the full co-operation of all, many of the nega· tive factors can be removed and Peru State can move forward to even greater service to schoo1, community and state, the president concluded.

PSC Enrollment Drops Slightly

Dr. Kelly J. Liewer, registrar, announced the total on-campus enrollment for second semester is 1,012. This figure is down 10.5 per cent from the first semester enrollment of 1,118.

Part of this decline is attributed to graduation. Fiftyeight students completed graduation requirements at the close of first semester.

EDITOR, THE PED:

I would like to take this opportunity to... thank Dean Rosenberg, Maxine Lomberg, the Peru State College security· Officers, and the others instramental in aiding to achieve the return of the equipment that was taken from my room while 1 was at the Peru-Wayne game.

•

Even ~hough I think it tragic that mc1dents like this have to occur, it is rewarding to note

that the individual (s) had a change of heart.

On the humorous side it is nice to know that the 1,000 and upwards number of pictures that were taken to help purchase the equipment are vindicated. It is also nice to know that all those weekends I spent taking care of my bratty cousins in past' summers were not in vain either. , r.. Gratefully, 1V1lKE H. SUMMERS

A.V. Larson, 80, professor emeritus of industrial arts, died .r'ebruary 17, at his home in Peru.

He joined the faculty at PSC in 1926 and retired in 1958. He served as head of the division of practical arts from 1945 to 1958.

The new Industrial Arts building at PSC is named for Mr Larson. He was responsible for much of the preliminary planning of the facility.

When he came to Peru in February, 1926, he was the only member of the industrial arts faculty. Since his retirement he has been active in the Peru Achievement Foundation, Inc., serving as treasurer from March 29, 1962, until his death. Under his guidance, the Eta chapter of Epsilon Pi Tau, national industrial arts fraternity, was organized at Peru in 1932, three years after the founding of the first chapter. In 1935 he was awarded the Laureate citation of the national headquarters for "his .example as teacher, scholar and administrator in the field of industrial arts education in the State of Nebraska."

In February, 1959, Mr Larson was paid the highest tribute of Epsilon Pi Tau, when he was

Cats Flash, Trip, Slip, Flip, Flop, Finish Fast

By PAT CASTLE

This was to be the year of the Bobcat. It wasn't.

The Peru State College Bobcats finished their 1970-11 campaign with a 17-7 record. Not bad? For most teams, such a record would denote an outstanding season. However, most Bobcat fans expected the Cats to go all the way this year and 7 losses just didn't fit in.

With size, experience and quickness, the Bobcats appeared as a top contender for an NAIA tourney berth. The season started out as if the Peru partisans might be treated to a team that could match their dreams. They started out by claiming victories in their first 8 outings.

The Bobcats then traveled to Omaha to do battle of the ninth time of the season. The Indians of UNO · proved that the Peruvians were human I by capturing a 93-87 decision over

Smokin'

them. However, Peru fans still thought their crew was the best around. Larry Green, the star cat, had been injured in the first balf of the game and was unable to compete in the back half, and mostpeoplethought the Bobcats played admirable with.out his services.

That continued hope was reinforced soon. The Cats played host to the Northwest Missouri State crew and captured an impressive76-71 victory over the NCAA school.

At that time the Bobcats were rated as one of the top 20 small college teams in the country. Things still looked rosy on the Campus of a Thousand Oaks.

The Bobcats went on the road and traveled to Kearney to do battle with the Antelopes. The travel proved once again to be hard on the local crew as it dropped the contest 87-75.

The Bobcats once again bounced back. After claimin&

easy conquests over Tarkio and Pershing, the future still looked bright for coach Jack Mclntir~'s crew. Supporting an 11-2 record and · with only 1 loss in the Nebraska College conference, · the NAIA tourney still seemed well within the grasp of the hustling Bobcats.

However, then came the turning point of the season. Peru hosted Wayne State college before a large, enthusiastic group of local partisans. Most fans felt that the Cats would have no trouble disposing of the inexperienced Wayne club. It didn't turn out that way. In a toughly-fought contest, both teams battled closely all the way. However, the Cats could not get the ball to fall when they needed it to. When the buzzer sounded, the visitors had pulled an 87-84 upset.

That seemed to turn the season around. The Bobcats had dropped the big one on their own

Joe to KO, Zero Predicts

By ZERO PREDICTS

This sporting event has been billed as the "Fight of the Century," the fight of the boxer versus the slugger, and just "The Fight". Throughout the years there have been many immortal fights and fighters, but never has there been as much controversy over a fight as there is over the upcoming heavyweight cparnpion~hip lt)11tg}, ftgbJ -·wjU· ~t t\VO of the top heavy weights to come along in quite awhile, Joe Frazier and Mohammed Ali.

To predict the outcome of this fight we must first analyze the two boxers. Let's first look at the challenger Mohammed Ali. Ali is undoubtedly one of the best heavywei_ghts of all time, he has

both speed and power. Some experts say that Ali is the best fighter to hit the scene since the days of Rocky Marciano and this may well be the truth. When fighting under the name of Cassius Clay the ex-ehampion had speed. Speed was the deciding factor in many of his bouts. Many of Clay's opponents had much more power, but were d~.id~y sI,Qwer, and as .a result w• .d~ect.e That was. three years ~o. Today Mohammed· Ali doesn't have the quickness that Cassius Clay had. This has been evident in his last two fights. Ali still has the quickness, but it is no longer that blazing quickness. I believe the question most asked is can Ali hit with authority? If you could ask the

Smokin' Joe Frazier

Meets Mohammed Ali

Round one begins and people shout Mohammed Ali has something in his mouth.

Round two begins and people wonder who this Man is who's putting Ali under, But when he turns around people all know that its the one and only Smokin' Joe;

The fans know the end is near when Joe lands a left to the ear.

Joe looks to his trainer one more time and he says leave him till Round Number 9.

So the fight goes on 6, 7, 8, and Ali is almost down straight.

"Round Nine" Joe predicts a win and lands a solid right to the chin. ·

Ali is up, he's down and Joe Frazier wears a frown. Frazier's making Ali look like a fool and Ali is blowing his cool. Ali is oown the ref counts to 10 and he'll never be seen again.

So let this be a lesson to all you pros, don't ever mess with a man named Smokin' Joe.

Trapshoot Open To All Students

Practice will be held for all those interested in participating in trapshoot shootoffs.

On March 13, any interested 'llarksman may display his skill at the Nebraska City Gun club and try for a position on the fiveman team to be sent from PSC to !lhrfolk on March 27.

late Sonny Liston you might get an answer, but it might not be the truth. Personally, I don't think Clay has the KO punch. Now let's look at the champion, Joe Frazier.' Joe will come out "smokin'." Frazier is not a finesse boxer, but instead relies on his hitting ability. Frazier can hit, ask 23 of his 26 opponents, they were knocked out. Joe Frazier will be a determined-fightt?r. In his mind he knows that he can beat AIL Ali has never fought anyone this determined, and this could be Ali's downfall. No fighter is recent times has been given much of a chance to defeat Ali, but Frazier is the favorite and this cculd be to his advantage. In the final analysis it seems as though the question asked is can Frazier's powerful punch hit Ali, or is Ali too quick? This writer doesn't think that Ali is as quick ' as he once was, but Frazier's punch is just as powerful as ever: Frazier will win in the 12th round.

Bobkittens Fini sh Dismal Season

The Peru State College women's basketball .team dropped its second game of the season to J .F. Kennedy college 51-21.

J .F. Kennedy got off to an early lead and stretched its margin to 33-11 at halftime and was never threatened by Peru State. Leading scorers for Peru State were Pat Prose, Glenwood, Iowa, and Karen Sell, Tabor, Iowa, with six points each. Others scoring for Peru were Melissa Ross, Nehawka, 4; Kris Rotter, Brock, 3; and one each for Kathy Matthews, Hamburg, Iowa, and Rita Basiljevac, Omaha.

The Bobcats were unable to bounce back from the disheartening defeat as they had done before. They dropped their next contest to Simpson college · 71-66.

The Peruvians managed -. a pair of wins over Bellevue and Doane but jt was too late. The Bobcats seemed not to be the same team they had been at the first of the season.

The .only remaining hope for · the NAIA was thwarted when Chadron State won a weekend pair from the Cats. After the defeats at Chadron, second leading scorer and rebounder Ananias Montague withdrew from school. This left the locals with a big gap which they filled admirably.

The Cats dropped their third in a row when they traveled to Maryville, Mo. The Northwest Missouri crew avenged the earlier loss to Peru by trimming the Bobcats 83-68.

The Bobcats closed the season much as they had started itwith a string of wins. They defeated Kearney to spoil that crew's hopes of an NAIA berth. They rolled over Bellevue and Mount Marty. The season ended on a high note. The Cats traveled to Wayne and avenged the earlier loss with a 66-65 conquest

If either the college or the city of Peru is to grow, both must work together, Mayor Rex Allgood stated in an interview this week. ::vrayor Allgood, who is a college staff member, also said communication between Peru State College and the city council is at an all-time high.

When asked what the city of Peru is doing to help in the growth of both Mayor Allgood said the city council is 100 percent behind the college's attempt to obtain the Vocational Technical school. The city council members are writing their legislative representative to go on record as being in favor of the school.

Education, Colleges, Governor and Taxpayer

Who Will Pay?

Due to budgetary difficulties within the State of Nebraska, the University of Nebraska and the state. colleges are faced with cutbacks in existing programs.

Along with the cutback in financing to the colleges it is expected the tuition will be raised to defray some of the expenditures gaps caused by the loss of tax funds. If tuition continues to increase, we may be pricing ourselves out of education.

It is estimated that the cost of educating each student will increase by 19 per cent within the next few years. How are these increased prices to be met?

State governments are feeling the pinch of inflation and find they are unable to give adequate support. True, the federal government yields a helping hand but here, too, there has been a cutback in available aid.

Perhaps we are paying too much for higher education. Maybe there are paths which may be pursued in order to curb advanced spending.

Salaries have continued to advance for educational instructors, but the productivity of these professors has not increased. We are still teaching on a ratio of 15 students for each faculty member and using methods long ago outdated.

The nine~month school year and the credit system seem to bog everything down. Schedules and the 50minute lectures haunt the "halls of ivy."

There is need for a change and this change must come now.

It is time for educators to do some researching too. Other methods of education must be adaptable to the present situation.

We talk of bettering our education program by

adding more classes and teachers, but, first of all, the present methods must be placed under close scrutiny and clearly evaluated. · If the challenge to find a better education was met head on, the cost squeeze may not be felt as much. Yes, Mr. Taxpayer of America, chal,lenge your educators to provide a better means of a fuller education without you paying more.

Educators, can you meet this challenge~

JA.NICEAXDAHL

Slap in Face

At a time when education_ is sadly in need of revitalization, Governor Exon has risen to the cause by requesting a cut in appropriations for the state• supported universities and colleges. This will drastically affect Peru and the state colleges in Nebraska.

First of all, it will deter the raising of faculty salaries for the 1971-72 and 1972·73 sessions to an average with the other similar colleges in the Midwest. Naturally, this will make "good" teachers hard tQ come by for the colleges. While it may. be lofty to think that.the "good'" teachers will continue to teach out of dedication, one may find that higher wages offered by other institutions may result in an exodus of teachers from ·Nebraska.

Secondly, the governor's budget would require that the faculty class load at the four state colleges be increased. According to the trustees of the Nebraska state colleges, the result would be the loss of 33 faculty positions even through enrollments would increase by over 600 this next year. It is a well.-known fact that when teaching loads increase the quality of education decreases. No teacher can give his or her best in an overcrowded situation. It seems odd that in an age of increasing

enrollments, prices, and the need to mainta' standards of education that Governor Exon hand Nebraska's colleges such a slap in tij

What Is An Author? letter to the Edit,

An author is an actor of the world playing all parts as though each character were but one· millionth of an Oscar winning performance. He is the concentration of a physician at work. The precision of a craft·

sman carving out the world on paper, marked explicitly with the ink of time. Authors are sculptors filling· others' eyes with the beauty of a theusand life-times encompassed in only hours of reading. Each line a poem, each paragraph _ a

masterpiece, each story a fulfillment of a dream. Sometimes a teacher, an author is seldom monetarily paid for greatness he has made, but in the continuation of his efforts, his satisfaction seldom fades.

J.V,

EDITOR, THE PED:

The President of this college due to Governor Exon's reduced budget for the next year has been forced to write letters to the first year instructors of this institution stating that there may not be enough funds to hire them back next year. Evidently this will be determined by a state legislature budget committee whether there will be enough funds to even maintain the status quo let alone the hiring of new personnel or whether the Governor's budget will stay intact which will mean the reducing of instructional staff at Peru State.

You could see what this would do to many programs. It means that the art department could be cut in half for instructional staff even though we now have more majors than other areas of instruction with more staff. This means that fire or six teaching positions could be threatened at this college. With the loss of instructional staff you ,could see what this could do, to the

enrollment of this college. students would be forced t" elsewhere for curriculu J. longer offered here. ,; If you are really con(' about the future of Peru;; College I would recommen, , you write your representa · the Nebraska Legislat approve necessary funds college.

Black Power Will Succeed

Three years ago the black people of the American ghettos cried out two innocent words "Black Power.'' This, along with the symbol of a black fist made the white people of America highly upset. The question posed is ''Just what exactly is Black Power?"

Black Power can mean many different things to many different people but basically it means cleaning up the word "black." For years the white people have taken the word to mean something dirty and bad and ugly. Black is always wrong and white is always right.

The cowboy riding·the black horse is the bad guy and the cowboy riding the white horse stands for all that is good. Nothing is blacker than a tornado until it cleans the white woman's kitchen, then it becomes a white tornado.

Just as white people use the white tornado to clean everything to white, black people are going to take their black tornado and clean everything to black. All tornadoes have a name and the black tornado will be called Black Power.

Black Power will bring about black businesses supported and run by black people. Black Power will make black people equal. Black Power will take the connotation "for whites only" from the_ Constitution of the United States. · Black Power will bring · black history into American schools which will help the black student find an identity. Black Power will contribute black culture into the so-called melting pot. Black Power will succeed. . .by force if necessary!

.Students A!one Make SGA

The SGA can only be as effective as you, the students, want it to be. It is in communication that the SGA can, as an organization ·of the students, effectively express the wants and desires of the students in _proportion to the invol~ent expressed. There is no action in saying, ''there is •no use to try," but there is action in making an effort to do the thing which you feel is right for the college community you live in.

The SGA is representing you and its effectiveness_ to do so depends solely on your desire to have it do so. The SGA meetings are not closed; the organization functions for the students, and you are the students. Complain, criticize, compliment, say what you think should be done, and most important, offer your help to make SGA a better organization representing you. The effectiveness of the SGA is earned, not given, by a desire of the students to make it an effective organization.

You have to take the first step, the best being, by coming to the SGA meeting next Tuesday in the FA auditorium at 5: 30 p.m. to see how communication can be effective. ·

Poem To Be Published

Afreshman student from Nebraska City, Paul Morehead, has been notified that one of his poems has been accepted for publication in a poetry anthology.

The poem was entitled "Basic Truth", or "refection I" as it was submitted to be printed in The Ped. It was selected by a board of judges to be published in the Annual Anthology of College Poetry.

The anthology is a c;ompilation of the finest poetry written by college students in _the United States. Every state in the union is represented. Selections were made from thousands of manuscripts submitted.

Reflection I

Within each man's heart, No matter how humble his existence

Lives a spark.

It is something no one can extinguish, No matter how subtle or cunning the adversary.

Jf men choose to use this divine radiance

There are no obstacles he cannot overcome Nor heights he can not reach.

Man can be repressed physically,

But if he has the strength

Of a true conviction in what he believes, He need never bow down to any man.

-Cheating on Proficiency Test

Some things never change and that seems to be the case of cheating on the English proficiency test. And it has been heard that there has been cheating this semester as probably, to aQ extent, every semester; ·

The solution is not simple since, after completing success£ully the nine hours of English required, a student should know how to express himself and not need to cheat.

One suggestion may be to monitor the test _more carefully and to be alert to students who are m the room and who are not registered.

For the students it may seem like a nuisance, but when applying fo; a job, if for no other reason, it helps to be able to express oneself in a manner equal to the education.

Meanderings

Most non-smokers are laughing at smokers, who, faced with the.situation of paying more or quit smoking, will smoke more and complain forever.

One man (presumably an Exon supporter) proposed placing a tax on milk since more milk drinkers are children. His reasoning is that those with children should pay for buildings and education. ·

Terry Carpenter may not he the best-liked senator in Nebraska, but for color and number of proposed and passed bills; he is number one.

+++ Nebraska coach Bob Devaney concerning Governor Exon: "If he doesn't want Nebraska to be number one, why does he give out so many number one pins." +++

For those who criticize football at Nebraska as too important, forget it. Football contributed nearly $492,000 to help pay other deficits last year. Before Devaney, there was no profit, and after him there may not be anything. Taxpayers don't stop to realize the plus, only the minus, in their pockets. +++ .: -

Jack Weyers! Jack Weyers! Jack Weyers! Yes, Virginia, he is the most noteworthy athlete Peru has had for who knows how long. Two things this writer

would like to see is a challenge race between Nebraska's crack miler and Jack. The second thing is Jack on either the 1972 or '76 Olympic team~. · Greg Carlberg is the only one between him 'and complete domination of Nebraska track and crosscountry. Right On Jack!!!

Memories, All Tl,(/f Are left

Windows have been washed. Art displays have been returned to their owners. Quietude has overtaken the auditorium. Students are returning to their books as they make a final attempt at their studies as the year draws quietly to a close. Spring Week, with all its festivities, was a success, a week to remember.

Twenty cars lined up on Sunday afternoon anticipating the course for the car rally. At 3: 47 the first car manned by Lambooy and Anderson left the starting line. Every two minutes after that another car left until finally McKercher and Shipley pulled away at 4:30.

Approximately 20 minutes from take-off the cars entered

the first check po int. After that confusion became the by-word of the day. Finally the majority of the cars arrived at Brownville at th~ second ch~k point.

Not everyone completed the course. Some became completely lost and returned to Peru on roads they knew. The last car returned at 7: 10. No one had a perfect time nor mileage. Time set for speed limit and road conditions was 2 hours and 3 minutes with a total distance of 60.2 miles. The winning car was driven by Rick Mezger and copiloted by Karen Schneider. The second place car was driven by Ralph Bodie and-11iloted by his wife Phyllis.

The paint brush fanatics eagerlv awaited the

announcement of the awards for their efforts. First place was awarded to the maestro conducting the concert. Painting was done by MENC STUDENT VIBRATIONS, painted in vivid orange and yellow by Student Wives, was awarded second place. The wise words of Henry David Thoreau, painted by Dorothy Bond, was awarded · third place.

The music died. The gym was silent as the royalty made their way to the front of the gym.

With a dozen red long stem roses in her arms, Jan Axdahl, SCB president, walked toward the upper classmen. She stopped, smiled at all of them, and then took Tom Pitts to the microphone and introduced him as King.of May Fete. Tom then took the roses and walked to his own classmate, Patricia McConnell, and took her for his queen.

Even though the dance started late, there was a good crowd of both students and faculty. The LA Carnival supplied ample music for all. The swish of party dresses and the smart look of suits and semi-formal dress wear added to the beauty and simple elegance of the event.

Monday afternoon, students found their way to the Oak Bowl where all shared in a picnic supper.

Slowly, but surely, the faculty started drifting into the track area for the annual track meet.

After several events it happened. The flood gates broke and water poured from the sky. The crowd dissipated and, much to the relief of the faculty, the meet was called.

At the coffeehouse that evening, Paul Kruse was named "Outstanding Athlete of the Year." James Dunlavy was named "Most Promising Athlete of the Year."

Dunlavy and a skit presented by Ann O'Connor, Cheri Fowler and Margee Heiser tied for first place in the coffeehouse. The place was awarded to the Ron Dozzo Singers, a group made up of chorus members.

The question of who Mason Profit was answered by students who attended the concert Tuesday night. Swing-style country folk music started the s~ow and continued at about that pace during the first half. Then something absolutely unhelieveable happened. PSC students grabbed hold of the

.John Winkle was one of several individuals that happened to get a cold, wet treat in the dunking tank at the carnival.

"country - funk" music and started to do their thing.

Wednesday's events were started by trivia games. Approximately 150 students participated. Twelve hungry young fellows gorged themselves on pumpkin custard pie as they used no utensils or their hands to lick the platter clean. Apple bobbing, sack races, a 3-legged race, and a peanut race were other events. In the dusk of the evening the students once again filed into the auditorium. They were met by the dazzle of the sparkling lights of the 30's. Kazoos were soon in their hands and strange noises came from everywhere.

Students were soon on stage participating. Winners of the "Tumbling Revolving Raffle Barrel of Fate" were Jerry Wright, Dick Warking, and Joan Bachenberg. Good guy Gary Hoeman playing the part of Mountie Stanley Stoutheart

arrived aback his pony for his shoot out with the bad guyportrayed by Dominic Vitticore. Ten ambitious students took part in the dance marathon, the winners being Mark Hahn and Jane Kelly.

The carnival Thursday afternoon was once again a. success. The "Thursday Policemen" seemed to put every possible innocent bystander in jail.

The movie "Bullitt" once again beckoned students to the auditorium.

Only a day was left of Spring Week 1971. The Midnight Maddness party was scheduled from 9 a.m. to 3 a.m. The huge twister game monopolized much attention as did the W.C. Fields flicks. At 11 the Marque Review started playing for the dance. By 2:30 the Center was nearly vacated.

It was finished for another year.

long Named SGA Prexy

Steve Long, a junior from Bingham, Mass., has been elected president of the Student Governing association for 197172. A social science major, Long defeated Randy Den, Auburn sophomore, for the position. Mark Hahn, Auburn sophomore, defeated Nancy Rhoden, Lincoln sophomore, for the office of vice president. They will assume office with the first session of summer school.

Long said that his main goal will be to give the students the kind of government they want (see statement on page two). In order to do this, he said he will urge students to attend SG A open meetings held at 5:30 p.m. Tuesdays in the Fine Arts auditorium and to voice their opinions at these meetings.

The newly-elected president said he hopes the SGA will be able to set up an office from which to work. In this way, the student governing group could have better communication with the students, faculty and administration, With more student co-operation, more committees can be formed and new goals can be reached, he said.

Long has been involved in SGA the past year. He has also been active in the Student Center Board. His activities with the SCB have included parliamentarian, research, recreation, constitution,

interviewing and programs committees, ACV-I convention delegate, homecoming coordinating committee and NEC regional convention.

Long has also been a member of The Peruvian and The Pedagogian staffs, Gavel and , Rostrum, Spring Week courtesy committee, NSEA, NEA, PSEA, Kansas and Nebraska Education Consortium, and he has participated in football.

lack of Communication Exists at Peru State, Survey Reveals

Within the past several years ,nany hours and words have heen spent on differences b;tween people and why and \,ow these differences have come into existence. One of these differences has been in the field of communication.

What is true on the national level, however, may not be true on the local level. To find out, a poll was taken by some of the journalism students to find out if there might be a communication gap between the students, faculty and administration.

Approximately· 10 percent of the students at Peru were asked J they felt there was a (Jmmunications gap between · the students and the faculty and I.he students and the administration. 81 percent felt there was a commun~ions problem between the students and the administration. 18 , percent thought there was no such gap and 1 percent did not commit themselves.

On the other hand, 63 percent of the students polled thought the communications between the faculty and the students were satisfactory. 34 percent felt that communications were lacking and 3 percent remained uncommitted.

Many students commented on

the question "if there is a communication problem between the administration and the students, what do you feel are some possible solutions?"

One junior female felt that "first of all, the awareness of a communication problem, then the willingness to work on it wgether" was necessary.

A sophomore girl stated that "the administration is not open with the students. The students do not have the opportunity to make decisions which they feel important to the school. .If given the opportunity, students could accept the responsibilities the administration now fails to give them The administration worries about the lack of students or enrollment going down-if students were treated with more respect their oroblem and ours could be solved."

Asenior suggested "scheduled :; t u d e n t - Administration meetings. .regular - once monthly."

Another senior proposed having "the administration be willing to meet the students halfway in their communication. Quit giving everyone the run around when questions are· asked."

One male junior said that it was "hard to say because very

few students showed up to hear Gomon. Students don't care (apathy)."

A male senior suggested "letting the students know more about the practices, decisions of college by personal addresses, comments in Ped, or by other means."

Finally, a male freshman felt that for "better communication, the administration needs to work more on student problems than on smoking pipes and feeding dogs." Although fewer comments were made concerning a facultystudent communication gap, a few should be noted.

A female sophomore stated that to "have the teachers realize that they are_human-and talk to tlie students in a down to earth manner," is important. She continued "to err is human, for a teacher to admit to error is twice as human."

Another female sophomore said that "both sides need to be open to the other's viewpoint. A student should feel comfortable talking to a faculty member about a problem and feel his grade is not threatened by it."

Finally, a sophomore wants to "make the teacher evaluation program account for something. Allow the students to have a say

so there isn't a possibility of personal grievances causing the firing of a good teacher."

Eleven faculty members were also asked if they thought there is a communications gap between the students and them, and the administration and them. The conclusions reached were about the same as those of the students.

Approximately 64 percent felt that there ·was a communications problem belween the faculty and the administration, while 36 percent said there wasn't.

They felt that there was less of a communications problem between the faculty and the students. About 27 percent said such a problem existed, while 73 percent said that there was no µroblem.

Some suggestions that faculty members gave to bridging the gap included informing "both ' students and faculty more. Faculty members <as well as .;tudents) should participate with lhe administration in forming and expediting college policies."

Another faculty member ~uggested "more 'get-together' dinners such as the one which

took place

3-29-71 (although very few administrators were present). Individual concentration as to what our purpose is at PSC (perhaps a realization that we're both here for the same purpose.)"

A final comment by a faculty member included "more representation of faculty on committees. We never know until the action has taken place."

Lastly, although the majority of faculty members polled felt that the communications between the facultv and the students were satisfactory, suggestions for improvement were made.

One faculty member suggested "1) Dismissal of faculty wearing ties. 2) Leaving the desk position on the part of faculty. 3) More group · discussion-less lectures. 4) Each faculty member should come to an understanding that he is not God, not the textbook a Bible. 5) Empathy on behalf of both students and faculty."

Overall. the students and faculty feel that relationship between lhe two is good, although, as in any situation, improvements can be made.

Role of the Teacher

This year Peru State College will graduate 153 students qualified to teach. They have chosen a career of tremendous responsibility because the future of the world will be partiaUy ·determined by the skill with which they do their jobs.

Every day the teachers of the ·world a re forming the minds of those who will accept great responsibilities in the future, To neglect their talents, their desires, or their ambitions because of prejudice, apathy or in· difference can be catastrophic. Whether the in· structor teaches in the elementary, secondary, or college level the skill he uses in his profession will determine each student's attitude on the next step of an endless ''ladder'' of learning,

If a student leaves cine step of this "ladder" with the impression that further learning serves no purpose, then the teacher who has passed that student has, indeed, failed him. He will be to blame when the next teacher finds this student unco-operative. It will be his fault if that student drops out of school altogether thinking that he has nothing to offer society. This is not to say that the student bears no blame. Any' final decision is his, but it is the teacher who must hone his natural curiosity, instill in him the idea that education is worthwhile. Finally, that he IS important, that his thoughts, experiences.and ideas are worth listening to. Although crowded classrooms are a hindrence to individual help, the teacher, should never forget that he is working with individuals.

The· teacher's job is important. To date, a teacher is still respected when he takes his first class. Whether ·the teacher retains that natural respect is up to him and the degree · of respect he has for each student. The student he ignores might be the world's next Hitler, or Sirhan, or Oswald, or Ray•••

Year Drawing to Close

Another year is quickly-drawing to a close. As the · editor of the newspaper, it has been an experience thatwewillneverforget. There have been things to _go and see, listening to other people, students, faculty and administration, each voicing his own opinion.

There has been optimism and pessumsm, sometimes almost in the same breath. There have been ideas, both good and. bad, to be accepted or rejected for use in the paper. There ha~€! been decisions to be made like what should go mto the paper and if an article should be edited.

It has been found that those individ11als who submit articles read their articles letter for letter and report in if it isn't "exactly" as they wrote it. They can't be blamed really for there is something that happens to a person when he sees what he has written in print.

But all of the individuals who have written articles or taken pictures for The Ped are to be thanked for their contributions. It is indeed timeconsuming to hunt down people for articles and pictures. And, for the most part, they have done an outstanding job.

And now another year is drawing quickly to a close and this issue closes another volume of The Pedagogian. Summer plans are being. made between finishing term papers and studymg for finals. Except for graduation, seniors can think only of leaving and of what the future has to offer them.

Finally another year is drawing quickly to a close.

Peru: 1971 • 1972

Only a few more days of school left! With this thought most ~tudents will be leaving in a few days . only to return in t~ree months. Now, you have two choices. One, you can take Peru for granted and return next year. Two, you can open your eyes and think .for yourself.

By now each student- knows what Peru is all -about, both the good points and the bad. Now is the time to decide if you should return next fall. Do you always gripe about Peru and do nothing to change things? If so, leave.

Don't be content to just gripe to your roommate. Surely you know a better college than Peru. Go to it.

Peru is like about most other groups of individuals. The school reflects you. What about our football team? If they are not the best football players in stjlool, at least they are the only ones with guts. The players reflect the best :Peru has, so back them next year. This year Peru seemed to have an abundance ., of Monday morning quar~erbacks. Lazy Monday morning quarterbacks.

· This editorial is not intended to make the students mad. The purpose is to get you to accept Peru, work toward helping Peru, or leave Peru. The last thing Peru needs is to be known as Peru, Campus of 1000 Gripers.

Mushroom Season Arrives in Peru After a Long, Dreary, Bleak Winter

After six months of bleak. dreary barrenness a dull Peru begins to return to its six months of exotic green and growth. As 1;, 3 aad tulips bloom and fruit l1 ees are gorgeous bouquets to God's gondness, then a little gift is sent to His peopJ.e in the woodlands. It is cal.led the morel, an erable mushroom.

This gif~ is fully appreciated in Peru and on a warm, beautiful day h-ar the first of May, the town may "'i';zar quite empty because sc many are on the "'.Shroom hunt. If, and where. and how many are the chief topics of conversation. Bulging sark:s brimful of the gift, are viewed with enthusiastic respect.

On the bottom lands along the Missouri' the pheasant crow is the background music for the hunt. As one walks, the mother hen makes a low, beautiful flight from her nest of eggs, but she shouldn't have bothered, as no one would destroy or harm her nest.

On a cloudy intersperse<;! with sprinkling afternoon two deer were seen, their tracks evident aa along ,:1e Missouri wooded lowlands. Birds, the cardinal and his 1nate, the mourning dove, goldfinch, the blue jay, the wrPn and his ever-musical song. accompany the hunter as he hunt~

The unexperienced can step on the morel and not know it. The keen eye and heart for the mushroom is indeed a rewarding

art. Rabbits flush from the brushpiles, but the squirrel is alarmingly scarce.

The tramp througn the woods revealed a plum thicket in pink bloom abuzzing with bee's pollinating for the fruit. Sweet William had its bright deep blue against the pasture green, was enchanting to the eye. Blue and yellow violets are al ways in full bloom.

One hunt had a redheaded, five-year-old being taught the art of finding the mushroom by

Sifting Sands Being Distributed

Fortv-fifth anniversary edition of Sifting Sands, literary magazine of the Enlgish club, is being distributed by members of the organization.

Julee Tillman, Wahoo, and Kathy Staack, Avoca, were coeditors of the 41-page publication which carries the prose and poetry written by students, alumni and faculty of Peru State. Miss Jacquelyn Pummel, Nebraska City senior, was art editor.

Additional features include a history of Sigma Tau Delta, national honorary English fraternity at Peru State, by Gary Nelson, Osceola senior, and R.D. Moore, professor emeritus of English. A tribute to Mr Moore was written by Sally Weber Beran, Holmesville, senior, .wd her husband, Bob Beran. OdeU, a 1970 graduate.

his grandmother. Like a mother hen she'd find one, and then, make the little red head find and pick it. They walked onto a huge bull snake and his mate in a little dip on the pasture hillside sunning in the warm sun. The snakes lay quiet hoping not to be seen by the humans. The grandmother saw and feared the magnificent speciman so she quietly told the grandson who insisted on being showed. After he saw the snakes they both made a large circle around and ended mushrooming for the day

Next day a whole family went mushrooming in Helen Eberhart 's pasture just south of Peru. A huge wooded ditch following the pasture edge is always full of the morel. The warmth and moisture has to be just right for its growth, where one is found there are usually others.

The IO-year-old son found a black snake and quickly called the 12-year·-old son who got a stick to hold its head and soon picked up the 4 foot snake. He dropped it into a plastic bread sack and carried it along on the hunt. His elders marvelled at his lack of fear. Upon leaving the woods the father made the boy turn the snake loose. It quickly slithered away happy again with its freedom.

The morel hunt is a tradition in Peru handed down from generation to generation, It is truly a dynamic pill that routs winter weariness from the heart and soul. -

Ecology Problem· is Universal One

The problem of ecology is world-wide today.

nr. W.A. Mordy, a recent speaker on the subject on the Peru campus, has generated a concern for this problem within the community.

The following is a list of ways in which an individual of the Peru community can effectively help to depollute the earth.

1. Don't use colored tissue, paper towels or toilet paper. The paper is dissolvable but the dye lingers on. ·

2.· If you accumulate coat hangers, don't junk them; return them to the cleaners. Boycott a cleaner who won't accept them.

3. Use containers that disintegrate readily. Glass bottles don't decompose. Bottles made of polyvinyl chloride CPVC) give off lethal hudrochloric acid when incinerated. (That is the soft plastic many liquid household cleansers, shampoos, and mouthwashes come in. Don't confuse it with stiffer polystrene plastic,, used mainly for powders.) The FDA has not approved PVC for food packaging, too.· Don't buy it. Use decomposable "biodegradeable" - pasteboard, cardboard or paper containers instead. If you can't, at least re-employ nondecomposable bottles; don't junk them after one use.

At the gas station, don't let the attendant 'top off'' your gas tank; this means waste and pollution spillage. The pump should shut off automatically at the propei: amount.

5. If you smoke filter-tip cigarets, don't flush them down the toilet.· They will ruin your plumbing and clog up pumps at the sewage treatment plant. They are practically indestructible; put them in the garbage.

6. Stop Smoking.

7. Stop littering. Now, if you see a litterer, object very politely. (Excuse me, sir, I think you dropped something.>

8. If you are a home gardener, make sure fertilizer is worked deep into the soil - don't hose it off into the water system. Phosphates cause lake and river algae to proliferate wildly.

9. If you don'treallyneeda car, don't buy a car. Motor vehicles contribute a good half of this country's air pollution, Better, walk or bicycle. It's better for you, too.

10. If you have to car-eommute, don't chug exhaust into the air just for yourself. Form a car pool. Four people in one car put out a quarter the carbon monoxide of four cars.

Hanford Miller Plans to Retire

Hanford Miller, associate professor of chemistry and a member of the faculty for nearly a quarter of a century, will retire at the close of the 1971 spring semester.

He joined the Peru State faculty in 1947. His tt2ching career goes back to 19.lS and has been continuous except for five vears a s a chemist for a commercial company in the mid-1930's. In addition to teaching chemistry to hup.dreds of students at Peru State, he has been an elementary and high school teacher.

Before joining the Peru State staff he was superintendent of

schools in Thatcher and Hoehne, Colo. He also taught in Wisconsin and Colorado. He holds A.B. and M.A. degrees from Colorado State college, and has taken additional graduate study at Utah State university and Montana State college.

He is a member of the Nebraska Academy of Science, the National Education association, and the Nebraska State Education association. Mr and Mrs Miller plan to continue to make their home in Peru. They are the parents of three children, all graduates of Peru State College.

lL If you still think you need a car of your own, make sure it burns fuel efficiently (i.e. rates high m mpg). Get a low horsepower minirnachine for the city, a monster for lots of freeway driving.

12. There's only so much water -don't leave it running.

13. Measure detergents carefully; if you follow manufacturer's instructions, you'll help cut a third of all detergent water pollution.

14. Since the prime offender in detergent pollution is not suds but phosphates, (which encourage algae growth) demand to know how much phosphate is in the detergent you're buying. Write the manufacturers, newspapers, Congressmen, the FDA. Until they let you know, use an unphosphated, nondetergent soap. (Bubble baths, you may be happy to know, do not cause detergent pollution).

15. Never flush away what you can put in the garbage. Especially unsuspected organic cloggers like cooking fat (give it to the birds), coffee grounds, or tea leaves (gardeners dote on them).

16. Help get antipollution ideas· into kids' heads. If you're a teacher, a Scout leader, a camp counselor, a summer playground assistant - teach children about litter, conservation, noise -about being considerate, which is what it all comes down to.

17. Remember: ALL POWER POLLUTES. Especially gas and electric power, which either smog up the air or dirty the rivers. So, cut down on power consumption. In winter put the furnace a few degrees lower (it's healthier) and wear a sweater.

18. Fight to keep noise a a minimum between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. Studies show that sounds which aren't loud enough to wake you can still break your dream cycle, so you awaken tired and cranky, By the same token, be kind to neighbors. Suggest that your local radio-TV station remind listeners at 10 p.m. to turn down the volume.

19. Write letters - in support as well as in opposition.

20. l{ead and learn what the issues are and what the facts are. Uninformed action is often destructive.

Peruvians Attend Lincoln Confab

Steve Long and Jan Axdahl represented PSC at the American Association for Higher Education at its subregional Rocky Mountain area convention in Lincoln on May 4.

The prime topic of discussion was the faults of higher education. The convention was attended by college administrators, businessmen, clergy, students and representatives from the President's Task Force on Higher Education.

The participants elaborated on their own "hot spots" concerning education. Group discussions helped to talk out some of the problem areas. Some of the areas discussed were: private and public financing; c:redentialling; certification; teacher-studen!society interactions; the discrimination of wo.i;ae,,, tenure and student aet!t~s,

and bikinis·? Better yet, whatever happened to the girls who wore them? Maybe 30-year old women who wear hot pants can remember, since young college men have nothing better to do, than to ask them.

Mac Davis played and sang to a rousing crowd last Thursday. Davis told this writer he would have made his concert longer, but certain gentlemen in the balcony turned him off. In this writer's opinion, Mr. Davis has immense talent, but his jokes won't be remembered by this time next year. Ever notice how a few spoil the good parts for others? Those guys in the balcony probably will be in the show for another five years.

As a showman and accomplished singer, the best show this year was Ron Coden. Why pay dollars for big name talent, when the real talent could be brought in cheaper and more often. Personally a Ron Coden every three months would be worth more in entertainment than the frustration of never having the Grass Roots or the Guess Who.

It's been a short year and it isn't over. Next year another nine months of joy, sorrow, and indifference will unveil. And the J)Oplllar parting phrase would ban• lo be: "Love is never lo say you're sorry."

Zero Predicts Goes Down ·Swinging With Baseball forecasfs

By ZERO PREDICTS

AF, is in all good things that must come to an end so must the column known as Zero Predicts come to a finish for another year. Since this is the last edition of The Ped for the year Zero has decided to make some predictions that will set the sports world back 10 years.

Baseball season is in full swing now and the races in both the National and American Leagues are beginning to take shape. In the National League western division the pre-season favorite was the Cincinnati Reds with the Los Angeles Dodgers given an outside chance to dethrone the defending champions. Now that

the season has started the San Francisco Giants are making the headlines and at this writing have an unbelievable record of 23 wins and 9 losses, while the team from Cincinnati is finding it tough to win a ball game. San Francisco will win in the West this year. The National League East should be a two-team race between the New York Mets and the Pittsburgh Pirates. 'The Mets have the very strong pitching that can carry a team to a pennant, but the question is can Seaver and Koosman stay strong and carry the load throughout the entire season? The Pirates on the other hand have the real

Peru Golfers Win NCC Title

Peru State's golf team won the Nebraska College Conference title and took second in the NAIA District 11 tournament at Wayne.

The District li championship went to Hastings college.

Ivan Miller, GrW1dy Center, Iowa, Bobcat leader the past two seasons, took medalist honors with a pair of 73's on the course, The spectacular play by Miller qualified him for the National

NAIA meet at Rockford, Ill., the second week in June.

Guy Lammie, Peru, runner-up on the Bobcat team, scored a 73 and a 77 for a total of 150 and third place in the tournament. NCC and District 11 standings were determL11ed in the same tournament.

Peru State was only two strokes behind District 11 winner Hastings College at the conclusion of the tournament.

Diamond Nine Drop Last Two

The Peru State College baseball team closed its season with two losses to Northwest Missouri State college in a double-header played at Maryville.

Northwest Missouri State outhit the Bobcats in the first game 8-4 and capitalized on Peru errors in the second game for a 7-1 win. The losses cut .the Peru State season record to four wins and eight losses. '

But Peru has a hitting potential for next season with all of its top seven hitters returning. Leading hitter with a .416 average is Terry Criger, Nebraska City, a freshman. The versatile Criger calls signals for the football team in the fall.

Following Criger is Danny Cotton, Hwnbolt, a sophomore who has a batting average of .320, serves as catcher and pitcher and has the home run record for the season with five.

Dan Jeanneret, Brock, a junior, batted .323 for the season-, The remaining leading batters are Jim Desbien, sophomore from Damar, Kans., 238; Bob Lessner, sophomore from Calumet City, Ill., .238; John Crose, freshman, Lincoln, .250; and Barry Silverstein, sophomore, Brooklyn, N.Y., 250.

Pitchers who won games include John Simon, Falls City, junior, 2; Gale Bly, Eigin, sophomore, 1, and Dan Cotton, 1.

strong hitting and the not-sostrong pitching. The team that can put the hitting and pitching together will win in the east. Zero picks the Mets, but it should be close.

The American League east has all but been handed to the Baltimore Orioles on the silver platter. The Orioles have possibly the best team in baseball, but don't count the Boston Red Sox out of it yet. Before the season is over the Sox may take all the marbles. With the Red Sox, as with so many teams, pitching is the question mark. Boston has the hitting and this is very evident in Fenway park. 'The pitching is improving so Boston can win it in its division.

The western division has belonged to the Minnesota Twins so long that for anyone else to win seems taboo. This isn't Minnesota's year. It looks like

the team from nakland may steal the show this vear. The biggest reason for this is two simple words, Vida Blue. Vida, Blue is not a disease, but he can grow on you. Blue is the hottest pitcher in baseball right now and looks as though he may be impossible to hit. When the rest of the A's pitching staff gets well the rest of the league had better watch out. A long range prediction in tht!, woilii of ·baseball is the Kansas City Royals. This team may surprise a few people this year and should be a genuine contender in the next year or two. KC is ' beginning to put it all together.

Just a note about football. Watchout for those Bobcats next year as they will put a tough football team on the field in 1971, and may even pull off a few surprises. As for who will be Number One on the major college scene there really isn't
