layburn-Matthews / orm ·Offers All-Day Visits I

John Billings, dorm director Clayburn-Mathews, has annced that the Student Affairs Uommission voted last Wednesday to try 24 hour visitation for a semester.

Both Davidson-Palmer and 'Clayburn-Mathews became codorms last May which is ptoving successful. Clayburn.Mathews will now try 24 hour ·Visitation.

·· It will be up to the students of Clayburn-Mathews to behave properly and show that they are able of being treated like adults. If they cannot deal with ·';lhe responsibility. then the privi-

Notice

lege will be revoked at the end of the semester.

The reason that this type of housing is being tried is in an effort to assimilate the environment that the student will be living in when he leaves the college camplJS and help him learn to deal with it. John Billing's statement to the Student Affairs Commission sums up the purpose behind visitation, "We must live life now; how we will live life in the future, or when we live in the future, our lives will have no merit, no purpose, and no reality of experience."

Bobcats Drop Opener; Applejack This Week

The Midland Warriors capitalized on an early Peru mistake to score quickly, then battled the Bobcats throughout the contest to take a hard-fought 17-0 win at Fremont Saturday.

· The highly-regarded Warriors played solidly throughout but couldn't break the game open as they did in last year's 54-26 contest. The season opener for both teams left the series record at 26-9-2 in favor of Peru.

Midland came up with a fumble recovery on the first series of plays to give them the ball deep in Bobcat territory. After a short drive, 1975 Nebraska college scoring leader Dexter Brown scored from the three and Midland had an early 7"° lead.

Unable to mount a consistent drive, the Cats saw Midland score on a 20-yard field goal in the second quarter to boost their margin.

tration at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.

De Mers mov.ed to Peru from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. His educational background includes a specialist in education degree in educational administration, a master of science in curriculum and instruction and a bachelor's degree in social science.

Reed has submitted his doctoral dissertation in inorganic chemistry to Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. He earned his bachelor of science degree in chemistry at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. He is Peru State's new instructor of chemistry and physics.

Quade this year completed his master's degree in business at Mankato State University. He has been named instructor of business in the division of applied arts.

According to Janet Clutter, full time student and manager of the game room, common sense behavior will be stringently enforced by work study personnel in the game room and hall directors in the dorms. Violators will be referred to Paul Stubbe, dean of student services. Violators may be barred from the facilities, subject to compensatory fines and dismissal from school.

Clutter, who acts as a liaison between the college and Vend-0Mation Vending Co., said the college receives a percentage of the company's concessions. "It is, therefore, in the interest of the college, as well as the vending company, to keep the machines operating," she said.

From that point until about three minutes remained, the Bobcat defense was forced fo bend but never broke. Lightening-quick runners Dexter Brown, Rick Klug, and Jim Talbert moved the ball for large gains but were consistently denied scores by the scrappy Bobcats.

Then, with 3:34 to go, the quarterback hit Klug with a 30-yard touchdown strike to seal the victory.

Bright spots for the Bobcats was the rushing of sophomore Todd Nelson, who gained 80 yards, and quarterback Kevin Niday, who had a 75 per cent completion in limited action. Defensively, freshman Dennis Solo led the Cats with 11 unassisted and two assisted tackles. Junior Paul McCune hauled in two passes for 32 yards, and punter Gary Rosenbeck averaged 44 yards on six punts.

College Is Reaccredited

Re-accreditation through 1981 has been granted to Peru State College by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, announced President Douglas W. Pearson.

2. To work with Brad Harr and Admissions Department to boost enrollment, tours, college days at high schools, etc.;

3. To expand the publicity to let the students kriow what the SGA is doing;

The ideas are good, but can the SGA accomplish these and other responsibilities? You can help. Get your club to help out and start some of your own programs. As for SGA, expect to see what they have accomplished or .not accomplished in this paper.

Staff Stress

By Tom Thomas.

The realization that fall is :oming strikes home as the annual Applejack game, to be played Sept. 18, gets ever closer.

As some of you may remember, last year's Applejack game was close as Peru and Tarkio battled for a win which would put PSC one step nearer to its second permanent Applejack trophy. (Peru acquired the first trophy by compiling three consecutive victories in the last three bowls.) With two more concurrent wins at Applejack, Peru could reJain yet another monument.

· Played in 83 degree weather with lots of sunshine, last year's game was tense. The two teams fought

and gained seven yards apiece, Peru in the first quarter and Tarkio at the end of the third Quarter.

The fourth quarter· was the decisive one. PSC's 35-yard pass in the final min.utes of the quarter put the ball on Tarkio's 12. With a powerful drive, PSC put the ball across for a f i na I score of 13-7.

PSC once again was victorious, bringing the second trophy a little closer to the trophy case where the first orie now resides.

The game this year promises to be a good one as the ever practicing Bobcats spring into action and battle Tarkio on our "own" field for a_ victory.

By Bob

Several people have stated that there are no activities in Peru to participate Jn. Bunk. Hogwash. Et cetera.

In the Catendar of Events in this paper you will find a list of things happening on campus in the coming week. If you want to complain, go to one of the club meetings and become a member.

Then, when no one is looking, simply take over the club's presidency and make the policy changes so that the club will be doing more things. Now that you control the club, advance your control and become a member of the SGA and a member of the Ped staff.

JWhen you return next fall, take over the SGA and the Ped. Now, you have control of the voice and governing of the students; make all

the clubs hold weekly activities and go out and have a good time. But watch out, somewhere someone may be planning his own take over of what you have. ·

In the event that you have friends that you want in on it, have each friend help out. That way you could take over the club, SGA, and Ped all at the same time and not gain attention. Then again, maybe .we could all get motivated and just change the system to include activities. _

Let's all go to the Applejack game and then the dance at Neal Hall. On Sunday morning we wil! meet at the church and hear the Tarkio Gospel Singers and then go to Neal Park and eat a free- picnic lunch.

If you can't do these simple things, then don't say anything.

Today, Peru State boasts a younger and more vibrant administration and faculty, with just enough "old guard" conservatives to strike a natural balance and keep everyone awake.

An apparent good example was the Belle of Brownville cruise Aug. 28. Brainstormed by two new administrators and sponsored by the unmatchable Duffy's Inn, it showed faculty and students can intermingle socially. It was an attempt to break down the old id.ea

.that, like dogs and cats, teachers and kids are "natural enemies."

A happy student body will keep them coming back to Peru. It. also aids the recruiting program, which could use all the help it can get. More students for Peru means more state support, which has been at best disappointing in recent history.

Mr. John Billings has been named the new dorm director at Clayburn-Mathews. Besides being in charge of the rooms _and any disagreements that might occur he also counsels students and help them with their homework.

John has been instrumental in bringing about some phenomenal ideas at Clayburn-Mathews. The first of these ideas is a guest-in-residency, in which all of the faculty and administration will be invited individually to spend a night at the dorm.

Students are now being given the choice of having a telephone in their room.

Students also will be allowed to paint their rooms. They may choose from 15 colors and will do the painting themselves. The paint, brushes, and drop cloths will be supplied by the college and when the student is finished his work will be inspected by a member of the maintenance crew. If anything is damaged a fee will be assessed against the student.

Also, people from Brandies department store in Omaha are going to come to ews with ideas for accessories, within the student's price range, to go with the furniture already in the rooms. Then the next day

In the 3 of 5 game match, Peru dropped the opener 14-16, but came back to win 3 straight games, 15-7, 15-9, 14-10, to close the door.

Peru's young team, 3 sophomores ·and 3 freshmen, played well the first game using power spikes and good serving to keep the game close. However, well placed spikes and heads up positioning by College of St. Mary won the game.

In the next three sets, the Bobkittens started to play their game using power spikes and <links effectively at the net.

Janet Ahern and Cindy Harmon either drove the ball to the baseline or dropped the ball over the attempted block by St. Mary. Jean and Julie Hartman and Sue Ullsperger also had a good night offensively at the net. Deb Kelly, Pam Peters and Desi Kline displayed potential and will be a threat before the season ends. Defensively the entire team placed the block at the precise time, with Cindy Harmon, Julie Hartman and Desi Kline leading the way. The home opener will be Wednesday Sept. 22 when the Kittens will meet, Northwest Missouri State at 6:00 p.m.', and Doane College at 8:00 p.m. Doane and NWMSU will play at 7:00 p.m. All matches are 2 of 3 games. The ticket gate at the College Gymnasium will open at 5:15 p.m.

Bob .Bebout

Writes- National FFA Music

An original musical composition by Peru State College sophomore Robert L. BebOut of Nebraska City, Nebraska, has been accepted for performance at the National Future Farmers of America Convention this November at Kansas City's Kemper Arena.

Current plans call for Bebout to direct the National FFA Choir and Band during their performance of his song before an expected audience of over 20,000 convention delegates from all 50 states plus Puerto Rico.

"The only way that his music will not be performed is if the students cannot play it to a performable standard," said National FFA Band Director Roger C. Heath of Virginia Tech. "It then will be carried over for performance next year."

Bebout is attending Peru State College on a full tuition scholarship for special ability in music, said Dr. Gilbert Wilson, Professor · of Instrumental Music. This is the first time a Peru State student has received this type of national recognition, he said.

! This original drawing by Peru' State Art Instructor Paul Fell will be found on T-shirts to be sold Saturday at the Bluegrass Festivat behind the Centennial Complex, proceeds going to the Student Center Board.

The band marched at the Richardson County Fair in Humboldt last Friday and performed twice during the Applejack festivities the following day.

On Oct. 9 the band will lead the Homecoming parade in Peru. In the afternoon they will entertain the alumni before the Peru State-Benedictine game. The following week the band will play during the Chadron State game in the Oak Bowl.

Keeping with the tradition set last year, the band will accompany the team on an away game junket. This year they travel to Wayne, Nebr. on Nov. 6 to perform their routines at the halftime of the Peru StateWayne State game. The band will close out their season at home on the afternoon of Nov. 13, when the Bobcats host the Doane Tigers.

The young composer decided to attempt a composition after performing a trumpet solo at last year's national convention, he said. He recorded his new song and submitted the taping to the national band director who selected it for this year's event.

Bob is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard R. Bebout.of Nebraska City. Following graduation, he plans a career in music education with free-lance compositon as a sideline.

At an emergency meeting of the SCB the homecomi.ng theme, "Wasted Days. and Wasted Nights-Not At. Peru" was dropped and a new theme, "Rainbows of · Autumn" was adopted. This change came when an. "estimated" three-fourths of the students stated· a disliking to the old theme. However, though the meeting room was crowded, no more than fifty students attended.

The above facts are true, the only question that remains is: Where were you Thursday evening?

Every. student on the PSC campus is a member of SCB and has the right to vote at the

meetings. Though the original theme may not have been the best, you had a chance to vote on what it should have been and you had a chance to decide what the new theme was to be.

The next meeting of the SCB is to be helq on Monday, September 27, at 6:00 P.M. in the student center. The next meeting of the SGA is to be held on Thursday, September 23, at 5:30 in the West Dining Hall. Though you can't vote at the SGA meetings, you can voice your opinion on what is to happen_

"We felt it a necessity to aid.our recruiting program," a KSC spokesman said, adding that the students could easily convert them into bathtubs, fish aquariums, or scale models of the Atlantic ocean for study in their dorm rooms.

Also announced was $171 million given to the University "to do whatever they want to."

When questioned about the apparent imbalance of state funding, state spokesman Mel Bland told Ped reporters "the idea that the state treats the big boys specially is b.unk."

The new basketball is being hailed as a major turning point for Peru. The athletic department is now drumming up support for

New York - Despite the availability of billions of dollars of aid for college students, many potential recipients may not be getting maximum benefits because they lack the know-how to cope with the system.

A student advisory committee to the College Entrance Examination Board found in hearings in seven states that the lack of information was the greatest problem facing students in getting financial aid.

"Nobody knows the policies they work under and nobody knows why they got what they did," a student is quoted in a report by the College Board, "It's just a gift from God, or something."

The difficulties exist all down the line along which financial aid is supposed to be channeled to students, according to many of the 250 students who testified.

They said forms were numerous and complex, that coordination was lacking among offices dealing with admission, aid and campus employment and that aid officers did not provide enough counseling.

The report says students_ who .fare least well are those with the greatest need.

They "are least likely to learn about the system and least able to overcome the hurdles of forms, annual financial aid need analysis and repeated trips to the financial aid office," the report says.

The problem of getting information has grown increasingly complex as programs have expanded and regulations have become more involved.

Some students say they do not apply for assistance because of the thicket of red tape. Meanwhile, government agencies say the paperwork is necessary to assure taxpayers that the funds are distributed .,roperly.

The brunt of the work in providing information and processing aid applications, as well as the bulk of the criticism for failures in the delivery of aid, fall on the financial aid officers, who as a group may be the ·lowest-paid and busiest academic officials.

The committee recommended that Washington require that part of the aid funds be spent to disseminate information.

State representative Bland said, "We will take a close, unbiased look at these (Peru) budget requests, and discard the frivolous ones. After all, we can't be everything to everybody. And besides, we must keep the big happy."

Wayne State Wonts 20%Funding Boost

Wayne State College will ask for a 20 per cent increase in funding for 1977-78 when it submits its budget request sometime 'before the Sept. 15 deadline.

The total appropriation for the current fiscal year is $4,604,190. The amount. which will be requested for 1977-78is $5,525,536 -an increase of some $920,000.

A pair of items-utilities and salaries-account for more than two-thirds of the requested increase.

i:he utilities appropriation sought is 6.5 per cent higher than that for 1976;77, or an increase amounting to about $297 ,000.

Both major suppliers of utility services-Energy Systems, and the City of Wayne-announced increases earlier this vear. the case of the city, a new rate •0 1.ructure .will mean WSC will experience about a 107 per cent rate hike for electricity.

The largest increase for

utilities requested by any of the ·other state college campuses is 1.6 per cent. '

Wayne's increase for salaries, at 7.1 per cent, is the lowest· of any of the four state college campuses. In terms of dollars, WSC is asking for an additional.. $326,399 for next year, to pay for additional salaries, and for higher salaries. for existing employees.

Other categories .for expenditures, the percentage of increase requested, and the dollar amount of increase requested, are: operating expenses, 8 per cent; $36,005; transportation service bureau (new item), $1,456; supplies and materials, .4 per cent, $20,033; travel, .1 per cent, $2,473; capital outlay, .5 per cent, $23.1'14.

Funds requested for expanding programs are: women's athletics, .8 per cent increase, $35,200; increase; faculty adjustments, 1.9 per cent, $83,841;

counselors, .7 per cent, $32.590; facility rentals, 1.2 per cent, $60,000.

Categories, as a percentage of the overall increase represented, are: personal services, 35.5 per cent; utilities, 32.3 per cent; program expansion, 23.1 per cent; operating expenses, 3.9 per cent; capital outlay, 2.5 per cent; supplies and materials, 2.2 per cent; travel, .3 per cent; transportation service bureau, .2 per cent.

Compared to the $920,000 increase requested by WSC, Peru State is asking for $376,143 more, Chadron, $542,126 more, and Kearney, $1,133,896 more, for a total increase for the state college system of $2,972,331.

If those requests are approved, Wayne State's budget would be $5,524,356; total budget for the system would be $19,031,874.

Computer Service. Expanded; xpense_ Said To Decline

"Peru State Col)ege is going [rom horse and buggy days to the jet age iri terms of computer capability,"·· according to Dr. ';Iichael Stewart, College Vice President for Administration.

Dr. Stewart said that the current conversion from. a "third generation" IBM 1130 computer to a "fourth generation" Mohawk Data Sciences 2300 terminal connected by telephone lines to the giant IBM :370 Model 158 computer at the state capitol in Lincoln represents a pilot project to encourage more efficient use of data processing equipment among all State of ·Nebraska agencies. Peru is the first state college with remote'entry to the Lincoln computer center. The conversion was made possible through the cooperation of State Data Processing Administrator Ernest Kovaly and the Department of Administrative Services, Dr. Stewart said. It will result in increased capability, lower computer leasing costs and improved

computer science instruction facilities at the Peru campus, added the college's Director of Data Processing, Stanley Mccaslin.

Prior to the installation of the new equipment, Peru State College used its computer for registration, student records, internal budget· reports and various mailing lists. The NDS system will permit the addition in the near future of all accounts receivable for tire Business Office and student loan accounting. Prepared computer programs for many other college activities also may be used now that the college has access. to adequate data storage facilities, Mccaslin said.

Computer data storage capability is measured in terms of "bytes," with each "byte" representing one unit of storage such as a symbol or letter, Dr. Stewart said. The capacity for the old system totalled 16,000 "bytes," while the capacity of the 158 is two million. !>ytes.

"With the new system, we essentially have unlimited data storage capability," the vice president said.

Despite the greater capabilities of the new system, leasing costs are expected to decline slightly, Mccaslin said. The reason is that the new terminal has a lower leasing cost than the old computer system and Peru STate College will be billed only for the actual computer time used in Lincoln.

The college currently offers three com put er science courses to its students-Inttoduction to Data Processing, Fortran Programming and Cobol Programming. Certain elements of the Cobol computer language were too sophisticated for the. old system so the new tie-in to the capitol computer center will permit teaching the full language for the first time, McCaslin said. Once the system is in operation, Peru State College plans to re-evaluate its course offerings because expansion is now possi)lle, he added.

from general fund tax dollars, with the remaining $1,220,500 being provided by revenues, such as tuition, generated by the college.

System-wide, some $17 million would be from the state's general fund. ·

The only new item is the WSC request is $62,000 for curriculum development. WSC president, Dr: Lyle Seymour said the college wants to improve instruetion and develop new curriculum. The requested funds would make it possible for division heads, who now carry a half-time teaching work load, t-0 reduce the hours in the classroom so they could devote more time to curriculum development.

The money would pay salaries for faculty members to take over some teaching duties now carried by division heads, and would also provide for a curriculum development specialist in the college administrative department.

Requests for capital construction are $60, 000 for a greenhousebotony laboratory adjacent to Carhart Science Hall, and $35,000 to proceed with planning phase of a project to remodel the education building.

Each state college will sutmit its budget individually, but the board of trustees gives prior approval to the requests.

Budget requests will be reviewed by fiscal analysts for both the legislature and g-0vernor before the Unicameral goes into session in January.

The proposed offices, according to Stubbe, would occupy the "seldom' used" faculty and television lounges on the east side of the upper level in the building. He also said that the small stage (fishbowl) in the dining hall could be used as a career placement library.

The proposal has been ratified by both the Student Governing Association (SGAl and the Student Center Board (SCBJ and support has been given by Dr. Michael Stewart, vice-president of administration and Dr. Pearson. According to Stubbe, the decision is now up to the student body.

Continuing ed classes offered

Nine continuing education rourses are being offered at Peru State College and four southeast Nebraska communities this fall. according to PSC's

Director of Continuing Education Mrs. Mary Ruth Wilson.

Five of the courses have already started. They are "Estate Planning and Manage-

ment for Women," "Techniques for Teaching the Exceptional Child," "Real Estate Principles and Practice." "Creative Art Fundamentals in the Elementary Classroom." and Music.

The four new courses that are still open are "Advanced Techniques in Amateur Photography." taught by Chuck Smith at Falls City; "Ballroom Dancing," taught by Eldon and Susan Behrends at PSC's Neal dining room; "Introduction to Videotaping," taught by Paul Kruse on the PSC campus; and a workshop on pork production by the University of Nebraska Cooperative Extension Service on the PSC campus:

Registration information on these courses is available from the Office of Continuing Education, Peru State College, Peru, NE 68421.

Music was provided by Lincoln's "Sandy Creek Pickers," who treated the crowd to over four hours of fine country tunes. Later on, the "Cornhusk:er Cut-Ups" featuring Steve Hanson on banjo kept 'ti! almost 8 p.m. Because of .the weather, the festival was held inside Neal

Dining Hall behind the Centennial Complex. There proved to be plenty of parking space. and no trouble with authorities was reported.

People were treated to steaming plates of barbecued beef and "Boogie Hill" beans throughout the day. All proceeds went. to the Student Center Board to help finance future programs. Also sold to support the SCB were T-shirts with a Paul Fell design (see last issue) and the inscription "Where's Peru State College?" in an attempt to create better awareness of the school.

Future "Boogie Hill" type events are being considered. but no firm ideas or dates are set.

The posts and chain in front of the complex are both dangerous and useless and should be removed. Damage to cars and people can happen very easily.

Originally the space was to be reserved for custodian use; however, as far back as I can remember (pre-posts and chain) no custodian has parked there. If the area is not going to be used, then remove the posts and allow the visitors .to park. ·

This brings up another point:

LStaff Stress

By Lee Rademacher

When they tally a football hero's touchdown record for the season do they average in his English grade? When a star basketball player sinks a hook shot, does anyone question whether he can balance a chemistry formula? Why then does Peru State College average a student's grades from required physical education classes with his English and Chemistry grades.

Take for example the intellectual student who has little physical prowess. Basketbal Is come down on his head. Tennis balls hit him in the eye. On the golf course he hends

both arms and hardly ever keeps his eye on the ball. He will never incite ·the gladdened roar of the madding crowd or know the thrill of glutted grandstands screaming approval.

Why should his physical education grades be averaged into his academic average and be put on his transcript J:bat he will take to job interviews that will determine his future?

At Kearney State College all physical education requirements are graded as pass or fail and therefore do not influence the academic average-why not Peru?

Last week's "Booqie Hill" episode is now history, In it's rainsoaked wake, some questions come to mind.

It is pretty. much common knowledge that "Boogie Hill" received little support from the town of Peru itself. That is discouraging and a little peculiar, as the town had much to gain from it both directly and indirectly.

Perhaps the most dissappointing thing is some people's attitude. For the most part (and this goes for some of the faculty and administration also), people's minds were made up before the first banjo strain -that "the hill" was bad.

They never said who or. what it was bad for, but many believed with their whole heart that it was "Brownville Revisited." And while most folks are .quick to agree that Brownville last year was "bad," they begin to stutter when you ask them why.

Of course, "Boogie Hill" and the Fiddlers Contest are two different things, even if the music was largely the same. But 15,000 in Peru?

The town should be so lucky as to get 15,000 outside of RichardsonNemaha-Otoe counties that know

Jabout Peru. A little outside ex- · posure was good for the town.

"Boogie Hill" got a lot of TV and radio airplay in the form of public service announcements, which was great.

Peru, the town and the college, need an identity. This isn't to say that "Boogie Hill" was necessarily the answer. But it was the first attempt in quite some time to let people. know, "Hey, we're down here, come check us out." The "remember approach just doesn't work any more.

And the onimous fact remains: Peru without Peru State is "just anothedown." So you wonder why some people, even college people, were so quick to oppose the festival. Talk about biting the hand that feeds!

In "Boogie Hill's" low key· success there is hope. People are trying, and we'll keep on trying. "Boogie Hill" was called "the first thing I've looked forward to since. I've been here," by many students.

And it won't be the last. But we would rather do it with the support, rather than the curses; of the town.

This is not especially true. The whole country seems to be suffering from a contagious form of verbal dry rot. Have you ever heard a conversation like this:

"Hello, how are you?"

"Wrecked my car last week."

"Well, I'm so glad to hear it. How is your brother doing in school?"

"He was expelled last week for threatening his history teacher with a shotgun."

One known cure for the disease is· to use language for what it is at its best-communication and creative self-expression. Take more interest in the world around you so that you really mean it even when you use stock phrases like "How are you?" and "Whatcha doin?" or "Howzyer mother, father, hamster, sister, etc., brother, canary, etc?"

The words themselves may be a little trite, but the worst thing about how such phrases are usually used is the lack of feeling behind them.

If everyone would think about what he said, verbal dry rot might even disappear. What a nice dream. Everyone won't, but we as college students should. As reasonably well educated and intelligent human beings, we have no excuse for using language as a series of social noises.

[Letter to the EditorsJ

Dear Editor, People ask what is wrong with PSC. What can we do to change the outlook on campus and make for a more positive atmosphere? The former homecoming theme, ''Wasted Days And Wasted Nights," fit this college very well. Organizations of this college didn't take. the incentive to send a representative to the SCB meeting for the night they were choosing the theme, thus a terrible theme for homecoming came about. Then for the first time since I have been at PSC, a few organizations and individuals express their dislikes and thus through their help the theme was changed. If all organizations of PSC would take the incentive and become actively involved in the purpose of this college, then the theme "Wasted Days And 1 Wasted Nights" would

have seemed very obscure and remote and thus would never came to be.

What is wrong with PSC? I feel it is the negative attitude of the students, faculty, and administration, plus the lack of communication between these three groups is contributing to the downfall of this college. Until this changes, Peru State College will continue to decline. We the students can change this by becoming an active part _of an organization, plus have a simple change of attitude toward our purpose in this college.

I personally, would like to thank the organizations and individuals that expressed their dislike of the homecoming theme and took a stand to change it. Let us hope that this is a start in the change of attitude at PSC. ·

In the first volleyball triangle of the season, hosted at Peru State, the Peru State College Bobkittens romped over Northwest Missouri State University. in the first game of the evening, then suffered defeat aLthe hands ofDoane College in the nightcap.

In the opener, the PSC girls quickly captured a 5-0 in the first match, but lost the lead to NWMSU after a series of serving violations. Julie Hartman tied the match with 2:39 remaining but the clock ran out with NWMSU in the lead, 14-10.

The Bobkittens showed more aggression in the second and third matches with Deb Kelle taking the lad for PSC's offense, by driving home 8 of 11 sp!des through NWMSU's weakening defense. Janet Ahern and Jean Hartman led the scoring in the ··matches with 5 points for Janet in the. 2nd and 6points for Jean in the .3rd, as PSC bounced back and won the game 15-9 and 15-7.

Doane College then took the floor fo defeat NWMSU 15-12 and

15-10 in a battle of hard. driving spikes. The leading scores for Doane were Burge and Steinkuler, while Mack, McCormick, Albin and Withrow led the way for NWMSU. Wilson scored 8 points for Doane in the two matches while· McCormick scored 8 points also for the Bearcubs.

Doane continued the momentum in their second game, to hand the Bobkittens their first loss of the season, with scores of 15-7 and 15-1.

Hard, well-placed spikes and excellent serving ended both matches quickly as the fine effort which constituted a win in the first game for the Bobkittens, eluded them in the second game.

Pat Gilbert's Bobkittens now hold a 2-1 record for the season. The next home game will be Wednesday, October 6, at 6:30, as our Bobkittens take on ·the Nebraska Wesleyan Plainsmen in a 3 out of 5 match. Good luck girls!

But this year funds had to be appropriated, said Wendel. The floor was in need of patching and it had to be done this year. It was then decided that since the floor had to bE) repaired, more money should be appropriated and the whole floor should be replaced.

Who 'controls the U?

The question of who controls the University of NebraskaLincoln-the faculty, central or campus administrations-still kindles passions in the UNL Faculty Senate.

Developing a common calendar with the Omaha campus and refining a statement urging more faculty input into decision making, were the springboards for the governance issue as the senate Tuesday held its first meeting .the academic year. Both issues have been controversial.

"I don't oppose a common calendar," said engineering mechanics Prof. Donald Haack, "as long as it's our (UNL) calen-dar.

The senate agreed to have two members on a UNL-UNO calen-dar committee, provided the group is advisory and lacks power to impose a calendar on the Lincoln campus.

Prof. James Lake, noted the Law College doesn't abide by the UNL calendar. If it dfd, he said, it would lose American Bar Assn. accreditation because the calendar is three days too short for approval.

The senate ultimately passed a motion urging that the faculty

Priva.te schools match federal

Lincoln - Nebraska is one of six states that require private colleges to furnish matching funds to quality their students for federal grants under the State Student. Incentive Grant program.

the Constitution this November. Amendment 6, among other things, would make it legal for the Legislature to appropriate state funds to match the federal portion of the incentive grants.

Nebraska has received federal approval for its grant program. she said.

have more input into future University decisions. It was a slap at the systems office.

President D. B. Varner attended part of the senate meeting and explained how the systems office allocated cuts mandated by the Legislature in a bill authored by .Sen. John Cavanaugh. The Legislature, Varner said, did not expect the entire $1 million systemwide cut to come from central administration, even if Cavanaugh wanted it that way. UNL was cut $500,000, principally in student services and buildings and grounds. About 40 per cent of the cuts were at the systems level.

Forty others match the federal funds with state funds and provide grants to students at both public and private colleges. The remaining four exclude private college students from any participation in the federal program.

These figures were supplied to The Wcirld-Heraltl by the U.S. Office of Education in Washington, D.C. Lenora Smith, a program specialist, said federal law is sufficiently vague on administrative details of the program that "individual states can adjust to their individual problems."

Issue to Voters

Administration of the program has been injected in to a Nebraska campaign to amend

The Association of Independent Colleges in Nebraska has con tended that the grant program was intended by Congress to be a state-supported undertaking, with federal funds as an incentive to the states. But the State Supreme Court has held that the Constitution prohibits use of state funds by students at non-public institutions.

Five other states have similar constitutional barriers-or fund shortages-that prompted them to ask private colleges to furnish their own matching funds, Mrs. Smith said. They are Tennessee. Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina and Utah. States that exclude private college students from consideration are Colorado, Hawaii, Wyoming and Montana.

Society to study college material use

Marvin Kivett, executive director of the Nebraska State Historical Society, told members of the Society's executive board he had no problems to report.

The board approved the budget guidelines which call for an increase of $111,967 for the society's work from the Nebraska general funds. Total amount is $1,002,842.

The budget also calls for $330,120 in capital construction funds. "It's a very tight budget. We have not asked for anything we don't need." Kivett said.

A study will be done concerning the use of the societ)"s materials at state colleges.

The memorandum of understanding between the State Game and Parks Commission and the society concerning the reconnaissance, development and administration of state historical parks was discussed. The executive board voted that Kivett make the best agreement possible with the commission, but that he insist the wording be that there is only one historical organization in the state and the society has authority concerning such matters.

Input to be Sought

Kivett was directed to answer a letter from the Great Plains Black Museum concerning the

Black Herita)'le Committee and its activities associated with the society.

The letter will ask for input from the committee and from all other ethnic organizations in the state.

Elected to honorary membership in the society with all privileges and without paying dues are six Nebraskans who have been society members 50 years or more.

They are: Wendell P. Cheney, McCook, 56 years; Mrs. Gustave Houfek, Malmo, 55 years; Mrs. Earl Lionberger, Superior, 50 years; Mrs. C. Petrus Peterson ofLncoln, 57 years, and Mrs. Leo Stuhr of Grand Island, 56 years.

The independent college assoiation. which represents 11 private colleges and universities in Nebraska. recently received word from the office of Rep. John McCollister that the administration of the incentive grant funds program in the state conforms to federal law and administrative regulation. \o Challenges

"It's almost impossible to determine if congressional intent is different from what's happening." said McCollister's aid Helen Sramek. but she noted that "there have been no court challenges to the Department of Health, Education and Welfare's administration of the program."

Nebraska stands to receive $:l11.ooo in federal funds in the current vear. Private college students 'can receive $70,000 of that if their colleges furnish an equal amount. The money is awarded to students who exhibit substantial financial need. A student may receive up to $1,500 a vear.

Howard Dooley of Omaha, president of the independent college association, said the 1972 federal law setting up the state program appears to him to require that local matching funds be supplied by the states. He acknowledged word from McColister's office that HEW regulations allow contributions from "third parties" as part of the local share.

Dooley said he wouldn't be surprised to hear of challenges from Congress to that interpretation. But Mrs. Smith in the Office of Education said it is important in the early stages of the program to preserve as much flexibility for the individual states as possible. "The law neither prohibits nor requires application of the funds to private college students," she said. "This allows every state to participate, depending on their individual problems."

Aaron Larson new drum major

by Sheilla LaMountain

Drum major for this year's Peru State College Marching band is Aaron B. Larson, a music education major from Vermillion, South Dakota.

A drum major's job, states Mr. Larson, entails watching for details at halftime shows, rehearsals, and parades. Important details are watching .marching formations, and seeing if music and marching steps correspond. The drum major is responsible for this while the .band director watches the overall performance. The drum major also acts as a leader and directs the band through whistle commands.

This is Mr. Larson's first year as a drum major. He stated that he believes that the hardest ·thing about it is getting the confidence of the other members of the band, and self confidence when performing before the ,:public.

'Hot dog' season opened

by Teri Hailar

Autumn was officially ushered in Saturday, September 25, with the "Where's Peru State College" T-shirts and Boogie Hill. Autumn is the time for jackets, hotdog roasts, toasted marshmellows and football.

It also means that Homecoming is here. Our homecoming theme is "Rainbows of Autumn" and if you don't think .autumn has rainbows, then you should have attended the Boogie Hill concert held indoors at Neal Dining Hall because of the rain.

Autumn means that the maintenance crews will soon ' have colorful brown, gold, and crimson leaves to pick up, after everyone plays in thP.m <wtio can resist a pile of leaves?)

Autumn means that someone has to plan an end of the summer sandbar kegger (just to keep the end of summer official, of course!).

The footbafl game means that Circle K is hard at work providing the spectat.ors .with hotdogs with all tj:le trimmmgs, and delicious cocoa and coffee.

Enter a float in the parade, put your favorite young lady's name up for Homecoming Queen candidate, and go to the football game. The team needs spirit this year and not the alcoholic kind.

Cheer that football game until you are hoarse (cocoa, pepperc mint schnapps, and a warm fire will cure any sore throat.) Then go see the Homecoming play, Agatha Chris tie's "The Mousetrap," and relax. After the play, you can cure your Boogie Fever at tl:ie Homecoming dance featuring the Silverado's. Autumn means Homecoming, and Homecoming means fun!!

Far Out

By Lance Wilson

It is regretable that m.istakes happen, but they do. The mistakes is the Ped have been few but important.

Teri Hailar and Rod White did not resign from SGA but from SCB.

Kevin Hart was not an assigned member of SCB for SGA.

The SGA has not ratified the dean movement proposal, and President Pearson has made no statement in supp9rt of the proposal without a total plan first being suggested. The move should not be approved until the faculty lounge is moved to some new loi::ation.

Several of the continuing ed courses have been dropped since the news release was sent out.

KPSC transmitters are broken, but sbould be back in operation soon. /

These are the complaints that have come to my attention and are now rectified, at least in part. This newspaper has a shortage of staff and materials. Anyone that desires to work can contact a member of the staff; but, we want workersnot name holders.

This paper is attempting to be the best in quality, not size or popularity. Some i:irticles will be disliked by particular people.

For those of you that \Nish to continue to complain, do so. If you think that you will do a better job as the editor, then you can apply for the position and work for it.

The importance of a unified effort in supporting Dr. Pearson's gym proposal is of the utmost importance now.

For those who don't know the proposal, here it is:

It is being proposed that consideration be given to the renovating and remodeling of Majors Hall to accommodate all necessary and foreseeable activities in the area of health and physical education which can be handled with the existing structures. In order to complete the facility needs, an arena-pool complex will need to be constructed as an addition to Majors Hall to provide the gymnasium, indoor track and pool.

We are asking for your help NOW.

The best way for you to help Peru is by writing letter to your state senators (if you are a resident of Nebraska) and by writing to the two senators from this area. !Resident or not). Senator Irving F. Wiltse and Senator Calvin F. Carsten

Peru needs to have this proposal passed THIS year by the Nebraska legislature. Our gym stands a better chance if you and your parents write to your legislative representative and tell them how much this action is needed.

Please help Peru now!

One thing that is essential for a culturally well-rounded and intellectually balanced person is a basic understanding of several foreign languages. All of the other state colleges, Wayne, Kearney, and Chadron, have an entire department for teaching foreign languages. So do many of the other area colleges, like Doane, Northwest Missouri State and the Universities of Nebraska at both Lincoln and Omaha.

lineIt is next to impossible to read and fully understand many literary pieces because of phrases that are borrowed from other languages and are essential to the meaning of the story.

JWithout an understanding of French how many people could comprehend or even pronounce such common usuages as: coup de grace, laissez faire, faux pas, coup d'etat, and savair - faire? It is agreed that at the present time it would be unreasonable to expect Peru State College to finance a new department but how about a night class, for one night a week, taught by a professor from the University or even a volunteer from Peru or from the college staff? At the University of Nebraska foreign languages are considered so important to the intellectual development of the student that they are a requirement for graduation.

The Peru Prompt Response Line really works-try it. In the first week of use the Response Line received two suggestions and both of them were given immediate attention.

The first question came from Glen Stanton at Dezell. He asked, "Why isn't the swimming pool open on the weekends?"

The question was referred to the Athletic Department where Ms. Peg Groff said that a survey wi II be conducted during convocation next Wednesday at the Bob Inn and in the cafeteria to determine the times the pool should be open.

Editor's note to survey team:

Please indicate on the survey whether or not you will require swimming suits-or maybe wel" have a big old skinny dip at Peru State College-Yahoo!

QUESTION: My roommate and I have a Playgirl poster on the living room wall, and our dorm director told us we had to take it down. The guys all over campus have Playboy bosters up. Does he have the right to take ours down?"

ANSWER: Your question was referred to Dean Stubbe, the Housing Director, and he said, "No, you do not have to take the poster down. If you and your roommate have agreed thaf a Playgirl poster is what you want on your living room wal I, in your personal living quarters-that's 0. K." He further added, "You may have to pay for the damages incurred if you have visitors in your room and they feel threatened by the dimensions of your Playgirl candidate and knock your wal I down in frustration and anger."

Improvements on gym completed

by Tom Thomas ·

If you .have not been gymnasium since the begmnmg of the summer, you probably have not noticed the restoration project which took place over the summer.

The project was completed over a three month period. The first part, which took- place in late June, consisted of painting the ceiling. Ken White of ;, Nebraska City tackled the job

from a rolling scaffold. Polyester film was placed on the floor to prevent damage while the ceiling was sprayed.

The second phase of the project began with the purchse of new bleachers. The seats were manufactured by Universal Bleacher Company, and purchased from Hoover Brothers for $24,000. They were installed in July in one week and can be rolled against the wall when not needed.

Co-ed forms now available

Entry forms for coed and mens volleyball can now be picked up at the office in the gym. The deadlme for entry forms is October 11. The games will startOctobei: 14,

During his speech, Cooper outlined his campaign platform, much of it dealing with his proposed revitalization of southeast Nebraska. He characterized the area as being relatively poor. According to the statistics Cooper cited, the four counties; Richardson, Pawnee, Nemaha and Johnson, have an average per capita income of less than $10,000 per year. Comparing this to Douglas county's $14,000 per capita yearly income Cooper concluded that "we are at a point of turnabout in southeast Nebraska."

He cited close proximity to large cities, relatively high population density, available river transportation and strong financial institutions as ingred-

KPSC back:on the air soon

by Djane Uher Announcers for KPSC, the Peru.State College radio station, have been practicing the past weeks, said Dr. Irwin Bihgham, new speech and drama instructor.

Students ·started announcing September 20 but soon realized that they were announcing .just forthemselves. Many people were tuned in and ready to listen to the students but no one could .pick them up. In two days

everyone was asking, ''Where's KPSC?"

After a thorough investigation of the equipment, Bingham ·reported that some of it was in need of repair and that the transmitter was not working. Without the transmitter KPSC was officially ofLthe air. Bingham said that most of the radio equipment is old and "terribly run down." To combat this he is going to borrow some equipment from the library and modernize the studio. By doing this he said he hopes to give the stucfents more flexibility while broadcasting.

Commenting on why he thinks it is important to fix up the station, Bingham said, "The radio station is a useful lah for the students and is really worth having. Students need the practical training that the station provides and when the time comes for them to go looking for jobs, employers will look at applications twice if they, .have this practical training."

ients that make southeast Nebraska a promising.place for moderate industrialization It was to this end that much of Cooper's platform referred. He said that he will, if elected, advocate a formulation of a council for small community economie development. "Senator" Cooper would like to see thd development of an industrial park south of Brownville near the Cooper nuclear station. According to Cooper, however, a large source of surplus energy would need to be provided. He said he would support the construction of a second power plant to meet this need.

Cooper's opponent .is the first district Unicameral race is Nelson Merz of Falls City.

Meanwhile the equipment is being repaired by Dave Messing, ari engiheer in Nebraska City, and the amount of time it takes is unpredictable. Parts are hard to get because of the equipment's age and Messing's time is limited said Bingham.

KPSC plans to be on the air Monday, Oct.18, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., according to Bingham.

PSC uses their library

The Peru State college library has reported an increased use in NETCHE tapes and other audio-visual material.

Peru reportedly has twice the number · of students using audio-visual materials as the three other state coHeges. The media center has the minimal requirements for a closed circuit television, and no funds are available for other needed equipment, such as a multiplexer, projectors, and cameras. There are scheduling conflicts for video programs (nine a day) because there are not enough TV monitors to go around.

The television courses could use a video editor because the manual method now used shows a noticeable break in the film.

Over 200 videotapes were made on location last year, and with an increased faculty, the demand for the media center eouioment is exoected to rise.

11 a mult1plexer ano proiectors were acquired, the media center, could show 16tnm films, super 8mm films, slides, or filmstrips on closed circuit television. An evaluation of the library showed a weakness in the current periodical titles, science, and business areas. The 526 current periudical titles that are available in the library do not meet the American Library Association's requirement for 600 tltles listed as a minimum for a college library.

Because of a lack of space in the library and no building allocations, more microfilm and microfiche materials have been added to the library at a lower cost than bound books. The library budget is unable to pay the 50 to 75 per cent increase in bound books to make up for the deficiency in the science and business areas.

IA class builds Joy garage

by Diane Uher

Anew garage is being built by a Peru State College industrial arts class this fall for Jerry Joy, athletic director and head football coach at PSC. Joy will furnish the materials.

The building construction class, under the supervision of Mike McKibbin, industrial arts instructor, is building the garage as part of their classroom assignment. McKibbin said, "by building this garage, the class can combine the theory they receive in their text books with the. practical experience of building."

Joy .said. that. he learned· the

class was looking for a project while looking through the "blue sheet," a faculty newsletter. Joy said he was going to build a new garage anyway and that he has no worries about the workmanship of the class. "I am sure they will do a fine job," he said.

The body of the garage will be made of cement blocks and the upper portion will be made of wood. The new building will be located behind the Joy home at 708 Oregon Street and will cost approximately $1600. Construction began at the beginning of the semester and should be completed in November, Joy said.

Politicians large and small are· now scurrying about debate tables, football games, and street corners trying mightily to convince people they can be everything to everybody all the time.

No other institution on earth can compare with an election year in the U.S. for amount of promises made, garbage uncovered, and tales told. It is our political way (supposedly) of staging a "quiet revolution" to change our leadership.

RAP

Iby Lee Rademacher

The purpose of the student government is to represent the wishes of the students but it is impossible for this to be accomplished when the entire foundation of the association is crumbling and some of the members of the organization are not conveying the student's ideas.

These anomalies are being brought to light by the resignations of Kevin Hart as president of SGA, Teri Hailer as SGA secretary and SCB representative. Rob White as SCB representative from SGA, and Wayne Young as SCB president. In view of these resignations it must be admitted that there is something seriously wrong with not only SGA but also the entire governing association for students. The problems begin with the students. For there to be a strong governing body, there must be student support and involvement. There was only a 20 per cent turn out for the elections of SGA this year; with apathy like that it's hard for the few students that do care to accomplish much at all. Besides since none of the students come to the meetings and voice their opinions, how are the representatives supposed to know what they want-read minds? Anyway, the response with which SGA's ideas are met is so apathetic that one must wonder why they even continue to try other things.

According to Kevin Hart, Teri Hailer, and Rod White, there are members in SGA, one in particular, that are implementing their own ideas and not those of the students. Rod White said that Thomas Speight trys to do too many things and he goes through improper channels. It was also mentioned that he doesn't work with his committee, and he strikes out on his own. He doesn't consider the opposing views on a topic, only his own opinion. Teri Hailer said that he was responsible for much of the interference in SGA.

Thomas Speight must learn where his power lies and how to use it fairly and impartially. An example of the exploitation of his position is shown by his telling the newspaper he is going to withdraw their funds when he has absolutely no power to do such a thing. These opinions have been reflected by many or the other students.

Over the years there a .breakdown in the' s

the student government. It has reached a point now where the entire system needs revamped. There are too many parts of the government: Student Affairs, Student Government, Academic Affairs, Student Center Board and Student Programs that are overlapping each other. The entire organization is in chaos, not knowing where their power ends and another group begins. Consequently, they are all working on the same projects and end up not agreeing on anything and therefore nothing is done. At Wayne, Doane, Kearney, Wesleyan, and Midland there is one group in charge of SGA, SCB and Student Programs. Their objectives are clearly outlined, and their work gets taken care of very efficiently. In the words of Friedrich Von Baden: "Unity makes strength, and since we must be strong, we must also be one."

Kevin Hart and Teri Hailer both expressed regret at leaving · their posts on SGA, and although they had outside work conflicts that SGA interferred with, they felt that they had to take a stand against the ineffectiveness of the student government. Perhaps their regisna tions will bring about some new involvement and some changes in government procedure.

The Champs

The Peru State junior varsity exploded for 20 first quarter points enroute to a 34-13 thrashing of the Concordia Bulldogs at Seward Monday, Oct. 4. All of the Bobcat touchdowns were picked up by freshmen, led by two runs from Bill Bruhn of Dawson and a 70-yard scoring catch by Stacey Applegate of Louisville.

Concordia failed to score, and had notched only two first downs, until 8: 00 remained in the game. The jv's are undefeated after two starts, having beaten Midland 20-14 earlier.

Bruhn charged in from 18 for the initial Cat score. Steve Buss, a freshman halfback from Adams, rammed in from four, and Dan Todd added the extra point for an early 13-0 PSC lead.

Later in the same period, freshman Vernon Gantt blocked a Bulldog punt and Harold

another Todd PAT. Bruhn then finished Peru scoring on a 12-yard jaunt, with Todd adding his fourth point after.

Concordia managed two scores late in the game, leaving the final margin 34-13 in favor of the visitors. ·

Outstanding offensive players on the day were quarterback Kevin Niday, who moved the ball well and registered a 78-yard punt; end Garland Shafer; center Mark Johnson; and guard Troy Goleman.

Gorden of earthly (?) delights

Peru wants $9000. tropical paradise

by Stephen

Where can one fmd oranges for breakfast, bananas for a snack, tobai:co for a smoke, poinsettias for Christmas and Boston ferms for Boston?

Any number of places, but one place where all these things and more can be found ·is at the campus greenhouse southeast of the auditorium.

Chalmers the greenhouse curator, said that he car.es for a wide assortment of plants. used in classroom work and for campus decoration plll]>oses. He raises geraniums; roses and. other domestic flowers for use in planters across campus. And in the 14 years that he has been taking care of the greenhouse he has worked with several biology teachers in preparing and maintaining planfS for botanical study.

Among the oldest plants in the house is a cycad which is .about 40 years old. There are other

interesting plants in the house including four different types of palms, a rubber tree, figs, and a coconut plant. Cox, who has harvested bananas and oranges from those trees in the greenhouse, said that a special process must be followed in order for the coconut to bear.

The coconut plant must be exposed to methane gas. To achieve this, Cox said he placed an apple or potato around the plant and then covered the .entire pot with a plastic bag. As the apple or potato deteriorated, it produced sufficient methane gas to ripen the coconut.

In. addition to the spraying, watering and fertilizing that the plants ill the greenhouse require, Cox also is in charge of campus grounds and the yard around the President's home.

Cox recalled that in the early 60's Interstate Nurserys of Hamburg, Iowa, donated a truck

load of their stock to the college. Among the stock were 600 crab apple trees and a like number of rose bushes. Cox said that he planted many of those and although ·the majority of the roses were winter-killed, the crab apple trees are evident many places on campus.

Cox also planted and nursed some seedless cottonwoods, donated for use around the complex, by a recent graduating class.

Cox is presently looking forward to the possibility. of a new greenhouse. He indicated that bids for a new structure costing approximately $9,000, are being accepted. If a new house is built it will replace a building that has been a tropical paradise, a cactus strewn desert and a citrus garden for about 60 years Why, it was even a Louisiana bayou, as according to Cox, it was once the home of a rather large crocodile.

Friday afternoon some mem, bers of the SGA witnessed the fact that apathy is still not alive and well on the campus of 1009 oaks when a surprising 264 count vote came alive from the student poll. Bill Martin and Teri Hailar counted votes while Kevin Timothy and Steve Lewis tallied them. On lookers were Diane Uher, Rhonda Ahl, Kenny Fike, Karlene Badgett and Russell Beldin.

· The students opinion vote on the Stubbe, Apilado, Rosenberg office move to the student center was voted down by a 216 No vote to a 48 Yes vote. Some of the comments on the ballots ranged form "No make him move off campus,"' to obscene able comments.

Some of the students, while · voting, expressed regret that all the information about the reasons for. the move plus ;pertinent financfal ·

was not released to the Ped so that the students would know more about the entire situation.

One female student even went as far to say, "I pay $70 per year plus summer school funds for this place and I bet that they wouldn't even pay that in office rent. They spend more time in the Bobinn than they do in the office anyway. It is our building, leave it alone."

PSC women getting together

The old Standard is the new Standard

Duane Mcintire is the new owner of the Standard service station at 517 fifth street. The· former owner, Howard Frame, moved to Greely, Colorado.

Mcintire has lived in Peru since 1970, when he retired from the United States Air Force. He and his family live at 801 second street in Peru.

Mcintire attended schools in Nebraska City, and was a PSC student for one semester in 1948 before he joined the Air Force.

There is a problem with the number and amount of scholarships that are given to boys sports and the scholarships that are given te girls sports and academic areas. To get this

GIRLS VISIT PSC this week

by Anita Cole

More than 200 high school girls are expected to attend the volleyball tournament being held in the gym October 18, 19 and 21, according to physical education instructor, Pat Gilbert.

Miss Gilbert, the tournament director, said 18 teams have entered in the tournament.

Schools competing this year are: Auburn, Filley, Elmwood, Dawson-Verdon, Falls City, Dorchester. Syracuse, S.E.

·Consolidated, Omaha Mercy, Nemaha Valley, Murdock, Elk Creek, Douglas, Nehawka, Johnson-Brock, Table Rock, Weeping Water and Lincoln Pius X.

According to Gilbert, the tournament, which is the state's oldest, will bring about 400 .people to the PSC campus.

A hospitality lounge will be provided upstairs in the gym for the high school coaches. Free refreshments will be served according to Admissions Director, Brad Hall. Literature about

the college will be made available to the visiting high school students. They will be encouraged to tour the campus in their free time, Hall said.

"It looks like it's really going to be exciting this year," Gilbert said.

In giving possible reasons for these de sir able conditions, Stubbe said that actions, whether good or bad, rarely go unnoticed at an ins.titution the size of PSC; ;Therefore the chance of being tagged as a troublemaker serves as a constraining influence to students. He also cited the high quality of dorm directors.

"Students see destruction of property as, in effect, hurting these dorm overseers, whom they respect," Stubbe said.

Stubbe also sees the present condition as an indication that the student body is busy. In other words, that paraphrase of well known cliche, "busy minds do not give ol' Lucifer no place to warm his tail." And when that happens you know that all is well at Peru.

The tour should also give the high school players an opportunity to m.eet girls who compete on the collge level. According to women's athletic director, Marlene Joy, PSC volleyball players will be actually running the tournament.

This week Peru State officially welcomes a new club, entitled the ' ' W o m ·e n ' s A w a r e n e s s Organization."

A club like this is long overdue at Peru, though it will naturally catch some chauvinistic flack. With the passage of Htle IX, and the apparently imminent Equal Rights Amendment, great steps are being taken to bring the female species to her rightfully parallel place in society.

At the same time, these changes threaten the existence of some of women's "natural superiorities." The "fair sex" seems to be abandoning some of their most admirable traits to achieve parity. In other words, they are often "lowering themselves" to men's level.

For instance, increased

awareness of the plight of women seems to parallel, say, the increased rate of female alchohol ism or drug usage and heart disease. More women today are being arrested for various crimes. The divorce rate is skyrocketing; and more women seeking jobs hasn't helped the unemployment picture. And the present coo.census is, the family institution is crumbling.

According to everyone's favorite source, Playboy (October, 1976), while fewer men are having regular sex at the college level, (74 per cent do), the'female rate is at an all-time high (also 74 per centequality, right?).

Here's to the overdue "Women's Awareness" group. Let's hope their ideas of equality don't interfere with their natural "feminine superiority."

Dear Editor: It might be said about Peru students: Given the choice of standing in the middle of a street or walking to the other side, Peru · students would rather lie down in , the middle of the street. Given the choice of attaining something better for Peru or doing· nothing, again students would prefer to talk about the lack of depth this campus has and continue to disrupt the creative ideas and efforts of those who are trying very hard to make Peru State College move.

It is very easy to understand my general reluctance to work with committees. It is e.asier to "strike out on my own" than to work with reactionary persons. Many attempt to stal I items that come before SGA because they are afraid to stand up for what they believe because of reprisals from the faculty and administration and grumblings from the student body.

Dr. Wrnon McGhee, former Pastor of the "Church of the Open Door" in downtown Los Angeles said "when you are doing the right thing and standing for the right issues people will always oppose you."

How curious it is to be accused of doing "too many things" on and for Peru. Well, it only leads me to think that some people are jealous because they can't be involved in a lot of activities without suffering severely grade-wise, cannot use their time wisely and can't stand to see someone succeed. At this present time, Peru can use all the help it can get, especially from those who would distract others.

Basic understanding of the organization of the campus government would indicate that there are 5 to 7 ways to implement new ideas. I'm led to believe that there are many in SGA who are not knowledgeable of the fact.

·The Pedagogian -

Ilgnorance is a social disease affecting those that come in contact.

SGA has a constitution like all of the organizations on campus; , stated in the constitution are the do's and don'ts. One of the do's says that we will follow Roberts' Rules of Order.

It is incredible that I would be accused of most of the interference in SGA simply because I have a basic knowledge of Roberts' Rules of Order. Actually, the problem is not my interference, but theLr ignorance. Ignorance breeds ignorance. 1. would hope that SGA would not become a cesspool in quicksand, but a viable organization that would give leadership and strength to the students of Peru State College.

'Kittens continue winning ways

by Faye Woods

On October 6th, the Peru State College volleyball team met the volleyball team from Nebraska Wesleyan, for the best three out of five. Wesleyan won the toss and served first. In the first set the play was exciting and close as it was in all sets. Peru had good placement of shots during this set. The score seesawed but Peru won the first set 15-11. The second set was much like the first. Peru had well placed ·spikes and serves, and went on to win the set 15-12. The third set was very emotional. Peru went off to a big lead, Wesleyan fought back, but Peru held on for a 16-14 win, and the game. The last two sets ended with. 12· seconds left. Peru had good placement of shots and played well as a team.

Bobcats clip Eagles' wings

The Peru Bobcats handed the Chadron Eagles their first loss of the season Saturday, when they took the lea.ct in the first quarter and held it throughout the game.

Gary Rosenbeck was the leading scorer for Peru with two touchdowns in the first quarter 6f the game. He had,,a rushing average of 7.3 yards per carry, for a total of 184 yards. Tod · Nelson was averaging 7.8 yards per carry before being sidelined with injuries and 86 total yards.

Chadron, who entered the game with a 4-0 record is the best team the Bobcats have played to date, according to ·head coach Jerry Joy.

He believes the team played super well and said that there were not two or three outstanding players for Peru, but 59 of them.

The Kearney State Antelopes will be hosting Peru this weekend at their homecoming game, October 23. The game starts at 7:30. Go cheer the Cats on to another victory.

Weslevan was in the lead the third set when Barb Rolf for Peru started serving. She served 13 straight points, and PSC won that set and the match 2 to 1. The varsity season record is three wins and one loss, and the junior varsity is undefeated with two wins.

In the second set Deb Kelly and Cindy Harmon were injured.

Divide Conquer... New offices for coaches

by Steve Harwick

As the result of an idea by Coach Jerry Joy, the second Jloor of the gymnasium building is now partitioned to provide individual offices for the coachin staff.

Previously ·the coaches were in one big office with only two telephones between them. Now each has a private office with a phone, which has greatly improved the work efficiency according to Coach Joy. Also

private offices are much better for counseling says Joy. Before the partitions were built a student could not ·come to a coach's office for a private discussion. Many more students are coming up to speak with the coaching staff now that private discussi%S are possible. According-to Joy, the other coaches like this set-up much better than the way it was. , Construction of the partitions, made of beams and wood grain panels, was done before the start of this semester. Cost of the materials came to $500 and work time was about a week according to Superintendent of Maintenance George Wendel.

A note to the adventuresome people on campus. Recreational

equipment can be checked out of the intramural office in the gym. The gear includes backpacks,. cross country skis, a canoe, and more.

An excellent place to make use of the equipment, if you check it out and can't think of any place to go, is Indian Cave State Park. Located only 10 miles south of Brownville, it's a great place to spend a weekend camping. It offers beautiful scenery and lots of good exercise if you feel like hiking any of the trails which wind their way throughout the park. You'd better hurry though, because the leaves are turning fast and winter seems to be just around the corner.

Bonfire adds to homecoming

by Sheilla LaMountain

The homecoming bonfire provided entertainment and spirit building activities for band members, cheerleaders, football players, and fans. It was held Friday night behind Neal hall.

· While the fire glowed in the brick pit, Coach Jerry Joy was introduced and he in turn presented the senior football players:

Ray Christie, Rod Carter, Mike Gordan Thiesfield, Jeff Tudor, Dave Werner, and Tom Zabawa.·

Tne senior football players were· then given the honor of throwing a dummy Benedictine football player into the bonfire. Football cheerleader, Jean Colbert acknowledged the new basketball cheerleaders: Pam Peters, Cindy Harmon, Audrey Coonce, Desi Kline, Janet Meyers, and alternate Marcy Nawkal.

The cneerleaders presented a skit that included Coach Paul Reed, his wife Joyce, !J.nd Coach Jack Scammahorn and his wife Myrna.

'The Mousetrap'

a great success

by Lee Rademacher

The Peru Players, under the direction of Dr. Irwin Bingham, presented Christie's spine tingling tliriller, The Mousetrap. The first and most striking thing in the play was the set. Compliments must be given to the set crew and especially to George Spelvin. The set was so magnificently well done that the cast had to work fervently to even stand out from it. The acts took place during and after a blizzard, at one time, after it had stopped snowing, the window in the living room was opened and snow fell from the window ledge-there was no detail that escaped the set designer's eye. The lighting scheme, which as done by John Billings, was very good.

The play revolved around an unknown murderer. Every member of the cast was implicated in some way in the murder, except one and he turned out to be the psychotic strangler who was seeking revenge for mistreatment in the childhood. Posing as a policeman come to investigate the murder, Kevin Hart watches the other guests at Monkswell Manor asthey accuse each other of being the murderer. He kills Anita Cole and almost strangles Paula McCoy, but the real policeman, Don Doxon, and Kevin's Jong lost sister, Rhonda Crass, put the whole plan together and him just in the nick of time. Rob McKercher was excellent as a homosexual army deserter. Also possible murder suspects were Paula McCoy's husband, Tom Whitney and Fred Miner.

It was a complete surprise when Kevin Hart was captured

as the murdered. During the whole play he had been the least

suspicious of all the cast. His new

change from a straight policeman to a madman was great. Tom Whitney perfectly portrayed the loving overprotective husband. Don Doxon could have been mistaken for a professional. Anita Cole's scream when she was strangled was very realistic.

Despite a small error in timing, just as Paula McCoy started to say she was going to turn on the lights, the lights came on, all of the technical work was well done. At times some of the cast couldn't be heard clearly, and the radio, even though it added to the overall effect, made it difficult to understand parts of the play. And at the very beginning of the play the radio or record player or whatever it was couldn't be understood at all.

It may have been next to impossible to guess who the murderer was, .but it's not a guess to say that the Peru Players' presentation of The Mousetrap was definitely a success.

This year some students can choose to have a phone installed in their rooms. Installation cost is seven dollars and fifty cents, considering there is a base or station set. up in the room in order to install the phone. If there is no station present in the room, the price is twelve dollars and fifty cents.

Costs vary tor local ano 1oui; distance cans, depending on whether the student is using a payphone or direct dial. Student's who own a phone pay $7.50 a month for local calls.

According to the operator ·assistant and the rate operator, a long distance call, to Omaha from Peru between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. is 51 cents plus tax for the first three minutes and 22 cents for every minute after when the direct dialing system is used. To Nebraska City the rate is 27 cents for the first three minutes and 13 cents for every minute more.

Discount rates from 11 p.m. to 8 a.m. for Peru to Omaha or Lincoln calls is 40 cents for three minutes and 12 cents for every minute after. Nebraska City calls cost 18 cents for the first three minutes and four centS for every additional minute.

The long distance price for a call made from a payphone, in Peru to Omaha or Lincoln is one dollar and twenty-five cents for the first three minutes and twenty-five cents for every additional minute. From Peru to Nebraska City the rate is seventy-five cents for the first three minutes and ten cents for every minute after.

If a student makes many phone calls, a private room phone could be a good investment.

Dr. Eckert's 'Dragon Watch' involves many students

by Stephen-€ha,telain

"Dragon Watch,'' a medieval melodrama written and directed by Dr. Royal W. Eckert, will be presented on Dec.1, 2, 3 and 4 at the college aua1torium.

Eckert said that he wrote the play three or four· years ago to fill a void of family shows.

It was first presented by the ,,

Omaha Junior Theatre. Since that first presentation, Eckert said, he has revised and expanded the play to be appropriate for the entire family and not just .for /a children's audience.

The cast, ,one of th!) largest in recent years, includes the following PSC students: Henry Abner, Harold Benson, Gene

'Browning, Tammy Chaney, Bettye Jo Daniels, Don Doxon, Stephanie Goodell, Sue Higgins, Howard Karnish, Aaron Larson, Robin Mc Kercher, Fredricka Minton, John Ownings, Kathy Reid, Mike Rowell, Angie Stalder, Glen Stanton, Kim Tudor, John Walsh, Tom Whitney and Becki Young.

Children from the community are: .John Barrett, Jr., Andrew Jacobsen, Christy Joy, Amy l..ewellen, and Sarah Stubbe.

Eckert also said that a number Jf students were assisting with the production of the play. Teri Hailar and Kevin Hart are stage managers, Don Doxon is in charge of technical direction and J. Hartson Billings III, is

designing the set.

Mark Thoip.pson is writing and arranging the music for the play, and will be assisted in the orchestra by Perry Biaggi, Kerry Coufel, Nick Guinan and Bob Svoboda.

The lighting scheme will be designed and constructed by Dr. Irwin Bingham.

Test your testing abi Iities First meeting tonight

by Anita Cole

Not many people realize that the skills required for takiQg tests have very little to do with how smart a person is or how hard he studies. Yet, almost everyone has had the experience of getting a poor test grade than going over the test paper and saying, "I knew that answer; why didn't .I mark it?"

If you are one of those persons who can never quite do well on tests for one reason or another, the Teaching Learning Center may be able to help you.

According to Cal Bone, the TLC plans- to offer a mini-course in test taking soon. It doesn't take long to learn how to deal with test day jitters and pick up a few cues on how to take tests.

The TLC also offers tutoring in specific areas like English and math: By now most students know what their problem areas are. The TLC offers almost "something for everyone" with programs suited to individual student needs. It's free too.

If you think you would like to take advantage of the services and materials offered by the TLC, contact Cal Bone in room 202 of the Education Building. The TLC and a11 it has to offer are available to everyone. You don't have to be recommended orrefe.rred by anyone.It.doesn't even matter why you want to take part in the program. Most of the material offered could help anyone brush up his basic skills.

Do you need the pill?

by Teri Hailar

Signs around campus about the Family Planning Clinic sparked interest and many wondered if the Peru State Health Clinic still offered any family planning services. According to Mrs. Miller, the campus nurse, PSC does still offer Family Planning but that there are changes in it from the following years. This year, because of a case overload no doctors from the Auburn ciinic come to Peru on Tuesdays and Fridays. Instead we have Physicians Assistants who come over to see ahy patient between 12:30 and 2 p.in. The Physicians Assistants do not do pap tests and so Mrs. Miller offers counseling· and helps to fill out

Mrs. Mifler did say that birth control methods not needing a prescription are available through the Health Center and that it is a delivery point for prescribed birth control pills from Tecumseh.

The family Planning Clinic offers far more than just birth control means.

Desi Kline, Pam Peters, Janet Ahern and Sue Ullsperger had some important blocks, and · some well placed spikes which gave the team ·added momentum. Jean and Julie Hartman picked up many of the powerful Hastings spikes, and played an all around excellent defense in the first set. In the second set Peru dominated again winning the set 15-5. and the match two games to none. The second set again w.as a good team effort, with good serving, well Jllaced spikes, and good defensive play.

Peru then met Nebraska Wesleyan, this was the second time they had met this year. Peru had won the first meeting. The second meeting was much like the first, close, with emotional play.

divorce, equality in ,society, religion, the fathering instinct, the new morality; parenting·and discrimination against women qn campus. These ideas and any other suggestions will be talked abou.t at the first meeting, and it will be decided if they are wortJ:ly of further discussion at a later meeting.

It is also hoped that the Organization will be able to sponsor workshops, dealing mainly with women's problems, that will be offered for college credit. Men are welcomed at the meetings since many problems that women face effect the population in general. The first organizational meeting will be held on November 3at 7:30 in the West Dining Room.

PERU VIEWS

AND PED SLANTS .: Far Out

By Lance Wilson

With the usua I attitude of selfishness and denial of rights, the Women's Organization has started a movement on campus for Women's. Rights. The best question at this time is: What happened to PEOPLE'S RIGHTS?

The request fer equal rights is a great cause, gaining rights for a certain fraction and refusing to · work for everybody's rights is what you are supposed to be fighting. The WOMEN'S Awareness Organ'izafion, by their very .name, is for women's rights.

Why can't we have a People's Awareness Organization?

How about the Peru Awareness Organization?

To advance ourselves we claim that we have to stop all prejudice, yet we name our very means in. such a way that the people we are trying to help will feel out of place by being at the meeting or activity.

What this campus really needs is more communication. Not only between administration and students, but between students and students; The faculty and students need to sit down in a big rap session and discuss the problems with the people affected. I twas tried earlier this year but very few students, faculty, administration and town people showed up Without talking to each other, how can anything be accomplished?

By finding the REAL problems on this campus, maybe we can start to solve them.

In the interest of making the Ped · more responsive to: student problems, there will be a weekly meeting in the student center fishbowl for student input of the Pedagogian. The first meeting will be Wednesday (today) during convo.

Staff Stress]

by Angie Stalder

In recent years prices of everything from. food to education have been on the rise. But one of the fastest rising prices is that of gasoline.

Consumption of gas continues to rise along with the price. Industry has slowed consumption down by 2 per cent, but auto consumption is up by 5 per cent, and unless you own an economy car which gets from 25 to maybe JO miles to the gallon, you are pr<>bably spending, in most cases, SlO to $15 every time you fill up.

Our problem continues to be too much dependency on foreign oil. Four out of every ten barrels comes from overseas. We should be able to .produce our own. We have resources, we just need to know where to find them. Now even the Alaskan pipeline seems to be a dream.

The exteremly high prices haven't hit Peru yet, but haven't you heard, they're about to raise the prices. another l to 1112 cents per gallon.

IN REPLY TO: "All that Stuff"-'October 20, 1976, by Anita Cole.

Ms. Cole and Ped Staff:

Your article in last week's Pedagogian ("All that Stuff") beg_s for a response.

Naturally, your statement is valid when you write that, "Team performance can be hurt by even a few people." The quotes from Coach Jby should theoretically represent all school teams and organizations on this campus. But your jaded and distorted comments directed at a few individual students, were unfair accusations and not pertinent to your viewpoint.

Do you believe that publicizing certain events, that may or may not have occurred, results in remedying the drinking situation

or it's effect on any team or student's performance at Peru?

You deal low blows when your "reluctant attention" unnecessarily wanders to a young man who dents a _<:ar, or your reference to people who hold parties. (After all, who are the persons responsible? Those who throw parties OR those who come??) When do people like you intend to st.art emphasizing the encouraging the positive aspects of Peru State College, instead of ruining morale and initiating apathy by your misuse of the Ped as a sounding board for your own "soap-box" crusade?

One question, Ms. Cole, why is your attention so reluctant?

LAll that Stuff ]

by Anita Cole

The staff would like to thank you for your letter. We have always felt that input from the students helped us put out a better paper.

Though one editorial can't pass for a crusade any more than today's soap boxes can be stood upon, there were a few good points mixed in with the rhetoric.

Because the Ped is a newspaper, its staff has a responsibility to let the people at this college know what is going on around them.

We do not evalu·ate the news for its goodness or badness, that isn't our job. Our job is doing our best to tell it like it is. Personally, most of us feel that making people aware of a problem is the first step toward solving it.

The article that concerns you so much resulted from weeks of exhaustive research.

There was a problem which affected the performance of some members of the football team. Since the team represents the

college every Saturday, the students had a right to know.

As a reader, you are within your rights to attach a maybe to the ifoms presented to you and to resent not being told everything. The decision to withhold specific names, places, and times was not in line with the ?tandards of good journalism. I apologize to you and· to every reader who feels as you do.

It will not happen again. The decision was not easyprofessional pride versus human consideration. I still do not know if my choice was the right one.

If an athlete on scholarship visits your home, you are doing him no favor when you serve him· a screwdriver. You are, in fact, encouraging him to violate the conditions listed in the scholarship and putting him in danger of losing it.

What is your responsibility? How much do you care? Let that determine your responsibility.

QUESTION: We are the occupants of room 22, Mathews Hall. We had a fire about 4 weeks ago and there has been nothing done about getting our room cleaned up, except for putting a new window.

We need our bedroom (you know) because we're living all over. We talked to the insurance men and they said it would take about three weeks to get the room cleaned up, and it's been four weeks, so we would like something done about it.

ANSWER: The Peru Prompt Response. Line contacted George Wendel and Paul Stubbe and they promised to clean up room 22 immediately. We in.Services are a little worried about you "living all over" and wilf certainly try to collect rent for as many rooms as you have been occupying.

QUESTION: I'm calling in regard to the problem that seems to be bothering a lot of people which is all these people who are parking along the yellow line out here at the Complex. I think it's about time we get tough with them. I don't think tickets are doing much good, so I hope maybe we could have some signs or something.

ANSWER: New yellow lines will be painted on the south side of the Complex parking lot. The new direction will be southwest instead of due south. This will facilitate entry and exiting from the area. Cars are being cited by the security policeman for parking on the yellow line. The fine for yellow line parking is one dollar. Nobody likes to .pay money out for no services rendered and for taking up two parking spaces. But, if we could get everyone to park on the yellow lines, and could ticket each car, for one or two months, we'd collect enough money in fines for better programs at Peru-How about that!

PSC drops Culver-Stockton

by Lance Wilson/

In the wind and rain the PSC Bobcats strove on to their second victory of the year. Junior fullback, Gary Rosenbeck, carried the ball 30 times for 184 yards and caught one pass to set Peru up for their first touchdown.

Following the Carter to Rosenbeck pass, Rod Carter kept the ball for the one yard plunge for the TD. Dan· Todd added the extra point for the first quarter lead of 7-0.

In the middle of the second quarter Rosenbeck scored from the one yard line and Dan Todd Saturday, October 30 found the Bobkittens fighting an excellent defensive game but were unable to put a long scoring string together. Taking the first set against Concordia 15-9, the Kittens lost the next two 6-15 and 9-14. With bad spikes and several bad serves, the Kittens lost the first and second sets to Midland 4-15 and 10-15.

At the time of this publication it is unknown if the Bobkittens beat Tarkio on November 2.

On November 4, 5 and 6 the Bobkittens will be at Nebraska Wesleyan, for the State Volleyball Tournament. The Bobkittens will play Chadron State.at 7 p.m. and Nebraska Wesleyan at 9 p.m. on Thursday, November 4. On Friday, November 5, the Bobkittens will play Creighton at 11 a.m., Midland at 3:30, and Wayne State at 6 p_.m. The finals will be played on Saturday.

Skin calipers?????

Measure your fatlH

by Steve Harwick

Do you know what skin calipers are? Judging by the naine they could be a device for. measuring the thickness of arf orange peel, or a system of rating blue movies, but they're not.

Skin calipers are what Coach Jack Scammahorn plans to use on his wrestlers this season. By measuring skin and fat folds with these calipers it is possible to figure the lean body mass and percentage of body fat on a wrestler. If a wrestler has, say, 8 per cent body fat, he will hopefully reduce until he has only about 2 per cent.

According to Scammahorn, an Iowa study has proven that such a reductionjs possible with no appreciable loss of strength. Using this method •. a wrestler

again scored the extra point. With the half time score 14-0, Peru's favor, the teams prepared for the second half.

As the mud became deeper, the third quarter brought Culver-Stockton a TD and extra point. The Bobcats successfully held the Wildcats to make the final score 14-7, Bobcats on top.

This Saturday, the Bobcats take to the road again and travel to Wayne for a 1:30 p.m. game. Wayne is 2-5 for the season while the Bobcats are 2-6. The game should prove to be an exciting one.

Douglas wins fifth tourney

by Faye Woods

At the 31st .annual Peru State College Volleyball Tournament, Douglas won again. This is the fifth time in six years that a strong Douglas .team has become champion. The 4th seated Douglas team played first seated Elmwood, tourney favorite, in a hard fought match. Elmwood was impressive the first set, and won. 15-8. However, the next two sets were won by Douglas 15-10 and 15-12.

Lincoln Pius X then met Johnson-Brock to see who would meet Douglas for the championship. In two close sets, Lincoln came out on top and won the right to meeJ Douglas.

Astrong Douglas team lead by Kathy and Carrie Bolkovac, defeated Lincoln in straight sets 15-5 and 15-8. \

When Elm..yood and Johnsonwill know how much weight he can lose and still maintain his full strength. Wrestling in a heavier class because of excess body fat is like a sprinter giving his oppon!!nt a head start in the 100 yard dash, says Scammahorn.

Scammahorn plans an organizational meeting of the wrestling team at the close of football season. Practice will begin immediately thereafter. There will be two sessions per day, says Scammahorn, morning and afternoon. The morning sessions will alternate between lung conditioning by running and strength conditioning by weight lifting and other exercises. Wrestling will be practiced in

" With the recent, ·uncomfortable weather indicative of the season ahead, it is encouraging to warm your toes with the thoughts of Spring and Spring Week.

Until about 1970, the spring. celebration was a May Fete. A May Fete, 1960's style, included band music, square and folk dancing exhibitions by students, and acrobatic displays performed by members of the physical education department. Song and dance routines by grade schoolers from the local school ere performed, followed i>y the ritualistic Maypole dance. The evening concluded on the dance floor with the newly crowned royalty reigning.

In 1970 the festivities were expanded and "Spring Week" included road rallys, concerts, carnivals and plays. At the conclusion of the week the May Fete dance was hell'.f and the royalty were crowned.

By 1972 the May Fete tradition had nearly vanished, leaving a modified Spring Week and coronation behind.

Attendance Gym. and candidates concern SGA " policy altered

by Diane Uher

A new paragraph has been added to Peru State College's attendance policy said Dr. Clyde Barrett, vke president of Academic Affairs.

The new paragrpah was added after a few complaints were made by the teachers last April about the attendance policy. At that time Academic Affairs set up an Ad Hoc committee to investigate the possibilities of revising the policy. The committee sent questionaires to the teachers and just recently proposed the new paragraph.

Barrett said the paragraph was not approved immediately and an amendment was made to it to see if it would meet with more approval. Both the proposed paragraph and amendment was sent to the Student Government Association at different times to find out what the students' reaction would be.

According to Bridget Hoover, SGA representative to Academic Affairs, SGA gave its approval of the proposed paragraoh but

refused to give its approval to the amendment, They were both sent back to Academic Affairs and at the next meeting the original paragraph was approved as the addition to the attendance policy,

The new paragraph will be inserted between the two paragraphs of the original policy and will read:

The individual instructor may determine attendance requirements for his own classes and has the right to base a portion of the student's grade on attendance. These requirements will be presented to the class during the first week of the semester.

"The new policy will work if everyone involved gives it a chance by being reasonable, fair, adult like," said Barrett. "It is typical of ?ttendance policies of many colleges ill this area and I'm sure it will work."

The revised policy will go into effect next semester, said Barrett, and it will be printed in the 1977-78 cata!og.

The Humanities Division had some changes made with· the absentee policy in the school catalog. SGA passed and approved the new paragraph to be added to the policy.

The Humanities Division decided on the earlier amendment presented; proposal approved. Compalint forms are posted in the dorms and library where

Mr. Carl Hardy from Taylor Publishing Company proposed the idea of a yearbook to SGA. SGA accepted the proposal and set up two committees to meet with Mr. Hardy. The publicity committee will act as advertising and the sales committee will head the sales, but tpe whole SGA will help with the selling. The committees are at the present waiting for a bond from the Taylor Publishing Company to help support the yearbook.

One of the most vital areas of SENCA · work is arousing community support and awareness. Mrs. Railsback said that for every 75 cents of tax support, 25 cents must be- solicited in private donations of time or money. She indicated that the free clinic and house weatheriz-

ation services would end without volunteers from the communities. Mrs. Railsback said that she uses the film in her programs throughout the SENCA area to dramatize the critical economic problems of many people, and to rally community support for SENCA programs.

Art workshop at

by Steve Chatelain

An in-service workshop concerning "Self Expression Through Art,"·will be presented Nov. 12, 13, and 20 by the special education department of PSC.

The consultants for the art workshop are Terry Thacker, Nebraska City junior high teacher, and Constance Pollreis, art teacher, Union, Nebraska.

The November workshop will be the thir_d in a six part series of one credit hour courses. The first workshop, held during September, was entitled "Meaningful Conferences With Parents." "Moving toward Metrics" was the topic of the in-service workshop held on campus this month.

According to Dr. Esther Divney, coordinator of the workshops, the classes must include 15 contact hours to earn the one hour credit. She said that normally registration is on a Friday evening. Classes begin following registration; take up again Saturday morning, and c1mclude the following Saturday.

Consultants for the metric workshop Included Lyle McKercher, chairman of the math department at PSC. Other

speakers during the three-day workshop were James McDowell, administrator of ESU No. 3 in Omaha; Donald Niemann, math consultant of the state department of education in Lincoln, and Margaret Bland of Benson high school in Omaha.

Dr. Divney, professor of special ed1wation at PSC, said that she attempts to attract prominent speakers in whatever field the workshops cover. Ms. Bland, for instance, had been recommended by McKercher, the state department of education,. and the state math convention, where she had made her presentation on metrics, Dr. Divney said.

·The courses are offered· for undergraduate credit, and according to Dr. Divney, are primarily attended by experienced elementary teachers. She added, however, that about 14 college students registered for the workshop. Future workshops, to be held the spring semester, include:

"Self Expression Through Music," to be offered in January; "Individualizing Instruction," presented in February and "Making Reading Packets," to be offered in March.

The film, a dramatization of a serious social problem, is a community awareness tool used by Mrs. Railsback in her work. She said that all pictures in the film were taken in the state· giving, a realistic picture of poverty in both the rural and urban areas. Poverty is a stereotypical characteristic of urban aveas, but Mrs. Railsback said that Nemaha county, for instance, has 12.6 per cent of it's

people living in the poverty level. The poverty guideline is a

established figure that is presently based on a yearly income of $5,500 for a family of

four.

SENCA is a poverty fighting organization that grew out of President Kennedy's War On Poverty in the early '60's. Mrs. Railsback said that the four county organization attempts to improve the lives of income deficient people in several ways.

One facet of service the community action group renders is in the nutrition area. The emergency food and meals-onwheels programs provide direct food assistance to families and elderly persons. Mrs. Railsback said that SENCA also conducts workshgps that inform parents about proper nutrition and food preparation.

Many health services are offered, thr_ough SENCA programs, to low income persons. However, the blood pressure clinics and well child clinics are open to anyone in the community. In reference to the free clinics Mrs. Railsback said, "we are organized to serve low income people, but in the process of serving them we often serve people from all income groups."

Internship at Lincoln

by Diane Uher

A Board of Trustees Internship will be offered next semester at Peru STate College for anyone interested, said Dr. Clyde Barrett, vice president of Academic Affairs.

According to Barrett, the students who participate in the internship will register and pay tuition at PSC and will live in Lincoln and work at the Board of Trustees office in the Capitol building. Hey.rill work 40 hours a week and will be offered minimum wages.

major areas or rnteresc cne internship will cover are government, business, communications, and public relations. He also added that anyone interested may participate even if their major field is not one of the above.

Some of the duties the student might be assigned are: following the legislature, working the budget, or working with public relations for the Board of Trustees.

Barrett said that many people have taken the internship said it broadens their ideas of each of the above fields and made them more aware of how each one operates. He feels it could be a great experience.

If anyone is interested and would like more information about the internship, contact Clyde Barrett at the Administration Building.

on upswing

by Steve Chatelain

A national upward growth trend, new courses, and more teachers, are reasons for the rapid· growth of the business department at PSC, according to department head, Russell din.

,

Beldin allowed that business is a growing educational field nationally, but he maintains that PSC is enjoying a unique rapid growth. He said, whereas most business departments show increases, since 1972, of 10-15 per cent, Peru has grown by 20 per. cent. He noted that in the. past year, contrary to Peru's total enrollment, his department has grown by 5 per cent.

This situation is all the more

· interesting, because normally, business interest is highest in hard core, densely populated, industrial areas. Beldin acknowledged that Peru's agrarian setting goes against the typical grain. He said; however, that reasons for department growth might be reflected in the college rather than in the surrounding economic base.

In the oast four years, the curriculum has beeri expanded with 19 new courses. This increased teaching load has been partially offset by the addition to the business staff, one part-time and two full-time teachers, Beldon said.

The department has five full-time staff members; Bledin, Jack Hamilton, Robert Lewellen, Dan Kennet and Steve Quade. A retired Humboldt business man, Young teaches evening classes on and off the campus.

Recently, a third, four year

program, accounting, was added to the department. Previously, only business education and administration had been offered. Beldin said that administration, however, is still the most popular of the three major courses. said that most of'the administration majors are placed in the field of finance; a field, he said, he hoped would gain independent status asa four year program in the next year or two.

Beldin said that the staff would also like to expand the department to include a real estat eprogram soon.

To the 25 per cent of the student body /that Beldin indicated are in the business department, these new fields might offer more educational and job finding opportunities. They should "'1lso insure that the flourishing PSC business department will remain a bullish commodity for some time.

Learning to Cook vs. Starving

by Diane Uher

All week Peru S.!"'1te College students go to the Student Center three times a day for their meals, but how do they eat on the weekends? Both the cafeteria and the Bob Inn close Friday night and the cafeteria doesn't open 1 again until Monday morning while the Bob Inn opens Sunday night. This leaves five meals that the students have to fend for themselves.

To find out exactly what most students do for their meals, I took a poll and here are some of their responses. Go to the Bob Inn.

Go to the Dairy Shack.

Go to the Pizza Hut.

Eat cold sandwiches.

Eat tuna fish.

Starve!

I have good news for everyone that stays in Peru for the weekends. You don't have to starve or spend all of your money at the Dairy Shack and Pizza Hut. It's more economical and nutritional to do the cooking for yourself. Also it's easy and can be fun for everyone involved.

QUESTION: My name is Teri Hailar.1 liveat320 in Morgan Hall and if I see another creature. I mean a mouse or bug running up or down the I'm going to scream and move uut. And if one more piece of plaster falls on my head while I'm taking a shower I'm going to move out of Morgan Hall:

ANSWER: After hearing your complaint, the staff which answers the Peru Prompt Response Line went into immediate action ·to correct the items cited in your complaint. Because of the danger invol"l;)d (falling buildings and rabid rodents} all necessary precautions were taken. Hard hats were worn, protective clothing and two way radios were employed. The Swat Team was put on ready alert, and was standing by for any sign of aggressive rodent action. The assault team proceeded very cautiously to the third. floor of Morgan Hal I to reconnoiter the situation. We were fully prepared for the worse-and the worse happened. We found NO traces of fallen plaster or plaster falling. All three baths were thoroughly searched. Some chipped paint was found in one. We could find no trace of rodents or insects. However, "Presto X" the rodent reliever' will de-rodentize your dorm the middle of the month in case those varmits

try anything else. We did a follow. up check on when the last case of falling plaster was reported. We were told that four weeks ago, there had been some indication that plaster in the baths needed some repair. It was fixed! Check again-and let us know. We'd be glad to look the situation over with you. P.S. We had a complaint that someone has a cat in DavidsonPalmer. Maybe you can rent the cat to catch the mice. Thanks for using the Peru Prompt Response Line.

QUESTION: I think we oughtta get better answering services at Delzell and at the Complex. The phones aren't answered there many times during the day-right now it's B p.m. and no one is answering the phone at Delzell.

ANSWER: As unfortunate as it is, the problem of the phone service is one that exists· in dorms and resident halls across the country. The personnel who answer the phones are also students and sometimes are not present to do this task. I would suggest that you make a list of several friends in each of the residence halls who have personal phones and when you must contact someone call one or sever aI persons on the Iist. Perhaps this might partially solve

All you need is a pot trom home, a popcorn popper, a utensils, and some grocenes. The rest of it is just a li!;!le luck and knowledge of what you can cook and where you can cook.

In most of the dorms the st\ldents are allowed to have popcorn poppers, electric fry pans and other cooking devices. are also small kitchens in some of the dorms in which the students may cook. Check with your dorm directors for more details oh the use of the kitchen and if you're allowed to have cooking devices in your rooms. For those people with popcorn poppers, did you know there are many delicious dishes a person can make in one? Among these ,are soups, macaroni and cheese, hot cerals, hot beverages, vegetables, and , a variety of creamed dishes. It is also possible to warm up many foods, such as rolls for breakfast.

So next time you want to eat cold sandwiches, why not dress them up and have soup and sandwiches? If you want to eat tuna why not have tuna and noddles? The possibilities are many.

Everyone knocks the food the cafeteria so here's thei chance to do the cooking and s : what kind of gourmets they ca: be. They could even start a clu or cook meals with everyone in group preparing something. ' enough guys took interest, th' students could even take turn having the girls make a meal ff) one night and the guys makin one the next night. Cooking cou become one of the highlights the weekend.

Here's an easy recipe to sta off with that was given to me Linda Uher,. one of the dor directors of Morgan Hall.

Sloppy Joe's 1 pound hamburger; 1 sma onion, diced; 11.J cup dice celery; 1 small can tom at sauce.

Place the hamberger in popcorn popper and brown wit the onion and celery. Drai excess fat. Add the tomato sauc and cook. Season with salt a pepper to taste. Put the mixtur on a hamburger bun and eat.

If anyone has any recipes the want to share with the rest oft students, please send them t Diane Uher, Morgan Hall an they will be printed in the paper in its new cooking column.

Meterics Workshop

Dr. Esther Divney conducted a workshop entitled, "Moving Toward Metrics" on October 15 and 16. A follow-up session was held on October 23. The purpose of the workshop was to provide an explanation of the metric

· system and techniques for teaching the metric system to elementary students and mainstreamed special education students. Since President Ford has signed a bill that moves America foward the metric system this type of workshop is extremely beneficial. The featured speakers were: Margaret Bland. from Benson High

the problem. If you hav.e any suggestions that might help, please let us know.

QUESTION: We have two complaints. One of them is that a girl downstairs has a cat and she keeps it in the dorm all the time. We live in and it cries real loud and wakes you up in the morning and we don't think that i'ts fair that one person can have a pet and no one else can. And the vacuum cleaner on first floor has the bag too full bf dirt and it won't pick anything up any more.

ANSWER: The rules are: NO PETS in the residence halls-with two exceptions, and those are goldfish and pet rocks. I suggest you advise your neighbor of the rules, or inform the R.A.

The Custodian of your building has a supply of vacuum cleaner bags. See him, or check with the R.A.

QUESTION: We have a complaint from the complex about the dance in Neal Hall the other night that the music was so loud that we couldn't get to sleep and so we didn't make it to our classes the next day, because it lasted so long and the band was there so late. And we just thought that they could have the dances somewhere else or quiet the music down or not hold it till the wee hours of the morning or hold it on weekend nights so that the next morning we wouldn't have a class to go to.

ANSWER: Dances at Neal are

School; James McDowell, an administrator of ESU No. 3 at Omaha; Lyle McKercher, a PSC math professor, and Donald Nieman, from the Sate Department of Education.

Some of the topics that were discussed were: the history of metrics, what the metric system actually is, presenting metrics in the classroom, metric games, learning centers for metrics and the available metric materials.

Performadeath-defying act.

Club Sports-Minor sports future?

by Diane Uher

To have club sports or not to have them, that is the question. A question that Peru State College may face if enough students take the initiative and act.

Many colleges in the United States are now turning to club sports, but what really is a club sport? Generally it is a group of students that go out for a sport that isn't offered by their college on the competitive basis. These sports are usually by most colleges as "minor sports." The participants practice daily as in major sports, but there is no coach unless one volunteers his or her services. Each member of the team depends on each other for help and advice. There are no scholarships and the clubs compete with other clubs in their area.

The growing need for club sports came from the many students that participated in a sport competively in high school and came to a college that offered that sport only as a class. Even though these students didn't participate in a major sport they were still athletes and wanted to participate in the sport they were the best trained. These students felt they were being discriminated against and revolted. The result is club sports.

Would club sports work and be an asset to PSC? This is a highly controversial question and there are many pros and cons.

Some people feel that club sports are bad and would be disasterous for PSC. They feel that club sports would take the student away from academics in the college because there are no

eligibility requirements and the participant wouldn't care enough about his grades. Also, if· there is enough interest in a sport to start a club, then why not just appropriate funds and' make that sport a major one?

Other people feel that club sports could give PSC a new outlook aiµI make students happier. It could also attract more students to this college that want to participate competitively in a minor sport.

There are many fine 'athletes in this college that are well trained in one of the minor sports and want to compete with other schools, not just each other. It's too bad that their talent has to be wasted just because our college doesn't have enough money to finance a regular program.

In · defense that club sports take the student away from academics, any sport you participate in takes you, in some degree, away from academics. Look how many classes football and volleyball players have to miss because of games. It all depends upon the student and the responsibility he feels toward his grades.

The people against club sports also said that if there was enough interest in a sport, why not just appropriate funds for it and make it a major sport. I agree this would be great but how long would it take?

Appropriating funds means asking the legislature for money.· arid this means waiting. Anyone from Peru should know this. Our new sports complex is a prime example of it. While all this legislative action is going on, why shoajd the students have to sit by and wait? Why can't they

Wildcats tame Bobcats

Peru State College fell to defeat for the seventh time this season 20-0, to the Wayne State Wildcats. The game was played on a cold and windy afternoon, with gusting .winds up to [hfrty'five miles per hour.

The first quarter ended 0-0. Wayne crossed the goal line, but the TD was called back by a penalty. In the second quarter PSC came the closest to putting a scoring drive together. The drive started with a Rodney Carter to Alan Cowles pass for thirty-seven yards and a Carter to Dale Patton pass for ten yards. Putting Peru down to the Wayne four-yard line. Wayne held Peru tough for three downs. On a fourth and three, Peru attempted a fake field goal and

tried for the pass, but the attempt failed to score.

Wayne State put together a scoring drive and went into halftime leading 7-0.

The second half did not produce any scoring drives for PSC, but Wayne State being able to score twice more. Final score 20-0, Wayne State.

This was the last planned meeting between PSC and Wayne State for many years to come.

For this week's final game against Poane College, starting center Dick Ramsey will not play because of an injury from the Wayne State game. The game againstDoane will start at 2:00 P.M. in the Oak Bowl.

President Pearson was ill

Dr. Pearson recently took a short .leave of absence from the college. The leave, however, was not an educator's conference, or a fall vacation, but a trip to the Nemaha County Hospital.

Dr. Pearson said that he was admitted to the hospital on Nov.

start a club and be ready for the competition when the money is available'?

Club sports is an excellent way to save some sports, such as men's baseball and women's track, in Peru. In these sports, because of a lack of funds, Peru runs sorpething like a half

program. We are in no means competitive with other colleges because we don't have the funds to go recruiting and to give many scholarships. It's not fair to these people and if they could go down to club sports and compete with teams of their own caliber until more money for a

better program was allocated I'm sure they would be happier'. I hope every person out there who is interested in saving or· starting a new sport thinks this over carefully. Club sports can mean many things for a college but if it works or doesn't work depends on the students.

EV/EW One-act ploys presented at PSC

by Teri Hailar

The one-act play, The Seekers, directed by Mary Miller was not presented as scheduled on Nov. 2 because of a conflict. It was re-scheduled for Nov. 9 in the college auditorium along with Kim Tudor's production of Rumplestiltskin.

Rob McKercher's presentation of Aria Da Capo will be Nov. 11 · at 8 p.m. in the fish bowl at the Student Center. Tom Whitney's production of The Fatal French Dentist was presented Nov. 2.

Whitney's play is a frace written by Oscar Mandel. Overall, Whitney's production was a good one, though in places the play seemed rather slow. Angie Stalder's entrance blocked Mark Shively but with a slight movement both were opened to give good characterization to the audience.

At times Angie was a little difficult to hear but her lines were well presented with motivated blocking. Angie and Mark were a positive team in this play.

The best facial expression in the play was the well done "henpecked" routine of John Owings and the "will you shut up" looks the wives gave the husbands. The setting was simple and suited its purpose well.

The only noticeable technical faults were the lighting hot spots and the fact that you could see Steph Goodell and John Owings waiting in the wings for their entrance.

Also presented was The Fonrsome by Eugene Ionesco directed by Kevin Hart. This play is from the "Theatre of the Absurd" and is mainly about the social classes inability to communicate with each other. There was good costuming for the character Dupont played by Fred Miner and for the lady played by Becki Young. The best characterization in the play was from Danny Emhke who played Durand.

John Owings repetitious movements detracted from his total character. The entrance of Becki Young was stunning. Attired in a peach colored evening gown accented with a balck sc:arf, she moved through her lines with the air of a high class hooker 'seductress.

Although she had few lines she remained in character until she broke as the curtain closed. The only technical fault was again the lighting.

Women's Awareness holds first meeting

by Kent Propst

A group of 18 interested people, including seven. men, the initial meeting of the women's Awareness Organization Wednesday, Nov. 3 in the Student Center.

The group briefly discussed .some ofthe clup's future goals, and talked about some of the general problems facing women in society today. The club also discussed the large attendance of males at the meeting and hpw they would be included in future meetings.

Also announced was a policy of barring the male section from some of the meetings. The reason given was some of the female members would perhaps talk more freely without men in attendance, rather than for "discriminatory" reasons. The organization hopes that this division will be broken down in the future, and all meetings will be open to both sexes.

The group discussed the possibility of changing the name to "People's Awareness," but it was felt that since the club would deal primarily with women's problems in society, the present name should stay.

meeting were Kelly Grube Linda Stordal, John Kirb Marsha Flanders, Tom Thoma Susan Stubbe, Steve Chatlai Mary Jo Bruggeman, Juli Garrett, Kent Propst, Sa.undr Krakow, Julie Sharpe, To Speight, Lee Rademacher, Bee Young, Chip Black and Ani Cole.

Dribble drivers sought

Who would want to bounce a basketball from Peru State College to the steps of the state capitol in Lincoln? Volunteers are being sought to do just that.

More than 150 Peru State students wat'.L to impress Governor J. J. Exon and Nebraska's state legislators with their desire for a new Health-Physical Education cen'.er at Peru.

They will participate in the 25hour "Bouncing Bobcat Dribble Drive" which leaves campus at noon Tuesday. Nov. 23, and meets the governor at the state capitol at 1:00 p.m. Wednesday. The voluntarv student effort has three objectives: They want to publicize the need to replace PSC's 7:l-year-old gym; to show the support of southeast Nebraskans for a new facility at Peru, and to raise money for a new

trampoline "to keep things bouncing" after the dribble drive.

Students are asking residents who back the proposal throughout the region to support their effort with a contribution. Dribble drivers plan to average three miles per hour along the road. By leaving Peru at noon Tuesday they will dribble west on Highway 67 to 73-75 and arrive at Nebraska Citv between 7:00-7:30 p.m. From 'Nebraska City they will proceed west on Highway 2 to Lincoln.

Volunteers from the PSC faculty and staff will escort the "Dribble Drivers" along the route. Everyone who has participated will meet at Cheney at 8:00 a.m. Wednesday and form a caravan into Lincoln.

Following the business in Lincoln, an evening of entertainment is planned.

Band Suffering Ends

bv Steve Chatelain

"Neither rain, nor sleet, nor dark of hight will keep these swirt couriers from their appointed task," is the slogan associated with those unfortunate flatfoots of the maligned United States Postal Service.

But, in many ways, marching bands, and specifically, the Peru State Bobcat marching band are like those proverbial couriers. Granted, I doubt that Dr. Edris has ever passed, or for that matter. even had reason to take a civil service exam. And though I have never seen any of his charges operating a red, white and blue jeep in the northbound direction of a southbound lane, I still note some basic similarities.

It is often argued, in the holy land of the intelligentsia, that mailman and bandsmen share a unique. spiritual sense of purpose. However, I've noticed that the parallel occasionally descends into the physical realm.

Like the postman, the bandsman's work is seldom postponed because of a few drops of rain, a rustling fa!! breeze, or a single digit servants have come to the grirri awareness that neither the publics want of punctual mail deiher'i nor it's taste for "Steadfast and True" dwindle in foul weather.

Also, like the postman, the bandsman must possess a jaunty step with plenty of knee lift and Cadet-like precision. Public opinion, when there is any, is of paramount importance to both parties.

And finally, like the postman, the bandsman must be willing

and able to contribute long hours in preparation apd performance, knowing full well that people come to see the football game, and are usually anxious for the second half to begin.

With these sacrifices in mind, I would like to thank Dr. Edris and his band for their contribution to the fall season. And I hope that they would not waver from the, precedent that "neither early morning departures, nor Ioi;g bus rides, nor cold afternoons, nor losing football games. nor even supper at McDonald's will ever keep them from entertaining those of us who spent halftimes in the stands."

The making of Peru State

, by Pam Hamblin

In this bicentennial year, it is nice to pause and reflect on. the history of things. Most especially during this academic year, it can be fun to stop and consider bow Peru State College came to be. According to the History of Nemaha County, the first consideration of the building of a college at Peru came in 1865. · Important men in the community contributed money toward it's building. Major Daily said that be would not contribute

money toward the building of a church but he would toward the building of a school. He contNbuted $500. Dr. Neal said that he would give as much as any other man. W. W. Smith gave a deed to eighty acres of land worth $800 and through contributions of other people, there was enough money to begin the project. On March 27, 1866, several hundred people watched the laying of the first cornerstone. The first building was 40 x 80 feet and three stories high. The first class in the new

building was held on December 23. This new school started out under the auspices of the Methodist church. Soon after that it appeared as though Mount Vernon College, as PSC was first called, was running short of funds. At the next session of the legislature. Wiliam Daily and T. J. Majors tendered the property to the state for a normal school. The proposition was accepted. $3000 was appropnated to t1msh the building and besides this twenty sections of saiine lands lying ·in Lancaster Count; were set aside as endowment. 'l'h\s first board of education !or me said normal school consislHJ of Superintendant of Public instruction, Beals, State Treasurer

""' Sweet, S. P. Majors. D. C ; o!e J. F. Neal. A. B. Fuller. ano William Dailv. This board heic its first meeting in August, 1368. and October 24, 1869, the first regular term of the normal school was held. Since that date there have been added improvements to grounds and buildings every year, and the attendance has increased and the scholarship each year has improved.

Today Peru State College is the pride of the entire state and has educated many young people. At the second session of the

PERU VIEWS

AND PED SLANTS

LFar Out ] ,,

By Lance Wilson

Movies give us a look into our' own lives and society that we rarely get to see. In the last few years we have seen people burned, possessed, eaten alive (both at sea and on land), crushed by falling buildings and hijacked. Rape, murder, demons, and terrorism are what people see about them· selves. The majority of these movies are based on real life, not science fiction.

We have been scared to the point that some people won't go swimming, camping, take a plane, or even live near an earthquake zone. Yet nobody will stand up for what is considered right.

·Then, suddenly, you see a movie that shows someone standing up for what is right. Dirty Harry and Death Wish both showed men that, when pushed too far, fight back and win a victory. Though their victories didn't change any laws or make people better, they did do justice. Before justice could be dealth, the instigator had to be pushed.

How far must PSC be pushed?

As Vigilante said in Death Wish, "What do you call a civilization that, when faced with fear, runs and hides?"

How about America? Or Peru?

After 107 years of being pushed around, isn't it time yet?

Congratulations to all the winners, and our condolences to those

Boston alum speaks

by Steve Chatelain

The Science club president of the 1920 PSC graduating class, a promoinent Boston surgeon, recently spoke at the Omaha Mid-West Clinical Society's annual postgraduate assembly.

Dr. Richard H. Overholt is the son of Roland D. Overholt, who served as registrar at PSCfrom 1909 to 1928. Dr. Overholt, a University of Nebraska medical school graduate, is the emeritus director of the Overholt Thoracic Clinic in Boston, which specializes in the treatment of lung cancer.

A yearly chest x-ray is urged for persons over 40, Overholt said. He added that cigarette smokers should be x-rayed three times a year. In this w.aY; the cancer .can be caught and treated before it has spread

from a small location. The chances of treatment success is improved with early detection.

At the Overholt clinic 442 persons are on a five year treatment program. Nearly one third of' these cases were believed terminal by the surgeons, but early detection and treatment have aided the success of the program.

Overholt has singled out cigarette smoking as the most active, single contributor to lung 1isorders. He said, "If we could create a society of nonsmokers, we would eliminate half of all cases of cancer."

Overholt said that he wants health departments to recognize cigarette poisoning in smoking related death certificates. "Think what an impact it would have on the public if obituary stories said the official cause of death was cigarette smoking, " he concluded.

problems

b\' Diane lJher

Ashortage of teachers, a need of modern equipment, and a different wiring system are just a few of the many problems that Peru State College's Home Economics Department has, said Arlene Fell, head of the department.

The Home Ee program has slowly been going downhill at PSC and so has the number of students that attend this college in that field. Fell feels there are two major reasons for this. One is that PSC doesn't offer a teaching degree in Home Ee. The degree that PSC does offer is Family, Home and Consumer Economics. The only job that is available with it is one with large companies and sometimes these companies prefer persons with a teaching degree.

"Out of the fifteen girls with majors in this field at PSC, only two really want it and the rest will probably transfer to another college to get the degree they want," said Fell. She feels that is bad for the college. "Most girls that come to this college are from rural areas and want to teach in these areas after graduation. The only place they can get jobs with a degree from PSC is in large cities. After they learn this and see our facilities they start looking for another college."

The second maJor reason tor the decrease of Home Ee students is the facilities and the condition of most of the equipment. The department's washer, .which came to it from one of the dorms, doesn't have a cold rinse cycle so this has to be done by hand. Another problem is the wiring is so poor that when two things are plugged in an outlet a fuse is blown. Also with one hot water heater for the whole department there is always a shortage of hot water.

To try and combat these many problems, Fell and Dr. Clyde Barrett, vice-president of Academic Affairs, are going to meet with the State Department of Education in December. There they will find out whether they should try to appropriate funds to modernize and expand the ro ram or to continue the

present program and make few reoairs.

Fell 'said one possibility th are now considering is running Pre-Home Economics progra like most junior colleges inste of the present one. If the department was to g the money lo improve th program Fell said that it wou be hard to decide where to begi A ma1or overhaul of t facilities and another teach would probably be the first tw things on the list.

Fell said that in her opinio the present Home Ee program a PSC is ridiculous and could much better. She said, "T girls are still learning becau the classes are so small, but th could be better prepared a ready for the job competition the equipment and facilities the are working with now were mor realistic."

By the time we're old enough to have children. we·ve been thoroughly sold on the idea. By ouf parents. our grandparents. our friends and neighbors. the media. everyone. It's hard to remember we ever had a choice in the first place. But there is a choice. Having a child is a tremendous responsibility and an important decision. Probably the most Important decision we'll ever make. And once ifs made, it can never be undone. Just remember you do have a choice. So think about it. and do what's right for you.

The second PSC sponsored high school girl's basketball tournament will be held in the college gymnasium on Jan. 24 and 25, according to women's athletic department staff member Pat Gilbert.

The first tournament was held two years ago as the girl's team from Auburn high school won the championship. Last year the tournament was again scheduled but condemnation of the old gym bleachers forced the event to be called off.

Teams from Nehawka, Douglas, Nemaha Valley and Omaha Mercy will be. vying for the championship trophy. The first game each evening begins at 6:30 p.m.

$50,000 donated by area couple

The largest single financial contribution to the college. during its entire history was donated recently, according to Peru Achievement Foundation President, Joseph Masopust. A donation of $50,000 was received by the Foundation from a southeast Nebraska couple for the college's proposed health and physical education center. The couple wished to· remain anonymous.

"This contribution is a giant step forward for our fund drive in support of the health and physical education center for Peru State College," Masopust said. He continued: "We are extremely fortunate to have residents of southeast Nebraska like this family who share our interest in Peru State and who are willing to demonstrate their interest by contributions of their time, talents and financial resources."

Masopust said that the foundation was confident that the gift would "serve as a · catalyst for future gifts." He added that the combined efforts of southeast Nebraskans would insure the success of the

construction ·proposal.

The proposal is before the legislature and is reportedly near the top of the Board of Trustee's priority list for new capital construction

Workshop offered

An in-service workshop, "SelfExpression Through Music," will be presented by the college's special education on three successive Saturdays, beginning Jan. 22.

According to Dr. Esther Divney, the head of the special education department, the workshop is intended to present to area elementary school teachers "new and usable ideas for students to find self-expression through music." Music helps in the development. of rhythm,

which, she said, aids both reading and speaking. She added that the workshop has been designed to present music teaching techniques to regtllar classroom teachel'S who have students with· · reading or speaking deficiencies.

The consultant for the workshop is Joan Fankhauser. Mrs. .Fankhauser is the elementary vocal music teacher in the Auburn school system.

As the Pedagogian begins its Spring operation, I would like to welcome students back to the campus, confirm to you that this paper is essentially yours and will strive to be responsive to your. ideas and comments, and outline our editorial policy.

One of my grade school classmates had a scheme for preventing fatal injuries from headon automobile collisions. In essence the design cal led for the seats to flip ·backwards immediately upon impact.

The system looked pretty foolproof, and indeed some of his buddies were ready to revolutionize Detroit when a rather embarrasing oversight was· pointed out. What they failed to realize was how ridiculous a girlwatcher would look after gently bumping another car at a stoplight.

In case you are wondering, there is a thread of relevancy running through all of this-and it concerns the editorial policy of this paper. Occasionally, a fault of college newspaper personnel is that they take themselves too seriously when they get behind a typewriter; they become reactionaries. This type of react.ion, that fires off at any administrative faux pas or petty campus scandal, can, like the driver above, look pretty foolish when the cards are al I played.

In light of this, this editor resolves that controversial issues · bearing editorial scrutiny, wi II be given it as truthfully, as fairly, and as concisely as possible.

Furthermore, my greates.t hope for this paper is that it will be appreciated and respected for' what it is-a laboratory in practical journalism. Hopefully, my staff, and myself, will earn the paper that respect and appreciation before the end of the semester.

As 1 mentioned earlier; this paper is a college paper and only through your written or spoken correspondence can we attempt tO

be responsive to you. To facilitpte this we are continuing the two forums; the letters to the editor and the prompt response line, from the fall paper. In addition, depending upon your interest, we would like to print an "I Like" column to. R!"Omote positivity on our campus. During the remainder of this semester we are inviting anyone so motivated to address the campus through this column.

I might suggest that the column be used for notes of appreciation or as a means of relating an interesting experience.

I would also ask that all correspondence be limited to less than 100 words, i.f possible, because of our space limitations.

Finally, I would like to publicly express my layman appreciation to students and faculty who had a part in three fine-art productions at the conclusion of last semester.

Roland Barrett has entertained many friends of the college over the past four years with his trumpet playing. Near the end of last semester Roland presented his senior trumpet recital before. an unusually large crowd at Benford recital hall. He gave a fine performance, but it was merely indicative of any of his past performances-and of his exceptional dedication to his music.

Du.ring that same week, Anne Jones, an art major' presented her senior exhibit. in Diddel Court. Being even less qualified to · critique paintings than trumpet playing, I can on.ly say that the display was very pleasing to view and a testament to the great ·amount of work she has done in her years here.

Lastly, another thank you is in order for the entertainment provided by all of those associated with "DragonWatch." To an outsider, the amount of coordinated effort involved in a production such as that is in- · conceivable and consequently overlooked, often times. ·

WouM you steal a loaf of bread from the supermarket if only you were starving?

Would you steal it from a friend?

Would you steal your friend's bre.ad if he were also starving?

Suppose you weren.'t really starying but you were very hungry. · Wouid you steal a loaf of bread from the supermarket if you were sure of not getting caught? If everyone you knew stole bread whenever he could get away with it, would you also steal it?

Variations on this kind of question are endless, but whenever you answer you are making a moral decision. Most ·moral. decisions, like this question!- offer no strict right and strict wrong to choose from. Instead, a person must decide what is most right or least wrong.

What do you consider when you msike these kinds of decisions? Do you think about the degree of wrong, who could be hurt, possible

consequences of your action, safety, social acceptability of what _you are doing? How did you learn to deal with moral and ethical problems?

In· the Omaha area a mythical child named Harry Stottlemeyer is causing quite a sti_r. Harry appears. in ·an experimental program designed to make children. think about moral questions and how they make their own decisions.

Most people learn their moral behavior from adult models at home, in church, or at school. As children, they often imitate the people around them without actually thinking much about it. Decision-making habits formed in childhood are often carried into adulthood.

Is that good? Is it bad? If it is bad, should the schools assume responsibility for changing the way children think about moral questions? Should that responsibility more rightly belong to the parents and-or the church? Isn't it true that some children have no place other than school in which they can recieve this kind of instruction? What do you think?

Greenhouse to be remodled

from p. l

We have picked up quite a number of faculty members in the last three years without a lot of enrollment change- we have stabilized enrollment but an increase has not been shown, yet. It is our job now, to produce and show that enrollment increase.

Annuals (the SGA has initiated the publishing of a yearbook this springl.

We have had alumni tell us, upon looking back, that an annual is one of the most valuable experiences-memory joggers-that they had. To me that is what an annual is all about. It is a capsilization of the year to refer to for personal or even business reasons. The more years that pass, the bigger the treasure becomes.

I am pleased that the interest is being rejuvenated and that it looks like it is going to go.

Future use of the vacant caretakers home (the building is located at the east. end of the. boiler-garage building).

There have been two segments of the college which have approached us about the building. One is the foundation (Peru Achievem.ent Foundation)

assured that there will be a greenhouse, however.

It will be located at the same place. We are going to use the same foundation and put a new top <glass and frame) on it.

For the last two years the Board of Trustees has been given, by the legislature, a set amount of money to disperse between the four state college campuses for. physical upkeep of the buildings and grounds.

That is the fund that we have to go back ,to to get money (for the greenhouse), but in doing that we .have to compete with the other state colleges because they are all coming in for the same dollars.

Senior Days (Story located in another part of the issue).

We feel that if we get the students here (oit Senior Day) we stand a better chance of getting them to enroll as a student later on We have tried to organize one program, bring everybody in at the same time, and upgrade the qua Ii ty of that program We are

· Attracting new students

What a college has to do is line up, in an honest fashion, the students perceived needs with what ; you (as a college admissions person) are able to provide. You can not mislead people-it does not pay off in the long run. We feel that Senior Days will come closer to showing the student what we have to offer than some of the things that we have done in the past.

"Forum" has 18 parts; 12 of which, Bingham said, could be considered fairly large. He added, however, that unlike many musicals "Forum" has parts for singers and nonsigners alike. He said that he wished to encourage anyone to tryout for a part, regardless of their previous theatrical experience of academic major.

Three students were named by Bingham as technical designers for the production, Kevin Hart and Don Doxon are designing and constructing the lighting. Rob McKercher is designing the set and will oversee the construction of it. The setting calls for facades of three Roman houses side by side across the stage.

Dr. Royal Eckert is in charge of the costuming for the players, Bingham said.

Although the play was copywritten in 1962, Bingham said the plot was much older.

Shouse collects 36

'Cats drop semester opener

by Tom Banks

Peru State opened [heir second-semester season with a 78-68 loss to the Doane Tigers at Crete Thursday, Jan. 13. The loss left Peru at 2-8, while the Tigers raised their record to 12-4.

The win marked Doane's 18th consecutive victory in Fuhrer Fieldhouse. Balanced team scoring ·and aggressive board play enabled the Tigers to ease away from a narrow 39-37 halftime advantage.

Peru was spearheaded by sophomore guard Danny Shouse, the state's· · leading scorer,.

who finished with 36 points. Peru was slowed by the loss of first semester starters Carl Jones, a guard, and two-year starter Aubrey Matthews, who elected not to attend PSC this semester.

Both Matthews and Jones were averaging in the double figures.

Doane was led by 6'6" junior center Tony Strong, with 24 points and 17 rebounds. His strong defensive play forced Peru to rely heavily on guard Shouse's outside shooting.

Peru's interior defense was crippled when junior Kenny Johnson, playing his first game for the Bobcats, fouled out with

13: 00 minutes to play. Also seeing his first action Thursday was guard Greg Sanders, who finished with seven points.

Forward Rick Cooper turned in a good performance for Coach Jack· Stewart's cagers, snaring five rebounds and scoring 11 points, second high for the team.

Doane placed four players in double figures. In addition to Strong's 24, the Tigers were helped by Russ Anders01;1's 18, mostly in the second half.

Upcoming games for PSC are Thursday, Jan. 20 at home against Chadron; Jan. 21 at Tarkio, and Jan. 26 on the Peru Maples against Wayne.

Semester ends with losses

The winter athletic teams each ended the first semester with losing records. The women's basketball team finished 2-3, the men's basketball team finished 2-7, and the wrestling team finished 2-3.

The women participated in the Chadron State College Holiday tournament and lost their first two games to Mt. Marty and to the host school before beating South Dakota Tech. Their record, as they began second semester action, was 3-5.

How's he do it? do it

The leading scorer and rebounder for the Bobki ttens through the first semester and holiday action, was Becky Graham. She averaged 11.2 points and 12 rebounds per game.

The wrestlers were idle this vacation, as, according to sports information director, Marlene Joy, two scheduled contests were cancelled. Both the Dec. 14 match with· UNO and the Jan. 8 match with the University of Wisconsin (Eau Claire) were called off, Mrs. Joy said.

The leader of the Bobcat wrestlers seems to be Kent Coleman, Oakland, Ia., who has

pinned eight opponents on his way to a 9-3 record. Mark Yori; Northeast, Pa., is 8-4. After an impressive four game · finish of the first semester, in which they defeated Midland and Dana and lost close decisions to Kearney and Doane, the men's basketball team was idle during vacation. The team should be bolstered second semester with two additional players. Greg Sanders and Ken Johnson, two transfer students, are now eligible to play with the team.

The leading scorer for the Bobcats during the first nine games is Dan Shouse. He averaged 20.l points per ball game. Rick Cooper led the team in rebounding with 84.

Two of the teams are in action today The, women's basketball team is traveling to Doane for an evening game and the wrestlers are entertaining SWCC of Creston, Ia. The men's basketball team will host Chadron State College tomorrow evening at 7:30 p.m. in \he college gymnasium. · \ Other events in the next week are, for the women: An away game at Highland, Kans., on Jan. 25; for the wrestlers: A meet at Wayne State College on Jan. 21 and 22, and an away match at Central Tech College· on Jan. 25; and for the men's basketball team: An away game at Tarkio, Mo., on Jan. 21.

lntramurals underway

Ten teams a.re entered in the round robin schedule that will determine the 1977 intramural basketball champion, according to student intramural director Bill Fitzgerald. The nine-game season opened last night with six of the 10 teams competing.

Fitzgerald said that three games would be scheduled each Tuesday and Thursday night, but he indicated that this preliminary schedule might change depending upon varsity athletic action. The games will begin at 8, 9and 10 each evening.

Fitzgerald said that ties in records at the conclusion of the season would be broken after comparing the points scored and

allowed by each team. Last year, for instance, Indy-Ohio and the Cherry Pickers each sported like records at the end of the season. Indy-Ohio was named the championship squad, however, on the strength of its greater winning margins.

The intramural staff is also comtemplating sponsoring or- · ganized competition in other , sports later in the spring, Fitzgerald said. He indicated that a softball league and a tennis tournament might be developed if the interest is high enough.

The intramural and recreation director for the college is Dr. Tom Fitzgerald.

Doane Tigers Coach Bob Erickson watches in wonder as Peru's Dan Shouse (11) zeroes in for two of his 36 points at Crete last Thursday. Tigers won out, however, 78-68.,

Ray Christie (15) homes in on the net in Peru's Jan. 13 contest with the Doane Tigers. Waiting for the rebound is Bobcat Don Martindale (41).

'Senior Days' attracts 160

Nearly 160 high school seniors visited the PSC campus last Thursday and Friday during Senior Days, an admissions program initiated this year. According to Bradley Hall, director of the college admissions office, the program went "very well."' He said that comments from visiting students and parents were favorable to the two-day retreat.

Hall said that students came primarily from the four-state area of Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Illinois.

The visitors checked-in on Thursday evening before attending the Peru-Chadron basketball game and a dance. On Friday morning the prospective stud· ents were shown around campus by PSC students and were allowed to sit in on classes that were in session.

At noon Dr. Douglas Pearson addressed the high school students during a Presidential luncheon. Following the meal the visitors were able to discuss various aspects of college life with faculty members and administra fors.

Hafl said that nearly all of the 160 students had been contacted by the admissions department prior to the program. But Senior · Days gave students a more valid picture of the college, he said.

A large turnout of prospective Peru State students were 'on hand for "Senior Days,':._for area high schoolers. On hand to talk to them was John Billings of the Admissions Department.

Financial aid situation to improve?

by Tom Sundeen

The availability of financial aids for riext year could be showing signs of according to Don Miller, Director of Financial Aids. Recommendations on allocations for PSC now being considered in Washington should· equal or surpass fundings of the past, he said.

One of the programs offered to students is the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant. An_y undergraduate student who is enrolled on at least a half-time basis may apply for this grant. Application are at the financial aids office but if you were eligible for the BEOG program this academic year, next year's form will be mailed to you. Some students with exceptional financial need may qualify for the Educational Opportumty Grant (SEOG). This program is set up similar to the BEOG.

The National Direct Student Loan (NDSL) provides aid to those students who need a loan to meet their educational expenses. Repayment of this begins nine months after leavmg school and you may allow ten years to repay the loan. Interest does begin to accrue on the loan until the repayment period begins, and then at a rate of three per cent.

Through your own bank you may be able to take advantage of the Guaranteed Student Loan Program. If you qualify for ; these benefits, the Federal government will pay the interest

,'Playful' students

earn high marks

by Diane Uher

Peru State College students spend more time playing and working than studying, but their grade point averages are above "normal."

That was one of the findings of a survey taken last semester on campus.

One hundred male and female students, mostly freshmen and sophomores who live on campus, were surveyed as a project of the general psychology class.

James DeMers, teacher of the class, said the results of the survey should be a matter of concern for both teachers and students.

Astudent should study, on the minimum, one to three hours per credit hour and most of the students here are studying much less than that and they are still getting above average grades.

"For example, a student carrying 15 credit hours should study, outside of class, 15 to 45 hours. and ·sometimes more .depending on the rate the student can get things done," said DeMers.

Another interesting finding of the survey was that women spend almost three times more hours on entertainment than men do, with the average around 10 hours per week.

Wreathea Hicks, assistant professor of English, said that this surprises her.

more men'than women work, the women worked slightly more hours per week.

About 14 hours per week were spent on extra activities, such as sports, music, clubs, and plays. The men averaged slightly more hours than the women.

The average number of credit hours taken for the semester was about 16, with the men carying about two more credit hours than the women.

The grade point average of the students was above six with the men having a slightly higher grade average than the women.

Sleeping, partying, and sex were the top .three spare time activities listed by men and women.

The average time spent studying ranged from 0-20 hours per week, but the majority of students studied between 0-10 hours. Men spent about the same amount of time studying as did women.

According to the survey an average PSC student spends about 15 hours working, 10 hours playing, and 20 or less hours studying. '

The survey was taken by two psychology students, Helen Francis and Kristin Weiss, for extra credit. This was the first year such a survey was taken.

for you until you must begin repaying the loan. College work -study is probably the program most familiar to Peru students. Mr. Miller thinks there is an excellent chance for more job opportunities in the 1977-78 school year, allowing more students to earn part of their expenses.

1f you apply for aid you can expect your eligibility to .be based on three factors. Your position in school (returning student, transfer, new), your degree· of financial need, and · your grade point average will all be considered.

To insure proper processing of your aid applications you should begin planning for next year soon. Mr. Miller suggests that anyone interested should his applications horr:e durmg spring recess. This would probably be a good time to go over the forms with your parents. They w!ll need infor· mation from their current tax records to complete the applications. All necessary preparations should be started by April 15. For more information contact· the ·financial aids department. They are there to help you, and it may be well worth your while.

Merz selected

The freshman state senator from the, first district, Nelson Merz of Falls City, was recently elected chairman of an informal

coalition of the 12 incoming senators. The group will meet for discussion purposes primarily, the new chairman said.

The only explanation she can give is that most of the students surveyed were freshmen and sophomores.

Other findings of the survey included:

Forty-three per cent of the students work at part-time jobs about 15 hours per week. While

DeMers said the project gave the girls a chance to first study different theories, then experiment and apply the theories. He said it also taught them such practical things as how to make questionnaires, record statistics, and make measurements. He said they all seemed enthusiastic and he hopes next semester to expand the projects so the students will have more to choose from.

Open Shop J

The Kremlin was .thrown into chaos recently when newly installed President Carter disclosed that he would wear blue-jeans on weekends. Despite the Soviets' obvious apprehension concerning this situation it is felt by many that the President's move was a positive that he would not allow official protocol to mess up the works of his administration. This relaxed attitude, although it may take Washington by surprise; should lend itself to shoring up the blistered reputation of politics.

But in one respect President Carter has gone too far. He has shown utter disrespect for the solemnity of his office and of his predecessors. This shortcoming is bound to cast a disturbing reflection upon international politics, at the very least. For instance, picture foreign diplomats trying to conduct straight-faced,' high level discussions with a President JIMMY.

Jimtnys don't run countries, they host Mouseketeer shows or provide

comic relief for Superman. When people think of a Jimmy they think of the kid down the block with the butch-cut and the n,mny nose. They think of The Greek or football players but a President? That's absurd.

Granted "Miss Lillian" probably looking ahead to 1976 when she tacked that "m-y" on her sons name. And it certainly wasn't Carter's fault that he grew up in the land of eternal youth-where Jim and "EE" go together like His and Hers bunnies.

But why, in the of Rhett Butler, didn't he do something about .it when he began making eyes at the marble and stone of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

It's too late now, for Mr. Carter, but its not too late for parents to learn from "Miss· Lillian's" mistake. Everybody wants his kid to be President some day, so why not give him a break. Alfred's a good name, and so is Harold, and Abraham's popular, too-but please people, no more Jimmys.

This year's freshman group has the best chance of becoming a real "class." They seem aware and concerned with the future of Peru State-but unless they get started soori, they will just be another divided class.

All that Stuff

by Anita .Cole

Lastweek you may have noticed some new people on campus. Some of them may have been wearing blue name tags or strange looking clothes and make up. None seemed very familiar with PSC.

Those new people were high school students who came here for Senior Days or the one act play contest.

In the coming months, there will be several days when high school students will be visiting the campus. When they aren't involved with whatever activity brings them to PSC, they will be looking around and talking fo people, forming an idea of what this college is like.

somE1 QL them wi 11

decide they like PSC enough to return when it is time for them to attend college. Many factors will influence the total impression these students will get, but one of the major factors will be you.

Sure, buildings and equipment and all those other things are important, but people are what make a college what it is. If you like it here,- you can show other people that they could like it here also.

When you see a new face on campus, be friendly. Try to help someone who is curious about or seems unfamiliar with surroundings. Who knows? A high school student you befriend in the months ahead, could become a good friend to you next fal I.

Barb Lohmeier, one of the Morgan Hall girls, can now take a shower without fear of falling paint and plaster. The situation was remedied over Christmas vacation. by Diane Uher

"What a change!"

That was the comment of a few girls as they returned to Morgan Hall after Christmas vacation.

The change they were referring to was new paint in the lobby and three of the bathrooms.

Last semester a story was done in the .Ped about the complaints and the dissatisfaction of the girls using the seowers.

During vacation the showers were painted and now most of the girls are happy'.

J"It really looks better," said Bridget Hoover, one of the girls

on second floor. "Now we don't have to worry about falling plaster when we're showering."

The lobby was also painted during t)le first few days of school. There were many complaints about. the smell but most of the girls were glad to see it done.

"I think the bright green color definitely. lightens up the lobby. compared to that pale yello that was there before," sai Linda Uher, one of th housemothers of Morgan Hall "I know most people will like th change because many peopl complained about the color before it was painted."

COMPLAINT: Yeah-this here is Joe-and if you don't start issuing tickets out there at the Complex for illegal parking, I'm going to hit every one of those cars.

ANSWER: Hey, Joe, don't panic. We are issuing tickets to those illegally parked cars. I counted the tickets issued and 20 cars have been cited. Many people have called about this

Cagers win two of three; Tarkio squeaks by

The Peru State College men's basketball team won their third game of the season, 98-71 over Dana College, Monday, Jan. 17 at Peru.

The first. half featured balanced scoring for Peru State, with guards Greg Sanders and Dan Shouse scoring 13 and 12 points respectively Six other Bobcats scored enroute to a 54-42 halftime lead.

The second half saw Peru open up a 20-point lead on numerous occasions, and come within a basket of the century mark for the final score. Peru Coach Jack Stewart substituted freely in the second half as he experimented with many player combinations. The state college's leading scorer, Danny Shouse, led nine Cats in the scoring column with 22 points. Kenny Johnson followed with 17 points, 18 rebounds, and a number of crowd pleasing blocked shots.

Greg Sanders scored 17, Rick Spears and Ray Christie scored 10 each, Don Martindale ·had eight, Rick Cooper scored six points and Bob Peterson and Bill Bruhn each scored four points to· support the Peru attack.

PERU 68, Chadron State 67

Forward Ricky Cooper scored with no time left on the clock to give Peru State a thrilling 68-67 win over Chadron State Thursday, Jan. 20, at Peru. The ·important Nebraska College Conference tilt left Peru at 4-8 and 1-1 in conference play.

Cooper, a 6'3" sophomore,

grabbed the rebound following Bobcat guard Dan Shouse's missed shot with two seconds remaining, and his five foot shot fell through at the buzzer. Cooper finished with 14 points.

Peru also led the Eagles at halftime by a single point, 38-37.

Chadron State built up a five point lead, the largest of the night, with 2:35 to play and the score at 67-62.

The Bobcats came back and a bucket by Cooper put them within reach, 67-66 with 1:42 remaining CSC slowed the tempo down and, after a missed Peru State shot with :11, secured the rebound and, apparently, the game. However, Chadron was whistled for travelling, setting the stage for Cooper's heroics.

Shouse continued his stateleading scoring assault, collecting 24 points and game high honors on the night. Ken Johnson followed with 16, and his devastating defense excited the highly vocal PSC crowd all night. Cooper's 14, five points by Bob Peterson, four for Greg Sanders, three by Don Martindale, and two by Rick Spears ended Peru scoring. Steve Coon led Chadron State with 19.

bowing to the host Tarkio Owls 65-63.

Jack Stewart's cagers played in spurts, leading 36-33 at the half but trailing by as much as 53-42 midway through the second lialf. Just when Tarkio appeared ready to put the game out of reach, the Bobcats employed a press and outscored their hosts 21-12 down the final stretch.

The Bobcats had a chance to win their third consecutive contest with :05 to play when Owl forward Larry Manz was given a technical foul with Tarkio leading 65-62.

State scoring leading Dan Shouse hit his first free throw attem pt (to complete scoring), but

Dr. Gomon is ill; No speaker at convo

Dr. Neal Gomon, former president of PSC, will be unable to speak at the Honors Convoca· tion this morning because of illness. according to the office of Dr. Clyde Barrett, vice-president of academic .affairs.

Gomon entered the Nemaha County Hospital over the weekend. and it was learned Mondav morning that he would be unable to fulfill his speaking engagement.

Barrett's office indicated that no attempt would be made to find a replacement speaker on such short notice.

Gomon was president of PSC for 21 years and retired in 1972 following a heart attack.

He now holds the honorary title of President Emeritus of PSC for his many years of faithful service.

He came to the college in 1950 as acting head of the English department and in the fall term

of 1951 he neplaced Wayne Reed as president. The next 21 years were ones of great changes for PSC.

First Gomon initiated the face-lifting of PSC by directing the remodeling of the administration building, the auditorium, the library, the science hall, Morgan hall and the Oak Bowl.

He also directed the construction of the student center, the Centennial complex, Majors hall, the Fine Arts building, and the faculty and student housing.

With these improvements the enrollment of PSC steadily rose and later the cirriculum and the staff of teachers were enlarged.

In 1971 Gomon again tried to add to PSC by asking the legislature for a vocational, technical school for Peru. This effort failed.

In May of 1972 Gomon suffered a heart attack and was replaced by Max Smith, Vice-President of Academic Affairs.

Blind prof earns doctorate

by Diane Uher

Those who say, "It a can't be done" shouldn't interfere with those who are doing it. This is the life motto of Richard Gulizia assistant professor of education PSC wh.o recently: earned a doctorate in education from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. ·

"Getting my Ph.D. has been my goal for ten years," said Gulizia. "I think everyone, including people with handicaps like mine, want to achieve the highest position in his profession."

Gulizia said that he ·has met resistance from many people since he started his college education in 1962. "I switched mv major from business to education after being discouraged by many of my teachers who said a blind man couldn't compute numbers."

Gulizia said he decided to get his doctorate in September of 1969. Again he met resistance.

"Everyone kept asking me if I thought I was able ,to teach," said Gulizia. "At times I became very discouraged and wonde:ed if I really could teach and 1f I should go on."

"It was a great relief when I received my doctorate. To earn it I had taken three hours a

semester while teaching and had gone to summer school every year." he said. "I just hope I have an opportunity to use it."

Gulizia said he was glad it was over but he plans on continuing his education by ·becoming a licensed psychologist. He would also like to take some law classes. Gulizia believes education should be a "life long project."

In recent years, Gulizia has proved to many people his ability· to teach. "I know some students are not comfortable in my classes at first, but I try to set them at ease with a joke," he said.

"Oh," Gulizia added with a smile, "You can tell anyone who reads this article and likes it to show his gratitude by sending me or the Ped staff a dollar."

Five Peru students in SBI program

Five PSC business students will take part in a nationwide Small Business Institute (SBil program whereby local small businesses are given in-depth counseling from college students. The students participating in the program during the second semester are Randy Bohling, Johnson: James Bopp, Spalding: John Dierking. Tecumseh: Marcus Harper. Cincinnati, Ohio: and Bud Kimball. Papillion. PSC's SB! coordinators. Russell Beldin and Bob Lewellen indicated that' in the past the program has received overwhelming response from area small business owners. They added that the college could provide three area small businesses with counseling services this spring.

The past success of the program was documented in a recent "Wall Street Journal" article It said: "The college students were part of the Small Business Institute. a program that links business schools, small businesses and t.he Small Business Administration. Under the SB! progra1D. business students give free counseling to entrepreneurs. most of them SBA borrowers. The program started in !972 with 36 schools · participating. The number of schools has climbed to about 400. Some 8.000 businesses used the program in 1976."

According to the SBI state coordinator. Dr. Bill Randall. JO Nebraska schools have counseled more than 150 small businesses this year. already. In .addition to PSC the following schools are· enrolled in the program: Chadron State College. Creighton University. Doane College. Hastings College. Kearney State College. Midland College. University of Nebraska at Lincoln. University of Nebraska at Oma·ha. and Wavne State College.

T·he "Wall Street Journal" article said that a recent Small Business Administration survey indicated that 87.4 per cent of the businesses that had used the student counseling services of the SBI called the program good, very good or excellent.

Prof discovers minerals

by Gene Browning

A mineral named after one of Peru's professors? Unfortunately, Professor Scott Williams' discovery of five new minerals will be named after other geologists as Williams is a common enough name that there was already a mineral using that name.

Williams, who is a specialist in mineralogy, teaches geology and geography. His find came in 1960 when he was in Arizona doing mineral consulting work. One weekend, he took a field trip across the border to an abandoned gold mine in Mexico. As he was looking through piles of a type of rock that nor"'.ally contained gold, he noticed 'several strange minerals that he could not identify. One of the

best specimens. Williams said, was laying right in the pathway. "The minute I picked it up, I knew it was a new mineral." Five new minerals were later verified in his specimens. Verification of a new mineral takes several years. so pamphlets on Williams' finds have only been recently published. with information on the first four minerals appearing in 1969 and 1970. and a pamphlet on the fifth mineral. Zemannite, being circulated presently. These pamphlets are circulated to geologists all over the world, Williams added.

Professor Williams also pointed out that the prime goal of a mineralogist is to find a new mineral, and so, a find of five minerals is a very noteworthy achievement.

All that Stuff·

by Anita Cole

If you want a yearbook, buy it now! That was the word from SGA representative, Tom Speight.

February is the last month for yearbook sales and there are 99 yearbooks left to be sold.

But, you say, ten dollars is a pretty large sum. Why spend it on a yearbook?-Ten dollars would go pretty far in a pinball machine and what fun is a book full of pictures of people you see every day?

Ten years from now you won't be seeing those people every day. You will probably be far from Peru and. the friends you have now. Your yearbook can be a valuable link to the past. It can help preserve memories of the people you met and the things you learned. in a very important time of your life.

Early yearbooks, some dating back to the turn of the century,

document the traditional values and changing of PSC. Students of today are able to learn something about their earlier counterparts while looking at the quaint fashions and hairstyles of past years.

Perhaps students in the year 2000 will have the same opportunity to learn about us. We will probably seem amusingly old-fashioned by their siandards.

Not only can buying a yearbook prove a valuable investment. for you, it can help PSC as well. Prospective students can learn about the college by looking at it. Contact Tom Speight if you want to buy a yearbook. If you are unable to locate Speight, contact any member of the SGA. Leave your name and how you can be reached. Most importantly, do it now! There isn't much time left.

It happens to the best of 'em

Some new students-and maybe some campus landmarkswho are finding it .difficult to fit into I.hat "old college routine" may find some solace in the following excerpts from "Uni1·ersity Days," a chapter in James Thurber's book, "My Life and Hard Times."

I passed all the other courses that I took at my University, but I could never pass botany. This was because all botany students had to spend several hours a week in a laboratory looking through a microscope at plant cells. and I could never see through a microscope. I never once saw a cell through a microscope. This used to enrage my instructor. He would wander around the laboratory pleased with the progress all the students were making in drawing the involved and, so I am told, interesting structure of flower cells, until he came to me. ''I can't see anything," I would

say. He would begin patiently enough, explaining how anybody can see through a microscope, · but he would always end up in fury, claiming that I could too see through a microscope but just pretended that I couldn't.

You were supposed to see a vivid, restless clockwork of sharply defined plant cells. "I see what looks like a lot of milk," I would fell him. This, he claimed, was the result of my not having adjusted the microscope properly, so he would readjust it for me, or rather, for himself. And I would look again and see milk.

"We'll try it," the professor said to me, grimly, "with every adjustment of the microscope known to man. As God is my witness, I'll arrange this glass so that you see cells through it or I'll give up teaching. In twenty-two years of botany, I--" He c.ut off abrupt!Y for he.was beginning to quiver au over' like Lionel _ .a.nd he

genuinely wishea to hold onto his temper; his scenes with me had taken a great deal out of him. So we tried it with every adjustment of the microscope known to man. With only one of them did I see anything but blackness or the familiar lacteal opacity, and that time I saw, to my pleasure and amazement, a variegated constellation of flecks, specks, and dots. These I hastily drew. The instructor, noting my activity, came back from an adjoining desk, a smile on his lips,and his eyebrows high in hope. He looked at my cell drawing. "What's that?" he demanded, with a hint of a squeal in his voice. "That's what I saw," I said. "You d_idn't, you didn't, you DIDN'T" he screamed, losing control of his temper instantly, and he bent over and squinted into the microscope. His head snapped up. "That's your eye!" he shouted. "You've fixed the lens so that it reflects! You've drawn your eye!"

IJLetter to the Editors

The following letter was received from Neil Sorensen in response to the article "Playful' students earn High Marks" in last weeks - Ped. Sorensen <'nt itied his correspondence Playful' Instructors at Peru (;ive' High Marks."

Another study done at Peru, which coincides with studies done at other colleges and universities by devoted students of psychology and sociology shows that the student's awareness of himself, 1tis feelings, of other's feelings, and the problems of the culture we live in (such as poverty and discrimination) .shows no significant growth after completing ·four years of undergraduate work. Is not the basic concept of interacting with our fellow human beings one· of the most important issues of the individuals growth and development

and the continued growth of a healthy culture? Are we not part of the problem .until we become part of the solution? How much interaction in the classroom or discussion do we have? How much does the instructor stimulate or motivate the student to develop into a growing, thinking individual? How can you expect to stimulate a student to study by expecting ;111d. or accepting "Parrot" feedback? · ·

Any significant learning that stays with us for any great period of time does not take place in this type of situation. The student must be stimulated and motivated for any significant learning to take place and. the instructor (hopefully a healthy individual) can help considerably in activating the students growth, interest, and goals.

COMPLAINT: Intramurals. I went out for varsity basketball this year. I stayed out for two weeks and got cut. Now I understand that I cannot play intramural basketball. Is there any way that I can get this rule changed to allow me to participate in the intramural program? Please respond by Thursday or Friday.

ANSWER: I turned this question over to Coach Jerry Joy and he quoted the following: "Eligibility Rules-Intramurals." "If a person has competed on a Varsity or Junior Varsity team .he must sit;-0ut a grace period of

lineone (1) year before he is eligible for that sport again. Example: If a person was on the varsity or Junior Varsity Basketball team for one week and. then quit the team or was dismissed from the team for any reason, he must consider that year as his grace period and he would not be eligible to play until one year after his varsity or junior varsity competition."

Coach Joy informed me that rules can be changed, especially if they will benefit Peru State College. I guess the question is, would changing or amending this rule help our intramurals program? What do you. th\nk?.

Cindy Reed expressed concern over the phone system in Delzell Hall. She mentioned that, occasionally, it is impossible to contact a student at the hall by .phone. She suggested a workstudy program, allowing for phone receptionists, might remedy the situation.

The repair of the present intercom system, which is reportedly not functioning properly, and the installation of independent access phones on the upper floors were other methods discussed that might allPviate tlw phone problem in Delzell.

Reed also questioned the feasibility of installation of thermal glass panes in the windows at the Complex. The electric heating registers are directly under the windows. The cold draft coming off of the · conventional.glass coo)s the hot air before it can circulate , through the room, she said.

She admitted that a complete replacement of window glass at the complex would be financially impractical but she voiced concern over the inefficiency of the present heating system.

On a related subject, Pearson stated that the college is

operating within a $178,000 utility budget tl'iis year. He indicated that the college would come close to exhausting that amount before the end of the fiscal year.

Kenny Fike mentioned that /something should be done to correct the drainage problems at the bottom of the steps south of the Bob Inn. He indicated that the problem was severe enough that someone might injure · themselves on the ice.

Fike also forwarded for consideration an informal prop;, osal whereby some new boiler equipment could be purchased and monitored by advanced science majors. He said that the new equipment would improve a deteriorating boiler system as well as provide a practical exercise in water analysis for students.

Jeff Tudor related comments from other students who wished to see the swimming pool open more often. Reed, who serves as a lifeguard at the pool, said that athletic director Jerry Joy does not allow the pool to be opened unless members of the depart-

Seven students have 9.0 averages

Perfect marks are honored at Convo

Seven PSC students who compiled perfect 9.0 gradepoint averages la!1t semester were honol'.ed for their achievement las.t Wednesday morning at the Honors Convocation.

Teresa Hahn, Louan M. Haneline, Loma G. Pollman, Lee D. Rademacher, Gerald A. Reichart, Betty K. White, and Marilyn Yeck received accolades from Dr. Clyde Barrett, vice-president of academic affairs, at the conclusion of the awards ceremony. One-hundred and eighty-seven other PSC students were honored for academic excellence ranging from distinction (7.25-8.00) to high distinction (8.00-8.49) to highest distinction (8.50-9.00).

Dr. Neal Gomon, former PSC president, was scheduled to address the convocation, but, according to Barrett, was unable to appear because of an illness. The students were not left without messages fitting the occasion, howev.er, as Dr. Lester Russell. president of the faculty association;• Dr. Douglas Pear• ·· sort. and Barrett traded inspirational words.

Russell asked the students not to understate their honors as they are indicative of"' industriousness and perserverance. He said that scholarship is one of the most important aspects of college life and concluded that excellence in scholarship represents a good return on a student's investment of time and money.

Pearson explained the purpose of an honors convocation. He said that public recognition of a student's exceptional achievements can generate a confidence that will allow him to successfully meet future challenges.

Pearson said that this confidence can cause a student to take a different approach to his classes. Students often begin a new class feeling as if they have a zero grade, he said. A better

Circle K sponsors marathon

by Pam Hamblin

"Dance for those who can't" are familiar words to PSC students these days. Those words are written on many posters around campus concerning the dance marathon being held Mar. 25 and 26. The marathon benefits research into the cause and treatment of muscular dystrophy.

Muscular dystrophy is a wasting away of muscles and loss of strength. According to "The New Illustrated Medical

and Health Encyclopedia," in a typical case a child, normal from birth, will begin to lose the , ability to use his legs properly at about age four or five. The back muscles become weak so the child cannot sit erect and soon the child becomes almost entirely incapacitated.

The dance marathon is being sponsored by Circle K, one of .PSC's service organizations. The _organization is a youth oriented outgrowth of Kiwanis International.

Earning perfect 9.0 gradepoint averages during the firstsemester were, from left, Lee Rademacher, Teresa Hahn, Betty White, Louan Haneline, Loma Pollman, Marilyn Yeck and Gerald Reichart. These students were among 194 that were recognized at the PSC Honors Convocation last week.

approach-a more self-assured approach-the President said, is one where a student begins a class feeling that he has a nine , grade-and is intent upon defending it.

Barrett also cited increased self-confidence as a primary

benefit of public recognition of academic excellence. He said that self-confidence gives a person "courage to shoulder new responsibilities and determination to tackle problems despite other's failures."

It should be an obligation of faculty and administrators to instill self-confidence, Barrett said. He added that students should never be satisfied until they have achieved confidence in themselves.

Circle K members help others

The Circle Kclub of Peru State College, sponsored by the Peru Kiwanis club is observing the tenth annual Circle K Week, Febr. 6-12.

Letter to the Edl'torS l

I am concerned over the present lack of adequate health care options here at Peru State College and believe the Peru State College students, faculty and administration should be informed of the present situation.

In the past, a doctor or physician's assistant was available for consultation twice weekly at the health center to handle routine medical procedures. Students with illnesses and injuries of a more serious nature were referred to Auburn Clinic. This, in itself, posed a minor problem since many students are without transportation. However, that aspect was tolerable.

This semester I 'sought an appointment with a physician at the school health center. Mrs. Miller informed me that at present the doctors were "too busy" to come to Peru and I would have to travel there. It was also inferred that the doctors busy schedules may indefinitely prevent them from any further Peru consultations with the exception of possible athletic physicals.

The Peru State College catalgoue states that, "The college doctor has regular hours at the Health Center." I would

like to believe this college feels a responsibility toward its students and employees. Therefore, I think some of the following questions are pertinent and valid in evaluating an immediate solution:

1. How many students consulted a doctor at the health center last semester?

2. Of those students, how many were fully treated in the office and spared the expense, loss of time, and worry of transportation to the clinic?

3. How many full-time students living in Peru are there with registered vehicles? (For necessary trips to the clinic?).

4. Will there be a rebate on the $6.00 Health Fee assessment for the greatly reduced care?

5. Will the college readily provide transportation for student's medical visits to Aubumwi th adequate coverage for liability while in transit?

Please consider the serious implications of this matteryo'ur action or inaction may result in a situation that would reflect on the quality and adequacy of Peru State College.

COMPLAINT: I want to make a

complaint about the large .sheet of ice that is on the north side of Morgan Hall, especially right in

front of the steps. You've got to

get up in the street in order to get to the dorm. It's dangerous and there hasn't been anything done to clear it off.

ANSWER: Your complaint was referred to the. maintenance department. They called Mrs. Palmer, the building custodian for Morgan and. asked that she take care of the situation with salt or sand. It was later determined that a drain was needed to keep that area clear of standing water which does turn to ice. Mr. Wendel, the Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds was contacted and said that he would take care of that problem. Until the problem is completely corrected, please be careful and ask Mrs. Palmer to insure that the area is well salted or sanded.

COMPLAINT: A student iri Morgan Hall complained, "I'd like to know why I have to pay the same fees as everyone else to live in a dorm where I cannot study and cannot sleep until after midnight because of the noise.

ANSWER: I asked Linda Uher about mandatory quiet hours in Morgan Hall. Ms. Uher said that they were from 8:00 p.m. until 8:00 a.m. She also said that she does and would continue to insure that these hours are adhered to! Please contact Ms. Uher if you feel the quiet hours are not being observed.

A student in Morgan Hall called and complained, "We need more dances."

I referred this complaint to Ms. Fran Leifheit, the Programs

Coordinator. She says, "There are two dances presently scheduled to be held in the near future. One dance will be held on February 15th: the other March 22nd. One avenue or approach you might use to get more dances is to get involved with the Student Programs Committee, or even get the dorm representatives to give some dances or ·social events.

Joy discussed a present rule that keeps students from participating in an intramural sport if they have partieipatect in the same intercollegiate sport during the year. For instance, an athlete who went out for the varsity basketball team would not be allowed to play intramural basketball.

In reference to this rule, SGA member Rod White proposed that the rule might actually serve to discourage athletes

from trying out for intercolleggetting the support of the iate sports for fear that they students. might be cut and lose their

The committee will also study alternative open-gym proposals that_ would better meet the recreational needs of PSC students.

Also attending the SGA meeting was Linda Sepp. She presented to Harshbarger a letter I see Letters to the Editor) that expressed concern over the possible deterioration of the on-campus health facilities. Harshbarger submitted names of eight SGA members as candidates to serve on two Presidential committees. Of the

four names submitted for each committee, Dr. Pearson would select two to serve. Harshbarger said. The com: mittees and Harshbarger's nominees: Energy Task ForceSteve Lewis, Kevin Timothy, Cindy O'Banion, and Rhonda Crass: Admissions-Anita Cole, Eldonna Hazen, Tom Speight,. and Harshbarger.

Speight presented a report on annual sales. He said that only 125 of the 300 annuals needed to insure publication had been sold.

Seven championships in football and basketball and a succes$fuf track team that still holds most of the records at Peru State College are just a few of the achievements of one man's 18-year PSC coaching career. That man is Jack Mcintire, present mayor of Peru. He first came to Peru from Nebraska City to attend college ·and he graduated with a major in Physical E,ducation. the other state colleges, I feel, in the long run. we accomplish just as much," Mr. Harshbarger replied.

The First Annual Nebraska Art Education Show at the Elder Art Gallery at the Nebraska Wesleyan College in Lincoln is featuring the paintings of two Peru State College teachers. Leland Sherwood, associate professor of art and chairman of the division of performing arts, and Paul Fell, instructor of art, are. two of the 40 people showing their art work during this show from January 17 to February 10. The invitational show is being sponsored by the Nebraska Art

Teachers Association. and it contains paintings of various media.

Fell has one acrylic painting that is entitled Schmidt's Lament.

Sherw.ood has three watercolor paintings that are entitled Monarch with Wild Flowers, Sometimes Streams Form Uncontaminated Lakes, and Landscape with Three pots.

"Although I really did enjoy coaching at Falls City, I was glad to come back to the school I graduated from, to coach." he said. "Coaching at a college level was a real change from high school and I had some difficulty with recruiting but I did enjoy having the ·freedom that 1mostl college coaches have." ·

He resigned from coaching in 1973 when he became dissatisfied w.ith the sports program.

"I j'ust didn't want to watch the sports program at PSC dissipate."

He remembers his time at PSC as being busy. He taught P.E. classes and coached football, basketball, and track. He was also the mayor of Peru for seven years and owned the lumber yard.

During his first seven years as mayor he had many problems to

deal with. At thjs time the city built their sewage plant, put in new street lamps and hardtopped all the roads.

This year .he ran for mayor again and he replaced Rex Allgood.

"I ran for mayor because I didn't like the way our money was being spent and I was dissatisfied with the progress being made," he said. "I believe if you don't agree with the way something is being done, you should do something about it and· that's what I did."

Mcintire said he hasn't had any serious problems since he took over in November and hef feels that the college and the city should work hand-in-hand.

Citizens named to aid gym fund drive

A 14-member citizen's committee representing seven southeast Nebraska communities has been organized to help the Peru State College Achievement Foundation promote construction of a new regional health and physical education center at the college.

Senator Douglas Bereuter of Utica has introduced Legislative Bill 171 which would authorize and fund construction of this facility.

Committee members will support this bill and have volunteered to make contacts in their home communities for the foundation's $500,000 fund drive to help defray part of the cost of the project, according to foundation Director Randy Dun. lap. · ·

The volunteers also will be working with southeast Nebraska state senators Nelson Merz of Falls City and Calvin Carsten of Avoca, both supporters of the project, to inform other state senators of the project's benefits to Peru State College and southeast Nebraska.

"Their first job will be to help get LB 171 through the Appropriation.s Committee, chaired by Jerry Warner of Waverly," Dunlap said. "This first step will require letters and visits by committee members as well as alumni."

Additional volunteers are needed and welcome, Dunlap said. "We would like to expand our list of workers both within the cities already represented and in every other southeast Nebraska community," he said.

Citizen's Committee members are John Sanders, Floyd Pohlman and Ellis Pryor of Auburn; Richard Halbert of Falls City·, Jim Olson, Bill $1,139 raised

Hrockley and Jerry Hall .of Nebraska City; Ted Bahe, Jerry Stemper, Mayor Jack Mcintire and Corrine Adams of Peru· Tom Yopp and Chuck Mizerskl of Plattsmouth; Francis Moul of Syracuse and Floyd Vrtiska of Table Rock.

Area residents who are interested in helping the efforts of the Citizen's Committee are asked to contact one of the members or the Peru Achievement Foundation office in Peru Dunlap said. '

. .LB 171 makes Exon's budget

Governor Exon included a 1.7 million dollar allocation for .the gym proposal in the budget he made public Wednesday.

This is a very favorable sign of things to come. Paul Stubbe, dean of student s.ervices said "If the gym proposal the governor's budget that will be a very good indication of o..i.rr future prospects."

The gym proposal is also in the legislative budget for 3.4 million dollars.

Stubbe, who has been very active in gaining support for the gym proposal, said the struggle was not over yet. He said the help of the students is more important now than ever before.

Stubbe urged PSC students to "Keep writing those letters!" He also suggested talking to parents, grandparents, and friends in the community, encouraging them to write their unicameral senators in support of the bill.

Improving enrollment seen by Hall

by Tom Sundeen

What is the outlook for enrollment of new students at Peru State next year? Outstanding, according to Bradley Hall, Director of Admissions. Mr. Hall and his staff of Ruth Gottula, John Billings and Ardie Chapin have been spending a lot of time on the road visiting high schools and junior colleges in an effort to make that prediction come true.

Competition among the many colleges for students is tremendous and PSC is trying to attract new students by sho\Ving its concern for their needs.·Among the advantages Mr. Hall lists that Peru has over other institutions are its good facilities, an excellent faculty, and an array of academic organizations on campus.

Peru is also located between many of the cultural centers of

this area with Lincoln, Omaha, and even Kansas City within easy driving distance. Another attraction is the abundance of outdoor recreational facilities in this area with the Missouri river ana many parks near by.

One of the hardest tasks facing the admissions department is the need to make sure that people are aware of Peru State's existence. On this and other problems Mr. Hall has found good response from alumni, faculty and student body members.

In order to advertise this college's desire for new students extensive trips have been taken throughout eastern Nebraska and southwestern Iowa, Chicago, Denver, St. Louis, and Kansas City have also been ·sought as potential recruiting areas. The population centers of

Lincoln and Omaha are two main areas of concentration although the largest percentage of Peru students come from within a fifty mile radius.

Another effective way to introduce students to Peru is by having an open house such as the one held Jan. 20 and 21. Plans are set for another open house March 22 and 23. The theme of this event is "Discover Peru State" and it will be set up similar to the senior day.

An important goal of PSC is to try to match the college's expectancies of new students with the expectations the students have of the college, according to Mr. Hall. The resulting harmony between the student body and the administration could provide for continued grow.th and productiv: ity of PSC in tliduture.

L Open Shop

The enquiry on the bottom of this page deals with future financing of the PSC annual. At a recent Student Forum meeting various annual financing proposals were discussed.

One of the proposals called for a mandatory fee, amounting to the cost of an annual, to be levied at registration similar to those for the student center.

The second proposal differed from the first, only in that the annual fee would be optional. However, if a student chose to buy an annual he would pay for the book at the.same time that he pays his tuition, board and. room, fees, etc.

Dr. Douglas Pearson said that an annual is one aspect of the college that can not be tax subsidized. He assured the Student Forum that the college could administer either of the above proposals, though.

The third proposal would be the maintenance of. the present yearbook sales campaign.

This enquiry in no way claims to be wholly accurate. However, it may indicate sentiment for or against any of the proposals and provide a point of departure for future yearbook staffs when they begin to plan their sales campaigns.

An expression of appreciation goes to Dr. Gilbert Wilson and Dr. David Edris, and to the members of the band, stage band, and· clarinet choir ·for their performances Sunday evening

The funny thing about fan support at basketball games is that it can easily regress into a vulgar, bush league When that kind of action represents an entire college, as was the case at Kearney last week, the reflection upon the student body is not pretty, let alone accurate.

Expired contract discussed·

At Student Forum meeting

The second semester curtailment of on-campus calls by medical doctors was discussed at the Student Forum meeting last Wednesday morning. The clinic in Auburn had been contracted to send a doctor to the campus health facility twice each week. That according to Dr. Douglas Pearson, who presided over the meeting, expired as of the end of the first semester.

Pearson said that renegotiation of the contract had begun in the spring of 1976. He indicated that the Auburn Clinic's apparent decision lo not extend the contract into the second semester was based upon staffing problems. Pearson said that the clinic has only three doctors •and is in danger of losing one of those.

Pearson acknowledged possible scheduling problems with the alternative health care plan that went into effect last Thursday. The plan calls for students, screened by the college nurse, to receive free transportation to and from the Auburn clinic twice each week. Under this arrangement students could conceivably miss an afternoon of classes for a 15 minute appointment. He indicated that the present, commuter arrangement is not a permanent solution but he said that it is the only alternative at this time.

The President said, "We've (administration) just started to talk with Nebraska City and Tecumseh clincis about the possibility of contracting with them an arrangement similar to the one in effect last semester. We haven't gotten to the point of actual details," he added.

Last Wednesday's Student Forum meeting was the first for 12 new members. They are: Eldonna Hazen, Jean Sachs, Joni Sherwood, Thomas Michaels, Dale Eichenberger, Ed Harris, Deb Whitney, Jeanie Michal, Julie Hartman, Bob Hruby, Mark Shively and Kip Hurley. These 12 students

Also discussed at the meeting was the student center game room. Dissatisfaction among students over the repair of the machines in the game room was voiced.

Dr. Pearson said that also dissatisfied with the service of the vending company that supplies the machines in the game room. He.said, however, that the company, Vend-0Matic, was the only one that ·could be attracted to the He also said that the three year contract with Vend-0-Matic had two years remaining on it.

Several students expressed a desire to see the college expand its curriculum so that more degrees could be offered.

Related discussion concerned the possible addition of some agri-business courses. Dr. Pearson said that this area had been considered before. He said that an agri-business program could be appx:oached from. two directions; by implementmg an entire two or four year degree program, or by bringing UNL graduate students ahd professors down to the Peru campus for weekly night classes.

But where's the snow?!?

Recreation department. copes with winter

Generally, there are two approaches to a winter in Nebraska. The first approach is kind of like having wisdom teeth pulled; there is nothing a person can do but endure it. The second, and considerably more positive approach to winter is to make the best of the ice and snow that come with it.

Many PSC students have done just that these past months, according to Bill Fitzgerald, the student director of recreation and intramurals. He indicated that the use of ·winter recreation equipment has been overwhelming during the winter.

Winter weather-like Nebraska's-that is often presumed

to be worthless to everyone but Eskimos and tow truck operators, has been welcomed by many PSC students and faculty. These people, through the recreation department and their own initiative, have found that snow, ice and cold do not necessarily translate into frozen radiators, smashed fenders, or

pneumonia. These same people have apparently found out that a small expenditure of time and patience may even allow them to enjoy winter.

Fitzgerald, a junior recreation major, and his father, Dr. Tom Fitzgerald, the director of recreation and intramurals, organize .and administer the college's recreation program. From the recreation department students are able to check out cross country skis, inner tubes for "tubing," a tobaggan, or snowshoes, as well as conventional, fair weather recreation equipment.

Fitzgerald said that the skis have received the most use this winter. The department has six pair of skis and, at times, with snow on the ground, all six have been checked out as many as five days in advance, he said.

An additional six pair of skis is one of the priorities in the budget for next year, Fitzgerald said. He added that the new skis would be of a variety of sizes so

them.

Fitzgerald is one of six students employed out of the recreation department's budget, or through work study, to aid intramural and recreation programs. Jack Moles, RickyCooper, Tom Casey, Randy Walters and Mark Johnson also work for the department, primarily as referees for intramural basketball games.

These students also manage the open gym period on weekends, another responsibility of the recreation department.

According to Fitzgerald, the open gym times are from 1: 30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. oh Saturcjay and from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday. The swimming pool is open from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on both days. Fitzgerald indicated that good sized turnouts make the open gym periods worthwhile.

The Fitzgeralds also organize the intramural program. Bill said that the basketball season would continue through April 5. Although no intramural events are planned to follow the basketball season, Fitzgerald said the department would be open to suggestions from students about other competitions. A softball league and a tennis tournament are two events that have been considered, he added.

'Funny thing' takes place in PSC auditorium

"A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum," a rollicking musical-comedy that has entertained people in playhouses, theatres, and living rooms for over 14 years, will debut at the college auditorium tonight at 7:30.

The original version of the musical opened on Broadway in

May of 1962. Since that time it has been made into a movie starring two of the stage actors, Jack Gilford and Zero Mostel, as well as Phil Silvers.

"Forum's" plot revolves around the exploits of Pseudolus, a Roman slave, who attempts to win his freedom from his adolescent. master Hero. Pseu-

dolus plays the matchmaker as he arranges for Hero to meet a Cretian virgin newly imported to the neighboring brothel. However, the complications .begin to arise when Pseudolus must vie for the girl against the great warrior, Miles G1oriosus.

Auburn school cuts to keep taxes level?

by Gene Browning

Recent school board decisions, made at a meeting on Feb. s, put into affect several major cuts in the Auburn school. system, including Peru. Total savings from the reductions, which will possibly hold land taxes at c:urrent standings, were estimated at $27,250.

'!'he cost reduction affecting Peru was: Discontinuing the activity bus to Per_u without user support.

Also, the proposal to reduce staff in the elementary K-5 by one could possibly affect Peru as the clause "This might be accomplished by having two sections of third grade at Calvert and S)1eridan," was dropped, making cuts possible at any of the Auburn school system elementary schools including the Peru elementary.

the Auburn school system m general were:

Reduce staff at the senior high by 1 2 to 1 person, probably in the business department. · Charge a fee for out of town activity bus transportation for those students attending .as spectators.

Change from a trained librarian at Calvert to a clerk under supervision.of Mrs. Nixon, similar to the procedure at middle school and Sheridan.

Discontinue the extended contracts in shop and library.

Go to less than full time clerk in the guidance office at the senior high school.

The proposal to reduce staff by two people at the middle school and senior high by sharing an art teacher and a home economics teacher was eliminated by a tie vote.

Aproposal for the alteration fo the 7th grade athletic program was delayed.

Members of the Kearney State College student body may be flying high this semester, according to the "Antelope," the KSC newspaper. KSC students can now join the Sport Parachute club.

Along with an experienced "jumpmaster" and the Kearney Parachute club, the college group plans to jump each Sunday for the rest of the year.

The club provides jumpers with parachutes and helmets,

and also a qualified "jumpmaster" who checks the member's chutes and tells them when to jump.

Before ever getting off the ground, however, the club learned the basics of jumping during a ground school !st semester.

The Student Senate at KSC recently voted to allocate nearly $5,000 to bring nationally known columnist Art Buchwald to the campus.

Set building is large task

Stage veterans in play

Five PSC students involved in the production of "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" have combined experience in over 25 college productions.

Don Doxon, a senior from Holtville, Calif., is performing for the fourth time on the Peru stage. In the lead role of Ps,eudo)us, Doxon said, he is playing his hardest part ever.

Doxon, a physical science major, has also helped with technical aspects of other college productions. As well as helping with set construction, a traditional expectation of all' actors, he has done lighting work. He served as the t,echnical director for last semester's "DragonWatch." ·

Kevin Hart, from Stanton, Ia., is also playing his fourth part since coming to PSC. Hart, who had the lead in the homecoming play, "Mousetrap," said the music in "Forum," .makes it more difficult than a strictly dramatic work. The junior speech and drama major has two solos in the musical.

Essex, Ia., speech and drama major was in charge of keeping rehearsals going when Dr. Drake Bingham was giving individual instructions. She also organizes the actor's props for the performances.

Tom Whitney, from Pawnee City, has a great deal of PSC stage experience. In addition to credits in five regular term productions, Whitney also per" formed with ilie college summer stock theatre at Buffalo City last summer.

Like Hart, Whitney has found that music makes "Forum," particularly difficult.

Whitney's favorite role was that of Sir Vigilant, a comic part in Dr. Roval Eckert's "DragonWatch." In "Forum," the sophomore speech and drama major plays the part of Marcus Lycus, the neighborhood buyer and seller of beautiful women, and a colorful charac· ter, also.

Rob McKercher,

When the curtain opens on "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" tonight, the audience's immediate impression of the set will go a long way toward determining whether the musical is believable; and consequently successful. For this play', as with many past PSC productions, the responsibility for creating the necessary scenic illusion falls upon a student.

a sophomore majoring in speech and drama, and math, has designed and overseen the construction of the set for the popular musical-comedy.

The musical, as the name might 'suggest, takes place on a street in Rome. According to McKercher, the period is sometime before the birth of Christ. These circumstances make the design of the set particularly difficult, McKercher said, because so much research is needed to determine the architectural style.

The set calls for three houses along a street. Each house has at least part of a roof showing. The center house has a· balcony to complicate the construction.

The Peru native said that Dr. Drake Bingham, the director of the production, approached him in December about designing the set.

After pouring over the script to determine the tentative arrangement of windows, doors and walls, McKercher researched Roman architecture of the period. Books on the archeological diggings of Pompei were the most valuable research tools, McKercher said.

After settling upon a basic style, McKercher returned to the setting .desc.ribed in the script.

"The design is left up to the designer's imagination," McKercher said. However, the designer's imagination has to be tempered by .the materials the department owns, he added.

With the architectural style and setting in mind, McKercher began a process of sketching, scrapping, and correcting ideas until the image on the paper satisfied him. After completing a rough draft, McKercher said he presented it to Bingham for suggestions.

One suggestion the director had, McKercher said, was the addition of a fountain in the center of the stage. McKercher quipped that the fountain is the first on-stage running water in PSC theatrical history.

With Bingham's approval, McKercher began a final draft. "The final draft was one of the most difficult segments of the whole project. I was constantly facing the frustration of prelim· inary plans that would not work because of sight-line problems, lack of materials, or any number of other things," McKercher said.

The actual construction of the set. began near the end of January, McKercher said. Conflicts with other activities in the auditorium prevented the builders from setting up any permanent.flats until last week. McKercher indicated that prior to the band concert on Fehr. 13, all of the construction was done in sections that could be taken down and stored off-stage.

Mc Kercher, who modestly claims to be entirely unmechanical, said that he received technical assistance from Don Doxon and Steve Dunn. He added that many students helped'with other facets of the construction, from pounding nails to painting.

One section of the roof on the center house is supported by two columns, designed to give a · Dorian effect, McKercher said. He indicated that part of the action takes place upon that part of the roof. He admitted concern initially, over whether the eight foot elevation would be sturdy enough to hold up an actor. "After we completed it we had four people jumping around on the roof, and it held. I think it's sturdy enough," McKercher said, grinning.

Another aspect of the set that McKercher expressed pride in is the design of the roofs. The roof material resembles the red tile used in Mediterranean architecture. He said the tiles are simulated by halves of cardboard tubes. The tubes are about six inches in diameter, and were originally used as packing tubes for computer printout paper.

Bone I Room 202 Education Bldg.

Hart has also done technical work in past productions. He conceived the basic set design for "Midsummer Night's Dream," last year.

Sophomore Kim Tudor is serving as the student director for "Forum." Although she is not performing in this musical she has performing experience from three past productions.

As the student director, the

Rob McKercher is performing in his sixth PSC production. In the part of Hysterium, McKercher, as might be expected from the name, plays a comic character. Although he admits that the music makes "Forum" difficult, he said that his most demanding part was that of Oberon, in "Midsummer Night's Dream," last year McKercher is a sophomore speech and drama, and math major from Peru.

Beethoven performed at PSC

The music of Beethoven as it was heard in the time of Beethoven will be performed Tuesday, March I. at Peru State College by Dr. Drake of the University of Illinois at Urbana.

Dr. Drake will bring his restored Nineteenth Century Broadwood piano to Peru State College for a one-day and public performance at 7 p.m. in the college's Fine Arts Auditorium.

Information on the workshop may be obtained by contacting 1Mrs. Mary Ruth Wilson Director of Continuing Educa'. tion at Peru State College. Admission for the evening public performance will be one dollar.

"In late December of 1817,

Broadwood and Sons of London shipped a six octave grand piano to be presented to Beethoven," Mrs. Wilson said. "English pianos were relatively unknown at that time in Vienna and the .Broadwood presented to Beethoven was probably the most advanced instrument of its day. .The Broadwood to be used in this workshop was restored ,.by the late John Challis. Like the instrument presented to Beethoven, this. piano has light stringing, smaller hammers, a shorter compass than that of present-day instruments, and the English single-escapement action. It also offers the possibility of a true una corda throughout much of the compass."

Dr. Drake has studied music at the Eastman School of Music and the University of Illinois. He was a Fulbright Scholar to the Vienna Akademie. He has performed at the state universities of Indiana, Michigan,; New , York, North Carolina Texas Oklahoma and as well as Oberlin and the Eastman School of Music. His spring performance schedule, following Peru State College includes recitals in New Orleans the l\'Iusic Teachers National Association national convention in Atlanta and the University of North Carolina. His performance in Peru was arranged by Miss Pamela Gere a former student of Dr. who now is Instructor of Music at Peru State College.

The Bobkittens will travel to Midland for the AIAWSmall College Basketball Tournament this weekend. They will meet Doane College at 12:00 p.m. Thursday.

Sharp shooting and hustling defense in the second half lifted the Peru State Bobkittens to a 67-60 victory over Nebraska Wesleyan at Lincoln Feb. 14.

The one season scoring record for PSC women's .basketball was broken recently by Becky Graham. Becky, a junior, has scored 231 points in 19 games this year. That mark surpasses the previous record set last year when Patti Collins scored 208 points.

Becky is in her first year at PSC after attending college at Clarinda, Ia. for two years.

Becky Graham with 18 points, Mary Cotton with 14 points, and Julie Hartman and Nancy Parker with ten points each, led the balanced PSC scoring attack that hit upon 47 per cent of its shots in the game. Graham and Parker led the team in rebounding with eight and seven, respectively.

The women from Lincoln took a 40-36 advantage in at halftim as they connected on 50 per cen of their shots. However, th Bobkittens tightened up thei defense and tuned up their offense in the second half to offset the halftime deficit.

Two PSC business students will be vying for state offices at the Phi Beta Lambda state convention to be held at Midland College in Fremont on Thursday, Mar. 31 and Friday, Apr. 1. Gerald Reichart is running for the post of vice-president and Joe Eacret is running for the financial vice-president position. In addition to Reichart and Eacret, 19 other members of the PSC Phi Beta Lambda fraternity will make the trip to the convention.

According to Phi Beta Lambda president Ted Harshbarger, the convention consists of various contests among the schools as well as the elections of officers for the coming year.

Other members attending the convention are: Dave Stemper, Bill Martin, Ted Harshbarger, Kevin Sauberzweig, Wayne Young, James Holtgrewe, Ed Harris, Rhonda Ahl, Karlene Badgett, Coleen Burger.

Janet Vance, Loma Pohlman, LouAnn Haneline, Charlene Ashcraft, Teresa Hahn, Jean Hartman, Linda Sepp and Jodi Robinson. Phi Beta Lambda sponsors Russell Beldin and Danny Ke.nn.ett will also make the trip.

Beethoven performed

Dr. Kenneth Drake, from the University of Illinois at Urbana, recently played several of Beethoven's Sonatas in an evening performance on March 1.

Dr. Drake, who is a specialist on Beethoven, appropriately used a Broadwood piano similar

to one presented to Beethoven for his performance.

After playing selected Beethoven pieces, Dr. Drake answered questions from the audience, and afterward, allowed those people who were interested to examine his Broadwood piano.

Remmington on board

by Teri Kester

Peru State College's student representative to the Board of Trustees is Jean Remmington. Jean described her position as "a source of student interest information for highly successful, but unaware of student interest, board members." She said that the Student Representatives are not allowed voting privileges, but are otherwise treated as board members. The board of trustees sets up the college policies but leaves it up to the individual college administrators to carry out the policy. The board handles the business end and trys to stay out of the administrative part of the colleges.

Members of the Board of Trustees meet the last Thursday and Friday of each month and have received all pertinent printed information prior to the meeting by mail. Right now the Board of Trustees is working on a concrete and comprehensive evaluation for college administration and faculty. Also salary and budget negotiations are

coming up. Another problem facing the board right now is the recent requests from the colleges for additional fuel funding.

Phi Beta Lambda

Thirty members of the PSC Phi Beta Lambda business fraternity will travel to Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minn. this spring to visit a number of businesses in the twin cities. The students will leave on '\Wednesday, Apr. 13, and return on Saturday, Apr. 16. During that time, they will visit the Olympia brewing company, a federatreserve bank, Grain Belt brewing company, Guthrie theatre and some area insurance companies, according to fraternity president, Ted Harshbarger.

The trip is being subsidized by the receipts from the annual Phi Beta Lambda auction held earlier this semester.

The semester is half over and undoubtedly every student and faculty member is looking forward to Spring Break.

The first half of this term has been an exciting one in many respects. Competitive basketball teams, fine productions, outstanding visiting musical clinkians, spring trip plans and, of course, last but far from least, the campaign for a new gym, have all contributed to a revitalized student body.

The second half of the semester promises to be equally exciting as action, crucial to this college, will be taken in the legislature. It has been said that. it is dangerous to place life or death emphasis upon the passage of the gym bill. It is true that the college would more tha_n likely continue without the

bill's passage, but if it does pass, PSC not only receives an excellent, long awaited facility, 9ut it also receives a very tangibte show of good faith from the lawmakers of this state. -

That show of good faith will hopefully come this spring.

·Students wi 11 be involved in many other activities this spring; a dance marathon, organizational trips, spring athletics, student teaching and band tours, among other things, that will provide the college with windows into surrounding communities. Those same activities will give. those communities an accurate view of PSC, also. In I ight of the overwhelming support the college has re.ceived this spring, let us hope that that view is favorable.

A tribute to St. Patrick

1>n<' wPek fron1 tomorrow is St. i'atriek's dav and in memory of that. one ot' our most colorful holidiiys. we would like to pay tribute to the Irish through \'Xl'('rpts from "The Irish (;l;nius·." an essay by Woody .-\lien.

Viscous and Sf,ns had announl'('d publication of "The Annotated Poems of Sean ()'Shawn." the great Irish poet. considered b1· manv to be the most 111romprehensible and hence the finest poet of his time. .-\hounding in highly personal r·('ferPnces. an understanding of ()'Shawn's work requires an 1111:mate knowledge of his life. 11·hich. according to scholars. not l'l'('ll he had. f-'<)llowing is a sample from his fine hook.

Let us sail. Sail with Fogarty's chin to Alexandria.

While the Beamish Brothers Hurry giggling to the tower, Proud of their gums

Let us sail-O'Shawn was fond of sailing. although he had never done it on the sea. As a boy lw dreamed of becoming a ship's captain but gave it up when sc;;,eone explained to him what sharks were. His older brother James. however. did go off and join the British Navy, though he was dishonorably discharged for selling coleslaw to a bosun.

Fogarty's chin-Undoubtedly a to George Fogarty, who convinced O'Shawn to become a poet and assured him he would still be invited to parties.

Fogarty was a fun-loving.

rubicund Irishman whose idea of a good time was to lie down in the public square and imitate a tweezers. Eventually he suffered a nervous breakdown and was arrested for eating a pair of pants on Good Friday

Alexandria-References to the Middle East appear throughout ()'Shawn's work. and his poem that begins "To Bethlehem with suds " deal caustically with the hotel business seen through the eyes of a mummy.

The Beamish Brothers-Liam Beamish·--went to Jesuit school with O'Shawn but was thrown out for dressing like a beaver.

Quincy Beamish was the more introver.ted of the two and kept a furniture pad on his head till he was forty-one.

The tower-When O'Shawn moved out of his parent's home. he lived in a tower just south of Dublin. It was a very low tower. standing about six feet, or two inches shorter than O'Shawn.

Proud of their gums-The Beamish Brothers had unusually fine gums. Liam Beamish could remove his false teeth and eat peanut brittle, which he did every day for sixteen years until someone told him there was no such profession.

Immigrant publishes hook

'Ir. Hath. familiar to many studPnts. dif'd Sunday.

PSC Professor Emeritus and former associate professor, George Rath. has published a historical account of Dakota immigrants who came to America. from colonies within Russia.

In "The Black Sea Germans in the Dakotas." Rath traces tne history of German immigration to Russia and later to the America where they settied in the Dakotas.

According to Rath, · the Germans were invited to Russia by Catherine the Great and her successors to develop and populate the areas around the Black Sea. Rath was born in the province of Odessa in 1891. In 1912, he

began studying theology at the University of Dorpat, in Estonia. After serving in the Russian army from 1916 to 1918, Rath completed his theological studies at the University of Tuebingen, Wuerttemberg, Germany.

Rath emigrated to the United States in 1922 and took up ministerial duties with the Evangelical Synod of North America. He served congregations in Loveland and Denver, Colorado: Worland, Wyoming; and Jansen, Nebraska. While at Denver, he obtained his Bachelor's degree at the University there and while at Jansen, he obtained his Master's degree at the University of Nebraska.

In 1946, he became an Associate Professor of Modern Languages at ·psc. He taught here until his retirement in 1961.

Two complaints were received concerning the area parking lights not working at the Complex. These complaints were referred to Mr. George Wendel and that problem should

be resolved shorily. Sometimes the timers on those lights periodically malfunction and need resetting. Thank you for keeping us informed so that we can keep you informed.

Improve study habits

by AAP Student Service

"Depend on it, sir, when a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully."

Samuel Johnson might well have been talking to students about pre-examination time and that gnawing feeling of foreboding! 'Examinations can concentrate one's mind wonderfully, but in a positive, practical manner that will not only ·increase your learning potential but help your performance.

The key to both success in exams and enjoyment of college work lies in the ability to use time wisely. A pattern of good study habits begins as the term begins. b.ut nowhere do you need them more than at examination time. You will be able to handle exams with a minimum of stress if you observe these six ·suggested steps:

Money crunch abbreviates season

bv Tom Thomas

The state budget crunch is showing its effects as the Peru State College baseball team prepares for a 16-game season. Head Baseball Coach Tom Fitzgerald reports that in the last few years, Peru has been playing a 22-24 game season. Reduced funding is the cause of the shortened list of games. If

there isn't enough money for the team to travel, their games are cut short. For example, Wayne State College, which operates on a well-endowed baseball budget, is currently planning on a 52-game season.

The team is also smaller than it was last year due to the fact that there were no athletic scholarships available for pros-

pective players. This is also a direct result of shortened program funds. At this time, there are approximately 20 people trying out for the team. Among the members of this years team who will be returning to the field are Dale Patton and Stan Wissel. Both players lettered two years ago, but were not out last year.

1976-77 PSC BASKETBALL TEAMS

1976-77 'kittens in record boo

The 1976-77 PSC Bobkitten basketball team established five individual records and seven team records during the course of the season.

Graham also made 134 field goals during the season to break a record of 68 jointly held by Roxan Dalton and Julie Hartman. She also pulled down 245 rebounds to break Collins' 1975-76 mark of 208. Graham's total of 355 field goal attempts is

also a record. Julie Hartman can be consid ered partly responsible fo Graham's, and the overal team's. improved scoring, she tossed out a record assists.

The team scored 1227 point this year compared to the previous high of 958, set last year. Other team records set this year include: field goals 525, surpasses last year's mark of 394: free throws-175; improves upon 170 last year; free throw attempts-363, compared to previous high of 330 i 1975-76; assists-130, surpassing old record of 47; and team field goal percentage-34 per cent.

Two IM teams undefeated

The 4-0 Jazz and the 4-0 Townies faced off in a match of league leaders last Thursday evening that, incidently, was one of the finest games of the intramural season.

The Jazz opened up a small advantage, 20-18, at halftime, and rode the scoring of Steve Medinger to a 42-38 victory. Medinger scored 15 points as his team kept pace with the undefeated Cavaliers. Stacy Applegate, Pat Tynon and Dave Lammie each scored 10 points to lead the Townies.

With Thursday's game, Medinger moved into sole possession of third place in the league scoring race with 69 points. He trails Benny Valentine, with 82, and Stan Taylor, with 72. In two games last week Applegate scored 24 points moving him into fourth place with a five game total of 65.

The usually high scoring Cavaliers met the defensively stingy Bobcats last Tuesday night but came away with their fifth win, 32-24. Prior to meeting the Bobcats, the Cavaliers had been averaging a league leading 51 points per game.

Rod Carter and Stan Taylor led the Cavaliers with eight points apiece. Mark Clark led the Bobcats with 11. With two men in the top ten in scoring, Uppa U. made a charge into the top five of the league with two victories last week.

Marathon raises $9,500

The ·Circle-K Muscular DyDance Marathon failed to meet the organizer's goal of .· raising $10,000, but, accordine: to accounting Chairman Te4 shbarger, a very satisfying total of $9,491.10 was raise_d.

The 30 hour marathon began Friday afternoon at 6:00 p.m. with 28 couples. Thirty hours later, 28 couples remained on the dance floor. Harshbarger indic?ted that a number of

substitutions were made at the last minute, or in one case, during the marathon, for persoris who had become ill, or were otherwise unable to attend.·

When the tabulations of the amount of money raised by individual couples was completed l(lte Saturday evening two couples had. exceeded $1,000. Kent Knoll, Nebraska City, and Renee Wessels, Weeping Water had pledges and donations totaling $1,677.27 for first place.

Scammahorn found guilty

Jack Scammahorn, PSC wrestling coach, was found guilty.of a misdemeanor assault charge last Tuesday by Nemah(I county judge Albert Maust. The charge and the court's finding stemmed from a Febr. 6. practice incident in which Scammahorn assaulted wrestler Mark Yori.

Testimony during the trial

Runnersup Nancy Kennedy and Ken Fike, both of Peru, raised $1,067 .85. In addition to the second place trophy, Kennedy and Fike were awarded the congeniality trophy by the other dancers.

Two couples were extremely close for third place, Harshbarger said. Deb Krauch and Rick Spears, both of Peru, raised $921.57 to edge out Walt Eheler, Auburn and Marty Heng. Nebraska City. Eheler and Heng raised $821.09.

Enthusiasm ran high at the 1977 Dance Marathon for Muscular Dystrophy. None of the couples entered dropped out,.and nearly $9,500 was raised by Peru Staters. (Photo b;: Gene Browning)

Prospects at open house

Alarge number of high school seniors attended the PSC admissions department open house last Tuesday and Wednesday.

According to college admissions director Bradley Hall, some 65 to 70 seniors and a number of parents turned out for the function. Hall termed it a "fantastic response" as the department had expected only about 30 visitors.

Earlier in the spring a simlar program, "Senior Days," attracted 165 prospective students. However, unlike "Senior Days," which drew heavily from out of state, the r.ecent open house was attended primarily by Nebraskans, Hall said.

The seniors registered Tuesday evening and then attended a program at the college auditorium. Featured on the program

Ceramics by Christie

established that Scammahorn picked Yori up, carried him a few feet, and threw him to the mat following a verbal dispute between the two. When Yori tried to rise, witnesses said Scammahorn pushed him back down and straddled him.

Scammahorn's lawyer, Richard Hoch, Nebraska City, maintained that the incident was an act of discipline by. the coach.

Judge Maust disagreed how-· ever, saying "The young man clearly needed discipline," but added that "an angry 200-pound man who violently throws a 126-pound young man to the floor exceeds the scope of discipline and enters the zone of unlawfulness."

Hoch stated that an appeal to the county court's ruling will be filed in District Court.

Also receiving special comemdnation by Harshbarger was· the couple of D'on Hardekopf and Sharon Dietrich of Plattsmouth. They totaled $529.64 in pledges and donations.

On Friday night the PSC Drama club presented their interpretation of the Gong Show. With Tom Whitney emceeing and Dr. Edris, Dr. Eckert and John Barrett judging, a number of the "raunchier" acts were gonged.

Winning the "Gong" award and a $25 donation to the Muscular Dystrophy cause was Gene Browning. He danced his marionnette duck to Burl Ives singing "Little White Duck."

was Art Chapin, an Auburn magician; the college stage band and swing choir and a theatre group. The seniors were invited to a dance at Neal Hall later in the evening. After spending the night in Majors Hall, the students were encouraged to discuss diffeent aspects of the college and college life with PSC personnel at an informal reception Wednesday morning. The guests also toured the campus and attended classes.

Hall said that campus visits are essential to a good admissions program. He stre.s· sed that his department tries to be honest with prospective students, and concluded that the best way for high school seniors to insure that they are not misled about a school and community is to visit them.

OUSe S OOtS Way Onto tar

The PSC basketball team's leading scorer, Dan Shouse, received another honor recently when he was named to the Omaha World-Herald statecollege team. Shouse, who was earlier named to the District 11 state. college team, joins Wayne Robinson, Wayne, Paul Bergman, Hastings: Loren Killion, Kearney, and Earl Westbrook, Concordia, on the first team.

According to the World-Herald, the selection of Shouse and Westbrook marked the first time in four years that the honor team has not been dominated by the state's "big four"-Wayne, Kearney, Hastings and Doane.

According ·to art instructor Paul Fell, all of the pottery shown by Christie was made this year. Fell said that Peru does not offer a ceramics degree but added that students are allowed to use that medium in their senior art shows.

Fell said that much of the work done by Christie was independent study oriented as only one class, purely devoted to ceramics, is offered at the college. Fell indicated that the Ohio native had received instruction at Ohio State University over the summer.

Christie, who will graduate µiis spring, has applied for an assistanceship in the Ohio State graduate

UNO health aid

Beginning Wednesday, March 30 (todayl, the University of Nebraska at Omaha medical school · will provide health services to Peru State students on a weekly basis, according to Paul Stubbe, Dean of Student Services.

The program will open at 7:00 p.m. in the College Health Center. Anyone wanting to take ·ady!!ptage of this free service is asked to contact school nurse Mrs. Virginia Miller in advance if possible.

According to drama club member, Rob McKercher, the club raised $81. He was uncertain of the number of people in the audience but he indicated that it was over 300 because admission was 25 cents. In all, over $1,000 was raised by donations during ·the marathon.

Harshbarger indicated that a number of staff members put in about as much time at the marathon as the dancers. Jonelle Kotouc, chairman: Brad Johnson, vice-chairman: Jan Johnson, Steve Sims, Ann Billings, Julia Sharpe, Dale Hoepker, Deb Long, Al Collins, Sheila LaMountain, Teresa Gebers, Becky Niday, Vicki Vollersten, Terry Burkhalter, Sherry- Taylor and Dennis Solo were all cited by Harshbarger.as having worked most of the marathon either in ·accounting or in booths on the dance floor.

One of the finest things that may· come from the gym proposal , hearing March 7, is th!! general awakening of many people throughout the state to what this college has to '<ltfer and to what kind of students attend PSC.

This kind of recognition, though less tangible than a new gym, for · instance, is surely as important.

An editorial in the Daily Nebraskan, the University of Nebraska at Lincoln campus p9per, related Peru's ambitious support of their proposal to that for UN O's proposed physical education building.

The editorial:

The Nebraska Legislature's Appropriations Committee heard testimony Monday on the need for a new health and physical education center at Peru State College before testimony was heard for a similar building at the University of Nebraska 'at Omaha.

About 200 supporters of Peru State College p,acked the legislative chambers to illustrate the college's concern for such a center.

After Peru administrators, students, athletes and members of the community gave their case to

the committee, they the room.• A handful of NU supporters remained in the room to tell the committee of the university's dire _need for the Health, Physical Education and Recreation

(HPER) Bldg. at UNO.

The figures speak for themselves. Nearly 200 persons·can turn out to illustrate the need for a physical education complex at Peru, but a handful of persons show up for the HPER Bldg. hearing.

· Perhaps apathy is not as widespread as we kid ourselves to think-at least not in Peru.

Granted, the need for a HPER Bldg. is not as close to the hearts of UNL students as it is to UNO students. However, it is the top priority item on the NU capital construction budget. This means that the university is saying · it needs this building more than any other construction project.

Students packed the hearing rooms· when the alcohol and marijuana bills came up in committee. Students should be concerned about the mill ions of do IIars spent on their university with a similar fervor.

If it cannot qe with a similar fervor, it should at least be treated with the same proportion of concern Peru supporters feel for their · colleqe.

IM STARS TO BE HONORED

The Peru State intramural staff announced yesterday that they will select an All-Star basketball team at the end of the season. The selections will include both a first and second team and also an honorable mention list.

LHeadlines.

by Kent Propst

Springtime finally arrived March 20, and so comes some of the annual peculiarities identified with that season. Call it what you likespring fever has struck again.

Springtime seems to bring out things people are normally able to subdue the rest of the year. Everything from the chirping of birds to the roaring of motorbikes, not heard since the fall, tends to powerfully affect people.

Springtime also has a tendency to "bring people together." So today, this column is donated to that breed of people who 'have not only survived, but thrived, ever since the automobile first pulled off the path under the moonlite-the parkers.

Parking (remember, mom and dad?), has come a long way "since those Model A's and cowpaths. Some today have likened it to a science, but one thing's for sure-it is no longer an easy business.

First, the night itself must be proper. Hlgh winds or stuffy, sweltering nights just won't do. And the moon is essential for the proper atmosphere. Of course, rain really puts the damper on things (though getting stuck would be a good reason to "park," if one wants to force the issue).

Also and rather obviously, the proper partner must be selected.

Calendar of Events

,-

However, competition being what it is, no tips will be given here (you're on your own, buster).

If you've gotten this far, you will soon have to decide just where the proper place is for your car to break down (overheated batteries, jammed spark plug coils, and cracked muffler bearings have replaced the traditional and · unoriginal "out of gas," since modern womankind has a better knowledge of auto's than ever before).

One more problem now remains, but, as many can probably attest to out of personal experience, it's a biggie. Within the American society there is a certain deviant group of neanderthals, of questionable moral character, who's chief delight is to sweep down upon unsuspecting and innocent (?) parkers and proceed to "disrupt" their amorous activities. Bloody embarrassin', I'm told.

Unfortunately, there is very little that can be done about these "bushwackers," as they are called in a more sympathetic moment. Simply, choose your spot carefully, lock doors, and if feasible, carry a doberman.

Or, if you want to outsmart the entire group, wait till the next thunderstorm (with no moon and strong winds), take your auto and park it somewhere along Highway 67. Nobody would ever find you.

52 prepare for fall grid battles

An indication of next fall's football successes may be seeh on Saturday, Apr. 23, when the PSC footbalJers conclude their spring practice session with the annual varsity-alumni game.

The spring practices began last Thursday as 52 men checked out. According to PSC Coach Jerry Joy, the teani is limited by NAIA regulations to 20 practices. He said they would only. have about 15 or 16 workouts.

Joy indicated that all players were in good shape after completing a winter weight lifting and running program several weeks ago. He added '·1-iat the emphasis of the spring •k:'-On would be on timing and

the introduction of new things into the offense and defense. The returnees from last fall will be joined by six transfer students this spring. Linebacker Jon Orton, a transfer from Colorado State; fullback Willie · Johnson, a transfer from Friends University; defensive backs Mike Sutherland, a transfer from the University of Florida, and Kirk Ochs, a transfer from Northeast Missouri State University; running back Marin McGill, a transfer from the University of Louisville; and tackle Mike Larson, an Iowa State transfer, will all bolster the team this spring, Joy said.

to allow individuals with competitive ability a chance to perform in some open meets. He stated that insufficient facilities and a short-six-week season places Peru at a severe disadvantage to colleges with indoor facilities that allow runners to work all winter.

Pitts said that the two teams would compete together in five meets this spring. He added that the women would also compete at Kearney on April 26, for the women's state college track championship.

The other meets scheduled are the Red Grovert Relays at Fairbury on April 1, the Northwest Missouri State University Il\vitational at Maryville, Mo. on April 9, the Hastings Relays on April 16, the Wayne State College Invitational on April 21 and the Doane Relays at Crete on May 7. No dual meets are scheduled.

A large crowd attended the PSC P-Club boxing smoker-fund raiser on March 10, and enjoyed 13 fist-flying bouts.

Winning by TKO's were Troy Goleman, over Harold Benson; Harry Sweet over Tom Russel; Dennis Solo over Bob Peterson; and Keith Williams over Charles Fox.

Rick Ramsey won a unanimous decision over Mark Johnson; Tom Casey received a split decision victory over Jay Moran; Dave Lammie won a unanimous decision over Dave Adams; Ken Denning won a split decision over Rick Vollertsen; Dan Todd took a split decision over Fred Reed; John Whisler won over Mike Dorn by a unanimous decision; Bill Bruhn defeated Steve Buss on a split decision; James Urbina won, a split decision over Joe Cluley; and Steve Speas won a unanimous decision over Dan Rayhel.

Torpedoes with 10.

Last Thursday the Machine met another league leader, the Townies, and dropped a close decision 40-37. Applegate led the balanced Townies with 14 points to offset Steve Speas' 16 and Gradoville's 10.

For the season Gradoville has totaled 86 points; good for fifth in the league scoring race. His teammate, Fletcher, is tied with JeffJacob for eighth with 70 points. With Applegate and Pat Tynon each hitting for 18 points, the Townies defeated the Shady Oak Bombers, 56-38, on March '10. Leading the SOB's was Bernard Geschke's 10 points. Putting together a late season push for a possible shot at the championship is the SWAT Squad. In addition to the upset of the Cavaliers, the Squad also recorded recent wins over the two Universities; Wattsomotta and Uppa.

Winless this season, Wattsomotta played possibly their finest game in bowing to the SWAT Squad 42-40. Dave Simmons led the balanced U. attack with 12 points. Bob Hruby, with 20 points, and Alan Cowles, with 10, led the Squad.

Against Uppa U. lastThursday Cowles led the Squad to a 43-34 victory with 12 points. Benny Valentine led Uppa with 13. The Squad has a slim chance of winning the championship but with only two games left they will need some help from other teams in knocking off th.e league leaders.

The Bobcats improved their record to 3-4 with wins over Wattsomotta U., 46-30 on March 8, and the SOB's, 40-24, last Tuesday. The Cats dropped a 53-39 decision to Uppa U. on March 10.

Leading the Bobcats in each of their wins was Steve Buss. He had 18 points in each game.

Against Uppa U., Valentine and Tony Barton scored 22 and 15 points, respectively, to overcome 24 points by Marty Harms and Paul McCune. Valentine, the league scoring leader, has 117 points in eight games; an average of almost 15 per contest.

low e"rollment, high costs blamed

Teaching openings decline

by Diane Uher

If you come to college to become a teacher, maybe you better reconsider. According to the April 26 issue of the U.S. News and World Report, teaching job openings are rapidly declining.

Every year more and more teachers are being laid off. Phil Smith, of the National School Board Association said that the major reason for this is the rising .cost of financing schools.

"It is very unfortunate that two or three problems that affect finances-declining enrollments, high costs, and fewer tax dollars-are hitting schools at the same time," he said. Illinois is an example of this. Recently the state school budget was cut by 145 million dollars. This, with the declining enrollments, has sent many schools into a panic.

Neil Curtis, executive secretary of the Iowa State Education Associations, can explain why declining enrollment scares schools.

"If a school gets $1, 100 in aid from the state per pupil, that $1,100 goes out the door with each kid that leaves. But $1,100 in expenses don't leave with him."

Another proplem is that state school budgets have been cut so drastically because of the many complaints from taxpayers about high taxes. Everyone wants good schools but unfortunately school budgets are usually the first to be reduced.

Albert Austin, superintendent of Auburn high school, said that this area has experienced some of these problems, too. , "This last year our school budget was cut," he said. "Also when hiring the last two years, we've had an abundance of applications for the available jobs."

Meanwhile the teachers are feeling the brunt of the school financing problem. Not only are

Boeche exhibits

Currently being displayed in Diddel Court of the fine arts buiiding is the senior art exhibit of Ray Boeche. Boeche, a senior from Nebraska City, is presenting the exhibit in partial fulfillment of graduation requirements.

Boeche indicated that the exhibit is an accurate represen-. tative of the wide variety of work that he has done since coming to Peru. He said that the exhibit contains ceramics, sculpture, paintings and drawings created in the last four years.

At Peru Boeche has been a student of Dr. Leland Sherwood "ar.d Paul Fell.

An education major, Boeche said that he plans to apply for a teaching job upon graduation this spring. He added hr" ' 0 r, that he hopes to continue "lS art education and earn his nw ,r's within

they being laid off by the tens of thousands but also they are having problems being hired by other employers.

Bernard R. Gifford, deputy chancellor for New York City's public schools said, "Many employers don't want to touch laid-off teachers, for there's a feeling they will leave the job just as soon as they can secure another teaching position. Teacher skills also are not readily transferable to the corporate world."

In spite of all this bad news there is one ray of hope for teachers. The layoff and financial squeeze hasn't hit everywhere, yet. The areas no_t affected are:

southern California school dis" tricts, Arkansas, Lousiana Texas, Georgia, South Carolina: and many rural areas.

Albert Austin thinks that teachers have a future.

"I think unemployment works in cycles," he said. "Ten years ago we had fewer teachers, now we have too many. I think people will see the job opportunities and go into other fields and in ten years we will have fewer teachers again."

But according to the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare these conditions for teachers are expected to continue and they expect a rapid decline of teachers in the years to come.

Mime to perform here

Everyone should go crazy once in a while. Overdoses of the straight life can be detrimental to health and happiness. Look what happened in the sixties. People had , been bottling up their craziness for so long that it exploded! Then the ·whole country went crazy. There ' was a whole generation of crazies.

Spring Week was probably invented by some farsighted Peruvian who wanted to spare PSC that awful fate. Timed perfectly, Spring Week gives students a chance to get a 11 the insanity out of their systems and time to get back to normal before semester tests.

It would be a shame for anyone to let this chance go by, but I remember some students last year who did just that. All through

Spring Week they did the same dull things they did every other week. A few even had the audacity to ridicule Spring Week celebrators. I haven't seen those students around this year. Perhaps their repressed craziness overcame them while they were driving a car or taking· sem.ester tests. Perhaps they eventually became so dull and. colorless they had to be exiled to the land of. Grey Goomies. Who knows? Who cares?

The moral of the story (I knew you were waiting for this) is: Happy Spring Week.·

Placement seminar

Northwest Missouri State University, Maryville, has scheduled their apnual Teacher Pia.cement Day for Monday, April 25, at 9: 30 a.m. in the JW Jones Student Union Ballroom. Last year nearly 80 school districts from a four-state area were present to talk with those candidates seeking teaching positions. Alumni, reciprocity candidates, and seniors from other colleges and un iversities are invited to be. present. Each participant will be provided a listing of the openings reported by the school districts represented.

· After being at PSC for almost a year I was under the impression that the college was on a definite upswing in popularity and respect. This was clearly brought out by our success in a variety of sports and after our recognition statewide over our new gym. The way that the students are getting behind the college and are helping bring about new and, better ways to PSC shows that there are some definite changes occurring now and there are probably more to come. Yet in some areas, certain people seem to think that tfie backward and out of date ways are best. The area I'm talking of is cheerleading.

I've talked to plenty of students on campus that have stated that they never even realized that there were cheerJeading tryouts. Many thought that a group of girls decided that they wanted to be cheerleaders, got uniforms and that was it. There has been alot of talk around campus about the quality of our cheerleaders. A cheerleader is probably one of themost influential representatives that a school or college can have. When one is asked to describe a cheerleader the majority of those asked would answer: 1) good looking; 2) good. figure and 3) good talent. Well since I've been here our cheerleaders have had the first two, but for the last, well I've seen them try, but let's face it girls, the talent is worth about 2 cents.

This year tryouts are being held around the first week in April and there are more girls trying out now than there have been in the past few years. Yet candidates seem to be dropping likeflys, and I can see why. Talk about something so unorganized that is so detrimental to the college. People are discouraged instead of incouraged about the way they cheer. And from what I've seen nobody should be critizing else.

"The difference between high school cheering and college cheering is that high school is still and college is smooth." I've heard that phrase about all I want to. The fact that they are discouraging girls, and are dropping out of tryouts because they have changed with the times is ridiculous. The smooth sloppy way of cheering is just an excuse for not cheering the stiff, precise, snappy, right way.

If high school cheering- is so wrong then why are most of the Big Eight colleges, including UNL, cheering this way? I wish that people could understand that things are changing at PSC and that our cheerleaders could change and be a respected organization, instead of a joke. Just because things have been a certain way for 30 years doesn't mean that things can't change. And from what I've seen, any chance has got to be for the better.

. Art contest

The Mortar Board Honor Society at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln is sponsoring their second annual art contest April 11-16. Any Nebraska resident is eligible to enter. Entries should be two dimensional and potray the theme "Women in art." The winning entry will be hung on permanent display at the new UN-L East Campus Student Union.

On April 14, more than 500 boy-girl student teams are expected to compete in the National Twister Team Competition, on the Ft. Lauderdale, Florida beach.

Students from 2,000 colleges and universities around the nation have been invited to enter this event and challenge for the $1,000 grand prize to be awarded to the winner. An additional bonus prize and consolation prizes will also be awarded.

The national competition was inspired by the popular party game "Twister" in which players twist their bodies into all manners of positions to outmanuever opponents. The game is played on a sheet of colored dots with a referee calling the colors that indicate to the players their next move.

Any disqualifying movement by either team player will eliminate the team. The winning team from each game will continue to advance through the competition.

The event will take place on the beach at the Howard Johnson's Motor Lodge just north of the Ft. Lauderdale "strip."

IM field reduced to two

Six games were played in the intramural basketball league last week reducing the field of championship hopefuls to two; the Cavaliers and the Jazz. The Cavalier's completed their season with a 40-29 victory over the

Townies last week. The Jazz were to have played the Shady Oak Bombers last night.

Due to the IM tie-breaking system, the Jazz would have had to have won last night's game by at -least 51 points to claim the ' championship. A victory over the SOB's would have left them in an 8-1 season record tie with the Cavaliers. After nine games the Cavaliers have a 149-point margin over their opponents. Through eight games, the Jazz's margin is 99.

In their win over the Townies, the Cavaliers personally disposed of one title ljopeful. Mike Hamilton led the Cavs with 17 points. Stacy Applegate had 12 for the Townies as they dropped their second game of the season.

The Torpedoes won their first game of the season last Tuesday defeating Wattsomotta U. 41-37, and came back on Thursday to drop Uppa U. 41-39. Mark Lucas scored 15 points in the first game and 13 in the second to pace the Torpedoes. Benny Valentine scored 13 J:lOints for Uppa U. and' · finished 130 for the year.

In other games last Tuesday, the SOB's received a 2-0 forfeit win over the Mean Machine and the SWAT Squad defeated the Bobcats 37-28_. Ken Denning led the Squad with 13 points. Paul McCune scored 10 for the losers.

The. Jazz defeated Wattsomotta U. 60-32 on Thursday evening. Steve Medinger led the Jazz in scoring with 22 points. Medinger now has 119 for the season and, with last night's game, can overtake Valentine for the league scoring ti tie. Also with a shQt at the scoring title is Applegate. The Townie had 109 points going into !<1st night's game with the SWAT Squad. In fourth pla.ce, behind Applegate is Stan Taylor iavith 1'03 points.

Entries will be displayed April 11-16 at the East Campus Student Union. The contest winner will receive a $300 grand .•prize and three $25 merit awards will be given.

The stage bands from. those three schools were rated superior to the other entries by guest clinician Reggie Schive, the director of stage bands at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.

The three bands each performed their contest selections at an evening concert.

The deadline for the Pedagogian photo contest has been moved. to next Monday, Apr. 11, to accommodate more entries. All photographs must be submitted to Everett Browning or a member of the Pedagogian editorial staff bv noon on this day.

Winning photos in each of the three categories-landscape and nature, sports and human interest and news-will be published in the Spring Week edition of the Ped. Cash awards will also be given.

Grading resumed recently on the highway 67 road project south of Peru. According to Department of Roads project manager, Charles Scott, Tecumseh, the department is anticipating a fall completion date.

Construction of all bridges and the grading will be completed in the middle of July, Scott said. He added that the asphalt surfacing would begin shortly after the grading and bridge work was completed.

Although final plans have not been fayed for highway 67 west of Peru, Scott indicated that construction on that portion of the highway would most likely · begin with the completion of Gr·· south. The southern highway is the proposed detour for the seven mile stretch west of Peru.

Electra opens tonite

by Diane Uher Electra, a Greek tragedy written by Sophocles, will be presented by the Peru players tonight through Saturday night at 8:00 p.m. in the college auditorium.

Electra will be different than any other play presented this season and will require much more thought from the audience, director Dr. Royal Eckert said.

"Many people on this campus have never seen a Greek tragedy and don't know what to expect or how to react," he added.

"The Greeks wrote plays with many long speeches and little action. This made the audience listen to the speeches to figure out the plot," Eckert said. "On the other hand, the plays we are acustomed to usually contain fewer lines and more action. All we have to do is watch the plot unfold through the action."

Eckert said that he chose the play because the students had never done one of this type before and because he felt that they needed the opportunity to portray roles they have never performed.

"For example, Kevil! Hart is playing an old man. and Tom Whitney is playing a very serious character," he said.

"They have never played roles like that before and it will be something new and challenging

for them."

Eckert said that the play also poses some special problems for the actors.

"With the long speeches I though memorization and interpretation would cause many problems but so far the actors have handled this very well," he said. "Also the actors must portray much emotion. Many times they h?ve to go from the pits of despair to the heights of happiness."

The set will also be different from any other constructed this season. There will be no curtain and much of the action will take place very close to the audience.

The set will be a courtyard and will contain many old props, ·including a statue of Athena from the old auditorium.

Kevin Hart designed the set and the costumes were made by the scene and costume design class.

Eckert said that at the end of the hour-and,a-half performance the schedule for the next season will be announced.

The cast of electra includes Debby and Tom Whitney, .Rhonda Crass, Roma Dunn, Stephanie Goodell, Jean Sachs, Angie Stalder, Kim Tudor. Tom Ballue, Danny Ehmke, Kevin Hart, Rob McKercher, Glenn Stanton, and assistant director Becki Young.

adequate time to, move power and telephone poles and fE!fices. Scott indicated that surfacing of 67 west would follow extensive roadbed leveling work. He said that the concrete surfaced highway would resemble, with regard to contour, highway 136 east of Auburn where fills and cuts of up to 100 feet were made.

"The faculty at Peru State College is very interested in and supportive of LB 171, the Legislature's proposal for a new gymnasium and health complex," Dr. Russell said.

"At the last meeting of the Faculty Association, considerable discussion was held concerning ways the faculty could support the facility proposal," he said.

"It was the consensus of the group that the faculty should actively participate in supporting the health complex," he

,,..- I

Last Saturday the PSC baseball ' team was scheduled to play a double-header with Kearney as "study of extremes" that ted a three column article by Steve Pivovar in a recent World-Herald sports section.

In the article, Pivovar contrasted Coach Tom Fitzgerald's frugal budget and superficial 16-game schedule to the bigtime program of the Anfelopes that recently·· saw them play three major college powers while on a trip to Hawaii.

Now, if a romantic was fictionalizing this episode the bottom-of-the-ninth conclusion would have the Bobcats, apparently losing despite having played a courageous game, pull .it out 7-6 on a dramatic bloop single to left.

But, as it turned out the game was called off and any giant killing had to be put off for some future time.

Baseball at Peru, at least recently, has had at best, medicore success. Yet the zealous optimism and financial support shown by many levels of the college this year for some of the other "destitute" sports has tailed off embarrasingly during baseball season. In fact, according to Pivovar's article, the team that would have faced Kearney Saturday was skeletal at best. With only 16 players in the

program and only three pitchers, finishing a double-header could become paramount to winning.

But, as Pivovar reports, Fitzgerald is "realistic in his outlook":

'"We d.on't have the pitching, which is evident when Northwest (Minn.) gets 15J hits off os in two games, and we seem to be a step away from getting the balls hit up the middle. But, I was proud of the way we played The kids played well. They did the fundamental things very well."'

''Fitzgerald, according to the W-H article, has no financial aid to offer players and operates on one-third of the budget that he had last year. In addition, a sparse schedule and competition for players with spring football makes recruiting even more difficult.

Yet, through this adversity the players and their coach seem to have kept a good perspective upon their lot. And maybe, all things considered, there is a giant-killing theme to this story after all. For, as Fitzgerald ind_icated to Pivovar, the baseball team has realized, and drawn encouragement from, the fact that they have a chance•to be the only_ men's athletic team on campus this year with a winning record-an accomplishment that, under the circumstances, would be something of which to be proud.

by Kent Propst

What's that you say? Feeling tired, I istless, and generally out-of-touch? Well, take heart, folks, there is a cure-get plenty of sack time, drink lots (?) of liquids, and take in a full slate of Spring Week activities.

The major activities, of course, are to be capped Sunday evening at 6:00 p.m. with another Belle of float trip down the Missouri River. This· is the first year a spring ride is planned (along with the standard fall cruise), and a good time (meaning, have fun but mind y9ur manners) may facilitate an annual event. The well-known blues band ''.Homecookin"' will provide the live entertainment.

Saturday may well be the highlight of Spring Week, however, The annual Spring Alumni football game, which this year promises to be the _most competitive in quite some time, begins at 2: 30 in the Oak Bowl. Anyone wishing to watch the has-beens battle the

could-be's is invited to attend the free showing.

Saturday evening will feature a 7:00 p.m. Neal Hall concert with the immensely popular John Emery his Missouri Valley Boys. It will be the first Nebraska performance this year for Emery.

.The Greek tragedy "Electra" will run four consecutive nights tonight (Wednesday) through Saturday. An excellent cast promises to give a fine perforwith curtain time 8:00 p.m. in the.College Auditorium.

Neal Dining Hall behind the Complex will also be the scene of a Thursday night concert by rockers "So What?" The dance begins· at 10:00 p.m; A free SCB movie, "The Stepford Wives," is planned for 7:30 in the Fine Arts Auditorium.

If you follow these directions, and are still feeling tired and listless next Monday morning, it will probably be due to too much activity. Another week at Peru sho.uld cure that.

What does an intern for Nebraska's four State College System do, anyway? Well, if you are fortunate enough to be selected by the Board of Trustees, you will probably send out mailings, attend hearings on legislative bills, perform minor secretarial duties, assist the executive officer in the performance of his duties, and even work on an individual topic of your choosing which will be of aid - to the system. Al I of these opportunities and more await you. Make the most of your college career-consider the possibilities and contact Dr. Clyde Barrett, Administration Building No. 310 to submit an application for an interview at the Central Board Office.

Spring Week Activities set

The annual Spring Week at Peru State College promises to be an even livelier.event than ever before, thanks to the Belle of Brownville and John Emery.,

The Belle, a riverboat on the Missouri, has been the sight of a co11ege get-together early in the autumn each school year recently. Last fall the Belle was packed, and that tour is still regarded as one of the best times many students have had at school here.

Due to this popularity, a Sunday night cruise down the scenic Missouri has been set. Advance tickets were still available early this week, but the voyage is expected to sell· out at $2.00 per ticket.

Emery, one of the area's favorite performers, brings his guitar picking talent (and his group, the Missouri Valley Boys) to Neal Dining Hall for a Saturday evening performance. Emery also performed during Spring Week last year. The 7:00 p.m. show will open Emery's spring Nebraska tour. <

Running Wednesday night through Sa_turday will be the spring drama production, "Electra,"direded by Dr. Royal Eckert. The Greek tragedy, starring Debbie Whitney, Kevin Hart, Tom Whitneyand Rhonda Crass, begins at 8:00 in the College Auditorium.

As in the past, the annual Varsity-Alumni football game will be Saturday afternoon. Jerry Joy's 1977 hopefuls will battle former Bobcat mentor Jack Mclntire's threatening grads at 2:00 in the Qak Bowl. Admission is free.

Thursday night the band, "So What?" will play from 10: 00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. at Neal Dining Hall. Friday night's free Student Center Board movie will be "The Stepford Wives."

Already this week, saxophonist fim Timmins gave a Monday concert in the Fine Arts building; a carnival and picnic were scheduled for Tuesday afternoon from 3: 00 p.m. to 6 p.m. on campus; and the band "Skydancer" gave a Tuesday night show in the gym. · ,

Student teaching--

Beginning of a career

by Teri Kester

The professional semester at the end of your teacher education career is often a frightening time for many of the apprenticing teachers. '!'hey .dread it because it is their only :ehance to prove themselves and what they have learned.

The first thing a learning teacher must do is fill out a form at the end of their sophomore year saying they intend to become a teacher. Sometime between the start of their junior year and their professional semester they have to fill out a short biography form and complete listing of the classes in their major and the hours for each class.

Some students prefer to take the professional semester at the end of their senior year. Other students plan to take the professional semester as their

first semester of their senior year. This lets them find the areas that they are deficient in and it gives them an extra semester to take the needed classes before they go contract hunting.

The reactions to professional semester are varied. Many student teachers expressed happiness at being out and at beiilg able Jo get into "the real world." Linda Uher, an English major student teaching at Auburn saig, '.'I love student teaching because I love kids.

Sometimes it depresses me because I have to get everything cleared by the head. person before I can put my ideas about teaching to work." Most stu'dent teachers said that it is their roughest semester workwise.

"Once you get behind in your work, it is impossible to catch up," said Pegg Witty, an elementary education major. $

Sally Hanna/ord running Duffy's

Mrs. Hannaford. known best as the bakery lady of Ken's !GA, · is managing the business at

present. She hopes to purchase the tavern following approval of her applications for licenses by the proper authorities. She hopes to add a grill to this food-starved town in the future, but noted that she must go through the proper channels before such an addition can be made.

A public hearing concerning Mrs. Hannaford's application for an on-sale beer and off-sale liquor license will be held in City Hall tomorrow <Thursday). Even if that is granted, she must be okayed by the State Liquor Commission before she can operate the inn.

Graduate Record Exams altered

(From the Educational Testing Service, Princeton, N.J. College seniors planning to take the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) Aptitude TEst next fall will see some changes in the exam. A new section designed to measure analytical skills will be added to the traditional areas that test verbal and quantitative skills.

The change, the first since the current form of the Aptitude Test was introduced in the 1940's. is based on an extensive research effort initiated by the Graduate Record Examinations Board that showed that analytical skills can be distinguished from verbal and quantitative skills and are related to academic success.

Students, faculty members, and administrators from all over the country were consulted in the various planning stages of the change in the exam.

Educational TEsting Service lETSJ, which administers the exam for the GRE Board, explains that the additional measure will enable students to demonstrate a wider array of· academic talents when they apply for admission to graduate schools.

Janis Somerville, GRE program director at ETS, said, "The; new measure will test ai student's skills in a number of areas. Students will be able to show their ability fo recognize I logical relationships, draw conclusions from a complex series · of statements, and determine relationships between independent or interdependent categories of groups."

She explained that, like the traditional measures of the ·GRE, the new test will use various kinds of questions.

"Three types will be used in the analyti<::al section: analysis of explanations, logical diagrams, and analytical reasoning questions, each designed to test a different aspect of analytical ability," she said.

Sommerville also explained · that no formal training in logic or methods of analysis· is required to do well on the new measure.

"St>me analytical skills are required and developed in · virtually all fields of study," she explained. "And, like verbal and quantitative skills, analytical skills are developed over a long period of time and are not believed to be improved to any significant .degree by intensive study in a brief period of time."

Somerville also noted that the 1977-78 GRE Bulletin of INfor-

mation will describe the new measure and will include sample questions and expla)lations of the answers. The Bulletin is sent free to all students registering for the GRD. In addition, a Sample Aptitude Test containing the same number and types of questions as the actual exam can be ordered at one dollar per copy. Both publications will be available on Aug. 1. Despite the new addition, the GRE will remain a three-hour test since the verbal and quantitative protions have been shortened and the time saved

allocated to the new measure.

"The same research effort, that produced the new measure also yielded shorter versions of the verbal and quantitative sections that are comparable in reliability and usefulness to the earlier and longer sections " explained Somerville. '

The GRE is taken each year by about 300,000 college students · as part of the admissions process to graduate school. The exam is offered six times a year, while advanced tests in 20 subjects are offered five times·a year throughout the nation.

According to outgoing SGA president Ted Harshbarger, last week's election saw the largest voting •. , turnout at PSC in recent years. A total of 238 students registered to vote, a figure that represents 33 per cent of the student body, which, incidently, according to Harshbarger, was a greater voting percentage than on any college campus across the state. In the presidential-vice-presidential race, Lewis and Young received 130 votes.to 92 for their opponents Rod White, Omaha, and Ralph Blevins, Geneva. Harshbarger said that several write-in candidates received votes but he added that their totals were not significant enough to make a change in the outcome of the major race.

Write-in votes for senators-at-. large were received by Russ Mort, Jeff Scanlon, Dana Dea, Neil Sorenson, John Epler, Tyrone Troy, Jim Johnson, Ken Johnson and Desi Kline. Hall senators elected for next year were: Sheilla LaMountain, Morgan; Tyrone Troy, Delzell; Fredricka Minton, ClayburnMatthews; and Dan Kane, Davidson-Palmer. In the Morgan Hall race LaMountain received 41 votes to 11 for Tammy Chaney. Faye Woods received write-in support. Troy edged Mark Muliins, 16 votes to 11 in the Delzell Hall election. Steve Speas received

write-in nomirn!tions. Minton, an SGA member, maintained a seat in the campus legislative body by defeating Jerry Grint 15 to 12. Kane narrowly claimed the senate birth from Davidson-Palmer with a 16 to 15 victory over Steve Dunn. Bill Snyder collected six tl-P votes.

According to Harshbarger, the newly-elected senate would convene initially on April 28, at 5:30 p.m. "A new constitution and student government structure will be in effect and should provide for a new and intersting change for the students at PSC," Harshbarger said.

Summer theatre planned

The Buffalo City stock theatre and a creative;-Oramatics class head Dr. Royal Eckert's drama plans for this summer.

As in past summers, PSC drama students will perform, for college credit, melodramas at the hotel in Buffalo City-the pseudo-western town south of Nebraska City. This summer, according to Eckert, a larger group will work with the shows than have in the past. He said that about eight or 10 students have indicated that they will work on the Buffalo City productions during the two sessions.

Eckert said that the group would probably make up their

own plays and, before the end of the summer, alternate between the plays at different performances much like a repertory company. The melodramas are presented once each Saturday and twice on Sundays during the term. Eckert said the actual starting times depend upon the size of the audience. -

In the creative dramatics class, according to Eckert, college students work with local children on children's theatre projects. He indicated that the · class might attempt to produce a play with the children which could be performed in surrounding communities.

fManpower Inc. claims I ! ummer job prospects bright

Manpower, Inc., the world's argest temporary help firm, xpects to have jobs for more than 25,000 students with office work skills throughout the country this summer, a substantial increase over last summer, ccording to Mitchell S.1 Fromtein, President of Manpower. "Every year students add an mportant dimension to our orkforce. This year they'll play n ever bigger role because of e optimistic job forecast anpower has received from usinessmen," Fromstein said. A recent survey of 5,000 usinessmen nationally conducted by Manpower indicates business hiring is on the upswing with a growth projected for this spring and summer in the rvice and retail trade areas. When students go looking for bs, they swell a part-time U.S.

often have typing rates as high as a highly qualified typist.

The person who's a skilled typist or office machine operator can usually find a job with Manpower. There are also some opportunities that don't require as much skill, such as inventory takers; maintenance workers, etc.

Fromstein said that many students take advantage of Manpower's Work Travel program. Under this program, a student who establishes a good work performance record in one city can transfer to another Manpower office in another city. orkforce that already includes ome 16,000,000 people. Ironially, students may not get a job ecause they overlook their ompetitive edge. Many of them ave a marketable office skill nd don't know it.

"Manpower offices are amazed at the number of students ho come in, fill out their applications, and don't even mention that they can type, take

orthand or operate a business machine. These are good skills which we need," Fromstein said.

One of the reasons that students may overlook these skills is that they have their sights set on a more distant goal-a case of not being able to see the forest for the trees. romstein said that students ho type term papers for themselves and their friends

Reasons for entering Manpower's temporary workforce are varied. Many are women who re-enter the workforce after their children are grown. Teachers and students work for Manpower because jt offers them variety and they can work whenever their schedules permit. Other individuals work for Manpower because it offers a supplemental income.

Besides typists, secretaries, material handlers and some technicians, Manpower offers positions as systems analysts and keypunch operators. Students can find· jobs as survey takers, interviewers, sample distributors, or they may help out at conventions, or work on assembly lines.

Fro ms tein said that office work opportunities vary from city to city but that most of Manpower's 400 offices in the U.S. can use most people with skills and some experience. He said all Manpower offices are equipped to test applicants and tell them quickly if their skills are promising for summer work.

Former student gives talk

Aformer PSC student who was recently elected president of tl)e national Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (ACCEJ returned to Peru and addressed the local Kiwanis club last week.

Richard Good, the manager of the Grand Island Chamber of Commerce, graduated from the Peru prep school in 1945. He attended PSC for a year-and-ahalf before transfering to Iowa State to pursue an agricultural degree. He is the son of lifetime Peru resident Everett Good.

The election of Good to the presidency of the ACCE is articularly significant in that the three previous presidents ere chamber managers in Houston, and As

PSC physical education instructor Jack Scammahorn filed a $10,000suit in district courtlast week against President Douglas Pearson and athletic director Jerry Joy. The suit stems from an allegation by Scammahorn that he had been improperly suspended from coaching duties.

The suit contends that the wrestling coach was suspended by Joy on Feb. 17 "without notice, specific charges, or an opportunity for a hearing" and that by the state college bylaws "only the president of a college

The final show scheduled for next year is the George Bernard· Shaw classic comedy "Arms and the Man." In this piece Shaw masterfully satirizes the notion that war is heroic or noble and that love is ideal.

Employment ·opportunities still available

from p. 2 President Pearson and a group of people from all over the state and southwest Iowa meet to discuss job openings in this area.

The Job Service is a r placement organization that finds jobs for people of any age all over Nebraska.

This is the first year Student Services has worked this widespread to place students in jobs said Dr. Myron Apilado, Dean for Student Development.

"Every day many listings with job openings come into this office." he said. "I think it is our

duty to make the students aware ot them."

The procedure the office has used to get this done is to first advertise in the papers and then to have the students fill out resumes for the jobs they want. After this is done the office checks to see whiclj of the programs the studtmt qualifies for. Next comes the waiting.

"We can't guarantee all the students jobs but we can give them a better chance than they •. would have on their own," said Williams.

Captain Meriwther Lewis, Dredge, Finds Final Home in Brownville

Nearby Brownville, a community steeped in the history of Nebraska, has become the permanent home of what once was the largest structure on the Missouri River-the dredge Capt. Meriw.ether Lewis.

The'boat, which is 90 yards long and weighs over 21/2 pounds, was instrumental in channeling the once wide-and-shallow Missouri into a navigable channel.

Built in 1932 for the Army Corps of Engineers, the Meriwether Lewis saw duty heavily until 1964. The huge sidewheeler was last used in 1969, and has been docked and doomed for the scrap piles in Gasconade, Missouri, over 450 miles downriver from Brownville.

Members of the State Historical Society accompanied the tug Twyla Marge, which pushed the Lewis from Gasconade. Cap--· taining the tug·was Bud Kieler of Peru. Several dignitaries joined the excursion aboard the Belle of Brownville Indian Cave State Park during the docking·ceremonies April 18.

These men included State Senator Nelson Merz, Peru State President Dr. Douglas Pearson, Brownville Historical Society President Tom Palmerton and State Treasurer Frank Marsh.

Now, the once-proud ship, which took 64 engines to and was capable of digging into mud 20 feet, is to be drydocked in the Brownville State Recreation Area and remodeled into the Missouri River History Museum. It is hoped that the museum may attract some 1,500,000 tourists per year, with the target completion date set for 1979. ··

The curator will be Raymond Holland of Auburn, who worked on the Meriwether Lewis while it was operating and who had been livjng in retirement until contacted by the State Historical Society. Holland was at one time skipper of the 67-crew vessel.

Charles Neerman, one of the employees of Job Service, said the main type of work available in this area for the. summer is seasonal work, such as detasseling and a few clerical openings.

"It's still early," he said, "and I'm sure more openings for the summer will be turned in."
