Senior Earl Brown, Cincinnati, Ohio, led the cagers in both scoring and rebounding until the arrival of forward, Ananias Montague early in the second semester. Coached by Jack Mcintire, the cagers were able to salvage only three home victories in an otherwise dismal season.

The Bobcats opened their 24-game season on November 23 with a 53-74 loss to Tarkio at Peru.

Oskaloosa, Iowa, was the scene December 3-4 of the William Penn Tournament where the Bobcats finished third. In the opening round they were handily defeated by Iowa Wesleyan, 56-98, but in the consolation round they regrouped their forces to · defeat Albert Lea College 89-74. Earl Brown gathered 26 rebounds in that contest, just two shy of the school record of 28 held by Mike Harmon in 1964.

The seventh loss of the year was handed out by the University of Nebraska at Omaha, 90-66.

Ananias Montague, Chicago, Illinois, celebrated his return to Peru after nearly a year's absence by tallying 28 points to take game honors. Kearney State was the next team to defeat Peru, 95-89, at Kearney.

In mid-January the 'Cats scored two consecutive home victories. The first of the two wins came at the expense of Wayne State, 74-68. At the time of the loss, Wayne was the Nebraska College Conference leader. Simpson College fell the following night, 86-71.

Doane avenged an earlier December defeat with a 65-63 double-overtime win at Doane. Peru's record fell to 5-11 as Bellevue College recorded an 87-81 decision.

The first of February found the Mavericks of the University of Nebraska at Omaha once again tangling with the 'Cats going home the victor, 74-69. Three days later, visiting Chadron escaped the 'Cats den with a 70-69 win. Kearney recorded the second straight one-point loss at home over Peru, 88-87.

A last second shot enabled Bellevue College to earn a 68-66 decision over the Bobcats. In Peru's next outing with Northwest Missouri State, the Missourians won easily, 83-69.

Peru finally snapped its four-game losing streak against Mount Marty, 85-72. It was the sixth victory in 22 starts for the 'Cats. Peru's home finale was

unusual from the outset, as a technical foul was called during the ·warmups;, 63 fouls were called in all. The Tarkio Owls dominated the second half with a man-to-man defense on their way to a 93-85 win, as Peru's record sank to 6-17.

It seemed only fitting that the hard luck Bobcats should end the season on a happy note as they slipped past Wayne, 75-7 4.

With a record of 7 wins and 17 losses, the Bobcats tied for third and fourth place with Wayne State in the NCC.

Alumni Ask, "What Can We Do to Help?"

Dear Peru Alumni:

Being new on the administrative staff at Peru, it has 1'een most heartening to observe the ground swell of interest expressed in recent weeks on campus in regard to the present and the future of the College. There have been numerous "rap" sessions involving students, administrators, board members, faculty, alumni, representatives of the press, and residents of communities in southeast Nebraska. My assessment is that these meetings have resulted in renewed confidence in the future of the College, resolve by the College to take affirmative steps to more effectively relate to the communities in our service area, and increased willingness OQ the part of all the groups represented to take positive steps to enlist more students for the College.

In reference to this last point, we at the College often receive inquiries from alumni who ask, "What can we do to help Peru? 11 This expression of interest is very encouraging to us. Our answer to this question is, "You can send us students or the names of students whom we may enroll at Peru. 11 If you alumni would each send us the names of at least five prospective students whom we may contact for enro 11 ment this fa 11, it would be one of the most important ways you can assist us.

Wi 11 you do this now, today?

I am looking forward to meeting each of you personally. When you are in the area, nothing would please me more than for you to stop by my office so we may get acquainted. l am eager to share with you the enthusiasm and optimism which is apparent on the campus.

New Studies Program to Allow Greater Flexibility in Basic Education

A new undergraduate general studies program at Peru State College, to become effective in September, 1973, is designed to allow students greater flexibility in basic education, according to a recent announcement by Max G. Smith, Acting Presi.dentof the college. ·

"Students at Peru State College will have much greater latitude of course selection beginning next fall as a result of the general studies program revision," Dr. Smith said.

Peru's general studies grogram has been studied by the Academic Affairs Commission, - faculty, administration and students during the past year, working in cooperation with Dr. Victor Lawhead, Dean of Undergraduate Studies at Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana.

"Under the new approach, innovative in Nebraska higher education, students will no longer be 'locked in' a required curriculum," Dr. Smith asserted.

From a broad range of courses, students will be encouraged to select those most relevant for them in light of their individual needs, preferences and specific career objectives.

General studies areas are designated Humanistic Learning, Social Learning, Scientific Learning and Technical Learning.

A salient feature is that the revised program takes into account past experiences of students, both educational and practical, allowing them to avoid needless repetition of information previously learned.

Students will have the option of spreading general education requirements over four full years of college, thus beginning course work in their area of specialization during their first and second years at Peru State.

"Previously," said Dr. Smith, "students took most of their general education requirements during the first two years, having to delay work directly relating to their career fields until their junior and senior years."

In English and mathematics, students ranking in the top 15 percent of the ACT entrance examination may waive introductory courses and may select advanced courses in the subject.

An example of increased subject·choice can be made in the field of speech. Formerly, all students have been required to take the 3 hour course, fundamentals of speech, as a requirement for graduation.

In the new Humanistic Learning communications area, students have the choice of one of five 3 hour courses-conference leading, fundamentals of speech, public speaking, beginning debate or introduction to radio and television--to meet the 3 hour requirement.

All subject areas offer similar freedom in meeting requirements. The total general studies requirement will be 40--45 hours.

Students now enrolled at Peru State College will be given the option of changing to the new general studies program and degree requirements in the 1973-74 college catalog.

A complete description of the general studies program will be included in Peru's 1973-1974 College Bulletin to be ready for distribution to prospective students, high school principals and counselors by February I, 1973.

Fire Overcomes Dr. Melvin

Dr. Keith Melvin, former Dean of Peru State College, died December 7, at his home in Peru. Death occured after the Peru fire department was summoned to the home to extinguish an electrical fire in the back portion of the home. He was 61 years of age.

Cause of death was not determined, but Peru fire and police officials reported that Dr. Melvin was in the upper part of the house assisting firemen when he collapsed. Mrs. Melvin was with neighbors after the fire broke out. Extensive smoke and water damage to the home was reported.

After 14 years as Peru State's Dean of the College, Dr. Melvin returned to classroom teaching in Jariuary, 1972. The Reynolds (Nebraska) native was a 1932 graduate of Peru State, and returned to his alma mater as Dean in 1957. He held a similar position at Mceook Junior College from 1946 to 1955.

After graduation from Peru, Dr. Melvin earned MA and Ed.D. degrees from the University of Nebraska. He taught mathematics and science at Upland, was coach and principal at Syracuse and served as superintendent at Blue Hill.

Funeral services were held December 11, at CaseyWitzenburg Chapel, Auburn. Burial was in Tecumseh. 4, Auburn Methodist Church minister, Dr. Gordon Patterson, conducted services.

Surviving are: his wife, Martha McDougal Melvin of the home; one daughter, Nancy Melvin, Phoenix, and one sister, Edna Melvin, Reynolds, Nebraska.
