Kelly Evers crowne Miss Offutt for 1976

By Randy Dunlap

Crowned Miss Offutt on August at Peony Park in Omaha. Kelly Evers, a Peru State Junior, became the first of many local beauty queens to vie for the title of Miss Nebraska 1976.

The six contestants in this years pageant met nightly for a month preparing for the final competition at Peony Park. Poise, speaking ability and appearance all figured heavily into the judging.

However, the individual talent presentations were the most important part of the pageant. Ms. Evers indicated that she would "have been the first· person to drop the whole idea if it had been anything else."

Kelly went on to say that Miss Offutt is more than Just a Beauty Queen contest, "Here your Personality is more the deciding factor rather than your figure."

"Everyone asked me why I didn't dance or play the Piano

instead of using the act I entered" Kelly said. Although Ms. Evers is talented in both areas, she chose an old family folk tale centered around a character named "Little Orphan Annie."

"The story is one that has been handed down thropgh our family for years" she said, "I found a written version of it that is incredibly old and took my act from that. Her preformance was the clincher.

State pageant officials will keep Kelly busy this winter with appearances at other beauty contests as well as premotional appearances in preparation for next years Miss Nebraska Contest.

Born in Cambrige, England to Air Force Parents, Kelly, 19, has lived most of her life in the south.

A transfer student to Peru in the fall of 1974 from Auburn State University .in Alabama. Kelly is majoring in Education and would like to teach Journalism and Art at the high school level when she graduates.

Brownville will fiddle August 29 thru 31

Brownville is anticipating its fifteenth annual National Fiddle and Country Music Contest August 29, 30 and 31. Sponsored by the Brownville Historical Society, the contest offers competitive divisio!ls in fiddling, picking, and combos, and a total of $1,900 m award money.

The contest will be held just north of the Brownville State Recreation Area on the river front, and offers a varied calendar of events. A Junior Competition for musicians up to eighteen years old will be held Friday at 8:00 P.M. Saturday offers an allday singing contest and a Bluegrass Concert at 8:00 P.M. Sunday's activities include Picker, Fiddler and Combo Comwith finals being held at 6:30 P.M. Students meeting behmd the Student Center at 7:00 P.M. will be provided transportation to the Saturday night concert by the college for 50c round trip.

Between 20,000 and 25,000 people are expected for the weekend activities, says Mrs. Charles Hahn, chairman for the event. In the past the contest has attracted an enthusiastic and cooperative crowd, many of them college students. Mrs. Hahn remarked that the state had complimented the contest-goers on their cleaning of the park after the events'. Camping facilities are available nearby.

Fiddling contests are becoming increasingly popular, attended both by rural listeners who have been steeped in the intricate patterns and traditions of the tunes, and the more urban listener who may approach the fiddling from a completely naive and spontaneous perspective. Somehow the fiddling overcomes even the most insensitive expectation and becomes something special, something extraordinary, for almost everyone.

The following poem, by Alma Fenwick, is the result of spending fifteen hours at the Galax Fiddlers Convention in Galax, Virginia. Galax, the "proud grandmother" of the Appalachian Region fiddlers-convention tradition, attracts performers from all over the world.

Most of current troubles large and small stem from one major shortagem?ney. In this age of budgets cuts <which all of the college's dept's will feel this). It might appropriate to look into methods of generrating new funds rather then just the old ones. Unfortunatly we will not find one wonder drug, cure all solution to our money wo's. The answers will come in bits and pieces and we're going to have to dig for them.

This college belongs to the students, not the faculty, not the administration and not th.e Board of Trustees. We must look to ourselves for answers and leadership to stimulate Peru. State out of current financial doldrums.

The Student board is a good place to start. They have the job of providing most of:the services to students here as well as managing our student Center. Their budget is very small for such a large task. We also have in our midst a classi example of a traditional exploiter.

Twenty-seven people died in Nebraska motorcycle accidents last year. Had 12 of the victims been wearing motorcycle helmets, they would be alive today. But, they didn't wear helmets and they died of head injuries. One fourth of 481 motorcycle operators involved in personal injury accidents suffered head injuries.

Why do we have this human carnage in our beautiful state we call, "Nebraska'"?? It is the price we pay, in blood, for every year the Nebraska Unicameral procrastinate and falter in their efforts to pass a mandatory helmet law. ·

It is true that the legislators passed a helmet bill in 1967 and again in 1972. In both cases, court actions found that the legislature had omitted or cause some kind of legal techrucal flaw to make the bills inoperative. The motorcycle helmet bill came up again during the 1975 session of the Nebraska Unicameral. Officially known. as LB 328, the bill was indefinitely postponed or "killed" by a 23-20 vote of the lawmakers on April 7, 1975. The Unicameral reconsidered the bill eight days later under pressure by the Federal Government. Facing the loss of $7 million in highway funds being witheld by the Fe1eral Government, the Unicameral passed the LB 328 bill on May 21, 1975.

The failure of helmet bills, passed in 1967 and 1972, to withstand court tests is quite understandable. The Unicameral, due to its human nature, cannot be ex-

We probably won't have to face soviet troops in Peru in our life time but the closing of Peru State College is an inevitability at present rate.

A year ago the governor of Nebraska made a pledge that PSC would remain open. First of all there is a promise from a democratic governor in a Republican state and secondly open as what-a penal reform complex? Peru's number one calling card is its athletic Program. Regardless of your opinion of the priority athletics should take in College affairs at Peru, this is a fact. Our gym was once a chapel at one time and should not be in a museum. Yet the funds that were planned for Peru's new gym were cut from this years budget not postponed or delayed, which would indicate a polite political no but out right cut by the legislative. This cause and the help of a new astro turf football field for UNO last year and a $760,000 'coaling system' this year for the same school (must be same air conditioning) the people, including our State Representatives, who said Peru

College always be here also voted for a budget this year that gave Peru State College the smallest amount of money for reservation of buildings of any State college in 1975-76 $50,000 as compared to $75,000 for Chadron and Wayne and $100,000 for Kearney. No one can expect students to come to a school thats falling apart or will be shortly and that appears to be the Plan, a defacto closing of PSC. By failing to improve the campus situation by appropreating needed funds, it is obvious that a decreasing involvement will follow and eventually the closing of the College.

Who can this benefit-certainly not the People of South East Nebraska expecially the towns of Peru, Auburn and Nebraska City. The Next question is what can be done to stop the trend? The answer is fight, Not with fist but with Ideas and dollars.

The ·College needs money and the student body needs leadership. One leads to the other. Pay particular attention to what your Student Goverment and Student Center board are doing this year-take an active constructive part in your College community instead of crying and complaining about it like a child.

Rescue Volenteers on call-

By Betty Adams

1-5855. Remember that telephone number. Emergency medical care will be available within minutes after you dial, thanks to the Peru Rescue Squad. Since the Rescue Squad was organized three years ago, a corps of volunteers have provided the college and community with round-theclock emergency care. Since the squad's inception, over 100,000 man-hours have been donated. Figure it out for yourself.

Sound impossible? Well, only through good organization and real dedication can a projed such as this be undertaken. There are some twenty-six people within the community who are divided into seven teams. One of these teams is on call every day from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. The other six teams are each on call one night a week and alternate duties in shifts on weekends.

When a call is placed to the Rescue Squad, a diverter at the squad headquarters automatically channels the call to a team captain or member of a team whose number is placed into the diverter. The rescue volunteer then notifies the other members of his team and the team is in action immediately.

In the past three years, the squad has answered 90 emergency medical calls. Besides these calls, the Rescue Squad also accompanies the fire department to all fires; provides ambulance service at area athletic events; and have also responded once to a. tornado watch. The Rescue Squad was founded due to the need of emergency service in Peru. Before the squad was organized, Peru residents had to wait until an ambulance could respond from Auburn or Nebraska City. This meant 20 to 30 precious minutes were lost in an emergency situation. In 1973, the City of Peru purchased the ambulance which the squad now uses. A community fund

drive· was organized to obtain the necessary equipment and over $1,500.00 was collected. Consequently, Peru's ambulance has a complete supply of emergency supplies ranging from splints to a respiratorresusitator. The ambulance is housed in the building along with the Peru Fire Department units.

To become a squad member, one must have passed a Red Cross First Aid course such as that offered by the college. Members are encouraged to come to the squad's monthly meetings where first aid techniques are reviewed, instruction is given, and plans for the squad are made.

August 29, 30, 31

Do you think you may be interested in joining the Rescue Squad? New members are always needed and welcomed. Can you spare an evening a week or one weekend a month? It may sound like a lot of time given up, but any squad member can tell you how rewarding the work is and how great it feels to think that you and your team are responsible for saving just one life. If you would like to join, call Otto Giesecke, Don Yates, or Mrs. Rex Mcconnaughey who are all officers of the squad this year. They will be able to giVe you details.

Bob McAdams, owner of Duffy's Tavern. The Front Page has taken on a new look over the summer. John Schmidt attributes many of these changes to the presence of Pam, his wife of June 14. The bar has increased in capacity and tables with checkered tableclothes have replaced the old booths. The pool table is still around and pinball machines are there for all of those hooked on the electrical intricasies of these games. All in all, it's a new atmosphere entirely at the Front Page. John has many plans and ideas for. this semester. He will again be having two-fer nights; live entertainment is being planned; and for a change of pace, a female pool tournament is in the making. Schmidt, who is president of the Chamber of Commerce and has ·held a position as councilman of Peru for two years, really feels that the town can offer a lot to the students. "I don't know if the kids realize the opportunitles of going to school in a small t.own; they have a chance to become part of the communit arid this

can only help them grow in the college experience."

Bob and Ruby McAdams, as the owners of Duffy's are more or less a tradition here at Peru. Fo.r five years, Duffy's has been the hangout for after-games or any-other-miscellaneous reason for getting together and having a good time. Besides the pool table which usually sees hundred of hours of use, the game room in Duffy's is complete with foosball, a tank game, and pinball machines. The liquor store which was opened last year as an addition to Duffy's will also be convenient for all of you who prefer a quiet drink or two at home. McAdams is known to be one of the town's most active supporters of the athletic programs at Peru State. You will almost always see him at all the games. Last spring he was a spearhead for organizing a smoker to finance the spring sp<>rts program. This was only one of the few times Bob has been there to help out the students and promote their interest.

Foundation Kicks in new funds

PERU, NE.-The Peru Achievement Foundation has presented a check for $11,106.67 to Peru State College. The entire amount is designated as matching funds for the National Defense Student Loan program.

The Foundation has provided· $78,659 in funds for NDSL since 1958, Executive Officer Bill Snyder reports. To this amount has been added $707 ,925 by the Federal government.

Loaned to· ,over 1,200 Peru State students showing financial need, the money has enabled many to complete college who otherwise would not, according to Snyder.

Area businesses, alumni and friends of Peru State contributing tax deductible dollars to the PAF have assisted the Foundation in raising its portion of NDSL funds. The government's share for the coming academic year is $118,595.

The P AF is asked to raise $13,772.22 by June 30, l976 to be matched nine for · one, $123,949.98 Federal funds, for 1976-77 NDSL loans.

Bobcats Train Under New Coach

Bobcats Face ·Highlands ..

Friday

The bobcats will face Highlands Jr: College this Friday at 7:30 in the Oak Bowl for the first real football action of year.

d

Corky Duffield, who will be the signal caller this fall, shows his passing arm that will boost the potent Wishbone offense the Bobcats will be using.

Peru's Football squad started the >'eason with 27 returning lettermen. Of the 27 returning lettermen, 13 are on defense. Peru's defense ranked 15th in the nation last year in total defense. The secondary personal will have experience in all four position with four returning lettermen. The defense line just like the secondary will have ample experience with 5 lettermen. The average weight for a Peru defensive linemen will be 225 pounds. Line backers will have experience in both positions with 5 lettermen returning this year. Peru's defensive set up will be different this year with the use of a fifty-two type defense. The defense of last year used 3 line backers instead of a middle guard, the new defense will use a middle guard.

The offensive team which have 14 returning lettermen, of the 14 lettermen, 8 are on the line. The line is some what inexperienced. The line may see some shifting among positions for this type of offense which is the wishbone. The blocking ability that they have demonstrated have pleased the coaching staff, one of the biggest problem that the line coach faces is 1· e depth problem. There are p ssibilities of a defensive line1 en being switched over to a offensive unit because of a shortage.

The offensive backfield have 6 lettermen, with experience in all positions but

the Quarterbacking job should fall in the hands of a Freshman.

The offense in comparison to last years team will be a team with a balance attack of both passing and running. Barring injuries the Bobcat Football team should and will beat Midland College in their opening game to start a great year for Peru State College.

This scrimage will offer Peru a unique opportunity to get a first hand look at the explosive wishbone new Head coach Jerry Joy has brought to Peru's 1975 Bobcats.

Cuppled with a change in Peru's defensive strategy this preseason tussle will give supporters a look at how the team will perform against their first regular season opponents Midland Jr. College. '

There will be a watermelon feed after the game to which all Peru students are invited to meet and talk with Coach Joy, Dwine, Pitts and the rest of the 1975 Bobcat football team.

Riley goes to Wyoming

Bob Riley, head football coach for the last one and a half years, resigned on June 8, 1975 for a similar position as head football coach at Kelly Walsh High School in Casper Wyoming.

Kelly Walsh High is a school that is less than ten years old and plays in class AA, the largest class in Wyoming. The enrollment is 1,800 with a 3 class high school.

Coach Riley stated that athletics in a small college plays a large role in the amount of enrollement, plus brings a student body closer together.

The support of the football team by the student body and surrounding communities was good, but could have been better. A football team always plays better when a crowd is backing a team, and at a few games the crowd could have been larger.

Fall sports are upon us once again which means Football, Volleyball and Cross Country. Do you plan to follow them in person or by the media?

Could the answer be that Peru happens to be a suitcase college or that the game is to far away to drive or what? The answers could flow out for hours. I have attended Peru for two years and for those two years the main complaint has always been "There's nothing to do at this college." Well should a complaint of this nature arise and there is an athletic event going on why not go there and ease your boredom for a few hours.

Cheerleaders

For Upcoming Year

by Sue Sparr

What are the duties of a cheerleader?

We are to help support and promote school spirit. We can't do it alone because it takes a majority to get school support and so far we don't have a majority of the Peru State students behind us.

What are your responsibilities as a cheerleader?

Besides the definition of us as cheerleaders, we do extra things for the school. Beofre we decorate the locker rooms, make posters and try to have some pep rallies. Sometimes on the evening before a game we serve sandwiches to the team at the Bob Inn. Last year, the cheerleaders helped represent the school in the Bicentennial parade.

Are you planning supportive activities for the teams and the students this fall?

As far as victory rallies or pep rallies go--we'd like to have one before the first game, Sept. 6, but we have to get together with other organizations for more planning.

What are your new uniforms going to look like?

The new outfits are not officially decided upon yet but we will wear knee socks instead of bobby socks. We have good tennis shoes instead of oxfords and a new type of skirt plus an emblem for our sweaters. It may take time before the outfits are complete.

Will you travel with the team this fall on away games?

We have traveled to away games depending on the school for transportation, (l remember one away game at Dana College when we were the only people from Peru to show up and the basketball team _really appreciated it).

The problem of transportation and money· hamper away game participation. It would be nice if we had an official bus to carry supporters but that is hard to get.

Whnt kind of rules cover cheerleading?

The rules of a cheerleader is that it comes before dates or other activities. We have practice times set up and if a girl does not attend she doesn't cheer.

What do you feel is a good cheerleader?

A good cheerleader is one who can and wants to represent her school. She has a good smile and some amount of athletic ability.

Marty Dwine el Coach of the, Year

by Tom Banks

With two N.C.C. wrestling championships under his belt, the Nebraska College Coach of the Year, Marty Dwine, talks about what he predicts will be Nebraska's number one rated wrestling team.

Q. Did Peru's regular season performance or tournament or tournament success weigh the heaviest in being selected Nebraska College Coach of the Year?

A. Placing. high in the regular season tournaments plus a 13th place finish in the National Wrestling Championships made the difference in being selected Coach of the year.

Q. How did you hear about Peru and what brought you here?

A. A year or so before Peru started wrestling, Dr. Pitts, who I knew real well, told me that Peru, was starting a wrestling program and I wanted. the job, but Harlen Krein was already here so he coached Peru's first wrestling team. That was my first connection. When Coach Monso left, they contacted me and asked me if I wanted the mob. I really wanted the job. I really wanted the job because there was so much potential. Right now they have a real good chance of being number one in the nation.

Q. What is your wrestling record at Peru?

A. Thirty-six wins and seven losses, we have won the N.C.C. TWICE, District 11 once and nailed down a second place in the prestigous Central Missouri State Tournament. At this tournament we faced teams such as Southern Illinois Edwardsville

Illinois State, Eastern Illinois, Kansas State, and Central Oklahoma. We also landed third at the sixteen team Coe Invitational tournament, at which Hofstra University of New York City wrestled, and when they come down you know it's going to be a big tournament.

Q. How many meets will Peru face this year and how will the squad do?

A. We are wrestling over thirty duals this year. Last year we missed a national dual record by one. If everything goes right, we should get that record. We are wrestling in nine tournaments, starting the seson off with the Northwest Missouri State Tourna'ment on November 26. We are taking some trips this year. We are going to Colorado for one of the trip meets. Sonre of the duals this year are with University of Nebraska at Lincoln, University of Nebraska at Omaha, Central State Oklahoma; and Southern Illinois, Edwardsville. This last school does not sound like much, but they have over 22,000 students. They finished second in the N.C.A.A. division II last year. It's a tough schedule but it is the only way to move up, and we have the talent to do it.

Q. As Assistant Football Coach, what do you think Peru State Football Team will be like this year?

A. Peru State could easily be 7-3 this year. The season outlook depends on the opening game. If Peru defeats Midland, Peru could be 5-0 before they meet Kearney on Homecoming. Peru's defense, which ranked 15 in the n;:i tion, has nine returning starters.

Peru's 1975 Bobcat Baseball

, Club ended the season on a 2-4 conference record behind Kearney and Wayne. The Bobcats compiled an overall record of 9 wins against 9 loses.

Bocat baseball started off with a fast and furious pace

Of the eighteen games played, the Bobcats' 2 games series with Chadron shaped up to be most important games of the season. These wins would habe given Peru a 3-1 league record, but ended up splitting one game

Elected to 1975-76 cheerleader posts at PSC are: (clockwise) Jean Colbert, Weeping Water sophomore; Kelly Evers; Omaha junior; Suzy Dunn, Beatrice sophomore; Virginia Usher, Humboldt sophomore and Janet Vance, Ralston junior. Freshmen alternates will be selected this fall.

apiece. The Kearney series was won by Kearney and Peru ended up with a 2-4 league record.

Mike Sieler, a freshman from San Antonio, Texas was the most valuable pitcher for the 1975 Bobcat Baseball Club. Sieler pitched a most important game against Wayne and won on a 3-hitter.

Peru was very well represented on the district allstar team. Dave Rombach, Dale Patton, Bud Kimball were voted first team. Dave McDanials was honorable mention.

The 1976 team should be experienced with 6 out of last years 9 returning. Coach Fit· zgerald and the team are looking forward to a successful season this year.

Coac_h Marty Dwine, voted Nebraska Coach of the Year predicts that Peru State will be No. 1 state-wide in wrestling H; also felt the Bobcat football team will have a good season.

Women Facing Social Barrier

by Kathy Hamann

Growing up in my neighborhood girls who were tomboys were glamorous. Climbing trees, batting balls-these were things boys did and everything knew they were better than girls. If you, a female, did them too, you could be as popular as Mickey Mantle. My sixth grade swan song was beating the boys in the 50 yard dash. The trouble was that afterwards they kept right on running (not to mention tackling, hurdling, pole vaulting, wrestling, and sinking baskets) while I asummed the traditional role for a girlwatching them. The only other socially-acceptable optioncheerleading-was limited to a handful of cute-girls-with-good personalities. Once on the squad. students admired you more for your bubliness than for your coordination. For noncheering females, puberty used to sound the death knell for most athletic achievement; the sports we had· been playing were suddenly considered unfemine. ·

But this is before the women's movement. Before the media began showing everyone images of real live sportswomen. Before Title IX. Before Billie Jean King. Before a bundle of intertwined causes and effects changed our cultures' established notions on women and athletics. We are still flux, but from the confusion emerges the likelihood that things will never be as they were before. WE've tried them and we like them and we won't give them up, say more and more women about the sports the discovered.

It is on college campuses .where the most dramatic changes have occured. The opportunity to be an athletic falls off for both sexes after graduation, when most people suddenly fine themselves too cramped for time, money, and space to participate in sports, and professional careers, especially for women, are open to top few. But even on college campuses with modest facilities condtions now exist for women to challenge themselves and each other in a range of activities.

For some women, this new sports awareness means taking up tennis or digging up an old pair of ice skates and using them once or twice a weekwhich to most people is enough. But for others, a serious commitment prevails, often to a team of other women who depend on each other to show up for practice and work together to win, either intramural or intercollegiate level. Just what takes a women to ·the point, where it's not only how you play the game but whether you win or lose as well.

To start with it is now acceptable to be strong. A hippo of a lady wrestler is far from my ideal, but thinness, in the wake of the current emphasis of health, has ceased to be an ending itself. The same sexufil revolution now storms within the sports revolution. To be an athletic takes well-developed muscles; as more and more women near againest the concept that theirs is the intellectually weaker sex, they also question the equation of frailty and feminnity. Physiologically, a female's body, on the average, can never ival a male's in strength. But

our frames can certainly be firmed and toned to function well as sports equipment. There have always been women in sports but never as many as now, especially not in team sports. The supposition was that sports were unfeminine and at ,the worst, homosexual. The jock image still haunts many a locker room. In fact, women athletics, with no female role models to follow often to at least look the part.

If you're now apologizing for your participation in women's sports you'll hold on to the old view of a women's role alsoyou'll still believe that women should cling to one husband, never curse, never go into a bar alone But this will probably change. In a time when plenty of non-athletes buy sneakers and· sweatsuits; women teammates begin to call themselves jocks with both sarcasm and pride.

Often, women in college sports are highly motivated achievers, people accustomed to working hard and doing well. I wonder what people who don't do sports do with their excess energy. A sincere obligation to a team translates into hours of daily pratice. For a team, that slice may be sandwiched 1 etween that of men's sessions ·which can mean hours that are inconvenient as well as long. But is it just. tension that is· released when we run around a track or smack a softball? Is it not the very essence of competition to let loose one's demon's in the form of agression? It is only recently that most people even allowed that women have an agressive

is of two women-one winner, one loser-sharing a chatty lunch after a set of tennis. Men take their playing more seriously, they say, and this is the way it is suppose to be? Women are becoming more able to show agression In the past we were encouraged to play ladylike and wear silk stockings on the bus.

Many women see agression as

a quality they do not wish to develop. Leave it to the men, that snarl. Who needs it? There is a definate emphasis on physical strength and health, rather than a ruthless, blood. thris ty competitiveness. Nevertheless, many women have tasted the sweet wine of winning-and gotten high. To them, funneling aggression into competition is not only healthy, but a pleasure.

Registration for college classes at Peru State College officially opened at 8 a.m., August 25, in the Peru State Gym. Upperclassmen were registered for .classes on August 25th while the Freshmen signed up for classes on the 26th of August.

Night class registrations were taken the evening of August 27th. Ten different classes, ranging from Art to Physical Education will be offered for night class credit.

Day-time students were offered courses in programs ranging from Applied Arts and Technology, Education, Physical Education, Humanities and Natural Sciences.·

According to Gary Hoemann, admissions director, the student

retention rate (number of students comiilg back from last semester) was better than last year, indicating that this year's enrollment will be as good or better than last year's enrollment.

Dr. Kelly Liewer, registrar for Peru State, stated that preliminary figures are not in yet, but his impression is that the enrollment figures will be as good or better than last year. Enrollment figures will not be available for a couple of weeks as there are other classes still being offered and registrations are still being taken.

Dr. Llewer wants to remind students that the final date to register or add classes is Friday, Sept. 5th. There will be a $5 fee for late registration, though.

Pay Washers In Complex

"It's a sign of the changing times," said John Letts, director of student housing, as PSC students, returning to the dorms this fall, find themselves having to dig into their pockets and feed 35c into the recently installed coin-operated washing and drying machines.

Mr. John Letts explained that some of the washing machines are 8-10 years old and the cost of upkeep is getting uneconomical. For several years, the Colleges have asked themselves whether they have enough money to pay for replacement· machines, but the answer was always negative. This summer, a washing machine rental company contacted the college for possible rentals of washers and dryers. The college decided that it sounded very .economical so the old wheezer-bangers were "retired" and the new coinoperated machines were in-

stalled.

Mr. Letts al:.·eady has received complaints and criticisms about the 35c charge, which is five cents and twentyfive cents higher than the washers and dryers repectively in the downtown laundromat. And the fewer number of washing machines is causing a few traffic jams in the dorm laundry rooms.

Mr. Letts also explained that with the coin-operated machines, the college will be getting some revenues from the machines as they split the commissions with the rental company.

Swing Tryouts Held Yesterday for Choir

Tryouts for Peru State Swing Choir will be September 2 at 7:00 p.m. in FA 111. This group consists of an even number of men and women and ·usually totals 16 to 20 members.

Conducted by Dr. Edward Camealy, the group's repertoire is made up of popular songs of the last few years and some choreography, led last year by Miss Jeanne Remington.

When the tryouts are over, the number of students involved and their time availability will enable Dr. Camealy to set up a schedule. He is also planning to hold a clinic for high school choirs to be held in the latter part of October.

Although no figures are available yet sources in the administration record number of freshmen registered for classes last week. Including the large number of re.turning upper-classmen and transfers it is predicted that enrollment will be up again this year.

Fell Readies Art Department for New Year

Paul Fell has been appointed instructor of art in Peru State College's Division. of Performing Arts this fall.

The full time art position was added to support the Midplains Culture Studies program funded by the 1974-75 Legislature. Fell will instruct in this program as well as in the traditional art classes, according to Dr. Clyde Barrett, Vice President of Academic Affairs.

Senior high school art teacher a_t Auburn since 1968, Fell is a 1967 graduate of Peru State and completed his mascers degree in education at Kearney State in 1973.

The Worcester, Mass., native taught art one year at East

Jordan, Mich. High School before joining the AHS staff.

He is past president of the · AHS branch of the Nebraska State Education Association and also holds memberships in the Nebraska Education Association, Nebraska Art Teachers Association and National Art Education Association.

Some PSC art students in recent years worked under Fell when he taught night classes at the college.

Dr. Leland Sherwood, ·division of performing arts chairman and a former professor of Fell during his undergraduate work, said, "Paul is well known for his art expertise and can make a great

contribution to the community, area and college. His ability in art and fine arts is an added dimension to the division."

Currently staff artist for Maverick Media, Syracuse, and cartoonist for the Lincoln Journal, Fell has presented one man shows in Nebraska and Kansas since 1970. He currently has painting and drawing displayed in galleries in both states as well as in private collections in Nebraska, Kansas, Massachusetts and California.

Mr. Fell and his wife, Arlene, live in Peru. Mrs. Fell will begin her second year as instructor of family, home and consumer economics at PSC this fall.

Dr. Camealy stated that no definite program schedule is available yet because the bulk of their programs are for civic groups and school assemblies around the immediate area.

In a phone interview, Dr. Camealy said that he is anticipating a very good group this year. He said, "We have the returnees· from last year's group plus many fine students from high school swing choirs." The tryouts are for everyone and the results will be posted afterwards.

Paul Fell, new art instructor at Peru, takes time out to demonstrate techniques to his oil painting class.

Many local residents and PSC grads remember Victor Jindra as a good friend, a talented man, anc a big Peru booster. Thii obituary column carried the usual information about Vic. He died last week at the age of 82 years.

Most students never heard of the' man-and there is no earth-shaking reason why they should have. He wasn't an earth-shaking man. Vic was a down-to-earth man devoted to teaching and Peru State College. And he helped make the world a little better place for all of us.

The story you 'II hear most often from those discussing this

remarkable man is about his providing instruments for ·Students who could not afford their own and free music lessons.

This matters little in 1975. What does matter is what he has shown us.

Victor Jindra worked hard all of his adult life <he spent most of it in Peru) because he believed in the College. That is one of the many reasons Peru State is where it is today. He's gone now an_d since we don't have Mr. Jindra to carry his share, we've got to take over hisjob. This means you and I must be i:::ivolved in Peru State College. PartiCipatory democracy works only if you and I participate.

America: The Land of the Right

By Kathy Hamann

Every parent has many responsibilities, of which one of them is the obligation to insure that his child is not left-handed. For in today's society the left-handed are doomed. Some say this country is- affluent, while others say it is rotten. In reality, what America is, we are right-handed. The poor child who has the ill fortune to favor his left hand will suffer the LeftHanded Trauma for the r.est of his life.

All is geared toward the righthanded. Doorknobs and handles are on the right. Even the free, extra rubber glove is for the right hand. True, in recent years they've been manufacturing left-handed freezers, but this is tokenism.

Have you ever heard a carnival barker (or anyone else, for that matter) say, "Step left this way"? Of course not-it's always "step right this way". No one ever says you are absolutely left. And let's not forget

What it means to be a 1ett1st politically. It was the Wright "wingers" who invented the airplane. Food jars and bottles turn to the right. This.must be part of the righthanders' master plot to starve out the lefties and inherit the earth-or at least the peanut butter and jelly. Speaking of food, have you noticed that dieticians, too, sing the praises of the right foods? Eat right and you'll grow up to l;>e big and strong. Here, as everywhere else, people are likely to discriminate against LEFTOVERS. What mania would be created if all your organs were stronger on one side than the other. Or your heart is over on the right side. Then people would really say, 'He has his heart in the wrong place."

The rightness of right can also be observed in traffic. Yield the right of way. Keep to the right. And if one is faced_ with a "no right turn" sign at the wrong moment-what's left? Mass confusion, tempers and mounting horns. Ask· any judge-he's the Right Honorable.

From early childhood, we are taught to do what's socially right.

PSC students returning to dorms this fall discovered that free washers and dryers in the dorms have been replaced by coin-operated models. The price is 35 cents each for wash and dry.

Jot)n Letts, director of student housing, explained that the old washing machines were 8 to 10 years old and the cost of keeping them in running order was too great. For several years, the college has considered replacement machines, but there was not enough money for the purchase.

This summer a company proposed renting coin-operated washers to the college. The old· machines were retired and the coin-operated models installed.

Complaints and criticisms from students range from cost too much topay for a clean load of clothes" to "It is cheaper to wash your clothes at the downtown laundromat than at the dorm" or "There are fewer-machthes ·· available"' for use, causing a. traffic' jam .in some places." Students have asked, "Why can't they let the old machines wear out? Why can't they_ get the money for the replacement machines?"

Before you start pouting about how unfair the college is, think about these things:

1. Peru State is the last college in the state system to make the switch to coin-operated washers and dryers.

2. Previously mentioned was the

upkeep and maintenance of the old wheeze-bangers. It got to a point where it was not economical to repair them.

3. WithJhec;pin-operated machines, · t>,y splitting commissions with the rental company. This can possibly give the ·college -money to buy replacement machines.

Fellow PSCs, this is something that you'll have to put up with for a while. The 1 complaints stem from the fact that we have grown accustomed to enjoying the free laundry service in the dorms.

So, if you don't mind, keep chipping in those 35 cents and be satisfied with the luxuries you have left.

MIAs Miss 200th Birthday

Jan Johnson

The United States if fast approaching the 20oth year of its existence. It is a shame that not all of its citizens will be here to participate in this momentous occasion. Our country is minus nearly 1300 persons missing-in-action in Southeast

1-.. ·a-not only in Viet Nam but also in Lao:., Cambodia, and Thailand. They are not all military personnel. There are many civilians such as journalists and doctors that are MIA's.

What has been done to get them back?? Ever since the Vietnam ceasefire was signed, Congress has done very little or nothing about getting information and feedback on the 1300 MIA's. Vietnam has been such a big nightmare to them that they want to forget about it as soon as possible. They won't cooperate with organized MIA's groups when asked to.

If our elected officials care to do nothing, perhaps the common citizen such as you or I can do something. The

key word is involvement. You ask

"What can we do?" Hold rallies in your home town to inform the people of the Ml A's; plant a Freedom Tree to honor your state's MIA's; support the VIVA (Voices in Vital America) organization and thefr policy of informing the nation of this problem; write to influential people such as President Ford, your Congressman or Senators, asking them to give their full support;. and there are many other things.

For instance, in 1973 Mrs. Catherine Helwig of New York, whose son has been MIA since 1966, walked 450 miles in one month on behalf of these men and women. She was 51 at the time.

Ten thousand New York City taxis displayed a bumper sticker reading "MIA: missing or captured. Only Hanoi knows" in 1973.

If you don't care to be that dramatic, do as I do: wear a simple, silver bracelet with the name of an

MIA. Vow not to remove it until his or her whereabouts are known or the person is reported dead. I have two such bracelets-one I've worn for a year, the for· four years. Or for a few pennies a month, for a few stamps, you may be a charter member of VIVA's Committee of Correspondence. Themembers agree to write ONE letter a month to people. concerned with the issue. We need their encouragement to help end this nightmare.

All I'm asking is th'is: don't let this go on any longer. Don't let thse 1300 be as forgotten as the 389 still listed as missing from the Korean War. They did not simply vanish into thin air off the face of the earth. Nearly 200 years ago, tne founding Fathers did not lose faith in .the MIA's of the Revolution. We today can and should do no less. If you don't care, who will? Think about it.

Nevertheless, the young· boy who got the teen-age girl "into trouble" did the right thing for the female by marrying her. Two months later, the new groom left.

It appears right comes before left. Nine out of ten times the salesman in the shoe store will fit your right foot before your left. He probably believes you're putting your best foot forward.

People speak out of the right moment for certain things. Take this statement literally. Hands on a clock move from right to left. Time ticks rightly on. More proof of the right epidemic. Teens speak of certain good things as bein9 -"RIGHT ON." A waitress must be sure to write the right check for the right customer. And even when buying the size the customer is ALWAYS right. When all sides of the problem .are considered, one can come up with only one conclusion: It is more advantageous in today's world to be right-handed than left. It is still better, however, to be left-handed than underhanded.

LIVES OR RIGHTS: Helmets are an easy question for cyclists

It happened on a bright, clear afternoon.

Bob and his girl friend, Jane, were speeding down the shady street on Bob's 350cc motorcycle. The air has the smell of dry leaves as they head toward a rendezvous with their friends. The pep rally they attended is barely over and they want to be the first couple to hit the scene. Bob slowed the cycle machine as a car in front signaled for a left turn. Just as impatient as Jane is, to get to the party, Bob downshifts and start to pass the car on the right. As Bob pours on the gas, he noticed an oncoming car is turning left in

Words Typed in New Center

A new service to the faculty and staff at Peru State is the Word Processing Center (W.P.C.) located adjacent to the campus post office in the basement of the Administration Building. The centere opened on August 25.

In the W.P.C. setup, faculty clerical help was reorganized and located in one central area rather than spread throughout the Ad building. The basic concept of W.P.C. is .to specialize in typing and nontyping tasks. Therefore new habits and more education is needed by every PSC employee who works in clerical or secretarial assistance.

Supervisor of the Center is Mrs. Ardie Chapin with assistance from Mrs. Gail. Reeves and Mrs. Margaret Wendel. Two work-study students will also help by handling over-the-counter work and running the mimeo, duplicator and copier.

The next few weeks will serve as a training period for everyone involved.

front of him. Realizing a collision is immineat, Bob slammed on the brakes to stop, but it was too late SCREECH CRASH BAM CRUNCH!!!

An hour later, a police officer, filing the accident report, noticed a detail that made him think, Both Bob and Jane were flung off their cycle by the empact and landed eight feet away. Both persons received· serious injuries, but Jane survived the impact while Bob didn't. The detail he noted was that Jane was wearing a helmet and Bob wasn't.

This scene can be repeated, with variations, all across the country. Especially in those eight states that do not have a helmet safety law. They are the ones getting themselves a human carnage by allowing their cyclists to ride without a helmet.

lliinois, one of those states without a cycle helmet law, has three times as many serious and fatal head injuries as in Michigan where a helmet law exists. In the year after an Illinois helmet law was repealed, motorcycle registrations increased 11 percent and motorcycle fatalities mcreased 42 percent. Nebraska, another state. without a helmet law, had 27 motorcycle fatalities in 1974. A statistical survey showed that 12 of the victims could have been saved by wearing a helmet. Those 12 cyclists suf· fered head injuries and died as a result. A decrease in serious head injuries can also occur when the cyclists wear helmets. Enactment of helmet laws in other states has prompted a decrease in fatalities and serious injuries.

The State of Hawaii enacted its motorcycle helmet law in 1967. In the preceding years, there were 13 and 20 fatalities respectively. Motorcycle registrations surged from 7,270 to 12,016 during those two years. In 1967, the motorcycle registrations dropped to 10,558 and fatalities fell to just eight victims. The unpopularity of the helmets was evident in 1969, when there were 8,979 registrations and only five fatalities. Public acceptance of the helmets came in 1970 as there wrre 10,836 registrations and only six fatalities.

fu Wyoming, 1973 was the first ytar motorcycle helmets were required. In June, July and August of 1973, compared to June, July and August of 1972, there was a 22 percent increase in motorcycle accidents. Increased accidents are a result of more motorcycles; however, at the same time total accidents increased 22 percent, injuries were increased onJy one percent

'\nd fatalities actually decreased 50 percent. One of the reasons Wyoming adopted a helmet law was a 1971 study which showed that not a single cyclist was killed in Wyoming during 1971 while wearing a helmet.

The eight states without helmet laws were ordered by the federal government to enact helmet safety laws this year. Four of the eight states have failed to enact effective helmet laws during the past year. Illinois and California has refused to enact laws, Utah passed a weak helmet lwa, and Nebraska's helmet law is currently facing a. court test. Unless other actions are taken, those four states face the possiblity of losing their federal highway funds. For motorcyclists have to wear helmets to protect themselves from the law. Very few of them don't know it, but helmets help save lives.

A new centralized typing center, dubed the word processing center, has been set up in the administration building.

College Plants Green Under Watchful Eyes

White most of us appreciate the beauty of Peru State campus, some people may not know the man whose hard work and know-how produce and maintain the flowers, trees and shrubs we take for granted, Sham Cox. Mr. Cox, originally from Hamburg, Ia., practically grew up in .orchards and nurseries, where he gained experience and a life-long interest in growing things. · Tucked away between the Administration Building and the Science Building is the greenhouse. There Mr. Cox replenishes the plants used in decorating for stage productions, graduation ceremonies,. the president's home, the ·library, for study by botany classes, and to maintain a supply for yards and gardens on campus. The success of his work is attested to by the insistent plants seen creeping through the glass roof.

Mr. Cox says the ideal temperature for the plants, which are mostly tropical and subtropical species, is between 60 and 76 degrees, though during summer the greenhouse does become warmer than. that. Field-making paint is sprayed on the glass roof to keep the heat down and ward off the burning rays -0f the summer sun, and is washed off in winter. In winter heat is provided by steam pipes and the sun. Humidity is boosted by two ponds containing lily pads and tropical fish; the ponds are also a source of microscopic life for science labs.

Week

The plants prefer an acid soil, Cox says, which must be sterilized to prevent the development of fungus. Sterilization is done with steam, or commercially sterilized materials may be used. Mr. Cox uses a soil mixture of sand, peat moss, black dirt and vermiculite.

One fascinating specimen in the greenhouse, over 30 years old, is the cycad, a tropical plant which is a member of the pineapple family. At one time, Mr. Cox says, thete was a large cycad field in South Dakota. Petrified remains of a prehistoric forest of these plants were found, and many of them were takeri away by people before their value was realized. What remains of the petrified logs is now protected by law.

The greenhouse boasts several varieties of cactus, some of which are indigenous to Western Nebraska, palms, the more familiar rubber plant and philodendron, and even lemon and orange trees. There was some confusion over the classification of the fruit seen on one of the trees until Mr. Cox pointed out it was a plastic fruit tied on for a gag. The prolific banana tree, however;produces as many as two hundred fifty bananas in a season, there being from twelve to si_xteen bananas in a bunch (called a band). The lavender and fuchsia blossoms of the spectacular Bougainvillea are seen growing through the roof of the greenhouse, and a twenty-five year old cactus insists on pushing the glass out.

Mr. Cox, responsible for the grass, shrubbery and trees in all the yards and on the campus, estimates he has set out a thousand trees, the most recent being the flowering crab apple donated to Peru State by Inter· state Nurseries.

Hidden away between the administration building and the theater is Mr. Coxes greenhouse, where all of the plants that beautify our campus are grown and cared for until they are ready for placement around Peru State.

Band Sharpens Style

"This year we plan to have an accentuated style of marching and more accurate performance in marching," said Dr. Edris in a preview of the 1975 edition of the Marching Bobcat Band.

Dr. Edris, who came to Peru State last year from Park Hill High School near Kansas City, Mo., has a bigger and more balanced band this year. In spite of losing five members due to graduation, Dr. Edris expects the band ranks to increase from last year's 36 members to 44 for the 1975 marching season.

"We have 12-15 freshmen coming in that can help our brass section. We have more trombones, trumpes and tubas that will balance the overall sound of the band,'' said Dr. Edris.

Dr. Edris held this year's marching band clinic. the week of August 17-21. Dubbed··

"Concentration Camp" by Dr. Edris, the clinic is conentrated in learning the marching basics and the style of marching the Bobcat band will be using this year. Marching during mornings, evenings and rehearsing the music during the afternoons, the band members were busy getting themselves in shape for the season's first field perofrmance on Sept. 6.

According to Dr. Edris, the band's first season appearance will take a lot of effort as they have just four or five days to rehearse their show for the Sept. 6 home game against

Midland College.

"In keeping with American Bicentennial, we will have a show sometime this season with a bicentennial theme," said Dr. Edris.

Looking back over last year's marching season, Dr. Edris recalled the band's first field performance as the highlight of the season. Before the performance, Dr. Edris and the band members were anxious about whether the band would be well received or not.

"It was like going into an unknown area. We didn't know what was going to happen to us. When we came off the field at the end of our half-time show, the audience reaction to our performance was so gratifying that it infused pride into the band. The band members were so proud of their performance that they started more effort into their rehearsals," Dr. Edris recalled.

The biggest disappointment of last year's marching season was when the last home game performance was rained out, wasting hours of practice on what could have been the band's best half-time show of the season; however, Dr. Edris was not all that disappointed because he plans to rework the show for this season.

With more band members and better marching performance, Dr. Edris and his "Pride of Peru State" Marching Bobcat Band are looking forward to a successful 1975 marching season.

Eckert to Replace Clark

Among the many new faces at PSC is Dr. Royal Eckert, <who replaces Ed Clark) assistant professor of speech, theater and mass communication.

Dr. Eckert is from Lincoln where he taught at Nebraska University in the All-Sate program.

He has worked professionaly for 25 years in theatrical arts and crafts. He also directed the' Omaha Junior theatre since 1972.

Dr. Eckert plans three plays this year. The first is scheduled during Homecoming weekend in Ocotber.

Dr. Eckert said the first production will be for one-act plays written by E.P. Conkle who was born in Peru. The play depicts life in Peru and Auburn.

The second play will be in early December. Dr. Eckert hasn't decided which play will be used but it will be a musical in cooperation with the music department.

The third play will be April 21 and 22. Dr. Eckert said that this will be the famous Shakespearean play "A Mid Summer Night's Dream."

Try outs for the first play will be September 8 and 9. Tryouts on September 8 at the Auditorium between 3 and 5 p.m. and from 'i to 9:30 p.m. Tryouts on September 9 will be 4 to 5 p.m. and 7 to 9:30 p.m

Bobcats· Ready

The Peru State Bobcats open at home against Midland College Saturday, September 6, at 7:30 p.m.

Midland has 30 returning lettermen from their 11-0 season last year, with six starters returning on offense, five on defense.

Warrior quarterback for the offense will be either Waldo Olsen or Chuck Micek. Both are juniors.

The Midland offensive backfield is said to have fair speed.

The Warriqrs use a fortythree defense; which means that four men are down on the·

line, with three linebackers behind them.

The Warriors will use the Wishbone offense for the fourth year in a row.

Last year's game against Midland saw Peru go from a 120 lead at half-time to 33-12 defeat under Midland at the final gun.

Peru Head Coach Jerry Joy will be looking for revenge against Midland, having lost to them 31-6 last year at the Mineral Water Bowl as head coach at Friends University. He looks for a winning season for the Bobcats in '75.

Bobcats Combine Victory, Watermelon

Peru State's 28-7 scrimmage victory Friday against Highland Junior College CKansasJ, served as a warm up

for the Bobcat opener here Saturday against Midland College. The scrimmage was a con-

trolled one, which means there were no kickoffs or returns and the punts were all fair catches with no returns.

Highland had the ball first and ran three plays without gaining 10 yards, then was held on fourth down. On Peru's first play Gary Rosenbeck ran more than 60 yards for a touchdown but was called back for a clipping penalty. The. first half was scoreless with both offenses unable to put together drives.

The second half was a total turnabout with the Bobcats putting together four touchdowns. Three were in the third quarter.

Bobcats scored first in the second half on a two yard run by Gary Rosenbeck, sophomore from Guthrie Center, Iowa. Dale Patton made the extra point and Peru led 7-0. Peru struck for the second score·on a pin-point pass thrown from quarterback Duffield to runningback Jeff Lewis. Patton split the uprights for the extra point for a 14-0 lead. Highland made the scoreboard on a fifteen yard run, extra point good. Peru's lead was cut to 14-7. Rosenbeck bulled into the end zone for his second score on a 35 yard run. Patton made his third consecutive extra point and Peru's lead increased to 21-7. The fourth quarter was played by · second and third team members. This gave the coaches a chance to see the backup men in action.

Practices Ready Bobcats for Midland

Three a day practices, 100 degree temperatures, humidity and occasional homesickness failed to diminish the spirit of Peru State's football team during the opening week of practice, Coach Jerry Joy reports.

Twenty-six lettermen are the core of a 55 man squad after the sixth day of workouts. Only seven have checked in their gear since reporting for physicals August 17-the lowest percentage of loss. veteran coaches cari remember. ,

"I'm not really disappointed. in the number," Coach Joy commented, "Although depth will have to be considered a problem. We'll have to do everything possible to keep the squad healthy, particularly in key positions."

Several more men are ex· pected to report for practice when registration for fall semester opens August 25.

Taking the PSC coaching · position, July 8, Coach Joy obviously knew only what was on film and paper about the Bobcat talent he was to inherit.

His appraisal at this point"This is by far the best sized group of men I've coached. Their effort and attitude is super!;>."

Ted Rippen, Culbertson junior, was touted by Joy as "probably the best defensive end in the area."

Coach Joy is accustomed to working with talented gridders. His 1974 Friends University <Wichita, Kansas) squad went 11-0 before bowing 32-6 to Midland in the post-season Mineral Bowl.

As can be expected, the defense, working from a. basic 52, is ahead of the offense at this stage. Seven starters from the 1974 Bobcat squad, ranked 15th in NAIA total defense rating, have returned.

In addition to Rippen are: defensive tackle Jerry Weber (Arapahoe) who transferred to PSC last season after lettering two years at Fairbury; second year Bobcat linebacker Dave Young (LaPorte, Indiana), a senior who lettered two years at Montana Tech; linebackermiddle guard ·Mike Hall, Falls City junior; linebacker Steve Wolpert, Columbus sophomore; defensive back Dave Werner, Falls City junior; and defensive back Stan Taylor, Corpus Christi, Texas sophomore.

Defensive coordinator Marty Dwine adds to this list Ray Woerlen, <Brock) senior

defensive tackle; Kent Coleman <Oakland, Iowa) out for his first year of college football at defensive end; Tom Zabawa, junior and Bob Shonka, sophore, both from Columbus, at defensive back and freshman Ted Japp, Kennard, at· linebacker to his priority list.

Post graduate Skip Stauffer and senior Dan Cotton have been added to the grid coaching ranks. Stauffer, working with the defensive line, has experience as senior high assistant at Wood, South Dakota, Hayes Center, Nebraska, and Quenenmo, Kansas and coached junior high football at Wetmore and

Douglas, Kansas. He played linebacker and middle guard at Utah State in 1966-67 before' completing his degree at Kansas State Teachers College, Emporia.

His .wife, the former Becky Lynch of Auburn, is a 1970 PSC graduate.

Dan Cotton, three year 'Cat letterman at punter and linebaeker positions, is coaching offensive backs.

Bill Hosack of last year's solid defense leads the defensive secondary while veteran coach Dr. Ervin Pitts directs the offensiveJine, Dwine the defense and Coach Joy the offense.

Duffield Leads

1-'ough Squad

Corky Duffield, - freshman from Wichita Falls, Texas, and a high school All-American, will be the number one signal caller for the Peru State Bobcats. The Notre Dame High School graduate of 1974 decided to wait a year before entering college.

Other awards received by Corky were All-State Football Team 1972 and 1973. Corky stated that the offense Peru will generate this year will be a crowd pleaser. The offense is going to the wishbone which means a more balanced attack.

Quarterback for the 1975 Bobcats, Corky Duffield, a native Texan and High School All American brings a strong offensive background to the team. ·

"Title Nine" Bringg New Horizong to Women Atheleteg at Peru

by Kathy Hamann

"Down with the sewing machine!!" "Up with the drafting board! !

This has become the rallying cry of college girls seeking admittance to shop classes, football teams, vocational education programs, and other scholastic activities traditionally reserved "for boys only."

Two years ago Congress heard their cry and passed the Educational Amendments of 1972 including a section called Title IX. which prohibits sex discrimination in educational programs or activities that receive federal funds. The U.S. Department of Health. Education and· Welfare <HEW last year published a set of proposed regulations to implement TitlP IX and invited

comment. The department was deluged with more than nine thousand letters. After reading its mail, HEW revised the regulations and sent them to President Ford for his signature. His staff is now studying the proposals, which they can either accept or return to HEW for more changes. In whatever form the guidelines are finally approved, high schools, vocational schools, and public universities will have to revamp their admissions policies, course offerings and even alter the structure of students clubs.

Does this mean that a girl with good aim and a strong arm can automatically join the allmale football team? NO. HEW requires only separate but equal teams on the same competitive level <varsity, junior varsity J for males and females. It does permit both

sexes to join a single team provideditisn'ta contact sport; in that case, separate teams are not necessary. Under Title IX, schools will be required to survey annually to find out what sports they want. ·

Although perhaps forced to play with girls, a young woman should not resign herself to slaving over a hot stove in Home-Ee lab, while down the hall her male counterpart varnishes bookcases they built in Shop. Title IX definitely prohibits school officials from segregating the sexes in separate classes. In most schools, this aspect of equal educational opportunity also extends to work-study programs.

combat this new form of discrimination. According to HEW, requiring new, lessbiased texts would raise "grave questions" regarding First Amendment rights. Gaining admission to schools that allow only a certain number of females has been still another vexing problem for women. Vocationa!, public

undergraduate and graduate institutions won't be able to set quotas on how many women they'll admit. These schools, law and medical schools especially, will have to make a special effort to recruit students of both sexes-an encouraging situation for women facing the formerly sealed doors of these institutions. And doors is what Title IX is all about!!!

HEW admits that sex stereotyping in texts and curriculum material is indeed "a serious problem," its new oroposals will do little to

Thousands for Woman Athletic Scholorships This Year

The 1975-76 women's athletic scholarships have been levied at $4960.00 according to Don Miller, Peru State financial aid director. This amount is equal to ten full tuition waivers, but is subject to. variations in distribution. Mrs. Mary Jo Lainez., director of the women's athletic activities at Peru, has the option of distributing the money in accordance with the qualifications set for athletes in each field of the program.

There are scholarships ranging from $100.00 to $465.00 which can be given to woemn athletes who qualify in one or more sports. For qualifying in one sport, a woman can receive up to $232.00, which gives her an equivalent of 15 hours of tuition waivers. Also, a scholarship worth $465.00 pays for 30 hours and two semesters of tuition for the woman qualifying in two sports.

According to new legislation, female and male athletic programs must be allotted equal amounts of money or. at least amounts, approaching equality. These full tuition women's scholarships are worth the same amount as the men's full scholarships. In the near future, if possible, Peru plans to increase the funds received for women's sports on a yearly basis so that it will equal the funds received by the

Fiddle Contest Big Brownville Success • m

By Steve Chatelain

I was standing by the counter of the concession stand when I heard a little voice ask if they had candy bars. She was not speaking to the attendant but to a shirtless, bearded man. The owner of the voice was a 30 inch walking, talking doll. She was dressed in the typical little-girl attire of the weekend-sandals dirty jeans, no shirt and a smudged face. '

The man echoed her question to the birl behind the counter. But the concession had no candy bars. No candy bars, but they did have caramel apples. How much were they? 50c. The little girl's precious expression melted and she turned and trudged off.

"Wait a minute sister, come back here." The little girl stopped as the bearded man slapped two quarters down on the counter. The girl shyly returned and took the apple as it was handed to her. She reached in her pocket and pulled out a dime and a nickel, but her patron told her to keep the money.

A strange thing happened, or did not happen, I guess. Her eyes and mouth did not change. No familiar expression of joy spread over that beautiful face. It was almost as if she took for granted that all people were this kind and generous.

As that tiny girl carted off, munching her treasure, I felt very warm and content. I would have given anything, however, to have felt the sensation that the bearded man must have felt. When the girl walked away the first time I thought how benevolent it would be to buy her a caramel apple. But by the time I had run it through my computer and dutifully examined all the criteria, I was too late. Obviously the impulse had bypassed the bearded man's brain and went directly to his heart.

In essence, that is what the Brownville, Nebraska, Old Fiddler's Contest is about. Spontaneity and sincerity.

Technically, the contest is an experimental ground for hundreds of musicians throughout the country. Three days of competition allowed fiddlers, pickers, strummers and singers to showcase their bluegrass or country music talent.

The music is definitely entertaining and the musicians are talented but there is more to this annual festival. The atmosphere of this Labor Day weekend in Brownville is condu ive to a unique comraderie among the thousands who attend each year. The fever is so rampant that it is not unusual to see a 60 year old local farm couple sitting between a long haired bluegrass enthusiast from California and a barefooted couple from Virginia. And no one seems to mind.

Acres of sprouting tents and mobile campers sprawl in all directions from the outdoor amphitheater. Brownville flourishes.

The village, nearly the oldest in Nebraska, hosts, not only the fiddler's contest, but a similarly attended spring festival. Muzzle loaders and antique collectors flock in for the widely recognized flea market and muzzle loading contest.

These festivals and the other events that characterize the pride of the old town are the consequences of year-around community concentration. The results, such as thi& weekend, are gratifying.

The gratification is reciprocal. These surges in population give the village, whose commerce is mired in rpemory and completely dependent upon its historical appeal, a cosmopolitan flavor. The festival is a terrific boon to the publicity scheme by the Brownville Historical Society. In other words, the Brownville of the past, that nearly became the state capitol many years ago, lives again.

For the spectators' contribution, they receive an uninhibited retreat. To many it was a brief respite from their careers. To others of the basically teenage and 20's crowd, it was summer's last gasp before fall's regime at the universities and colleges.

The festival was a bonanza to the genuine bluegrass enthusiast. Footstomping, handclapping jam sessions could be found throughout the makeshift suburbia at all hours.

Utopian? Hardly, with the crowds, hot weather and primitive living conditions, but very possibly the closest thing to bliss and serenity any of the people who contributed to this event will experience until the next Labor Day weekend.

Apple Jack This Weekend In Nebraska City

A forthcoming attraction for festival-goers is the Applejack Festival to be held this Saturday in Nebraska City. Formerly a celebration of the local apple harvest, Applejack is a lor:gestablished tradition that traces its back to the 1950's when it was Bowl.

Interest in six-man football began to die out, however. More and more people were becoming involved in the eleven-man game. So Peru and Tarkio were scheduled to accommodate this interest.

Leonard Hoskins of the Nebraska News-Press said that the season game was because the Nebraska field was a neutral territory for both teams. Proceeds from the game are

divided between both schools.

The Nebraska City News-Press has been the sponsor of the festival since its beginning. Editor Ivan Beaumont said that the annual festival died out around 1954-but was revived in 1969 when it was re-named that was started.

this vear. There are three divisions for the bands; 250-members and under, 250-members and rwer and, new this year, a junior high division. A first-place trophy will be presented to each division following the parade. school chiidren start the firerncn, 2.

This is what made Brownville a real success this fall. All over the park, at all hours, you could find groups of pickers and singers like these getting together over a cold beer and good music.

Two new members of PSC's faculty this fall are unique. These men bring welcome talent and energy to Peru State.

Paul Fell and Jerry Joy are Peru Grads who have returned, a tribute to the college. With Paul's artistic and Jerry's football talents there is little doubt that these men could have found higher paying jobs elsewhere. But they chose to return to Peru. Why? They returned because they believe in Peru State College. They believe that with hard

work and interest they can help build. These men can do a lot, but they can't build Rome by themselves and it won't be done in a day either.

Today, student organizations are setting up booths in the student center. If you have suggestions about anything on this campus or are please with something and want to see it continue, now's your chance to join a c-ampus organization, put up - or shut up.

Kosch Komment

By Larry Kosch

A funny thing happened at the pep rally last week. The cheerleaders challenged the football players to a "We got spirit" shouting contest and it went something like this.

"We got spirit, yes we do, we got spirit, how 'bout you!!!", the leaders shouted.

Silence.

"We got spirit, yes we do, we got spirit, how 'bout you!!!" the cheerleaders screamed. Silence.

It was a humorous incident bec;ause the crowd was expecting the football players to yell back, but they didn't. And the unexpected response had the crowd laughing af the cheerleaders, making them feel pretty foolish.

It wasn't funny to me at all. Of course, I laughed at the unexpected response; but after some serious thought, it wasn't really funny at all.

To me, Peru State is still in the grasp of a malady that took effect several years ago. It is NEGATIVE THINK.ING.

It is this kind of thinking that can prevent you from ever reaching your potential. If you think you are dumb, you are dumb. If you thi.nk you are a ten-time loser, you are a ten-time loser.

It is this kind of that led our football team to a 4-6 season last year. It is this kind of thinking that led our basketball team to a nearly perfect losing season. It is this kind of thinking that kept th.e baseball team from having a winning season and the conference championship. This negative thinking not only affects sports but it affects other fields as well. If you think you will · flunk a class, you wrn flunk a class.

If you think your girlfriend or boyfrier.:I doesn't really care about you, he or she doesn't care aoout you. You may even think yourself out of existence

At one time, this negative thinking

almost caused the demise of Peru State College. Fortunately, the students and citizens of Peru woke up and saved the college from extinction.

It's time that the stt,Jdents of PSC stop tf!inking ·negatively and start -.,hinking positively. You are smart.

You are a ten-time winner. You will get a "9" in class, And your friends do care about you.

All of this talk of Peru State football team going 7-3 or 8-2 this year. To me, that is hogwash. With proper thinking, this team can, will and should go 10-0 this year. '"the same should happen with the basketball team. They should be able to play .500 roundball this year with proper thinking.

I want to issue a challenge to the members of the football team and the basketball team to prove to me that they don't think negattvely this year,.

If you guys are successful in pr9ving it, I'll literally eat my words. I promise!!!

Apple Jack

continued from Page 1 consists of three grade school children to a team, two fire hoses with plenty of pressure, and a barrel. Each team tries to push the barrel over the opposing team's goal line by directing the water from the hoses on the barrels. A warning to prospective spectators the hoses have been known to get loose. So itis impossible for either players or spectators to stay dry! Next, the 2:00 p.m. parade. which includes the numerous floats, children's entries and the' marching band competition. The Peru vs. Tarkio football 'game will end the day's activities at 7:30 p.m. Beaumont said that the Applejack is a very big day for Nebraska City. He said new additions were being made each year and he hopes that some day the Applejack Festival will be a threeday event.

"Nibble, nibble like a mouse, who's that nibbling at my house?"

An old woman appeared at the door and said," Ah, my children, you mus! come inside and stay with me."

Thus temptation led to the capture of two helpless children, Hansel and Gretel, by a wicked hag, intent on satisfying her hunger for human flesh. Their subsequent escape is of course well-known, as is the expert fashion in which they. maneuvered the villian into a position of vulnerability. But after their victory, what then?

As the story goes, Hansel and Gretel stood huddled together, dazed, staring at the gingerb ead house. Gretel ·chewed thoughtfully on a gumdrop.

"Hansel, we really ought to return home," she said. Hansel said and broke off chocolate. He could distinctly taste mint.

At last they took each other's hands and set off through the dark, forbidding forest. Suddenly Gretel stumbled in a ,pool of stagnant water.

"I don't remember this," she cried. "Nor do I," replied Hansel as he picked his way through the trash that littered their path.

Th honking of cars and a black, smoke-filled sky greeted them as they emerged from the woods and wonderingly beheld the sprawling metropolis that had replaced their quaint, little village.

After recovering from the initial shock, Hansel found a job with an insurance company, and Gretel set up house in a spilt-level home they couldn't afford in the suburbs. The years passed. Hansel became fat with beer-drinking, ·and Gretel's hair, once golden-yellow, turned brassy-red from .too much peroxide.

One smoggy day, brother and sister were filled with a sudden yearning to return to the' sweetness of their youth. Making. full speed into the dark, forbidding forest; they combed the woods from corner to corner for their .long-lost cottage. Upon glimpsing the gingerbread house in all its candyoated they dashed forward impatiently, eagerly anticipating the joys of long-remembered ambrosia. But as they sampled sweetmeat after sweetmeat, all Hansel could tase was beer and try as she might, Gretel could taste only Sara Lee coffee cake.

Book Store Hours

By Janie Montang

The new routine began in the bOokstore this fall seems to work fairly smooth, but does have its drawbacks. The employees can probably distribute books faster than the old method of each student hunting for and selecting his own books. Although some errors in book selection occurred, they were no doubt less than individual students might cause. This system does, however; cayse a line to form, This line gr9ws steadily and 'creates a backup.

During the first three days of classes the store remained open from 8 a.m. to 4:40 p.m. which was convenient and helpful to students.

The regular hours, 9 a;m. to 12.:30 p.m., began last Tuesday. This schedule is too short a time interval, because there are students who have classes during these hours and have, absolutely no opportunity to visit the bookstore. This is especially true for some commuter students who arrange their classes in ,close sequence in order to minimize the time they must spend on campus. Wednesdays during convocation time the bookstore remains open, but last week there was such a backup that even then many students could n9t get in.

The probable solution to this dilemma is a revamping of the bookstore's hours. If the proprietors are now operating the store for the maximum number of hours desired, then it is at least sensible for them to

alternate the time between mornings and afternoons. Perhaps they could be open Monday and Tuesday afternoons from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and follow ttieir previously arranged schedule Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Or they could remain open in both the morning and afternoon one day and closed completely one day later in the week. Either of these •schedules would· .offer .more, PSC students and faculty· a chance to ·shop th.e. bq0k#ore, 1or necessary purchases ·

The first meeting of the Student Governing Association cametoorderat5:15 p.m. in the west dining room of the Peru State College cafeteria. First item of business was looking over the from last meeting held of the 1974-75 school year.

Discussion was held on Mr. Terry Pardeck being the new SGA sponsor. It was decided that Mr. Pardeck come to the next meeting. Next item of business concerned the tours given by several SGA members for freshman orientation.

Penny Baker, Amy Walsh, and Scott McKercher gave brief run-downs on how their tours turned out. Dale Turek, a freshman who sat in on this SGA meeting, suggested some new means of improving the tours and ways for the freshmen to become acquainted with the college teachers. President Gottula's next item of business was freshman elections, and she asked for volunteers for organizing the elections.

Liz Deason and Amy Walsh

were nominated as secretary and treasurer of SGA respectively. Mike Davis a motion to this effect, seconded by Barb Lohmeier, plus Tom as corresponding secretary. They were approved by all present.

Amy Walsh resigned as senator at large and is now a representative of SGA according to an admendment from last year concerning past presidents. This still leaves two openings. Jim Kirkendall is not Peru State College this fall, so Jim Bartels was suggested as a possibility. He was voted upon, and is now an SGA senator at large. The motion was made by Amy Walsh.

President Gottula next discussed the various committee assignments to be made. $71.40 already spent from our $800 budget, for the year, has been found a mistake. The :imount is $57 in em-or.

Dr. Pearson and the vice have requested a rap session once a month with the SGA during SGA time. Amy Walsh made a motion that monthly rap sessions be held and it was seconded by Kevin Sauberzweig. A hand vote was

held-4 voted YES, 10 voted NO. Again discussion was held on when to hold rap sessions since there was a disagreement. Amy Walsh made a motion to have rap sessions once a semester, seconded by Dianne Rees. Amy also commented that having them around teacher evaluation time would be a good idea. Scott McKercher amended Amy's motion to have the sessions when SGA feels necessary. It was seconded by Amy Walsh. All voted YES.

Mr. Pardeck did attend the meeting and said several things on his feelings about SGA. He felt it necessary to have rap sessions with the President and Vice President.

Allie Stoltenberg suggested that Pearson, Stewart and C. Barrett attend the meetings alternately. Phil Rogge felt that this idea has its disaqvantages, because some people might not speak up and say what is on their minds.

Scott ·McKercher asked if anyone would be interested in helping on the Constitution Committee. Everyone was told to think about it.

The meeting was adjourned at 6:.15 p.m. by a motion made by Penny Baker and seconded by Pat Kinnison.

Python's Flying Circus

A new and different type of public television series premieres on the Nebraska ETV Network, Saturday, Sept. 13, at 9:30 p.m. It's called "Monty Python's Flying Circus"-but has no Monty Python, it doesn't fly, and it isn't a circus.

The series, which has been makmg a hit wherever it has been seen on public television stations throughout the United States, defies description.

"Montr Python's Flying Circus" is a zany comedy show which combines a random series of skits, blackouts, sight gags, bizarre · animated sequences, and all at a breakneck speed. Produced by the

British Broadcasting Corporation <BBC), some of it is certain to be lost on the American audience-the humor is very British and at times outrageous.

According to a New York City public television station spo_kesl!lan the popularity of the series m New York City was "totally unexpected because it is a highly stylized program dealing in humor that is typically British undergraduate."

Critics and reviewers have called the series " comic.

Trustee Plan

Raises Salaries Relief Fro111 Su111111er

A program geared to hiking the salaries of the lower paid - professional staff members the most and providing for merit increases to "reward exemplary performance" was adopted last week by the Board of Trustees of Nebraska State Colleges at a meeting in Lincoln.

The action was taken as the board approved the budget for the four state colleges at Chadron, Kearney, Peru and Wayne. The new budget request, which must be in the hands of the governor by Sept. 15, totals approximately $23 million and is up 9.8 percent from this year's figure.

The pay plan would increase the salaries of professional staff members an average of 6.6 percent, not including the merit program. The basic plan calls for an increase of $667 per person plus two percent of the present salary.

This phase of the salary plan would cost about $575,000 for the four schools and provide increases ranging from 4.1to9.4 percent, depending on present salary levels.

In addition, a half percent of the four colleges' total payroll, or approximately $42,000, would be set aside for salary adjus tm en ts to take care of promotions and new degrees that may have been earned.

The merit plan would cost about $150,000, if adopted. Ideally, it would provide a $500 bonus for half of the state colleges' professional personnel. The board established a minimum figure of $400, for certain individuals who have been evaluated as performing meritorious service.

Board president William C9lwell of Chadron said the -merit plan was ·adopted to upgrade the quality of the faculty and to reward performance of outstanding staff members. He said the plan is for one year only, and that the bonus would not be used to figure any percentage of increase in salaries that might be forthcoming the following year.

"Our base pay is low and the state colleges need a procedure to reward the excellent work performed by our professors," Dr. Colwell added.

Dr. Colwell said the thought behind the basic pay plan is to restore the buying power for the essentials of the state college employees that has been lost because of inflation. He said the $667 figure was arrived at by using the $540 amount that the department of labor says is the level of qualifi(,!ation for federal assistance, and applying a cost of living factor as of March 31, 1975.

'Last year, all state employees i:.eceived a pay increase of five percent plus $467.

In addition to salaries, the board approved a 10.3 percent increase amounting to about $225,000, for non-personal · 5ervices, excluding utilities and · the cost of renting automobiles from the state's new Transportation Services Bureau.

A breakdown of this phase of the budget shows a request of 9.2 increase for operating ex-

penses, 13.5 for supplies and materials and 3.3 for travel.

The board will seek a 19.9 percent hike in funds to pay its utility bills. Wayne State said it certain that its utility bill will be that much higher next year.

New and expanded programs amounting to $360,000 were by the trustess. They mclude $94,000 for the nursing program and $37 ,500 for ciminal justice at Kearney, $50,000 for equipment, $22,500 for continuing education for the health professions and· $15,000 for campus security at Chadron, $75,000 for equipment at Wayne and $50,00 for equipment and $19,000 for a black and minority counselor at Peru.

The capital construction phase of the new bu_dget is $943,000. It includes $475,000 for remodeling and renovating the Administration Building at '::hadron, $60,000 for an all.veather track, $40,000 for a greenhouse and $35,000 to renovate the education and humanities building at Wayne, $250,000.for the second phase of the health and physical education building at Peru and $60,000 for recreational facilities and $20,000 for facilities planning at Kearney.

If you are sick of summer's heat, looking forward to cooler temperatures, warm clothes, or curling up in front of a roaring fire on a cold day, perhaps this recollection of an ice storm and a power failure might make these days of soaring heat seem more bearable. '

Night one: power goo's off at l0:30. We pile blankets on the beds and try to go to sleep before the cold sets in-to the sound of splitting and crashing trees already succumbing to the weight of freezing rain. Next morning, slipping out of the warm envelope of bed into a house already thrity degrees inside, we peer out into the deadly beauty.

How unreal it is not to have a source of heat in twenty-degree weather; to wonder if you will run out of food, and if you do, whether the grocery store will also run out; nof to be able to find or buy candles, lanterns, blankets, batteries, transistor radios; not to have running water, a toilet that works, electricty and all the conveniences that go with it, and all that we take for granted.

Bobcat- Opener Ends in 53-26

Defeat from Midland, at. PSC

Peru State College went down in defeat to the tune of 53-26 at the hands of Midland College.

Losing .Strea'k, Next

Tarkio College will try to break a three year losing streak against Peru State Saturday night at the Applejack Bowl in a long-time rivalry.

Tarkio has 22 returning lettermen this year. The offensive attack will be led by either Bob Lade, Bruce Zoinowski, both · juniors, or Kirk Hamrah, a freshman. Bob Lade started the last three games of last season because of an injury to the regular starting quarterback.

The offensive unit will run out own 20 yard line. Midland got the ball on Peru's 44-yard line. The drive wasn't long because of a 35-yard run by Dexter Brown which put the ball on the 13-yard line. Two running plays later Midland scored and took the lead. The extra point was good. Peru 13. Midland 16.

The next play was nothing sh.ort of great. Stan Taylor received the kickoff from Midland and set sail on a 98yard run for a touchdown. Extra point failed. Peru 19. Midland 16. /

Midland came right back to score, after marching 67 yards in six plays. The extra point was good. Peru 19. Midland 23.

The defense will use a fortythree type set-up, commonly used in small college football. This defensive pattern makes the run up the 1middle almost impossible.

Coaches Corner

Football and the support the team receives has been my main topic for the last two issues and will continue to be until I feel they are receiving the support they need.

For the past three years Peru has. defeated Tarkio to bring "their" trophy home to Peru permanently.

This year a new trophy is up for grabs and the Bobcats would like to make this one Peru's too. Bringing home the new trophy will depend totally on how well Peru State plays. A fine way to make sure the Bobcats bring home "their" trophy is to give them the support they need, so why not load up a car and go to Nebraska City September 12 for a full day of fun. Watch the parade, attend the ' dance, but especially attend the game and help the Bobcats win "their" trophy again.

Looking for Peru's fourth straight Applejack Bowl victory over the Tarkio Owls, Head Coach Jerry Joy discusses some aspects of this weekend's game. "Tarkio ·College seems to really psych themselves up for the Peru game because of the closeness of the schools and the ' long time rivalry. The team appears to have good depth in most positions with 22 returning lettermen," he said.

"Tarkio's strongest part of the offensive attack is in their running game. We hope that our defense will shut that off and force them into passing which is weak. Their defense is the stacked 4-3," he said.

Coach .Joy stated that no changes in the lineup had been planned at this time. The offensive attack for the Tarkio game is to be like last week's game, running the ball at least 65 of the time.

Q. How is this year's defense different from last year's.

A. Last year we ra.a what is called a split-six line where we had six men on the line, two tackles, two ends and two linebackers, with no middle guard. This year we've gone to a basic college 52 defense. This is a monster defense where you have a man in the center, two tackles and upright defensive ends. Last year we used a Peru State defense and we didn't do bad-we were rated 15th in the nation in total defense in the NAIA College division.

But Ray Williams will fill in for him so that's not a problem. This defense gives us more coverage on the line for the run while last year's gave us more of a pass coverage.

By Kathy Hamann

By the time girls graduate from high school, many are satisfactory cooks, others are not. And like the group _that had 31 percent more cavities, I was not among the chefs. For me, not being able to prepare food was a pattern that developed in early childhood. My clay cookies were stale and I had the only undernourished doll on the block. But one day I gathered courage and fixed dinner for friends.

I figured if I did everything according to the recipe, I couldn't go wrong. I started with the appetizer. Tomato juice was too simple so I served a fruit cup. The instructions said, "For the prettiest jesults, cut in quarters.'' This sounded bizarre. But an expert wrote the book and he knew best. <He weighs 270 pounds; someone's - cooking must be good.) I grabbed a handful of quarters from my purse and mixed them in the fruit cup. The result was rich.

Next I worked on the salad. The radish roses had thorns and my carrot curls needed a permanent. Discouraged, I nervously ate the rest of the vegetables.

The party was informal so I selected a low-key main -dishstew. The first step was to parboil the potatoes. I didn't know that par meant partially; I thought it was a golf term. I drove the potatoes into the pot trying to make my holes-in-one using my rubber spatula as a club. Then, looking at the kitchen mess, I did exactly as the book directed-I stewed for four hours.

Since it was too late to start over, I ran my fingers through the yellow pages till they found a delivery service.

I confidently greeted my guests with "Anyone hungry?" "No," answered one guest, "we had a late lunch."

Was I ever burned. Delivery service or not, I always end up burned whenever I'm near the kitchen.

President says state policy is to hlallle for gyln delay

PSC

By Angie Stalder

President Douglas

Pearson has indicated that state policy toward construction on college campuses is one of the major contributing factors to the temporary cancellation of money for a new gym at Peru.

"There are three phases to construction on any campus," Dr. Pearson stated. Phase one of this process is financed through state appropriations and determines the need for particular proposals. Phase one was begun two years ago and we are now applying for phasetwo funding.

Dr. Pearson said Peru is requesting "additional money for architectural plans in phase two," and indicated that this would cost around $250,000. Phase two will carry the project through the planning stages and to the construction site. "Once they've committed themselves to phase two fundings, we've got a lot better chance of getting our gym," he said.

"For the second year running the Board of Trustees has again approved our request to and ask for phase two money," Dr. Pearson said.

"Last year we were number one as far as buildings were concerned, but we were number three on priority. Number one was money to keep the campus in condition," he said.

Dr. Pearson indicated that the second priority was for repair, while the health and physical education complex was third.

"We got bogged down at the state level," Dr. Pearson said refering to allocation of phasetwo funds. He also indicated that Peru was "again trying to get that money," from the state legislature.

Dr. Pearson went on to say that we are facing a decision · point now. "If they're going to shut this thing off, this is where they're going to do it. They're not going to give us a quarter of · a million dollars to draw up architectural plans and then decide to call it quits."

State legislation last year gave Peru $50,000 for remodeling and renovation purposes, while other state colleges received $75,000 to $100,000.

"I didn't feel that we were taken advantage of. We made good use of the money we had · and we were able to get rid of a lot of nagging problems that we had throughout the campus," Dr. Pearson said. Priorities were set by state · guide lines. First priority was that of fire and safety. Included in this are the bleachers in the

gym and the press box on the football field. Both need repair or replacement.

"I would hope that we can continue to receive this money," Dr. Pearson siad.

Peru recently established a "word processing" center. Dr. Pearson said this was because of the large number of faculty and small number of secretaries. Each year more is required of these secretaries, more demands are placed on them. Each professor needs correspondence typed, and some need class papers and syllabus typed. And then there are still phones to answer and people to deal with. "We could see a collision course coming down the road someplace where we just weren't able to meet the demands both externally and internally," he said. Something had to be done, "either add more people or make the people we have more efficient," Dr. Pearson said.

The IBM Company came in and evaluated the work load of the secretarial staff.

"We then took the information they had developed, examined it, decided whether it was valid or not and whether their recommendations were reasonable. We made minor changes in their recommendations and decided to proceed," Dr. Pearson said.

The change occurred just as school was to begin. "We picked the absolute worst time to implement the word processing center," he said. "Many problems have arisen but that is to be expected in a large organization.

Dr. Pearson added, "You can't improve the future without disrupting the present."

Walsh to Washington next week

By

Ms. Amy Walsh, P.S.C. junior from Chicago and member of the Natonal Youth Committee for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, will leave for New York on Sept. 24 for the first annual National Youth Conclave on M.D.

It will be a national organizational meeting involving several hundred persons. Tentative conclave plans include four works.hops, preparations for future marathons, fund raising and establishing patient care services.

Of the latter, Ms. Walsh said,

"M.D. has the only 'no means' patient care service. This means that care is given regardless of the family's income."

Amy's work with Muscular Dystrophy began in November 1974 when she received a letter from Tom Barsante, Program Director ·for WOW Radio, asking if SGA would sponsor a dance marathon in Peru.

From there, meetings with Barsante and Ken Kontor, Omaha area sponsor for M.D., led to the first such dance in Peru. The 30-hour event lasted from 6 p.m. March 20 to midnight March 21.

Soon after that, she received her letter of appointment to the National Youth Committee. She is now co-representative of

Region 10, largest in the U.S, comprising 13 states.

In July she attended a .conference of the National Regional Chairmen in New York. This group is in charge of the Conclave, inform district leaders how to spread the word about M.D. and tell the "little people" where their money is going.

A grant of $8.6 million was awarded to MDA in July. Of this, 90 percent will go to research and the remaining 10 percent will be used for operating expenses.

Ms. Walsh stated that in Nashville, researchers are on their way to a "remission cure" for one of the three types of M.D. Itis currently tested on chickens with a fair amount

of success. Dystrophy patients may volunteer for treatment if they wish.

Later this semester, Ms. Walsh will be cochairman of a regional conference in Denver, regional headquarters. Similar to the conference in New York, this group's goal is to streamline the way information is sent out in order to create a lasting effect on the people. After the Denver meeting, several small events such as workshops, marathons and a week-long summer camp for M.D. patients will lead to the National conference next summer.

When asked if Peru State will host another marathon this year, Amy said, "Definitely. We raised $4,788.04 last year and I vow that Peru will raise $10,000

or more and go to Las Vegas for the national telethon."

Last year's marathon was composed of several committees-Foods, headed by Ruth Gottula; Registration and Fund Raising, headed by John Robertson and Craig Dallegee; Entertainment, headed by Pat Kinnison and Penny Baker; and Security, headed by Charlie Jackson-and a staff of 30-35. There were several live bands and records for the music. Circle K had a concession stand and donated all proceeds to M.D. An extra-added at_traction was a carnival that drew the townspeople well as PSC students. Amy said, "Everything we had was donated. If not for this, our marathon wouldn't have gotten off the ground."

I went out to fire up my grill last week, only to find it missing. A friend of mine came out of his house the other morning to find his bike's gas tank full of beer and dirt.

Another friend found his bumper crunched one morning.

I mentioned the missing grill to two of my friends. One commented, "I told you not to leave it out." The other said, "That's why I don't want to live on campus!" ·

Our college is a community by several sociological definitions, and this pefty vandalism and theft is costing our community money.

For example, last year, several benches out on the Centennial Complex mall were broken off their cement mountings. If they are to be it will have to be With money that could otherwise be given to any of the college departments and used in a way that would benefit

all of us.

The people who are directly hurt by such wanton acts of destruction and theft, such as my motorcycle friend, will go unheeded because people don't care about the problems of others.

Be that as it may, this destruction does effect all of us personally when i.t is directed at college property. It costs us money and services.

The next ti me you ask "why?" and you're told, "because that's all the money we have," thjnk about what you may have ignored before you complain about what we don't have.

This all should be of special interest to you freshmen, because you're the ones who will have to live with the results, good or bad, four whole years.

The money saved in that length of time could do a lot by 1979.

Kosch Komment

By Larry Kosch

The residents of Delzell Hall are feeling a sense of isolation as they t:iave been putting up with an inadequate paging system during the past few weeks. With one speaker missing from second, third and ground floor, Delzell are missing telephone .connections and keeping visitors waiting for what seems like forever. The one speaker located in the north wing of second, third and ground floor is so; far away from the residents living in the south wing that the pager has trouble communicating with them.

According to Jeff Kline, hall director for Delzell, the maintenance personnel were in the office last week.to check tl"'.e paging cir-

cuitry. And a request for additional speakers was put in. So far, it seems to be that the maintenance department has been slow in getting the speakers fixed or having new speakers ordered. ·

I strongly urge that the maintenace department get on the ball and get the paging system in tip-top shape. If there is no immediate response by the - maintenance department, the residents of Delzell Hall will have to bring administrative pressure to the fore for any action to happen.

Until the speakers are fixed, the residents of Delzell will have to live in near-isolation from the rest of the world;

Another new TV season

By Janie Montang

The new television season began this week and as usual, practically every returning show has been switched toa new day and time spot. The networks do this intentionally so viewers who tune in just in time to catch their favorite program wtll instead view an alternative.

This way the shows gain a larger audience (at least for the first few weeks until the viewers latch on to the new schedule) and the Nielsen Ratings go up.

Each year millions of TV viewers wait in wild or mild anticipation (dependinQ on the degree of TV mania possessed) tor the disrobing of the novice series. In-recent years, science fiction "spookers" have · been extremely popular. Some of these, such as "The Night Stalker" .from a season ago, o_ccupy the_ early time slots, s.caring the daylights out of young children and a few cowardly adults, as well.

The networks have passed by (probably temporarily) the stage of cowl:>oys and Indians and rotated to cops and robbers. Although many of these are quite entertaining, they are bound to provide law offenders with fresh ideas. But if our law enforcement agencies observe the same shows they too will be ready for the law breaking innovations. (Surely all these stories do not come from police files.)

Take of Peru's atmosphere

By Janie Montang

One of the emphasized features for attending a small college is the opportunity to get to know many students.

On the Peru campus the dorm residents are acquainted with a much larger porportion of the students, than are the commuter students. This seems natural. But most of the upper division classes have a relatively small enrollment and the instructor could easily suggest methods for exposing all the students' names. It seems rather sad to sit in a classroom for an entire semester and still not even be aware

of other students names when it ends.

Many graduate level courses place emphasis on inter-student activities and stress the importance of learning each others' names. The more people associate, the greater probability for fresh ideas and diversified viewpoints. If this is a good innovation for graduate students, it certainly seems appropriate for under-graduates as well.

It seems practical on a campus of this size for the majority of the students to know their classmates.

The friendly attitude conveyed by PSC students is gratifying and is

evidenced daily, just walking across campus.

Faculty members also appear congenial to students but fail to encourage inter-Identity among clai°s members. Most of the teachers call students by name, but even this does not provide an identity that will be remembered by other studentsat least not until near semester's completion.

Most students welcome the opportunity to meet and greet their fellow classmates, so Peru can '"enhance its reputation as a school where people relate to one another in a friendly atmosphere, on a firstname basis.

began with "All in the· Family," are still building volume also. These shows discuss suc;h heretofore untouched (on television) s_ubjects as abortion, impotency,. "change of life," racial issues, bigotry, and promiscuity. Many parents fret over their children viewing such pro.grams, but many of them see these as realities of life. The humorous angle they are examined from allows people to laugh at themselves and their common problems and indignities.

Television currently pokes humor at people in all types of situations. The rich, the poor, the middle class, the Jew, the Gentile, the professional, the factory worker, the city dweller and the country bumpkin. Practically every classification people fit into can be observed by looking through the "tube." Oh, yes-then there are the sports programs. Television now covers game after game in sport after sport for the benefit of the sports enthusiasts who glue their eyes to the set for these sporting ( spectaculars.

Television fanatics delight in these early weeks of September as their schedules revolve around the "New Season" and the bleary-eyed enthusiasts examine the emerging stars in their budding series.

25% rent increase hut

repairs still needed

By Anita Cole

There isn't anything that brings out the little defects of home sweet home like a rent increase. Oak Hill just got zapped with a 25 percent whopper, most of which will go to cover increases in staff salaries and fuel costs.

Meanwhile back at the homestead there are things that really should be taken care oflike the brick wall the garbage truck hit. The kids love to climb it and jump off the top, but at five years old making like batman- breaks lots of little arms and legs. Several apartments are badly in need of repair.

Part of the charm of Oak Hill housing is its outlying location.

Unfortunately this contributes to a serious lack of communication. No one who moves in is really aware of what is available to residents. No one knows who to see or when to see them when something has to be

done.

Several apartments nee9 painting, some need their floors refinished. None of the residents knew why it wasn't being done. Mr. George Wendel, head of maintenance said that this kind of work is usually done each summer by Rex Allgood. This summer Mr. Allgood was gone six weeks on vacation and National Guard duty. That didn't leave much of the summer for all the things that had to be done before the fall term began.

Mr. Wendel said, "We will do all we can to help you folks. We're just sorry we couldn't get it done sooner." The only thing that had help uj)"' the paint brushes was the thought that residents wouldn't like them doing the work while the apartments were being lived in, he said.

John Letts, student housing director, explained where the money comes from for more expensive long"term improvements. "No student housing

gets money from the state or federal government. Student housing must be more or less self supporting. All the revenue from the dorms, Oak Hill, Centennial Complex faculty apartments and the student center goes into a general fund, called the revenue bond fund, from which all the money for improvements must come. This money is allocated partly by priority and partly by popular demand."

it is no secret that the trend in college students is toward the adult returning to the campus to be trained for a specific career or to gain knowledge and skills needed to advance him in the one he is pursuing. Many of the adult students who will be returning to college will have families that include small children. Oak Hill for many reasons offers the most suitable housing in Peru for those adult students who have families. As such, it seems to be a very fine investment for the future of Peru State

pain of his wounds.

Finally realizing they were followed, Ed is sent up a steep cliff to settle the problem. Here the third murder occurs. Ed finds a man with a shotgun surveying the river for any canoes. He has to shoot the man

with an arrow, though he is against killing anything. In the process, he wounds himself.

Using the corpse as a weight, he starts his trip down the cliff, the rope breaks causing him .to slide down the rest of the way.

The movie ended with Drew's body being found, and his friends weighting it down to make it sink deep into the river.

The rest finally return to civilization and Lewis finds out he may lose his leg.

A second story has to be made up wheri. the authorities find a wrecked canoe farther upstream than they claimed. Their "deliverance" from murder occurs when Lewis says, "I don't remember a thing after I busted my damned leg."

All in all, the movie was wellacted with the best performance being that of Jon Voight. He gave the part of Ed the sensitivity it deserved, that of a quiet hero, unlike the loudmouthed braggart, Lewis. He hated the injustices done to his friends, but never let it show.

'Picture Old Peru' in one acts

Peru State College will perform an evening of one act plays entitled "Picture Old Peru," to be directed by Dr. Royal Eckert.

The plays are set in 1920's and 30's in Peru and surrounding farmlands. Act one is titled i "Minnie Field," a serious play about a wake with an all-male cast. The play is reputed to be ·one of the best of its kind.

The second act is a comedy called "No More Wars but the Moon." The play is a comedy about a ladies sewing circle.

The third act is a comedy titled "Madge." It's about a horse named Madge, and revolves· around her owner's dream about Madge's colt becoming a race horse. -

Chaffee is in his seventh year at Wesleyan. He graduated from Colorado State in 1950 and served 17 years coaching high school before coming to Wesleyan.

"Our kids are working real hard," Chaffee said. "We have 24 lettermen returning with

eight starters on offense."

"Our overall depth will help as the season progresses. We young in a few positions, with only five starters returning on defense."

Chaffee has reason to be pleased with his team's early play. They won their opener 1510 over Colorado College.

"Our goals this year are to improve each game, " Chaffee said. "We were pleased with our win, and how our freshmen played. The attitude of the team is good. We could have a good year.''

Bobcats Take Fourth Bowl

Peru State Bobcats barely won their fourth straight Apple Jack Bowl Saturday over Tarkio College, 13-7. The game was error prone, with both teams making numerous mistakes.

Field preparation takes many. hours

The work involved in preparing the Peru State football field for even one football game is phenomenal, but usually goes unnoticed.

As many as 88 man-hours are put in by the college maintenance crew before each football game. This crew, headed by George Wendel, includes eight men: Sam Cox (head of the ground crew), Fred Gfeller, Otto Giesecke. Harold Patterson (painting of buildings), Bill Reeves, Tom Westlake, GaryI Whitehead and Marion Russell.

Among the many duties performed by these men is the · mowing of the field at least once a week. The grass is mowed to a level of three to four inches, and an attachment on the mower picks up the loose grass. The field is watered at least twice a week, all night long.

The seats are cleaned each Friday before a game. The field is also lined before each game by a new power paint machine that uses 14 gallons of paint

All new light bulbs were to be installed Sept. 13. These new bulbs will cost over $400 and another $100 will be- needed to have the bulbs installed, according to Superintendent Wendel.

Wendel said, "We have taken one old ticket booth and placed it above the stadium, making it into· a broadcasting booth for two radio stations."

The well-manicured look of the Bobcat field has not come about merely because of the pre-game work done on it. A major reason is that work on the field began seven years ago. Since then, work has been done on the field every summer, with improvement showing every year.

The center of the field is reseeded and fertilized every fall, and is fertilized again in the spring and summer. Many thousands of gallons of water have been sprayed onto the field throughout those seven years. Another reason for the improvement is that the field is sprayed and treated for weeds and bugs every year.

The work on the field was summed up by Superintendent Wendel as "combined effort of the maintenance crew."

Kenny Brown is the final member of the offensive line. His 4.5 speed in the 40 establishes hiqi as a receiver defenses must handle with caution. However, the season ; thus far, has not yielded a great deal of pass catching opportunities to the sophomore from Glen Willow Higi1 School in San Jose, Calif. He is optimistic though, and feels as the season progresses, that the offense will become more versatile. Although he · has not decided upon a major his emphasis of study at PSC is in the Sociology area.

A successful girl's volleyball season is predicted by Mrs. David Lainez, who is in charge of the women's physical education program at PSC. We have more talent and enthusiasm than we've had in the two years I've been here," Mrs. Lainez said. "We have returning to the team Deb Scholl in her third year, Linda Uher in her third year, and Nancy Sepp in her second year. In addition, we have a substantial crop of prospective players who should be an asset to the team this year and particularly in the years ahead."

Mrs. Lainez, who was Mary Jo Mier until this summer when she married PSC alum Dave Lainez, a teacher in the Lincoln, Nebr. public schools, believes her presence at PSC provides an added dimension to college ·life "because girls need another woman's face in classes and coaching."

Applejack brings 'firsts'

This year's Applejack Festival was a time of firsts for PSC. The Marching Bobcat Band, under the direction of Dr. David Edris, performed "ir; the Applejack parade and at the football game for the first time. The PSC drill team marchE:d in the parade along with the band for the first time. The Peru Bobcats won the first of the of three games needed to bring .a second Applejack trophy to a permanent home in PSC's trophy case.

Saturday was a nearly petfect Applejack day with a temperature of 83 degrees and lots of sunshine, although some marching band members complained of getting too warm on their march down Central Avenue.

Taking the first place trophy in Division One· for the fourth consecutive year was the Syracuse High School band under the direction of Dale Duensing. Waverly High School

took second place in that division and Nebraska City Senior High placed third.

In Division Two, first place went to Nemaha Valley High School, directed by Barbara Bruce, with Johnson-Brock in second place and Table Rock third.

A new Junior High division was added to marching band competition this year. The winner of that division was the Nebraska City Jr. High School with Bill Jenkins, director. Ralston Jr. High placed second.

Altogether, there were 60 entries in the 2:30 p.m. parade, including floats, bands and miscellaneous entries.

Parade judges included Phil Murphy of Lincoln Pius X, Duane Johnson of Lincoln East and Lee Mendy of Lincoln High · School.

The Water Barrel Com• petition was moved from its previously scheduled time of 10:30 a.m. to a more agreeable

time slot of 2:30 p.m. just after the parade.

First place in the fourthgrade section of this wet and wild contest went to the North Side girls' team and the Second Avenue boys' team. Somewhat · soggy winners of the fifth grade division were the Fourteenth Street girls' team and the Sixth Street boys'. The North Side girls triumphed once again in the sixth grade class, as did the North Side boys.

The PSC Bobcats came away from the 7:30 p.m. football game victorious 'for the fourth consecutive year. Peru closed the traditional Applejack game with a too-close-for-comfort score of 13 to 7. This win could be the first of the three neeeded to allow PSC to keep the Applejack trophy for good, in a place of honor beside its sister trophy that came to rest permanently last year in Peru's trophy case.

Pearson coinillissions group to' study bookstore

By Steve Chatelain

Three members of the small business institute class will conduct a semester research project investigating the campus bookstore, owned and supplied by the Nebraska Book Company according to Russell Beldin, class instructor.·

The project was commissioned by PSC President Douglas Pearson in an effort to find alternative. operating means.

During the past few years, controversies between the college and the independent b<iokstore company-have arisen over which texts shoilld be used

and also over rental practices of the space the bookstore occupies.

The bookstore maintains a three year text rotation policy. This policy increases the total profits because it increases the traffic of used books. The profit ·margin of used books is greater than that of new books. The bookstore maintains that oecause of the small size of the college and the relatively small book trade here, they must adhere to this policy in order to clear even a small profit.

The space in the Student Union that the store occupies, has in the past and would or-

dinarily now, rent for approximately $3,500. However, according to Beldin, the Nebraska Book Company issued the college an ultimatumreduce the rent or lose the bookstore services. Faced with the coming fall term, the college reduced the rent by about one third.

In assigning this business research project, the college administration believes that the students will receive an exercise in applied business. They also hope that the results of the detailed study will provide options in case of another ultimatum.

Recently I've heard complaints about the Student Center fee. Some are complaining about the fee lev.zl ' ($35), while others are wondering what the fee is being used for.

I went to the office of John Letts, who is the sponsor of Student Center Board, to find out about the SC fee. / And I went away feeling that the SC 'fee level is justifiable. ,

According to Mr. Letts, the SC fee level is due. to increasing cost of maintenance of the Student .Center. { The·cost-0f utilities, parts, labor and salaries have gone up during the past five years. In order to keep the doors of the Student Center open, the SC fee has to be The Student Center fee has increased an astronomical. 700 per cent since 1970. In 1970-71, the SC fee was five dollars per semester.

D4ring the next three years, the fee w9s increased twice. It was $20 per semester in 1973-74. From that point, the increases have shown signs of lveling off, but there are no signs that they will stop.

John Letts also mentioned that the enrollment level is another determining factor of the SC fee. The fewer students there are on campus, the higher the Student Center fee will be. This is because the Student Center, which was constructed in 1967, isn't paid for yet. A certain percentage of the Student Center fees is being used as part of the bond payment.

Neal Park is a credit to Peru when its clean

By Karen Runkles

Many a discussion on PSC campus as well as in "civilian Peru" centers around the topic of what Peru does and does not have. One of the things that Peru does have, is a park-Neal Park.

Neal Park was donated to Peru in 1934 by 0. F. Neal as a memorial to his mother, Laura Bradford Neal. The park was dedicated formally in. April of 1935. It was also in 1935 that the deed to Neal Park was turned over to the City of Peru.

In June of 1945, the Richard property directly north of the park. was condemned by the town council for park purposes, bringing the total area of Neal Park up to its present size.

Leo Sondereger, a landscape artist from Beatrice, Nebr., designed the park.

Bordering the front, or southern extremity of the park, is a hedge. Whe.n the season is right, the bushes turn white with blossoms. Just now, they are so choked with weeds that it is hard to tell exactly where the weeds end and the shrubs begin.

Cans, papers, bottles and other trash has collected under the hedge. This clutter could all be raked out in an afternoon if someone would take the time.

To complete th'e unkept facade of Neal Park, there is the dead pine tree. It stands immediately behind the front hedge and has been dead for months. There it stands, with its bare brown arms, looking a very sorry sight indeed.

At .the western end of the hedge, just to the rig,ht of the entrance gate, a gap has been torn where been taken 1 into the park. Two tire marks are 'imprinted · in the plowed There has been no attempt to re-seed this place.

Around the brick entrance gate are many red rose bushes. They were planted by the late Mrs. Helen Eberhart, daughter of Laura Bradford Neal. As well as providing lovely decoration for the park entrance,.. these roses were a great source of pride for Mrs. Eberhart as she cared for them constantly: Since her death in June of 1975, they appear to have been almost totally neglected. Apparently no one has pruned or sprayed them and during the summer drought they received hardly any attention as far as extra watering is concerned. At this rate they will soon be dead.

Upon entering the one can see a continuation of the ·neglect indicated by the and roses.

In spite of the shortage of rain that so plagued Nebraskans this summer, tfle grass is very long. There is no evidence anywhere throughout the park of mowing even as recent as Augus.t.

Approaching the shelter house, a spectacular view of an overflowing trash barrel greets the eye. It has not been emptied in at least two weeks. With all of the excess garbage from the trash cans lying about and.the piling of trash under every bush and hedge, Neal Park begins to take on the appeara,ice of a "Clean Up America" poster.

Evidently, there was quite a party held at Neal Park just after school began. There are evidences of it around the shelter house. Pieces of the fire places are broken away. MosLof the picnic tables ·in and ' surrounding the sheiter house have been broken up. And when I last visited the park, only last week, the rotting remains of several broken watermelons were strewn about on the damaged tables and floor. It should have been up to the park caretaker to clean up this mess.

Further on in the park, ·many broken):franches litter tile ground,-

some lying directly across the path. Very little effort would be needed to pick them up.

Some larger limbs that were torn loose during last year's ice storm. remain where tlJey have faJlen. No attempt has been made to cart them off.

To the east of the shelter house, there is a spot where the water line was broken and had to be dug up. Of course, the grass had to be torn up, but it has left a bare patch .in the ground that turns into a swamp when it rains. There has b'een plenty of time to re-seed this patch but it has not been done.

In the western half of the park, pn a level stretch of ground, are the remains of two small ponds that once sported clear water and brilliant goldfish: Now they are full of debris and stagnant water, making an excellent breeding ground for mosquitoes. Left in this condition, they cease to be the accent of beauty that they were originally intended for and became an eyesore.

Many stone pathways wind through Neal Park. To the .• uninitiated visitor, they might be attractive. But frequent park-goers have learned to avoid ."ij}em unless they are lucky enough to be immune to poison ivy. It grows abundantly. in Peru's park, being especially plentiful along the paths and steps, growing up through the cracks between the stones. It should be killed to prevent park visitors from carrying home more than acorns and leaves as souveniers of a walk in Neal Park.

There are means to keep 'up the maintenance of Neal Park. A trust fund, currently handled by the Bank of Peru was established long ago. Councilman Lyle McKercher said that some $30,000 in c:.ertificates of deposit are in the fund with an interest of $1,800 a year. $1,500 of this

interest is allotted for Neal Park's maintenance.

So why does Neal Park look the way it does? Apparently only neglect cpuld have causi:td its present con di ti on- lnexcusa bl e neglect.

One of the chief goals of the City of Peru, especially in' the past year, has been to clean up Peru and to beautify the city. They have even taken steps to clear out some of the privately owned property to the immediate north of the· park. Yet the park proper,ty, owned by the city is beginning to look as neglected and trashy as the property the city has In short, it, too, is becomi{lg an eye-sore. This is really a shame becausfi) Neal Park could be such a beautiful place, a real ·credit to Peru.

Many people claim it advocates war and want it changed to something less violent. Sure, it depicts war. It was written during a battle in the War of 1812. ·Violent? No, it i ust proves that in times of strife our nation is strong enough to come. out on top when other countries would have toppled.

America, Amer.tea, man sheds his waste on thee, And hides the pines with billboard signs From sea to oily sea!!!"

The so-called violent anthem we have will do for me. I'll ·continue to stand, turn my eyes to a flag that has survived numerous wars, and maybe shed a tear or so as I think of the many citizens who died for her cause. Super patriot?? You bet!

and new civilizations ·in the final frontier. Now we have "Space: 1999," a cartoon of "Return to the Planet of the Apes," Out Space Nuts," and Jim ("Gomer Pyle") Nabors as an andr;oid from Planet X-613 in "The Lost Saucer."

The programs have improved somewhat. For instance, our cops and robbers solved family disputes every week. Then we had the "eight million stories in the Naked City."

Sergeant Friday and his sidekick Ben captured their fair share of criminals.

For lawyers, we had "The Defenders" and "Perry Mason."

Today, women's lib strikes with "Kate McShane/' about a lady judge getting advice from her brother the priest and her father, the ex-cop.

Teachers? We had Eve Arden as "Our Miss Brooks," with squeakyvoiced Richard Crenna as her star pupil. Now we have Kotter leading(?) his band of "sweat hogs"

There was even a horror soap opera!! Dan Curtis brought us "Dark Shadows" in 1965. Every day I'd run home to watch a lady doctor fall in love with and try to cure a 200· year old vampire named Barnabas, use I Ching to discover the cause of his problem, try to cure his werewolf cousin QtJentin at Collinwood in Maine. Together they fought the witch Angelique, herself being at least 150 years old and once married to Barnabas; stop the Devil's children from inheriting. the earth; and fight the monster called th.e Leviathan. In their spare time played· the harpsichord, read Tarot cards and dropi)ed in at the Blue-Whale pub for their nightly flaggon of ale.

So, now I ask: Will the Robinsons get rescued from their island paradise? Will McGarrett finally catch, Wo Fat? Will "the Fonze" drop back into school? Most important of all: what about Howard Cosell?

Some people think the anthem should be that standard made famous by Kate Smith: "That Grand Old Flag." It's a nice song but it doesn'ttell a story like Francis Scott Key's tune. Our nation was born out of violence. We need a song that constantly reminds us of this. Only "The Star Spangled Banner" can fill this need.

How about "America the Beautiful?' That's another tune under· 1consideratlon. I have one question. Is America still beautiful? There are parts of the country with beautiful scenery, I'll admit. However, more and more factories 1 are poisoning the very air we · breathe ahd the water we drink. People destroy the land, burri down the forests {and deprive innocent animals of a home), and kill our fish. Some. say the forests should be cut down to make room for our expanding population. What of future generations? Children will ask their mothers what a forest i.s and she'll have to show ·them a picture!! It won't be. the same

They won't know what it's like to smell pine, crunch leaves beneath their feet, or play hide and seek among the trees. No, "America the Beautiful" won't do. Today, and possibly in the future, the lyrics would have to be changed.

Comedian George Carlin, in all · seriousness wrote these words for the tune:

"Oh, beautiful, for smoggy skies, · grain, For strip-mined majesties Above the asphalt plain.

I remember that day in April so clearly. The sweat was flowing readily, but the answers certainly weren't. The night before the exam, I'd learned perfectly the meanings of the above words, but did they emerge once taking the test? NO!!! And I had a slight hunch that I was wrong when I figured out that it took Mr. Hastings 927 months to get from New York to Boston. I knew I was wrong when that wasn't even listed as a choice.

Oh well, it's possible to take the tests over and over again, and if my calulations are correct (I wouldn't count on it though), I figure that I can get through college by the year 3085. Of course, it might take a bit longer if I'm to travel with Mr. Hastings on a trip to from Peru!!! I guess all I can say is "C'est la vie" (that's life). Hey, perhaps I'll do better on the French Achievement Test!! ·

Glinipse of the elegant past seen at Wilson hoine

By Pat Finley ' a

At 1117 Sixth Street stands the historically and architecturally interesting home of Dr. and Mrs. Gilbert E. Wilson. The Georgian ediface was built · between 1870 and 1875 by Wilson

E. Majors, brother of Col. Thomas J. Majors, state legislator and founder of Peru State College.

When PSC was established, there were no dormitories. This house was of several lar e

houses in town built to house ' students. The late Keith Melvin, academic dean of PSC, lived there as a student.

The house is. constructed entirely of native materials, including brick made in Peru and local wood. The triplelayered brick walls provide insulation that makes heating and .cooling an easy matter in spite of the hetgbt of the ceilings. Originally the walls ·were lined with a hard pine which was later removed. The four chimneys accommodating the stoves used to heat th.e house have been sealed off.

During the fourteen years they have been in the house, Dr. and Mrs. Wilson have remodeled the basement to add an apartment and updated the kitchen, but no major changes have been made; rather, the Wilsons' elferta have been to restore the house to maintain its original character.

Following a color scheme based on Wedgewood blue, the Wilsons have redecorated the house in the Victorian style .·which wes popular at the time the house was built. Many of their antiques are family looms. Mrs. Wilson's interest in antiques led her to take a refinishing course, and while she enjoys the task of restoring the old pieces, she adds that she does not have time to do all the work required for large pieces of furniture.

The Victorian chest and Jenny Lind bed in an upstairs bedroom were brought to this country onboard ship by Dr.· Wilson's grandmother when she emigrated from Wales. In another bedroom hangs a portrait of Dr. Wilson's father when he enlisted in the Spanish American War at age seventeen. The Wilsons still have the coat to the uniform; it has been used in one of PSC's stage productions. The crocheted bedspread is also a memorable piece, made for Mrs. Wilson's sixteenth birthday by her mother.

Mrs. Wilson recently created

a group of beautiful quilted squares made by members of Dr. Wilson's family. Probably meant to be pillow tops, the quilted squares are of satin cut in different shapes, each piece connected with a different embroidery stitch and decorated with embroidered figures and flowers. One square is signed in stitchery by Dr. Wilson's mother, and bears the embroidered date, 1890.

wall arrangement by framing displayed on the piano belonged to Dr. ·Wilson's father. One especially meaningful piece is a mirror with an ornate, handcarved frame which a grateful 3tudent, whom Mrs. Wilson had tutored in English. had her husband send from Thailand.

Both the Wilsons inherited

dishes from grandparents, and Mrs. Wilson confessed that she had to stop collecting dishes oecause she was running out of room. Her real weakness is for Indian jewelry, particularly Navaho and Zuni silver and turquoise. This is an interest she has had an opportunity to

pursue on trips taken to the Southwest

The house itself, and its place in Peru history, along with the meaningful and interesting things the Wilsons have collected, make the Wilson home a fascinating place to visit.

There is a rme portrait of Mrs. Wilson's parents by Peter Lindstrom, and three fascinating pictures on a musical theme by Lowell Youngren, a former music student of Dr. Wilson's.

Sports Bobcats Dr-op Third in Fumble-ridden Game

An error-prone Peru State · College football team went down in defeat to Nebraska Wesleyan University Saturday night 16-8

The Column·

'By

Tom Banks

The time has finally arrived for me to say, "You were Great!" The attendance at the Apple Jack Bowl was good. Despite the fact Peru is a suitcase college, the attendance for this "away" game was above average. We had a larger crowd at the Midland game but a good percentage of those fans came from the Peru area. The crowd at the Apple Jack Bowl was almost all Peru students and alumni.

The point was finally made last Saturday night when Peru and Tarkio weretied and Tarkio was within scoring distance.

· The chants started by the cheerleaders and the response

from the crowd helped the defense hold. That was the turning point in the game. A little support and good communications between the cheerleaders and the crowd produced spirit the Bobcats needed. The ·readership , the cheerleaders exhibited was ohenomenal. The one specific 1hing that really impressed me was the cheerleaders spreading out in front of the crowd. This gave more coverage to more of the fans. This is a definite plus for Peru State. Don't stop now! Homecoming is just around the \corner and the spirit has to be flowing that day. Keep up the good work.

"We're 100 percent better than we were last year," said Audrey Coonce. "Well, at least 80 percent better. We still have a few little bugs to work out."

She is referring to the 1975-76 PSC drill team that has been reorganized this year.

At their meeting Sept. 12, they elected officers and set up a temporary policy. They are working ·on a constitution and nope to become a chartered campus group.

Audrey Coonce is the new captain of the drill team, and the co-captain is Sharon Vollertsen. The other 14 members are: Bettye Jo

· Daniels, Kathy Jenkins, Mary Lewandowski, Judy Donahue, Karen Runkles, Lori McMenkin, Ann Billings, Cory Carlson, Debby Wright, Sherry Taylor, ,Carrie Olson, Gwen Brown, Glenette Watkins and Karla Kenny.

Backfield keeps gains down

year, and thinks it is just a matter of everybody getting together to cut down on mistakes.

After his graduation from Peru State, Stan hopes to put his education to good use, and get a job in a business firm back home.

Bob Shonka, sophomore, hails from Columbus, Nebraska, where he graduated from Columbus Central Catholic High School.

Shonka believes the team looks a lot better than last year as far as spirit and attitude are concerned. He said that last year the team wasn't as together, but this year, Coach Joy has everybody working toward a single goal.

Bob is working towards a ·science major at Peru while he finds out for sure whether his credits can be transferred to a bigger school, where he will make his final choice of ·a major

The third member of the defensive secondary, Dave Werner, is a graduate of Falls City High School in Falls City, Nebraska.

Takirrg time out of a recent practice four of the Bobcats' starters talk about their a§signments and their college plans at Peru State College.

One of the important parts of every football team is the defensive secondary. The defensive secondary is responsible for defense against passes, and long runs. The defensive secondary is the last line of defense between the opposing team and the goal line.

Three starting members of

Junior art major Dave Werner sees an improvement in the defensive backfield this fall.

Werner who is in his junior year at Peru State said that this year's team looks pretty good, with last year's defense back and a riiuch improved offense.

Though last year's defensive secondary was rated 15th in the nation, Dave thinks that this year they may do even better.

Dave is an art major and is undecided about his plans after from Peru State.

lntramurals offer sports to

Students complaining of nothing to do, can sign up for many intramural sports this year :iccording to coach Jack Stewart, head of intramurals.

"We are trying to offer what was here last year and also add to the list of activities," says Stewart.

They will be ·wearing blue jumpers with white blouses, white knee socks and navy and white saddle oxfords. They will perform on the field with the band at halftime during Homecoming and all games after that.

"We're going to have a really good drill team this year" said Bettye Jo Daniels. "We have lots of girls who have good ideas for improving it."

One of their ideas is to make practices mandatory. Ten minutes will be allowed for lateness, after that it's counted as absent. The offender is allowed one warning, then she can be dropped from the team by a majority vote.

Gail Harmon was asked by the drill team to preside over the meeting in the absence of a captain. She said, "This will be the first time the drill team will be organized body. The girls are serious; they want to have a good group and seem to have the self-discipline necessary to make it."

The sports offered so far are flag football, volleyball, basketball and softball. Flag football is to start Sept. 23, with team capt&ins meeting this week.

Also the city of Peru and PSC for the' second year are cosponsoring a college community recreation program using PSC facilities and equipment. The Peru City Council recently approved money to pay student supervisors on a 50-50 basis up to $1,000 for the year.

This is the same agreement reached between dty and

college officials in the 1974-75 program.

Open gym hours are Monday through Friday evenings, 6-9 Saturdays 1-5 and 6-9; and Sundays 3-5 and 6-9.

Swimming pool hours are Tuesdays and Thursdays, 7-9 p.m.; saturdays, 1-5 and 6-9 and Sundays 3-5 and Equipment is available for checkout and check-in daily from 3-4 p.m. which includes canoes, paddles and life jackets, backpat::ks, two man pup-tents, cross country skis, assorted sizes of ski boots and trap shooting equipment. Bows and arrows and horse shoes will be checked out for use in the gymnasium pit only. Volleyballs, basketballs, baseballs, bats and scooters will be available t:uring open gym hours.

There are three returning lettermen and 15 freshmen to make up this year's PSC volleyball team. Coach Mary Jo Lainez believes the lack of returning strength will be no hinderance to the team. Coach Lainez says, "The ability and the talent of the team will make up for the lack of college playing experience." Eight of the 15 freshmen are on volleyball scholarships this year.

The team spends 9-10 hours a week on setting, spiking, blocking, bumping and serving drills. On top of the hours devoted during the week, the team gets together on Wednesday nights after WM for a serious scrimmage.

Coach La.incz is not certain of the varsity six yet. The team captain will be chosen preceding each game.

PS C's Drill Team has added a lot of much needed noise and enthusiasm to the Bobcats games thus far this season. The impact this large group of uniformed cheers has was easy to see in the Apple Jack Bowl where their support contributed to a hard fought victory.

Echoes of "What's a strawberry swizzle party?" swept over the campus recently.

Barb Lyons, president, called the meeting to order and various activities were discussed,- including the upcoming Fall State Home Economics Workshop. Any student enrolled as a regular student at PSC who professes a deep interest and desire to further the aJms of home economics can join the club. Notice of upcoming meeting will be posted.

Yearbook conference held,

Many students from area high schools met at Peru, Tuesday for a · yearbook conference. The purpose of the event was to learn how to create a good yearbook.

Gery Kauffm·an, representative from Josten's Yearbook Company, taught the enterprising journalists "tricks of the trade" from photography to cropping.

A total of about 70 students attended from the following high schools: Nemaha Valley, Tecumseh, Lincoln Southeast, Johnson-Brock, DawsonVerdon and Lourdes.

By Angie Stalder

Nebraska State Senator Gerald Koch of Ralston said September 19, that Peru State College should be closed down and converted into a correctional facility.

PSC President Dr. Douglas Pearson was asked if Senator Koch had ever visited the Peru campus. To his knowledge he had not. "That's only part of it as far as I'm concerned. He (Koch) could come down here and spent five minutes and say that he looked at it and it would make a great correctional facility," said Dr. Pearson. "I think that's only secondary priority, the first being actually learning about the institution, what it is and what it's doing."

Koch criticized state colleges for expanding graduate programs, claiming that such programs should be handled by the University of Nebraska. "I think he's as far off base on that statement as he is about converting this to a juvenile institution," said Dr. Pearson. "I'll point to that one with pride as will the University."

Asked whether or not he thought there was any real danger that Sen. Koch's proposal would come to pass, Dr. Pearson said he thinks that it's too early to speculate on the impact of such a statement. "I think it's premature and way in anticipation of things that may not develop at all." "All he (Koch) did was in front of the legislative committee testify that this is what he thinks ought to happen."

Dr. Pearson thinks there may be too much reaction to Koch's statement. He believes that Koch should hear from the people of Southeast Nebraska. "They're the ones he's pointing the finger at saying, 'You don't need your college.' "

Dr. Pearson conceives that the only way for small colleges to prevent any senator from

saying they ought to be closed, is to make that institution the strongest possible. "I'm proud of what this institution is today, and I'll point to it from any angle and we'll cut this institution up in any slice and examine it and come out on top." "I don't care whether you're looking at our faculty, our student body, or our facilities, with one exception," he said.

Regarding the question of a possible feeder college system put into use in cooperating community colleges, smaller state schools, and state universities, Dr. Pearson said, "I really don't think we can afford to maintain the number of institutions we have without them pulling together in some sort of system." There is no question that it should be done according to Dr. Pearson, although he offered no plan.

A cooperative master program with the University is being held at Peru. Dr. Pearson believes that it's a step in the right direction. This program is a reflection of an attitude that we are willing to take a step for education and not isolation."

Dr. Pearson sees PSC as a part of a whole working for the higher educatiQ,nal needs of the state. He contends that it maybe the. responsibility of a certain segment of that total higher educational system, may fall on a particular institution but this doesn't mean that there can't be communication, cooperation and sharing of needs with other institutions.

Senator Frank Lewis said recently that he would like to see an equilization in fees and transferability between institutions for all hours and credits. Dr. Pearson favors this idea "not only between state colleges but between resident and non resident tuition for all Nebraska state schools.

Peru State to Share Swimniing Facilities

Peru State College and the City of Peru for the second year are co-sponsoring a collegecommunity recreation program using PSC facilities and equipment.

The Peru City Council recently approved money to pay student supervisors on a 50-50 basis up to $1,000 for the year. This is the same agreement reached between city and college officials in the 1974-75 program.

Jack Stewart, Peru State recreation instructor, announced the fall schedule for open gymnasium and swimming pool use by families, school age children and college students. Pre-school youngsters should be accompanied by an adult.

Swimming pool hours, with a registered lifeguard on duty, are scheduled Tuesdays and Thursdays, 7-9 p.m.; Saturdays,

for Second Year

1-5 and 6-9 p.m.; Sundays, 3-5 and 6-9. Both pool and gym schedules are subject to change when prescheduled athletic and campus events are in progress and the gym evening hours will be altered to accomodate college athletic team practices as necessary.

"At the present time," Stewart said, "all athletic practices in the gym are over by 6 p.m. When men's basketball and intramural sports practices and games begin, we may have to do some juggling of weekday open gym hours."

Any changes in hours will be posted on the gymnasium door and published when possible, he added.

Bill Fitzgerald, PSC recreation sophomore from Peru, is assisting as student director in the cooperative venture. College students are

hired for duty during all open gym periods as well as lifeguarding during pool sessions.

Equipment available for checkout and checkin daily from 3-4 p.m. includes: canoes, paddles and life jackets; backpacks; two-man pup tents; cross country skis and assorted sizes of ski boots; trap shoot equipment.

Bows and arrows and horse shoes will be checked out for use in the gymnasium "pit" only and gym equipment-volleyballs, basketballs, baseballs, bats and scooters - will be available during open gym hours.

Stewart, in his first year on the PSC staff, noted, "We are pleased to again be able to share college facilities and equipment with the community through the help of the City Council. We hope to expand the program as interest warrants."

Peru State College President Dr. Doug Pearson believes Senator Koch of Ralston was looking for political mileage when he attacked PSC in remarks before a state senate meeting.

Truman: a One Man Show

By Janie Montang

Either "Give 'Em Hell, Harry!" is a persuasive propelling piece of propaganda - or it is a magnificent characterization of an American hero.

Tep Drawe.r

By Randy Dunlap

State $enator Gerald. Koch's recent remarks regarding Peru State's future constitute nothing less than a cheap political shot designed to appease voters in Ralston.

Attacking budget excess is a safe political issue and makes favorable news coverage, This is one of Senator Koch's real reasons for attacking PSC. No one in his district really knows what is happening in, Peru so his deliberate misrepresentations/ will go relatively unnoticed in Omaha.

Senator Koch's other reason lies in a touchy issue at home-the sight of the new juvenile corrections center proposed for Omaha.

Recently an Omaha resident interviewed on an Omaha radio station suggested putting the "jail out in a corn field somewhere away from our homes." How nice of Senator Koch to suggest moving this city problem from his back yard to ours without even asking.

Senator Koch went on to make several other ridiculous statements.

According to Lincoln UPI <Sept. 20) Koch also criticized state colleges for expanding graduate programs, claiming sucn programs should be handled by the University of Nebraska.

PSC's new master's program is

providing educational opportunities for 32 candidates in its first semester. Nearly all of these people are presently teaching in 'schools in surrounding areas, holding down jobs, or providing for families which would make it impossible for them to drive to Lincoln for classes two or three days a week. There are also many tax-paying citizens in this state who live so far away they could barely drive to Lincoln in one day much less get there in time for a class. What gives Senator Koch the right to decide who gets a master's degree in Nebraska and who doesn't? Perhaps Senator Koch has divine guidance.

Agreeing with Koch was State Senator Roland Luedtke of Lincoln who also put his foot in his mouth. After a visit to some corrections institution in Kansas, Luedtke claims to be sure that Peru State College is a great place for a reform school. Roland Luedtke hasn't been on the campus at Peru for as long as anyone can remember-if ever.

We can only· hope that the responsible citizens of Nebraska realize wha.t these two men are up to. We should also hope that some responsible persons in Ralston and Lincoln are-.planning to run against these men.

Kosch Komment

By Larry Kosch

Senator Koch's recent statements about Peru State College struck me as a shocking surprise. It left me wondering whether the statements are true or whether he is just running for re-election.

After reading Dr. Pearson's press release, it became obvious that Sen. Koch and Sen. Luedtke are trying to drum up support to close Peru State College.

This issue can blow up into a big controversy. These senators are playing a misinformation game. They are telling the people of southeast Nebraska that Peru State College is no longer needed.

One way to beat this political game is to speak out in favor of Peru State College. Let the people of southeast Nebraska know what a thriving college Peru State is and what misinformed souls those senators are.

I went to the special SGA meeting to gauge the student response to the senators' statements. It was obvious that the students felt hurt, insulted and want to speak out. I want to praise the SGA for making the bold decision to urge the students to write letters to the senators.

However, I'm afraid that even though quite a few students said that they'll write letters, very few letters will get written. And the impact of those few letters won't amount to anything at all.

Fellow PSC students, this is your

big chance to do something really good for Peru State. A big flood of letters could easily turn the momentum around and change the minds of these mis-informed senators.

I've already written a letter to Sen. Koch, a letter to Sen. Luedtke, and a letter to the Public Pulse in the Omaha World-Herald. I'm letting my voice be heard. You can let your voice be heard by writing to the senators too. Here are the addresses:

Senator Gerald 0. Koch, 7610 Sunset Drive, Ralston, Nebr. 68127.

Senator Roland A. Luedtke, 327 Park Vista, Lincoln Nebr. 68510.

James Whitmore as the indomitabl,e Harry S. Truman is exquisite. The one-man-show captivates the audience at all points and. is simultaneously witty and historical - thus the audience is entertained plus either educated or reminded of the events which shaped history during the 1940's and early 'SO's.

Truman, the man, and Truman, the President, said what he meant and meant what he said. His outspokeness, haturally at times, was detrimental to his health, but this same bluntness earned strong confidence for him.

Truman's term as President came at a crucial time in history and, as every · President does, he faced extremely difficult decisions. When he succeeded to the Presidency in 1945, following the death of FDR, World War 11 was not yet over. It was Truman who okayed the dropping of the atomic bombs in Japan to end the war. He was still leading the US when the Korean War began, and ever-fearful of Communist aggression, he sent US troops to stop it Truman had difficulty convincing General Douglas MacArthur, commander of the UN troops in Korea, that they were not there to win anything, but simply to stop something.

Truman believed in the worth of all human beings and felt that whites were degrading themselves by trying to keep the Blacks down. As he said - for every Black man held in the gutter, there's got to be a white man down in the gutter to hold him.

Truman despised liars and his contempt for Joseph R. McCarthy seemed well-founded. McCarthy issued charges that Communist infiltration had occurred in executive agencies. Truman described McCarthy's techniques as being that of "the big lie" and said it was the same technique used by Hitler. He said the danger with the "big lie" is that It stuns the people and then through constant repetition they begin to believe it.

He also told newsmen the United States would never be lead by a dictator, but then modified the

Letter To The Editor

Dear Editor:

For work study I make bulletin boards for the library. It irritates me to know there are students on campus who have no respect for property they don't own.

I am referring to the bulletin board at the top of the stairs on the second floor of the library. Twice in the last week and a half, my bulletin boards .have been stolen. Each Qf these pictures took two hours (apiece) to make. Time which I am paid for by the state.

These pictures are copied on the opague projector from books which I own, then colored with chalk. Anyone can do it. Rather than steal my hard work, please ask to borrow my books, I'll loan them anytime. I'll even show how to run the machine. It's worth it to me to not waste my work study hours redoing stolen pictures.

Thank You, Jo Banks

statement, saying the only way the US could become a dictatorship was if a liar was elected to the ' Presidency. Again he noted the hazards of a liar are that the people might believe him. Truman was not a Richard Nixon fan and described him to the press as a liar, saying "He'll lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time." The people of the United States found this to be all too true in the 1970's.

It appears from "Give 'Em Hell, Harry!" that Truman was indeed a man who tried to keep the truth in front of the people. Such a man deserves to be one of America's heroes and seems a refreshing change from what the current college age youth have viewed in their lifetimes. If this production was mere propaganda, it is highly effective.

Bobcat.Boosters Hold Raffle

A 700 pound steer and a 180 pound hog will be the first and second place prizes when they are raffled off during the fourth quarter of PSC's Homecoming Saturday, Oct. 11.

The animals are being donated by the Bobcat Booster Club and are being raffled off, according to PSC wrestling coach Marty Dwine, to "increase people's interest in the raffle and to raise more money for the Athletic Fund than, say, raffling off a television or radio."

The decision to raffle off animals was not made by any certain person but was a spontaneous decision by Booster Club members.

The animals will be kept on campus a maximum of three days and if they are not picked up by the winners within that time, they will then belong to the school to be done with as it pleases.

Profits will be shared by the Booster Club, cheerleaders, and Student Center Board with the majority going to the Athletic Fund. Tickets are $1.00 apiece and may be purchased by any member of the above. With the price of beef and pork continually on the rise, it would be worth the price of a ticket! !

After SGA president Ruth Gottula called the meeting to order, discussion was opened on the subject of Sen. Koch's statements.

Several students stated that they felt hurt and insulted by Sen. Koch's statements. One student pointed out that the economy of Peru is dependent on the college's existence and it would be disasterous for Peru if the college is closed.

During the discussion, several suggestions were made as to what actions the SGA can take. They were: 1. Invite the senators to visit Peru State.; 2. Write a group letter or petition to the senators.; 3. Write individual letters to the senators and the news media.

At the conclusion of the discussion, Ruth Gottula summarized the consensus of SGA that the students of Peru State should be urged to write letters to the senators and the news media.

Ruth Gottula said, "The students at the meeting really felt insulted by those statements. I hope they all write letters."

Amy Walsh said that "the senators don't really know what's going on at Peru State."

Walsh said, "They are not paying any attention to the enrollment increase we have this year. They don't know about the many activities and programs we have going on at Peru State. I think they are trying to lobby against Peru State."

Walsh later added, "It's too early to tell what's going to happen. Either it's going to blow over or it could develop into something for us to really

Short Notice Curtailed Club Days Participation

Six out of an expected 20 clubs set up booths for Club Day, Wednesday, Sept. 10.

One club member observed that the reason for the meager turn out of booths might have been because there was little , advance notice of the Club Fair.

The clubs represented were:

Phi Beta Lambda <Epsilon Taul, (Peru State Education Association), Sigma Tau Delta, Peru State Social Science Society <PSSSJ, Alpha

Mu Omega and WAA (Women's Athletic Association).

One booth worker stated, "The interest shown is about the same as last year. But with the large Freshman class there will be ·interest showing because during their high school years they were more activity-oriented. Most of the students joined clubs dealing with their majors and so with more Freshmen, the interest should pick up."

RESEARCH PAPERS

By Kim Evers

Ten years ago, an experimental program was started by the government. The program was designed to help low income children get a "Head Start" in school. The program is now known as Head Start.

South East Nebraska Community Action (SENCA) is in charge of the Head Start program here in Peru. Marilyn VanGroningen teaches the children along with her aid, Carol Johnk. Twenty children are bussed in on Monday thru Thursday. In class, they have goals for each month. ·Some goals for September are to learn their full names, their bus driver's name, and the value of themselves. The children go on special projects too. They are going to the apple orchards, then learning to make apple sauce.

Each day the children arrive at 9:15andhavea snack. At 9:30 is sharing time. A game follows at 9:45. The children divide into three groups at 10:15 for group activities. Then, at 10:30, they may choose any place in the room to go to. A story is told or a film shown at 11 :30. For the noon meal, the children set the tables at 11:45 and eat at 12:00. The tables are cleared at 12:30, ---------------------, then at 12:45 the children are "' dismissed.

Since Head Start is government funded, a representative comes to check up annually. A representative from Kansas City will be here Wednesday to inspect Peru's Head Start. He will go through the files, making sure all the standards are kept. If not, Head Start will lose their allocation from the government.

Only 80 percent of the money comes from the government. Head Start receives the other 20 percent from people coming in to help them. If they can receive enough persons to come in and help out of interest, they receive more.

Conkle's Plays Depict 1975 Homecomming Theme

"Painting Old Peru" a series of one-act plays are in rehearsal for Peru State's October 10-11 Homecoming weekend presentation.

· They were written by Playwright E. P. Conkle, a native of Peru and 1919 PSC graduate. The four plays chosen by Peru State Director of Drama, Dr., ,Royal Eckert are "Minnie Field," "No More Wars but the Moon," "Madge" and "Granny's Little Cherry Room." They reflect his background in rural Nebraska and are about people with whom he put up hay, plowed corn and attended picnics and funerals.

Action in the four plays is set in the 1920's and '30's. Dr. iEckert has arranged them in a · day's sequence for the Peru · State staging.

"Minnie Field" is a serious. play. The remaining three are comedies.

Now retired, Dr. Conkle and his wife, Virginia, also a PSC graduate, live in Austin, Tex. Before retirement he taught drama at the University of Texas and earlier in his teaching career was on staff at the University of North Dakota.

"Conkle's writing reflects the minds and manners of country folks during a time when midwesterners were little affected by changing society," Dr. Eckert commented.

Rehearsals in progress are much like repertory theater for Director Eckert. Peru State thespians concentrated on one play at a time for early rehearsals, with a separate cast for each show. Rehearsals are now moving into equal time for each show, Dr. Eckert reports, with under three weeks remaining beforeopeningnight. Selected for the Homecoming production are: "Minnie Field" - Kevin Knoll, Nebraska City junior as Alt Page; Tom Whitney, Pawnee City freshman as Jim Day; Kevin Casey, Auburn freshman as Mel Clark; Mark Shively, Ralston freshman as Cornie Young; and John Billings, Omaha junior as Tip Field.

Student Needs On Decrease

There has been a decrease in the number of students in need of financial aids this year, according to Don Miller, director of financial aids. In spite of the many scholarships and loan programs available, there are an estimated 350 PSC students who are on financial aid.

One reason for the decrease is that some of the programs are no longer available this year.

The Tuition Work Grant is one of those programs. In this program, tuition is waived if the student works for the college for a certain number of hours.

A variety of financial aid programs are still available for those students in financial need. They come in the form of grants, loans, tuition waivers and scholarships.

The Basic Educational Opportunities Grant is a federally funded program for any students who began their postsecondary education after April 1, 1973. Supplemental Education Opportunities Grant is a program designed to· aid students with exceptional financial need.

The National Direct Student Loan is a program enabling needy students to borrow money at a low interest rate.

1 This money can be parn back in installments after completion of [ the student's college degree.

There are scholarships to be given to high school students to help with their studentteaching training. Special abilities scholarships are given to exceptional students in the fields of music, art, drama and journalism. A special Board of Trustees Scholarship is available for students who graduate in the upper 25 percent of their high school and score high on the ACT tests. Athletic students can get tuition waivers for their participation in sports.

Bobcats Fling Concordia Into Mud For Second Victory

By Tom Banks

Peru State Bobcats defeated Concordia College Saturday night 20-8 at the Oak Bowl. The game was played in a steady rain.

The Bulldogs received the opening kick off. Failing to move the ball in the rain, Concordia punted the ball away.

Peru took over the ball after the punt on their own 33 yard line.

The first play from scrimmage Peru fumbled the ball and Concordia recovered and took possession at Peru's 33-yardline. Concordia couldn't capitalize on the fumble. Peru's defense held tight and dropped the Concordia quarterback twice for losses so Concordia had to punt.

The punt went into the end zone. Peru took over at the 20 yard line. The first play Dale Patton gained eight yards. The next play Peru fumbled but recovered. On third down and two Gary Rosenback broke two tackles and ran 65 yards for a

touchdown but was called back because of a clipping penalty.

The ball was spotted at the 49yard line of Peru. Peru could not start a. drive so they were forced to punt.

The first quarter ended with both teams scoreless. The second quarter held more excitement for the Peru fans.

After a Peru punt Concordia had the ball on their own 21yard line. Concordia's quarterback was dropped for a loss of two yards. On the next play Peru's defensive end Ted Rippen fell on a Concordia fumble on the 16-yard line. Dale Patton gained two yards on the first play. Then Gary Rosenbeck ran 14 yards for the touchdown. The extra point was good. With 12:38 left in the first half Peru State 7, Concordia College

Peru State College has an excellent coaching staff. The Bobcats are also fielding some of the most talented football players in years. Our defense has shown that it can do the job but that job rarely includes scoring.

With new coaches and new offensive strategy to get used to, it's understandable that our talented but young Bobcats are going to have some timing problems. There are also going

to be some ruined assignments. The mistakes can be c'orrected if everyone on the team does his job. This was not the case in the Wesleyan game. The offensive line performed well at times on the individual level but their team effort lacked enthusiasm. As happens so often, this .personal problem has become a team headache.

Losing to Wesleyan could be an experience if the "Cats" get their game together, enough to really prepare for what looks like a tough November 11 Homecoming duel against Kearney's powerhouse.

touchdown. The extra point failed. With 10:21 left in the first half Peru 13, Concordia o.

The second half started with Peru receiving the kickoff. Peru couldn't move the ball so punted. Concordia took over at their own 48-yard line. Concordia started to move the ball with a pass play that got the ball down to Peru's 36-yard line. On the next play middle guard Fred Marisett recovered a fumble and Peru took over at their own 36-yard line.

Three running plays and a penalty put the ball at the 47yard line of Concorida.

On the next play Gary Rosenbeck set sail on a 47-yard touchdown run. The extra point was good. Peru State 20, Concordia College 0. The third quarter ended without other scores. The fourth quarter started with Concordia fumbling the ball and Peru recovering.

Peru couldn't move the ball in three downs and had to punt. The punt was blocked and Concordia took over the ball at Peru's 17-yard line. Two running plays netted the Bulldogs only one yard. The next play Quarterback Seevers found running back Warneke open and dumped a 16-yard pass to him · for the touchdown. The two-

point conversion was good. Peru State 20 and Concordia College 8. The remaining time in the

fourth quarter saw Concordia College try to play catch up football. Concordia's long passes mostly fell short.

Coach Jerry Joy's Bobcats face St. Benedicts Saturday night at Atchison, Kansas.

Peru's offensive lineup will go unchanged this week with the exception of periodic game substitution at quarterback.

Big Blue will field the same defensive powerhouse used against Concordia with Clarke and Coleman rotating at defensive end. Coach Joy stated that Ted Rippen played his finest game since Joy has coached the Bobcats.

St. Benedicts will use a Pro Set offense which uses a flanker. This offense is similar to that Concordia employed. Rob Winkler, sophomore quarterback started last year

as a freshman. Bob Tumberger, a junior, started last year at split end but switched to defensive end. J. Kassly, a junior, is an outstanding interior lineman. The offensive team last year was weak. Defense used by Benedicts is a 61 type. Benedicts ranked 12th in the nation last year in total defense. Gaylen McLeod, junior defensive lineman, is to be their outstanding lineman. Benedicts ow_ns a winning streak by defeating Friends University, Culver· Stockton and Baker University. Benedictine lost the first game of the season to Hastings College 42-15. Hastings last week ranked 11th in the nation in the NAIA polls.

Cotton, Hosack Asstst Joy

Two PSC students are on Coach Jerry Joy's coaching staff this year. Dan Cotton and Bill Hosack have advanced from playing to coaching.

Dan Cotton is the offensive backfield coach. Cotton graduated from Humboldt High School in 1969, came to PSC to play football and baseball from 1969 thru 1972. He will finish his student teaching this spring and plans to teach and coach.

The defensive backs this year are being coached by Bill Hosack a graduate of Wilber High School in 1971. Hosack played four years of football at PSC and competed in track and wrestling. He will student teach in the spring. His major is in· dustrial arts and recreation.

"Our backs are young but they are improving each game. They all have good speed and like to hit," said Hosack.

When asked about the offensive backs coach Cotton said, "Our backs are lacking a little quickness but it is made up in power and desire. We hope our Qacks improve with each game."

When asked whether they would rather coach or play, both preferred playing football. Bill

Danny Cotton -a PSC senior and offensive backfield coach was also active as a student coach for Bobcat Baseball last spring.

Both friend and foe slips in the mud as a Concordia back makes a kickoff return before slipping on the muddy gridiron. The mud didn't bother Gary Rosenbeck as he rushed for 120 yards and two touchdowns for Peru State.

Hosack, the defensive backfield coach this fall is pleased with his young squad.

Oak Leaf Wilt Hits Peru State

A serious disease has struck the oak trees of the PSC campus. The virus is called oak leaf wilt and is similar to Dutch elm disease.

Oak leaf wilt is a contagious disease that can be transferred between trees by bees or birds. The roots of the infected trees can also pass the virus if they are meshing with the roots of other trees, according to Chalmer Cox, maintenance department employee and PSC's horticulture expert.

Another condition he believes is responsible for the root damage is caused by the relatively recent construction on the campus as this lowers the resistance to the virus.

"They gave us advice as to what should be done with the trees that have the disease. "When it attacks a tree we cut the tree down and all other trees within a 50 foot radia of that tree," said Dr. Douglas Pearson. Three trees have been cut. The virus decays the trunk of the trees hollowing them out,

Dr. Pearson said. Mr. George Wendel, head of the maintenance department, said that the department had planned, to trim many more trees, but with a limited budget and a lack of proper equipment this was not possible. The work will be completed this fall when funds are available.

Come to Peru

Peru State · College will be included as one of the stops on a cross country tour of college campuses by a zany, nostalgic film extravaganza called "The Mind-Boggling, Never-To-BeForgotten-Or-Believed Escape To Movie Orgy." The three big hours of fU'n and campy memories is sponsored by the Jos. Schlitz Brewing Company, and will be shown on Thursday, Oct. 2, 1975, at 7:30 p.m. in the Fine Arts Auditorium. The Student Center Board is presenting the frolic, and with Schlitz paying the bills admission is free.

"Escape To Movie Orgy" comes here completed with segments of many of your favorite childhood TV characters, movie classics (and duds), cartoons, crazy commercials, and bombshell bloopers. It is a veritable bonanza for trivia freaks, nostalgia buffs and lovers of just a plain old good time. Loaded with clips that pop on and off the screen with a certain comic madness, the Movie Orgy could aptly be called "A 2001 Splice Odyssey."

The Schlitz-sponsored Movie Orgy· is currently in its fifth successful year, having played on 235 college campuses to over a quarter of a million students. Campuses continue to ask for

Lonnie Quinn, Dennis Johnk, Terry Kelly and Jim Rezac.

The Bobcats will wrestle at least 25 duals and enter eight tournaments. The first competition will be at the North West Missouri State Tournament on Nov. 22. The competition this year will be stiff. Some of the schools that Peru State will wrestle are University of Nebraska at Lincoln, University of Nebraska at Omaha, Southern Illinois at Edwardsville, Central State Oklahoma, University of South Dakota at Brookings and Adams State, Colorado. The Bobcats will wrestle every Nebraska college team.

The Bobcats recruited very well this year. Omaha Bryan is represented well with five wrestlers attending Peru this year. Omaha Bryan was runner-up in the State last year in class A. The new recruits are:

Dan Brust, Omaha Bryan; Gary Staple, Rock Port, Mo.; Roger Nook, Holstein, Ia.; Mark Brust, Omaha Bryan; Tedd Japp, Bennington, Nebr.; Mark Werner; Hammond, Ind.; Glenn Dawson, Omaha Central; Tom Hamton, Omaha Bryan; Loren Lintner, Syracuse, Nebr.; Fred Gresh, Girad, Pa.; Dan Welty, Omaha Bryan; Darrel Brown, Hammond, Ind.; Randall Rucker, Sidney, Ia.; Doug Nuckolls, Emerson, Ia.; Joe Lahoda, Omaha Bryan; Ron Howard; Kimball, Nebr.; and Melvin Mabie, Nebraska City, Nebr.

Hoinecoining has coine a long way

By Karen Runkles become an annual happening.

PSC

will celebrate its 53rd

Homecoming Saturday.

Homecoming has undergone many changes since its origin.

The first Homecoming was celebrated in the Fall of 1922.

The return of Peru alumni was the motivating force behind the creation of Homecoming. There was little emphasis placed on student activities except for their roles in entertaining the alumni.

That first Homecoming · schedule consisted of a reception for the alumni, a concert by the Faculty Orchestra and a Freshman vs. Sophomores football game.

By the second year, Homecoming festivities, which fell on Thanksgiving Day, had seen a slight change. The college had purchased a radio set. It was set up in the gym where the students and alumni listened to '\a Thanksgiving program given '.bY PSC students.

· This was also the first year that the Dramatic Club Jpresented a Homecoming play.

It may seem odd that there :has been no mention of a dance .in connection with Homecoming. One reason might be that dancing was considered improper. PSC was a teachers' college in those days and the moral code for teachers was strict. Ms. Nellie McAuley, a graduate of Peru, said that when she was in school, they were told repeatedly that as teachers and models for their pupils, they should not go to dances.

Each year the campus is lavishly decorated with colorful displays before. Homecoming and a decoration competition is held. This is one tradition that has been incorporated into Homecoming almost since its beginning. But in previous years, houses near the campus were also decorated and entered in the competition.

Various themes of earlier years included a giant "V" strung with lights that occupied the front steps of Morgan Hall, a giant Bobcat face that reached well over two windows of Morgan Hall with its mouth alone, a miniature guillotine exhibit featuring mainly the opposing team (done by the Blue Devils) and a buzz saw display,·· created by the Industrial Arts Club.

In general there seem to have

been more spirit activities held in Homecomings of the past. As far back as 1929 a downtown pep rally and bonfire, complete with torchlight and snake dance, had

After the big torchlight rally, students were treated to a free movie in the gym, provided by a Mr. Whitfield, owner of the Peru Theatre.

Just before the Homecoming game, hand-made caps and other souveniers made by the Sophomore girls were handed out to the students. All of the students met in front of the gym for a short rally, then marched down to the athletic field, lead by the marching band.

PSC was consistent m the way it played its games. When PSC won, it usually won big and when. it lost, it was usually beaten by a wide margin.

Examples of this were the 1938 win over Midland, 21-6, the 1929 victory over Wayne 39-0, Peru's Joss to Kearney 7-13 in 1942 and the defeat at the hands of Chadron 27-0 in 1950.

PSC's football players had colorful nicknames then as well as now. Some examples from the year 1939 are "Little-Boy" Hutton, "Lucky" Majors and "Piano-Mover" Campbell.

Homecoming royalty in the early celebrations consisted of a Homecoming Queen, crowned at the game or at the dance, and a Gridking and Gridqueen, crowned at the game by the captain. By 1946 the grid royalty was done away with.

By 1927 the morality of PSC was evidently judged strong enough to cope with •he influence of dances on Homecoming Night. Since then, modern PSC students have danced to groups such as Blackberry Winterland and the McNasties, last year's band. But can any of us imagine the excitement of attending a dance where Cliff Kyes and his band provided the music? Or Bob Deckard? How about Ross Richards and his Rhythm Aces, featuring Doris Barker, radio's sweetheart?

Anyone desiring admittance to the dance used to purchase a blue-and-white spirit badge (usually sold at a pep rally prior to the game) and show it at the door.

Today's homecomings have changed most in that they allow the students more of a chance to participate in activities. The importance previously placed

upon the visiting alumni 'is still evident although no longer the ruling motivation behind the celebration. The spirit that created Homecoming, a sensP, of allegiance to the school and to friends for students and alumni alike, is still the primary Homecoming idea.

very entertaining production.

''Painting Old Peru'' Oct. 10-11

The drama department at Peru State College has appropriately chosen a set of four plays called "Painting Old Peru" for the stage production to be shown the evenings of the Homecoming weekend, October 10th and 11th. The play is under the direction of Dr. Royal Eckert, head of PSC's drama

These four plays are ·written about Peru, by a man from Peru, who went to college at Peru, Dr. E. P. Dr. Conkle is a native of Peru and a 1919 graduate of PSC. He and his wife, Virginia, also a Peru grad, are now living in Austin, Texas. He taught drama at the University of Texas and before that at the University of

North Dakota. Dr. Conkle is no longer teaching or writing. Dr. Eckert wrote a letter to Dr. Conkle in hopes that Conkle would be able to make it to Peru to see his plays being used in his own hometown. Dr. Eckert was surprised when Dr. Conkle showed up in Peru a week and a half before production. Dr. Conkle was visiting hi::; brother

here in Peru when someone told Conkle that they were doing some of his plays at the college in Peru. Dr. Conkle came up and visited with Dr. Eckert and was pleased to hear that Eckert has chosen to use his plays. Conkle had to be back in Texas and would not be able to make it back for the play during Hon;iecoming.

The plays were written in the late 20's and set in an area depicting "old Peru."

Dr. Eckert has chosen a unit set to present these four plays to the audience. At the left is a porch area with the yard and fence toward the center. At the right is a room that is also

It would be a good idea for all the alumns and parents this homecoming to make it up the hill and really check things out on campus. For instance the gym. Built in 1905, when Howard Taft was president, this converted chapel has served PSC as a gym for many years.

In this year's State College budget, Kearney, whose field house facilities are already the most modern in the State College System, received a large sum for planning a new gym. They also received $40,000 for a new all-weather track.

The track in our Oak Bowl is not in good shape because we don't have the money to put toward improving

the facility. Peru's new 3.2 million dollar Athletic Complex, in planning for two years was shelved, this year.

lnspite of this, Kearney received in the new budget $100,000 for renovations of buildings. Wayne State and Chadron both received $75,000 and Peru got $50,000.

All of this talk won't do much good. What we need is support. Go home and call your state representative, exercise your right as a tax payer-give him hell. IF you care about Peru as tax payers and voters as well as for sentimental reasons, then a letter and a five minute phone call are little effort. Less effort probably than driving here for the game.

Boo Berry Days gone

By Jan Johnson

The other day I was in the library's periodical section making a half-hearted attempt at studying. When I got tired of this, I began looking'at some old m'agazines. As I perused the ads of magazines 20 to 35 years ago, it suddenly occurred to me that some nationally known products of the time have disappeared completely!!!

For instance, in 1941, we had Listerine Toothpaste. I wonder if its benefits lasted two times longer?? There were also "dated" doughnuts. Every box of Jane Parker's noted pastry had a day of the week printed on it to insure ·It seemed to me that most of the ads 1. saw were of either dog food or toothpaste. For instance; there were Miller's Kibbles Dog Food and Swift's Pard Dog Food. Nowadays, our canine friends have such treats as Prime and-or Prime Variety, Gravy Train, Purina Dog Chow, Alpo, etc. They'll even break an egg into a skillet to get this taste treat for a meal!!

The "Nestle's Quick" of 1941 was Bosco Milk Amplifier. This product existed through the 1950's and though I know I'm revealing my age, I remember using this·product when I was a young student in the mid50's.. The kids today have such products as Quick, and P.D.Q. to flavor their milk. I never knew what strawberry-flavored milk tasted like. I was content to spoon Bosco's thick, sweet chocolate syrup into a glass of milk or onto some ice cream and thought I was in seventh heaven.

Rabbit Molasses (made delicious ginger snap cookies!!!) and-would you believe??-Kellog's Wheat Krispies.

By 1951, the Playtex, Pillow had arrived. It was made for those persons allergic to the feathers used in other pillows. Kellogg's scored again with Pep and Corn Soya. Rayve Home· Permanents gave the ladies cushioned hair rollers They could wash their hair·with Packer's Tar Shampoo. ·For lundh they eat tuna. Not just any tuna, mind you, but Breast O'Chicken Tuna or Tuna Flakes. To brush after every meal there was Amm-i-dent ToothP.aste For the felines in the family, there was Spratt's Cat Food.

It was announced last week that a new reformatory will be built in Omaha, Nebr. I was wondering why we had all of this not air about converting Peru State into a reformatory while this Omaha decision was taking place.

I told a friend about my bewilderment on the reformatory issue. My friend, who is well-informed on the subject of political dickering, told me what was really happening in Lincoln, Nebr. After my friend finished talking, I concluded that Senator Koch and Senator Luedtke were using Peru State as a political football to pressure Governor Exon into allowing the reformatory to be built in Omaha.

If you're just as bewildered as I was, then let me explain to you how it all really happened.

When a new reformatory was proposed to be built in Omaha, Gov. Exon vetoed the proposal as he though the land price.s were too high in Omaha.

Both Senator Koch and Senator Luedtke realized that if the reformatory is not built in Omaha, federal funds for the new re1ormatory will not come to Omaha. So they hatched a plan that would raise everyone's ire, including the governor's. And the plan was a proposal to turn Peru State into a reformatory.

When the "Peru State Reformatory" proposal by Senator Koch was made public Gov. Exon came out in support of Peru State. And he

grudgingly allowed the reformatory to be built in Omaha. Why?? Because he was being pressured to allow the reformatory to be built in Omaha.

Now, can you see why Senator Koch put out such a crazy proposal to turn Peru State into a reformatory?? He is using Peru State as a political football to throw around.

It's like the situation where a bunch of mean boys wanted to play football in a backyard belonging to a puny old man. The old man kept running the boys off his yard. The leader of the mean boys decided to move the football game to the old man's front yard. A beautiful flower bed lies right in the middle of the front yard. The old man, realizing that his flower bed could be trampled on, grudgingly allowed the mean boys to play in his backyard to their hearts' content.

I respect Governor Exon for his support of Peru State. While at the same time, I despise Senator Koch's political doings. He is doing things that a senator is not supposed to do.

The election of a' senator to the legislature represent trust and confidence by the voters in the senator. It is the senator's responsibility to satisfy his constituent by performing his office duties efficiently.

Senator Koch has failed to do just that. If the Ralston voters are smart next fall, Senator Koch will not be re-elected. And an honest citizen will be there to take his place.

Other products of 1941 no longer in existence include Presto Cake Flour (for better, moister cakes), Chix Diapers {now we have Pampers, Curity Tape Tabs or Kimbies), Brer

Four years 1.ater there were these well-known products (how many do you remember?): lpana Toothpaste with W.D.-9; Beau Kreml Invisible Hair Tonic (before the Wet Head died); Sunshine Surf detergent; Wise Potato Chips; Flor-ever Vinyl floor coverings and counter tops; Minute Man Instant Frosting; Dromedary Pound Cake Mix (w'ith free cake pan inside· the box); Bromo Quinine Cofd Tablets '<n'ow we give our cold to Contac); GroPup Dog Food; and Dramex Paints. It's hard to believe these products have disappeared. We today have some strange names for products and I wonder what people 35 years from now will say about them. Take these for instance: for cereals we have Freakies;· Co\lht Chocula, Chocolate or Fruity Pebbles, Boo Berry, Frankenberry, Honeycombs and Golden Nuggetts. Vitamin-wise we have Bugs Bunny and Friends, Monsters and Pals. Men's hair sprays such as Command and the Dry look may be gone. It is something to wonder about.

Letter To The Editor

Dear Editor: Nothing to do? That's your fault! No school spirit? That's your fault also! Football players howl that no one has spirit-well, more people show up at a football game than football players show up at activities.

A scheduled basket· social was planned with plenty of advance notice. Does any one show up? Not many, except some cheerleaders, drill team girls and girls from the dorms. They took the time to fix the boxes as well as spent the money for them.

People complain there is nothing to do when there is a dance and no one shows up. There was a dance in the gym with a band and not many showed up. •

I'm tired of rehashing the same problem that I'm sure students have voiced for years and done nothing about. It's obvious that nothing is going to happen unless students make it happen.

let's face it. There won't be any action unless we make it. Students, it is up to us!

Wanna watch acommercial??

By Jan Johnson

Commercials are getting more and more absurd as the days go by. Companies will do anything they can think of to sell their product.

For instance, a few years ago you wondered where the yellow went wher,i you brushed your teeth with Pepsodent. Today you use UltraBrite to give yourself-gasp!! !-,--sex appeal!!

I saw an ad for a girdle the other day. The model looked like a fat. transplant would bring her weight up to 75 pounds, if she were lucky. She claimed she needed firm control for her stomach and hips. To this I say, "Ha!!!"

Then there's the one where a skinny model in a flowing, gold evening gown glides across the screen daintily nibbling on a piece of Lite Line cheese and, in a breathy, sexy voice, asking, "What have you got to lose?"

day? They were banned a few years ago, so now instead of inhaling deadly tar and nicotine, we can learn to chew tobacco and get the same enjoyment. Again, I say, "Ha!!" Fat chance, fellas!!

Women once stewed over what they should feed their living bra. Now they don't wear one. Jane Russell tells us to wear the "18 hour bra for you full-figured girls." For the men, their Fruit of the Loom underwear is priced under a dollar for the umpteenth time.

If everyone used every product they see advertised every day, could you picture the perfect person?

A FULL day is scheduled for Homecoming 1975. A variety of activities include a parade, football game, chili supper, play and dance surrounding the theme, "Those Were the Days." I, as SGA President, on behalf of the Student Governing Association, invite you as students, faculty, staff, alumni, friends and relatives to join in the excitement and make "our day," your day.

Here's my theory: he (or she) would use Ultra-Brite for sex appeal or Crest for no cavities; wash their hair with Johnson's Baby Shampoo; get double protection with new Right Guard (don't wait for your tee-shirts to tell you you need it!) or push the panic button with super dry Soft and Ori; eat Kentucky Fried Chicken; be good to themselves with Tab; enjoy Egg Beaters, Sizzlean, and six-hour-old Max Pax for breakfast; wear Leggs for better support; be a "fresh face" with Maybelline (not to mention have fat lashes! l; highlight their hair with Quiet Touch; and take Femiron or Geritol every day for the daily adult requirement for iron. After dinner they might relax with Lancer's Rose' wine.

Freshmen hazing ob90/ete?? The Life of a Candv Machine

All freshmen must greet an upperclassman in this way, "a freshman says hello to you." Also, upan the order "bow freshie" of any upperclassman all freshmen in the vicinity must do just 'that. Anyone who does not oblige these rules will be summoned before the kangaroo court where justice will be served.

That'?,how it would be, freshmen, if this were 1947 rather than 1975. Today the practice of freshmen hazing is a lost art on Peru's campus but thirty years ago upperclassmen displayed a well-honed knack for harrasment. For instance, a frosh was "encouraged" to assist upperclassmen in shining shoes, carrying books and doing other menial jobs. According to the Petu Pedgogian of Sept. 26, 1947, all freshmen were expected to learn the color song and be prepared to sing it at any time. Also they were to gladly oblige when asked to present their talents at

convocations.

The initiation period ended with the conclusion of the Homecoming week's festivities, but freshmen .girls remember that last week with a special embarrasment. It was during this week that new girls had to wear mismatching socks and go without makeup.

The upperclassmen had an· acute awareness of degrading punishments for anyone desecrating these initiation rites. If you tiappened to see a frosh with his pants on inside out you knew that he had made a punitive stand against tradition. Another common punishment in those days was the solo singing of the school song at convocations.

The plight of the Freshman has always been miserable but until recently it was a test of against those vengeful upperclassmen.

Truck On Down To The PIZZA HUT

By Kathy Hamann

The nerve of some peoplekicking me around the way they do! ! ! And a II because they got Jujubes instead of Bonbons. The life of a candy machine, I can tell you isn't easy and all sweetness.

Of coJJrse, the fact that I was the product of a mixed marriage didn't help. My mother was a drink m!lchine, and my father was a sandwich-vending machine. Father was the solid citizen in the family. Mother kept running hot and cold.

In all due modesty, I must say I grew up to'1)e a pretty comely miss. Because I was so appetizing the district manager shipped me off to a plush hotel lobby in Las Vegas. I promised not to flirt with the slot machines, and mother warned me about all those "one-armed bandits."

Well, let me tell you I've never felt so abused in all my life. It seems

most people in Las Vegas spend all their money on gambling. And those who don't, can get awfully nasty to candy machines. One man kicked me right in the Milk Duds!!!

It was then arranged to install me in a calmer atmosphere-<>r so they said. I was relocated fo.a private girls school in the East, and believe me, those kids could be brutal. If I was one second late in delivering their chocolates, they'd paund and beat and hammer my sides. May they all break out in ACNE!!!.

Now I am no longer young and toothsome. But I have finally found a calling in my life. I'm a candy machine in the basement of a nice hospital. It's not as swank as a hotel lobby or as swish as a girl's private school. But when a sick child gets out of bed to put his dime in me, I get so choked up, I give him two candy bars for the price of one.

President Welcomes Alums

If one word could characterize the 1975 Homecoming, I believe "Pride" would be the most appropriate and descriptive. All things considered, there is much of which to be proud. We are proud of the manner in which every person-student, faculty or alumnus-carries the mark of a Peruvian. Everywhere one looks, outstanding accomplishments and respectful successes give a mark of distinction.

Many landmarks have blanketed the past few months which support an optimistic look at the future. Permit me to highlight several. During the Commencement ceremonies last May, Peru State was honored to present the, Distinguished Alumnus and Service Awards to two of our fine people.

This fall an already super faculty was complimented by new personnel who further strengthened the quality of offerings on the campus. Our six percent enrollment increase is fine enough but when you consider this is the most talented, brilliant and exciting student body in years, then you too can share the pride.

Plan to see the Homecoming play written by alumnus Dr. E. P. Conkle, observe the largest band participation ever and certainly support the Bobcats who will show you a good deal of character.

On behalf of the Peru State College community, I would like to extend a special welcome to Mr. and Mrs. Al Wheeler. This is a gentleman who has become a legend in his own time. Al, we hope you have a pleasant visit and we all wish you many years of good health and happiness.

We look forward to many more Homecomings which will be even better.

The time span covered in these plays is a days sequence. The first play is set at predawn to the last play at moon rise. The day takes place in the late 20's or early 30's.

The first play, "Minnie Field," was· written from an actual experience Dr. Conkle encountered while attending PSC. The setting is on a porch in the solitude of predawn with a group of men at a wake. Conkle was inspired to write this when the husband of the deceased called him late in the night to write the card to put on the flowers of his dead wife. The family felt that a college man could choose the appropriate words for the card.

"No · More Wars but the Moon" centers around a ladies' aid meeting in a small frontier town like Peru. A young widow's arrival, Mrs. Tansey, played by Kim Tudor, receives a variety of responses from the other ladies at the meeting and "turns the world upside down."

The play is actually a sequel to "Minnie Field." Conkle said that he was a good, hard working man but got involved with telling stories once in awhile.

"Granny's Little Cherry Room" deals with Orry and Lessie Sparks, played by Kevin Hart and Angie Stalder, who find happiness through the help of Granny Painsberry, played by Janet Wilson.

Jean Cassady and Kip Hurly are the assistant directors. J. Harten Billings is ·director of light design, as well as a member of the cast. The other members of "Painting Old Peru" are:

Minnie Field Alt Page-Kevin Knoll; Jim Day-Tom Whitney; Mel Clerk-Kevin Casev: Cornie Young - Tom Ballue; Tip Field - John Billings.

Dr. Leland H. Sherwood, Associate Professor of Art and Chairman of the Division of Performing Arts at PSC, has several paintings currently in exhibits, and recently discussed his work with us. Dr. Sherwood works primarily in water color, a medium he has enjoyed using. for twenty years.

Dr. Sherwood currently has three paintings in a show at the Haymarket Gallery, 119 South Ninth Street, in Lincoln, showing from October 3-27. This is the second in a trilogy of shows celebrating the nation's bicentennial, the first being "Heritage: Trees" in 1974. Both lead up to "Heritage: Midwest Melting Pot" in October 1976. The theme of this invitational show is designed to evoke nostalgia, to portray the austere, the unusual or the typical in the building that has gone on in our part of the world. This is Haymarket's major group show of 1975 and will represent the work of fifty of this area's finest artists. Paintings Dr. Sherwood has in this show are "Shower at Arbor Lodge," seen above, "The Loft," and "Winter Comes to PSC," previously on exhibit in the president's office. The other paintings shown in this article are currently on exhibit at Wildwood Arts and Crafts Center in Nebraska City.

Dr. Sherwood also had two paintings at the Joselyn Museum this summer in a twomonth show called "Nebraska '75," an invitational show of fifty Nebraska artists, representative of current art work going on in Nebraska. He is also represented in a number of private collections, including ones in New York, Chicago and Omaha.

Dr. Sherwood taught high school art in Hiawatha, Kansas, where he was Art Supervisor. From there he went to Highland Park High School in Topeka, Kans. He came to PSC in 1963, leaving for a year and a half to work on his doctorate at the University of Indiana. In addition to his teaching and responsibilities as Chairman of the Division of Performing Arts, Dr. Sherwood also teaches a weekly night class in water color at Tecumseh.

"Teaching is good for me," says Dr. Sherwood. "It keeps me fresh and always looking for new and different approaches to water color. In addition, you have to be reasonably proficient at something in order to teach it." Conversely, painting helps him to develop his teaching technique, so that the two pursuits really complement each other.

While working on his masters degree at Wyoming, Dr. Sherwood says he worked mostly in oils. A great deal of his formal education was in the field of ceramics, and he has worked in acrylics, and so has a broad base of experience, but his favorite medium is water color. Because of the infinite variety of approaches, Dr. Sherwood says, water color is an intriguing medium. It involves constant experimentation and discovery. While constantly experimenting in his own work, he also reads widely to learn about new techniques being written about and used by other artists.

In addition, because of the transparency and subtlety of the medium, there are some effects more readily achieved with water color than with any other medium. Dr. Sherwood is particularly concerned with the effects of atmospheric conditions, to which water color lends itself well. "Shower at Arbor Lodge" and "Summer Shower" both portray interesting effects of rain, cloudy conditions, and water, while

that he is involved in more shows and his work is gaining wider exposure he is occasionally asked to paint a certain subject, and he says this can be frustrating. He prefers to be free to paint without the inhibitions of external demands. Nor does he look at painting as a form of moneymaking, though he does sell his work quite frequently. He considers it a form of relaxation and recreation as well as a

source of personal satisfaction.

He likes to do landscapes and architrectural forms, and sometimes incorporates plant or animal forms, and other forms from nature into a painting, but is not concerned with human figures, and never uses them in his pictures. Dr. Sherwood grew up in Chester, Nebraska, on a farm, which, he adds, is perhaps reflected in his choice of subject matter. He often drives around the countryside to make observations and glean ideas; he also uses magazines, such as Nebraska Land, which contain scenic material and are rich sources of inspiration. He does not take photographs and reproduce them in a representational manner; however, he says he may refer to them as a possible point of departure.

Dr. Sherwood says he usually starts a painting with a plan, but he likes to remain flexible and capitalize on the characteristics of the medium. He says he can better achieve the atmospheric effects he is interested in with the smooth surface of illustration board. He makes use of many different techniques to establish mood.

One technique involves gluing tissue paper to the surface and painting over it. The soft torn edges and wrinkles in the tissue add a variety of textures and interesting surface qualities. Tissue was used in both "Wild Strawberries" and "Burning Stubble." The behavior of the paint on the wrinkled tissue contributes a characteristic "veined" effect which is unique.

Johnson to Serenade Peru

Michael Johnson has already absorbed more styles of music than most of us get into in a lifetime. But it comes naturally to him-he was born into the business.

As a young boy in Denver, Michael's older brother taught him to play guitar with both of them teaching themselves highly irregular fingering techniques.

"My first gig was at 13 in a VFW Hall," says Michael. "We played for five bucks a night and all the screwdrivers we could drink."

He followed his brother into Colorado State College, intending to major in music education. But after winning a national talent contest sponsored by Columbia Records and WGN Radio in Chicago, he walked out on finals to accept first prize which included a recording contract with Epic Records (he now has an album on Atlantic Records called "There is a Breeze"). Soon after he was playing in folk clubs throughout the nation.

When American trends went from folk to· rock, Michael headed for a guitar conservatory in Barcelona, Spain and studied for one year, not so much to become a classical guitarist-though he became an adept one-but to learn more about the guitar. Upon his return to the U.S.A., he ioined the Back Porch Majority, an offshoot of the New Christy Minstrels.

'Thief' comes to Peru State

On October 12 at 7:30 in the Fine Arts Auditorium, Ryan O'Neal stars in "The Thief Who Came to Dinner."

T,his Bud Yorkin-Norman Lear movie from Warner Brothers has O'Neal playing a computer-age dropout who starts a happy new life as a brilliant burglar stealing fine jewels from the filthy rich. Jacqueline Bissett is his girlfriend, a Houston socialite suddently short of cash. Following close on their trail is Warren Oates.

Webster McGee, the Chess ·burglar, is Ryan's character.

' He is a bright young man with a broad taste and lots of style.

' This fits Ryan's style of living perfectly. In real life he enjoys girls, precision automobiles, prizefights, lush living, and motorbikes. He enjoys success and knows how to deal with it. Made on location in Houston, · "The Thief Who Came to I Dinner" is based on the lively I novel by Terrence L. Smith. 1 Yorkin directed from a screen) play by Walter Hill.

$1,000,000 to Band-o-raina draws 20 groups

PSC in l 7 year

By Jan Johnson

Over $1,000,000 has been loaned to Peru State students during the last 17 years. Sound surprising? It's true. Since 1958, the National Direct Student Loan (N.D.S.L.) program and the Peru Achievement Foundation (PAF) have worked• together to provide money for students in need of financial aid.

Alumni area businesses and friends·' have put up approximately 10 per cent of this million dollars to make these loans possible, and it was done through donations to the P AF. For example, this year nearly $150,000 wijl be available, through the N.D.S.L. program. The Federal government matches every dollar put up, thus the remaining 90 per cent. The P AF is a non-profit corporation separate from PSC but made up of persons who wish to support and promote PSCc Officers are M. Allan Casey, Auburn, president; Arthur R. Majors, Peru, secretary; Joseph Masopust, Peru, treasurer and vice president; and William G. Snyder, Peru, executive officer.

The Board of Trustees is made up of John L. Lewis, Omaha; Maxine Russell Moore, Lincoln; Carroll Lewis, Peru; Fred Rothert, Auburn; Jack Mcintyre, Peru; Robert Smith, Johnson; Ross Adams, Peru; Charles Gabus, Des Moines, Ia.; Ruth Boeckner Demaree, Omaha; Claude- Mathews, Auburn; Ward Reesman, Falls City; John Stevenson, Peru; Verne Jones, Nebraska City; Jack Hallstrom, Omaha; Don Kampe, Auburn; Bob Jones, Johnson ; J. H. Pullman, Sidney, Ia.; Jane Smith, Randolph, Ia.; Art Weaver, Nebraska City; and Larry Ebner, Omaha.

Honorary Board member is Al G. Wheeler, Mathews, N.C. Exofficio members are the Alumni Association president and Peru State's president.

In 1975 the P AF will make available $11,167 in loans and $3,235 in scholarships. This money came from donations made by anyone interested in the future of PSC. To raise money, volunteers went out asking for donations, flyers were sent out in "mass mailings," and the Board of Trustees and Snyder aided in the solicitations.

The fifth annual PSC Band-oRama and Homecoming Parade will feature 20 bands this year. There will be more than 1,100 musicians playing together at half time. With sponsors and other people associated with the band more

than 2,000 people will be coming here for the event.

Dr. Gilbert Wilson, director of musical activities, said the bands will meet at 8:30 on the football field; band rehearsal will begin at nine. The Homecomin Parade will start out at

Fitzgerald Fired Over Disagreement

Mrs. Sue Fitzgerald, P.S.C. Sports Information and News ,Bureau director, was fired Saturday, September 27, by PSC President, Douglas Pearson.

Dr. Pearson would not comment on- the incident beyond acknowledgement that Mrs. Fitzgerald was no longer with the college.

Sue Fitzgerald, wife of Athletic Director Tom Fitzgerald, .also refused to discuss the matter.

Janie Montang, P.S.C. student from Nebraska_ City, was hired to fill the News Bureau slot. Mrs. Joy, wife of the Bobcats' head football coach Jerry Joy, will assume the duties of sports information director.

Mrs. Fitzgerald was fired Saturday night after the Peru. Concordia game over a disagreement with policy regarding the limited press box facilities at the Oak Bowl. An argument at a party following the game sparked the dismissal.

Oliver cone ert is big hit

The Neal Dining Hall floor , was covered with pleased listeners Sept. 21, when Oliver and Jericho Harp sang and joked their way through the evening in the SCB September concert.

Jericho Harp opened with Tom Schmidt and Jim Thomas singing tunes of their own and those of other artists. From Minneapolis, Minn., they played in Peru last year.

Bill Oliver, from.Chicago, Ill., came out after Jericho Harp and sang much in the same style as J. H. did. He was rejoined by Jericho Harp for the finale.

The audience "got into the music" and proved it by giving the performers a standing ovation.

An estimated 75 persons attended the September concert.

11 a.m. from the football field and wind through downtown ' Peru. The reviewing stand will be in front of the Peru State Bank. Judging will be done at this time. During half time the bands will assemble together.

Robert Leigh of Platteview will direct them in Host of Freedom; the United Nations March will be played under the direction of Gary Debolt of Nebraska City.

There are four classes for the high school bands. They are: Class A-schools with an enrollment of 401 or above, Class B-schools with an enrollment between 201 and 400, Class C-schools with an enrollment between 101 and 200, and Class D-schools with less than 101 students. Eight bands· will compete in class D, four in Class C, two in Class B, and two bands will compete in Class A. Three junior high school bands will compete against each other. Trophies will be awarded to the winning band in each catagory. The band from Horton, Kansas will perform but Kansas law prohibits their taking part in the competition.

Five directors of bands who will be here are PSC graduates.

They are Jim Lickson of Falls City, Bob Patterson of Pawnee

City, Russel Workman of Fairbury junior high school, and Maynard Geschke of Benedict. ·

Lickson was a trumpet player at PSC and was active in MENC. He married another PSC student, Diane Dunn. Patterson was an instrument major. He taught at Table Rock before moving to Pawnee City. Russel Workman was a singer as well as a baritone horn player. Bob Tipton was a saxophone player. This is his second year teaching at Hampton. Maynard Geschke graduated last spring. This is his first year of teaching and his first band.

"Band Day started five years ago as a co-operative effort of Dr. Tom Scherer, who was president of the Chamber of Commerce, and myself." said Dr. Wilson. "Since then it has always been a joint project of the Chamber and the college. The Chamber of Commerce pays the judges and provides the trophies. The year it started only seven bands attended. It has been growing ever since."

The first Peru State football team was organized in 1887, and was the first athlPtic team of the colle e.

The PAF not only asks for direct gifts, but also asks for a remembrance in wills. The latter provides a memorial fund with money for scholarships that, according to Mr. Snyder., "could last forever." The students are being helped now so that when they are able to later, they might return the favor.

If you, the PSC student, would like to give support now, why not patronize the area businesses who are supporting you? The following is a list of these businesses: Bank of Peru, Duffy's Inn, the Front Page, Ken's IGA, and Peru Mini Mart in Peru; Central Beverage Company, Mercer Hardware, Scharp Distributors, Culligan Water Conditioning and Knoll's Appliances in Nebraska City; Hemmingsens Clothing, M-O('dy Implement, Hanse 1 Mo to ·s, Schneider OK TirP Service, Hahn Clothing, CaseyWitzenburg Funeral Home, Pohlman Motor Compan:1, Farmer's Co-op Oil Association, Auburn Newspapers and Johnson Motor Company in Auburn; First National Bank, Johnson; James Oil Company, First National Bank, and Falls City Federal Savings and Loan in Falls City. Your dollars (acorns) invested (planted), can grow into a money tree (loan fund). You are, therefore, making oak trees out of acorns.

Achievement Foundation

Puts Students in Class

Many students attend PSC on scholarship grants or with the aid of loans from the Peru Achievement Foundation.

Mr. Bill Snyder, Director of the Foundation, said that it is a separate body from Peru State College whose purpose is to raise money for student loans and scholarships.

Mr. Snyder said that there were 46 students on PSC who were being aided by scholarships.

Regarding student loans, Mr. Snyder said that response has been excellent. The National Direct Student Loan Program, said Mr. Snyder, is over the million dollar mark. He also said that there ar $150,000.00 worth of loans being used by the PSC students.

In regard to the importance of these loans, Mr. Snyder said that many students had told him they would not be able to attend school without them and that the availability of these loans on PSC was a great influence upon their decision to attend Peru.

The Peru Achievement Foundation is kept in operation by contributions.

Kearney is old hat to PSC

Peru State College meets long time rival in Kearney State October 11 for Homecoming 1975.

This is the 58th meeting for the two teams. The first game played in 1909, Peru State winning the game 2-0. Peru won the two following games 12-5, 63. In 1912, Peru ran into a powerhouse Kearney State and suffered a 74-0 defeat. The following four years saw Peru go down in defeat to Kearney 210, 13-21 and 26-0. From 1919 to 1935 Kearney State scored only 13 points against the Peru State Football team.

The largest number of points scored by a Peru Sfate team against Kearney State came in 1920 when Peru State defeated Kearney State 103-0. Peru held Kearney scoreless from 1919 until 1926, the longest time for either of the teams to be held scoreless.

In the series between Peru and Kearney there was one forfeit, that occurred in 1957. Peru won the contest 1-0, with no written statistics explaining why it happened.

In the total series, Kearney State holds the edge 28-27 with two ties for the teams.

Coaches' Corner

After an impressive victory over Benedictine College Saturday night, Jerry Joy's Bobcats look to next week's Homecoming game with Kearney State College.

The "Cats" experienced some injuries at the Benedictine game. Steve Wolpert, starting linebacker for the first five games might be lost for the rest of the season because of a knee injury. Ray Woerlen was being treated for a bruised kidney but is expected to be at full speed for the homecoming game. The offensive unit moved the ball against Benedictine and is expected to be able to move against Kearney. Jerry Weber, a starting defensive lineman who was injured in the Wesleyan game, will be at full

speed for Homecoming. Kearney State College is 2 and 2 for the season. Kearney's, losses are to Northwest Missouri State and Pittsburg 1 State. The two victories are ·. over Ft. Hayes State, 10-7, and Chadron State College, 33-0. The starting offensive backfield men are big and fast. Their outstanding back is Dave Burke, 6'2" 205 pound junior who is one of the leading rushers in the N.A.I.A. District 11. The quarterbacking job should be held down by Junior Chris Fornoff. Kearney State doesn't pass often and concentrates mostly on the rushing game. Kearney has the second ranked defense in N.A.l.A. District 11. Kearney has beer:i inconsistent but has played tough schedule.

Joy sends in a play Saturday night at Benedictine. He the right calls - Peru , en rc rne 14.

"Plain mean" is a choice word to use when describing the defensive linemen of the PSC Bobcat football team. Averaging 218 lbs., 6'l1h" per man, the "Fearsome Five" has performed well since the season opener with Midland. They will be strongly tested by the Kearney offense which averaged 334 yards per game this season.

The Bobcat front line is iust plain mean!

The backbone of any defense is the interior line. The line is up front on the battleline to stop the run, put on a furious pass rush, and put pressure on the opposing team's QB. The line is the first and foremost line of defense.

Kathy's Corner

By Kathy Hamann

He moves ahead where others fear to venture. Always looking forward he never looks back, "You never look behind for a leader, you look to the front."

He may be small, but his heart is big, and that's what counts. You can measure his ability, but not his heart.

His hands are on the present, his eyes are on the future, and his back is on the past. He'll only talk when he has something to say. He has pride, and that says it all, pride in what he does, pride in what he thinks.

His mind works quickly, his body functions like a well-oiled machine, to hesitate is to lose.

To react is to conquer.

He has desire, desire in what he does, a desire to perform, a desire to react, a desire to do well, to win.

His senses are geared to his

way of life, nobody can tell him what to do. All eyes are on him when he performs, but to him only God is watching.

He has backbone, when some. thing is to be done he doesn't look for someone else, he does it himself. He needs nobody to push him, if pushed he's liable to snap back with a crack.

He has a deep feeling inside himself, a feeling which is hard to describe, the feeling of a thousand butterflies running recklessly inside him. His palms will sweat, his knees might shake ever so slightly. But this is why he's here.

He may be knocked down, but he'll get up again. It's not a sin to get knocked down' it's a sin to stay down.

He has pride in all, desire in everything. He's a man; He is an athlete, He is a football player!!!

Ray Woerlen, a 6-3, 230 lb. tackle comes from Brock, Nebr. Woerlen, a senior, says Peru uses a 5-3 defense.

Fred Marisett, a 5-io, 220 lb. noseguard, hails from Hammond, Ind. Marisett's main objective is to try out for the pros. Marisett said, "Peru employs a regular Oky 52 defense, similar to Oklahoma's. Marisett also said Peru has no certain wishbone defense, but that Peru does have special

stunts for use against the wishbone.

Mark Clark, a 6-1, 190 lb.

Essence, a band from Weeping Water, donated their time to play. Because of car trouble they were late.

The dance was a 150's fling, but only a few "greasers" showed up. Spotlights were brought out to spotlight some couples.

S! ! ! The PSC cheerleaders stand in front of the crowd leading one of the favorite cheers of the season. Like any other job-the cheerleaders have strived to gain more spirit and involvement from the students at PSC during the 1975-76 athletic school year.

Homecoming projects to promote enthusiasm include a snake dance, bonfire and pep rally on Friday night, with a ride in the traditional Homecoming parade on Saturday morning.

One addition made to the squad is the new alternateKathy Hamann. She has found cheering to be fun and interesting, she said, but it is hard to remember Everything in such a short time. She will be cheering with the other girls at the game on Homecoming Day. The cheerleaders plan a trip to Chadron to support the football team.

These girls are trying hard to get crowd participation but they need the help of people who care!!! They ask everyone to get out and YELL, be involved and boost the Bobcats on Homecoming Day.

Also if the team is given as much support as last year we should do just as well." Dawson, a first year recruit

from Omaha stated, "I expect a winning season. I watched Peru in the Nationals last year and I was impressed. Since this is my first year in college wrestling, I will try to compete on the college level. Before my college career is over, I hope to place in the nationals."

China paintings, melodramas, rocket launchings, antiques All that is just part of the Peru Bicentennial Fair scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 1, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. This Saturday, Peru will resemble an old-time market with some 40 shops and exhibits.

This free fair will display the work of local craftsmen and int!oduce the community to muque craft techniques.

Among the exhibitors will be four local artists, including Dr. Leland Sherwood and Paul Fell of· Peru State College. The college will also be represented by a melodrama written by Emily Rosewell and performed by college students. The SGA ancl. the Pedagogian will have an old time photograph exhibit. There you can have your picture taken in different period attire.

The "market" will allow shoppers to browse among displays of needlework or

receive hunting and fishing tips from Dutch Henry, Peru's wildlife expert. If you are aeronautically inclined you might want to visit the Cub Scout rocket launch.

This festival is, of course, part of the massive national bicentennial · party. It is organized on the local level by a group of people sanctioned by the Peru bicentennial committee. After Peru was named ' an official bicentennial community last year, plans were made for commemorative , events such as this market festival and the box suppersquare dance held earlier this year. According to Bob Lewellen, a member of the fair committee, any money taken in during the fair will be presented to the Bicentennial Committee for some memorial, possibly a Korean ancl. Vietnam War veteran's memorial at the cemetery.

70 alUDlS COIIle to coffee for H.C.

More than 70 people attended the alumni coffee Saturday morning in the lounge of the student center. It was sponsored by the faculty women who served coffee and doughnuts to the visiting alumni.

Joe Masopust, president of the Peru Achievement foundation, Dr. Douglas Pearson, PSC president, and William Snyder unveiled a plaque honoring alumni who have helped the college.

Alumni at the coffee noted changes on campus. Harold Johnson, grad of 1925, remarked on the improvements to the library and the "new" fine arts building. Jim Schultz and Sam Smith graduated in 59. They were interested in

campus activities and organizations. They said the campus hadn't really changed much in the time they'd been gone but downtown Peru had improved considerably.

Clay Coy, Coeur d'Alane; Ida., and Darrell Railsback, Phillipps, Texas with their wives were both attending their first homecoming in many years. Coy retired last year from his post as superintendent of schools. He graduated in '31. Railsback, a 1935 grad, is a chemical engineer for the Phillips petrolewn company. Both said they were enjoying the festivities and regretted that the distance and their work had kept them away so long.

McKibbin to teach Industrial Arts

The Industrial Arts department has a new man on its staff. He is Michael E. McKibbin, a Wisconsin native. He will teach industrial crafts, handcrafts, advanced woodworking technology and two classes of woodworking technology.

Born in West Allis, Wis., the oldest of seven children, McKibbin graduated from Nathan Hale High School in 1967. He graduated from Marquette University_ in 1971 with a B.A. in Political Science, and in 1974, graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Stout with an M.S. in Industrial

"I like Peru it is friendly and I like the student orientation. And the equipment in the IA shop is above what I expected," he said.

Some of McKibbin's interests are woodworking (design and fabrication), ceramics, mechanical and body work on cars, reading and camping.

J!:very year millions of dollars are distributed to college student'" requiring financiai assistance. This money and the authorization for its use is· part of a federally funded work study program. According to PSC Financial Assistance Director Donald Miller this program "assists students whose families could· not provide •he funds when they would need to \!ontillue their education." Each October the public colleges acro:>s the nation apply to the fedc:al government for their i.'ldividual work study programs. Each college applies for the amount they expect to need for the coming year. These bids are reviewed by regional boards, <PSC and other area colleges submit their bids to a Kansas City based board)

where considerations of enrollment are made. The amount that each institution ultimately receives is primarily based upon the enrollment of the past year.

Interested students are encouraged to apply for this aid to the financial assistance department in March or April. If a student is eligible for aid, he is allowed to specify in what area he would like to work. "We would like to try to put everyone in their major interest area," Miller went on to indicate that this is not possible in all cases, such as late applications. If the students' preference is unlikely, a substituion is made. After the assignments have been processed the students and their supervisors adjust the work hours around class and other activities.

This year PSC employs about 100 students under this program in varying capacities. Some of the students assist professors in their own major field. Others serve as resident assistants or desk monitors in the dormitories Students are also employed in the library on the maintenance staff. The beneficiary of this work study program is a two-fold one. Not only does it allow the students to be somewhat self supporting in a town where the employment opportunities are limited. But it also allows them to render an equally important service to the college at a relatively inexpensive cost.

Eckerts first show is big success at PSC

By Karen Runkles

Painting Old Peru was a truly believable set of one-act plays. Minnie Field, the first play and the only one of the four which was not a comedy, was concerned with a group of five , country men and their reactions to Minnie Field's death. J. Hartson Billings as Tip. Field, husband to the late Minnie, incited an air of hostility from the audience with his convincing portrayal of a callous man, unmoved except by his own inconvenience over his wife's death.

Tom Whitney, Tom Ballue, Kevin Knoll and Kevin Casey, the sympathetic mourners of Minnie Field, made their roles natural and therefore convincing.

The second one act, No More Wars But the Moon, was also well acted. Eileen Hegarty as Mrs. Lulu Lewis and Sue Dunlap as Mrs. Rosy James monopolized much of the conversation with their true-tolife rendition of two of the more vicious gossipy women. Mrs. Satterwaite, played by Marilyn Thompson, alternated between adding to the tearing down of character of the absent club member and trying to restore order to the meeting. Lisa Turben was a delightful Miss Willie O'Brien, with a tongue as sharp as her quilting needle. Add to this Mrs. Tansey, a poetical would-be peacemaker of the world, played by Kim Tudor, and the punctuation of the relatively silent Martha Martin's occasional "righty!" Cher only contribution to the conversation) and you have an entertaining comic play that presents very real characters. Madge, the third of the oneacts, was perhaps the most humorous. Pert Harms was the

typical old country farmer proud of his mare and prepared to be proud of her colt. Fred Miner gave comedy and alot of life to his characterization of Pratt Hinckle. He and Pert draw an amusing parallel between Pert's expectant mare, Madge, and Pratt's wife. Hecky Parsons, Rob McKercher, is totally country and acts as a moving device for the plot. Fate deals Pert a cruel blow when Hecky brings the news that Madge's colt tourned out to be a mule. But it turns out that the parallel between Pert and Pratt-'s stories doesn't end there because Pratt's last offspring bore no resemblance to Pratt.

The last one-act, Granny's Little Cherry Room, was made thoroughly enjoyable by the excellent performances of the players. Susan Hanna, played by Jean Cassidy, was the overworked mother of Lessie Sparks, played by Angie Stalder. Granny Painsberry; 'irritable grandmother and Kevin Hart as Orry Sparks, husband to Lessie, represented the beginning of a new way of life. Each of these characters was real, believable, natural and extremely well done. The characterization of Susan Hanna, was especially realistic.

Kevin Casey's guitar ·interludes between each of the plays were entertaining and talented.

The settings were realistic in the extreme. The first setting especially gave the impression that the audience had been removed from the auditorium and placed in the bluffs around Peru. The lighting lent reality to the scenes as much as the characters.

Overall, the production was a success. Well done, well produced and well acted.

He said he first noticed his hands getting hairy about midnight at Duffy's, from then on "it wush merely a smatter of stime." By one a.m. the change was complete. Next year, if he starts getting an uncontrollable urge to go to Duffy's the night before homecoming, he's going to take a girl with him so he'll have someone to swing through the oak trees with, he said.

This was a contest to see which man could drink a jug of water the fastest. Neither player finished his jug but Hall was judged the winner because he drank the most water.

The cheerleaders then lead a cheer of "Go Big Blue" while the PSC band played the Peru State fight song.

President Douglas Pearson then addressed the gathering. "I have confidence in the team, we will make hamburger out of Kearney and I'm sure we will do a good job."

Defensive captain Dave Young then led the crowd and players in two cheers of "Win, Win, Win." This was followed by a cheer of "Let's fight," which was lead by the cheerleaders.

Food service

By Jan Johnson Darrell Williams

of Broughton Food Service is now in his second year as head of this service at Peru State.

Before coming to PSC, he owned a restaurant in Iowa for one and a half years, has worked as a chef in a country club and chef of a cocktail bar in southern California.

When asked if any special meals would be prepared for the students this year as they were last year, Mr. Williams said they will be held twice a month and the Food Committee of the SCB would arrange the dates. and the details.

Williams graduated from Seaman High School in Topeka, Kans., and attended Riverside University and Southern California Baptist College in Riverside, Calif. His wife, Ann, is from southern California originally and the couple have four children-Sheryl, Tim, Mike and Tamela.

Williams said he enjoys being a part of the Broughton Food Service team. "Like any business, we have our ups and downs, but it is a pleasure working for them." He also stated, "I have been here at Peru State College for one year and three months, and during that time I have had some wonderful experiences and have met a lot of nice peoplestudents and faculty alike. The main problems I encounter are students trying to eat in the cafeteria without presenting a meal card to the cashier. This would be like eating in a large restaurant without paying cash. Another large problem is students taking food from the cafeteria. Anyone eating there should eat what they want but should not r.emove food from there for someone not on a meal plan. This type of activity will increase the overall food cost and eventually the cost to the boarder will be increased.

"Food committee meetings' date and time will be posted in the cafeteria and I urge anyone interested to attend them."

Learning Center Under Way

The Education building is the site of a service open to all · students who need help with their study habits. It is called the Teaching-Learning Center and is under the joint leadership of Dr. Clyde Barrett, Dr. Thomas Scherer, and Mr. Paul Kruse. The Center has received

a NETCHE grant but no figure

was stated.

Mr. Kruse works primarily with teachers in setting up new courses, curriculum design and providing audio-visual aids for the classroom.

Dr. Scherer works with the students in academic areas of need. He stated that the center offers mini courses in such areas as test taking, spelling, vocabulary building, note taking and underlining, reading improvement, reading speed and comprehension, concentration and subjects related to these throughout the semester. Students may register in the Business Office if they desire the course for credit, or with Dr. Schere for no credit.

October Deadline

Many of Nebraska's 1,000 women veterans who left service since February 1, 1955, may be eligible for a new special payment from the Veterans Administration.

To receive approximately $30 per month for each month they were in GI Bill training between June 1, 1966 and October 24, 1972, they must have been married at the time.

James C. Smith, director, VA Regional Office, Lincoln, explained that during that period women veterans who were married did not receive the increased allowance extended to male veterans who were married. He said a recent VA ruling made this eligibility retroactive to June l; 1966. Those who trained after October 24, 1972, have already been paid on the same basis as their male counterparts. Smith said women veterans can file claims for the money at the VA Regional Office at Lincoln, but there is a cutoff date of July 1, 1976. Claims cannot be accepted after date.

Proof of marriage while in training must be furnished in connection with the claim. The additional amount for nus bands cannot be paid to women who trained under the World War II and Korean conflict GI Bills.

Women veterans who proved to VA while they were in training that their husbands were permanently disabled and incapable of self-support have already been paid the additional amount, he said.

PSC Radio

According to Dr. Royal Eckert, there seems to be interest in the PSC radio station but little progress has been made because of a lack of time.

Dr. Eckert hopes to have the station opened by the end of this month. A course will be offered next semester in Radio and Television Announcing. Program for the station will include music one or two nights a week for half an hour, drama and skits, some to be performed live and some taped.

Bobcats to Chadron

Peru's football team may have a couple of things running in its favor when it meets Chadron Oct. 18, at Chadron State College. Chadron, which runs a pro offense may have trouble getting under way with seven of its starting players out of the lineup .with injuries. Among the injuries is Chadron's starting quarterback, out of competition with a separated shoulder. However, Sparky Anderson, Chadron's head football coach said that their second string quarterback, a senior, looks as though he'll do well enough to

pull the team through the game without any major problems.

Chadron will be playing against the Bobcat's defense which performed well enough fo hold the rank of 15th in the nation last year, and is performing equally well this year. The defense will probably give Chadron its share of worries. With 28 lettermen returning from last year, Chadron has the experience to give Peru a good football game, according to Coach Anderson. Coach Andersor, also added that Peru has "a heck of a good" football team this year.

The injured players are: Bob Shonka, pinched nerve; Mike Sieler, high blood pressure; Steve Wolpert, knee injury; Ray Woerlen, bruised kidney; Dave Werner, separated shoulder; Corky Duffield, bruised groin; Paul Mccane, knee injury. Woerlen is the only injured player who is expected to be ready to play this week at Chadron.

I Coach Joy said that with the number of players injured some players will have to play both efense and offense.

Chadron State has had an unusual and inconsistent year. Chadron is on a two game winning streak after defeating Colorado School of the Mines 1110, and Wayne State 3-0.

Their offense is centered mostly around their passing game. The main target for the Chadron quarterback is Duane Fritz, a 6'2", 210 pound, tight end. Fritz is said to be quick and fast. An outstanding running back for the Eagles is Bob Hudson.

Chadron will be using a splitsix type defense.

For those unable to attend the game, KTNC, the Falls City radio station, will broadcast the game live. The station is 1240 on your dial and the game will start at 2:30 p.m. central time

Bobcats fortun.ate this season

Coach Jerry Joy and the PSC Bobcats have been "fortunate" in regard to injuries this season.

Dale Patton, running back for Peru sustained a slight knee injury but returned to action last week against Kearney State. He had been out of action for about two weeks.

Ed Schmidt has been out six weeks with an ankle injury. It is not known at this time when he will be able to play, according to Coach Joy.

Ray Woerlen also returned to·

Young squad holds foes to small yardage on return

The PSC kickoff team which has allowed just 14.8 yards per kick return this season is a young team. Two juniors start on the kickoff team. One of these is Dave Werner from Falls City, in his second year on the kickoff team. He believes ·that "the team has improved" from last year. Rich Tynon is the second junior in his first year on the kickoff team. Tynon is from Peru. He said, "The kickoff team is better than last year's team."

Starting on this year's team ·are four sophomores. Mark Clark, a graduate of Springfield-Platteview High School, is a second year kickoff starter. The two main reasons for this year's improvement according t Clark are, "We have better coverage and a better kicker."

Jeff Pease is also a two year starter. He is a Fort Wayne, Ind., native and a graduate of Homestead High School. He feels that this year's improvement stems from "better coverage and fewer returns this year." The third sophomore in his second year on the kickoff team is Jeff Salberg. Like Clark he is a Springfield-Platteview graduate. Salberg felt that, "We have more speed than last year. The guys run down the field with more desire." Bob Shonka is a Columbus-Scotus graduate and the fourth sophomore on the kickoff team. This is Shonk's first year on the kickoff team and he said that "good

coverage all year" was the reason that the team has been so effective this year.

Rounding out Coach Jerry Joy's kickoff team are five freshmen. Rick Spears is from Madeira, a suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio. He has started all year on the kickoff team but was taken off of the team last week. Coach Joy explained, "Spears starts at offensive tackle and he was taken of the kickoff team to give him a rest."

Taking Spears' place on the kickoff team is Paul Windam, a graduate of M. C. Williams high school in Houston, Tex. He described the kickoff team members as " a bunch of headhunters." Ken Denning, "Colorado" is a freshman from Mullen High School in Denver. He and another first year player, Jeff Tudor, from Charles City, Ia., felt that the team has improved all year. This year's kicker for PSC is Jerry Culler from Deshler. Culler said "There has been good coverage all year." According to Coach Joy, Culler has averaged 47 .8 yards per kickoff t!lis year.

Glenn Dawson, a first year recruit from Omaha Central said, "We have had good coverage and with the good kicker that we have, we are able to get downfield."

Coach Joy said that the kickoff team has shown "a lot of improvement" since the start of the season.

action in the Kearney State game. He suffered a bruised kidney in the Benedictine College game.

Steve Wolpert is the most seriously injured player on the Bobcat squad. He will be out for two weeks after suffering a knee injury in the Benedictine game.

Coach Joy commented that "we have been fortunate not to have too many injuries so far this season."

How far can young ladies go these days? I mean in their sporting liberation? Will we soon see the day when some statuesque gal, unafraid of toplessness, will be the undisputed heavyweight champ of the world?

The answer, I'm sorry to say, is an unqualified "probably not." I'm afraid that we girls will just have to settle for becoming President, reaching the moon and joining the YMCA. We simply won't be able to reach the very top of any sport in which we're integrated with boys. Forget what your mom told you about the great Babe Didrikson Zaharias, who so often held her own with men. Unless you can drive a golf ball two hundred yards, you won't be another Babe, who was one of the sporting marvels of the twentieth century.

It is true that as women, we are biologically superior to men: we live longer and can stand more pain. Unfortunately, however, there doesn't happen to be a sport in which longevity and suffering are the keys to the championship. There are no year-old linebackers or pamloving pitchers. In almost every sport, one of the keys to the championship is simple strength.

"There's just no way a female champion can compete against a male," Al Silvermen, editor of Sport, once said. "It's a matter of muscularity. Women have a chance to beat men only in a sport that calls for far more grace than strength-figure skating, for instance."

Is this the opinion of just another male chavinist?

In a way it is because muscle mass for muscle mass, there is no physiological differences between males and females. Potmd for pound, their muscles can be developed to the same degree of proficency. Men grow bigger because male hormones increase the size of the body, but the tissues for both sexes are still the same. So if a man and a woman were equal in size, she could develop as well as he could. Most women, of course, don't try for muscular physiques because they don't want to become freaks. So, the boys start lifting weights early in life while the girls keep feminity in mind. In other words, it's a social and emotional limitation that women face in sports, not a physical one. American who are big try to seem petite;

they're definitely not interested in lifting weights. In Russia the athletes don't care about feminity and you should see the muscles on some of those girls!!!

If a woman were six feet tall, ' broadly built and lifted weights for an hour each day, she conceivably could become a professional fullback, but only coaches would send her flowers. Biology still isn't comfort to a woman because men do develop so well.

Although American men and women don't compete against each other in any sport except running for taxis, there are, of course, a few noteworthy exceptions to this rule of male superiority. But they are so exceptional they shouldn't inspire women to dream of someday endorsing cereals.

The rule is basically ·true: tmless a girl can get a muscle transplant, she CAN'T .run as fast or last as long as a man. There are however, one or two ways to compete with our masculine masters, both in new sports and established ones. We just have to use our heads, another spot where men often have more muscle than women.

For example, one sport where gals have a chance. to be bit as good as a boy is place kick holding in football. Now I understand that most girls haven't had the dream of kneeling in the dirt before a man, but it is a beginning.

Another place in sports a girl surely can a man 1s as coxswain of a racmg crew, the person who sits in the stern of the shell and suggests that the rowers keep rowing by shouting "Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! " All you need is a big mouth. ,, Stroke! Strokel/s

All you need is a big mouth.

If for some reason a girl wou'id like to exercise more than her mouth or just her index finger, she should look again at golf.

And don't challenge him to play tennis; play Ping-Pong. Don't try him at horseshoes; pitch pennies. Nullify his extra strength by finding sports that use as little of the body as possible. For instance lowerforearm events like darts and jacks.

No matter what you girls select at least you have the comfdrt of knowing that it is no longer socially unacceptable for a girl to beat a boy!!! (It's just very difficult if he's over ten!!!)

Art Mural "The Makers" on display

Thursday night the finishing touches were added to the mural in the Fine Arts Building which was designed and created by artist Paul Fell and executed by Mr. Fell and student assistants enrolled in Art 319.

Begun three weeks ago, the dramatic mural is part of the Midplains Culture Program which has enabled PSC to enlarge its art program. It is the first of a number of murals which Mr. Fell hopes to execute for PSC, both indoors and eventually outside.

Mr. Fell chose the medium of the mural not only because it brings art to the public, but because it gives PSC something which is totally unique.

Mural painting is the branch of art concerned with the enrichment of the walls and ceilings of buildings. The mural constitutes more than mere decorative embellishment, however. The mural may record the past, glorify the present, or symbolize aspirations of the future.

The mural also helps render a building psychologically suitable to its uses; it may serve to educate, remind, uplift, entertain or inspire. Since the muralist is concerned with the lasting values of his work, he does not depict trivial or passing events. Permanence and suitability to architectural surroundings are important factors.

Prehistoric man painted on the walls of caves. The ancient Egyptians and Greeks painted murals, and their work has been influential in forming Western mural styles. In the twenties, mural painting underwent a revival in Mexico, and the work done there has exerted a great influence on American muralists. The University of Mexico has executed dozens of huge murals.

Mr. Fell's first task was to decide on a theme. The theme of the painting is "The Makers," and the figures portray the artist, the music-maker, and the word-maker, or orator or actor. The bald heads and the faces are not really descriptive of individuals, but represent "every-man" of universal appeal.

The hands are over-sized because the emphasis of the painting is on creativity. It was not necessary to place objects in the hands since the position and attitude of the hands suggest what they are doing. In contrast to the robes which are rather subdued, the faces and hands are fairly detailed, and the robes are arranged simply so as not to fight for attention.

brings to the painting his own insights, feelings, and imagination; thus he is free to react and interpret in his own way.

People may appreciate the painting for reasons of their own, says Mr. Fell, without an "explanation." The painting stimulates an interest which makes viewers think about it and want to return.

Mr. Fell says he was not concerned with the mechnics involved with hanging the painting. His job was to create the painting, and he left the problem of hanging it to the maintenance department, who had both the know-how and the equipment. He feels that these men did the job quickly and efficiently, particularly at a time when they were concerned with special constructions for Homecoming.

Dr. Pearson has taken great interest in this project from the beginning, offering encouragement and visiting the art department to observe progress on the painting. He personally signed the work order which expedited the mounting of the painting.

The painting was carried out under the master-apprentice principle, as were the larger paintings of the old masters. It was Mr. Fell's intent that the students would thereby learn methods and techniques which they could later apply to their own murals. (Each student will execute an individual 4' x 8' mural later in the semester.)

It was rather overwhelming to walk into class and be told, "We're going to do a 16' painting." But as Mr. Fell laid out the plans and explained step-bystep what would happen, students began to grow in confidence, and there was a great deal of enthusiasm. Not only was it a learning experience, but those involved took a certain pride in the result.

In his preliminary studies Mr. Fell worked with composition and settled on three figures. When satisfied with the composition he painted a color study of the planned mural. The color study is a complete 18" x 36"

painting on canvas, in direct proportions to the mural, which served as a guide to the steps taken on the larger painting. he painted a color study of the planned mural. The color study is a complete 18" x 36" painting on canvas, in direct proportions to the mural, which served as a guide to the steps taken on the larger painting.

The arrangement of the robes and the shapes behind the figures lead the eye upward through the picture plane. In addition, these circular background forms provide stops along the way to rest the eye. Although they are essentially employed as design elements, some people have interpreted these forms as spotlights, which is certainly possible.

The theme Mr. Fell has given to the work is not meant to be restrictive but enlarging. This means that each individual

The mural, consisting of four 4' x 8' masonite panels, is 8' wide and 16' tall. The masonite was sanded and primed to make it a suitable background for the painting. Graph lines of 1-inch squares were made on a tracing of the color study, and lines were marked off at six-inch intervals on the masoni te panels. In this way students enlarged and transferred Mr. Fell's design in scale with the original. The panels were carried downstairs and lined up on the floor to make sure that all lines registered. This process was repeated from time to time

Phaeton: Earth'g /ogf gigfer?

Most people would call the men in the white coats and carrying butterfly nets if I mentioned the possibility of a sister planet for Earth. In fact, I can hear your laughter and jokes now. However, the fact is that I'm telling the truth.

, A new scientific theory recently revealed in the "National Enquirer" states that Earth did have a sister planet destroyed by a thermonuclear explosion millions of years ago.

Phaeton was the name given to this planet in the 1950's by Russian scientists, and was named after a Greek god who crashed to Earth in a fiery chariot. The between Mars and Jupiter, what we now call the Asteroid Belt, once was the orbit of this planet. Today, this same area is nothing but iJ ring of debris. The asteroids could very well be the remains of a planet.

Where did this idea come from?

I am inclined to believe von Daniken's ideas. Who is to say that we are the only human race in the universe?? No one knows. We may just be another experimental race God created. If we fail, we can be destroyed as easily as other, previous races have or might have been.

At this time of the year, the trees are busy changing colors in preparation for the changing seasons. A drive through Peru and its countryside will provide you with a breath-taking panorama of various trees with bright colors to admire.

Even though the leaves are an enjoyable sight, they are sober reminders of our mortality. They remind us that there is a time to be born, to live and to die. As the leaves lose colors, dry up and fall, they remind us that we too will lose our youth, fade with age and pass away.

The lite cycle of a single leaf can be likened to the life span of a human. Even though the length of life is different for both subjects, several similarities can be seen:

4. Maturity - The mature leaf welcomes the cool weather as a respite from the summer onslaught and prepares to change his colors for the autumn season. The young man acc;j,ts his manhood as a sign of maturity and gains wisdom from his adolescent experiences.

5. Death - The aged leaf, after having turned yellow and been dried out, responds to the wind's death call and drifts down to where it originated-Mother Earth. The old man loses his vitality, grows weak and dies. He is then burled in the ground with the dead leaves to share in the final destiny.

There is a time to be born, a time to live and a time to die. We cannot do anything about birth and death. We can't postpone them or forget about them. But, we can do something about our time to live. You can be what you want to be and can do things the way you want them to be. You can live a full, rich life or a dull, bare life. It is up to you. Be alive and full of life!!!

A Poem

By Kathy Hamann

I came across a short poem which_

I am passing along. It's thesis is that if a person goes through life with no enemies, -he hasn't amounted to much. All one has to do to earn a few enemies is to work harder and for longer hours than some of his associates. The author is anonymous but it expresses an interesting !hought:

No enemies

"He hath no enemies," you say?

My friend, your boast is poor.

He who hath mingled in the fray Of duty, that the brave endure, Must have made foes. If he has none

He hath hit no traitor on the hip;

He hath cast no cup from perjured

lip;

-He hath never turned a wrong to right.

He hath been a coward in the fight. This holds true if you are a coach, secretary of an association or college, businessman or a student in school. For the sake of being popular, students may. sometimes follow the wrong leaders. They would rather be "one of the gang" than stand up for what they know in their hearts to be right. That is a high price to pay for popularity. It's good to be with the "in" crowd, provided the "in" crowd travels in the right direction.

Russian scientists Aleksander Kazantsev and Evgeni Krinov have been studying glass-like particles called tektites (a combination - of metals fused together by intense heat-as from an explosion-into glassy solids about the size of walnuts) that fell to Earth from outer space.

Author Erich von Daniken has made the assumption that astronauts visited the Earth millions of years ago and states his proof in his books "Chariots of the Gods?" and "In Search of Ancient Astronauts." This proof consists of phenomenal feats of architecture and strange symbols literally burned into the ground that no ordinary human could accomplish.

For -example, along the coast of Peru in South America, a gigantic trident is engraved in a solid rock cliff. Not far from there, as you go inland, are some "roads" that, from the ground, seem to go nowhere.

From the air, it resembles a huge animal that quite possibly could have been a landing field for ancient space ships. No one knows how either was formed.

Scientists call Phaeton a sister planet of Earth for two reasons: her atmosphere was similar to ours, and her topography (oceans and mountains, for example) also resembled ours. Some sort of civilization lived here also. The war that destroyed it could have been caused by differing factions of the civilization. When the planet blew up, particles were thrown to Earth in an arc from Australia and the Philippines through the Soviet Union to Czechoslovakia, and all arrived at one time-the result of a single, massive explosion. It is these particles, the that the scientists are now studying. They agree on one thing: the destruction of the planet was total and therefore the civilization disappeared completely. Since these humanoids had knowledge of thermonuclear power, It is feasible they also were experienced space travelers. Some of these astronauts may have been away from home when the planet blew up, and since they had no home to return to, they may have searched for the next best thing: Earth. Hence, von Daniken's ancient astronauts startling primitive Earthmen who thought the gods were descending.

I also think the Phaeton theory is plausible. There are far too many objects on Earth that ordinary man could not possibly have created. For instance, the statues on Easter Island in the Pacific weigh hundreds of tons and they are standing at least 30-40 feet high. Primitive man did not have the technology or equipment necessary to hoist these huge objects to an upright position. Who could have created the examples I mention found in Peru??? Hollywood glorifies the building of the pyramids. This is another farce as far as I'm concerned. The blocks used in their construction also weighed tons, and the Egyptians also didn't have the equipment necessary to lift these blocks to fantastic heights. The Egyptians may have been advanced for their day, but this advanced they weren't!!

Ancient astronauts ·could very easily have been here. When you stop to think about it, the idea's not so farfetched.

No honor code at Peru 'State?

By Karen Runkles

The Johns Hopkins University of Baltimore, Maryland has done away with its honor code.

Excessive cheating and plagerism lead to the downfall of the system.

There is no need for PSC to concern itself with the possibility of having to abolish its honor code, for the simple reason that it has never had one.

Dr. Neal Gomon, formerly president of PSC, said_ that there has been no established code since 1951. Individual instructors used their own honor system as they saw fit, said Dr. Gomon.

Miss Nelly McAuley, a graduate of PSC, said as far as she knows, Peru State has never had an honor code.

SCB Minutes

The Student Center Board held its regular meeting on Monday, October 13 in the West Dining Room. President Becky Niday called the meeting to order at 5:20 p.m. Mr. Letts and 18 members were present. Minutes of the September 29 meeting were approved.

Bills presented were from Newberry's and Gibsons's for supplies needed for the float, the greehhouse for the Homecoming Queen's flowers (a bouquet instead of a basket of fresh flowers as was previously decided upon), and W.A.A. for six mums for the attendants and queen. It was moved and seconded to pay the bills and the motion carried.

Becky thanked all those who helped with the float for Homecoming. She was then applauded for her fine work in arranging for the dance and selecting a good band. After a lengthy discussion, she decided to resign next week as president due to lack of cooperation from other Board members with work needed to be done.

Committee reports were then given. The Social committee is to help at the concert at Neal Hall featuring Michael Johnson · at 8:00 October 14. The Cultural committee reported a good turn-out for the movie "The Thief Who Came To Dinner" held October -12. The Food Complaints committee suggested that Mr. Darrell Williams, head 9f the food service, attend a meeting of SCB, possibly next week.

Publicity reported that posters for both the movie mentioned and concert were up. Hospitality reported that elections for Homecoming Queen were held last week and Trena O'Banion was selected queen. They are to send out thank-yous to all those who donated items for the float. Special Projects could possibly include keeping the calendar outside the cafeteria up to date. Public Relations will continue to print the minutes in the Ped. Calendar committee has everything happening in the near future posted.

Old business included turning any outstanding money and raffle tickets in to Kelly Evers no later than Wednesday, October 15.

New business brought up by Scott McKercher included a constitution change of Article III, section 4, about the election and-or term of ·SGA representatives to SCB. The Board will vote next week on whether to delete or alter the last two lines which state that the term of these members be one academic year and may be extended upon the recommendation of the SCB President. It was brought up that the fore-mentioned members may not be in SGA from one year to the next. The meeting was adjourned at 5:40.

The Concerned Black Students {CBS) held their third organized meeting Thursday in the fine arts building. Their has been some controversy over the subject of the black house. President Pearson would like to be submitted a letter in writing on the function and goals of the black house. So he can explain to federal agencies and organizations on campus why there is a black house. The C.B.S. officer made a decision to except the house offer by the president. The committee will be submitting the president a list of black literature books, that will be placed into the school library. The officer committee reread their constitution, and changed the price in dues from one dollar to three dollars a semester. Dues will be used to perform a talent show and in the designing of cars in their parade.

C.B.S. will be sponsoring a black homecoming, and will be inviting other schools to come, such as Maryville, Tarkio, Midland, U.N.0. and Dome College. The C,B.S. will be submitting their constitution to the S.G.A. to see how much money they will receive. All meetings are open to all faculty members as written in the constitution.

Carrying A Complete Jewelry

A Peru State College student wonders why her car has had the air let out of the tires, the mirror broken and the antenna torn off - all within two weeks.

Becky Niday, who lives at the Complex, said that other cars may have been vandalized also, but her car seems to be the main target.

"I don't think I've done anything to deserve this but I'd like to find out who they are,"

Miss Niday said. The vandalism had occurred several different times, once when the car was parked in the visitors parking lot in front of the Complex, she said.

Miss Niday said that initially she reported the incident to Brian Gray, a Peru city policeman, who in turn informed the campus security force. Noting the continuing vandalism to her car Miss Niday said, "I don't think campus security does anything."

Miss Niday also took her complaint to Dr. Douglas Pearson and George Wendell. Wendell was until last Friday, in charge of security matters on campus.

It's

Wendell said that in response to Miss Niday's complaints surveillance in the area where she parks had been increased. He added, however, that a security force of two officers can not be expected to see everything that goes on at night around campus.

Dr. Guy Rosenberg has taken over security responsibilities from Wendell. Rosenberg said that some of the confusion in the case was because of the transition from Wendell to himself. However he agreed with Wendell that officers can't be everywhere on campus at one time. He stated that it was basically a matter of chance whether a vandal would be apprehended. He also said that people who are knowledgeable don't want to get involved.

Nine hundred million years ago Nebraska consisted of mountains and sea. The Nemaha Range of mountains extended from Omaha to Seneca, Kans., before the Rocky Mountains were ever formed.

Sue Fitzgerald honored by SGA

The marching band is right with Peru. So are The Front Page and the Pedagogian-and most recently Irene Adams and Sue Fitzgerald. These people and organizations have distinguished themselves by service to the college or community for this and the SGA has made public commendation by presenting them with the "What's Right With Peru" award.

According to the minutes of the Oct. 22, 1974 meeting the award "would be designed to ackowledge persons and organizations that accomplish good for PSC". The award began as a part of the agenda for each month but according to SGA president, Ruth Gottula a change was made earlier this year " this year we give it whenever we deem it appropriate. A month may go by and we may feel there has been nothing happening to deserve it. The students felt by keeping it a monthly thing it lost some of its' value.

recognized. All other nominees for the award are sent letters thanking them for their ser-

·vices. Nominations are presented periodically by the senators and if sufficient interest is shown the Associatfon will vote on the nominees and the highest vote getter will receive the commendation.

Occasionally, as was the case recently, the voting results in a tie. Both Irene Adams and Sue Fitzgerald received the "What's Right With Peru" award. Mrs. Adams is an attendent at the Mini-Mart and was nominated for her thoughtful and conscientious service to the college students and the community. Mrs. Fitzgerald, who until recently worked for the college in various capacities was recommended for her unselfish contributions to the college. In light of recent conflicts between Mrs. Fitzgerald and the "administration" the question of motive for her nomination arose, however both Terry Pardeck, an SGA sponsor, and Miss Gottula concurred that the nomination was purely a tribute to her contributions to PSC. With regard to the possible undercurrents to the nomination of Mrs. Fitzgerald, Miss Gottula said the nomination was "very serious, it wasn't in retaliation". Pardeck, who was also at the meeting when the nomination took place said "I didn't think anything of it at the time and still don't".

V olleyhall action at Peru State

The Thirtieth Annual Peru State Volleyball Tournament will be held Oct. 20, 21 and 22 at the Peru State College gymnasium. Action starts at 5: 30 p.m. each evening with Monday and Tuesday matches featuring preliminary rounds and the championship matches scheduled for Wednesday night.

Steinauer was the fir&t tournament winner in 1946. Verdon, or Dawson-Verdon, has won the tournament five times during the 30 year history of the event, while Burr, Murdock and Douglas have won the first place trophy four times.

Douglas is currently spiking for their fifth straight championship (71, 72, 73, 74) which would break a tie with the four year reign by Burr (52, 53, 54, 55).

Mural

FROM PAGE ONE to observe progress on the work and to make minor corrections and, adjustments. •

The acrylic, or polymer, paint was applied in a way that builds up a rich surface, through a series of transparent glazes and a process called scumbling. Each layer of paint adds to the surface, yet never covers or blocks out what is beneath it, so that what seems to be one color can be seen to contain many colors. ·

The robes which appear purple, for example, have a rich, glowing effect because of the preserving of several layers of paint. The work was completed by the addition of several coats of matte varnish, which brings out the rich colors and cuts down on glare.

Mr. Fell says that initially he was not sure how long the project would take, but that it developed more rapidly than was first thought. Students involved were expected to put in a certain number of hours each week.

As the project caught on _and gained momentum, students became more enthusiastic, and many were putting in hours of their own time above what was required. Mr. Fell said he remarked it was too bad the mural wouldn't be finished in time for Homecoming, and several students said, "Why not?"

An added bonus of the mural project was the teamwork involved. Since art is ordinarily an individual pursuit, art students may not experience the "team spirit" of some other departments and organizations. The mural, however, was a group project, and cooperation was necessary. The group shared problems, offered one another criticisms and suggestions, and shared a common feeling of accomplishment and pride when the work was finished.

Students participating in the project were Ray Boeche, Ray Christie, John Coop, Kelly Evers, Patricia Finley, Sharon Martin, Mike Little, Gary Staples and Tom Thomas.

1867 social conduct passe'?

By Stephen Chatelain

Peru State College wears its 108 years better than many institutions that are much younger but even at Peru the social conduct "fashions" of 1867 are passe'.

It is difficult to imagine today's college students abiding by some of the ridiculous rules of order that were used over 100 years ago. For instance, the moral innocence of the student was protected by the following restriction upon their behaviour, " the students are forbidden to lounge about stores or saloons " Also the co-ed socializing was severely hindered. by this piece of legislation. "No young man shall come within ten feet of a young lady when on the street or campus. When seeing a friend hone in the evening he may take one side of the road and she the other." And what would Clarence Darrow think of the requirement for all students to attend worship on the Sabbath.

In light of the conditions that the college and Nebraska were in at the time makes these rules easier to understand. First of all the college.was conceived in a religious setting. It was initially a Methodist schooi and tradition did not allow the break from religious .J.o sec1)lar to be complete.

Secondly, the state of Nebraska was primarily rural, lacking the sophistication that an urban culture brings. In fact a student of a century ago would be as out of place in our school as we would be in his.

Our college of 1867 was devoted, just as it is now, to insuring that the student received an education. Education then was structured around a four-walled classroom but to its credit we can be thankful that education's classroom has expanded. ·

Chadron Takes Homecoming

Battle • 1n Tough Match-up

Peru State College fell in defeat to Chadron State College Saturday afternoon 10-6.

Chadron won the toss of the coin and chose to receive the kickoff. The Eagles could not move the ball in three downs and were forced to punt. The ball slipped off the side of the Chadron punter's foot and Peru had the ball on the 47-yard line.

Peru was stopped three times for no gain. Chadron took over after a Jeff Pease punt at the seven-yard line. The first quarter was a defensive game with both teams never getting past the 40-yard line.

Peru opened the second quarter with the ball on Chadron's 49 yard line. The first play, a bad snap from the center, caused a fumble, but Peru came up with the ball. A running play netted no gain. On third down and ten Bob Rosenbeck passed to Gary Rosenbeck for 13 yards. Peru tried a field goal which was wide to the right. Chadron took over the ball at the 20. Chadron started a scoring drive at this point. The first play from

scrimmage, Dan Svila broke through the line and gained 30 yards. Two running plays put Chadron on Peru's 35 yard line. The next play Chadron was penalized 15 yards. Svila gained five yards on the next play. On second and five a Chadron pass fell short. Then Kevin Emanuel broke for 33 yards. The ball was spotted at the 12 yard line. Three more running plays netted Chadron State the first score of the game. The extra point was good. With 10:09 left in the second quarter Chadron State 7, Peru State o.

The rest of the seeond quarter Chadron State made mistakes but Peru failed to capitalize on them.

The second half opened with Chadron State kicking off to Peru. Peru could not move the ball and punted. Chadron's series was the same.. This happened twice in a row for both teams. Finally Bob Lacey kicked a 28-yard field goal. With 6:29 left in the third quarter, Chadron State 10, Peru 0.

Peru took over the ball at the 20 yard line but failed to move and punted. Chadron had good field position but a penalty. and good defense forced Chadron to punt. Peru took over the ball at the 20-yard line. Peru tried two running plays and gained little yardage. On third and 8, Bob Rosenbeck passed to Arlo Wusk for a 20-yard gain. The next play Rosenbeck threw to Curtis Tutson for a 28-yard gain. A running play gained one yard. The following play Rosenbeck hit Dick Ramsey for a 14-yard gain. Glenn Dawson hit up the middle for a yard. Then Rosenbeck threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to Curtis Tutson. The extra point failed. This completed the scoring with Chadron State 10, Peru State 6.

The fourth quarter was mistake prone. Peru tried a comeback but failed. Dale Patton kicked a 48-yard field goal which was called back because of a penalty. Peru had opportunities to score but could not generate an offense.

Intramural FB

The intramural games got under way Tuesday, October 14, with the two top ranked teams, the Redskins and the Raiders, meeting on the field.

The Redskins, ranked in first place, took the lead from the beginning of the game, and held it. The Raiders defense, scored two safeties, cutting the Redskins to an eight point lead at the end of the first half with a score of 12-4.

The second half progressed with both teams making a touchdown, running the final score of the game up to 18-11 in the Redskins' favor.

Randy Dunlap, a player for the Raiders, suffered a broken wrist in the competition.

The second game of the day, starting at 4:00, brought the Jets and the Chiefs together on the field.

The first half of the game ran with both teams making a touchdown. The Jets picked up two extra points, bringing the first half to a close with a score of 8-6, and the Jets in the lead. The second half, ended abruptly after seven minutes when two players were thrown

field position and has gotten us out of a few holes. He is also one of the better punt snappers on the team."

Coach Joy a1so commented on Pease' punting average this year. "Jeff bas averaged 34.8 yards per punt. That figure is excellent considering that be bas bad a few punts blocked, which really bring$ down his average."

Coach Erv Pitts who is Pease' punting coach said, ••Jeff has done a fine job. He bas been consistent and the thing that bas hurt his average bas been a few blocked punts. I have been more than pl.eased this year. He has shown a great deal of. poise and my confidence in him builds everytime he punts."

Coach Pitts also bad this to say about Pease' value to the team. "Jeff bas gotten us good

While playing as punter this year, Pease also has seen some action at the linebacker position. This position is not unfamiliar to him because he played at that position in high school. His versatility does not end there because Pease also played as fullback, punter, and offensive guard while at Fort Wayne. Last year Pease was the starting center for punt snaps for the Bobcats. A physical education major, Pease plans to go into coaching and teaching when his college days are over. As for the rest of this season, he had this to say. "We have four tough games left and I would like to win all four and do a good job."

Coach Marty Dwine might have summed up best what Jeff Pease means to the coaching staff and the Bobcat football team with this comment. "Jeff Pease does whatever we have asked him to do."

PSC Volleyball has freshmen strength

Peru State Bobkittem; feel

Tarkio has been their toughest opponent yet. Nancy Sepp, Arlington Heights, Ill., believes the team is young and needs work on playing together.

Sepp played volleyball four years in high school and bas played two years in college competition. She won "female athlete of the year" award in high school and is playing on a volleyball scholarship. Ms. Sepp is a spiker on the volleyball team.

Julie Hartman of Douglas is also one of the starting six for Peru. This is her first year playing college ball but she played four years in high school. She was awarded the "most valuable player" award her senior year. Ms. Hartman was also chosen for the All Star team last year during Peru State's Volleyball Tournament. She enjoys playing college ball but feels that the competition was tougher in high school. Ms. Hartman is a setter for the Bobkittens

Loma Pollman from Wymore prefers to play on the home court. Ms. Pollman is also a freshman and has played four years in high school. She was awarded second team all conference and went on to state two years during her high school playing. She feels that the team needs work but that no team is perfect. Ms. Pollman is a spiker on the team.

State Tournament last year. Ms. Hartman feels that it was harder playing in high school. She a1so feels that the team is young but that it is improving.

Ms. Hartman works on her serving with the group and had no reason for the fact that she was the top scorer. She has a side arm serve that has achieved 62 points for Boblrltteos after nine games.

Ms. Hartman also feels that the offense and the defense are balanced out. She is a spiker for the team as well as the top scorer.

In the third game Peru State played Nebraska Wesleyan. Peru dominated the first set with Julie Hartman leading the scoring with five points, she was also high server for the game with eight points. In the second set Peru was behind by the score of.14-11, they then scored five straight points to win. Scores for the two sets were 15-3 and HH4. Other scoring for Peru was Janet Stanley and Lama Pollman each with six, Roxanne· Dalton and Pam Petters both had four, Jean Hartman made two, Deb School had one. Pat Nememan led N. W.

In some years, it seemed as

Peru State College now is offering a martial arts club. The club is open to men, women, faculty and people of the community. The types of self defense that will be taught are Judo Tae Kowndo, Kung Fu and Korean Ka.rate.

Mary Hoemann, wife of College Admission Director Gary Hoemann, will show her paintings November 1. Mrs. Hoemann was an art teacher in Nebraska City before moving to Peru.

Brian Mills originated the idea. The practices will be held in the gym with the school providing the mats. Dummy bags are still needed. Mills will be one of the instructors along with Stan Taylor. Mills has held a green belt for three years. He plans to work toward a black belt. He was second in Nebraska as a heavyweight green belt last year at the Tae Kown do tournament at U.N.O.

On some campuses the rebirth of school spirit has been marked by the return of childish school rivalry. Mascot stealing and other pranks are back in style. At games the band forms into the shape of a dove and plays "He ain't heavy, he's my brother." Ten minutes later a football team swarms on the field and starts tearing each other apart. Baton twirlers in school colors freeze their bottoms in near-zero weather for the dubious honor of being gawked at by male spectators, and contests reeking with sexism dominate homecoming festivities. That's the role women had in the fifties-the all-American cheerleader with an l.Q. that matched her bra

But the minute we start referring to the fifties as "the good old days/' watch out. They weren't all that we're cracking them up to be. Sure, it was a time of innocence and idealism. But many kids then also lived in a fantasy land in which young people were bound by strict male-female roles and complacent attitudes. Sock hops and phone-booth stuffing are amusing diversions, but they're not such a great way of life.

In the Early sixties we woke up and were forced to face the traumas of the "real world."

Missile crises, assassinations, race riots, wars, and poverty touched .our lives directly, even if we didn't understand them. Our naivete died, but I think 'something better was born. Our growing awareness and concern were worth a thousand times more than the superfic'ial school spirit we lost. Bitterly fought pol itica I contests, demonstrations, strikes-these were the signs of our discontent. I'm not glorifying rebellion, but I think that protesting is a lot healthier than playing make believe in a world of saddle shoes and hula hoops.

Pearsons,HostTown and Gown

President and Mrs. Douglas Pearson entertained guests from Nebraska City at the Town - Gown dinner Tuesday. After dinner, students took the group on a tour of the campus. The guests were encouraged to ask questions of their student guides. The Swing Choir and Beaver Junction provided entertainment in the fine arts building after the tour.

The Town - Gown dinners are held bi-weekly. Names of persons to be invited are submitted by the PSC President's Advisory Council. Groups from nearby towns are invited to the dinners. The towns are rotated alphabetically.

"The purpose of the dinners," said Mrs. Pearson, "is to improve public relations for the college by bringing people to the campus who should know more about us. People might support the college better if they knew more about it. Most of tbe

people who come either have never seen the college or haven't been here for 20 or so years." The reason for the name Town - Gown dinners is that at least one new and one established member of the faculty or administration is invited to each dinner. In this way "town" people and "gown" people are brought together. So that as many "gown" people as seating restrictions allow can be invited, they can't always be notified early. "I really appreciate the co-operation we've received in this from the faculty and staff members," said Mrs. Pearson. Mrs. Pearson said each dinner four days' preparation. Invitations are sent, food purchased and the tables set; the day of the dinner is spent entirely in food preparation. She said it was hectic at first but now everything is fairly well organized:

"The rooms the dinner is in are completely rearranged by the maintenance men in about 10 minutes. They've done it so often they know just where everything goes," Mrs. Pearson said. "I'm especially thankful to Mrs. (Lester) Russel and Mrs. (Guy) Rosenberg who help with china and crystal when more people than expected show up."

The effects of the TownJ.own dinners are impossible to gauge at present. This is only the third year they've been given. In any effort like this there are no instant results. About 3,000 people are served in the President's home each year. Some come with a preconceived idea of what a century old college should look liR:e - a bunch of crumbling buildings full of old books. They get a chance to see what PSC is really like at the Town - Gown dinners.

Other faculty and students involved are Judy Davis (whose husband Mike is a student here), Mrs. Jack Hamilton, Mrs. Bob Lewellen, Mrs. Guv Rosenberg, Karen Runkles, Mrs. Paul Kruse and Sandy Stewart (wife of the new basketball coach). Mr. Bob Lewellen is chairman of the affair.

I hate I recently ate a piece of liver in the cafeteria and was only tipped off to the meat's true identity by its traditional partner, onions.

It is certainly understandable that as food prices rise, it will become increasingly difficult for Broughton Food Service to provide the same quality of food for Peru State students at the same price.

However, this price squeeze can not explain the consistently low quality meals we are served at lunch and the generally poor quality of food served at the evening meal. For one dollar you can buy a pretty good hamburger, fries and a coke in the Bob Inn. The hamburger we are served in the cafeteria hardly comes close to looking or tasting like the Bob Inn's burger. The fries we are expected to eat in Soya Food Service's cafeteria are smaller than ones served downstairs in addition to being generally under-cooked and greasy. There are several examples of either lack of interest in preparation or poor quality food that

Show your spirit and· pride

By Janie Montang

Today's views on unidentified flying objects ( U FO's) are rapidly changing from the once-beUeved theories of weather balloons and satellites. For instance, four radiation circles of gigantic size have been found in a field near Carman, Manitoba, Canada and have been attributed by experts to UFO's.

The four hot spots have been measured by Ernest Spielman, a technician at the planetarium of the Manitoba Museum of Man and Nature and his assistant Ed Barker as being 50 feet in diameter and 75 to JOO feet apart. They stated, "The radiation was 3 to 4 greater in the center of the circles, then dropped to 2112 times normal on the outer edges. No burns or other visible marks were found.''. This strange phenomenon occurred on May 13, 1975. I might say it was a coincidence or a freak of nature if only one person ha_d seen it, but 10 persons of different walks of life saw it and at the same time. They described the UFO's as being glowing objects that were speeding across the night sky, slowing oown, and then hovering near the earth. They remained in that position long

can be pointed to, but these specifics should be handled by the SCB committee assigned to this task.

The question of quality' is difficult to pin down but cleanliness is not questionable. The silverware and glasses we paid to eat out of are filthy. Cafeteria manager Darrell Williams told me one week ago that this was caused by the lack of a r!nsing agent used in the washing process which the cafeteria had run out of. Mr. Williams also told me last Wednesday that he had, that day, received the needed chemicals, thereby implying the problem would be solved. The problem has not been solved-our glasses and silverware· still look like hell; which leads me to disturbing thoughts about the rest of the operation. The students and administration have been quiet long enough. If the cafeteria can't solve its problems then it is time Dr. Pearson and the SCB asked the state health department to assist the Broughton in doing the job for which we paid hard-to-come-by dollars.

standing job. Without the work and devotion of these students, we would not have had an eight page paper. The has also been blessed with .tremer.jous support from many members of the faculty and administration. We've proved, that, if we cooperate, we can do it. I only hope this attitude which has proved to be so productive will continue.

enough for the ten spectators to approach them in cars and take pictures of them. They saw a gfow behind some trees and described the UFO further as a "smoky, reqdish, hazy glow possibly 50 feet high and 20 feet thick sitting on or near the surface at an arigle.'' The object then sped at approximately 1500 mph!! Photographs taken showed what could possibly be a "mother ship" and two robot ships. One piece of film shows a smaller shadow ascending 3,000 feet straight up in one-sixteenth of a second! ! ! That must have been a robot ship because no human or human-like creature could stand that much intense pressure, or physical stress.

Spielman and Barker said the radiation they found was on or near the surface, not in the soil.

In another, related vein, I recently saw a movie on television called "The UFO Incident" in which an interracial couple from New Hamshire were abducted and taken aboard an alien space ship in 1962, and made to undergo a thorough medical examination (their skin and hair were of particular fascination to the aliens, because samples were taken and placed in sterile, plastic

Red, white and blue are popping up all over. As 1976 and America's Bicentennial draw nearer, Americans are showing their colors, in ever-growing numbers. One of the brightest examples is the park benches on the outdoor ma 11 at one of Lincoln's ,shopping centers. The benches decked with varied scenes painted in patriotic red, white and blue.

Although the motives of many Bicentennial projects may be mercenary, it is still significant that the people in the "land of the free and the home of the brave" are exhibiting so much spirit and attention toward America's 2ooth. birthday.

Undoubtedly, emense proportions of historical data ·will be flashed before the people during the next 15 months. With 200 years of history to draw information and American heroes from, the Bicentennial should be an appropriate time to present historical material in both an interesting and intriguing manner. We have already seen some fine examples of detailing and portraying events through historical character-izations. These include· Hal Holbrook as Mark Twain and Abe Lincoln, James Whitmore as Will Rogers and Harry Truman, and

the four-part series on Ben Franklin which appeared on national TV last season.

The Freedom Train is another historical tribute currently touring the country and bringing relics from the past to the present generations. It has been mentioned that women's role in building America is not specified in the train's contents and that agriculture did not receive fair representation, but certainly with over 1, 100 items aboard there must be a special item with which anyone can identify.

It already seems you cannot open a magazine or look in many stores without finding some type of souvenir for ·America's Bicentennial. Probably every one in the States will want a momenta of the glorious year ahead and in addition, the celebration should be a drawing card for tourists from abroad. The Bicentennial could very well be an effective stimulant for the American economy.

Communities in every state across the nation are busy preparing special events to honor America on her 200th birthday. As 1976 looms closer, spirits should rally.toward an ever-increasing peak. Surely 200 years of Freedom is· something to shout about and Americans should laud it to the hilt.

letter to the Editor

To the Editor: Having attended Peru for the last three years I wish I could claim that the prepared for the students in the cafeteria is satisfactory. On the contrary, it is not! I am not at this time insinuating that this is Darrell Williams' fault, because it is not. I fully understand that Broughton Foods is our supplier. I would expect that we should receive some decent food. I am, for one, tired of eating second-rate food. These things they wish to call hamburgers are an

containers for further study). At first, doctors were wary to accept their ·claim, but when the woman drew a map, while under hypnosis, of an area of the universe not discov,ered by scientists until 1969, they had to believe them. One of the aliens offered to give the woman a thick book written in a strange language, but the leader took it away saying it wouldn't be believed. As yet, their story still has not been disproved.

Again I can hear you laughing or saying I must be drunk or crazy. I assure you I'm not. A few years ago, I might have gone along with the crowd and said a UFO was just another weather balloon or satellite tracking hurricanes. The more I think about it, the more believable it becomes. Too many people have seen these objects for the idea of alien visitors not to be feasible. Someday we-the common man, not just astronauts--'may have a chance to visit some distant planet in deep space and be considered a UFO!! Strange? Perhaps. Unbelievable? Not to me. In the above-mentioned movie, James Earl Jones stated, "Imagine trying to find the existence of God on another planet." Why not??

I would also like to know what happened to the flavor that should be in this food. Some of the food tastes like a Mack truck drove over it. I also want people to know that although the food could be better, and that it's not like mother's, it is better than nothing that half of this world's people are undernourished. I am not a chronic complainer of this food because sometimes we receive a really great meal. But overall, I do believe we, the students should expect a little better food than we have been getting.

Foreign students awaits winter

Sydney and Wilfred are getting ready for their first fullblown Nebraska winter. They came here last January and missed the first two frosty months. This would normally be I nothing unusual for out-of-state · students, but Sydney Okoye and Wilfred Okafor are from Enugu, Nigeria, which, while about the same size as Omaha, is about as far from Nebraska and its freezing winters as possible. Why are these two African students so far away from their native land? Wilfred said, "I picked Peru because my brother said it was a good college. He is the minister of education." Sydney, on the other hand, picked Peru by chance. He had thought there were only big cities in the United States, and was surprised by Peru's size.

Both Sydney and Wilfred are from large families. Sydney has three brothers and one sister, and Wilfred has four brothers and a sister. Wilfred said, "It was a little hard to leave my family and go so far away."

Sydney said he misses his family, too.

Both students like Peru. Sydney said, ''The other students are friendly; the teachers are helpful," and Wilfred commented, "I like the school. I am going to stay here."

Sifting Sands to be published in March Prejudices. exist

How many of you know what Sifting Sands is? If you are not familiar with that name and the history of It represents you are probably·one among many. And since I, until a few days ago; was also unaware of it I can objectively say that you are ignorant of an interesting fpotnote to the history of the college.

Sifting_ Sands is the name of the literary magazine published by English Club on campus.

The edition that will be published this spring is the thirtieth volume, dating back to 1936. ·.

Orginally the magazine was published by the Sigma Tau Delta chapter. According to articles in the college paper of the time, the project began as a "quarterly magazine of poetry." "It was to consist of contributions by faculty and students." But as time went on the format went from one of entirely poetry to one of poetry, short story and essay.

The first volume of the Sifting Sand Literary Magzine had 24 pages and 30 poems. The editorial board of that first publication included Marion Marsh, a PSC alumnus who has written a number of historical books for elementary studerits, "Swamp Fox," and "Young Nathan'·' among them.

The magazine was published consecutively through the next ten or 15 years. One of the highlights during that time was the "war" issue of 1943.

Today the magazine is published annually rather than quarterly by the English club.

According to Miss Wreathea Hicks, the sponsor of the club, the chapter of Sigma Tau Delta

On Oct()ber 18, SEAN (Student Education Association of Nebraska) held a workshop in Lincoln.

This conference is at the state level. The national level is SNEA (Student National Education Association).

The schools involved in this workshop were Doane, (at Crete, NE) Peru College (at Peru, NE), UNO (at Omaha) Nebraska Weselyn (at Lincoln).

Sue Scott, who is a sophorrigre at Peru State was the Southeast conference representative for Nebraska, conducted the workshop.

The purpose of the workshop was to indoctrinate new members interested in leadership and to promote interest in education.

In conjunction with the magazine is the Silas· summers Literary Contest. It was started a number of years ago to generate contributing interest and to .reward exceptional work. Each year students 1 submit copy to the contest to be judged. The three works judged best in each of three categories: poetry, prose and miscellaneous are featured in the magazine and ·the writers receive cash prizes.

The editor for .this year's magazine is John Beck, a senior English major. Beck was one of the prjze winning writers in last year's contest. lie said that the deadline for ropy submitted to the contest and the. magazine is January. The target date for publication is in March. Beck, who said that judges have not been confirmed, expressed a desire to have the magazine published by an outside company but he realized that that hinged upon the reputations of the judges obtained.

McKercher said that "sometimes Rob hesitates to express himself on controversial matters for fear his opinion will be taken as mine. But that's about the only difference." ·

The PSC Bobcats open against Northwest Missouri, November 6. Look for another outstanding season of wrestling action. The Bobcats eye the season with expectations and even higher hopes. There are various reasons for the Bobcats frame of mind.

Last year the Bobcats were rated 13th in the nation. The 'cats' return all but two from last season's squad. Five of those returning are the type championship teams are built on. These five are recordsetters head and shoulders above the competition.

Record-setters returning to action are Fred Marisett I John Whistler, Bob Brown, Bud Frohling and Mark Yori.

Wrestlers' Profiles

Wayne Rizzo is back this season to wrestle for PSC. Rizzo, who came to Peru from Glen Cove, N.Y., won the Hilltop tournament, Locust Valley tournament, and the Booster Award in. high school.

Rizzo says that the main difference between high school and collegiate wrestling is that: "In college you have to apply your knowledge and ability rather than just try to muscle the other guy out." He will wrestle at 134 pounds this season rather than 142 which he wrestled at last year.

Dan Brust will experience college wrestling this season for. the first time. Dan made it to Peru from Omaha Bryan where he held second in state, first in districts, and second in the Metro conference.

He had this to say about the squad: "Coach Dwine did a good job of recruiting this year. He got a lot of good wrestlers from around the state."

Dan will wrestle as a heavyweight.

Douglas fails in bid for championship

History has repeated itself.

Douglas' volleyball team had a four-year championship streak going into this year's High School Girls' Invitational volleyball tournament. The streak was snapped, in the finals, by a surprising team from Elmwood, whose last tournament finish was back in 1968.

Twenty years ago, Burr had a four-year championship streak going when it was snapped by upstart team from Bruning m 1956. The 30th Annual High School Girls' Invitational, held in the PSC gym Oct. 20-22, started with 16 teams in competition and almost wound up with a classical finish.

It was not a classical finish in the sense that there were several upsets in the tournament. For instance, fourthseeded Johns-Brock was upset by Elk Creek 15-12, 15-8. Scoring spurts in both sets by Elk Creek was the reason. SoutheastStella was upset by a surprising team from Weeping Water 15-2, 15-13. Murdock, a strong tournament team during the past few years, was unseeded year and was beaten by third-seeded Dawson-Verdon in the quarter finals 15-12, 15-6.

Douglas, a tournament favorite, and first-seeded this year, went all the way to the finals ··with a little bit of struggling.

After easily disposing of Table Rock 15-3, 15-8 in the first round, Douglas ran into a tough Syracuse team. After losing the first set 15-6, Douglas pulled itself together and won the fast two sets 15-7, 15-6 in the quarter finals. In the semi-finals

Douglas passed a strong Omaha team 15-6, 15-9. Strong spiking by Douglas penetrated the Mercy defense in the first set. With the score tied 5-all, Douglas started an eight-point scoring spurt that allowed them to win the first set. In the second set, Mercy fell behind 6-2, then rallied for a 9-6 lead. Douglas rallied back and put on another scoring spurt to win the semifinal match.

Elmwood, second-seeded team in the tournament, had just about the same struggle in

·Rosenbeck - Peru's QB

Bob Rosenbeck, a native and graduate from Guthrie Center, la., has quarterbacked the PSC Bobcats to two wins and two losses this season.

The two wins were over Concordia and Benedictine, with the losses in the Kearney and Chadron games. Rosenbeck, a freshman, started in his first game against Concordia.

Coach Jerry Joy had these comments about Rosenbeck's starting assignment: "His legs were in shape and Bob had worked himself into top physical condition. I felt that he was ready to play and ready to get the team rolling."

Rosenbeck had this to say about this season and his college career: "We have the potential to win, but we need to put it together. We have some· fine split ends and I know we can win the rest of the games this season. During my college career I hope to win and do the best that I can."

Coach Joy stated that Rosenbeck's best games so far have been against Benedictine and Chadron. Coach Joy also said, "Bob has really improved.

He has improved every week and he is getting better and better all the time. We are especially pleased with his play because he has not played much even in high school."

While in high school, Rosenbeck also played as defensive end, as well as quarterback. His major is undeclared at this time.

Rushing - seven attempts for -30 yards (-4.3 ave.)

Passing - 10 completions out of 22 attempts (45.4 percent) for 158 yards. One pass went for a touchdown and two other passes were intercepted.

Total Offense - 29 plays for 128 yards (4.4 ave.)

their way to the finals. After winning the first round match with Auburn 15-9, 15-12, Elmwood blew Weeping Water off the courts 15-1, 15-1 in the quarter-finals. The semi-finals pitted second-seeded Elmwood against third-seeded DawsonVerdon. A strong spiking start by Dawson-Verdon netted a 6-0 lead and a 15-4, first-set victory. However, Elmwood, with strong spiking from senior Judi Pratt, pulled together and defeated Dawson-Verdon in the next two sets 15-3, 15-10 to go into the finals.

In the consolation game Wednesday night, Mercy showed its usual ball control offense in the first set as they beat Dawson-Verdon 15-7. The second set saw the momentum go both ways. The second set was clinched by DawsonVerdon on .three strong serves by Barb Vogt, 15-12. ·

After a 6-6 stalemate in the third set, the Mercy offense got going and ran 1 up a 12-6 lead. The carried Mercy to a third-place finish in the tournament.

The championship game, delayed a half hour by the prolonged consolation game, pitted the old champion, Douglas, against the new challenger, Elmwood. The first set of the match turned out to be a "come-from-behind" set for Elmwood. After falling behind 12-6, Elmwood senior Judi Pratt entered the game and ignited the Elmwood offense. It was 13all when Douglas pulled together to stalemate the Elmwood Priates. The score was finally settled 17-15 on a pair of strong Elmwood serves.

The second set spelled disaster for Douglas as tough Elmwood serves ran up a 8-0 lead. Douglas could not check the Pirates' momentum and was defeated 15-5.

According to Elmwood coach Jay Wischmeier, the Elmwood team has all starters back from last year's squad. He stated that even though the squad has a balanced offense and a good spike defense, they depend on Elmwood senior Judi Pratt for offensive spark and team leadership.

Showing her form Mary Ann Duggan spikes another point.for the Mercy girls.

Girls' BB is Volleyball gals believe Peru can win at State around the .corner

The Girls basketball team is hard at work for the 1975-76 season. The team is under the direction of head coach Mrs. Marlene Joy with McElroy as assistant coach.

Eight girls have been working on cQnditioning and improving strength in the past weeks. They are Penny Baker, Cedar Creek; Twila Beck, Louisyille; Tammie Coleman, Avoca, Ia.; Mary Cotton, Woodbine, Ia.; Luanne Kreifels, Dunbar; Denise Menke, Hebron; Fay Woods, Omaha, and Jean Rosenbeck, Guthrie Center, Ia. Allie Stoltenberg from Omaha is out student teaching but will be playing with the team. The 1 rest of the team is made up of seven volleyball girls. There are five returning lettermen and the rest of the team is made up of freshmen.

Deb Scholl, Falls City, and Linda Uher, Milligan, are the three-year lettermen on this season's volleyball team.

Deb Scholl is a junior in physical education. She played outstanding volleyball in high school and was awarded the outstanding volleyball player award her senior year.

Last year she was awarded the WAA volleyball scholarship. Scholl is a s,etter the 1team and feels the offense is stronger than defense. She also believes that the toughest team that they have played so far is Tarkio. Her comment for the team is that "the team would benefit more by pulling their efforts and skills together.".

Linda Uher also played in high school and believes that the competition is tougher in college. She was awardee an all-tournament award, all conference, and outstanding volleyball player. She believes that Tarkio has been the toughest, but Maryville was a difficult opponent. Uher prefers to play on the home court because of the benefit of a partisan crowd. She believes that "the team has a lot of potential and hopes that they can stay together to have a winning team every game."

Pam Peters from Elk Creek is a freshman and is in the topeight player list. She played in high school and believes that it

is harder to play college ball. She is playing with a volleyball scholarship and is a ·spiker. Peters was awarded the outstanding female athlete award and all conferece award. She iS a PE major. In. her opinion there is no added advantage in pfaying at home. She believes the offense is stronger than the defense. Peters also believes that "with team spirit high they can win any game. It's when the team is down that you have a hard time pulling it together for a victory."

Bev Pietzyk is also from Elk Creek and a freshman. Pietzyk plays on a volleyball scholarship and is also a PE major. She was honorable mention all conference in high school. She believes that NWMSU was the toughest team to play against, and she prefers to play at home. Pietzyk is a spiker for the Bobkittens. She believes that "if the team keeps playing to their potential they have a good chance at the state tournament."

Casey Speaks On Death

And Journalism at PSC

Allan Casey, from the CaseyWitzenburg Funeral Home in Auburn, came to talk to the Peru State College journalism class Wednesday, November 19.

Casey explained the procedure on how they handle a death. When they receive the call from the hospital, they ask if the family is present. They talk with the family and give them an obituary form to fill out for the newspaper. It nmst be filled out by a relative to eliminate mistakes. When calling the newspaper to give them the information, Casey always asks them to repeat the information to make sure they have it correct.

There are three categories of deaths. Routine funerals are newsworthy on just a local basis. The second category is a loeal person, but the cause of death makes him newsworthy on more than a local basis. The final category is either a prominent person, or an unusual death, causing more pews releases.

In the case of an embarrasing death, the mortician will tell the paper to call the sheriff for more information.

A bid has been accepted for the replacement of bleachers in the college gymnasium. The State College's Board of Trustees met Friday, Jan. 23 and approved over $26,000 for the purchase of the Universal Roll-a-way Bleachers, a product of Hoover Bros. George Wendel, PSC Maintenance Supervisor, said that the need for new bleachers was recognized in June of last year; specifications were drawn up then. The need was climaxed recently when Gordon West, physical plant consultant to the Board of Trustees, condemned the old bleachers.

According to Wendel, the new bleachers will be installed in three or four months and could be utilized in the gymnasium addition proposed for Majors Hall.

The remainder of the men's basketball schedule has been moved to the Auburn and Nebraska City high school gymnasiums. On Feb. 10 Peru plays Bellevue in Auburn. On Feb. 17 they play Dana at Nebraska City and on Feb. 24 they play Wayne State at Auburn.

The home wrestling and women's basketball schedules will be held in the college gym with folding chairs set up for the fans.

Peru State College, after having weathered 111 years of hard economic times, prosperity booms, 'inancial squeezes, rising or declining enrollments, and weather beatings by Mother Nature, is now facing a serious threat from a different direction-Revenue Bond Certificate holders.

Back in the 1960's, Revenue Bonds were sold to help Peru State finance the construction of various campus buildings as the Fine Arts Building, Majors Hall, Centennial Complex, etc. At that time, enrollment level at Peru State was peaking near the 1,450 mark. The enrollment level was more than sufficient to enable Peru State to have plenty of revenue money coming in to keep up with the revenue bond payments.

However, in the early '70's, enrollment level at Peru State took a nose-dive. It dropped from nearly 1,450 to 770 students. Th is enr()l Iment decrease has been halted a few years back as concerned students went on a recruiting crusade to keep Peru State alive.

This reduced enrollment is one of the reasons why Peru State has been hard-pressed to keep up with its revenue bond payments. For the past two years, Peru State has been very close to failing the 100 per cent test and not been able to pass the 125 per cent test. The 100 per cent test is where the revenue gained from the re.venue bonded bui !dings must match the principal payment plus interest due for that year. The 125

Lorry Kosch

per cent .test. is the same thing except that you have 25 per cent more revenue coming in. To fail the 125 per cent test means that you are in technical default of paying the bonds. Failing the 100 per cent test means you are in total default and in · deep. financial trouble.

This "total default" is what Peru State Administration is very wary of. In spite of failing the 100 per cent test for the past few years, Peru State had enough financial reserves to make up the difference. However, figure projections show that Peru State's financial reserves will get low and Peru State will be in "total default" by 1978.

Last fall, a committee of senators from the Nebraska Legislature visited the Peru campus to determine what can be done about the revenue bond payment problem. The senators were satisfied with some of the things they saw and discussed at length with. the Peru State administration.

The solution that was decided upon by the committee has been studied, analyzed and made into a proposal that is now sitting before -.the Nebraska Legislature for consideration.

The proposal, locally known as the "Majors Hall Renovation Idea," has a price tag of 2.9 million dollars a.nd is a partial solution for Peru State's financial woes.

What is "Majors Hall Renovation Idea??" I'll tell you more about that next week. ·

Majors Hall: ·--! PSC's Bond Default Solution?

By Anita Cole

The sale of Majors Hall has been proposed as a partial solution to the revenue bond payment problem at PSC.

A proposal currently under consideration by the Governor's Staff and the Appropriations Committee of the Unicameral calls for the conversion of Majors Hall into a combination health and physical education facility.

The state would buy Majors Hall from the bond holders, renovate, remodel the existing building, and build an addition to house a gymnasium, indoor track and a pool. The total cost to the state would be approximately 3,000,000 dollars.

The building now used for a gym was built in 1903 as a chapel. As a gymnasium, it seems to have missed its calling. The roof leaks and is hard to repair. The supports holding up the floor are inadequate. Lighting in the gym is poor and there are no public restrooms.

Men and women are forced to use the same dressing room, because there is so little space. If is nearly impossible for students to receive private counseling when there are four offices crowded into one big r m

The proposed health and physical education facility would also provide classrooms. Fifty-four percent of the physical education courses offered by the college must be taught in other buildings now. There is little doubt that the proposed facility would benefit the students and the community. It would upgrade the physical education program and attract new students to the campus.

But would it solve the bond payment problem? The answer is no. The sale of Majors Hall, alone, will only partially solve the problem, but it will enable the college to meet 100 per cent of the annual payment of principle and interest.

PSC would still fail the "125 percent test" and remain in technical default on revenue bond payments, but the actual default predicted for 1978 might be averted.

If the new facility could attract new students to the campus, the cause of the revenue bond payment problem might even be affected. All the student housing built for a great iricrease in enrollment wouldoo occupied and be paying for itself.

What is this "Majors Hall Renovation Idea"???

It is a proposal being considered hi the Nebraska Legislature tor renovation, remodeling of Majors Hall, and construction of an arenapool complex to form a Health Center-P.E. Complex for Peru State College. The proposal is a partial solution of PSC's bond payment problem and it will the enrollment level of State College.

According to Section. 6.7 of the Bond Resolution which authorized the issuance of the 1964 Peru State College revenue bonds, the Board of Trustees is authorized "to sell any building or facility comprising a part of the revenue facility which have been determined by the Board to be unserviceable, Inadequate, obsolete, worn out or unfit to be us«;ci or no longer required for use rn connection with the operation of the revenue facility sale proceeds shall be deposited in the surp lus fund the bond fund trustee must give approval of the proposed action in writing."

Due to declining enrollments in the early 1970's, Malors Hall was closed in 1973 as an economy measure. It has remained closed and unused tor the six years. Enrollment projections indicate that Majors Hall will not be needed as a residence hall in the future. Majors Hali's inutillty and the need for a Health-P.E. Complex is what makes the "Majors Hall Renovation Idea" looks so attractive.

What makes up the 2.9 million dollar price tag of the Health-P.E.

Complex proposal? Here's a rundown of +1,e .t;>asic figures: Renovation-$104,296; Rem®el ing-$251,060; Construction of Arena-Pool-$1,317,700; Contingencies-$250,958; Furnishings and Equlpments-$100,000; Special Equlpment-$10,000; Fees and Tests-$160,000. The total project figure is $2, 194,014. Included In the price tag is the replacement cost of the building as established for insurance purposes-$941,760. This cash amount will be used by the Bond trustee to purchase bonds due for payment or purchase bonds on the open market at 50-65 per cent of face value. Also, yearly main· tenance costs have been estimated to be $50,000.

A new Health-P.E. Complex at Peru State would have a favorable impact on , the overall college program. It would: l. Enable: Curricul.um Expansion., 2. Enhance Varsity and Intramural Sports., 3. Improve Health Center Services, and 4. Promote Welfare of Students, Faculty and Spectators Involved in Programs.

The most important impact would be the enrollment· level of Peru Stat1r. Completion of this 2.9 million dollar project would greatly enhance the enrollment level. Current students would tend to return and prospective students would tend to come because the facilities on campus would more adequately meet the prescribed needs of the students.

Bobcat1' Patience Pay1 Off In 4S-42 Upgef of Bellevue

Aubrey Matthews led the Peru State Bobcats to a 45-42 upset over the Bellevue Bruins with 12 points as Peru played a controlled offense and stingy defense, Tuesday night, Febr.

10.

Excellent ball handling enabled Peru to maintain possession of the ball during most of the game and patience played a key role as the players worked for the percentage shot. Peru led at half'time, 16-15.

Bellevue took a one point lead during the second half but lost it and then closed the gap to one point with 2 minutes left in the game. However, the Bobcats found the range and opened a five point lead. With seven seconds remaining, Burhart of Bellevue hit for the Bruin's last field goal and the Bobcats won their fourth game of the season, 45-42. Peru is now 4-12 while Bellevue dropped to 15-6.

CARE Appeals For Help In Guateinala

Mr. Salas made an aeriaJ survey of the worst-affected areas outside Guatemala City. These include such towns 1 as Chimaltenango, Tactic, Salama, Rabinal, El Progreso, Zacapa, Patzicia and Joyabaj, some of which are almost totally destroyed. CARE overseas and local staff have already flown or driven in to these areas to set up emergency feeding and assistance.

The U. S. Ambassador has instructed the Peace Corps in Guatemala to make available all the volunteers CARE can use to speed help to the victims.

CARE staff members in nearby countries will also be rushed in if necessary.

With thousands dead, several times that injured and at least 100,000 homeless in Guatemala City alone, CARE's Executive Director, Frank L. Goffio, today issued an urgent appeal for funds to continue CARE emergency aid to the quake victims and for crucial rehabilitation and reconstruction as soon as possible.

Contributions may be sent to CARE GUATEMALA EARTHQUAKE FUND, Room 15, 3600 Broadway, Kansas City, Mo. 64lil.

N eihardt PoetryWill Be Studied at PSC

John G. Neihardt, his poetry and the Winnebago Indian Tribe that inspired much of his poetry, be studied at first hand by 18 PSC students April 24th and 25th.

The unique course, designed in the spirit of the Nebraskaland tour, is guided by Dr. and Mrs. Schottenhamel, will be worth one credit hour in either a History or an English curriculum. According to Schottenhamel, the studies will consist of seeing some of the artifacts relating to Neihardt's work.

"It will be a class on wheels visiting Bancroft, Nebr. and the Winnebago community. We will see Black Elk's (a Winnebago chief and a character of Neihardt's poems) Prayer Garden and confer with the Winnebago Tribal Council," said Dr. Schottenhamel.

Part of the course consists of two classes prior to the trip. These will be held.on April 13th and 23rd from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. and will prepare the students for the 400 mile expedition. During the two classes the students will prepare and present reports designed to familiarize the others with certain aspects of the Indian culture and Neihardt's world.

The Winnebagos were the last tribe to settle in Nebraska. They

MD '76 Dance Marathon Set for March 5-6 at PSC

Chris Bell, State Patient Service Coordinator for Muscular Dystrophy, recently spoke at a meeting of MD marathon staff, dancers and supporters in the West Dining Room at the Student Center.

After introducing the two :lystrophy patients that accompanied him (Sandy Hamilton and Randy Manney>, Mr. Bell explained the meaning of muscular dystrophy and how it slowly

wastes body muscles. Muscular dystrophy, he explained, is a general term used to describe a group of muscle-destroying diseases which vary in hereditary pattern, age of onset, initial muscles attacked, and rate of progression. Twenty-three such neuromuscular disorders are included in the MDA's patient services program.

Mr. Bell went on to explain how a muscular dystrophy patient can be referred to a clinic for free treatment, therapy and rehabilitation. The Nebraska clinic, located at the Nebraska Medical Center ill Omaha, can provide complete medical attention to the patient's needs, also diagnostic evaluation and genetic counseling for family members.

originated in Wisconsin but were driven from · there and later from Iowa, Minnesota and South Dakota before settling in what ·would become Thurston County in northeast Nebraska in 1863 and 1864. Their odyssey and the life of the great chief Black Elk attracted Neihardt and inspired a five-part epic poem: The Song of Hugh Glass 0915), The Song of Three .friends 0919), The Song of the Indian Wars (1925), The Song of the Messiah0935), and The Song of Jed SmithC1941). Schottenhamel, who has conducted college credit tours through Nebraska in past summers, said the shorter spring trip was conceived in an effort to cut costs and make it "economically feasible" for students who might not be able to afford the longer summer trip. He said that the first 18 students who deposited $13 for transportation and lodging before April 1 would get a berth on the trip. He also indicated that food for the two days would amountto about $8. No refunds on the deposit will be made unless the trip does not materialize or unless the depositor has a replacement to fill out the roster. Names of enrollees after the first 18 will be taken and placed on a waiting list.

The PSC gym will be a scene of dancing and merrymaking when the MD '76 Dance Marathon gets underway at 6 p.m., March 5. M.ore than 25 couples have entered the marathon, but more couples and more pledges are still needed to iralse $10,000.

The 50 people in attendance viewed a slide show· of last year's dance marathon presented by Amy Walsh. A tape recording of music and comments accompanied the slides, which moved a few dancers to recall their own memories of last year's marathon.

After the slide show presentation, Ruth Gottula explained some of the new regulations that will be in force for this year's marathon. Press releases, clothing and 'Pie-inFace' contracts were among some of the new regulations that Ms. Gottula explained.

President Pearson gave a short speech, urging the MD staff and dancers to outdo themselves and better last year's contributions total.

In concluding the meeting, Ruth Gottula announced that three couples have dropped out of the marathon. However, both Ms. Gottula and Walsh expressed hope that more couples will sign up during the week before the March 5-6 dance marathon.

The 1976 MD dance marathon will kick off at 6 p.m. March 5 in the PSC gym and wind up, 30 hours later, at the stroke of midnight, March 6. In between the two big moments, plenty of activities are scheduled to keep the dancers and spectators awake and happy. Live band entertainment at all hours will be provided. Such local groups like Golden Touch, Troubadors, Beaver Junction and the Phil Rogge Band will be at the marathon to keep the spirit of the dancers moving.

Kosch Komment

,, So. much for the revenue bond payment problem. I've discovered a much more serious p_roblem that's just sui-facing here at PSC. And the problem's origin can.be traced back to Senator Koch's wel I-known statements about closing down Peru State and converting it to a penal reformatory. The problem Is, when Koch's statements were released last fall, high school students Jn the Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri area were led by his statements to think that Peru State will be closed this fall. And they don't know the truth! ! !

The implication ·is that these misled high school students, once considering going to Peru State, will not about PSC and go enroll somewhere else next fall. This can and will really hurt PSC's next fall enrollments and the college's chances for survival.

The truth of the matter is: Peru

Present Drought Conditions in Kansas Are

8v

Jan Johnson

-Due to lack of Conservation Practices

Drought is slowly turning the Midwest into a dustbowl, a term· coined in the Depression, when blowing sand and dust turned the southwest into a near wasteland. The drought in the Great Plains hasn't been as publicized as that ln the southwest, however.

It se.ems that the lessons learned in the Depression didn't sink deep enough to prevent recurrences. New droughts occurred in the 1950's and again in the 1970's.

Life is still relatively hard on the Great Plains and sometimes farmers are economically unable to practice · good conservation methods. The farmer feels he has to make as much money from this year's crop as possible without regard to the future. However, if they'd only practiced a few of the following methods, part of the drought could have been prevented.

These methods are strip farming of land at right angles to the prevailing wi-nds, stubble-mulch tillage (leaving the previous crop's stubble to hold the earth in place after cultivation), planting crops like winter rye to hold soil during this

period, planting trees as wind- · breaks, using marginal cropland for grazing, and going from dry farming to irrigation.

The plains of Oklahoma, West Texas,: and eastern New Mexico suffered the worst damage in the 1970-71 drought. Planted seeds didn't germinate, or, if they did, the parched seedlings didn't grow. Dust piled up along roads and against fencelines. U.S.D.A. officials ranked this drought as the kind that occurs once in 200 years and one that was far worse than that of the 1930's. An estimated 2.6 million acres of farm lands suffered long-term ecological damage due to the blowing away of fertile topsoil simply because conservation wasn't practiced.

The drought in Oklahoma began gaining momentum in 1969.

Weathermen predicted then that it will continue in varying degrees of severity through the major part of this decade. On February 21, 1976, CBS News said that ground and crop losses will increase 8 per cent over the next five years, all because of drought. West Kansas has suffered

drought every 20 years since the 1850's. This is just another "link" in the "chain."

In 1971, 147 counties in Texas and 18 in Oklahoma were declared disaster areas, eligible for federal aid. San Antonio had 2 inches of rain in 7 months, just 20 per cent of their average. La Vernia, Texas had had so little rain in a year, the town was passed off as a desert. April 1971 was a bad month for Texas: the state lost $100 million, some farmers lost up to half their 1972 income, Corpus Christi received 4 per cent of her annual rainfall, nearly $1 billion in agricultural income was lost, and hay was selling at twice its normal price. Eleven million head of ·cattle were in the worst shape weight-wise since 1935.

Drivers in west Texas kept their headlights on during the day because of thick blowing dust. Housewives jammed newspapers into cracks around doors and windows to keep the dust out.

All this because conservation was not practiced. Think about it.

New business discussed a printed schedule 'for Spring Week activities, a Programs Meeting on February 26, and an egg-white pie throw during the Marathon. In the latter, certain rules were set up: no pies can be thrown at dancers during breaks, no pies can be thrown at faculty members or anyone in the administration, pies can be thrown by ''authorized personnel" only, a charge of $3 (if you wish to throw a pie yourself) or $5 (pie thrown by SCB member) will be levied, there is no limit on how many times a person may be hit, SCB must give an OK on whom the pie is to be thrown first, and towels will be provided to the person hit (each SCB member is to bring two marked towels - so they may be returned - to the next meeting, March 1.

The meeting adjourned at 5:55 p.m.

Senior Art Show Held

The recent "Senior Show" in the mall of the Fine Arts· building featured the work of Dave Manriquez and Kurt Kent. Both artists are. seniors and plan careers as art teachers.

· Manriquez, who attended college and lived in California before coming to Peru in September, feels that selfexpression through art is important. His work shows great personal and emotional input.

Kent thinks that the values of the past be saved. His work is earth-oriented and close to nature. He said that his rodeo experience has given him a chance to see the confliet between man and beast and undoubtedly it has affected his work.

Manriquez plans to do some wood sculpture soon. He says that is is difficult for him to work in the same medium over a long period of time without getting stale.

Happiness Is A ,, Spring Break!

By Jan Johnson-

A week of relaxation begins arch 12. Spring Break is the traditional name given to this time of no classes, teachers' lectures, tests or studying.

In a random sampling, I found that work in one form or another is involved as is traveling. Many of the seniors in education will put their skills to the test when they go out to student teach (their Spring Break occurs in April). Some of these people include Carol Coffin, Denise Haynes, Anne Tackett, Mike Resso, Dan Cotton, Bill Hosack and many others.

Other responses to the question "What will you be doing over Spring Break?" are the following:

Barb Lyons: SEW!!!

Yvonee Parde: Work.

Dave Simmons: Work on the farm.

Alonzo Collins: Eating real meat and partying!

Debby Long: Spending time with my grandmother in Falls City.

Sally Highfield: Riding Amtrak to visit my brother, who's in the Air Force in Indiana.

Sue Gardner: Going to Arizona to visit my grandparents.

Mr. Cooper also has life-long acquaintances with Peru State graduates. His first acquaintance was with Jess Harris back in 1912. At the present time, there are several Peru graduates working in the Hum- · boldt area. Several of them are employees of the 0. A. Cooper Company, Humboldt, which manufactures livestock feed.

Mr. Cooper is well known for his involvement with the Nebraska Public Power Board. For 18 years he was a member of the Board of Directors. In the 1974 election, Mr. Cooper carried six of the seven counties for a six-year term as NPPD Director. This position was recently resigned so Mr. Cooper can devote his full attention to ,his campaign for the legislature seat.

Presently, Mr. Cooper is a registered Democrat, but five years ago, he ws a Republican. His Republican background included experience as Richardson County Chairman, .Vice-President of Richard County Young Republicans and Alternate Delegate to the Republican National Convention in 1944.

If you ever wanted to have a open discussion with a political candidate, here's your big chancel

Guy Cooper, a candidate for the First District seat in Nebraska Unicameral, will be on PSC campus today and he will speak and hold discussion during convo hour, in the· Fine Arts Auditorium. The "open discussion" is slated to l:>egln at 9:30 a.m. with an opening speech by Guy Cooper. Later, Mr. Cooper will open discussion and field questions from the audience. The meeting will conclude at 10 a.m. with hot coffee and fresh doughnuts-rolls served in the Fine Arts lobby (Diddle Court). Any further discussion can be carried on over coffee and rolls

Why is this your big chance??

Because it is a three-in-one chance to:

1. Let your opinions on controversia I issues be know by our district seat candidate.

2. Let your issue opinions be heard in the Nebraska Unicameral via our elected candidate's efforts.

3. Let our candidate and the Nebraska Unicameral know our concern and support surviva I and vitality of. Peru State College.

Through my correspondence with Mr. Cooper, I am impressed with the fact that Mr. Cooper is open-minded. He is willing to discuss with anyone just about everything under the sun. This type of attitude is very Im-

by Larry Kosch

portant for any political candidate to have.

One type of attitude a political candidate must not have ls a complete disregard of his need_s and well-being. Our incumbent senator, Senator Wiltse of Falls City, displayed an attitude last fall. When Senator Koch made his infam,ous statements about converting Peru State into a reformatory, Senator Wiltse, without thinking of his own constituents, jumped on the bandwagon in support of Senator Koch. can you imagine??? Our own senator, whom we had elected, actually turned his back to us and catered to other senators' needs I ! !

I feel that Guy Cooper is the right man for the right (ob. His support of Peru State College and open-minded attitude is more than enough to convince me.

While there's still time, you can come over to the F .A. Auditorium and get to talk with Mr. Guy Cooper himself. If you missed him, you can send a letter to him, stating your support and opinions. Here's his addrress: Mr. Guy L. Cooper, Rural Route 1, Humboldt, Nebraska 68376 •

Dear Editor:

I must disagree with many of the statements presented in the March 3 issue of the Ped. First of all. my definitions of vitality, confidence, and potential must differ from yours for in my opinion these words don't apply to Peru State. I also feel that MOST student-teacher relationships are a farce. Teachers and counselors should be there to help you with a problem and not gossip about you the minute you leave their office.

Professor Noise's Accreditation The Pedagogian Found Lacking by Audi Tuninfork

Peru State College has won its struggle with the infamous Prof. Noise and his legions of devoted neophytes: Racket, Clatter, Babble and the worst of the lot, NOISE POLLUTION.

According to Cantor pollster Random Samson, 60 per cent of dorm residents feel that noise infiltration has receded this semester. ·One resident attributed this to a concerted effort by the residents in light of a Washington Post article that blasted Prof. Noise. In the article Jack Anderson cited the Professor's underworld ties and intimated that he might be involved in prostitution and the numbers rackets as well as the Teapot Dome Scandal.

What is it in PSC's method that has brought success where similar institutions have failed?

To find the answer, I checked with Audi Tuninfork, Student and Chairman of the President's Secret Council

P.S.S.S.S.H.

Ped Rep: It seems like what everyone is talking about lately is noise pollution, yet you've been able to curb it. How?

Audi: I'm glad you asked that. You see it took hard work and a never-say-die staff. The problem in fighting anything this big is to get in there and dig. You've· got to nail it at the source.

Ped Rep: And just how did you do this?

Audi: It wasn't easy but we found the Big Apple and when we did we put the squeeze on him.

Ped Rep: I see. Now just who is this Big Apple?

Audi: (incredulous) Professor Noise, who else?

Ped Rep: Isn't that the guy that Jack Anderson exposed?

Audi: Yea, he fingered him alright but he just found the tip of the iceberg. We found out something bigger, something that blew the case wide open. It was about his accreditation.

Ped Rep: (astonished) You mean he hadn't Audi: hadn't renewed his certificate! Yo.u got it buster! When we turned him over to the North Central Association we knew he'd go up the river for a long, long time.

Although some of his apostles continue his teachings in small underground sessions, the saga of Prof. Noise is history.

To accentuate the importance of this date in Peru State history, I would like to quote that Beacon of justice and placid dorms, Audi Tuninfork: "Despots like Prof. Noise and his cohorts must be stamped out before their murmurs become roars and before they can crumble the foundations of the educational institutions of this country."

"He who listens understands." - Old proverb

Published weekly by the students of Peru State College, the Pedagogian is the sounding board of the student body and is sensitive to the problems of the college community.

PSC Tennis Is Budgetless

Peru State College will have a tennis team this Spring according to Dr. Tom Fitzgerald, Director of Physical Education, but there is a slight problem. Since there was no money budgeted for a tennis team, it will have to be a limited program and Dr. Fitzgerald is working with those students who are interested in playing.

Any student who will be playing in a tenni3_,match must have a sponsor who will sponsor the student to and from the matches, Fitzgerald said.

Peru State College has guest facilities tor overnight accomodations for aft'tone visiting the college or community. With the absence ot motel or hotel facilities in the town of Peru, we are pleased to be able to offer this service.

Cooper Pledges·.. New Gylll for Peru State

By Stephen Chatelain

Guy Cooper said during a recent visit to the campus that .he would build a new gymnasium at Peru State College.

Cooper, 69, a First District Unicameral hopeful, spoke to students, faculty and community members and- outlined his political philosophy and legislative motives. During the course of the discussion, he talked about his own qualifications and the needs of the First District. But it was what Cooper said about incumbent Irving Wiltse, and Cooper's own determination to build a new gymnasium at PSC that brought the most response from the audience.

Cooper criticized Wiltse for inactivity in the Legislature, saying that in eight years, Wiltse ·has failed to introduce one "significant" piece of legislation, that he has never been a chairman of any legislative committee or subcommittee,

and that he has been absent for the voting on eight per cent of the bills.

Cooper said he plans to introduce every bill that he is allowed. Citing the political disadvantages of having few natural geographicfll allies he said he must introduce bills to use as "trading stock." In other words, he plans to barter bills with other senators.

Cooper, a lifetime resident and longtime businessman of Humboldt, has also served on the Nebraska Public Power Board. Throughout the speech, Cooper stressed how these experiences and the people he has met through them will be invaluable in the legislature.

One of those acquaintances is Governor James Exon. Cooper claimed that he had a written pledge from Exon backing anything that he (Cooper) might promote if elected. ·

done. The State Fire Marshal complimented us on our performance. We responded to the fire call pretty quick. Out of the 16 firemen at the fire, eight of us were at their monthly meeting in the firehouse. The other eight responded from their own homes."

The aftermath of the Front Page blaze provided a few humorous insights. A fireman found a covered plate of doughnuts and a box of dry matches near the kitchen door, untouched by the blaze. One of the iiremen tasted a doughnut and found it smoky and raunchy, much to the amusement of his fellow firemen. Firemen inspecting the kitchen area found six large cans of chili beans with their lids popped open by the intense heat and the beans, upon examination, were steaming and thoroughly At the front of the cafe was a smoked-up sign saying, "Enjoy a Tombstone Pizza! ! "

Two volunteer firemen, Terry Burkhalter (left) and Ken Fike, stands within the charred frame of the south kitchen window as they pump water into the blaze tnat started in the kitchen area. Both firemen are at PSC.

My first reaction to the ref>alntlng of the PSC gymnasium's Interior Ii> one of visual appreciation. The soft two-tone colors are pleasing to our eyes and is a relief from the green, fr1ded walls that we had to put up with during the past years. · ·

But when .I stop to think It throu1h, this beautiful paint job Is nothing more than just a coat of makeup for our old, antiquated gymnasium that was built back In the 1920's as a chapel fo provide an outlet of worship for PSC students.

A conversation wlth"'the painting personnel revealed the main reason why"this "makeup" job Is being done. The new bleachers that have been ordered are ready and waiting to be shipped down to Peru for Installation. The PSCadminlstratlon didn't llkethe Idea of putting something new Into something that ,looks old. So they"tfeclded to repaint the gym's Interior. When the new bleachers are Installed, the combination of the bleachers' appearance and the two-tone walls should and will Impress anybody.

(That includes propsectlve students and basketball players!!}

I want to alert the PSC administration and anyone else that is concerned about Peru State about this possibility. DJn't go on thinking that you can make this out-dated gymnasium last a few more years. Since its construction in the 1920's,_ It has outlived Its original use and Is grossly inadequate for present needs. One of these days, the PSC gym will be the scene of a major fire or a structural collapse. And without any doubt, lives will be lost. And the PSC administration certainly doesn't want to be a scapegoat. ··.

I urge the passage of the LB bill In the Legislature to buy Majors Hall and convert it into a Health-P.E. Complex before we have serious. problems and blood on our hands.

Letter to the· Editor

Dear Editor:

I happened to be on your campus on March 4th and read the student publication, "The Pedagogian," and must congratulate you on the way you handle student news in that paper.

In your Kosch Komments in your editorial section, your discussion of the serious problems that are surfacing at Peru due to a Senator's statement in the Unicameral. were interesting.

I have always been quite supportive of the Peru State College efforts and I am sure that the executive branch of the state government also has taken that position. Governor

• Exon made the statement some time ago that Peru State would remain open while he was in office and I do not believe that the majority of the senators at Lincoln believe otherwise.

I hope that each and every student would take it upon him or her self to recruit students from their area to Peru. Statements are not going to hurt the college as much as apathy on the part of the student and faculty .members. You have an excellent product to sell and I would hope you would tell the high school students about that product. If you.do not believe in Peru State College, then no one else will believe that you have the fine academic institution that is currently situated at Peru State College,

You-have a first rate faculty and a good administrative team. With those items going for you, the student body must take time to help Peru State

Starting Saturday, April 10, the window service at the Peru Post Office will be curtailed. This is an economic measure being taken by all Post Offices across the country. The windows will be open from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., two hours shorter than previous time. Delivery and dispatches will remain the same as before.

What's April Fool??

By Jan Johnson

In about one day, that day of fooling your friends and relatives will arrive once more. I am speaking, of course, of All Fool's Day, or as it is commonly known-April F06l's Day. I have often wondered where this "holiday" originated, so I decided to find out. Going to the library, I resorted to the trusty encyclopedias and came up with this: the day is probably of independent origin though it resembles the Hilaria festival of · the ancient Romans and the Huli festival of the east Indians. These holidays were held anywhere from March 25 to March 31. The timing is related to ·the vernal equinox when nature fools mankind with sudden ch·anges from showers to sunshine, and even the most dignified person is given a chance (or excuse) to play the fool.

Another source said that the holiday originated in France when Charles IX adopted a reformed calendar changing New Year's day-from April 1 to January 1. France was the first to adopt this calendar in 1564. Up to that time, people celebrated New Year's between · March 21 and April 1. When the date was changed to January 1, a few pe0ple still celebrated on the later ·date. These people were called April fools or April fish (poisson d'avril in France). In Scotland, the term is gowk or cuckoo (the emblem of simpletons that comes in April). Soon the custom of fooling friends and ·relatives on that day spread to other countries after first being popular in France. It was widespread in England in the 1600's. Today it is practiced primarily in English-speaking countries.

Peru State College has guest facilities for overnight accomodations for anyone visiting the college or community. With the absence ol motel or hotel facilities in the town of Peru, we are pleased to be able to offer this service.

It will be held April 910. The NAS constitution sent to SGA was not put up to vote because it had several errors. The SGA also decided not to send anyone to the National College Leadership Weekend in Oklahoma. Amy Walsh will attend the Chicago Conference during Spring Break.

SGA decided to recommend to SCB to have an Almost Anything Goes Contest during Spring Week. Two themes for Spring Week were decided on. They were Almost Anything Goes and One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest.

By Steve Pivovar

The day may soon come when conference competition between athletic teams from Nefour state colleges will be a thmg of the past.

Officials from Kearney, Peru, Chadron and Wayne have expressed varying opinions on the fate of the Nebraska College Conference, the athletic alignment which binds the state colleges.

One recurring point, however, is that conference competition, especially in football and basketball, could be phased out. Whether the NCC ceases to exist cannot be forecast.

But, as one official said: "If you don't have anybody playing each other, there's no need to name a champion."

The NCC currently offers championships in football, basketball, baseball, track, cross country and wrestling. The reasons for its possible demise include:

-Wayne and Kearney's entry

Into a .new conference alignment with Fort Hays, Pitts· burg, Washburn and Emporia State of Kansas and Missouri Southern and Western Colleges. Speculation has been raised that the new conference could cause scheduling problems between the NCC members.

-Economics. With' Chadron and Peru located at opposite corners of the state, transportation costs are closely watched by college officials. Peru State Athletic Director Tom Fitzgerald said that the cost of chartering a bus to transport the football team to Chadron has risen from 75 to "about 88 to 94 cents a mile in three years."

It's hard to justify such travel.• one official said, when adequate competition can be found "in one's backyard."

-Unequal enrollments. Although the state colleges each receive the same amount of tuition ,waivers for athletics, enrollments at the four schools are unequal. Peru, with 800 students, has found it almost impossible to compete in recent years in football and basketball with the three other schools. Kearneys' enrollment tops 5,000, with Wayne and Chadron near the 2,000 mark.

Any elimination of competition would be dependent upon approval by the State College Board of Trustees.

Dr. Lyle Seymoµr, president of Wayne State, said his interpretation of the Board of Trustees' policy regarding the matter was that "the board encourages the state schools to play each other. We have a dose-knit system here. We at Wayne. want. to play the other schools, as long as it's mutually acceptable to all parties.

"I think, thouglJ, that if, say, Wayne and Peru cou.ldn't get together on a football date the board would let us off the hook," he said.

breaking up this year with the four Kansas schools and Kearney joining ties with· Wayne and. the Missouri col-

leges.

Peru and Chadron officials also have started looking for new conference alignments, · ' Fitzgerald, said Peru has talked with the Heart·of American Conference, a· group of. .small Kansas sooools, about possible membership. • ·

"Ii-'s jwit been ta!W So far," Fitzgerald said ..,I was invited to their conference meeting to find out some things. about them. They, in turn, wanted to find out some things about us. We've also looked into other possibilities."

Chadron Athletic Director Mack Peyton· said his school bas been hi contact with several South Dakota schools. "We already play most of the South Dakota teams in our area. It's a fact that we're a lot closer to them than we are to Peru," he said.

·One of the current probems of the NCC is that it's not- recognized as a league by the NAIA because it does not have at least· five teams. ·

The new eight-team league Kearney and Wayne are entering means.the schools will have to allow for seven football and 14 basketball dates for conference romJ)etition, possibly as early as 1977. Scheduling prob!ems appear imminent.

"I think it's something we could live with," said · Leroy Simpson, athletic director at Wayne. "We might have to do some juggling. But we're going to make every.effort to continue playing our old rivals."

Kearney's Al Zikmund expressed the same feelings.

"We're going to schedule our sister schools," he said, "whenever possible."

Peru's Fitzgerald, however, offered another view of the situation.

"We don't want to be put in the position where we have to sclledule. Waynne· or Kearney by Oct. I, or else," he said.

·"We'll be accommodating but we have ()ur· own schedules to think about.,,. , Perhaps the most important reasons for eliminating com- · petition in basketball and football between the schools is the fact that it just hasn't been too competitive in recent years.

Peru has won only two of 15 football games against conference· members in the last five years. On the basketball court, Peru has lost 30 of 40 over the same period to NCC teams.

"It's nice to compete," Fitzgerald said, "but you have to go into things realistically. We don't have the dollars and cents or the bodies to compete year in and year out with a Kearney."

"You have to feel that you have a chance to win," he added. "And right now, we don't."

"I can work with the Governor and vice versa."

Cooper said he plans to change three trends of the district decreasing population, low - industrialization and a low median income. He said he would lure small industry to increase employment and income in southeast Nebraska. He argued that the limited industrialization of cities like Colwnbus, Norfolk or Kearney have not destroyed them, as is often feared, but have improved the communities by pumping more people and commerce into the areas.

Are You Registered To Vote in '76??

It is time to register to vote, and if you are 18 you may do so.

In a phone conversation with Ms. JoAnne Rohrs, Nemaha County Clerk, she stated that the prospective voter be 18, and a resident of the county in which he or she wishes to vote. Her office is in the court house in Auburn or she will be in Peru next month if you wish to register.

· Mrs. Jo Ann Rohrs, Nemaha County. Clerk, attended the Guy Cooper forum on · the PSC campus recently to register voters. She also clarified some confusing election procedures:

-any registered voter is entitled to vote in the primaries.

-only the voters who have indicated a party affiliation receive a partisan primary ballot.

"He who listens understands."

-all voters, regardless of party, will receive non-partisan ballots. This includes the Unicameral election.

-voters registered as "independents" receive nQn-partisan ballots only.

The registration procedure is: relatively simple: you must take an oath that you are telling the truth about your age, place of birth, etc. The registration form has some questions you must answer, and it must be signed. The deadline for registration if you wish to vote in Nebraska's primary is April 30. Rohrs' office will be1 open until 6:00 p.m. that day to take care of any late · registrations.

·1976- 77 Financial ·' Pie tu re's Tighter

Peru State students may find financial assistance more difficult to obtain for the 1976-77 academic year. In order to obtain the fullest consideration for financial assistance, applications should be submitted to the Financial Aids office on or before April 15, 1976, according to Mr. Miller, Director of Student Financial Aids.

Present Basic Grant appropriations of 715 million dollars is estimated to be 600 million dollars short of the · needed amount to provide full grants.

Congress has appropriated funds for the College Work Study Program, National Direct Student Loans and Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants for 1976-77 academic year. However, the office of Health, Education and Welfare has not notified Peru State College as to the amount of funds that will be available for PSC students. · PSC bas requested an increase of funds under these programs, but with the Federal, funds that have been appropriated, it would ·appear that fqnds will be less than 1975-76 totals.

Students are encouraged to write tbeir Congressmen to · express their concerti about the fund shortage and encourage Congress to appropriate additional funds.

Mr. Miller indicated that he is confident that those students with high financial needs will be able to obtain the funds that they will need to continue their education. Mr. Miller stated that as funds become more limited, the academic performance of the students will become more important in considering the student for financial assistance. He also stated that students should save as much money as possible from their summer job earnings.

Hahn Talks About 1976

Presidential Election

By Stephen Chatelain

A Presidential election year is a distinctive experience. In the months preceding the election, the political machinery is retrieved from its storage to be oiled,greased,andifnecessary overhauled to present the world's most exciting political adventure.

Each past election has had its own remarkable issue, personality, circumstance or scandal and is distinguished from the others by it. This year will be no different, as precedents have already been set.

I discussed some concepts of the election and of politics in general with John Hahn, PSC political science instructor, who has observed, studied and philosophied American ·politics as a Korean journalist and as a paturalized American citizen.

"Individual duty," in the words of John Hahn, is the overriding necessity of a strong Democratic political scheme and society. This popular

sovereignty is built upon, anc'. •formed by, the people's education and knowledge of their own situation. ·

Hahn said, "The basic tasks of the President and the ordinary citizen are essentially the same because it is not the talent to individually solve the country's problems that determine a successful president, but the to instill the faith m Democratic principles. Unless a leader with a keen sense of direction establishes our faith in Democracy on firmer ground we will be in trouble." Hahn added that it does not matter who is ultimately elected because the problems will be the same for any President and the formula for solving them remains the same also.

This type of unity in economics, for instance is evident when a mass of consumers sense the improvement

William E. Colwell, President, Chadron; Henry Ley, Vice-President, Wayne; Anne Campbell, Commissioner of the Department of Education, Lincoln; Muri ' Mauser; Big Springs; George Rebensdorf, Omaha; Ward Reesman, Falls City.

All the board members were appointed by the governor except Dr. Campbell. The Commissioner of Education has a permanent seat on the board. Money is a recurring subject at board meetings. Without money there would be no equipment, no classrooms, no salaries for faculty members and no colleges. But getting it is a tough job and the state colleges are in a weak position to do it. ·

The Unicameral meets within sight of giant UNL. It would.be easy for the legislators to be so dazzled by the new buildings and the "Big Red" football team that they would siqiply forget about the state colleges.

Accordin& to Senator Gary Anderson of Kearney, the universities are more visible. They get more media. coverage.

When the legislature ,begins to divide the very finite amount of money it has to work with, the universities are thought of before the State colleges. ·

The state colleges really need the money asked for in the budget requests of the Board of Trustees, according to Senator ·Leslie Stull of Chadron. They try to be realistic.

But Senator. Anderson 'said the honesty of the budget

Editorial Kosch Komment

by Larry Kqsch

One no'table characteristic of a politician is his "doubletalk."

During an election campaign or an office term, he would be talking of action or promising to act on a particular issue. Later, he would reverse himself, and go .the other way, leaving his constituents feeling confused, frustrated and angry about his actions.

What Governor J. J. Exon did in Lincoln two weeks ago was a classical, top-nQtch example of doubletalk. He made a statement some time ago, that he would keep Peru State College open while he is in office. He reversed that position recently when he executed his line-item veto on the $450,000 appropriation for purchase of Majors Hall. · Going into the final week of its 60-day session, the Nebraska Unicameral was busy clearing up a backlog of budget bills. The "Majors Hall" bill came up for final vote and it fell short of final passage by two votes. One day later, the bill was reconsidered, debated and passed.

·SCB, SG ··

The bill went to the Governor's office as part of a budget package for his signature. Since the budget was bigger than he wanted it to be, he freely used his veto power to trim 30 million dollars off the budget, including the "Majors Hall" bill.

The passage of this "Majors Hall" bill is very important for Peru State as it represents the first step toward the construction of a Health-P.E. Complex that is very badly needed. The bill's passage also meant financial relief for the college's bond payment problem. Since the bill was vetoed, Peru State will have to wait until ,the next legislative session or seek an alternative. plan to avert a total default on bond payments in 1978.

When I heard of Gov. Exon's veto of the "Majors Hall'' bill, I felt angry and betrayed. In the Letter to the Editor section of the March 31st Ped issue, Mr. Robert Prokop stated that the Governor and a majority of the State Senators are supportive of Peru State College's efforts.

Dear Editor,

I' was very pleased to see a letter in the last Ped commending the Ped .staff for the way they handled student news. Unfortunately, it seems that feeling isn't true of everyone.

As I was sitting in the Bob Inn with my feet up, relaxing and listening to some music, a very loud and shrill voice interrupted my thoughts and demanded my attention. It seems this blonde was trying to get the Editor's attention. Instead of going over to his table, she blasted her comments about a fine picture layout across the Bob Inn. Not only did this emphasize her lack of manners, but also her lack of consideration for the Editor's

feelings as she made senseless confetti of the Ped in front of him.

I was left wondering how Miss Blonde knew so much about putting the paper together and why the Editor put up her trash. But the answer to my question came later when someone said that she found fault with every issue.

I am only grateful that none of the administration were showing prospective students the Bob Inn. Can you imagine the impression they would have gotten about the Editor's capabilities, the Ped. and the college in general?

Let's face facts people! How can you expect companies to advertise in the Ped and bring in the money necessary to, improve the Ped or be able to recruit any new writers with this type of "help?" ·

A Big Step Toward Democracy

Want to see alcohol legalized on campus? Do you W{lnt courses in yoga and belly-dancing offered at PSC? Can you think of a faculty. member who is doing a ter-r-rlble job? Someone who never meets classes and puts out his cigarettes on ungraded test papers? Or a great teacher who makes a period pass like ten minutes? Someone who showed you that you could do things yc;>u'd always thought were beyond your abilities?

Want to do do something about it?

Starting April 23, PSC will have a student advisor on the Board of Trustees. You will have a voice. The Board decides matters affecting college policy, but in the past It has had very little actual contact with students.

Three names will be submitted to Governor Exon by the SGA. He will choose one of them to be the student advisor from PSC.

If you feel that something needs changing .tell your student advisor. Better

petition.

If you don't tell anybody what you want, you can't expect anyone to know. Putting your opinions on the line leaves you open to criticism from lots of people. Some of them will be older and smarter than you are. It's easier to complain to your friends. Even If they disagree, they'll do It gently.

The problem with that Is that you don't learn very much. You never learn how much value your Ideas and opinions have for other people. You never learn how opposing views are justified. All you get Is a little consolation.

The Board of Trustees Is part of your government. Now it Is offering to make itself mo.re democratic by giving you a voice: You can use tl:tat voice to advocate change you feel Is needed. If your Ideas don't always gain approval, It won't really hurt you.

Of course, If you feel strongly about something but you really don't want to do anything about It you can always suck your thumb.

According to Letts, student ce.nter administrators are trying to change the image of the building from one of a "food center" back to one of a student center. The Coffee House effort recently was an experimental attempt to meet this goal.

Around the world, no matter what the language, the word "mother" means love. And on Mother's Day, countless families show their loving gratitude by sending cards and giving gifts. But in the 38 developing countries where CARE operates, needy mothers and their families need more than love to survive daily hardships. They must have food and vital rural development projects to work their way out of poverty. '

A contribution to CARE in your mother's name, or any woman dear to you, will send food and aid to destitute mothers and their families for food-growing and other such projects. For example, two dollars serves 12 children a daily bowl of nourishing porridge for a month; five dollars gives 1,800 children a cup of protein-enriched beverage; $10 provides a group of needy farmers two full days' expert training and supervision to grow more food; $15 keeps a hard-working CARE-MEDICO nurse on duty a full day treating patients and training other nurses.

Your mother will receive an attractive CARE card notifying her of your special tribute on Mother.'s Day. The card will be mailed directly to her or to you, as you prefer. The message is equally appropriate for mothers of friends, grandmothers and mothers-in-law.

Contributions may be sent to Mother's Day Plan, CARE, Room 15, 3600 Broadway, Kansas City, Mo. 64111. Give your name and address, the name and address of each "woman honored (minimum two per instructions for catd Jiaildliilg. If you wish cards mailed directly, state bow each is to be signed. Make checks out to CARE, Inc. Order early to assure eard deliveries in time for Mother's Day, May 9th.

of adepressed economy. These combined psychological urges, wben translated into increased spending, will stimulate the economy.

Hahn warned, however, that any political or problem suffered by most countries of the world would also affect the United States because of this country's political and economic prestige. "All problems are related on the international level" Hahn said.

With particular regard for the election, Hahn noted few differences between the competing parties. 'JI do not think there is any essential difference (in parties), and of course there is not any vital difference." He added that ideally the Republicans advocate less governmental interference while the Democrats are more concerned with general or collective welfare, but in reality the party differences are not this pronounced. The ·Democratic Party is characterized this year by a small army of Presidentiid candidates. This, one would assume,· is a result of diverse views within the party, Hahn said, however, that this is not necessarily the case. He cited "personal political ambition" and "lack of political unity" within the papty, as responsible for many splinter candidates this year.

Hahn compares the Democratic Party's condition this year with the 1972 campaign when a similar dispersion of unity. sealed a Republican victory. "Ideally -the party should get behind the party convention winner," Hahn said, ' but the followers ofthe losing can.di dates ·are· not always ·willing to back the winner simply because he represents the party.

A situation arising out of this dilemma is characterized by the increasing numbers of "independent" voters. According to Hahn, prior to World War II, 80 per cent of the electorate voted a straight party ticket, but during the 1968 election only 43 per cent voted a straight ticket. Hahn predicted thatin November, 50 per cent of the voters will vote for "the candidate" rather than for "the party."

Ronald Reagan's approach to the campaign has, from the start, and continues to be, very optimistic. But after a string of defeats in the early primaries, what is Reagan's purpose in continuing? Hahn said that through all the optimism there are signs of lost momentum, but he also stressed the importance .of a competing candidate in the Republican Party. He contrasted the Jl,epublican situation with that of the Democrats: in both cases the parties are in danger of losing votes; the Democrats because they have too many candidates and the · Republicans, should Reagan drop out top early, because they have too few.

Band Conc-ert Tour Held April 12-13

The Peru State College Concert Band recently went on a two-day concert tour of Central Nebraska, April 12-13.

The 51-member band ensemble traveled more than 450 miles in performing concerts at high schools in Rising City, Scotia, Osceola and Wahoo, Nebraska.

It was "rise and shine" for the PSC band members as they loaded their two buses and four cards and left Peru at 7 a.m. April 12. The band "convoy" led by Phil "Leadfoot" Rogge, arrived in Rising City and performed a conert at 10 a.m. in the Rising City High School gym. After a quick lunch, the PSC band packed up, and left for Scotia, Nebraska.

Even though two cars of the had engine trouble, the PSC band ensemble arrive<l in· Scotia on schedule and performed a 2 p.m. concert in the Scotia-North Loup High School gymnasium.

New officers are Wayf!e Young--president; Jeanne president; and Jodie Henning--secretary.

they re-packed their vehicles and left Scotia at 8 a.m. April 13 for Osceola, Nebraska.

Ninety minutes later, the PSC band group arrived in Osceola and performed a 10 a.m. concert in the Osceola High School gym. After another quiek lunch, the band members took off for their final concert tour stop in Wahoo, Nebraska.

In Wahoo, the PSC band performed a 2 p.m. concert at the Wahoo Neuman High School gymnasium.

The tired members of the PSC band ensemble, after performing five concerts in two days, left Wahoo and arrived in Peru around 6 p.m. April 13.

According to Dr. Gilbert E. Wilson, Director of Peru State College Concert Band, this year's tour was the best concert tour the PSC band has had since the tours were started in 1957.

"It was one of the best concert tours we ever had. we performed well at all places. I think our best performances were at Osceola and Wahoo Neuman, where the sound acoustics were good," Dr. Wilson said. "We really enjoyed our overnight stay at Scotia. The townspeople

came out and made sure we had a good time in Scotia," be said.

Dr. Wilson described this year's band as "the best band PSC has had for the last 10 years." The. strong student interest in the :g).USic program at PSC is evident as 22 of the 51 band ensemble members are, non-music majors.

Dr. Wilson commented that he really enjoyed this year's concert tour for several reasons.

"This was the mast enjoyable concert tour I've h.ad since we started the tours in 1957. The band, especially the percussion sectiQn, worked together, played together and responded musically during the tour. The tour was so well organized that my only worry was conducting the music," commented Dr. Wilson.

Dr. Wilson fen the com:ert tours helps to sell the public image of Peru State College. He stated that when people listen to our band, they are impressed by .our polished performance. This gets them interested in Peru State, and hopefully they will visit PSC and decide to enroll here.

Stewart, Busy in BB Recruiting

With the college basketball season just getting over, people start looking tO spring sports. But Coach Jack Stewart's season has just begun for the '76-77 basketball season. Recruiting is in full swing with colleges trying to sign the top basketball players to attend their colleges in the fall.

"We are trying to siill 14 ballplayers right now," says Stewart. "Quickness and speed are two of the things we are looking for when we recruit a ballplayer. We want people who can play defense as well as shoot."

Of the 14 prospects on the list, seven are from Nebraska, two from Northeast J.C. The other five are from the eastern part of the state.

On the out-of-state list, there are two from Louisiana, two from Kansas and three from New York City. Of.those people

there are two cenW!i, both 6'8", seven forwards and five guards.

"We feel we have a very good chance of signing all 14", says Stewart. "We want each ballplayer to come in and take a look at the campus before the fall to help the player make up his mind. We want players not only to come in the fall, but want to stay after they are here."

"I tell each recruit that he is expected to attend class not only to stay eligible but to become a PSC graduate."

Coach Stewart also has received many calls about students wanting to try to make the team as walk-ons, which he says is a benefit to the program, having as many people as possible try out for the team.

''It's a little eatly to name any players," says Stewart, "but things look good for the '76 recruiting year."

Kosch Komment

by Larry Kosch

I Guess what?.1 Our rough, nerve-wrecking Highway 67 leading to Peru is not the Number One Worst Highway in the nation anymore. It's been replaced by "Cowpath USA," a miserable, treacherous six and onequarter mile stretch of U. S. Highway 75 between Copan, Okla. and the Oklahoma-Kansas border: - ·

In a recent feature story about "Cowpath USA," the April issue of National CB Truckers' News cited several shocking statistics about U.S. Highway 75: ·

-only 18 feet wide with muddy sod shoulders

-pavement edges deteriorated: dropoffs are six to eight inches deep

-chug holes six to seven inches deep all over the road

-rated a 36 on safety scale (100-perfect road, 70-adequate for safe travel)

-average daily traffic is 2,600 vehicles (10 percent are trucks)

It's now wonder why truckers and car drivers dislike this particular stretch of road. When two eight-foot wide, 18-wheel semi-trucks pass each other on less than nine-foot wide highway lanes, both drivers have to drop their outside wheels off the pavement to pass each other safely. Then, they have to fight theil'. 36-ton rigs back up over the six to eight inch dropoffs of the highway edges; ruining their truck tires.

I'm thankful that our Highway 67 is not as bad as "Cowpath USA" is. But, it still takes a concentrated effort to drive the seven-mile stretch of Highway 67 safely and arrive in one piece (both you and the car)

And, it's going to take a larger concentration of effort to convince the State Highway Department that olir Highway 67 is overdue for replacement. The city of Peru and Peru State C::Ollege have put up with it long enough without complaining about it.

If nothing is done, H.i&ll\VaYJi7 will get worse than its present condition, untold damage and losses will occur, and Certificate of Highway 67 Survival awards will be presented to PSC graduates.

SCB Minutes Spring Week

The Student Center Board ' met in regular session April 19, 1976 in the West Dining Room. Fifteen members and Mr. Letts were present. President Becky Niday called the meeting to order at 5:20 p.m. The minutes of the last meeting were approved as read.

Committee reports were then given: Public Relationsminutes have been turned in to the Ped; Social-no action; Hospitality-nominations were held last week for Spring Week Royalty and elections will be held Wednesday, April 21 and Monday, April 26. Pictures will be taken this week. No write-in candidates will be allowed. Bracelets ana flowers have been ordered. Coronation will be held at 10 p.m. April 26 during the dance featuring April Monday (from 9-11:30 p.m. that night in Neal Hall); Publicity-no action; Food and Complaint-the new food service manager was not present, and the chocolate milk tasted like coffee; Calendar-no action; Cultural-"Magnum Force" has been rescheduled for Friday, April 23; Special Projects-no action; Recreation-no action; and SGA-no action.

Bills will include the bracelets and flowers. Old business included the car rally (more people are needed to participate) and the raffle tickets for the gift certificate at Duffy's have been reduced to fifty cents each or two for seventy-five cents. Student Programs will meet Thursday, April 22 at 4 p.m. The top 25 movies will be discussed and the list will be distributed to students later.

New business: it was decided to have a water balloon throw costing fifty cents or three for one dollar. Only a few people have signed up for the talent show and the Board urged everyone with some serious talent to_ sign up right away. Prizes will be awarded. There is no entry fee for the contestants but the audience has a 25 cent admission price. Only three teams have signed up for the "Almost Anything Goes" contests, so no preliminaries will be held. The contests will be held in the Oak Bowl on May 1 at 2:00 p.m. Becky will speak to President Pearson about declaring April 28 as "Grub Day" (so you can wear your best old clothes).

The meeting adjourned at 5:40 p.m

HIGHLIGHTS OF AMERICAN HI STORY

WASHINGTON'S 'FAREWELL TO HIS OFFICERS

I': Graduate School:

Will A Ph.D Get A Joh??

(CPS)-Graduate school. The name itself rings prestige and upward mobility. Put a Ph.D behind your name, and people will be clamoring for your time and advice. A peaceful life in the isolation of academia awaits graduates of graduate school. Or did, until a few years ago , when graduate schools started producing Ph.D's much faster than the country needed or wanted them. The college boom of the sixties when universities needed graduate assistants for teaching and research had faded by then and the economy was closing down on academic ' resarch.

The debate was on. Should graduate schools continue to turn out specialists who would never find jobs in their fields just for the intellectual purity of the ·process? Or should gar· duate schools take notice of the real world and produce only what the economy could bear?

By Joan Russo

At Fraunces Tavern, still standing near New York's Wall Street; an emotional General Washington said good bye to the commanding officers of the Continental- Army who had fought with him for America's independence. Only nine days earlier the last British army units had evacuated New York under the terms of the Treaty of Paris. which had ended the long war. "With a heart full of love and gratitude" Washington said, "I now take leave of you. I most devoutly wish that your later days may be as prosperous and happy as your former ones have been glorious and honorable." As the officers raised their glasses, Washington continued: ". I shall feel obliged if each of you will come and take me by the hand."

Like the first man to do so, Henry Knox, Washington's commander of artillery, the rest followed were weeping. This-1tiStoric event was painted by Frederick Coffay Yohn, part of the collection of paintings owned by The Continental Insurance Companies. Washington then began his journey south to Mount Vernon and a return to family life which he had· put aside. to serve his country. Stopping at Annapolis where Congress was meeting, he resigned his commission there on December 23. His return to private life was to last only two years before he was again called to service of the new reublic.

They also suggested that graduate schools recruit a new clientele from older people who already have jobs in the community.

The Board suspected that many faculty and administrators of graduate schools would not find their report good reading and that they would resist the "changing emphasis in some graduate programs" suggested by their analysis.

COMING "Hindenburg"

The pragmatists who think graduate schools should be relev-ant beyond the campus boundaries are represented by the National Board on Graduate Education which recently published forecasts for graduate students of this decade. To be pessimistic, the report says, as few as one in ten Ph.D's will find work teaching at colleges and universities. That means that nine out of ten will. be "under-employed," working in trucks, factories and high schools.

By 1980, one economist predicted there would be at least two Ph.D's for every job that is closely related to the education provided·m graoua,te school. The growing scarcity of jobs for people with graduate degrees has borne this out. For instance in 1'968; ·3.9· percent of Ph.D. recipients in English were still jobless when they got their degrees. In. 1973, 21.5 percent were unemployed when their degrees were awarded.

The National Board, which has been studying various aspects of graduate education for three years, urged universitites and students not to go to graduate school because they think the economic picture will brighten in the next decade. That unrealistic hope will only result in wrenching and extremely damaging downward adjustment in the 1980's.," the Board concluded.

Tlie Board prescribed big doses of honest analysis for

Indeed, deans of 51 major research universitites dismissed the idea of designing graduate schools around the manpower needs of the country last November. In a report issued by the Association of Graduate Schools, the deans claimed that such a shift in emphasis from the purely intellectual to the reality of the economy would "violate our tradition of individual choice in a free society." The individual student, the deans went on to say, should be the "primary determinant of graduate enrollment."

The Graduate Association ·report admitted that finding jobs for doctorates would be tough in the future and that prospective graduate students should realize the tough competition they would face even with their degrees. But "those who elect to pursue graduate study nonetheless should be welcomed for their disin· · terested dedication rather than denied the opportunity for advanced study."

The intellectual purists agreed that some changes in graduate schools were inevitable and in some cases wekome. More "non· traditional students''· ·with different kinds of g0alswoufd'be entering graduate schools and the deans agreed that new programs would have to be designed for them. But the "adjustment process," they warned, has inherent "dangers of overresponse, of underemphasizing the things that universities do best, and of neglecting the long-range contributions of scholarship."

Good judgment is the password to good driving.

Why Peruvians Are Bobcats

Have you ever wondered how Peru's athletic teams came to be known as Bobcats? Well, as tradition has it, this is how it happened.

In 1921, a fellow by the name of Baldy Wilcox, editor of the Ped at that time, started an agitation of the student body to find a suitable name and mascot for the school. Wilcox spent many sleepless nights groping for some name to represent the spirit, stubbornness and aggressiveness displayed by all athletic organizations of the campus. Up until this time the teams were known as the Peru Pedagogues, which as anyone can see is no name for an athletic team. Late one night, among his incoherent thoughts, he was struck with a inspiration. He jumped out of his bed and unceremoniously awakened his roommate to spring it on him. The name, "Bobcats," came from the phrase, "fight like a bobact," which, it seems, was one of the popular catch phrases of the day. The next morning it was subjected to the vote of the students, who enthusiastically accepted it. It has been used ever since.

"Our Beloved Bobcat"

Kosc_hKOmment

by Larry

Well, this is IT. It's the end of the line for the 1976 Spring Semester edition of the Peru Pedagogian. This will be our last issue until next fall when a new editor and his staff will take over the journalistic responsi- bilities. .-

Looking back over the long and winding road, I can see that the Ped had its share of tribulations and joys. Even though the Ped bas a budget, an inadequat.e darkroom and an apathetic staff, we were able ,to accomplish a few things. We were able to publish in-depth stories on the problems and issues relating to the Campus of A Thousand Oaks. Funded for only seven issues, we were able to put out nine issues, including a special eight-page Spring Week issue. The highlight of the 1976 Spring Semest.er Ped edition was the top-notch coverage of the Front Page fire last March.

This wrap-up issue is a little bit different as it includes flashbacks from past Ped issues. This is oui way of celebrating our nation's Bicentennial. Hope you'll enjoy reading these historical articles.

I hope that our Ped readers have put up with our shortcomings and enjoyed reading every one of our issues this semest.er. It gives me a real thrill to see a student on campus, busy reading the Ped and admiring the work of my talent.ed hands. That momentary thrill is worth more than the 20 hours of work I put into each Ped issue.

I don't know how to do this. I am at a loss for words in making my Ped farewell. Perhaps the simple knowledge that somewhere in this world, someone really appreciates the work I've done for the Ped will be sufficient.

The Geological Story of Peru

Geological history, like the · history of Noah, centers about a flood. Many ages ago, in a time known to the geologist as the Carboniferous, Peru was covered with a shallow sea. Rivers from the highlands to the east and the west poured in their waters, murky with sand and silt, till the bed of the sea was covered many fathOms deep with this stolen .deris. In. sandstone of our river blUffs today we may read clearly the story of that ancient sea. Where the waters were deeper far out from the shore, lime forming creatures of the sea foregathered, and, departing, left behind them many layers of limestone made from their bones and shells. In the red clay banks along the road west of the Burlington Station, just back of · Chas. Majors' bungalow, is a distinct record of the most ancient life Nebraska had. Here are fossils of that sea life that · thrived in Peru when the now venerable Appalchian Mountains were in their infancy, and the Rockies had not yet been upfolded.

In time this central sea receded, and weathering began on the fresh laid strata, still the even surface was despoiled and hills and valleys appeared. Again, in the process of time, came another invasion of the sea, from the south, with its slow .infilling with sediments lands. Since thattime Peru has been dry-may it continue so!

After a very long int.erval which must be measured in millions of years there occurred the most dramatic event in the making of Peru. In the region west of Hudson Bay, the snows of thousands of years accumulated till the weighty mass moved southward in the form of a continental glacier. Such a mass, over a mile thick, and scraped the surface over which it passed in its early course. As it advanced over

east.em Nebraska, it slowly melt.ed back, scattering the load of clay, sand and boulders, which it had plundered from the lands north of us. Most of the large boulders have long since decayed, except those of quartzite such as the large glacial boulder on our campus.

Peru has. been a much favored spot. The gifts of the .sea, of the glacier, and of the winds, have brought us wonderful prosperity. Soil, made by the disintegration of native rock, forms so slowly that depth of one inch of such residual soil is five hundred years in the making. We have received the accumulations of many regions, here, and in depth, durability, and variety of elements, our soil can compete with the rest of the world.

The river, too, has been at work, now cutting and now depositing along its banks. The flood-plain beyond the railroad station has been built largely in the last 50 years, by the deposition of river sediment in the inner curve of the meander.

Mountain making movements have affected us little. Our horizontally bedded strata have been_ only slightly distrubed. But the relentless wearing of run-off water, and the disintegrating action of wind, frost, heat and cold have roughened our surface to the st.eep hills we have today. They are now in the stage known a& "early maturity.'' Continued. weathering will wear · them down to the monotony of plains-but you and I will not be here to see it.

Why Peru,vians Are Bobcats

A cage was built for him on the south side of the Administration Building, and there he dwelt, an unwilling recipient of incessant visitors, who showered their aggravating attentions upon him. Could a fellow like him, symbol of courage, valor and aggressiveness spend all his time encouraging scatterbrain blondes, daffy redheads and the. like? Well, maybe some of the fellows did, but not old Bob. He was there for business, and so at times he was not so pleasant as he could be.

It was during his reign that some of the fellows swiped the fire siren from the hated Omaha U outfit-how that riled them up. They even had the nerve to announce their intentions of retaliating by kidnapping him, the mascot; but he didn't worry because the team sat up with him the whole night to protect him.

He did love to eat, too. The teams were tasting victories all over the state, so it was the best for him too.

He led a lonesome life, though, even if he did have a prince of a fellow in Billy Vance to take care of him. He had a path of two feet in width, the entire length of the side of his cage, facing the timber. Many

times he called fruitlessly, and caged again. trying iµ vain to call to a mate. On the evening of May 20, His calls were very weird, much 1938, old Bob died.

The First Ninety Years o.f PSC University Wanted

During the legislative session of the territorial government much juggling of'. votes; was taking place and the firial line up featured the state capitol in Lincoln (near a Southern Pacific railway depot), a state. university in the same town, and a Normal school at Peru. Important in the trading sessions was T. J. Majors, senator from Peru, who fought for the university to be placed at Peru.

Electives Granted

Trouble occurred at the school term the next fall as some students objected to the required course of study. A compromise was effected wherein the students were allowed to choose part of their

course of study while taking required" cotn'Ses.

Via wagons

The out"of-town students arrived in lumber with all of his or her belongings. ,Not many of the young. ladies had cookstoves in their rooms, so Saturday included a baking session for the occupants of several rooms.

Young men with sisters had an advantage over the other males, but reports showed that many of the young men became adept at cooking and housekeeping.

Wood Cutters

A regular duty of the men iil winter was to supply the heating and cooking wood for the still not complete buildings. A tarpaper roof was continually ripped open by the wind, and when rain came along the · students on the third floor had a dismal time.

"He who listens understands." - Old proverb

Men, women, blacks and whites are all being stung by these affliction8, experts say. The reasons, all agree, are complex and many, but disillusionment with politics, problems with the job market, confusion over changing sex roles and general dissatisfaction with "The American Dream" are mentioned by psychiatrists and counselors most often. Experts are quick to point out that many young people are living normal, healthy lives with no signs of emotional disturbances. But the number of people under 30 seeking professional mental health care

cults more than their peers who opted for more of a straight life in recent years, experts say. According to psychiatrists, these rebels are messed up because they failed to fulfill many of their expectations of the past decade.

An example of this group is ex-yippie leader Jerry Rubin. Rubin, 37, was one of the craziest of the crazies during the sixties who once urged teenagers to "kill their parents." Today Rubin is a mellowed.'.but author who has gone through drugs, yoga, acupuncture, rolfing, bioenergetics, Reidhian therapy, ES'P; psychic therapy, Arica, jogging, vitamins and natural foods. He has just written a book telling all about it entitled "Growing (Up) at Thirty-Seven."

Many experts say easy parents led many youths down the path to the couch. "To put it in simplistic, laymen's terms," says a California psychiatrist, "a lot of these kids were led to believe the world would be handed to them on a silver platter. They got spoiled by permissive parents and aren't prepared for acruel world."

Noted Harvard professor David Riesman agrees. "This generation of students are the -

has increased so much in recent years that specialists say the trend is significant and that it ·worries them.

Dr. Robert Brown, a psychiatrist in Virginia, found in a study that about one third of the young people he examined were "very depressed much of the time." A Pennsylvania psychiatrist estimates that 50 to 75 percent of today's mental hospital patients are adolescents and young adults. In Seattle, psychologist Karol Marshall says many of the young people she sees have a sense of "despair."

Why so much depression

1 among the young?" They are threatened by the future," Dr. Edward Stanbrook told The New York Times. "They see the possibility of not having jobs, not having a lot of things their parents took for granted. They see the possibility of not having an adequate role in society," Dr. Stanbrook added.

"They can't get the job they want," psychologist Marshall explains. "They have a sense of helpless11ess, directionlessness and purposelessness, and this deteriorates into depression."

A survey of mental health experts in 14 cities by The Times found that emotional problems were most acute 'among young people who had \rebeled or "dropped out" of Isociety during the 1960s. These

people are turning up on pysychiatrists' couches most frequently, and they are taking ·to alcoholism, drugs, suicide and religious and astrological

first to be raised by permissive, professional parents," he says. "They've told these youngsters that the idea is to be happy, to be fulfilled." But Riesman adds, "you achieve happiness because of what you are doing or have done/not because you wish to be happy."

On campus itself, college counselors are finding disillusionment welling up in many students who have not rebeled or "dropped out." Ironically, the fact that these students liave stayed within the system makes them feel that the system is betraying them when they look towards graduation and see a bleak, empty job market.

This year, over 250 studentswill take their own lives and another 750 will try to. Suicide is currently the biggest campus killer next to accidental death. The National Center for Health Statistics reports that the suicide rate for people aged 20 to 24 leaped from 8.9 per 100,000 persons in 1965 to 15.1 per 100,000 in 1974. For the 25 to 49 age bracket, the rate jumped from 11.3 per 100,000 to 15.9

Again, the reasons, according to campus shrinks, are shotdown dreams. "College is a ruthless gardener," comments a UCLA social worker. "When a student realizes that his dreams may not bear fruit, that he can't be a great writer, lawyer, doctor or accomplish great ·social change, then there is a sudden sense of failure, stressful fear of disappointing one's parents."
