10-9 Season Track Records Shattered; Success Met in Baseball, Golf, Tennis

Peru State athletes have taken advantage of unusually cooperative spring weather to turn out commendable performances in the four spring sports. Only one baseball game, the opener against Missouri Western College, had to be cancelled. In other track, tennis, baseball, and golf competition, schedules have been rearranged where weather interferred with the regularly scheduled events.

The Peru State track team coached by Jack Mcintire is off to one of its better seasons with school records broken or tied in nine events and prospects are more records to fall.

Jack Weyers, Sterling, who set the school mile, two-mile, three-mile, and six-mile runs in 1969, broke two records this spring with runs of 4:13.1 for the mile and 14:12.2 for the three-mile.

Calvin Smith, Pacific Junction, Iowa, Jim Hinton, Lake Charles, La., Dave Bierbaum, Griswold, Iowa, and John Winkle, Whittemore, Iowa, set a new time of 3:29.2, bettering the old record of 3:35.2. It was the second time year for the record to be broken.

Smith tied his school record'' of 49.1 in the 440yard dash, and set a new· record in the 880-yard run with a time of 1:53. 7. Smith was also a member of the distance medley teams ·that broke school records. The record 'fo.r the distance medley was first broken this season with a time of 10:23.5 at the Kearney State Relays by Weyers, Smith, Bierbaum, and Winkle. A week later that record again toppled when Smith, Bierbaum, Weyers, and Jay Hagerman, Humboldt, ran the event in 10:14.0 at the Kansas Relays. The same team broke the record again at the Drake Relays with a time of 10:13.3.

Leon Golden, Omaha, Jim Patera, Storm Lake, Iowa, and Bruce Brummer, Wilcox, and Bob Bowen, Cody, whittled three-tenths of a second off the 1967 480-yard shuttle hurdles record for a new record of 1 :07 .6. Da:ve Harris, Auburn, tied the 1967 school steeplechase record in 4:56.9.

Jim Hinton set a new school record in the javelin with a distance of 215' 3".

1967 Grad Reports Experiences Where America's Day Begins

Richard Dupancheel, '67, Box 1734, Agana, Guam 96910, wrote last April to report on teaching in place •Where America's Day Begins." He would like to correspond with Peruvians who are interested in the area.

Hafa Adai from Guam •. I to this letter "life on a tropical isle hut decided a better title would be •unhappiness is nerve gas." According to Senator Magnuson of Washington. the nerve gas being removed from Okinawa sliould be shipped to Guam because (and I quote the Senator) •TJiey don't mind it down· there." Doesn't exactly sound like a problem one would expect to encounter in a tropical paradise.

We arrived here in August, 1968. Recently we signed another two year teaching contract with the Government of Guam, thus, we expect to make this our home until the summer of 1972. Having come from a state of four seasons it takes approximately six months to adjust to continual summer with temperatures ranging from 78 to 93 all days of the year. I'm <?onvinced. there no ra.in like that which falls m a tropical reg10n durmg the rainy season. The first year we here it as if we had weekly typhoon warnmgs of cond1t1on 1, 2 and 3. O.nly two typhoons. hit Guam last Y.ear,. doing only mmo: damage. This not a sIDgle tropical depression ventured near. This has many of the elderly local people perdicting a real lulu. We read with interest of the cold spells you were suffering these past winters-please notice I said with interest and not with envy.

Each yea_r the teachers of Guam have a sponsorship program. This program is set up to help the teacher who is coming to Guam to be better prepared as to what to expect. We were fortunate this past year when the co up le we sponsoring turn• ed out to he another Peru Alumm, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Stette!lben:z;. We've .spent enjoyable conversations recalling mutual friends and events at the Peru <.:!ampus.

Each week my wife, the former Karolyn Lynch of Arnold, Nebraska, receives her hometown newspaper. We rather sadly read through the grocery salebills.

Each dollar received is used to assist Peru State College in areas of service not provided for by legislative appropr.iations. The major part of this effort has and is bemg used fo_r for worthy students and matching funds for the National Defense Student Loan Program.

Shortly after the first of the year - you can look forward to a request for a contribution for the new year - 1971! Along with this request will be an -hOnor roll, listing the contributors for the year 1970.. 1. h

Foundation Provides ContiBued Student Aid

Scholarships totaling $3,537.50 and matching funds of $4, 708 for the National Defense Student Loan program were paid by the Peru Achievement Foundation, Inc., for Peru State College students forthe 1976-71 fall semester.

This information was contained in the report of A. V. Larson, treasurer, to the trustees of the Peru · Achievement Foundation at their semi-annual meeting at Peru October 16.

The scholarships, awarded to 52 students, ranged in amounts from $25 to $100. The mate hing funds provided by the Peru Achievement Foundation since the inception of the National Defense act of 1958 now total $43,275.00. Total amount loaned, including matching fonds, federal allocations, loans and interest paia and re-loaned, include $404,000.00, through the current semester.

Trustees approved the awarding of ten $100 freshman achievement scholarships and seven $200 scholarships from the Charles E. Andrews Memorial fund. Twenty-one other scholarships provided from interest received from perpetual and annual gifts from alumni and friends will also be available next year. These range from $250 to $50.

Trw;tees voted to designate the five $100 scholarships to be given the second semester from the Vending Division of the Foundation as S. L. Clements scholarships. Mr. Clements, a 1912 graduate of Peru State, fotmer faculty member, and charter trustee of the P AF. is a resident of Elmwood •

The audit report for the fiscal year ending April 30, 1970, showed total investments of $66,493.45.

COLOR NOVEMBER 6, 1971 RED! IT'S 50th HOMECOMING DA TE!

The 50th homecoming of Peru State College has been set for November 6, 1971. Culver-StocKton of Canton, Mo., will provide the gridiron foe for the afternoon clash of the Peru State Bobcats.

Although plans for golden anniversary event have not as yet been formulated, undoubtedly a morning parade will again be a highlight of the day. The Classes of 1931and1946 will be the honored 40- and 25-year classes at the pre-homecoming eve reunion on November 5. Other classes of the years ending with 'P and '6' will be given special recognition at the all-alumni luncheon on homecoming.

Mark your calendars and plan to return to Peru for the 50th annual Homecoming!

PERUVIANS ARE EVERYWHERE!

While touring Europe during the summer, Dr. and Mrs. Neal S. Gomon experienced what has happened to many Peruvians-they found another Peruvian. While in a hotel elevator in Innsbruck, Austria, the Peru State president and his wife, Marion, had a chance conversation with a lady who was graduated from Peru in 1912. It was Mrs.Frank F. (Lydia) Adams, formerly of and now of Milwaukee, Wis. Her husband received his B.Ed. degree that same year.

After leaving Peru, the Adamses spent four y_ears at Valley and then went to the University of Nebraska. In 1917 they went to Havelock and when Frank entered the service for WWI, she was "drafted" to fill his place as superintendent of schools.

In January, 1922, the Adamses went to Milwaukee, where Frank was vice-president of Milwaukee State Teachers College for 22 years. In 1947 illness forced Mr. Adams to retire. After his death in 1959, Mrs. Adams has continued to live in Milwaukee, where her address is 3034 North Murray avenue.

Mrs. Adams was unable to be present for 50-class reunion in 1962, but she promised the Gomons that one _of her next trips would be to see them at the Campus of a Thousand Oaks.

Basketball

(continued from page 4)

South Dakota Technical College tournament at Rapid City and the William Penn Tournament at Oskaloosa, Iowa. In the South Dakota tournament, the Peru State Bobcats defeated Northern State College of Aberdeen, S.D., 95-82, and South Dakota Tech, 85-82. At the Penn tournament PSC defeated Lea C-ollege of Albert Lea, Minn., 72-65 and William Penn in a squeaker, 53-52. .

The Bobcats o_pened the season with a 76-66 defeat of Tarkio College at Tarkio, Mo., and won over basketball newcomer Mount Marty College at Y ton, S.D., 84-65. In the only home game at time, PSC defeated Pershing College of Beatrice by 93-58.

Leading scorer at the end 01 seven games 1s 6-7 senior center Larry Green, who h:is averaged 21 points and taken reboundmg honors with an average of 11 per game.

Sophomore forward Ananias is runner-up in scoring and reboundmg w_ith_ an average of 15 points and 10 rebounds. Wilkms, senior guard from Lake Charles, La., third man on the team to score in double figures each game has a 13-point average while commanding the flaor play of the Bobcats. .

While the team has won its first seven games, it is still untested in the Nebraska Conferenc:e which appears to be a tough one this season with Kearney State, Wayne State and Chadron State all fielding strong teams.

Mcintire, who has played m. and. all major sports at Peru State some.time in his career, has piled up an enviable 221 wms and 139 losses in basketball at State.

Wrestling Added to Program

Wrestling was added to the intercollegiate athletic competition at Peru State for the first time this winter with Harlan Krein, assistant football coach, taking duties as head coach.

Interest in the new sport is running high with an 18-man squad ranging in weights from 118 pounds to 190 pounds. Meets liave been scheduled with Concordia College, Midland College, and Doane College.

North Central Continued for Peru State

Peru State College been continued as a fullyaccredited bachelor's degree-granting institution, oy the North Central As.sociation of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Continued accreditation is based upon the report of examiners who visited the campus in the spring and discussion before the committees of the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education in Chicago July 24, 1970. Peru State has been fully-accredited as a bachelor's degree-_granting institution since 1923.

In the letter advising Dr. Neal S. Gomon, Peru State president, of the decision, concern was expressed particularly with regard to the lack of a sufficient level of funding to enable the institution to make more significant progress in correcting weaknesses as pointed out in the examiners' report.

Students' Yearbook Efforts Keep Tradition

Thanks to a determined group of Peru State College students, a tradition which began in 1902 will be continued at the Campus of a Thousand Oaks.

The Peruvian, college yearbook, wi!l be for the current school year, accordmg to Wilham Miles, instructor of sociology who is serving as co-sponsor. history at Peru State started with the Goldenrod in 1902, and continued with the Oak Leaf in 1907. The Peruvian dates from 1908 and is continuous except for two years during World Waz II, when low enrollment curtailed the book.

The life of the yearbook was threatened when budgetary cuts eliminated its allocation from student fees. Through the leadership from Student Association and the Student Center Board, a campaign was conducted and enough yearbooks were sold at seven dollars a copy to make possible the signing of the contract with a yearbook publisher. Sales are continuing. .

Miss Christie Ubben, senior from Peru, will serve as editor-in-chief, with Greg Thompson, Plattsmouth, serving as production editor. Miss Jody Bukacek, Tabor, Iowa, is business manager. Russell Beldin, instructor of business is a co-sponsor.

Other staff members include: Nancy Stoll, Gres· ham, copy editor; Nancy ij,hoden, Lincoln, layout editor; Mary Obbink, Nebraska City, photography editor; Mike Summers, Harvey, Ill., John Thomas, Falls City, and Carla Mosier, Nebraska City, photographers.

New Pate Hall Popular with Apartments New Residents

With the fall semester, eight apartments in W.R. Pate Hall at Centennial complex were occupied. Included are two two-bedroom apartments and six one-bedroom apartments for married students. The suite-type accommodations were converted to arartments fiy adding kitchen equipment in one o the existing bedrooms. Occupants have expressed pleasure with the apartments.

The new semester saw a major shift of the residence hall fopulation as women student in Eliza Morgan Hal were assigned to Delzell Men's hall. The change was necessitated when the conversion and modernization of the heating system was not completed because of delays in receiving equipment. Men students occupy A. D. Majors Hall and in Clayburn-Mathews Halls at Centennial Complex. When Eliza Morgan is ready, the girls will re-occupy the fac:ility and then Delzell Hall will undergo renovation.

Delivery delays slowed work on the remodeling and refurbishing of Hoyt Science Hall. Also scheduled for September _l completion, classrooms and laboratories have been utilized in other c_ampus buildings until the project is completed.

A $159 ,300 project to renovate the fire protection systems in all campus buildings is still underway. Among the projects are installation of fire esca_pes on T. J. Majors Education hall, Gymnasium, Eliza Morgan and Delzell .halls; re-wiring of Education Hall, and installation of wire glass at entrances of Student Center and Centennial Complex. The completed project will bring structures mto compliance with state fire marshal requirements.

During summer months the Health Center was remodelea and refurbished, with treatment and first aid stations relocated on the first floor and the quarters of the college nurse occupying the second floor.

1952 Grad Engaged in Fruit Fly Research

Dr. David L. Williamson, '52, associate of anatomy at Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, is engaged in an extensive study of the sex ratio spirochete in Drosophia nebulosa (fruit fly). His work has aroused the interest of the world's scientists with whom he shared his eight years of research at the 12th annual International Conference of Genetics in Tokyo in 1968.

Working for a number of _years under a National Science Foundation grant, Dr. Williamson has and is .searching for a wav, to conti:ol the sex ratio spirochete m Drosoph:1,a and discover why they specifically eliminate the birth of male fruit flies. Dr. Williamson hopes his research results might one day add to current knowledge of what distorts the sex ratio in humans, why some men are sterile and IO

how the spirochetes causing syphillis and related diseases can be controlled.

Despite his years of research, Dr. Williamson is the first to admit more work needs to be done, and anticipates continuing the study which began when he worked at Yale on National Institutes of Health post-doctoral fellowships from 1961-64. The two preceding years, he studied in France under a FulbrigJit scholarship.

He holds MS and PhD degrees from the UniversitI of Nebraska. He has been a member of the staff of WMC since 1964, where he is now associate professor. In add it ion to his re search, Dr. Williamson teaches genetics to first rear medical students. The Williamsons live at 3 20 School House Lane, Philadelphia.

the boonies and shelling when the tide is low and the js exp?sed. Mt. Laml.am .on Guam is jokingly called the highest mountain m the world." It is only 3,400 feet above sea level but it begins at the bottom of the Marianas Trench which is the deepest spot found in the oceans. This would make Mt. Lamlam seven miles high if you started at the bottom. Of course, we only hiked up the last 3,400 feet.

One of our favorite hiking spots is the tank farm which is a spot up in the mountains where American and Japanese tanks fought during World War II and where the tanks. have been settin_g the past 25 years. Many remmders of the Pacific war· can be seen-Japanese pill boxes, old landing barges, caves used as hideouts by both sides, etc.

1:'oday thousands of Japanese come here as tourists. In. fact, is fast becoming the major money bus mess. Served by four airlines and numerous shipping lines, the flow of visitors never st?ps. Presently three new hotels are in operat10n-three more under construction, including the Hilton.

Because Guam is the first land mass of American territory west of the International Date Line a slogan has been developed which says "Guam USAWhere America's Day Begins". This is because we are one day ahead of you. Guamanians are proud of their United States citizenship. It is noteworthy that 57 Guamanian soldiers have lost their lives in V.iet Nam, a figure, when compared to the size of the population, than that of any state in the nation.

We have done some traveling. Last summer we spent in Japan. This coming summer we expect to go around the world, ending up at Home. Our Nebraska visit is the most eagerly anticipated I'm sure.

Life on Guam is always interesting and at times most enlightening. Of course, as life i.n any area, there are times when we'd like to solve the problems facing us by packing our bags. But we like to look for the bright side of things. My wife likes to keep in mind a little poem which begins, "'You have to believe in happiness ·or happiness never comes."
