Academic changes made

Several changes in academic divisions and promotions for PSC faculty have been announced by College President Llj.rry Tangeman. One major change, Tangeman said, will place accounting, business education, business administration and the associate of arts programs under a new business division. Jack Hamilton will serve as

acting chairperson of "the largest division ·serving the most students at PSC," Tangeman said.

Humanities and the performing arts have been merged into a single division of humanities, with Dr. Leland Sherwood to serve as chairperson. Tangeman said the expanded division will administrate 10 programs:

Doctor now on campus

Peru's newest medical service brings a doctor and a physician's assistant (P.A.) to the PSC campus twice weekly for appointments, according to College Nurse Virginia Miller.

Dr. Gary Ensz and Mark Steil, P.A., are on-campus at the health center on Monday, 1:30-5 p.m., and Thursday, 9 a.m.-noon Mrs. Miller said. Some common prescriptions will also be available for patients at the clinic, she said.

The Peru clinic is part of a new family health service in Auburn staffed by Ensz and Steil. In addition to providing a second clinic for Auburn, the project is intended to provide better medical. services for Peru area residents.

Mrs: Miller said appointments should be made thorugh the Auburn clinic, telephone 2744993, rather than at the health center.

Rita Ervin new to PSC

Rita Ervin has replaced Rosanne Hiveley as PSC Assistant Director of Admissions, according to President Larry Tangeman.

Before coming to Peru, Ms. Ervin worked for the Omaha World,Herald, Tangeman said. She received her bachelor's · degree from the Oklahoma

College of Liberal Arts at Chickasha, Ok.

Tangeman said Ms. Ervin's primary responsibilities will include contacting prospective college students in area high schools, student counseling, and working with Dr. Richard Muth, 11dmJssions director,

A graduate of Hunter College and Northwestern University Law School, Teplitz has studied shiatsu and meditation at the Temple of Kriya Yoga, where he holds the title Master Teacher of Hatha Yoga.

One of the main areas covered by Teplitz was shiatsu Oiterally translated "finger· pressure"), the Japanese answer to accupuncture. When applied in the proper areas, Teplitz said, it can bring instant relief from headaches and hangovers, relax tension and energize when one is exhausted. Applying pressure and releasing it "causes blood to flow through the affected area. Blood acts as a cleanser, bringing antibodies and oxygen into the area and taking away impurities which have built up, such as carbon dioxide," Teplitz said. "It also stimulates nerve meridians, as in accupuncture, motivating the body to heal itself."

The shiatsu technique for relieving headache pain was demonstrated on an audience volunteer. Following this, mem-

bers of the audience practiced the technique on one another, resulting in three headache "cures."

Tep Ii tz also discussed and demonstrated kinesiology. He explained: "Everything around us and also within us is affecting us and our energies all the time." Body strength was shown to diminish or increase under circumstances involving negative and positive thinking and stimulation of the body's meridians. The audience was encouraged to repeat the demonstration in order to prove to themselves, as Teplitz said, "that this is no fake 1"

An exercise in Hang-saw meditation ended the program. This simple method of meditation was explained by Teplitz: the audience, with the auditorium lights dimmed, then "went within themselves" for 10 minutes.

Descriptions of the meditation experience ranged from one student who said, "It was like I was the only person in the world," to another who said, "l noticed after a while that I wasn't breathing anymore. I said to myself, 'Well, time to breath."

The program was arranged by the division of continuing education

speech, social work, English, journalism, mass communications, history, social science, art, music and drama.

Dr. Esther Divney .has been named acting chairperson of the education division; which includes elementary, secondary, special and early childhood education, Tangeman said. Other faculty promotions include: Dr. Ervin Pitts, chairperson, physical education; Richard Gulizia, associate professor, psychology; Dr. Tom Fitzgerald, associate professor, physical education.

Hunt injured in auto accident

Pat Hunt, a 27-year,old PSC student from Grand Island, was seriously injured Thursday, Sept. 6, in· an incident involving an automobile, according to John Walsh, Delzell hall director.

The incident occurred at approximately 4 p.m., Walsh said. Hunt, a residence assistant in Delzell, was taken to the Nemaha County Hospital, Au· burn, by the Peru rescue unit, and then on to St. Joseph's Hospital, Omaha. Hunt's tion at press-time remained critical. ·

Letter to ,the editor

The recent signing of UCLA women's basketball standout Ann Myers to a contract with the Indiana Pacers of the National Basketball Association brought a lot of publicity to professional basketball.

Myers, a four-year women's All-American, became the first woman to be given a try out in the NBA. However, unlike most rookies who are given a try out in the "big leagues," Myers received ·a reported $50,000 bonus and a guaranteed position in the Pacers organization-not to mention a lot of headlines.

Some people hailed it as a great step forward for women's athletics and a milestone in the women's movement. Many agree, however, that it is the biggest mistake since Title IX.

The Pacers insist they are serious about the 5'9 Myers and tell us it is not a publicity stunt. They tell us they think she has

the potential to play NBA ball.

While that may be true for several other collegiate womenbasketball players, it's not for Myers, I'm sorry to say.

The situation must rankle a lot of players throughout America. Our own Dan Shouse is a perfect example. Dan, like thousands of ' other college ballplayers, wQrked for years with the dream of one day getting a chance to play in the NBA. He averaged over 25 points per :game at Peru State against some good small-college competition.

After graduating with numerous accolades, Shouse found it impossible to even get the chance he had dreamed of for so many years. The general excuse in his case was that he was too short-even though he is a great leaper, outjumping players nearly a foot taller than his 5'10 frame.

Even Dan's home-state Pacers

Welcome Students and Faculty!

failed to show any interest in him. But they decided they had a spare $50,000 and a guaranteed opening in their organization for Myers, regardless of the outcome of her try out.

Such a "deal" is not in the best interests of women's athletics. Myers is not getting treated "fairly," she is being given preferential treatment, and that can only discredit women's athletics in the long I would like to say; "Best of luck to the brave Ms. Myers." But it is not brave to walk into a · guaranteed job, and it doesn't make her look like a pioneer in the women's movement. Worst of all, should Myers fail to make the team, it could make it hard for other deserving women athletes to get a chance. It's hard enough for a man in a once all-male sport-'-just ask Dan Shouse.

$35,000 rai.sed for Majors

Approximately $35,000 was raised this summer in cash and pledges for the Majors Hall Fund Drive, according to PSC President Larry Tangeman. The ·goal set for the drive is $300,000.

The three-year fund raising campaign was started last spring to raise money for the renovation of Majors Hall, Tangeman said. Portions of the hall will be remodeled or rebuilt to prepare Majors for use with the new sports complex, he said.

Faculty offices, locker room and shower facilities for men will be located on the first floor of Majors, and the second floor will house the women's lockers, showers and offices. The top floor will be converted into a health center containing a nurses' station, examining rooms and various medical

offices, Tangeman said.

"The fund raising constitutes the greatest positives of PSC upon which we can build and enhance all the pro's in physical education," Tangeman said. Groups and individuals who have contributed to the fund so

far include proceeds from the Bobcat benefit band concert, a gift from the 50th wedding anniversary .celebration of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Ritchie, Auburn, and the first annual PSC golf tournament held at Tecumseh this summer.

'79 theme selected

"Good Things Last Forever" has been selected as the 1979 PSC Homecoming Theme. The theme was selected during the Sept. 6 meeting of the Student Senate.

According to Student Senate President Joe Primm, individual senate members contacted students fo_r homecoming theme suggestions. Student suggestions

included "Reunited," "Stairway to Heaven,'' ''Bobcat Fever, Catch it," "Tie a Yellow Ribbon," and "We Are the Champions," as well as the winning entry. The voting was tied between "Good Things Last Forever" and "Reunited'' until Primm cast the deciding vote.

New direcwrs, staff announced

New residence hall staff. members at PSC have. been announced by Dave Eaton, director of residence life.

Hall director$named by Eaton for the 1979-80 year are: Debra Jackson, Peru; Carmen Gerstenschlager, Palmyra; and John Walsh, Gretna. Eaton said hall directors are responsible for hall programs, student conduct and the overall environment of the· hall. They are compensated for their services with free room and board at the college and a salary.

Twelve residence assistants appointed by Eaton are: Tim Pethoud, Falls City; Elizabeth Walsh, Gretna; Laura Pollman, Wymore; Joni Fox, Cozad; Diane Uher, Western; David Rossell, Omaha; Terrell Williams, Tampa, Fl.; Patrick Hunt, Grand Island; Kirk Ochs, Brandon, Fl.; Fredericka Minton, Omaha; Jeff Frields, East Alton, Ill.; and Debra Carter, Papillion.

"Residence assistants live on each floor of the dormitory_ and serve as official representatives of the college. Each student is a carefully selected under-gradua te who is responsible for assisting students and the residence hall program," Eaton said.

Job interviews

Upcoming job interviews have been announced by Don Schulze, PSC director of placement. · Hormel Food Company will be on-campus Sept. 24, Schulze said, to interview prospective job applicants for 1980 employment. Hormel has hired PSC graduates the last two consecutive years, he added.

Schulze said the Marine Corps Officer Selection Team will also be at PSC Oct. 2 to talk with graduating students interested in a career in the.Marine Corps.

1979-8? academic year at Peru State College holds promise for being one of the most exciting and best ever in the 114-year history of the college.

-The new health anc;l physical education center has !aken shape arid we can watch with anticipation of its potential as it is completed this year.

-Enrollment is stable if not enhanced a little according to our estimates.

-The working agreement with Southeast'Community College has eventuated into a transfer handbook and third and fourth year classes are to be offered at Fairbury and Beatrice this autumn by Peru State College.

-The new road to the west of Peru is on the verge of completion, giving the college greatly needed access to the south and to thewest. Transportation to and from Peru has not been better since the railroad ceased passenger service.

-Peru State continues to have a well-qualified faculty and staff, dedicated to the purpose of insuring that Peru State College offers the highest level of instruction, service, and research to its students and the people of the area.

-I'm sure that the students of Peru State College will possess and demonstrate the same enthusiastic and energetic support and loyalty to the college that they have in the past.

-The summer of 1979 has been filled with rewarding instructional activities, as well as with repair and maintenance work that has brought the college's accommodations to an enhanced facilitating level.

-The rains have been frequent and abundant, enhancing agriculture and the beauty of the "campus of a thousand oaks."

-And, we have a promising football team.

Together we should have a rewarding and profitable 1979-80 year. ·

Ritchie gives land

Over 13 acres of land have been received by the PSC Achievement Foundation (PAF) as a gift from alumnus A. B. Ritchie, according to PSC President Larry Tangeman. : The acreage is located on the · Nishnabotna River, approis.i· mately one mile north of the mouth, in Missouri.

Tangeman said the college is considering what impact the land will have on the school's curriculum. "Our plans for an outdoor education center have certainly received a boost as a

result of this very special gift,"

he said, citing the immediate benefit of the property for programs such as the arts, sciences and recreation, and the possibility of teaching more traditional classes in the outdoors.

This gift is connected with the Majors Hall fund drive, Tangeman said, because Majors, when renovated, could serve as an outdoor education center in addition to its use as a health and locker room facility. Dr. Tom I

Fitzgerald, associate professor of physical education, said he believes "the property-has great value for environment and wildlife studies for college students and, eventually, for area elementary students." Ritchie, a 1927 PSC graduate, lives with his wife, Ruth, in Auburn. The couple recently received a plaque expressing appreciation for their "dedica· tion to the educational goals of PSC" from Dr. Jay Hauserman, PAF president.

Computers aid students

PSC students may be studying with the instructional aid of a computer this fall, according to Stan Mccaslin, director of data processing at Peru. Mccaslin said the .college received eight new computers this July in the amount of $20,000."Computers will be available for. student use in the education division, library, administration building, business and science division," said Mccaslin. The

eight Apple II micro-eomputers will provide programmed in· structional learning aids for students in subjects ranging from math to music, he said.

"Faculty interest is very high in using the new micro-eompu· ters," Mccaslin said, and many instructors will have a hand in forming their own learning programs for students.

Currently there are many students with special interests in

Bobcats lose season opener

.The Peru State College Bobcats w.ere thwarted in their bid for a season-opener victory Saturday, Sept. 8, when the Midland Warriors handed them a 22-10 defeat. Midland's defense and short, powerful drive-play offense were just too much for the highly-improved Bobcats. Midland (lJ-8 last season) scored first on a 27yard pass from quarterback Lanik toWest, and Scholimeyer added the extra point. Peru came back to leave the first tied after quarterback Kevin Niday took an option 18 yards before a packed-house crowd of 2,000. Dan Todd, who scored Peru's only other points on a 35-yard field goal in the second quarter, added the extra point.

The Bobcat's offense was ·sparked by sophomore Alvin Holder, who gained 101 yards on 18 attempts. Return specialist Roosevelt Brown had three good punt returns, but the Bobcat offense could not take advantage of the good field position.

Wrestling replaced by tennis, golf programs

Tennis and golf are "in," wrestling is "out" following a restructuring of the athletic department at Peru State College, according to Athletic Director Jerry Joy.

Following a national trend, Peru State will no longer have a wrestling program. Once a small-college powerhouse, the Bobcat wrestling squad finished 15th in the NAIA national tournament in 1975 and 28th in 1976. The Bobcats have not logged a dual wrestling victory since 1977. The Peru wrestling prograin was started in 1971.

Wrestling coach Blaine Gorney has been appointed to the head coaching position at Wayne State, where he will serve· as assistant football coach under Peru alumus Del Stoltenberg. Peru last fielded a golf team in 1975. Then-coach Dr. Ervin Pitts

will reassume the head coaching position and will be in charge of coaching the new WOIIjen's t{lam also. The Peru team will host home meets at the Auburn Country club.

Peru had a men's tennis team through the 1973 season. This year. a women's team will be added for the first time in the history of the school. The head coach is still being sought. Home matches will be played inside the new Health-Physical Center on campus.

Coach Jerry Joy notes that along ·with this restructuring; more emphasis will be put into the track squads also. He reports. that with the completion· of the new Health-Physical Education Center, men's and women's indoor track will be added for tile 1980-81 season, as will men's and women's cross country.

"This new service is for faculty and students who are doing extensive research projects," said reference Librarian Jennifer Kirchmann. "It will benefit people who are working on graduate works or doctorial theses, too."

Kirchmann said the program has several limitations: material must be requested from a certain period of time, for example, all relative material

published in 1977; the type of material (printed or non-printed) must be specified; the availability of different languages is restricted; there is a maximum number of citations that can be requested; and the date the material is needed must be indicated.

Samples of the off-line print-off and bibliographies are available at the library for inspection, according to Kirchmann. The cost for each item requested is approximately 10 to 25 cents, so a list of 20 to 50 items would probably cost under $5, she said.

Along with the tennis tournaments and flag football teams, there will also be co-ed and men's intramural volleyball, and possibly intramura.J volleyball for women.

"Last vear we worked with the WAA pr-ogram and included it with the intramurals when dealing with the women's volleyball teams and games," Fitzgerald said. The anticipated dates for sign-up will be. the last of September or first of October at the intramurals office (west side of gym) or at Fitzgerald's office on the main floor of the gym.

The tennis singles tournaments operate on the basis that each participant plays on his or her own time with their opponent, he said. The scores are kept on record by the intramural department.

"I'm a little disappointed with the tennis sign-ups, because we hoped for more than two women and five men," Fitzgerald said.

There will also be an open gym on Saturday's and Sunday's, from 2-5 p.m., and the pool will be open for use on Tuesday's and Thursday's, 7-9 p.m. "We're looking for a banner year and a lot of fun which will the whole campus in intramurals," Fitzgerald said.

Class officers: extinct?

by Debbie Moore ,

Have you always dreamed of becoming a class officer? Too bad you aren't a member of· the PSC freshman class the lack of competition between r.andidates for office last week left the field wide open for almost anyone to get elected.

No, I'm not trying to downgrade the freshmen-actually, they deserve congratulations. Their less than 30 per cent voter turnout was better than the previous year, and they've been responsible for the increased attendance at most college events this year.

What I question_ ate the reasons behind such. an '.Obvious lack of interest in being or voting - for a class officer. Why doesn't anyone want to be an officer? Is "class" government becoming extinct? Does it serve a valid purpose, or is it a tradition that no one has bothered to stop? After going to school for one year at Peru, I still don't know who my class officers are, or if there are any. I've never needed to know. This could mean I've just missed out on all the important issues the officers should have been involved with, but I'm afraid it's because the

New aid for smokerstobacco-less cigarettes

by Mark McFadden

If you've smelled burning chocolate around campus lately, it's probably because a new type of cigarette is now availab.le in Peru. The cigarettes called "Free," although they cost 75 cents a pack, and they are made of the tender outer layer of the cocoa bean rather than tobacco. Consequently, they are completely free of nicotine.

These non-tobacco filter cigarettes were created to help people give up smoking cigarettes altogether. Being free of nicotine, they are not physically addicting. The plan is that when you decide to quite smoking, you buy a few packs of Frees. Whenever you have the urge to smoke a cigarette, you light up a Free instead; they numb the urge to smoke but don't supply the nicotine your addiction really wanted. In a few days, your body should be free of nicotine, thus ending the physical addiction.

I have tried them myself, and have gixen some to friends. We al Iagree that they have on drawback-they taste horrible. But, they aren't as bad as some cigarettes I have smoked 'overseas, and they aren't harsh. Opinions differ on the aroma-smokers don't like it and non-smokers prefer the smell to tobacco smoke.

The first day off of nicotine I was nervous and had hand tremors; just like every other time I have tried to quit But this time I didn't have to go through the anxiety of fighting off the urge to light up, I just lit up a Free. And this time I think it will work.

Student apathy starts at the top

by Becki Young

idea of "class" government has outlived its usefulness.

The Student Senate makes most of the major student decisions, and _each class has-and should continue to have-representatives in the senate. But I really think the few remaining duties of class officers, whatever they are, could be handled by those senate representatives. And having no class officers· would be more credible than one candidate campaigning for two positions as happened this year.

PSC historyrememher- when?

Fifty years ago: Work on Delzell Hall was finished just as the school year started, thanks to help from the WPA.

Twenty-five years ago: Plans were approved for the faculty and married student housing to be built at their present locations.

Ten years ago: The ceiling of the College Auditorium collapsed during remodelling and the building had to be temporarily condemned.

Social science society meets

The Peru State Social Science Society ·held their annual fall barbecue Sept. 12 in Neal Park, according to Kathy Rogge, historian.

Meetings of PSSSS will be held the first and third Wednesday's of each month, she said. Anyone interested in joining the society may sign-up with SecretaryTreasurer Ralph Blevins. Rogge said annual dues for membership are $4.50. The club is sponsored by Dr. Schottenhamel

Everyone at Peru State is always talking about student apathy-people talk but few are interested enough to do anything about it. Usually the exceptions areJhe student senate members. In the past Peru has had some active student governments but this year is proving to.be a repeat of last year, despite campaign promises made by the Primm-Mittan ticket.

The only reason I single them out is that the presidential candidate and his running mate are generally the ones who actively campaign on campus. The rest of the senate is elected through a popularity contest, not based on whether they are really interested i.n do,ing a good Job or just want the prestige of adding another notch on the old college resume.

This year's student senate is sloppy, tardy, and apatlietic about not only attending the meetings but also whether or not things get done.

I think that some problems could be remedied if the president and vice-president would make an attempt to be more business-like. But when the president conducts his meetings in a baseball cap and the vice-president sits and makes faces at the other members, I can see why some people have trouble taking this group seriously. I know I did.

I arrived at the Sept. 13 senate meeting five minutes late (due to this chronic problem of mine, I never felt qualified to hold public office), but I was surprised when both Renee Wright and Jeff Frields arrived after me by about 10 minutes. Not to be outdone, Tina Gault and Dan Todd were even later in arriving.

As was pointed out by a visitor that evening, senate members know what night and what time the meetings are held when they accept the job, and it fs their responsibility to be thers on time for every meeting. After all, this is what they were elected to po.

Not only should they be there, they should take an active part in what happens. The president cannot and should not be allowed to do it all.

At one point the president asked for a motion from the floor and no one responded, so Primm himself made a motion which the senate seconded and carried. I ask any grade school government student to tell me, "What's wrong with this picture?" Either the senators cannot hear Primm, or no one in that group knows a thing about parliamentary procedure of "Robert's Rules of Order."

If this is to be a learning experience in the practical workings of student governm€nt, something is seriously lacking in our method of teaching. When I look at our student senate as it appears today, it really makes me wonder when I see what's happening at our city, state and national levels of government.

If this seems harsh to those involved, I apologizebut these things must be said. We look to our student leaders for direction and leadership, and it's time you started to provide it.

Review: PSC "cricket" invasion pleases most, too loud for some

by Phyllis Wiggins "Summer of '42," a movie sponsored by the Student Senate, · will be shown in the fine arts audiJprium, Sept. 26, ·at 8 p.m.

The movie is based on the story of a 15-year-old boy experiencing all the of growing up, complete with the adolescent yearning and fumbling, adventures and. hesitant forays into the mysteries of the opposite sex.

Senate President Joe Primm said the movie is the second in a series of films brought to the campus by the Senate.

by Becki Young Peru State College was invaded Sept. 10 by a group of rock 'n rollers calling themselves Cricket. I say "invaded" because they took the whole town by storm. The group gives their hometown as Los Angeles, but has played enough gigs in Nebraska to have a real appreciation of "Cornhusker" country. Now they also appreciate "Bobcat" country, after a record attendance last Monday marked at 250 persons (though most agree that at least 500 persons came and went during the three-set performance.). ··

Cricket began by apologizing for not appearing for the originally scheduled Aug. 30 concert due to illness, but promised us a good time and made sure we got it on the last night of their Midwest tour.

The group performed a variety of music from 1950's rock-and-roll to original Cricket songs. They mixed in a lot of jokes, slapstick and antics with the audience to create a professional atmosphere, of music and comedy. I definitely got the feeling they liked each other and their audience.

During the first set Cricket performed songs by including "Foreigner" and Billy Joel, as well as original songs by group members Jeanie Horney

(keyboards-vocals) called "Gonna' Hang On," and Terry Lick Oead guitar-vocals l called "Tell Me No Lies." They also had several novelty numbers such as a parody on Jimmy Buffets' "Wasted Away Again in Margueriteville" and a comedy take-off on the disco song "YMCA."

The second set included a medley of country-western songs with great guitar performances by Lick and Dan Lottermoser i bass guitar-vocals) on "Ghost Riders in the Sky." Cricket then switched to a more modern

sound with two songs from their soon-to-be-released album, "Don;t Let Me Down Again" and "One Nice Woman."

Cricket's final set of the evening featured the group in 50's attire, complete with greased hair and poodle skirt. After a medley of old and seldom-beard goodies, members of the group took turns doing an Elvis Presley imitation to be voted on by the audience. They were all so good no decision could be reached, but drummer Jim Lindsay got the most attention.

Officers elected

With a voter turnout of just 71 students, six freshman class officers were elected Sept. 12 for the 1979-80 academic year. Three of the candidates were uncontested, including Bob Mccure, now vice-president Elaine Cecetta, secretary; and Sheryl Post, treasurer. Jeanna Beaumont defeated Reggie Johnson for president, and Tony Nebelsick and Karen

Cloover won over Elaine Cecetta and Jeanna Beaumont as Student Senate representatives from the freshman class.

Senate President Joe Primm said, "The student body turnout was better than last year, but because of lack of interest, almost anyone could become an officer." Less than 30 per cent of the freshman class voted.

Grant deadline nears

Grants for graduate study abroad are now available to PSC seniors, according to Placement Director Don Schulze.

'Cats take Applejack

'by Dale Thomas Peru State's Bobcats, led by substitute quarterback Jeff Peterson, came from behind to beat the Tarkio Owls 13-6 Saturday night at Nebraska City in the 11th annual Applejack Bowl. Peru now leads Tarkio 7-4 in the 11-year Applejack series.

After a scoreless first quarter, including a missed 47-yard Bobcat field goal, Tarkio quarterback Harris Green hit tight end Gene Hay with a three-yard pass to give the Owls a 6-0 lead. The extra point kick was blocked.

Peru's first score came with three and a half minutes left in ·the first half. After a fourth down option play secured a key first down for the Bobcats, Peterson plunged in from the one-yard-line to tie the game. Dan Todd's point-after kick was wide to the left, breaking his streak of 20 consecutive succes' sful PAT's.

Following a fumble recovery by Don Hill at the end of the half, Peru missed a 38-yard field goal attempt and left the game tied going into the second half.

Peru faces Wesleyan after win over Owls

Peru State's Bobcats will be placing their 1-1 record on the line when they meet the Plainsmen of Nebraska Wesleyan at Lincoln on Sept. 22. The contest will be the 41st meeting between the two schools; the series record stands at 19-17-4 in favor of Peru.

by Darrell Wellman This early in the season Wesleyan is 2-0 with wins over Colorado College 07-6) in their season-opener and Mid-America College (26-7) last week. Peru's record stands at 1-1 with a 22-10 first game loss to MiaJand and a 13-6 victory last week over the Tarkio Owls in the Applejack Bowl.

Last year the Plainsmen topped Peru in the Oak Bowl by 13-6. Wesleyan went on to register a 5-4 record under Head Coach Harold Chaffee. There will be 19 returning Wesleyan lettermen in uniform when Peru travels to Lincoln next Saturday.

Starters returning for , the Plainsmen offense include running backs Greg Miller (last year's leading rusher), Jim Ashburn and Kirk Kellough. Both quarterbacks, Tom Svehla and Ron Ernst, are also back to guide the team. John Svehla, an outstanding receiver the past two years, rounds out the potent Plainsmen offense.

New football coach added to Bobcat's organization

One of several new faces on PSC' s coaching staff belongs to Gary L. Thompson of Omaha. Thompson will serve as assistant football coach and an instructor of physical education, according to Jerry Joy, athletic director.

A graduate of Doane College, Thompson earned his master's

Garland Shafer recovered a fumbled punt in the third quarter and the Bobcats drove 61 yards for the score. Following a controversial 15-yard penalty against Tarkio, senior fullback Marvin McGill ran one yard for the touchdown. Todd added the extra point, giving Peru a 13-6 lead.

The Owls had a chance to tie the game in the fourth quarter, after Peterson fumbled on the Bobcat 38, but linebacker Hill sacked the Tarkio quarterback on fourth down and the 'cats were back on the offensive.

Tarkio stopped Peru on the next three downs, but Alvin Holder picke·d up a blocked tourth-down punt by Terry Hinkle and carried the ball 40 yards to the Owls 21. The Bobcat drive stalled there, but a fumble bv Tarkio on their final possession sealed the Peru victory.

The Bobcats travel to Lincoln Saturday, Sept. 22. to play the Nebraska Wesleyan Plainsmen. The game is scheduled for 7: 30 p.m. in McGee Stadium.

Bobcat running backs Alvin Holder and Marvin McGill have both had good rushing games so far this season. Holder has rushed for over 100 yards in both games and McGill was named outstanding offensive player of the Applejack game Saturday.

Gametime is set for 7:30 p.m. at Wesleyan's McGee Stadium, in a contest that Coach Jerry Joy believes will be one of the biggest games for Peru all year. Joy added that Wesleyan will be the toughest team the Bobcats have faced yet and the Plainsmen are on their own turf for the third game in a row.

McGill and Gantt named Bob Lade trophy winners

Marvin McGill and Vernon Gantt claimed the Bob Lade trophies for outstanding offensive and defensive players during Saturday's Applejack - Bowl at Nebraska City.

Gantt and McGill are the first Bobcat winners of the awards since Dale Patton earned them in 1974-75. The trophies are named in honor of the late Bob Lade, a former standout athlete and 1954 graduate of Peru State who was head coach at Tarkio from 1964-72. Lade died in 1973.

McGill was a consistent and bruising runner against the Tarkio Owls. He carried the ball 25 times for 116 yards, averaging 4.6 yards per carry. He also scored the winning touchdown un a one-yard plunge late in the third period. McGill's blocking

helped clear the way for runningmate Alvin Holder, who netted 148 yards. McGill is a 5'9, 185-pound fullback from Brandon, Fla.

Gantt was all over the field from his middle guard position. He finished the night as Peru's leading tackler with 15 stops, including 12 unassisted tackles.

Gantt, a converted linebacker, got two quarter-back sacks against the Owls, raising his sack total to four. He is a 5'10, 190-pounder from Tampa, Fla.

Other outstanding efforts were turned in by Steve Vaughn, freshman center; Jeff Peterson, freshman quarterback; Glenn Hubbard, defensive end; and Darrell Baker, defensive line, according to Bobcat Coach Jerry Joy.

The Bobcats now face a month-long, 12-game road schedule that won't see them in action at home until Oct. 12. Peru had little trouble defeating the Plainsmen with the standout play of returners Laura Pollman, Karen Mostrom, Julie Brinkman and newcomer Renee Cheney. The Bobcats took the first two sets easily, 15-4 and 15-5, then held on to win the best three-of-five series, 16-14.

In the first set, Peru jumped to a 7-1 lead and was never threatened. Pollman served five points in the set, followed by Mostrom and Cheney with four each.

'Cats travel to Doane, St. Mary

Peru State's volleyball team will face Doane Cpllege at Crete Wednesday, Sept. 26, and participate in the College of St. Mary triangular in Omaha, Sept. 28. Both games begin at 6 p.m.

The 15-member team consists of returning letter winners Julie Brinkman, Fran Calanni, Margie Grafton, Renee Mammen, Karen Mostrom, Laura Pollman and Jodie Singleton, and also Joyce Myers, Jackie Nixon, Pamela Rossott, Rhonda Schroder, Diana Stanley, Joni Vrtiska, Brenda Wilkinson and Renee Cheney. Assistant coaches are Danelle Warner and Julie Harman, former P(:lru volleyball players.

"We have a young, strong team," Mehus said, "and with the right blend we can make use of each girl's talent. These first few matches will be the big test, and we're looking forward to it."

Cheney starred in the second set, serving up eight straight points enroute to a 12-1 lead. Mostrom followed with four and Pollman dominated net play with five good spikes. The Bobcats had to come from behind to take the third set. Pollman was too much for the visiting Plainsmen, scoring seven points and smashing seven good spikes. Jodi Single-

ton added five points and fire spikes, scoring on seven of seven serves ori the night. The remaining starter, Renee Mammen, played a perfect supporting role as she went five for five serving and seven for seven spiking.

Senate needs students

I would like to take a moment to ask an important question. How would you, as a student, evaluate this year's STUDENT SENATE?

Well, in my opinion, we do have a much better Senate than last year's. The Senate hc:is had a shaky start, with two senators resigning, but it has survived.

What the Senate needs, is ydu, the student. There are many openings on Senate standing committees, which are supposed to be filled by the student body. The Senate is an important part of this college and the way it stands now, the student voice is not a strong component in college decisions.

So, if you would like to become a part of it all, come and talk to me. Get involved; even if you have a gripe, tell us about it. Otherwise we will take it for granted that everything is okay.

JOE PRIMM President, Student Senate

Better idea? Send it in!

by Becki Young

With regard to my editorial · last week on the student senate, I have learned one thing: those who are serious about their jobs are doing something about it, and those who really aren't serious are just standing around complaining.

For example, Patti George, advisor for the student senate, organized a senate retreat last Saturday. The retreat was designed to study the senate constitution and "Robert's Rules of Order." Senate members also re-evaluated their positions and what the goals of the senate are or shoµld be. Unfortunately, ,;ome members did not attend. · I expected a flQOd of letters-tothe-edi for and confrontations with concerned students as a result of my editorial, but the response was surprisingly quiet.

How does the old saying go "Any publicity is good publicity as long as they spell your name right?"

Which leads to this official apology to the freshman class officers whose names were · incorrectly spelled in the last issue of the Ped: Sorry about that! But we, too; are new at our jobs and bound to make mistakes. We can only look to our readers to correct us when necessary. I· really encourage people to write a letter to the editor about problems or complaints that you have about life at Peru State College. People tell me, "You ought to write an editorial about this .," or "It really makes me mad .," or "Why doesn't somebody do something about this?" All I can say is__..:it starts with the individual. If you have a better idea, let's hear it!

It's easy to overlook the display case tucked away in its corner of the science building, and understandable that it ,has been left in such a state.

· In 1931 a rule was made at PSC stating that men and women must stay 25-50 feet apart at all times. The next day the students united and got ropes cut to the required distance: the boys held one end and the girls the other as they went to classes. The rule was removed that day.

Students at that time could pay for their tuition, books, room and board with approximately $200 per year.

Lab safety course begins in October

PSC will offer a laboratory safety workshop for two hours college credit in October, according to Dr. David Pippert, science division chairman at Peru.

An organizational. meeting of the class (Chem. 420) will be held Oct. 2, 7 p.m., in the chemistry ·room at Auburn Senior High School, Aupurn, Ne. A choice between two tentative meeting schedules will be decided during the first class, Pippert said.

"The subject of laboratory safety has received a great deal of attention in recent years," Pippert said, especially since the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 has been expanded to include the safety of

students and faculty working in school laboratories.

"I had been concerned about upgrading the safety of our own labs," he said, "so last year I submit.ted a proposal to research the subject during the summer.'' Pippert's research led to the organization of the class; which he said was intended for "anybody interested in lab safety in general."

Major topics to be covered inthe class, he said; are basic laboratory precautions, safety equipment,. equipment hazards, reaction hazards, flammable and explosive chemicals, chemical.waste disposal, personal liapility, storage of chemicals and toxic, corrosive and carcinogenic chemicals.

Bobcats surprise Wesleyan

by Darrell Wellman

PSC's Bobcats registered win number two last Saturday upon defeating Nebraska Wesleyan University 14-10 in Lincoln. The game that started out as a defensive battle with neither team able to move the ball was soon filled with turnovers and long kick returns.

With one minute remaining in the opening quarter, Roosevelt Brown returned a Plainsmen punt 70 yards for a touchdown, but the run was called back because of a clipping penalty against the Cats. Two plays later Jeff Petersen threw his first interception of the evening and NWU had the football deep in Bobcat territory. The Plainsmen scored on a five-yard pass from Tom Svehla to Bret Burnham. Jim Gades added the point after and Wesleyan led, 7-0.

Garland Shafer recovered a fumble midway in the second , quarter, giving Peru goad field position. The Bobcats failed to capitalize'; however, and the punt by Terry Hinkle. put the Plainsmen deep in the hole.

Wesleyan failed to get the first down, but a roughing-the-kicker penalty after a poor Wesleyan punt gave the Plainsmen an automatic first down. The two teams exchanged interceptions to wind down the first half and the score remained 7-0.

Two minutes into the second half, Brown returned a punt 60 yards for a touchdown. Dan Todd evened the score, 7-7, with his PAT kick.

The Plainsmen failed to move the ball with any consistency in the second half, leaving the Bobcats with third and goal to go from the six yard line. The Cats couldn't get the ball into the end

The fourth period saw the ball change hands several times through fumbles before Gades hit a 37-yard NWU field goal with just 44 seconds remaining in the game. Roosevelt Brown, in the highlight of the game, returned the following kick-off 98 yards for the winning touchdown. Todd added the kick to make the Bobcat victory 14-10.

Bobcat spikers add victory

A three-out-of-five set victory was the turn-out in favor of PSC's Bobcat volleyball team against Tarkio College Sept. 22.

A 15-7 lead was the outcome of the first set. Julie Brinkman led the Bobcats with nine serving points, followed by Renee Cheney with six. Brinkman also led the team with nine spikes, followed by Karen Mostrom with seven.

Coach Maxine Mehus said that the team had good sets, which helped to assist with their spiking points. She accredited Renee Mammen with 12 assists and Jodi Singleton with 11.

The second set outcome repeated the first set with a score of 15-7 in favor of Peru. The serving game was again dominated by Cheney with eight points and Mostrom with four.

A score of 15-10 cinched the Bobcat victory in the third set. "In the third set we played a few of our newcomers and younger players. The result was greatthe girls played very well together, which is what we want," Mehus said.

Coach Mehus also said that she felt the overall serving percentage of 97 per cent was tremendous. "I think our three set victory taught us .to stay in the lead and not to get behind, and that's what we'll be going for against Doane," she said.

Senate vice-president Mittan resigns

by Jim Anderson

A number of decisions were reached including the acceptance of Vice President Chuck Mittan's resignation, at the Student Senate's meeting Sept. 26 at Delzell Hall.

After the approval of amendments to the Senate Constitution and approval of Rita Ervin, assistant admissions director, as the new Senate advisor, President Joe Primm noted that Renee Pappas had not yet officially resigned from the Senate. The Senate decided to wait until the Oct. 4 meeting to make a decision concerning. impeachment, if her resignation hadn't been received by then.

Primm next read Mittan's resignation to the Senate. In order to hold executive office on the Senate, a student must at

least be a sophomore or have a minimum of 30 credit hours.

Mittan informed the Senate ·on Sept. 25 that because of a failed class last year, he has only 29 credit hours and is still a freshman.

The point was stressed by Primm that Mittan voluntarily came foward with the informalion and Ren.ee Wright argued that an exception be made. Mittan, however; asked that the Constitution be followed and his resignation was accepted.

Miltaf1's replacement will be chosen from present Senate members, which will leave three available Senator-At-Large positions. It will be possible for Mittan to be chosen to fill one of those positions. Mittan said he would probably accept if asked.

Adiscrepancy was discovered in the Senate Constitution concerning the Senator-At-Large

Marchers work hard; deserve higher praise

by Debbie Moore

There Is always one group of students, at all levels of academia, which never receives the attention or acclaim it deserves-the marching band.

The Bobcat marching band turns in an entertaining performance at every 'home football game, and creates goodwill towards the college by appearing in parades throughout Southeast Nebraska, yet they are seldom recognized for these services.

· And if it weren't for copyright laws, the Bobcat band could claim the fogo, "Neither rain, nor snow, nor dark of night " They practice at least one-and-a-half hours every weekday, in addition to weekend performances, yet they are rarely praised for their dedication and reliability.

·wmrootth'e 'mtirchirrg band in the stands. They usually lead the crowd in volume, enthusiasm and originality, but no one has yet credited them with demonstrating the true meaning of "Bobcat spirit" and loyalty. ·•.

Every successful group effort requires a great deal of concentration and cooperation, but it is especially true for a marching band.

It isn'tjust memorizing five or six pieces of music and a marching routine, or wearing a scratchy wool uniform and carrying a sometime.s cumbersome instrument, or tromping back and forth across a soggy football field when you'd rather be down at the bar that makes it so difficult

The real difficulty lies in always trying to maintain the level of pride and involvement necessary to turn in a good performance every time, especially when that effort so often goes unnoticed. So, even if it never gets said again, "The Bobcat marching band is appreciated as a vital part of PSC." Right?

Football and tennis continue

Intramurals continue this month with four flag football teams and a women's and men's singles tennis tournament, according to Dr. Tom Fitzgerald, director of the program. Results of the men's single tennis tournament to date leave Lamond Wilburn, Omaha freshman, Dave Rossell, Ceresco junior; and Ralph Blevins, Peru senior, to battle it out in the. finals.

In round one competition, Sargent junior Jerry Grint,

Wilburn and Blevins all won on a bye. Rossell beat Robert Blevins, Geneva freshman, with scores of 6-0 and 6-2. Round two of the tournament saw Wilburn eliminate Grint, 6-0 and 6-2. The Rossell-Blevins match had not been played at presstime.

Seven women are competing for the women's singles tennis championship. In round one, Jackie Halterman, Beatrice junior, advanced on a bye, and Syracuse senior Karen Lechner

Peru second at home

Concordia used a swarming defense Sept. 29 to defeat the .PSC Bobcats, 3-0, in the Oak Bowl. The Bobcats have not been able to take advantage of their home field in either of their first two home games this season.

Peru dropped to 2-2 after their loss to the CTC Bulldogs. Earlier this year the Cats dropped their season opener to Midland, 22-0. PSC has won twice on the road, against Tarkio in Nebraska City and against Wesleyan in Lincoln.

The Bobcats were held to only 83 total offensive yards by Concordia, who ran up 303 yards and 14 first downs. The.Bulldogs scored on a 28-yard field goal by John Dumar during the second quarter, the only points scored in the game by either team.

Peru was able to get past the CTC 45-yard line only once during the game. At times the Bobcat offense looked extremely good but Coach Jerry Joy could not find a quarterback to spark the Cats into the endzone. Three

different quarterbacks were used during the game, for a total of 21 passing yards on two completions with two intercepttions. PSC's defense played well again, led by Garland Shafer, sophomore monster back from Shubert. Shafer grabbed 16 tackles on the night, while junior linebacker Steve Buss, Adams, came off the bench to net 15 tackles, his best game this season. The Bobcats recovered a CTC

fumble during the fourth quarter, but the Peru offense could not move the ball. The Ca ts then failed on a fourth-down fake field goal attempt when Kirk Ochs' pass bounced off sophomore Alvin Holder in the end zone.

Class changed

Peru State College's "Workshop in Auto Maintenance" nrn;lustrial Arts 118) has been rescheduled, according to Dr. Lester Russell, chairman of the industrial arts division at Peru. Originally intended to meet beginning Sept. 5 at 5 p.m., the first class session is now set for October 10, from 6 to 8:40 p.m., in Room Four of the Industrial Arts Building. The class, offered for one college credit hour, will meet every Wednesday for five weeks. Course instructor will be Robert Pettit.

In the flag football action, the Jazz leads with three wins, followed by the Lions with two. The Jazz met the Lions in a close game Sept. 17, but the Jazz scraped by with a 7-6 victory. The Zoo and Crunchers both lost on a double forfeit the following afternoon, and the Zoo forfeited to the Jazz on Sept. 19.

Another forfeit put the Lions over the Crunchers, Sept. 24, and the Lions pulled a crushing 14-7 victory over the Zoo the following day. The Jazz defeated the Crunchers, Sept. 25, again by forfeit.

Brown is ''player of week;"

New loan fund set

Approximately $60,000 left to Peru State College by the estate of a Peru alumnus has been established as the Sheridan W. Livermore Student Loan Fund, according to President Larry Tangeman.

Livermore's gift to the college is in the form of stocks, government savings bonds and $6,165cash, Tangeman said. The stocks _include 3,286.02 shares of Hamilton Fund, Inc., 512 shares of Putnam Growth Fund and 150 shares of Pacific Lighting Corporation.

PSC also received half-interest in two land contracts located in Alaska, Tangeman said, but their value is unknown at the present time.

The loan fund has been turned over to the Peru Achievement Foundation to be managed, Tangeman said. "I don't know how they will handle the fund, but I imagine we will only utilize the income from it every year," he said.

According to Becki Young, PSC college relations office, Sheridan Livermore graduated from Peru in 1932 with a degree in manual arts. After serving in World War II until 1948, Livermore went with his wife to Alaska and established a laundry business which eventually branched out across the ' rapidly developing state. After living and working in Alaska for 20 years, Young said, Livermore and his wife went into semi-retirement in California. His wife died in 1974, and his only surviving relative, nephew Cliford Livermore, cared for the elder Livermore until his death in April, 1977.

Tangeman said Livermore's will specificed that the money left to Peru be used in a student loan fund. He also said the fact that Livermore attended college during the Depression probably influenced his decision to leave money for that purpose to the college.

Sign to ·greet visitors

"Peru State College, Campus of a Thousand Oaks," is the message now greeting visitors to the PSC campus on a new, lighted display sign located near the Education Building at the south entrance to campus.

According to PSC President Larry Tangeman, the sign was purchased for several reasons.

"With the old sign we had, we didn't have the right letters to spell the things we wanted, and sometimes the wind would blow the letters off. Also, people would rearrange the letters so the sign wouldn't read the way it was supposed to. Plus, the old sign didn't really complement the brick 'Peru State College' sign located below it," he said.

Tangeman said that placing

the letters on the new sign was rather difficult, but that they were more reliable and could not be tampered with as easily.

"We're having trouble changing messages fast enough," Tangeman said. "For example, 'Crush Concordia' was•.up there too long. I would think that with all the activities going on around here, we should be able to change the sign all the time," he said.

The old sign, Tangeman said, was probably contributed to the campus Circle K organization arid has been removed to storage. The new display sign was purchased from Nebraska Neon and Plastic Signs Company in Lincoln.

"He probably had many hardships attending school at that time, most of which could have been eliminated by the existence of a student loan fund," Tangeman said. He said the college plans to "do something appropriate to show our appreciation" sometime this spring.

'79 royalty finalists elected; half-time coronation planned

Finalists for PSC's 57th annual Homecoming king and queen were elected Oct. 3-4, according to. Student Affairs Coordinator Patti George.

Queen candidates for 1979 are Joni Fox, Cozad; Carmen Gertenschlager, Palmyra; and Fredricka Minton, Omaha.

Candidates for Homecoming king are Kirk Ochs, Brandon, Fla.; Jon Orton, Nebraska City;

and Greg Sanders, Lake Charles, La. Only seniors were eligible· for the king and queen competition.

Class attendants were also elected last week, George said. They are juniors Rhea Harshbarger, Humboldt, and Kevin Niday, Wymore; sophomores Bev Malcolm, Verdon, and Keith McKim, Peru; and freshmen Kellye Gordon, Chicago, and Keith Everett, Omaha.

During previous PSC homecomings, a Gridking and Gridqueen were elected in addition to a Homecoming queen. The queen w.as crowned at the dance, while the football captain crowned the Grid king and queen at half-time of the Homecoming game. This tradition was eliminated in 1946.

From that time until recently, .• only a Homecoming queen has been elected each year. In the last few years, however, the tradition of crowning a Homecoming king has been revived.

The final selection of this year's Homecoming king and queen will be announced during half-time of the Bobcat football game vs. the Yankton (S.D.l Greyhounds, Saturday, Oct. 13,

at 2 p.m. in the Oak Bowl. The queen candidates and class attendants will be presented at that time.

"Coma" preview

"Coma," starring Genevieve Bujold, Michael Douglas and Richard Widmark, will show Wednesday, Oct. 17, at 8 p.m. in the Fine Arts Auditorium. Bujold plays a medical student who's friend goes into a coma after a routine minor operation. Further investigation on her part reveals a suspiciously high number of coma victims after routine surgeries in the hospital. Bit by bit, she uncovers an eerie conspiracy that is all too believable in light of today's technology.

Even more engaging than the plot is Bujold's masterful performance. It is still rare today to see a woman protrayed in the movies as intelligeent, resourceful, tenacious and brave -Bujold is all of these, while maintaining an endearing femininitv.

A high level of mystery and suspense is kept throughout the film, making "Coma" a rare treat. And you'll never trust a hos pi ta! again.

Display editorial questioned 'Cattin around

by Steve Shupe and Larry Pappas

It seems that a national news problem and its extremes knows no level. Sensationalism is indeed an everyday tool of the national newsperson and has now surfaced, on the small college level.

The reference here is to 'an editorial in the Ped of Sept. 28 entitled ':Display Case Needs Clean-Up." The truth of the subje.ct matter is of little dispute. However, as any high school journalist knows there are five general concepts in reporting: Who, What, When, Where, and Why. That "why" of the matter was not researched nor was the future of said display case investigated. Albeit, the problem is minor in its surface significance. However, the inference is to the incompetence of the present

staff, not to mention the direct slap to our predecessors, including former President Douglas Pearson. I'm sure that the article was humorous in .some but the blatant cynicism · and sarcasm are not the means to a pleasing end. Nor is this type of sophomoric journalism a credit to the Ped.

Hopefully, in the future we can depend on a more sive type of reporting to mclude the pros and cons of a subject rather than surface sensationalism.

Editor's note: Come on guys. Surely you're not serious! The editorial about the display case was written tongue-in-cheek. Is the pursuit of· science such a grim task you have lost your senses of humor?

Senator Newell thinks PSC unjustified

by Debbie Moore

The Board of Trustees two weeks ago brought a discouraging piece of information to my attention-this year yet another Nebraska state legislator has spoken out against PSC and appears to advocate discontinuing its use as a Nebraska state college. District 13 Senator Dave Newell of Omaha was quoted in the "Alliance Times-Herald" (Sept. 27) •,as saying: "Peru State College ought to be scrutinized very carefully, because I no longer believe its existence is justified." Sen. Newell apparently arrived at this conclusion as a resultof his

proposal to form a "super board" to replace the Regents a.pd Trustees which would control state spending on higher education.

I don't want to cry "wolf" and see a lot of time and effort devoted to organizing a second "dribble drive" right away, because I don't believe Sen. Newell's ideas on closing PSC pose a serious threat at present.

To begin with, I don't think he will find much support in a Legislature that little more than a year ago passed a bill funding Peru's new physical education and sports complex. Second, it seems that closing Peru would only be seriously considered if a "super board" were created,

ert's Rules of Order" were not followed correctly, that she believed the meeting was hard to take seriously because Joe Primm wore a baseball cap, and that in her opinion senators were voted in on popularity rather than whether they could do a good job or not.

First of all, I realize punctuality is <l virtue I often Jack; however, to dwell on certain senators tardiness is trite when one stops to consider the amount of time and energy they must exert. once tl)ey arrive at the meeting or other numerous Senate-sponsored functions.

Secondly, I would remind Ms. Young that although "Robert's Rules of Order" are a useful way of organizing any meeting, they are not by any means the only way. They are also not a prerequisite for effectiveness!

Which brings me to point three. True, at the Sept. 13 meeting Joe Primm wore a baseball cap. It is also true that

Dr. Barrett, Mr. Eaton and Mayor Mcintire were present to discuss the town's complaints concerning the "Cricket" concert (a concert sponsored by the Student Senate which took two months to negotiate and was the first of its kind at PSC in over six years). Through a serious discussion with the abovementioned men, the Senate resolved most of the uneasy feelings about the concert and another one is being planned for the spring.

How does the old saying go "You can't judge a book by its cover?"

If Senators were out to seek another notch for their resumes, I can think of more prestigious and more publicly gratifying ways of doing it-such as being associate editor of a college newspaper. year's Senate is not only responsible for the concert, but for two prominent guest speakers, for the vastly improved film selection, for putting on Home-

Save parking spaces-walk

by

Becki Young

As was mentioned in lastweek's Ped, parking tickets are now being issued by the college. I'm sure we all realize there is a problem with the parking situation on campus. Now, with all the construction work and workers on campus, there are even fewer spaces than IC!st year.

How many times have you seen someone you know jump in their car at the complex and drive down to the gym or the Fine Arts Bui !ding? Or there's the person who may live just a few blocks off-campus but drives to school every day. Later you hear tile same person complain when they get a ticket.

This kind of habit is easy to fall into-you know you'll be late for class so you drive up.

I know that Peru has cheap gas, but who has the money for that kind of cruising? Also, it is healthier to walk and get exercise.

f\Aany students and staff members do walk to campus every day. They are making a conscious effort to conserve energy, as well as taking advantage of the fact that we live in a place that makes walking convenient to almost·everywhere in Peru, including downtown. In addition, they are helping to alleviate the parking problems.

Think the next time you head up to campus in your car. Is it really worth it to drive up there, only to find you've spent more time looking for a place to park than it would have taken you to walk?

which indefinitely delays serious effort in that direction On the other hand, w shouldn't take Sen. Newell' comments too lightly. And if w must still. prove outselves anyone, we can start with S Newell's two stated complain against PSC.

First, he said that 60 per cen of the credit hours at Peru ar taken by out-of-state studen and, second, "I think ever housewife down there takes a class to keep the head count up," (quoted in the "Daily Nebras kan," Sept. 11).

If there is a quota set for th amount of credit hours allowe out-of-state students at stat colleges, it must have slippe past me. If not, then what's the problem? Those students are paying increased tuition to offset state taxpayers' money; if it isn't enough, perhaps tuition for them should be raised slightly rather than object to the number of out-of-state students in state colleges.

coming and for a lot of P.R. work. It is always easy to put an organization down, especially if incidents are taken out of context. This year's Student Senate needs jmprovement, as does every organization in the world, but they've come a long way. The only way we can keep on coming is if we are given the support of the student body, if we are judged fairly, and if criticism is constructive rather than vindictive.

Editor's Note: Dr. Clyde Barrett was not present at 'the Sept. 13 meeting of the Student Senate. President Larry Tangeman, however, did attend the meeting with Eaton and Mcintire.

And what about the housewives? Aren't they taxpayers? State colleges are run on tax money paid, in part, by those housewives, and it's beyond me how Sen. Newell can object to their use of Peru to further educClte themselves. Aside from that, I also cannot imagine how he intends to placate womens' rights advocists who will resent his inference that housewives don't count with college educators and state legislators.

No, it's not time for another "save Peru" campaign. But it is time to let Sen. Newell know that his efforts haven't gone unnoticed. PSC is a vital economic and cultural part of Southeast Nebraska and, even more important, it is where we have chosen to go to college-I think we owe ourselves and Peru the five minutes it would take to send Sen. Newell a postcard and tell him so. Remember the "dribble drive!" (and maybe this time we won't need one ) Send your postcard to: The Honorable Dave Newell, Senator, District 13; Nebraska State Legislature; 4027 Bauman; Omaha, Ne. 68112.

Chan.ge of colors in

Peru's 1,000 oaks

by Dale Thomas

Look up sometime this week and you will notice that the colors of the "campus of a thousand oaks" are changing. It's fall again and the leaves on the trees at Peru are turning from their summer greens to the red and yellow shades of fa!L

Because of the cooler weather which accm;JJpanies the fall season, the leaves on the trees begin to die. As the leaves die, they can no longer produce chlorophyll, the substance which causes the leaves to be green; therefore, the change in color · occurs.

According to Everett Browning, a Peru resident for a number of years, many people travel to Peru each fall to see the color show put on by the trees. He said that because there are so

many different types of trees here, a variety of colors and shades is produced tpat cannot be seen elsewhere. Another rarity which occurs at PSC during the autumn is the falling of the ginkgo tree's leaves. Accordrng to Steve Shupe, science instructor at· Peru, these trees are one of the most primitive kinds in the U.S. Two. ginkgo trees are located just west of the science building, Shupe said, and their main attraction is that they loose all their leaves on the same day. This week take a glimpse around and notice the beauty of the fall colors. It is a beauty not found in too many places, but luckly the "campus of a thousand oaks" can share this color show with all of us each fall.

Homecoming parade route £.

The corner of Washington and Fifth Streets in Peru will see plenty of action Saturday, Oct. 13, at 10:45 a.m when the 57th annual PSC Homecoming par' ade begins.

This year's Homecoming parade will host area high school and junior high bands and local and campus entries. Four floats were entered in the parade as of Oct. 3. They are being sponsored by Alpha Mu Omega, math fraternity; Sigma Beta Chi, social fraternity; Phi Beta Lambda, business fraternity; and PEP (Peru's Enthusiastic

Peoplel.

"Everyone is invited to join in and be a part of the parade and Homecoming spirit," said Patti George, student affairs coordinator. Parade judges for this year. according to George, are college registrar Kelly Liewer and PSC business instructor William Snyder. George said the third judge had not yet been selected.

Two Peru State College graduates will direct the half-time "Band-0-Rama."

They are Torn Osborne, Auburn middle school band instructor, and Roland Barrett, Fairbury junior high band instructor.

Ten area bands, including Osborne's and Barretts, have already agreed to participate in the Homecoming parade and half-time activities, and music. professor Gilbert E. Wilson said more are anticip(ited to sign up.

Tours of the new Bobcat- sports and physical exciting activities during PSC's 1979 Homecoming education complex will be given Saturday, Oct. 13, weekend. Other Saturday Homecoming events from 9:30-10:30 a.m., according to College Relations include an alumni registration at 9 a.m., the parade Director Bob Hagedorn. The sports complex, which through downtown Peru at 10:45 a.m., Bobcat has been under construction since 1978, is scheduled football vs. Yankton, S.D., at 2 p.m., a P-Club for completion Dec. 8, in time for the Bobcat reception after the game and a dance in the college basketball team to finish their season under its roof. gym from 9 p.m.-1 a.m. <Photo by Mike Northrup.

Stroll down PSC memory lane

by Mark McFadden

What was Homecoming like for those Peruvians of yesteryear?. Let's take a stroll down "memory lane" <via back issues of the "Pedagogian" and the "Peruvian" l and find out.

First we see how fatuous PSC alumni could be for example, the class cheer of 1902: Peru, Peru, Rip, zip, bazoo. We yell like sin for old Peru.

Homecoming wasn't a big deal in those Halcyon "days of yesteryear; in fact, you'll find no mention of Homecoming in the earliest Peds and yearbooks. Let's start skipping forward.

It'$ 1945. The War is over and Homecoming marches on. One major difference between then

and now is the number of sailors at the Homecoming festivities due to the Naval Training Unit located here during the war. Gobs and their girls hopping to the music of Al Marsh and his orchestra

In 1950, the students were older and many were veterans. The married students, gallant contributors to the baby boom," lived in "Vetville." Homecomings were picking up due to the activities of the Blue Devils, a sort of pep club, ably assisted by the ladies' auxiliary, the White Angels. They declared "Open Season on the KSC Antelopes" and every club and frat had a display.

Hair was short and the student body was clean-cut and optimis-

· tic ·in 1960. The male escorts looked like potential astronauts and the Queen and her court had that 'First Lady Look."

When Reople talk about the "Sixties, ' they are referring to 1968. That was the year of the R.F.K. and King assassinations, the Tel Offensive, the Chicago Convention riots, the beginning of the Nixon years, the riots at Berkeley and a whole lot of other fun stuff. The Peruvian members of the Woodstock Generation were en}oying a "PsyCodeIic World' Rebellion was manifested in the presence of a few beards. Concern over world events drove virtually dozens of students to read "Time" and "Newsweek."

Pop art was. the motif for 1970 Homecoming decorations. The candidates for Queen wore mini-skirts. There are many more Homecoming tidbits to enjoy in those old Peds. See the PSC faculty in their crazy days. See our illustrious Dean of Student Affairs .driving a tank through downtown Peru. Ah, for the good old days. Rip, zip, bazoo.

"Rocky Horror Picture Show" tonight

by Dave Thomas

PSC students will get to see perhaps the wildest and most frequently shown movie ever when the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" comes to the Fine Arts Auditorium tonight at 7:30 p.m.

The Lou Alder-Michael White production is based on the original musical play "Rocky _Horror Show," which was a command performance for the Queen of England written by Richard O'Brien. According to Mark McFadden, a Peru Players member and big fan of the movie, many of the members of the drama club are planning to attend and "participate" in the movie.

McFadden said that the movie is a phenomenen in many larger cities and is usually shown at

midnight on Friday or Saturday nights for a year or more at a time. Many of the audience members dress up and respond to the characters in the movie, McFadden said, and that will probably be the case 'with the more avid fans among the Players.

The movie takes on a rock concert atmosphere with such songs as 'Toucha-toucha-me" and "Sweet Transvestite," but

the plot is based on a middle-class American family whose car breaks down in a storm, forcing them to take refuge in a castle owned by a bi-sexual transvestite called Frankenfurter.

I'm not really sure if "Rocky Horror Picture Show" will cause the uproar in Peru that it has in larger cities, but if the Peru Players are any indication, I don't think we should miss it!

First woman trainer enjoys job

by Beth Propst and Debbie Moore

I asked Cindy Plantenga, PSC's first woman football trainer, whether or not she liked her job after working, five football games and countless practice sessions, and she said:

"I love it! The coaches are great to work with and I think I've learned a lot so far ·this season." Plantenga's first at PSC really started, however, in her hometown of Spring Lake, Mich., where she coached and trained gymnastics students at the junior high school level.

Sophomore Plantenga's interest in athletic training grew as a result of her at Spring Lake, and after coming to Peru she took a course in training under assistant footb'all coach Terry Gilliland.

"After I convinced myself I could do the job as football trainer," Plantenga said, "I asked Coach Joy about it and then met with him several times

IM football scores, ,standings up-date

PSC intramural football standings show the Jazz still in the number one spot with a 4-1 record, according to Director of Intramural Sports Tom Fitzgerald. The Jazz pulled off a 14-12 victory over the Zoo on Oct. 4, after a stinging 8-0 loss to the second-ranked Lions, Oct. 2.

The Lions hold second place with a 3-1 record, and the Zoo is in third with a 1-4 record after a stunning win over the Crunchers. The Crunchers have an 0-4 record and are in fourth place. All of their games have been lost by forfeit. Results of the three final games and season standings were not available at press-time.

for taping sessions."

When asked if she thought her presence in the locker room affected the football players' behavior, Plantenga said, "I really can't say, because I've never known what the guys were like without me around." She said she thinks most of the players like her, and that "most of them are pretty good to me. I get a few crude remarks, but not many."

Reactions from people outside the Bobcat football organization are not always favorable, though, Plantenga said. "The refs walked past me standing with the team during the first game and just did a double-take. They stopped, turned around, shook their heads and walked on," she said. Other women are usually envious of her position, Plantenga added, "but I've heard that some women don't like it. No one has approached me about it, though."

Plantenga's attempt to break into a traditionally male field "was not because I'm a women's libber," she said. "Anyway, I think I'm treated as an equal while I'm working." Plantenga, like everyone else on the team, puts in approximately four hours of work a day, including all home and away football games.

Most of the football players seem to have accepted the Bobcat's first woman trainer

fairly well, Plantenga said, "but I think some of the guys avoid me when it comes to taping or treating injuries." Student foot, ball coach Mark Johnson, Columbus, Ohio, senior, agreed with her: "I know a few guys who don't want Cindy to tape them, especially before a game, but in most cases, I don't think it's because she's a woman. It's just that thev still consider Cindy as inexperienced, so they go to the trainer who's been there four years."

Plantenga, who's majoring in physical education and coaching at Peru, said she doesn't intend to make a career of athletic training. "Someday I want to run my own gym so I can give classes in gymnastics, and I already have an offer to manage a gym when I graduate," she said. Plantenga is presently teaching a course in gymnastics through the continuing education division at Peru.

When I asked her to describe the funniest thing that has happened to her since starting work as a football trainer, Plantenga said, "During the Wesleyan game in Lincoln, I was standing on the field away from the team when some guy walked by and said, 'They sure have improved things in football since I was around."'

And I think most Bobcats would agree.

PSC spoils NWU's

The Bobcat volleyball team won three out of

PSC notches third win

The first two touchdown passes of the season for Peru State gave the Bobcats a come-from-behind 13-12 victory over Benedictine College at Atchison, Kansas Saturday. The Bobcats host Yankton (S.D.) College in the annua! Homecoming game at 2 p.m. this Saturday.

The Peru State passing attack, which had only netted 113 yards in the first four games, exploded for 195 yards against Benedictine, who saw their own Homecoming spoiled. Converted flanker back Johnnie Stewart accounted for all 195 passing yards in his first appearance as Peru State quarterback. Stew-. art, who was the leading Peru rusher with 52 yards, is a junior from Tampa, Florida.

Running back Alvin Holder caught both touchdown passes after Benedictine had taken a 12-0 lead in the third period. Holder's first two touchdowns of

the season covered 69 and 70 yards, the latter coming with 2:08 remaining in the game. On the night, the Tampa sophomore caught four passes for 142 yards and added 50 yards rushing.

The Peru State defnese, which saw the hosts net 390 yards, came through with a key fumble recovery three plays later to seal the victory. Garland Shafer, monster back from Shubert, recovered the fumble and had

nine tackles on the night. Steve Orton, Nebraska City junior, had a career-high 11 tackles, while Don Hill, junior from Tampa, paced the defense with 13 stops.

The win gave Coach Jerry Joy's Bobcats a 3-2 record going into Saturday's Homecoming game against the Yankton Greyhounds. The Hounds will be seeking to avenge a 42-14 setback they received at their own Homecoming last year.

Peru State College will host the Yankton, S.D., Greyhounds in this Saturday's 57th annual Homecoming football game at 2 p.m. in the college Oak Bowl. "We'll be facing a much improved squad over last year's team, which we beat 42-14 at their Homecoming," commented Head Football Coach Jerry Joy. "The entire Yankton squad is returning from last year's team, and their defensive unit looks greatly improved. They held Concordia to 13 points, .Doane to 14 and Westmar to 14," he added.

57 years of foothall

by Rosie Schulenberg

This year will mark the 57th annual Homecoming football game for the PSC Bobcats. Their first Homecoining game was played Nov. 30, 1922, between the Peru freshmen and sophomores. The sophomores defeated the freshmen, 6-0.

In the 56 years since then, the Bobcats have played 13 different teams during Homecoming matches. Peru has hosted a total of 56 Homecoming bouts,. of which they have won 32, lost 22 and tied two.

The team the Cats have faced most often for Homecoming is Chadron State Cpllege. PSC has walked away with six of their twelve contests with the Eagles.

Peru's best Homecoming series record is with Nebraska Wesleyan University in Lincoln. The Plainsmen have taken only one of nine meetings with the Cats during Homecoming.

Midland College in Fremont has been stomped by PSC four times out of the (ive they have visited Peru for Homecoming games', but the Cats only managed to defeat the Doane Tigers twice. They also lost to Doane twice and tied the Tigers once.

The Bobcats picked up their second Homecoming series tie against Northwest Missouri State University, and lost to NWMSU during their only other match-up for Homecoming.

Peru's worst Homecoming foe

has been Hastings College. The Broncos stomped PSC both times they travelled to Peru for a Homecoming game. This year's Homecoming match-up is the first ever between the Bobcats and the Yankton, S.D., Greyhounds.

"Access to Peru hasn't been better since the railroad came through,"_ said Dr. Lar.ry Tangeman, Peru State· College president, describing the newly re-opened Highway 67 connecting Peru with Highway 73-75 to Auburn and Nebraska City.

Construction on Highway 67 was actually completed on September 13. Landscape work is still being done and should be completed shortly.

Director of Residence Life at Peru State, L. David Eaton, organized a committee representing both area residents, organizations and college students to plan a joint celebration of the new road.

Eaton said the road opening celebration will begin at 2:30 p.m., Sunday, October 21, when the Marching Bobcat Band will lead a procession from the Peru State Education Building to

Highway 67. The dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place at 3 p.m., followed by a picnic and pork barbecue at the college's Oak Bowl at 4:30 p.m.

•.

"The barbecue is free for all Peru area residents, PSC students and those involved with the festivities," Eaton said.

Other celebration activities to be held on-campus, Eaton said, are a game competition in the Oak Bowl from 5:30-6:30 p.m., a movie to be shown at 7 p.m. in the Fine Arts Auditorium, and a dance to end the road opening at 9 p.m. in the College Gymnasium.

"Both civic and campus organizations donated money to finance the celebration," Eaton said, in addition to sending representatives to the planning committee.

Students will teach beginning next week

Twenty-seven PSC students will go out in the field Oct. 22 to begin their "professional semesters," said Evan Van Zant, director of the student teaching program at Peru.

"Students will be sent to 14 schools in 12 different towns," Van Zant said, "under the supervision of Dr. Esther Divney, chairperson of the education division, Mrs. Ruth Lachelt and myself." ·

According to Van Zant, 14 of the students will complete their professional semesters in elementary education and 13 will student teach at the secondary level.

The following area schools are hosting Peru's student teachers this semester:

National and local employers will provide job information at the second annual NETCHE career fair, Nov. 1 and 2, at the Omaha Hilton Hotel.

The career fair is an event sponsored by the NETCHE Cooperative Placement Service and gives business recruiters a chance to come and present information to undergraduate and graduate college students.

Employers attending the fair will be looking for students with a variety of majors. Over 40 employers will be represented, including the U.S. Navy, Army and Air Force, Northwestern Bell, General Mills, Nebraska Department of Central Data Processing, Mutual of Omaha, Hallmark Cards, New York Life Insurance, Dale Electronics, Xerox Corporation and others.

In addition to meeting with prospective employers, the fair will provide career counselling, an evaluation center, decisionmaking and job search skills, resume writing and interview techniques.

The fair is open to all college students and gives them an opportunity to talk to employers and see what qualities they look for when hiring personnel.

"This would especially benefit the undergraduate student," said Placement Director Don Schulze. "Once the student has talked to the employers, he will know what classes to take to prepare for specific job qualifications," said.

"This also gives juniors and seniors a chance to talk to employers and discuss the possibility of going to work for them," said Schulze. "I believe the hardest thing in finding a job is finding the right person to talk to. This fair is a chance for the students to talk directly to employers," he said.

Although no interviews will be conducted at the fair, students may leave copies of their

resumes with those companies they're interested in, Schulze said. "This is a great resource that shouldn't be taken lightly," said Schulze. "The seminar gives the student a sense that his or her college education is valuable," he added.

Transportation will be provided by PSC for those students who wish to participate in the fair. For more information, contact Schulze in the Administration Building.

Alum's pride helps PSC

gui'ding tours at the site of the new gym during Homecoming last weekend, I had the pleasure and privilege of meeting and talking to some of our alumni. I especially enjoyed their stories of what PSC was like while they were here.

Some, who marveled over the new gym, remembered when the present gym was remodeled from a chapel to i_ts present form. This involved, if you can believe 1t, lowering its ceiling and moving the basketball c.ourt up from downstairs (yes, downstairs) to the main floor and putting a new swimming pool where the old court had been..

_ ·

Those that I talked to seemed to feel that the new gym was a definite improvement, especially the intlusion of restrooms; It seems that free-zing in the winter while crossing back and forth from the present gym to the fine arts building is an old Peru tradition!

We have "come a long way, baby"-in some ways. But I think the thing that impressed me most was the loyalty that the old Peruvians have for their alma mater. t:hey are proud of their college and their education.

· This kind of pride helps Peru State College. What we

··do for our college after we leave it is just as important as what we do for it while we are here.

If we don't comeback; if we leave and continue to go forward without a backward glance at the place that gave us our start; we must not value the time, effort and money that it took to get us here. · · · ·

comments regarding Peru State College were based on hatred of women and my disdain to anyone not originally from the state of Nebrasi{a. I would like to assure you and your readers that neither of those situations are true. I can, however, appreciate the emotionalism that can rise when one hears disparaging remarks1 second or third hancf, about tne institution one is affiliated with. Sometimes it is preferable to check the information with the original source. In regards to out-of-state students, my impression was that in terms of credit hours taken at Peru State College, far too many of those hours were out-of-state students. The impression I intended to leave was

Open

that Nebraska could not be expected to subsidize an institution that serves, to a great extent, out-of-state students. That should be the responsibility of their respective states.

In reference to my other comments regarding housewives, in conversation with an individual affiliated with the college, I was told of a program to enlist housewives in the community in to taking a single class in order to keep the head coimt of Peru State College up. The purpose of this campaign, as I was told, was to justify the continued existence of the school. I have no problem and in fact I believe there is a legitimate purpose for those part-time students who have a

letter from

real desire or need to increas their education. However, don't believe the purpose o higher education is to justify th continued existence of an institution.

If a Superboard is approved by the voters, with limited budget constraints, it will revie various edu-cational deliver systems within its perimeters Bec·ause of its location an proximity to both UNL an UNO, PSC might not surviv that close scrutiny as a independent delivery system servmg a unique constituency.

In conclusion, I have not called for the closing of Peru State College, although I can not help believe that it could be a direct result of my Superboard proposal. There seems to be little tolerance for unjustified expenditure in educational delivery systems as was recently witnessed by the voters in Omaha and Nebraska City. Your prediction that Peru State CoUege will not Close is probably a very legitimate conclusion, however, I t1iink it is necessary for the taxpayers crnd the people of Nebraska to analyze and consider what .we get for what we pay 1 as that kmd of scrutiny is v1 ta! to our democratic system.

Sincerely,

ABATE

Senator Dave Newell

opposes Landis' helmet law

This is an official statement from A Brotherhood Against Totalitarian Enactments (ABATE) of Nebraska, Inc., in response to State Senator David Landis intention to introduce legislation requiring motorcycle and moped riders and passengers to wear approved safety helmets.

ABATE is opposed to a mandatory helmet law. We are not against helmet use-we just want the right to choose to wear one or not.

Sen. Landis says voluntary helmet use does not work. We suggest he find out why by wearing a full helmet for a day. I find when riding with one it gives me a false sense of security and seems like· I have blinders on.

Sen. Landis doesn't have his facts straight when he says that ABATE was active in the legislature when it dealt with the helmet issue a few years ago. ABATE of Nebraska was formed in February, 1977,. and shontly after that Sen. Ernie Chambers had the mandatory helmet law taken from the books. This is our first contact with such a law.

Sen. Landis mentions fierce resistence from a small group to a mandatory helmet law, and then states that there are almost 50,000 motorcycles registered in Nebraska-that's not a small group of the public. He is right to expect resistance, especially when personal freedom is involved.

Since:its founding, ABATE of

Nebraska has stressed motorcycle safety through public radio announcements and displays in shopping centers, and by offering a free-of-charge motor· cycle safety course. This is a 23-hour course set up with the ·help of the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. We feel that education is the solution that will curb the rising motorcycle accident rate. We have always said you cannot legislate safety, but you can legislate safety programs.

ABATE plans on introducing such a bill in the next legislative session and we hope there is an interested senator out there who really cares. A mandatory helmet law is a bureaucratic cop-out. Helmets will not stop a motorcycle accident, but educating the car driver and the motorcyclist will.

ABATE will meet with anyone concerning this issue with 24-hour notice. Call (402) 475-2429 or write P.O. Box 30332, Lincoln, NE. 68503.

Traffic group submits plan

The PSC traffic committee has recommended a new traffic policy 10 the College Affairs Council after complaints about reserved parking spaces and parking shortages around campus. Bill Reeves, superintendent buildings and g_rounds at Peru, and chairman of the traffic committee, said that the new traffic policy submitted to the College· 'Affairs Council is basically the same as the old policy, except that there will not

oe any personal parking spaces on campus. The council is expected to vote on the hew policy at their next meeting.

"The majority of complaints were on the personal parking spaces on campus," Reeves said. He feels that people who want personal parking spaces should be required to pay more for their space instead of the same amount as students.

Reeves said that the basic problem with the traffic policies of the college is that there is no

daytime security to enforce the regulations.

Reeves said that he's not very happy with the way the traffic situation is now but, he added, the traffic committee would be working on the problem over the summer and would hopefully come up with an answer.

Decision not made on house use

Extensive remodeling has been done to the brick house located south of the health center and the College Affairs Council must now decide what to do with it, according to PSC President Larry Tangeman.

The building, formerly the

residence of the Superintendent of buildings and grounds, has been vacant for many years. At the request of the previous superintendent, work was started to get it back into shape.

Casting is complete for the Peru Players' next production, "Seascape" by Edward Albee, according to Dr. Royal Eckert, director.

Albee's Pultizer Prize-winning play revolves around a couple contemplating retirement during a beach picnic who are confronted by two sea creatures who want to evolve and leave the ocean.

The "Seascape" cast includes Mary Ann Mellor, senior English major from Peru; Chuck Mittan, freshman drama major from Hastings; Steve Dunn, senior

Students will attend NSEA convention to be in Omaha

Several PSC students will be attending the Nebrask;i State Education Association (NSEAJ convention to be held in the Omaha Civic Auditorium on Oct. 25 and 26.

The convention· serves the southeastern area of Nebraska and the only cost to NSEA members will be their transportation and meals.

Workshops will be included in the convention, as well as guest speakers, booths displaying classroom supplies and teaching aids, and booths set up by schools presently hiring teachers, providing an opportunity for

graduating students to set up interviews.

"Normallv these sessions are full-day sessions, and I feel that they are very .beneficial to the student," said Dr. Paul Mars, PSC education instructor. "It gives those who participate a chance to meet instructors and lecturers in their field of study," he said.

EXecutive officers of the Peru NSEA chapter are Kim Berger, Mary Findeis, Susan Halvorsen and Lynn Anderson. For more information concerning the convention, contact Berger or Dr:Mars.

Tangemen said, "One idea was to get rid of it, but it is worth savings. It has a sound structure. We should reach a decision sometime this fall about what we are going to do with it. J'here is no big hurry because we don't know yet where the money will come from."

Ideas for using the building may be taken verbally or in writing to the CAC. Some ideas already discussed have been using it as an art gallery, museum, continuing education offices, faculty lounge and offices for College Relations and alumni affairs.

Live 'Cat mascot

It wasn't until Oct. 20..z. 1927 that PSC had a live Mbcai mascot, and the Pedagogian then bragged that Peru was the first schoOI in the conference to have a live mascot. The Bobcat was a gift of George Hansen class of 1912. The last living Bobcat mascot is now stuffed and on display in the trophy case downstairs in the Student Center.

Spikers on road

Before state tournaments, Hastings and Chadron State await tfie PSC Bobcat volleyball team today and tomorrow.

This afternoon the Cats travel to Hastings to meet the host college and Concordia in a triangular, with games scheduled at 1:30 and 2:30 p.m. The spikers then make a long road trip to Chadron State for a Saturday morning game against the Eagles and possibly another team.

Volleyball coach Maxine Mebus said both games are important to the Bobcats to better their season record and improve their standing going into the state tournaments.

Practice time for the spikers is limited, Mebus said, because of a continued schedule of away before the tournament.

'There are approximately nine practice sessions between now and tournament time. On an average, we will have four matches in less than 24 hours including Chadron and Hastin?,s," Mebus said.

'We try and prepare each match individualiy," she said, "but sometimes there doesn't seem to be time. So right now, we're taking each matcli one at a time and sfiooting for state."

Don Hill had 12 tackles to lead the Bobcats, followed by Steve Buss with 10 tackles and Garland Shafer and Glenn Hubbard with nine tackles each. Dean Pilipi had two quarterback sacks for losses of eight and 11 yards, and Steve Orton and Steve Buss both intercepted a pass for Peru.

The Cats racked up 188' total yards· with ten first downs compared to 218 total yards and 12 first downs for Yankton. The big difference in the game was a 45-yard punt return for a PSC touchdown by Roosevelt Brown and a 5- lyard kickoff return by Brown. Brown had another 52-yard kickoff return that was nullified by a Bobcat penalty.

Alvin Holder gained 84 yards and a one-yard touchdown on 17 carries .for Peru. Holder had 80 of his 84 yards in the first half.

Marvin McGill gained 82 yards on 11 carries for Peru.

Dan Todd added both extra points for the Cats. Peru's other score came on a 20-yard field goal by Kevin Niday. Peru led 7-0 at halftime but the Bobcats broke the game wide open with Brown's punt return. Peru will have a chance to win two homecoming games in a row as they travel to Chadron tomorrow for the Chadron State Eagle's homecoming.

Go Big Bru!

Roosevelt Brown remains third nationally in kickoff returns and Johnnie Stewart has the best passing average in Nebraska, according to last week's NAIA statistical report.

The two Peru State football stars join Terry Hinkle, punter, in last week's Distmt 11 <Nebraska colleges) football charts. Brown and Stewart are both juniors from Tampa, Fla., and Hinkle is a sophomore from Tecumseh.

Brown is averaging 34 .3 yards per kickoff return with 10 returns for 343 yards, third in the nation and second best average in District 11. He is tenth nationally in J.lunt returns with an average of 14.5 yards per runback, also the third higliest average in District 11. Stewart is averaging 195 yards per game passing, but that statistic is deceptive as he saw his first action at quarterback two weeks ago against Benedic-

tine. The converted flanker hit seven of 16 passes for two touchdowns and 195 yards in that contest.

Hinkle continues as the leading punter in District 11. He has punted 25 times for an average of 39.7 yards. His average is down from the 40.6 yard mark he was carrying against Benedictine.

Senior noseguard Vernon Gantt, Tampa, Fla., is tied for first place in quarterback sacks in District 11 with six. Garland Shafer sophomore monsterback from shuoert, is tied for first in the District with three fumble recoveries.

Alvin Holder, sophomore running back from Tampa, is the fourth-leading rusher in District 11 with 437 yards in five games. He is averaging 87.4 yards rushing per game. Holder is the sixth-leading pass receiver in the District with an average of 40.4 yards per game.

Gridders travel to CSC

Peru State College travels to Chadron State tomorrow to play the Eagles during their 1979 homecoming.

Chadron's record last week was 2-2-1, with wins over Hastings College (14-8) and Panhandle State (Okla.), 32-14. The Eagles lost to Fort Lewis, Colo., 24-0, and Kearney State, 30-0; they tied Dickenson State. Defense for the Eagles seems to be their strong point this season. Against Panhandle State 1 the defensive squad scorea two touchdowns and a safety. The offense is young with a speedy J .D. Hill at running back and a good new quarterback, Scott Wickard.

Last year the Cats tied Chadron State in the Oak Bowl, 21-21. The Eagles finished last season with a 7-2-2 record! including a Boot Hill Bow victory a1 Dodge City, Kans.

Second-year coach for Chadron, Jerry Welch1 will attempt to have his team fired up against the 4-2 Bobcats, who seem to have gotten their offense on track with Johnnie Stewart as the starting quarterback. Game-

"THE

hadron rep lost pants as Eagles lost to 'Cats

Chadron State's Scott Neilsen, student representative to the "board of trustees, lost his pants when the Eagles lost their homecoming game to the visiting PSC Bobcats, Oct. 20.

Representative Joe Primm attended the festivities at the in\ritation of the Chadron Student Senate He said the challenge between the two representatives provided that the loser would remove his pants on the 50-yard line after the football game.

Primm said he was glad the Bobcats r.ulled out the close 10-9 victory 'because it saved my

ugly legs from being exposed."

·Primm said that next year, "when Chadron invades Peru, there will be a representative here from CSC to try and reclaim the pants." But that will happen only if Chadron can defeat the 'Cats'.

Students perform at clinic, free concert.

by Kevin Casey

Peru State College will again play host to approximately 100 area high school musicians during the 35th annual High School Band Clinic on Nov. 8. The Clinic is intended to gear the students toward the concert band season after marching band is over.

The Clinic is again being headed by Dr. Gilbert E. Wilson, director of music activities at Peru State. Wilson has been in charge of the Clinic for the past twenty-two years. Guest Director of the Clinic will be Dr. Robert Creighton, conductor of the Shenandoah, Ia., high school band.

Wilson stated that the number 'Of students accepted for the clinic would be reduced this.year from 125 to 100 because the new curtains on the stage in the

auditorium hampered the size of the stage. He added that he usually sends out about 300 letters to prospective schools, who are urged to pick their better players as representatives. These students are given the opportunity of auditioning for a PSC Special Abilities Scholarship in Music while at the clinic.

Dr. Wilson also said that the musical selections had not as yet been picked, but that the students who attend do not see the music beforehand and must rely on their sight-reading skills.

Registration for the Clinic is at 9 a.m. Nov. 8, with rehearsals until noon and from 1-4:45 p.m. A public performance is set for 7 p.m. that evening.

Dr. Wilson said there would be interludes by the PSC brass ensemble and clarinet quartet on the program.

Chadron caught out-of-drawers

Joe Primm, PSC student representative to the Nebraska State Board of Trustees, bet his britches that Peru State would defeat the Chadron State football team on Oct. 20. Though the Bobcats didn't exactly beat the

pants off the Eagles, the 14-12 victory was enough to gain CSC student rep Scott Neilson's drawers. The Peru win spoiled the Eagle Homecoming, and marked Chadron's first loss at home since 1976.

Students in car crash, all okay

A car driven by a Peru State College faculty member with eight female students was involved in a single car accident

Oct. 23 at 7:15 a.m.

The car, driven by Dr. June Kreutzkampf, skidded on an icy

bridge over the Little Nemaha River on Highway 73-75, caught the guard rail and rolled over on its right side.

The nine persons were on their way to the Beatrice State Developmental Center when the accident occurred.

There were no serious injuries: three of the students were uninjured, three had minor bruises and were treated and released from the Nemaha County Hospital, one was released to a doctor in Humboldt for a facial cut, one had a concussion and was treated and released to her family, and one is remaining at the Nemaha County Hospital for further observation and x-rays because

,A crowd of over 500 people were on hand to celebrate the long-awaited opening of west Highway 67, which had been closed for construction for nearly two years. Participating in the ribbon-cutting ceremony were State Senator Nelson Merz; PSC President Larry Tangeman; Bob Stutzman of the State Department of Roads; and Cal Carstens, State Senator. A hog roast in the Oak Bowl followed the ribbon-cutting. The ceremony was jointly sponsored by the City of Peru and Peru State College.

of possible back injury.

The students are mterns at the Bea trice Center through a special education program offered at Peru State College. Twice a week, the students leave Peru at 7 a.m. to go to Beatrice to work with severe and profound mentally retarded persons.

The car is owned by the Beatrice Center. It suffered approximately $2,000 damage, according to the county sheriff's office. It normally has studded snow tires during the winter months but did not have them on at the time the accident occurred.

Follow 'Cats on radio

by Becki Young

I would like to suggest to a!I those Bobcats who have been unable to travel to our away football games and cheer the team on, that you. can still follow the Bobcats.

Every Saturday the Falls City radio station, KNCY, 12.30 on the AM dial, carries the game live from where ever we are playing. The announcers are usually Gary Isaacson, Sports Director for KNCY, and Randy Gottula, who do a really good job on the air. The show, "Peru State Football" beqins 15 minutes before kick-off.

ff you are like most people however, on Saturdays you have one ear glued to the Nebraska aame and the oflier ear, and both _eyes glued to the television watching another college game. Don't despair, you can stilrfind out how the 'Cats diet ·

How, you ask? By simply tuning to KNCY every Monday evening at 6:45 for the "Jerry Joy Show." The program, hosted by Isaacson, features insights by Coach Joy and post-game interviews with some of the players. -

I feel it' helps give us some prospective on ourselves as students at PSC when we hear our coaches and classmates talking about their success and failure, and also hearing what others have to say our team and school.

Listen in, I feel you'll be pleasantly surprised by what you hear. ·

Primm calls for student action

/ To the ·student body: This letter is late, but still needed. Homecoming as a whole was very successful. The dance was very successful, the game was great, and the movie was even a success. The only comment I would like to make is the conduct of a few students. I'll start with the movie I think if I recall correctly, I asked that if anyone had alcohol to please remove the empties after the show. Only when the time came for clean-up, there were bottles laying around and even a spilled one. I asked that nothing· be thrown at the screen or Did this stop people'?

As for clean-up, I would like to thank Tom Wooten, Teri Rhinehart and Tony Neblesick for helping clean up at 2:30 in the morning.

Good and bad: reaction to movie

by Mark McFadden

I've got some good (though late) news for you and some bad <though late) news for you.

"The Rocky Horror Picture Show" played here a few weeks ago. Itold you it was dated news. I feel that it's showing was important and should be discussed. Since I hate downer endings, I'll start bad stuff and then try to cheer you up.

BAD STUFF: Though I hate to use a negative word such as discipline in reference to an entertainment activity, I feel that the audience would best be described as undisciplined. Yes, the charm of the show was the audience and I certainly Joined m <I was the fellow in the front row in white-face and shades). But the squirt guns are for the rain sequence, and the rain sequence only: Most of the audience had been squirted by "enthusiastic" students before the cartoon had ended. The audience's replies to the dialogue should be in unison and should not drown out the dialogue·.

Pedple who attended it for the first time still don't know much of the story due to the ad-Jibbed bellows throughout the· show. Then there was a fight, and though it turned. out to be unconnected with the show, I remember fervently hoping the blood belonged to a squirt gun sniper.

GOOD STUFF: In spite of the above

The homecoming dance was better, only I learned that there was sloe gin spilled on the floor. I mean, honestly, we try and provide you students with some fun, the result. being crap like this happening. Did we get the slightest, "You guys did a great job?" No, all we got were gripes about the film.sound, the group was worthless, the parade was messed up Student Senate doesn't expect you to glorify us, just appreciate what we do and help make all events enjoyable to everyone by cooperating.

If you want to. do or see a better job being done, volunteer and help out. Let's see you, the students, do some of ttie work. With the limited number of peoele on Student Senate, we can t possibly get ·everything accomplished.

Sorry if I've sounded like a

bitch, but it's the only way to let you, the students, know what the situation .is.

Football-only a game?

by Debbie Moore

Football it's only a game, right? At least I've always prided myself on being able to keep a cool head in the midst of Big Red mania and Every Night Football that sweeps Nebraska each autumn. ·

But, I admit Bobcat football is another story. That's right-this mild-mannereo. reporter slips into a phone booth every Saturday and becomes Super Fan, a raving Peruvian known to attack opposing spectators during the games and perform dare-devil driving stunts trying to ge1 them on trme.

Maybe my undivided loyalty is inspired by knowing the team members as· people rather than just names and numbers on a roster. Or m?ybe it's the fact that-despite their six wins so far this season-the 'Cats have out-yarded only one of their defeated opi:>onents, and my heart always goes out .to the underdog. The real reason, though, is probably this: it's easy to follow a team that's fired up and ready to win.

Knowing you can win believing you're a better team than your opponent also puts you that much closer to a victory. Unfortunately, there's a very fine line drawn between self -confidence and over-confidence, and rating yourself too high is a good way to see those big ideas brought crashing to the ground.

The crowd proved that a significant number of students will attend functions that don't include sports or alcohol. Also, it proved that "odd" entertainment can be shown here without sending the students screaming into the night clutching crosses and wolfbane. As an experiment, I think it was at least a tentative success. Let's try more programs like this.

So, why no on about such a gloomy and obviously false notion as big-headed Bobcats?" Because, with tlie best season record Peru has seen since 1961, the recent defeat by the 'Cats of 16th-ranked Tabor, and the rumor of an invitation to a small college bowl game for Peru, it will be pretty easy to sit back and say, "Here we are at the top, let's 1ust krck back and relax for awhile." And that may be i!Jst the edge Doane needs to pull off a surprise victory over PSC in Crete

Predicting a loss for the Bobcats? You've got to be kidding! The Peru gridders will be geared up for Doane because they know they can't slack off now, and because pride in playing the best game possible will override any hint of ego inflation I hope. And we can always hope my lucky sweather has a little influence on the outcome of the game-it's been doing alright since our first home win against Chadron. ·

Anyway, good luck, and remember: "Make it worth the drive!"

To date, $3,000 has been raised. In January, Peru will ask the legislature for $300,000 for the leasing of Majors Hall. Dr. Tangeman stated that the $300,000 would only be a temporary loan until the college can raise the necessary funds.

Majors Hall would be leased at $2,000 per month for 20 years.

Tangeman said that the school has organized fund raisers in every city in Southeast Nebraska with the exception of Lincoln. "I reallr think we'll raise the money,' he said.

The hall is to lie tied to the new $2 million physical education center by a causeway and will house a health center as well as locker facilities and offices.

Bobcats trip Tabor

by Kent Propst

The Bobcats registered their biggest win of the season last Saturday with a 14-12 victory over Tabor (Kan.) College the 16th ranked team in NAIA's Division II. The Bobcats are idle until November 10 when they travel to Crete for the season finale against Doane College.

Tabor's dynamic passing team, led by standout quarterback Rod Wallace and wide receiver Kerry Dennison, pierced the Peru passing defense for 360 yards, but managed only one passing touchdown. The Peru passing defense had been fourth in the nation, allowing just over 70 yards per game.

The Bobcat offense did some fine work of its own, controlling the ball on the ground for 229 rushing ya_r,cls. Tabor's rushing defense had allowed previous opponents only 92 rushing yards per outing. Fullback Marv McGill had 114 yards including the winning touchdown on a 41-yard scamper. Running-back

Alvin Holder added 99 yards.

Tabor scored first when Wallace hit Dennison for a

78-yard touchdown midway through the second quarter. The extra point kick was wide, and it proved to be costly to the Bluejays.

Peru came back with a 10-yard scoring pass from quarterback Brad Kriefels to Roosevelt Brown just before the half. Kriefels was subbing for Johnnie Stewart, who proved unable to move the Bobcats. For Brown, one of the nation's top receivers over the past two seasons, it was hit first touchdown reception of the year.

The Bobcats scored next when McGill used several key blocks to scamper in from 41 yards out. Dan Todd added his second extra point of the night, and it proved to be. enough points for the victory. Todd is 10 of 11 on extra points this season. Tabor scored on a one-yard sneak by Wallace midway through the final period. That score was set up by two pass interference penalties on the Bobcats. The Bluejays went for the two point conversion and the pass was incomplete, but the Cats were whistled for another pass interference infraction to

From there the,,. Bobcats controlled the ball, driving to the Tabor 15 yard line before turning the ball over on downs with 1:30 remaining.

The volatile Tabor passing attack moved the ball quickly to the Peru 19 on several short passes. On third down from the 19 with less than 20 seconds to play, Peru defensive lineman Darrell Baker broke through to sack Wallace for a nine-yard loss and move the Jays back out of good field goal range. Kicker Jay Kroeker tried a 47-yard field goal with 18 seconds remaining but the kick was short and wide. Defensively, noseguard Vern Gantt had six tackles including three quarterback sacks, and he recovered one fumble. Linebacker Don Hill played another fine game, notching nine tackles and two fumble recoveries. Baker had two quarterback sacks on the night.

Spikers down Broncos, Bulldogs; lose ·to Eagles

On October 19-20, the Peru Bobcat volleyball team traveled to Chadron State and a Hastings's triangufar.

The trip to Hastings proved victorious for the team as they defeated Hastings 15-8, 15-7 and

In the Concordia game at Hastings the first set saw Julie Brinkman, Renee Mammen and Laura Pollman all contribute five points. Ronda Schroder put out five good spikes with six good sets from Diana Stanely.

Squires: Bigger and better year for 'Cats

by Dale Thomas

The Peru State men's basketball team will open their season Nov. 15 against host team Marymount College in the annual Marymouiit Tournament. With that game, Coach Bill Squires hopes to embark on what he says will be a "bigger and better year for the Bobcat basketball team."

Squires will build this year's team around a nucleus of five lettermen from last year's squad. Those five include John Donahue and Bernie Hajny, seniors from Hastings, and sophomores Keith McKim of Humboldt, Jeff Smith of Lincoln and Dave Uldrich of Miliigan. Other players who are counted on to be important on the front line this season are 6-9 freshman Kip Allison from Stromsburg and 6-7 Matt Stough, a frosh from North Platte. Also Brent

Nanninga, Phil Bailey and Mark Tillman are hopefuls to strengthen the Cats rebounding corps. In the backcourt, Don Gramke, Rocky Herr, Larry Knaak and Don Kotinik will give added depth. This depth will be even greater in the second semester, when Jerry Henry and Steve Vossen will become eligible to play. Vossen, who Squires says may be "one of the best shooters in the state,'' is a sophomore transfer from Montana.

Squires says Peru will be better this year because they will have more depth at the guard and forward spots and they will have better rebounding, which was a key factor which Peru consistently lacked last year.

Squires will be assisted by senior Scott Schaefer this year and Rick Hiatt will be statistician for the team.

Joy's squad: Most wins since 1961

Peru State's victory over Tabor College was more than the biggest win for the Bobcats this season. The 14-12 decision over 16th-rated Tabor gave Peru six victories on the year, the most wins in one season since the 1961 Bobcat team.

Jerry Joy's Bobcats have garnered their second consecutive winning. season, something

that has not happened since '61-'62 under coach Jack Mcintire. Mcintire's teams were 7-1-1 in 1961, 5-2-2 in 1962.

The Bobcat victory over Tabor raises the possibility of postseason play. Though the Bobcat hopes for a spot in the national playoffs are almost non-existent! a bowl bid is a very .rea possibility.

A 15-12 win for Peru was the outcome of the second set. Mammen led the scoring with seven points. Renee Mammen also led the team in good sets with ten assists. Schroder contributed six good spikes followed by Pollman with five.

The Bobcats came out ahead of Hastings in the first set 15-8. Mammen, Brinkman, Pollman, and Renee Cheney were the leading scorers. each contributing three points.

Eight good spikes were executed by Brinkman with ten good assists by Cheney and nine by Mammen in the first set against Hastings:

Second set act10n saw Mamemn again lead in scoring with four points, closely followed by Schroder, Brinkman, and Cheney with three points each. Four good spikes were executed by Cheney and Karen Mostrom.

After the Hastings triangular the team then traveled to Chadron State where they met defeat. The Chadron Eagles dominated the first three sets of a five set game, 15-9, 15-5 and 15-13.

In the first set, Mostrom led in scoring with three points, followed by Mammen and Brinkman with two. Pollman put out seven good spikes and Cheney four.

A 5-15 score proved a loss for Peru in the second set. Jodi Singleton contributed two points to the score, followed by Brinkman and Cheney with one point each:

The third set saw a little more action from Peru despite tlfe 13-15 loss. Cheney was the leading scorer with seven points. Singleton, Schroder, and Brinkman all contributed four good spikes.

The volleyball teams next goal will be the State AIA W tournament this Saturday at Nebraska Wesleyan in Lincoln.

Bobcats

squeeze past Chadron Eagles, 10-9

The Peru State Bobcats made the 500-mile trip to rival Chadron State a happy one two weeks ago with a heart-stopping 10-9 victory over the Eagles.

Bobcat defenders Don Hill and Mike Harley partially blocked Eagle kicker Dennis Breinig's 27-yard field goal attempt with 18 seconds remaining to preserve the Bobcat win. The victory assured 5-2 Peru of its second consecutive winning season.

The victory was Peru's first at Chadron since 1965. It spoiled the Eagle Homecoming and was Peru's third "homecoming" win in as many weeks.

It was a day for the defenses under a cloudy sky at Chadron.

Peru linebacker Steve Buss, Adams senior, scored the game's only touchdown on a 27-yard interception return late in the first half. Dan Todd, senior kicker from Murray, added the extra point.

Todd provided the margin of victory with a 20-yard field goal midway through the final period that gave Peru a temporary 10-3 lead.

Linebacker Hiii was the defensive standout. He registered a team-high 13 tackles; forced one Chadron fumble and had one quarterback sack in addition to the blocked field goal.

Glenn Hubbard; junior defensive end, had his best game of the season with seven tackles, a fumble- recovery and two blocked passes. Buss notched nine tackles in another fine effort.

Standout running back Alvin Holder, Tampa, Fla., sophomore, appeared recovered from the nagging injuries that had bothered him since early in the seasop. Holder gained 108 yards on 24 carries against the Eagles to give him 634 yards for the year.

The Bobcat pass defense, ranked tenth in the NAIA before the Chadron contest, lived up to the bill against the pass-oriented Eagle attack. Chadron was limited to four completions in 17

Students earn cre·dit for state board iob

Peru State College students interested in earning college credit outside the classroom setting may be interested in applying for internships with the Nebraska State College Board of Trustees in Lincoln.

Students with any background or field of interest may gain experience and on-the-job training with an internship, especially those students with a major in political science, communications and accounting or business.

Interns work with Dr. Rich Bringelson, executive officer of the board, in designing programs and projects tailored to the individual's interests and needs.

The amount and type of college credit an intern receives must be arranged by the student through the college and the division the credit is being taken under. Most interns receive between 12-14 hours of credit for a semester or s1.1mmer term. Each intern also receives a salary of $1,250 for the intership.

Interships are one way students can gain actual working experience in their field of interest and get credit for it.

As one forn1er intern said, "With the exception of education majors who student teach, not many other students get any experience working in their major area of study before graduation: The Board internship provides the chance, along with the opportunity to discover your particular interest within your major."

Interested students should contact Dr. Clyde Barrett in the Administration Building.

Pittsburg State's Gorillas are 6-3 so far this year and are tied for first place in the Central Conference with Kearney State College. Pittsburg, like Kearney, is a Division I school in the NAIA. Peru State is in the NAIA's Division II, and boasts a 7-2 season record.

Boot Hill Bowl officials flew into Falls City early Tuesday morning, where they met Coach Joy and Peru President Larry Tangeman for the singing of the bowl bid contract.

Pittsburg State will end their regular season play tomorrow, when they play Emporia College in Kansas. The Bobcats travel to Crete tomorrow to conclude their regularly scheduled season against Doane College at 2 p.m. The Doane Tigers will be out to avenge their humiliating loss to the Ca ts last year, 45-6.

Students to get more schoof aid

where we want to be, as long as we can hang on to it," Joy said. The Bobcats must travel to Crete tomorrow to face a vengeful Doane College, defeated by Peru last year. Midland Lutheran College, one of the two teams to defeat Peru this season, went on to secure the number three spot nationally in the NAIA final rankings. Editor's note: This story updates the story on page 4, which indicates that Peru was ranked 18th in the NAIA report last week.

Miller said the Middle Income Assistance Act of 1977 changed the formula used to determine students' eligibility for the BEOG program. "As a result of this, there are students enrolled now-particularly juniors and seniors-who may be eligible to receive a BEOG but haven't applied because they didn't qualify for the program in past years," Miller said.

"To demonstrate the change made by the Middle Income Assistance Act," Miller said, "a dependent student from a family of four-with one member of the

Prior to the 1977 legislation, Miller said, a student from the same type of family would not have qualified for a BEOG if the total family income exceeded $15,000. "In addition, the act also changed the formula which determines grant eligibility for self-supporting students," Miller said.

Miller said of the 400 students currently enrolled at PSC who have applied for the BEOG · program, 342 have qualified. He also encouraged any students who may be subject to the change to contact him in the Administration Building.

How do you survive a thousand-mile road tr'ip? Well, to any of you planning on attending the Boot Hill Bowl in Dodge it helps if you out the trip just a little bit crazy-it makes your trans1t1on to totally bizaare at the· end of the trip a little less obvious.

It's also a good idea to take a cooler filled with munchies and your favorite beverage .for some reason, people who aren't hungry when you stop for lunch start chewing ?n the upholstery in your car half-an-hour later. As for drinks, canned pop on the road is pretty expensive (the gas stations must think it would look funny to sell gas at such inflated prices and leave the pop at 35 cents) and-if you're between 18 and 20-al I you can buy with a little ,kick to it is 3.2 beer.

Games like magnetic chess and backgammon boards are nice to entertain fidgety travellers, but it's better to leave them at home if anybody riding with you is a poor loser. Bo?ks and magazines come in handy, too, but don't bother with homework or heavy reading like "War and Peace"-my experience has been that road-weary prefer "Rolling Stone," or Sesame Street. (Yes, V1rgm1a, they have a magazine now, too.)

Other "nice-to-have's" but not essential: a security toy or blanket for the poor kid who can't sleep well in a strange bed in a motel; extra towels (if it's a cheap motel) or a swimming suit (if. it's expensive); plenty of deodorant, since very few of us can afford to drive a big, roomy car anymore; stamps, in case you want to send a postcard to your mother or your boyfriend-girlfriend; and anything else you.'11 need to make the trip nicer.

As for me I think this time l'fl fly.

Bend-but-don't-break defense

Though the Peru State Bobcats have outscored six of eight football opponents enroute to a 6-2 record, the Bobcat defense has made this excellent record possible. The Bobcats will end the 1979 regular season against Doane College at Crete this Saturday. Kickoff is 2:00 p.m.

Peru's highly-touted offense has sputtered all season, unable to score more than 17"points in any game. the ''bend but don't break" defense, under defensive coordinator, Terry Gilliland, has held opponents to only 9.3 points per .game. The defense has spent more than its

share of time on the field, due partially to their opponents' fine ·offenses and partially to 32 turnovers by the Bobcat offense.

Spearheading the defense is junior linebacker Donald Hill, a converted offensive guard. Hill, 5'1.0 and 215, is from Tampa, Florida. He leads the Bobcats in tackles with 89, unassisted tackles with 55, has recovered four fumbles, intercepted ·one pass, sacked the quarterback three times and blocked one field goal.

Behind Hill in tackles is senior noseguard Vern Gantt, 5'10, 190 from Tampa. Gantt has 76 total tackles. He leads the Bobcats in

Senior linebacker Steve Buss, a converted tight end, has improved tremendously and has earned a starting role. The 6'2, 190 native of Adams has 52 tackles on the year and has picked off two passes. He returned one of those interceptions for the game-winning touchdown against Chadron State.

Other defensive standouts for the Cats include junior tackle Mike Harley, Tampa, Florida; Glenn Hubbard, junior defensive end from Omaha; Steve Orton, junior safety from Nebraska City; Jon Orton, senior linebacker from Nebraska City who is finally regaining his health after a mid-season injury, and Curtis Pruitt, sophomore defensive back from Omaha.

Primm reports on PSC student budget

·Student Senate President Joe Primm announced at last Tuesday's Student Senate meeting that Programs spending for the first nine weeks of the 1979-1980 school year totalled just under $4 ,000.

Primm said that approximately $3,000 of the $16,072 budgeted for the year was spent in September, the biggest expenses 'being the Jerry Teplitz show, which cost around $1,000, and the group "Cricket," costing between $900 and $1,000.

Though the reports aren't in yet, Primm said that October's expenses were held to around $1,000.

At the end of the semester, Primm said he expects expenses to total somewnere between $6,000-6,500, or approximately $1,500 below budget, leaving a "fairly substantial amount of moriey" for the spring semester. "We hope" he said, "to put on a much better Spring Week than last year." The possibility of a jazz concert was mentioned by Tina Gault, Vice Chairman of the Senate's Special Events Committee.

In other business, Primm said

that the positions will be filled at the Senate's next meeting. The six applicants had not yet submitted release forms for their transcripts so it ·wasn't possible to know whether or not they qualified for the positions.

Brown leads 'Cats

by Kent Propst

Peru State's Roosevelt Brown was the second-leading kickoff return artist in the nation, according to last week's statistical report released by the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics <NAIAJ. Brown, a 5'10, 170-pound wide receiver from Tampa, Florida, is averaging 31.l yards per return for the Bobcats this season, one-tenth of a yard behind Perry Thomas of Southern Arkansas. Brown moved up to 14th in punt returns with a 12.9-yard return average.

The fleet Brown also caught his first touchdown pass of the season against Tabor (Kansas) College, Oct. 27. Brown is Peru's leading scorer with 24 points.

Bobcat Johnnie Stewart, Tampa, who was moved from flanker back to quarterback midway through the season, will probably return to flanker this weekend. Brad Kreifels, freshman from Syracuse, is expected

to become the fourth starting quarterback of the season for Jerry Joy's team. Stewart is averaging 56.8 passing yards per game. · Terry Hinkle, sophomore punter from Tecumseh, led punters in NAIA's District • with an average of 40.9 yards per boot. Hinkle's _punting is a big reason for the Bobcats' 6-2 record.

Four Bobcat defenders ranked high in district statistics also.

Defensive end Glenn Hubbard, Omaha junior, and Don Hill, linebacker from Tampa, tied for first in fumble recoveries with four each. Garland Shafer, monster back from Shubert, tied for second with three fumble recoveries.

Noseguard Vernon Gantt, senior from Tampa, was second in the district in quarterback sacks with 10. In addition, the Bobcat scoring defense was tops in the district, allowing only 9.3 points per game.

Spikers lose in tourney

The Bobcat volleyball team did not place in the NAIAW State Volleyball Tournament held last weekend, Nov. 2-4 in Lincoln at Nebraska Wesleyan University.

On the basis of the Bobkittens 13-6 record, they were seeded third in the tournament in Division II, behind Kearney and UNO.

The Bobcats played th,ree teams, Hastings, UNO, and St. Marys, in the pool play Friday. Their only victory came against

St. Marys in the second set, 15-2. The leading scorers in that set were Diana Stanley, Jodi Singleton and Renee Mammen, all with three points. Julie Brinkman, Ronda Schroeder and Karen Mostrom each scored two points.

· The Cats were plagued with injuries and illness. Laura Pollman, a starter, suffered from torn ligaments and did not play in the tournament. Ronda Schroeder saw limited action. Two others were sick with the flu.

"It was a disappointing weekend, with so many injured or sick," said Coach Maxine Mebus. "We worked hard all year and were seeded where we wanted to be, but, it's tough to try your best when you aren't feeling up to it." -

One of the co-<:aptains, Renee Mammen, the only senior on the team, played her last game for the Bobcats last weekend. "She performed quite well," said Coach Mebus.

The playoffs were held Saturday for first through fourth place in the tournament, with Kearney and UNO, the two top teams advancing to the regionals. They will be held at Central Missouri State University at Warrensburg, Missouri, Nov. 15-17.

Peru will tangle with Tigers tomorrow at Doane in Crete

by Dave Thomas

Peru State's Bobcats have a chance to finish the regular football season with a 7-2 record as they travel to Doane College this Saturday in Crete. A victory would give Peru its best sea'son in almost two decades. Peru went 7-2-1 in 1961 under Coach Jack Mcintire. Since then Peru has had only average seasons, but last year the tide started to turn and Coach Jerry Joy predicted that this years' Bobcat squad would

be the best he has ever coached.

There has been trouble this year securing a good, positive quarterback, but it looks as though the Cats now have the ability to move the ball offensively. Peru's defense has been outstanding all season and the Bobcat coaches are hoping the defense won't let them down against Doane.

Last year Peru swamped Doane 45-6 in the last home game of the season. A victory this year would give the

Bobcats, who knocked off 16th-rated Tabor two weeks ago, a better record going into the Boot Hill Bowl, Nov. 17, in Dodge City, Kc:n., against the Pittsburg <Kan. l State Gorillas. Outdoor practices have been slowed recently because of bad weather, but the attitude and· spirit of the Bobcats is excellent. Alvin Holder, a leading rusher for Peru this year, has been out of practices this week with a pulled hamstring, but hopefully will play against Doane. ·

'Cats rate 18th ·in nation

·

Peru State's 6-2 Bobcat football team was rated 18th in the nation according. to last week's NAIA Division II rankings. It is the first time Peru has been ranked among the nation's top 20 small colleges teams in "probably quite awhile," according to Kent Propst, sports information director at Peru.

The scrappy Bobcats have managed to come out on top of 75-per cent of their games this season despite a number of close games. Six of the eight games have been decided by a touchdown or less.

The Bobcats were idle last weekend. Tomorrow, they finish the regular season at Crete against a very tough Doane College football team. The Doane Tigers have been on the losing end of some very close contests, and will be looking to avenge last year's 45-6 setback to the Bobcats.

"We have by far the toughest draw playing Marymount," commented Squires. "They've never lost this tournament. Last year Marymount was one of the top-rated teams and beat us by 42 points."

"One of the reasons why we're. in this tournament is that we're a young ball club and this will give us an indication of where we are said $quires.

Bernie Hajny is one of the returning players forming the nucleus of Coach Squires' young basketball squad this season. Keith McKim <behind Hajny) is another returner for the Bobcats. The basketball team will open the season against Marymount <Salina, Kan.) College, Nov. 15, during the annual Marymount Tournament.

HAVE ASAFE TRIP HOME!

BY- lines

by Becki Young

Change5 affecting the length of time students have to withdraw from classes are curr.ently being discussed by the College Affairs. Council. The proposed changes would move forward the deadline for official withdrawal from classes.

The PSC catalog now reads that a student has until "prior to the last two weeks of the term " for withdrawal; this will be changed to read "prior to the last four weeks of the term ," if ·a proposal before the Council is approved. They have not as yet taken any definite action.

As a student affected by these types of decisions, I hope that our student representatives to the CAC take this proposal back to the Student Senate for discussion, so that the opinions of more than iust a few students can be heard before any final action is taken.

Normally I .would not question the workings of policy changes, but this policy affects the crucial area of grades and grade point averages. And, as we all know, a great deal of emphasis is placed on keeping up the old GPA. Therefore, if a few weeks more makes the difference between withdrawing. or failing, I would like to think that Peru plans to give its students every possibility to succeed.

Also, don't forget to participate in the cafeteria balloting to take place Monday, Nov. 26, regarding serving times for Sunday meals. Switching from a breakfast and brunch schedule to brunch and dinner sounds like a good idea to me-then everyone in Peru wi II have. a place to eat on Sunday nights.

By now everyone should know whether or not they're going to the Boot Hit I Bowl, or staying home to catch it on the radio. Here's hoping that everyone going has a safe trip down and home aga1h, and that the Bobcats can bring home Boot Hill or whatever it is they get for winning!

Go ... Big Blue!

Beginning Monday, Nov. students will be asked to vote

"Seascapes" make-up technician Mark McFadden found his job creating faces for the two sea creatures, in the play more difficult when director Royal Eckert (left) established only one ground rule for McFadden to follow: "Sarah" (Mimi Cowles) and "Leslie" (Steve Dunn) had to be capable of a full range of facial expressions to portray the intelligence of the lizard-like pair.

"This eliminated the possibility of using masks or Hollywood-type prosthesis for the creature's faces. The alternative is to actually change the faces through lines and shadowing with make-up," McFadden said. ·

Smart lizards need special make-up for natural look

The Peru Players' current production, "Seascapes" by Edward Albbe, requires a "beauty and the beast"-or rather, a "beauty into beast"-transformation for two of the four characters. You see, Sarah (Mini Cowles) and Leslie (Steve Dunn) are lizards. !ntelligent lizards yes, but lizards nonetheless.

The final step involves drawing lines on Cowles' face to add the reptilian characteristics-new nostrils are drawn on the "snout," white is added around the eyes to draw them towards the sides of the head, and scales are drawn with converging or expanding lines to add perspective.

Basic highlighting is used to change the shape of Cowles' face, so that on-stage the lighter coloring will tend to make.her nose disappear and bring her mouth forward into a snout. Shadowing is used to create an Dr. Royal Eckert, director of the play, wanted Cowles and Dunn to portray the intellience of the lizards through the use of a full range of facial expressions. This eliminated the use of masks or "Hollywood" type prosthesis (as in "Planet of the Apes") to create the lizards' faces. The alternative for "Seascapes" was to change the faces with lines and shadowing.

'Cats must stop high-gear offense

by Kent Propst

The Peru State Bobcats will have to stop the highpowered offensive attack of the Pittsburg (Kan.) State Gorillas in order to cop a victory in Saturday's Boot Hill Bowl.

The Gorillas, who tied w.ith Kearney State tor the Central State Intercollegiate Conference crown, are 7-3, compared to Peru's 6-3 mark. The Gorillas boast several individual standouts.

Running back Richard Overton has netted 1, 160 yards on the season on 228 carries. Overton is averaging 116 yards per game and 5.1 yards per carry. His 20 rushing touchdowns are more than the entire Peru team has netted.

Quarterback Mark Hittner is another Gorilla standout. He has completed 90 of 210 passes with only six interceptions. Hittner has passed for 1,403 yards and seven touchdowns on the season.

Hittner's favorite target is Wilton Jones, who has caught 30 passes for 367 yards but has yet to catch a scoring pass. Receiver Galen Lewis is Hittner's "big play" target, with 305 yards on 12 catches and four touchdowns.

Team-wise the Gorillas are impressive, too, averaging 374.1 yards per game. They have gained 3,741 total yards, including.2,283 rushing and 1,458 passing. Pittsburg State is allowing opponents 292.6 yards per game, having given up 1,336 rushing yards and 1,590 passing for 2,926 yards.

Peru State has gained 1,931 total yards on 1,314 rushing and 617 passing yards, for an average of 214.6 yards per game. The Bobcat defense has given up 1,615 rushing yards and 945 passing yards for a total 2,560 yards and an average of 284.4 yards per game.

The Bobcats will travel to Dodge City, Kan., tomorrow to meet the Gorillas in the annual Boot Hill Bowl at 2 p.m.

Kreifels looks ready at QB slot

Jerry Joy's latest Bobcat quarterback, freshman Brad Kreifels, secured Peru's highest per-game passing yardage so far this season against Doane last week, with 232 yards on the game. Kreifels' strong arm added respectability to the Bobcat offense, which was limited to a one-yard rushing game by a tough Tiger defense.

Tigers upset Peru State before ·soot Hill contest

by Darrell Wellman

Peru State's Bobcats will be taking a 6-3 record with them into The Boot Hill Bowl this weeken<!. after being upset by Doane college last Saturday, 27-20.

Although the Bobcats scored the mosf points they have all season (20), they still fell short of the three-touchdown lead the Tigers gained over them in the third quarter.

Peru's offense did have its bright moments, however, and should be in top form when the 'Cats take on the Pittsburg <Kan.) State Gorillas tomorrow.

Alvin Holder, unable to compete in the Doane contest, should be ready to play and Brad Kreifels, in his first starting game for the Bobcats last week passed for 232 yards against the Tigers.

The devastafing third period saw Doane roll fo three quick touchdowns, first on another three-yard run by Hoggins.

Brown caught his second touchdown pass of the day from Kreifels with just 3: 12 left to play in the game, but Todd's point.-after attempt failed and the Tigers continued to lead, 27-20. The Peru squad saw their last shot at a victory fall short when a desparation pass from Kreifels to Johnnie Stewart was ruled incomplete, much to the dismay of Bobcat fans who believed pass interference should have been called against the Tigers. Doane held on fo win the contest, 2(-20.

"Although we are a short team, we've got a good chance to work together for a good season, and I don't think height will be a barrier for us."

Following the tournament, the Bobcats are scheduled to play Doane, Nov. 28, at P.eru.

A victory in the bowr game tomorrow would give the Bobcats a 7-3 season record and their second winning season in as many years. Last year the 'Cats were 5-3-2 under Head Coach Jerry Joy.

Doane scored first on a three-yard run by Tiger standout Kendall Hoggins with 12 minutes left in the second quarter. Partridge added the PAT and the Tigers led, 7-0. Peru came back later in the same quarter and tied the score with a

Tourney opens season for men's basketball

bySheilla Dea

Head Coach Bill Squires' young basketball team travelled to Salina, Kan., yesterday to participate in the annual Marymount Tournament. Finals of the double elimination tourney will be held tomorrow. Next week, Squires said, the Bobcats will meet Concordia at Seward, Nov. 20, and then travel to Crete for the Doane Tournament, Nov. 23-24. Peru will make their first home appearance Nov. 27, against Wayne State, at 7:30 p.m. in the College Gymnasium.

Last year the Bobcats defeated Concordia at home and away by 20 points. "This year Concordia will be under a new coach, but we don't know that much about their personnel. And we have a new ball club this year, with only five returning plaY.ers from last year," saia Sqmres.

Four teams will be represen- ted at the Doane tourney including Peru, Doane and Midland College. The fourth

team had not been announced at press-time.

The Bobcats lost two games last year at the tournament-to Midland in overtime, 75·76, and to Doane, 58·72.

"Our major emphasis will be on the Wayne State game. Wayne State is in our conference, and conference games help to decide the results for district plav-offs," Squires said.

Wayne State defeated Peru by five or six points in their games last year. Consequently, this early season game will be an important one for the Bobcats.

Another game that :vill receive special cons1derat10n, Squires said, will be the Kearney State game Dec. 19. Kearney has been ranked !9th in the nation and the contest with the Antelopes will also be a conference game.

With five returning players, four transfers and eight fresh· men the Peru basketball team will be learning to operate as a team during the early part of the season, Squires said.

Crume to lead women in basketball this year

Leading the new faces on this year's women's basketball team will be Head Coach Marta Crume. This will be Crume's first head coaching position. Assistant coach this year is senior Debbie Craig of Jamestown, N.Y.

Other new faces on the team will include juniors Renee Cheney, Palmyra transfer from UNL, and Jackie Halterman, transfer from Southeast Community College; sophomore Fran Calanni of Jamestown, N.Y.; and freshmen Joyce Myers of Auburn, Brenda Wilkinson of Burchard, and Rhonda Schroeder of Liberty.

The Bobcat squad will also boast six returning letterwomen: Kim Grinstead and Jackie Nixon, sophomores from La Vista; Karen Lechner, senior from Syracuse; Carol Waldman and Patty Lewis, sophomores from Grand Island, and Julie Brinkman, junior from Palmyra.

"Our season officially started as of Sunday, Oct. 28, but quite a few of the girls were involved in the volleyball tournament who are also out for basketball. So it's hard for me to predict anything about the players," said Crume.

Freshman Flagler steps in for injured Holder

Keith Flagler, PSC freshman, averaged 3.1 who has been bothered with injuries all season and yards per carry from his starting running back was unable to play at Crete.

Registrar's Office. If the student does not have official approval for withdrawal, he or she will be given the grade "F."

A proposal has been tabled in the College Affairs Council which would change this class withdrawal policy.

According to council member Dr. Esther Divney, the proposal would change the withdrawal period from two weeks to four

weeks1before the semester ends.

Before a final decision will be made by the council, however, the Student Senate has been asked to discuss the policy change ·and then report to College Affairs on how students view the change. ·

Even if a decision to change the class withdrawal policy 1s reached, it will not go into effect until Spring, 1980, Liewer said.

The use of the boar's head at Christmas is based not only on its value as an article of food but its symbolism as.well. The board because he roots into the groun with his tusksh has long been revered as aving taught mankind the art of pfowing.

Now is the .time to pull in the waistline and grind out the homework. No fonger can we say, "I'll do it later this semester." "Later" is now!

Remember, for those of you for whom there is no ho,1>e, you have until Dec. 7 to withdraw from classes.

Being a senior this year, I find it hard to ·believe that after three-and-one-half years at Peru, it's beginning to feel like horn e. Of course, that also means I can't wait to· leave it.

It seems like after my sophomore year the time flew bX so fast that all the "worthwhile ' things I wanted to do didn't get done. ·

Soon it'll be life in the real world, though. No more skipping classes with a hang-over. No more excused absences for a music or drama tour. No more awayInstead,games. it's eight-to-five every day, five days a week-if we're lucky. · But then, of course, we'll be rich, right? Making good money based loosely on the fact that we have a piece of paper. says we stuck to somethmg long enough to deserve good money.

We then spend the next IO vears paying off our student loans. Oh, well the beat goes on. of leaving Peru, don t leave without checking out "The Messiah" performance and also the "Boar's Head Feaste" this Sunday.

· Men's and women's basketball begins at home this week; as press-time fell before both games I can only say, "If you missed them before, don't miss them again." The men play Dana College here tonight.

Although I miss Danny Shouse's smiling face, along with other graduated seniors, the team is still great to watch and always gives their opponent a hard time despite problems which will disappear with experience.

No Bobcats on all-stars team

by Debbie Moore

Despite a winning 6-4 season record, the Peru Sfate Bobcats failed to place a man on the NA:IA District 11 All-Star football team this year. Players on the all-star team were chosen by the District 2 coaches.

Eleven of Head Coach Jerry Joy's Bobcats were named to the District 2 Honorable Mention team: wide receiver Roosevelt Brown of Tampa, Fla. 6 · center Steve Vaughn of maha; running bad:s Alvin Holder of Tampa, Fla., and Marvin McGill of Brandon, Fla.: punter Terry Hinkle of Tecumseh; defensive lineman Vernon Gantt of Tampa, Fla.: linebackers Steve Buss of Adams, Jon Orton of Nebraska City and Don Hill of Tampa, Fla.; and defensive backs Garland Shafer of Shubert and Steve Orton of Nebraska City.

Wide receiver Brown, a 5-10, 170 lb. junior, was Peru's leading receiver this year, catching 22 passes for 297 yards and tliree touchdowns. He averaged 27.9 yards per kickoff return for a total of 586 yards on the season and accumulated 292 punt return yards for an average of 11.2 yards per return. Brown also was the Bobcat's leading scorer with 36 points.

Vaughn leading the offensive line from his starfing position at center, ()layed his first season with the Bobcats this year after transferring to Peru. Vaughn is a 6-5, 250 Ill. sophomore.

Sophomore co-Captain Holder had the second-best single season rushing yardage ever at peru this season with 866 yards m 9 games. He already holds the all-time record in that category with 1,145 yards for the 1978 season. Holder, a 5-9; 180 lb. running back, also was the second-leading Bobcat .receiver being plagued by m3unes all season. He caught 13 passes for 241 Jards and two touchdowns, an averaged 96.2 rushing yards per game.

McG111, a 5-9, 185 lb. junior fullback, gained 493 rushing yards for the 'Cats on 134 carries this season, His ··excellent blocking also contributed to the 866 yards gained by Holder.

Punter Hinkle, a 6-0, 180 lb. sophomore, Jed District 11 punters earlier this year but high winds during Peru's last two bouts broughf his average down to 38 yarcfs per kick of 59 kicks for the season.

Gantt, a 6-1, 205 lb. senior, led Peru's defensive linemen this year with 92 tackles. He also was among the tops in the district in quarterback sacks with 10, and lie recovered two fumbles during the season.

Senior Buss has played at a number of different positions on Joy's squad before finally into his starting linebacker s slot this season. The 6-2, 190 lb. gridder netted 61 tackles and two interceptions for one touchdown. this season. Hill,,, a 5-9, 210 lb. junior, Jed the 'cats in tackles this year with 112. He was also responsible for one blocked field goal, one

interception, five fumble recoveries and three quarterback sacks, desP.ite a season-long injury. Hill is a convertea offensive lineman.

Monsterback Shafer, a 6-3, 200 lb. sophomore, came back after sitting out the 1978 season to become the Bobcat's third-leading tackler this year with 73 stops, three fumb1e recoveries and two interceptions. Shafer is a converted wide receiver who holds the Peru record for the longest touchdown pass recep- tion, established in 1977.

Brothers Jon and Steve Orton were also defensive leaders for the Bobcats this season. Jon, a 6-0, 195 lb. senior, was Peru's leading tackler last year. He was slowed by an injury this season but sti!I managed to net 59 tackles and one mterception.

Steve, a 6-2, 190 lb. junior, accumulated 57 tackles, two interceptions and one fumble recovery, and "is probably the most improved player this year," said Joy.

"Who's Who" is a definite boost for the student's resume and an honor that-lasts a lifetime.

Students are nominated to "Who's Who" annually by the PSC Student ·Affairs ·Commission, headed by Apilado. All students meeting the grade point average requirement are asked to complete applications and submit them to the commission which then evaluates them and selects the nominees.

The commission responsible for nominating students to "Who's Who" is composed of PSC faculty, staff and student representatives. They are Apilado, business instructor Russell Beldin,jirector of residence life Dave music instructor Dave Edris, student Jeff Frields, student Tina Gault psychology instructor Richard Gulizia, athletic director Jerry Joy, math and science instructor Daryl Long< ;Jirector of financial aids Don lVliller, chairman of natural sciences Dave Pippert, industrial arts instructor Robert Pettit and student Renee Wright.

There has been recent discussion concerning whether or not continued participation in the "Who's Who" program is justified, but it appears thatthis year, at least-Peru will continue to take part in that program.

by Becki Young

Radio KPSC, 6.20 on the AM dial, started broadcasting again Monday with 15 disc jockeys, accordmg to Dr. Royal Eckert, advisor for the radio station.

Newly located in Room 103, Education Building, the college radio show can usually be heard in Delzell and Morgan Halls and the Fine Arts Building, Eckert said. Others in the local area may pick up KPSC, he said, but students at the complex usually cannot.

"We have found the station tunes in better on a rather than transistor raaio, if the radio is next to a wall," Eckert said.

Members of Eckert's "Radio and T-eievision Announcing" class serve as .disc· jockeys, he said, and Station Manager Artie Benson is responsible for organizing the program. Norm Parrish, Eckert said, works on special projects involving the radio station.

KPSC dis jockeys include Sheryl Post Greg Yost, Bob Davis, Brad Locl{hart, Albert Williamson, Dave Pedersen, Tim Robertson, Tammy Pike, Mike Northrup, Michael Poulson, Deb Moore, Mike Hamilton, Steve Kleine, Karen Cooverd Darreis Joiner, Benson an Parrish.

"There will be quite a variety of styles," Eckerf said, both in the type of shows and type of music broadcast by the students. Suggestions and constructive criticism concerning KPSC programming are encouraged, EcKert said i any letters of this nature shomd be addressed to his attention.

Gorillas stomp Peru on Boot Hill

by Kent Propst

Led by the outstanding play of ql,larterback Mark Hittner, Pittsburg (Kan.) State University spoiled Peru State's first-ever appearance in a bowl game. The Gorillas pounded Peru State by a 43-14 tally in Dodge City Kans., Nov. 17, in the season finale for both teams.

Pittsburg State, 8-3 and unrated in NAIA's Division 1, l·umped to a 21-0 first quarter ead, scored once in the third period and twice more in the last five minutes to make tbe final margin a deceptive .29 pointS.

The Bobcats1 rated twelfth in the final regUJar-season NAIA Division 2 p0ll 1 were hampered by the wind ana an opportunistic Pittsburg offensive aftack. Peru State enC!ed a highly successful season with a 6-4 record under fifthcyear Coach Jerry Joy.

The tempo of the game was established from the very beginning. Peru received the kidrnff, but on the first play

from scrimmage the snaJl eluded the BobcatS for a 14-yara loss to their own six yard 1ine.

Terry Hinkle punted into the brisk wind and Pittsburg took over in Peru territory on the Bobcat 48.

On Pittsburg's first offensive i>lay, Hittner h'anded off to flanker Steve Krull, who tossed the ball back to Hittner. Hittner then passed the ball to wide-open Wilton Jones for a 48-yard touchdown with less than two minutes elapsed in the game.

Overton scored Pittsburg's next touchdown on a two yard run that was once again set up by a short Peru punt into the 15-mile per hour wind. Hittner passed for Pittsburg's third touchdown with a 46-yard bomb to Steve Krull on the last play of the first guarter.

The Boocats recovered in the second and third quarters. Led by the spirited plaY. of defenders Mike Dorn, Don Hill and Vernon Gantt, Peru State slowed down the Pittsburg offensive machine.

els and running back Alvin Holder got the Bobcat offensive machine in gear.

The Bobcats got on the scoreboard late in the second period when Kreifels lofted an eight-yard pass to flanker Rick Neubauer for the· touchdown. The score came on fourth down with 1:24 remaining in the half and cut the Pitt lead to 21-7. Pittsburg managed one score in the third period on a two-yard sneak by Hittner. The toucb!lown was set up by a 39-yard Hittner to Krull aerial. The Bobcats put together an eighty-yard drive early in the fourth quarter. The drive was capped by Alvin Holder's five-yard run and Peru was back in the ballgame but trailing 28-14.

Peru had one ,more chance when Vern Gantt fell on a Pitt fumble, but the Gorilla defense rose to the occasion and stopped the Bobcat offense.

Hittner then brought the Gorillas down the field and capped the drive himself with a 35-yard touchdown run. His two pomt conversion pass was complete to Krull to put Peru out of tl:ie game, 36-14. Disaster struck after the next Peru possession 1 which was again stopped oy the Pitt defense. On fourth down, the ball sailed over punter Terry Hinkle's head in the Peru endzone1 where it was recovered by Pitt ror the final touchdown. Joe Ballou's fifth extra {lOint kick was good to make the final margin 43-14.

"This year it will be close though, because we have a young rebuilding team," she said.

Dec. 4, the Concordia Viking women will match up with Peru at Seward at 7 p.m. Peru lost to Concordia last year, 46-58.

The Dana Bulldogs will travel to Peru, Dec. 6, for a 7:30 p.m. match. year. Peru played Dana twice. The first game was a close final score of 49-50 in favor of the Bulldogs, but in the second matchup, fferu defeated Dana, 54-23. "We have a height disadvantage this year compared to some of the personnel of the other teams. Because of this disadvantage, there will be more running a fast break and pressure defense," said Craig. Because of the rebuilding program and new coach, the Peru women's basketball team will be facing each game as a challenge.

Secretary of the Student Senate, Teri Reinhart, will resign her position as secretary.

Tnis reporter was sitting in the Senate office Dec. 7, talking to President Joe Primm, when Reinhart approached him and said that three other Senators had asked that she resign.

Apossible reason, Primm said later, was that Reinhart's minutes for the Senate's three-and-one-half hour long meeting Nov. 28, were barely a

page long.

After asking the procedure for resignation, Reinhart asked Primm if she could remain on the Senate after resigning as secretary. Primm said that she could, as a Senator-at-Large. Freshman Senator Karen Coover was recommended by Senators Renee and Tina Gault as Reinhart s replacement.

Coover's appointment as Senate Secretary has not yet been confirmed.

Senate discusses possible higher tuition and fees

by Jim Anderson

Possible tuition and fee hikes were mentioned at the Dec. 4 Student Senate meeting.

At a meeting of the State College Board of Trustees with the Onicameral's Appropriations Committee, Senate President Joe Primm said it was brought out bv State Senator Marsh that coOege students in Nebraska pay for only around one-seventh of the cost of their educations. Primm said that Senator Marsh stated several times during the meeting that students should bear more of the cost themselves. He said it was mentioned that health fees, especially, should be raised.

Also, Primm said, State Senator Fowler mentioned that perhaps colleges should discontinue the practice of filling drug

prescriptions for students. ft was brought out that expenditures,by colleges for drugs far outweigh the money brought in from student health fees. His proposal, however, didn't seem lo have much support, Primm said.

In other business, Senate Member Bob Davis proposed that a Student Senate seat be created for a representative from Nicholas-Pate Hall. Davis said that the Senate has been operating "at least unethically, and at most illegally," because the dormitory is not represented on the same basis as the other dormitories.

Davis' proposal prompted a lengthy discussion during which nothing was really decided.

Lastly, Primm disclosed an idea discussed at the Retention See column 5

Ms. Susan Gladstone, business instructor, told the committee that at Northwest Missouri State University, a bell tower is used for that purpose. PSC President Larry Tangeman told the committee he has looked mto the possibility of putting up a bell tower at Peru State.

Primm said the type of tower discussed would cost an estimated $15,000. The tower would be located on campus and would contain what Primm called "dummy bells." He said that the tower would be com]:Juterized, but that the recorded chimes would "sound like real bells." He added that he didn't know where the money would come from if the idea was approved.

Hello, ·g·oodbye from the editors

BY Becki Young and Deb Moore

Young: Well, the end of a decade also finds us at the end of a semester of "Peds." I would like to thank everyone on the "Ped" staff this year for really doing a great job. Thanks to you, we a11 look good. It looks Ji!{e I'll take over the helm of the good ship "Pedagogian" come 1980 if being tile editor is anything like the "glamorous" position of associate editori I could be bald by May. But, '11 do my best, with a little help from my friends. This seems to be the time of year for "thank-you's." So, thanks to all our readers for your ideas and suggestions. I hope you keep it up. After all, if we don't hear from you, how can we know what you want to read?

Merry Christmas, and have a Happy New Year 1

Moore: Finally! The day to hand over the editorship to Becki is here, and none too soon. My exper:ience as editor of the "Ped" has been one of the most valuable and educational lessons of my life, but-like some other things-you should only try it once. And then only with the help of a tremendous staff, which we certainly had this year.

I don't know about you, but the thought of writing 1980 on checks and lests and letters kind of scares me. It sounds too much like a year in a science fiction book (or am I just showing my age?) And, since the eras of American history seem to conveniently divide themselves into decades, most of us are prob.ably many changes m the next ten years. ·

Fraternity marks 50th year

Personally, I'd really like to see things happen like: visits from infer-galactic travellers; national decriminalization (better yet, legalization) of marijuana possession, some type of reimbursement for members of the Ped staff (who work hard for what sometimes seems to be nothing), and passage of the ERA.

Well, this is it. My last paragrar.h in my last editorial of my last 'Ped." And 1 despite the many traumas ano pressures and problems that are of workmg on the "Ped," its hard to say goodbye. So I won't. Be there, aloha. (And Happy Holidays')

The PSC chapter of Kappa Delta Pi, an honorary fratermty for education majors, celebrated their 50th anniversary on· Nov. 26.

A special anniversary dinner was lield in th,e Student Center dining room, preceded by an initiation ceremony in the Fine Arts Audi tori um_ for new members.

Thurber presentation good, but plagued with problems

by Kevin Casey

The PSC Directing II class, which includes Stuaent Directors Mary Ann Mellor, Ron Doeden, Danelle Warner, and Kim Snarp, will present "A Thurber Carnival" on December 14, 15 and 16. Curtain time on the 14th and 15th will be at 8 p.m. 1 and a matinee will be perform ea on the 16th at 2 p.m.

"A Thurber Carnival" is a collection of short vignettes from the writings of James · Thurber, an American humorist and writer during the 1930's and 40's. The play was first produced on Broadway in 1960 by Burgess Meredith.

Dr. Charles Harper, instructor of the Directing II class, stated that he hoped that this project

would teach the four student directors to work in harmony with each other and learn a spirit of cooperation that will be necessary for them in future directing situations.

So far, the production has been plagued by erratic scheduling 1 actors missing rehearsals ano disputes between the directors. Some of the student directors also believed they were not getting enough support from the cast or from the mstructor. However, the rehearsals are improving and the attitudes cf hopelessness that have permeated the entire project seem to be lifting. ' A Thurber Carnival" promises to be an interesting and entertaining show.

Teresa Sweeney, Sharon Bartels, Lori Stortenbecker, Kathi Reuter, Rita Donahue, Deb Riha and Laura Pollman.

At the same time, 17 students pledged to the fraternity: Sandfort, ·Julie Brockhous, Marsha Stortenbecker, Peggy Jones, Kim Berger, Mary Parrott, Mary Findees, Lynn Anderson, Beth Giffee, Michelle Heim, Bev Malcom, Cheryl Baggs, Mark Watton, Mary Lolimeier, Patty Lewis, Deb Palmer and Betliene Erbst.

If these pledges are able to maintain tlieir academic stand-

ing, they will be initiated into the fratermty next yar. Guest speaker at the dinner was Dr. Clementine Skinner, advisorv counselor to the national Kappa Delta Pi organization. In her speech, Skmner discussed some of the general beliefs of Kappa Delta Pi. "We believe in science. But that doesn't mean we toss out ideas because they are not new,'' she said.

After her speech, the "Misty Blues " PSC's swing choir, entertained those in atlendance with a selection. of songs

tuck in Peru?

by Mick Osbon

To most PSC students the thought of being stuck in Peru for the Holidays could only be expressed as the "pits." For as all Peru students !<now, the opportunity for the enjoyment of meaningful recreation is, to say the least, Jimifed. Liryiited, by the imagination of the caotive.

Those with hunting fever are luckier than most, for Southeast Nebraska provides some of the best areas in the country for pursuit of the ringneck pheasant and quail.

Another lucky group, the bo6k worms, will be sure to put the Extended Ctiristmas Holidays to good use.

The rest of the outdoor adventurists must certainly be wishing for sn,ow. The arrival of snow to the hills of Peru opens the door to a vast array of winter sports.

Any of the large hills and bluffs in tlie area are a challenge to even the experienced snow slider. Even if you don't have a fancy toboggan, an inner tube will work fine a11d has better bounceback qualities when encountering the mighty Oak.

S For those interested in cross country skiing, Indian Cave tate Park provides many maintained trails to lead the ·nature lover to a winter wonderland.

if all else fails to satisfy your thirst for enioyment this holiday season, you might try doing something nice for someone else.

It's. up to each of us to make this a Merry Christmas. En1oy!

Ski the Rockies this year:

More expensive, but worth it!

by Dale Thonfaf ·

It may be more expensive, but this year as in the past, some students from Peru State will be spending their Christmas vacation in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado snow skiing. : Snow skiing trips to Colorado have become more popular with Peru State students in the past couple of years, and it seems that once a person has gone to the slopes he always wants to retur,n soon.

Skis, sleds and bowls--holiday fun

by Dave Thomas

Winter is upon us once again at Peru State College and, for many, that just means a blah season slightly brightened by vacation from school and the holidays. But this doesn't have to be the case if students are willing to get out of their warm beds and enjoy some of the finest outdoor sports available to them.

Some of flatland Nebraska's best skiing opportunities for students are right at our ski-tips and many Peru students have

taken advantage of them.

The hills of Peru and surrounding communities offer some of the best cross country skiing in Nebraska. And for the ultimate, Indian Cave State Park, less than one-half hour from the cQllege, is rated one of the best cross country skiing areas in the state.

Last year the park attracted from 65 to 120 skiers every week and that number is sure to grow this year. Students are welcome to clieck out equipment from the Physical Education Office to accommodate themselves for

offer some cross-eountry skiing, it seems that the downliill holds a bigger advantage and is more of an attraction to the students.

Though it may be 100 late to line up a trip for this year, you might consider it in the future.

A skiing trip to Colorado does have expenses. The first of course, your transportation. Though it takes longer\ driving is the more econom1ca way to travel rather than flying. If four people are going along, you can figure transportation will cost a5out $50 each, approximately one-third of what it would cost to

fly. The next two expenses to consider are lodging and food. Almost all of tlie popular ski resorts offer lodgings which will

easily accommodate at least t k" If th b four people. These lodges are cross coun ry s ung. e ug 'ver{ home-like and usu,!l.Jly.w ill bites you too hard, l!owever, be " prepared to pay approximately cos about $25 to $30 a da'yc; which $200 for good cross country could also be split amongst the · equipment. four ,People, or however many

Another expense is the ski lift tickets, whicn pay for taking you back to the top of the slope once you get to tile bottom (either skiing or falling). ,Also ski passes, which admit you to the slope, must be purchased. These two expenses are usually purchased on a weekly basis and cost around $35 a week. For rookies, skiing lessons are also available for a fee. There !hay be some other minimal expenses but they won't amount

to. much. ;

Senate VP appointed

:Soifyou don't have an9thing planned for your next vacation, you might want to try skiing in Colorado. It is expensive, out everyone who has been there and tried it usuanx agrees on one thing; they can t wait to get back. intermedia te and advanced skiers alike find plenty of action on the trails. Downhill skiing is a little more expensive though, and you should expect to pay about $25 a day for equipment rental plus extra for lift flckets and ski passes.

Includmg the cost of transportation, lodging and meals, the whole ski trip could become a little expensive. But I'm sure anyone who has downhill skied before will agree it is well worth the money spent. Colorado offers hundreds of excellent ski resorts, and the college usually tries to arrange a trip fo Breckenridge, Aspen or Copper Mountain. Once again, the trip is not inexpensive, but the experiences gained both on and off the slopes are never forgotten.

For those not loaded with bucks, there are still a number of exciting snow activities that can be experienced. Peru boasts one of the finest sledding hills in Southeast Nebraska, "gutbuster" hill. Many broken sleds and bruised bodies have resulted from trips down "gut-buster," which consists of 1wo of the meanest blocks of hill in Peru. Sleds or snow discs can be purchased locally for as little as $4 to $25. If you still can't afford to spend that much for a sled, the food service at the college may reluctantly loan you a lunch tray to slide down the hills with.

If you're still fed up with the idea of spending long hours in 10 degree Nebraska weather, you can load up the car and head for the Cotton Bow1 to chePr on the Huskers. Or, even better, you can take off ror the Orange Bowl in Miami and throw eggs at Billy Sims and the Sooners.

Bobkittens off to troubled start

by Rosie Schulenberg

The Peru State Bobkittens basketball team has gotten off to a disappointing start, losing their f1rst seven games. But, th.ey are showing improvement with every contest. The team has been hampered by injuries and is lacking in

height. Two of the tallest pi'ayers;, Renee Cheney and Ronda ;,chroecter have been injured and missed most of the games.

In the Tarkio Invitational, Nov. 24-25, Peru was overwhelmed by the University of Missouri at Rolla, 104-42. Peru was lerilllly Jackie Nixon with 16 points,"'Fran Calanni with eight points and four rebounds, and Karen Lechner with six points and six rebounds.

In the second game, Peru lost to Doane College, 70-62. The Bobkittens were again led by Nixon with 21 points, Kim Grinstead with 14 points and 13 rebounds, Calanni with 12 points, and Julie Brinkman witli eight points and ten rebounds.

Peru played Doane on Nov. 28, in regufar season play, and was defeated, 52-42. Cold shooting from the field hurt PSC. They only hit 21· per cent of their attempted field goals. Nixon led the scoring with ten points and five rebounds, Grinstead had eight points and 11 rebounds, Calanni had seven points and five rebounds and assists, Brinkman had four points and 12 rebounds, and Cheney had seven points and nine rebounds.

Peru traveled to Southeast Community College of Fairbury, Nov. 30 and again lost by a score of 73-37. Nixon led Peru with 19 points, followed by Grinstead with six points and Brinkman with three points arld ten rebounds. Mistall:es were Peru's biggest problem, with 31

turnovers com Jilared to nine for Fairbury.

On Dec. 4 Peru played Concordia at Seward and was defeated, 52-48. Peru led Concordia, 32-30, at half time. Nixon again led Peru with 18 points, while Grinstead had 14 points and nine rebounds, and Brinkman had six points and nine rebounds. , Peru hosted Dana College on Dec. 6 and lost another close game, 63-59. Peru again led at nalf-time, 26-23. Higfi scorer of the game was Nixon with 23 points, Lechner with 19 points and 12 rebounds, and Brinkman with six points and 17 rebounds before fouling out midway through the second half. This game was probably Peru's best effort so far this season. Peru traveled to Tarkio on Dec. 8 and lost, 65-46. They were behind by 11 points at half-time.

Nixon led with 21 points and five rebounds. Grinstead had 12 points and eight rebounds and Lechner had mne points and nine rebounds. Brinkman was Peru's leading rebounder with 12. Peru shot cold from the free throw line, hitting only 10 of 25 shots.

The Bobkittens will play at Kearney State, Dec. 15. It is expected to be one of PSC's toughest games this season. The next game will be Jan.9, against Nebraska Wesleyan m Lmcoln. Peru's first home game second semester will be Jan. 11, against Creighton University at 7:30 p.m.

Hajny leads the squad this season

freshmen Matt Stough and Tom Johnson, and sophomores Jeff Smith and Keith McKim. Bret Nanninga (left), freshman, was Peru's leading rebounder with seven during the 'Cat's defeat by Tarkio last Saturday. (Photo by Mike Northrup)

At the start of the season, PSC men's basketball tea faced a tough schedule. No 15-17, the 'Cats traveled Marymount (Saline, Kan.) for tournament. In the first ga Peru was defeated by powerful Marymount tea 92-37. Nor th Platte freshma M.att Stough led team scoring. with 10 pomts.

Wayland Baptist defeated Peru m the second game, 65-60. Peru shot 52 per cent from the field. Leading scorer was Bernie Hajny, with a .career high of 28 points and eight rebounas.

Hiatt, a 6-3 sophomore, and Jeff Edwards a 6-6 junior,- will also be key players for the visitors. The last time Peru and Hastings played was in 1977, in the NAIA District 11 playoffs, with the Broncos coming out on toJJ. Earlier that same year, the Bobcats defeated the Broncos in the Marymount (Saline, Kan.) Tournament.

On Dec. 19, the Bobcats and the Kearney State Antelopes will meet in the PSC gymnasium to renew their yearly conference rivalry. Last year Kearney State had a record of 25-8 and represented District 11 in the NAIA National Tournament. The 'Lopers were also champions of the Nebraska College Conference and co-champions of the Central States Intercollegiate Conference. Kearney State has 11 returning lettermen, including standout Tim Higgins, 6-5, an All American who averaged 17.9 points and 8.1 rebounds per game as a junior. Roger Behrends, 6-5 senior, and Joe Ernst, 5-9 senior, are other top Kearney players.

During Christmas vacation, the Bobcats will compete in the Nebraska Wesleyan University Holiday Tournament in Lincoln, Dec. 28-29. Peru opens the second semester with two home games against Nebraska Wesfeyan Jan. 7, and Doane College, Jan. 9. Both games begin at 7:30

Peru picked up its only win to date against Concordia at Seward, Nov. 20. The Bobcats won by a very narrow margin, 68-67. Forward Keith McKim completed a basket with one second remaining in the game to·· give Peru the victory.

Nov. 23-24, the Bobcats traveled to Crete for the Doane Invitational. The first game saw Midland defeating Peru, 70-57. The Bobcats' leading scorer once again was Hajnv, with 14 points and 17 rebounds. Stough and Jeff Smith, Lincoln, followed with 12 points each. · Peru played Concordia in the second game and, unlike previouslyd the 'Cats lots, 50-64. Stough le in scoring with 12 points and nine rebounds.

The Bobcats lost a conference game next to Wayne State, Nov. 27, 44-58. Nov. 3, the)l fell to Dana College! 68-76. Sqmres' cagers were a so defeated this season by 14 points by the Wayne State Wildcats.

Peru met the Dana Vikings and lost, 68-76. Dana hit 12 out of 18 free throws, which helped register the eight-point win. Hainv paced the Bobcats with 16 points, followed by 15 for Stough. Smith aided with nine assists. Tarkio gained a 10-point win over Peru, Dec. 10, with a score of 67-57. The first half of the game saw Peru ahead of the Owls, 30-28. The game see-sawed throughout unfil the last 10 minutes, when Tarkio surged ahead.

The leading scorer for Peru against the Owls was Tom Johnson from Lawnside, N.J. The freshman guard hit eight out of 13 field goals and two out of two free throws for 18 points.

Hajnv followed with 13 pomts and six rebounds, and Kip Allison, freshman, had eight points and five rebounds. Bret Nanninga, Humboldt, added four and seven rebounds. Peru s record so far this season is 1-7.

B"ORASHAN. I think, ·but since they are Christians, they speak a language different from the Government, so they do not understand what my family says on the phone.

PED. On the news lately, many Iranian students claim that they can no longer get money from home to continue their educations. Has this affected you?

BORASHAN. I have not received any mail for four weeks, since all this started, so I .cannot get money from Iran because the mail has stopped. But I have many relatives. m the United States.

refuge in this country to escape justice.

BORASHAN. We have never had any important people die of cancer in Iran. Most people check every six months or even everv month to see if thev have cancer. I am sure that the Shah checked every week. (laughter)

PED. What about the student faction that is holding the American hostages? Who are they'!

BORASHAN. There is no Christian following for Khomieni. All are Moslem. I do not agree with them. There is no way to return the Shah. He cannot be forced to return to Iran.

PED. What, exactly, are the charges against the Shah?

BORASHAN. The Shah killed 701000 people in his 37 years as rwer.

PED. He is also accused of stealine: vast sums of money, is he not'r BORASHAN. Yes, he stole much money, and I can say for sure that he is the richest man in the world. He never tried to make universities t>r anything. That is why there are so many Iranian stuilents in America. He used all his money for things of the Army, like airplanes.

PED. We have heard that since your family is Christian, they could possibly be in some sort of danger. Is that true?

BORASHAN. The last time I talked to them, they said that they were fine and that they were not being bothered, but they cannot get a visa to the Umted States.

PED. Is their phone being tapped?

PED. What do you think of the way President Carter has conducted U.S. policy in light of the Iran conflic1?

BORASHAN. I don't know what is going on between Carter and the Shall. Shah no longer has influence or power. They were not friends, Carter was Shah's boss.

PED. President Carter was the Shah's boss? How do you mean?

BORASHAN. For example1 in Asia, some countries haa a meeting and whenever they decided to raise oil prices, the Shah was against it because Carter told him to be.

PED. What will happen if there is a war between llie U.S. and Iran?

BORASHAN. I hope there will not be a war. I don' think there will be a war. The first town the American Navy would attack is my hometown of Khorramshahr.

PED. A lot of ill-feeling has been generated between Americans and Iranian students in this country. Has that affected you in any way?

BORASHAN. I have not yet had a problem: with people here. My advisor told me to l{eep low.

PED. Considering all that has happened, will you ever go back to 1ran?

BORASHAN. I am not going back to Iran. I now have my white card and am a resident (permanent resident of the U.S.). If I have that, and my parents cannot get a visa to the United States, r will never see my parents again. But I will never go back to Iran-even if I am deported, I will never go back to Iran.

Students seize U. Embassy

Eighty-three days have passed since militant students seized the United States Embassy in Iran Nov. 4, 1979 in the name of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, demanding that Washington send the exiled Shah back to Iran for tran. The deposed Shah was in the U.S. undergoing treatment for cancer.

To date American ho.stages are still being held captive in exchange for the of Iran. The Ayatollah Kliomeini says he will not negotiate for the release of the hostages until the U.S. responds to their demands for the Shan's return.

Khomeini and his followers have accused the U.S. of spying on Iran, plotting to restore the Shah to power and preparing for war botli military and economic. Khomeini has statea that the hostages may be put on trial for alleged spying and if found guilty would be punished.

Due to pressure from. world opinion, Khomeini's more moderate advisors asked him to release the women and · black hostages. "Islam respects women especial!}"., and blacks who nave lived under the opression of the U.S.," .stated Khomeini. Later eight blacks and five women were released from the Embassy.

President Carter called on his options to solve the crisis in Iran. He petitioned the International Court of Justice to order Iran to release the hostages, and warned Khomeini that although the U.S. leans toward P.eaceful actions, other options may be considered if peaceful terms are exhausted. Through careful three American clergymen were invited to fly to Teheran and hold Christmas services for the hostages.

The clergymen conducted individual services for small groups of liostages, with armed Iranian guards present at .all times. Altflough Washington insists there are 50 · hostages, the clergymen only counted 43.

On :Jan. 14 an Iranian news release told the American press that they were no longer welcome in Iran. The lranians charged that the American press was biased and too much on the hostages and not enough on Iranian demands.

Michigan University, where he had been a member of the Alpha chapter of that fraternity. While wearing his fraternity jacket on campus, he was approached by Jim Sapp, a student. Several other interested students talked to Eaton, and interest grew.

In the fall of 1978, ilie group organized into the Beta Chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon, the second largest nationa1 fraternity in the country. The new frat.ernity, Sigma Beta Chi, adopted the "S'J$ Ep" crest and tile motto "P1stos Adolphos." They have had one pledge class, in the spring of 1979') and will have anoilier one this spring.

Sigma Beta Chi's biggest project so far has been a money raising program to help buy back the bonos on Majors Hall in the hopes of converting it from a dormitory to a health center.

The advent of this new fraternity has been beneficial in more ways than just raising money for good projects.· It has also opened the door for new organizations such as the Peru State Yachting club, and the Pre-Law Fraternity, which are both still in the planning stages.

Alcohol most abused drug

The Associated Press recently reported about a 19-year-olil man who drank himself to death. In a four-hour period, he consumed 46 shots of whiskey, brandy and rum while 50 people watched.

The reason: he tried to beat a record for drinking liquor. No expert will disagree with the statement that the most abused drug in America today is alcohol.

But Peru State College is not idly by and ignoring this serious problem. PSC is providing information to students about the hazards of

excessive drinking. In additionl the college is offermg a series or classes that are generally required for certification in alcoholism counseling.

The latest course is titled "Specialized Counseling Techniques for the Alcoholic Patient." It's the third class that has been sponsored by PSC's Continuing Education profil:am, directed by Mrs. Mary Ruth Wiison.

The instructor will be Gene _ Dill, Blue Valley Mental Health center's chief alcohol counselor, who taught previous classes on alcoholism. ·

Students are urged to fill out and return the form as directed.

Stress workshop offered

PSC will offer an in-service workshop entitled "Stress" (Ed. 415) from 6-9 p.m. Friday, Feb. 1, and from 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 2. · Consultants for the two-day workshop are Dr. Robert D. Alley, professor of education at Wichita (Kan.) State University; Ms. Peggy Friedman of the Murdock 'reacher Center in Wichita; and Dr. Jack Hytrek, assistant professor of education at ·Peru. The two Wichita consultants have offered similar workshops at several national meetings, Hytrek said. Some of the sessions to be presented by Alley and Friedman include "Are You Stress

WAA host to

annual tourney

Peru State Women's Athletic Association (WAAJ hosted the fifth annual Peru State College girl's High School Basketball Tournament Jan. 21, 22 and 24.

Seven high school girl's basketball teams· vyed for the championship in the single-elim- ination tournament. Mercy High School of Omaha was tlie defending champion.

The remainder of the field includes teams from Auburn, Humboldt Omaha Duchesne Weeping Water, Conestoga and Omaha Cathedral.

"We are offering these courses because we are trying to make a meaningful contrioution to a nationwide problem,'' Mrs. Wilson said.

Instruction is designed, she said, to enable persons to recognize the symptoms of alcoliolism, understand referral resources, and how to deal with people while they are inebriated. In connection to this needed educational program 1 PSC received an $8,000 gram from the Nebraska Division on Alcoholism.

"The purpose of this grant," Mrs. Wilson said, "is to develop awareness about the problem of alcoholism help develop proper attitudes by students toward drinking, increase knowledge about problem drinking, and to serve as a resource Ior area who want instructional information on alcoholism."

Also, a unit of instruction concerning symptomatology, referral sources and techniques, warning signals, crisis intervention techmques, pharmacology and confrontation techniques 1s being included in the profes- sional education semester's training. This will enable young teachers to deal effectively with alcohol-related problems encountered in the public schools.

Dill said recently that very little information about what alcohol can do to a person is known by those who drink.

He feels that if people can be made aware oI what the symptoms of alcoholism are, good pr:ogress will be made.

In order to get the word out on campus, several things are being done: films and lectures have been presented; a monthly newsletter is being published; and programs concerning prob- lem drinking are being presen- ted to students.

uition increase

Tuition for Nebraska residents nding the four state colleges be increased by one dollar r credit hour for the 1980-81 ademic year, raising the cost $19 per credit hour. The rease made by the State ege Board of Trustees, was ounced at the PSC Student nate meeting Jan. 30, by ate President Joe Primm. Primm, also PSC's representive to the Boavd of Trustees, 'd he went on record at the ard meeting as being in favor the increase. He said he fends the trustees' decision

because "this school needs the money. Governor Thone cut our budget quite a bit and the money will be used primarily to cover the loss."

The 5.6 per cent tuition raise represents the third increase in as many years for the state colleges. Tuition at Peru was increased from $15.50 to $17 (9.7 per cent) for the 1978-79 academic year and from $17 to $18 (5.9 per centl for the 1979-80 year. The increase for out-state students will be (igured on a pro-rated basis.

Senate opposes Kelly bill

The PS(' Student Senate expressed its opposition to LB22I. at its Jan. :io meeting.

Student Senate representative Tony Nebelsick moved that the Senate draft a statement in opposition to State Senator Ralph Kelly's bill to raise the drinking age to 20 years.

In discussion Senate President Joe _Primm said that Kelly has vowed to get the legal age back up to 21 years. Primm added

that 70·75 per cent of the Unicameral support Kelly. "We need to show more of a voice as college students on what's going on in our legislature," he added.

Nebelsick's motion was carried by a majority of the Senate.

In other business, the Senate elected Mike Paulson SenatorAt-Large, filling the vacancy made by Teri Reinhart's resignation Jan. 9. Paulsen was

hiked for • IS semester honor roll

The grade point average for making the semester honor roll at PSC has been changed from 7.25 to the top ten per cent of full-time students enrolled.

According to Dr. Clyde Barrett, vice president of ·academic affairs, the change was made more than a year ago by the Academic Affairs Commission and went into effect at the beginning of the fall semester, 1979. Barrett said the change was "based on a large number_ of

students who felt making the honor roll was meaningless.'' He added that this attitude was a result of the number of students making the list. The proposal was first introduced to the Commission by Barrett at their Nov. 21, 1978, meeting. On Jan. 9, 1979, Commission members approved the new policy.

The policy change was then reported at the Jan. 18, 1979 Student Senate meeting.

one of two applicants for the seat.

"We're all very happy they're having this game in his honor, and we are especially happy about the scholarship," commented Mrs. Brady. "Al has always attended all the sports events on campus and coached the faculty teams."

Annette Svoboda, Maelynn Bassinger, Christy Olsen, Jan Hammers, Laurie Graham, Tom Wooten, Perry Biaggi, Bob Svoboda and Ed Russell.

Student ci-tes poor commu,nication

January 9, 1979, January 21, J980. What do these dates have in common'? They reflect lack of communication.

As I type this editorial, some students at Peru State College have yet to be informed by those responsible for increasing the GP A requirement for making the honor roll.

To make this list required at least a 7.25 GPA-until last semester. That was when the change, to raise it to the upper ten per cent took effect. This change is in the 79-80 catalog and does not apply to the -overall GPA.

At the Academic Affairs Commission meeting where the idea was first proposed, one student representative was present. Neither of them made

the second meeting, and at the third meeting, when the issue was voted on, alas, no student representatives were present to vote.

If the students reps weren't present at the meeting, were we really fairly represented? Do we really have a voice in those issues that affect us?

- My gfipe is not so much that the change was made {although I don't agree that it was needed) but that the people it affects-US -Yoo HOO, STUDENTS!-were not even told of the change!

Over 230 students made the honor roll per semester which made the list ,seem less "honorable" to some. How many of you I don't know, but I have talked with a number of students who feel the top ten per cent,

Misty Blues hit road

The Misty Blues are heading into second semester with a busy schedule and new members. _ Members this semester are: Sharon Bartels, Lori Stortenbecker, Christy Olsen, Deanna Dea, Karen Coover, Chuck Chase, Keith Rippe,- Tom Lawson, Charles Ferguson and Tony Nebelsick.

well, as one student put it is, "not even within reach."

How many students !eel badly when they get a five or a six, or what is commonly called an "average" grade? It would seem that to MERELY be AVERAGE is disgraceful. Granted that an HONOR roll is meant to honor ·those above average students, but certainly a B+ average, uh, lets say a B+ GPA is something of an honor.

What about the student who takes tough courses and barely pulls out 7.25 as compared to the students who take easy courses and breeze by with a""9.oo average?

What of the student who is involved in many school activities, and carries a full load, <perhaps with a part-time job) as compared to the student who does little else but study?

Although I am not condemning studying, I think some recognition should be given to active students. College should not be grades alone.

Isita FAULT to have so many on the honor roll? Is it a FAULT to have a 7.25 GPA? If so, why punish the student who made the · grade? The grade was given to them by the instructors. Would it then be a case of lenient teachers?

I believe that the Academic Affairs Commission should take another look at their decision or ask the Student Senate to go directly to those affected by the char1ge-the students.

Perhaps the outcome would be different. If not, someone will surely let us know. Won't you? You will, won't you? HEH! Is ANYBODY out there concerned?

Oh well, Mom always said that the best teacher was not the one with the best grades, but the one who could relate to the "average" student.

Elections set for March

by Jim Anderson

The election of a new Student Senate is tentatively set for March 26 and 27 according to Senate President Joe Primm. He said that the dates are not yet official.

Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates must run as a team and will be voted on by the entire student body. They must each be carrying at least 12 semester hours and have a 5.00 GPA for all hours completed at PSC. In addition, neither can be on any form of social probation

and each must have completed 30 semester hours at PSC before their terms ·of office would begin.

Requirements for other senate positions are the saine as those for President and Vice-President except they need not have completed 30 hours at PSC.

Candidates for President; Vice-President, Senator at Large, Freshman Representative or Class Officer in the Senate must present petitions to the Senate's Political Committee, bearing the signatures and

Conley story continued

"There were very few handicaps that I had to overcome at Peru," said Gwynne. "Of course I adjusted to new surroundings like any other student, but I've also had problems in aquiring books in braille form and taking notes in classes." Now when Gwynne has to have a book read, a friend or an aid reads to her.

Having lived in Morgan Hall her first two years at PSC, she now resides in an off campus apartment, almost totally independent.

In the school year of 78-79, Gwynne taught a class in reading braille to a number of students. "This semester I tried to get a class together, but no one attended our first session so the class was dropped," said Gwynne.

Gwynne is majoring in elementary education with an endorsement in special education. She is active in the PSC choir, Circle K, and Peru Players.

No tickets

There are no changes in parking regulations this semester, most regulations still go unenforced.

Bill Reeves, supt. of buildings and grounds, said campus security is strict on parking spaces designated for the handicapped and service trucks as these come under state regulations.

Reeves said that at present there is no one around to give out tickets due, for the most part, to lack of funds.

Up to now, the only violators that have been ticketed have been those complained about.

social security numbers or certificate of registration numbers of at least 50 Peru students.

Petitions of candidates for senators from the residence halls must have the signatures and social security numbers of at least 35 per cent of .the hall's occupants if under 50 people live there and at least 25 names if more than 50 residents.

All petitions must be submitted at least five days before the election.

"Pers?ns can start campaignmg now 1f they want to," Primm said, "but positions won't open up until March 3." He said that anyone interested in running for a position should get a copy of the Student Senate's constitution and read it. "Presidential elections will probably run a lot smoother this year than last "

"Everyone's been really good m trying to help me adjust," said Gwy.nne. "I enjoy people. Talking to people is facihating." added Primm. '

With the coming of the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, N.Y., the height of interest in winter activities are upon us.

To some, winter may be a time of dreaded cold and indoor seclusion; along with familiar phrases by students like "What's there to do in Peru in the winter time?"

Besides the all time favorite pasttime of sitting at the 'The Little Acorn' watching TV and sipping suds, different outdoor activities are present.

On campus, students have access to cross-country skies. The Intramurals office has 14 pairs of cross-country skies that can be checked out by the students for a limited time.

"People check out our skies, and go to Indian Cave Park, where there are cross-country

Friends found in 11Fantastics"

by Mark McFadden

"The Fantasticks" by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt is quite different from what is normally expected in a musical. It has a small cast, and no scenery to speak of.

Perhaps the greatest difference is a feeling of intimacy in the play, the audience becomes

friends with the characters.

The action of the play is overseen by El Gallo, the Narrator (Aaron Larson).

Throughout the show he is assisted by a Mute (Kim Sharp).

The story concerns "A Boy, a girl, two fathers, and a wall."

The fathers, Hucklebee (Lenny Mazour) and Bellomy (Keith Rippey) have built a wall between their homes due to an old feud.

The feud is a sham, they are friends and would like to have their children fall in love with each other.

They have shrewdly guessed that the best way to accomplish this is to forbid their children from meeting. The plan works, Matt (Charles Ferguson) and Luisa (Lori Stortenbecker) fall for each other.

In order to end the "feud" without the children catching on, the fathers hire El Gallo to stage an abduction of Luisa, allowing Matt to become a hero when he comes to the rescue.

El Gallo enlists the aid of two has-been actors, Henry (Mark McFadden) and Mortimer \Chuck Chase) for the great abduction.

From there on the plot takes several twists before the happy ending.

Everyone will find something within the play to identify with, as. the show deals with several themes.

Young love, parental love and dissappointment are part of the story and all are connected with the changing of the seasons.

The play opens Feb. 27 and runs through March 1. Curtain time is 8 p.m., in the College Auditorium.

trails for skiers. Or they go out of town along the river," said Dr. Tom Fitzgerald, director of intramurals and recreation.

If cross-country skiing doesn't sound like the ideal winter activity, the intramurals office also has available inner tubes which can be used for the sport of inner tubing on snow.

According to Fitzgerald, students last year checked out inner tubes, and "tubed" down near by hills. "Some say it's better than sledding," he added.

People who are the back to nature types can walk or hunt the bluffs. While doing so, they might chance upon some old Indian dwellings, according to Mr. Everett Browning. It is advised however, that before hunting or hiking on private property, a person gain permission first.

From past experiences

though, it seems that the favorite winter outdoor activity on campus, is a good o'l fashioned fun snowball fight!

Several spring sports are being organized for Peru students this semester. These sports include men's and women's tennis, golf and track teams. These additions to the athletic department are an effort to better serve everyone at PSC, said Athletic Director Jerry Joy.

Tennis will be coached by Bill Squires and will practice at the PSC tennis courts in the Oak Bowl. It is not yet known how many participants are going out for tennis or just how extensive the sport will be.

Golf will be coached by Dr. Ervin Pitts. Pitts stated that he has been inquiring around campus as to how many people are interested in going out for golf. The teams will practice and compete over at the Auburn Country club as soon as weather allows.

Arenovated track is a positive factor for increasing the number of students interested in going out for track this spring.

DWI travels Student sees war as election too • •

by Darrell Wellman

In January several Sigma Beta Chi fraternity members and friends went to Dallas, Texas to cheer on the Nebraska Cornhuskers against the Houston Cougars. Those who went on the five day trip were frat members Jim Myers, Keith Mullins, Kip Grinstead, Mark Fankhauser and myself. Also making the trip were Mrs. Steve Fankhauser, Denise Gurley, Tami Snyder, Diane Folkes and Jim Anderson.

While in Dallas we were fortunate enough to be able to get tickets to the Rams and Cowboys NFL playoff game.

Everyone was impressed with Texas Stadium, the huge electronic scoreboard and the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders.

We attended the "North Texans For Nebraska" New Years Eve party with nearly 3500 Cornhusker fans present. This lasted all evening and included a band, beef dinner and refreshments. The Nebraska cheerleaders were there to boost everyone's spirits and start off the new year in fine style.

To most of us it was a different way to start a new decade and one that will be remembered for a long time. Profits from the party went to a scholarship fund to aid students who want a chance to attend the University of Nebraska New Year's Day brought the Cotton Bowl game.

Everyone boarded a bus from the motel and arrived at the stadium in plenty of time to see the pre-game activities. The festivities included several marching bands, and a procession of Cotton Bowl royalty.

The weather was a beautiful 60 degrees with a bright sun shining. The only thing that dampened Husker Spirits was the last second catch that gave Houston a victory over the Big Red.

Throughout the history of the United States, presidents always seem to be after a crisis during their first adminis· tration. Lincoln was at the height of the Civil War, Franklin Roosevelt was voted into office again during World War Two, and Richard Nixon · was re-elected during the Vietnam conflict.

Once again it is an election. year in the U.S., and Ji!Jlmy Carter does not want to relinquish his title to anyoneespecially to those he thinks to be lightweight contenders like Ronald Reagan or Ted Kennedy. Happily for him, three -international incidents have arisen which could very· possibly guarantee Carter's place in history.

The Cuban Crisis, in which Carter blew Russian troop movements all out of proportion to elevate his administration's popularity in the preliminary polls. The Iranian holding of

American Embassy hostages, which was a very real outrage and a slap in the face not only to the United States but also to the entire United Nations, whose warnings were ignored by the Iranians. The third and probably the most important of the three problems is the Russian "invasion" of Afghanistan, which, according to the Russians is merely the fulfillment of a treaty between herself and Afghanistan.

Those who control the happenings in this country and the world are ready to plunge the world into war once again. What is the best remedy for a collapsing economy? Go to war. What is the best way to sway an increasingly anti-governmental national opinion back to the side of the government? Go to war. What is the easiest way for big industry to make_ another fortune? Go to war.

Jimmy Carter knows which side of his bread the butter goes on, and with the re-instatement of the draft, the "butter" will be

No change for grads

A proposal by the PSC Institutional Relations Committee (fRCl to move commencement to the weekend before, rather than after, classes are dismissed was rejected by the Academic Affairs Commission at their meeting on Jan. 29.

The change was recommended to the commission in late Nov. 1979, because it was thought that more non-graduating students

Resignation reiected

The resignation of Bob Davis as the Student Senate's corresponding secretary was rejected at the Feb. 6 Senate meeting. It is the Senate's sixth resignation so far this school year.

Senate member Kevin Casey moved that it not be accepted, saying, "we've had a resignation every week, it seems." He said

that somewhere the epidemic has to stop and "this is a good place."

Representative Tina Gault seconded Casey's motion, which passed with one no vote. Davis cited conflicts with Senate President Joe Primm as his reason for resigning.

might attend the ceremony and be "inspired to complete their schooling so they, too, will be able to graduate," said Bob Hagedorn, chairman of the IRC and college relations director. The proposal was kept on the agenda "for quite awhile" so commission members would have time to consider it. They didn't want to discourage students from attending commencement, but "they just felt, given the pros and cons, it might be better to keep the commencement date the same," said Dr. Clyde Barrett, chairman of the commission and vice president for academic affairs.

"If commencement were held a week earlier," Barrett said, ."we would have to do one of two things-either hand the students blank diplomas during the ceremony and mail them out later, or pull the graduating students out of classes early to take their final exams and have their grades computed."

Barrett said the commission disliked the idea, of giving blank diplomas a common practice at larger coheges and universities, because they thought a small college should be more individualized. He also said that letting graduating students take their final exams earlv would mean preparing another final for the students remaining in the class and would make extra work in computing students grades.

so thick the American public have to wade through it with boots.

In his own way, Carter telling us that we should prep ourselves that global war imminant and that he is the o to lead us through it. It's like government subsidizing ou space television shows to ease: the public into accepting aliens as just some more people from somewhere else. It's all just sa much social conditioning.

Look at it, if you will, from this standpoint. The companies who really own this country are in, what they call, deep financial trouble. That is why our nation's oil companies show their largest profits ever, and why Standard Oil Co. was able to buy Montgomery Ward and Co. That is how Gulf and Western were able to ourchase Universal Pictures c·orporation, and that is how the oil companies have· managed to raise consumer gasoline prices to well above the dollar per gallon mark. However, these delvings into the big business market are small potatoes compared to what our national conglomerates can make during a time of war.

The economv of the United States is in ser-ious trouble, and big business has too great a stake in it to let it slip into another depression. Government knows it, and will do just about anything to keep them, not us, from going under. That is why Carter bailed out Chrysler Corporation, but Jerry Ford did not lift a finger to help New York City during it's financial crisis in 1974-75.

Now, this country's young are being confronted with a problem which they had thought to be dead and gone for nearly a decade. They are faced with being drafted into the "service" of their country. They should have known better. The United States has been at war during every decade since the 1940's, and what better way to kick off the 1980's than by going to war with our arch nemisis, the Russians.

Actually, what we have here is a form of self-fulfilling prophecy. I was approached by a religion fanatic not long ago, who warned me of the dangers of the encroaching "world monetary system," and the deadly battle between the "eagle and the bear." Not much later, I was at home with a friend and a presidential candidate named Lyndon Larouche appeared on television, proposing a world monetary system, and then on the five o'clock news, Walter Cronkite told us of the boycott of the Russian Olympics by the United States.

Closer quarters for Spring

Dormitory occupancy for this Spring semester is up 20.7 per cent from what it was a year ago. This is the greatest number of occupants in PSC dorms for a Spring semester since 1975.

L. David Eaton, director of residence life, said the increase is primarily due to a rise in occupancy by single students,

Fun night at movies

especially in Delzell Hall, the men's dorm.

Eaton offered several other reasons why more PSC students are now living in dorms: the reluctance to commute; a new and improved food service plan; increased number of social and academic programs in the dorms; and expansion in staff.

.TLC for students

The Teaching and Learning Center (TLC) is a tutoring and counseling center available to an students. The center is located in the Education building, room 202, where students with study problems may seek help in all phases o} academia.

A. J. Hytrek, director of the learning center and assistant professor of education said, "The purpose of this service is to provide the students with ·any help they might need in their studies." ·

Hytrek said that tutors are available in any subject offered on campus. The Learning Center offers four studies skills courses. They are General Studies Skills, Test Anxiety, Vocabulary Expansion, and Listening and Note

Taking. These courses can be taken for one credit hour.

This service has been available for several years and depends entirely on student participation. ·These are not remedial courses but are designed to enhance and develop student's skills in studying and testing, added Hytrek.

The first students came to school equiped with stoves, beds, and utensils in their family's wagon. On Saturdays the girls baked, washed, and ironed while the boys did odd jobs. On Sundays church a';tendance was mandatory and the afternoons were devoted to reading or walking. (from "Normal on the Hill")

"We had a good program and we just made it better," Eaton said. "We have also increased emphasis on providing a better living environment for students."

"Our philosophy is that residence life should help contribute to the overall growth and development of the student while he or she is in college."

Spring Week April 17-22

Plans are still in the works for upcoming Spring Week, Apr. 17-22.

Among the activities scheduled is Tommy Koening, a comedian with the National Lampoon Touring Company. Koening will be on campus Apr. 21.

The annual Muscular Dystrophy Dance Marathon will be Apr. 18-19, for 15 hours. The marathon is sponsored by Circle K.

Most activities are still tentative at the moment and anyone having suggestions concerning Spring Week should contact Patti George, student programs coordinator, in the Student Senate office.

Hajny Donahue

by Kent Propst

Seniors John Donahue and Bernie Hajny will be seeing their last action for the Bobcats when they visit Kearney State on Monday and Dana Saturday evening to close out the 1979-80 season.

Donahue and Hajny, both natives of Hastings, are co-captains this season. The pair transferred to Peru after two seasons at Central Technical Community College in their hometown.

Donahue has played in 18 games this season and has seen some action as a starter. The 6'0 guard is averaging over four points per game for Peru and is an excellent free throw shooter. He had 17 points, a career best at Peru, in the Bobcats' first win of the season; a 68-67 thriller at Concordia last Nov·. 20:·

HaAny has been a starter ever since coming to Peru. His 6'6 frame was used at center last season and much of this season, but he has been able to play more at forward thanks to the continued improvement of 6'9 freshman Kip Allison.

Hajny is Peru's most productive scorer this season and is averaging better than 11 points per game. His strongest suit, however, is rebounding. He already stands number seven on Peru's all-time rebounding chart, and should m.0ve up to number six by season's /end. His 10.4 average per game is second in District 11 this season, and his career rebounding average is over 10 per game, fourth best in Peru history.

Hajny was named to the Nebraska College Conference al I-conference team last season, and was selected to play in the District 11 all-star game at Kearney last year. He scored six points in that contest, which was won by the Nebraska College Conference 125-121 over the NIAC. Hajny is a likely candidate for that contest again this season, which is set for Kearney's Cushing Coliseum on March 17.

Season ends on road·

The Bobcats will finish the 1980 basketball season on the road to Kearney State Feb. 18, and Dana College Feb. 23. The Bobcats lost to both teams earlier this year at home. The Kearney Antelopes topped the Cats 87-54 and the Dana Vikings own a 76-68 decision.

Both opponents are currently atop their respective conferences-Kearney State in Peru's own Nebraska College Conference and Dana in the Nebraska Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. Both are likely candidates to the District 11 playoffs, the winner of which represents District 11 in the NAIA national basketball tournament next month in Kansas City, so the Bobcats have a chance to play

the "spoiler" role.

Kearney State is always a . formidable foe for the Bobcats and at the time of this writing the Lopers were ranked 8th in the NAIA national poll. Kearney is undefeated in the Nebraska College Conference and appears to have the championship clinched for another year.

The season for the Dana Vikings has been a surprising one including an upset victory over the Hastings College Broncos. That particular loss for Hastings was the first conference loss in 36 straight contests.

Dana, Hastings and Doane are all in the running for the Nebraska Intercollegiate Athletics Conference championship.

Lady cagers close season

The Lady Cagers conclude their regular season with two home games against the College of Saint Marys Feb. 15, and Nebraska Wesleyan University, the 18th. CSM beat Peru 59-50 earlier this year in Omaha and Wesleyan topped the Cats 66-38 in a game played at Lincoln. Peru trailed NWU 27-26 in the first meeting this season and were outscored 40-11 in the second half. The Cats will try to play a complete game in the second meeting and pick up a victory for two se.niors who will ,· be playing their final home ' game for Peru. Seniors Karen Lechner and Renee Cheney will finish their basketball careers when the Lady Cats compete in the State AIA W Basketball Tournament, Feb. 22-24.

The women's basketball team fell to Chadron State by 61-50 at Chadron last Saturday.

Peru State shot a good 36 per cent from the court but hit only six of .17 free throws for 43 per cent. The 'Cats did outrebound their hosts by 32-25. The loss moved Peru State to 1-17 on the year.

Renee Cheney, senior foward from Palmyra, scored 19 to lead Peru State, and she added six , rebounds. Julie Brinkman, junior center from Palmyra, led Peru rebounders with 10.

Lorri Curnes, freshman forward, performed impressively in only her seventh appearance since joining the squad. Curnes hit five of nine field goals and two of two free shots for 12 points. Jackie Nixon, sophomore guard, was limited to six points on the night, well below her 14-point average. Two seniors, Renee Cheney and Karen Lechner, will make their final home appearances of their careers against Wesleyan on Feb. 18.

Practice started Jan. 21 with the pitchers and catchers practicing every day while the infielders and outfielders practiced on alternating days. On Feb. 4, the entire team began practicing together daily in the gym and now is awaiting good weather so the work can be done outside·.

Gilliland announced that the first game on the Bobcat schedule would be against the Ravens of Benedictine College in Atchison, Kans., on March 13.

Returning lettermen are Mark Johnson, John Donahue, Ken Denning, Bob Parsley, Gary Parsley, Jeff Frields. Tom Milke, Kevin Niday, Jeff Schieber, Tim Woodruff and Steve Medinger. Bill Bruin and Jon Orton both lettered two years ago and are back on the team after not competing last year.

· Mark Johnson and Steve Medinger both finished high in the final NAIA rankings for their exceptional batting performances last season.

Cagers clipped

The Chadron State Eagles scored an impressive 89-74 Nebraska College Conference win over the visiting Bobcats last Saturdav. The Bobcats finish the 1979-80 season with games at Kearney State on Feb. 18 and Dana on Feb. 23.

Peru State was once again paced by freshman forward Matt Stough. The rapidly-improving North Platte native hit six of 12 shots and all four free throws for 16 points, and he added six rebounds to that. The 6-7 Stough is averaging over 10 points per game for Coach Bill Squires' crew.

Sophomore guard Jeff Smith was the only other Bobcat to reach double figures with 12 points. The 6-1 Smith, of Lincoln, pulled down a team-high seven rebounds also.

Seven other Bobcats scored in the contest. Steve Vossen had nine points and four assists; Keith McKim had eight points; Bernie Hajny had eight; Kip Allison had eight; Brett Nanninga had five; John Donahue had four; and Tom Johnson had four.

The loss left Peru at 5-18 for the season.

Brady benefit basketball

The Al Brady benefit basket-· ball game will be held March 4, at 8:00 p.m. in the old gym, said Troy Coleman, president of the P-Club.

The two teams playing will be students vs. faculty. Admission will be $1.00 for adults and 50 cents for those 12 years old and under. All proceeds, including the concessions, will go toward a scholarship for a science student with athletic ability.

Goleman said the P-Club hopes to get enough money for a continuing scholarship instead of one for just one year. "If we could get a thousand dollars, that would be great," he added.

The students' team, coached by John Donahue and Bernie Hajny, consists of Tom Milke, De;m Philipi, Jeff Frields, Bob Parsley, Kirk Ochs, Bob Peterson, Rich Neubauer, Tim Alvis, Garlan Shafer, and Al Urwin.

The faculty team hasn't been decided on as yet, but it will be coached by Dr. Leland Sherwood, said Goleman.

Tryouts .March 4-6

Tryouts for ''The Winter's Tale," by Shakespeare, will be held March 4, 7-9 p.m.; March 5, 3-5 p.m. and 7-9 p.m.; and March 6, 7-9 p.m., according to Dr. Royal Eckert, director.

"The Winter's Tale," Eckert said,. "is a tragicomedy-the first half is almost pure tragedy, and the second half is filled with comedy, songs, dancing and wenching." There are eight roles for women and 32 roles for men, he said, "but we'll ·be doubling on some parts, so the cast will be less than 40 people."

Eckert said tryouts for the play are unique in that "this is the first time a Peru Players' production (other than a musical) has been opened to residents. The decision to open the tryouts, he said, was a result of several requests by community theatre participants who "wanted a chance to do Shakespeare."

Scripts for "The Winter's Tale" may be picked up in the _ Fine Arts Building, room 106, anytime befm:e tryouts, Eckert said. The cast list will be posted Friday morning, March 7, and rehearsal begins the following Sunday.

Senate rejects waiver

by Jim Anderson

The Student Senate unamiously voted to reject the controversial student liability waiver in its present form at their Feb. 13 meeting.

President Larry Tangeman, speaking on behalf of the waviers; said that he was hurt that students felt the administration was trying to put something over on them.

The waiver attempts to release the college, "the State of Nebraska, and respective employed representatives of each from all claims for liability and injury incurred by accident or otherwise that might occur during the field trip-activity ," as stated in the waiver.

Tangeman said that since the waivers are not legally binding, the real purpose would be to make student stop and think about their own responsibilities before participating in such events. He said that if this were to be stated on the form the waiver would "lose its charactei;."

Amotion that the waiver in its present form not be approved by the Senate passed unamimously.

PSC - a bargain

by Deb Moore

In view of the Nebraska State College Board of Trustees' recent decision to raise tuition and the unfavorable responses of students that have followed, I would like to point out that Peru's tuition has gone up only 28.6 percent in the last ten years, while tuition at other area colleges has risen at least twice that much.

For example, tuition increases at the following colleges over the last decade have been: Doane College, 125 percent; University of Nebraska at Lincoln, 60 percent; Concordia Teachers College, 111 percent; and Tarkio College, 48.6 percent.

The above figures are somewhat misleading in that private colleges don't receive the state subsidies picked up by UNL, UNO and the four state colleges, and are forced to increase tuition more. Also, a more valid comparison of costs would be made by including the increase in room, board and fees at these institutions.

However, incomplete and informal as it is, this comparison does give us something positive to consider about Peru at a time when most students seem content with complaining about their college rather than trying to improve the things they dislike about it.

Honor among students ? Help wante

TO THE EDITOR

I want to commend the article "Student Cites Poor Communication" in the Feb. 8 PED for pointing out how much the students actually had ·to say about the change of "honor roll" requirements and how much they knew about the change after it was made.

Who are the people of the Academic Affairs Commission to decide what is an "honor." for a student and what is not? Who are they to take away one of the few honors on campus that is almost solely determined by

each student's academic ability and effort? Not only do they take away the honor but they make it an arbitrary 1O per cent of the students-not a specific GPA that can be achieved by every student. Why even try when it is limited to a certain number of students? Some change may be all right, but for an "8" (or 90-94 per centl to go from high distinction to not being "honorable" is not right.

Brady-exceptional prof

by Lori Last

Albert Brady has been an exceptional teacher at Peru State College for many years. His background, as well as his present day life are also exceptional.

Brady graduated from Kimball High School, in South Dakota, in 1936. He then went on to earn his B.S. in Education at Northern State Teachers College in South Dakota.

Brady served in WWII for three years, being stationed at Africa, Corsica and Italy. "He was one of the first to go into the

war," comments Lyle McKercher, instructor at PSC, and long time friend of Brady.

Following the war, he studied and received his Master's Degree in 1949 from the University of South Dakota in Zoology and Botany. In 1955, Brady taught at General Beadle State Teachers College <S.D.), and was an instructor at Madison high school, South Dakota.

Brady, and his wife Gerry were married in 1951 and moved to Peru in 1957 where Brady began to teach.

Ensemble tour ends

The PSC Symphonic Wind>' Ensemble finished their annual tour of Southeast Nebraska with a performance at Southeast Community College in Fairbury.

Under the direction of Dr. David M. Edris, the ensemble played before audiences at Wilber High School, Geneva High School, Table Rock High School, Hebron High School and Southeast Community College, Fairbury.

Opportunities for the adventureous

Have you ever wanted to sail the South Pacific, climb mountains in Alaska, dig for pre-historic man in India, or trace the route of Marco Polo through China? Expedition Research, Inc., has launched a campaign to register adventureminded college students who are looking to join expeditions.

Expedition Research, Inc., a placement service for adventurers and explorers, is now accepting applications from college students, photographers, scuba divers, mountain climbers, archaeologists, ocean sailors, scientists, and other explorers who want to be placed on various scientific and exploratory expeditions worldwide.

Over 100 expeditions have approached ERI for team members. These projects range from archaeological excavations to Himalayan mountaineering, from oceanographic surveys and' cave exploration to scientific investigations on all six continents. Some expeditions award salaries, commissions, and royalties to team members; others require cost sharing. Expeditions last from several days to several months.

Students, either undergraduate or graduate, are in demand. They gain field experience by working with professors and scientists involved in their field of study. "One interesting fact we have discovered," says Jim Stout, Co-Director of the Firm, "is that many people are not aware of the number of exploratory and research oriented projects that are being formed each year. We receive requests for ERI members to join expeditions weekly."

Expedition Research, the brainchild of two experienced mountaineers, was formed on the premise that there are

thousands of adventurers around the world who would like to put their talents and interests to use in the field, but who do not know how to go about it. ERI provides a service not. only to these individuals, but to the groups who are looking for them. The firm assists leaders of expeditions in their search for sponsorship, funding, and equipment, as well as team members.

· Requests for members in the last month include an array of expeditions open to college students: •·

-Little Cayman Expedition: marine botany in the Caribbena, with SCUBA instruction. Sponsored by the Expedition Training Institute.

-Jericho Excavation Project: archaeological dig near Jerusalem. Sponsored by the Israel Exploration Society.

Mountaineering Expedition to Dhaulagiri I: climb of the sixth highest mountain in the world. Sponsored by the American Alpine Club.

-Wildlife Study in Kenya: behavioral study of African wildlife in July and August. Sponsored by the University of Delaware.

-Circimnavigation of the Globe: an American team sets out to sail around the world. Sponsored by Women at the Helm.

Expeditions registered with ERI have been endorsed by such organizations as the Explorers Club, National Geographic Society, the National Speleological Society, the Smithsonian Institution, various universities, and outing clubs.

Chris White, a Princeton University biologist, and Jim Stout, a geographer from the University of Washington, are co-directors of the firm. White explains that "there is a terrific need for people with interests

ranging froni archaeology, to scuba diving, to zoological research."

ERI members receive monthly issues ofEXPLORATION, a newsletter which lists expedition opportunities and summer and career job opportunities in the outdoors. ERI members are offered positions with scientific institutions, research vessels, commercial trip operators, and outdoor leadership schools.

Registrants also receive resume forms which are placed on file to fill urgent requests. Resumes are cross-indexed and computer-coded to facilitate fast retrieval.

Registration with ERI costs $15 per year for students ($20 regular). Registrants receive monthly issues of EXPLORATION, resume forms, and.a 20 per cent mail order discount on outdoor equipment ordered through Eastern Mountain Sports.

Students may register by sending $15 to Expedition Research, Inc., P.O. Box 467R, Cathedral and Franklin Streets, Annapolis, Maryland 21404, or write for further information.

"The tour performances allow students an opportunity to perform before a variety of audiences, and gives audiences a chance to hear the broad spectrum of music which bands are capable of performing," Edris said.

The PSEA organization began an award for the teacher of the year in 1959. Being considered one of PSC's top teachers, Brady was given the first award. He went on to win the award once more in the years that followed. Brady has been awarded several National Science Foundation Grants to various universities around the country:

The Brady bunch has three children: Dennis, who teaches Biology at Auburn Junior High; Barbara Beatty, a second grade teacher at Kansas City.; and Carol, a sophomore here at PSC, majoring in Health and Physical Education. In addition to a busy home life, Mrs. Brady has worked in the registar's office for 14 years.

"Albert is very community and school minded," stated McKercher. He has been very active in numerous community activities as well as PSC clubs, faculty organizations and offices. Albert is well known and respected by teachers at PSC an.ct in the surrounding areas," said McKercher.

Brady's favorite hobby is raising tropical fish. "He always encourages studing fish and he. used to give free fish to students and teachers for enjoyment," said Dr. Daryl Long, science instructor at PSC. "Whenever a faculty team was to play a game, it was understood or taken for granted that Albert would be the faculty's coach,"

he added. ·

Since Brady's stroke last February;' he has made considerable improvement, said Mrs: Brady. Three times a week a speech therapist comes to their home and Brady goes to a physical therapist in Auburn.

To honor Brady, a benefit basketball game between the P-Club and the PSC faculty will be played on March 4, with the proceeds going to a scholarship in Brady's name.

Students are also invited to attend several demonstrations on the art and techniques of glassblowing. Several demonstrations are scheduled for the basement of the Fine Arts Building: Sunday, 1 p.m. and again · following the slide presentation; Monday, March 3, 9 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., and 1p.m. to 1:30 p.m.

The workshop is being presented by the Art Department through the Visiting Celebrities Program.

P-c\ub smoker

The fifth annual P-Club boxing smoker is scheduled for March 11, said Troy Coleman, P-Club president. Starting time is set for 7: 30 p,m, in the college gymnasium.

Twelve bouts are tentatively planned but more boxers are still being sought to fill the roster. Each fighter is scheduled to go three rounds lasting one and a half minutes each.

Those interested in boxing should call Coleman at 872-6145 or contact any P-Club member before March 8th.

There will be a special wrstling rematch during intermission; pitting the "Masked Cricket" against the "Mole." This pair delighted fans last year with their own version of all-star wrestling.

Tickets will be $2 in advance and $2.50 at the door. Advanced tickets may be obtained from any P-Club member and will go on sale Feb. 28.

The P-Club will rent a regulation boxing ring for the fights, according to Jerry Joy, club sponsor. All proceeds go toward buying new letter jackets and letter blankets.

"This is about our best fund raiser," commented Joy. "We are hoping for about 11 or 12 bouts, but right now we only have three or four signed up. People want to wait and sign up after they see who else is boxing."

Stratton family well traveled

by Gwynne Conley

If you 're already familiar. with the English department at PSC, or plan to take some English courses in the future, Dr. Russell Stratton may be one of your instrudors.

Stratton came to Peru with his wife, Dana, who works in the PSC printing office. They have one son. Scott.

The Strattons have done a great deal of traveling. "I traveled first of all in the Navy," said Stratton. "But my family has a history of traveling. My mother was born in New Zealand, and later immigrated to the United States." His family them moved to Hawaii in the late 1930's.

Shortly after his marriage, Stratton and his wife went to Singapore, where they both taught at an American school.

Further travel took them to parts of Malasia, Hong Kong, and once around the world.

When asked if he would continue traveling Stratton replied, "It's easier now to look for a place to settle down at my age, though I'd like to continue traveling." His immediate plans are to put down roots which he hopes will lead to success.

Stratton received his doctorate last year. When asked why he chose Peru, he said, "The liberal arts <English among them) are difficult places to find jobs at any college. So when Peru took an interest in both me and my wife, we thought it sufficient enough to make the move."

"We saw the beauty of the college, the number of good students, and opportunity for lots of rewarding experiences. We've bought a house and are fixing it up," said Stratton.

"However, we've had to make an adjustment in our lifestyle that is about as challenging as our move to the Far East!"

Stratton said that life in a small community does take a great deal of adjustment if one is. used to living in a larger town.

"If you're a 'do-it-yourselfer,' you're in business," he said. Though he h(!s taught in a number of private schools, he is not hampered by the fact that some students require more help than others in reading and writing skills. He greatly stresses the use of individualized help.

Stratton is working with Dr. Jack Hytrek, director of the Teaching and Learning Center, and currently they are in the process of gathering books, and other materials that will aid in remedial reading and writing.

"We anticipate having more tutors in English next fall," said Stratton. He added that the growth and continuation of the program will depend on help from the faculty members.

"My feeling is th'at writing a composition is a declining art, not only at Peru, but all over the place," said Stratton. He added that he would like to see all faculty members taking part in this type of project, as writing is something that should be taken into consideration outside the English department. He said that writing is of vital importance to education of any kind.

When asked, Sratton said that he would like to stay on for awhile, and perhaps start some writing workshops of his own on campus.

Although interested in writing workshops, Stratton's speciality is Medieval English. He and his wife are currently working on an adult coloring book of "The Canterbury Tales" which they hope to publish.

The new positions include: two or more senators-at-large, one senator from Davidson-Palmer, one from Nicholas-Pate and Oak Hill, and two representing commuters and off-campus residents.

Both proposals received first round approval and must be approved again at the next Senate meeting before they become effective.

The Senate then voted to send a letter to the faculty 'recommending that they vacate the seldom used room. They then voted to hold their next meeting in. the lounge, which is located upstairs in the Student Center. Included in the motion was an amendment stating that if the faculty won't allow this, the Senate will hold all of its meetings out in the hall in front of the lounge doors.

In other business the Senate decided not to allocate funds to other student organizations .for the '79-80 academic year.

Tickets issued

"We are giving out tickets for parking violations," said Linda Myers, maintenance secretary. Effective last October parking areas came under four categor· ies. They are faculty parking, on'<!ampus parking, and commuter parking.

Faculty and staff no longer have specified parking places. Students who drive to campus from the complex must park in the parking area west of Morgan Hall if they want to avoid being ticketed.

Fines for violations are: one dollar for parking in the wrong area, ten dollars for not having a proper parking sticker, and two dollars for failure to obtain a temporary permit when driving a vehicle other than the one normally used at school.

Myers added that in Nebraska it is legal for the college to ticket a car every half hour. If a vehicle is parked in a service area or loading zone for loading or unloading purposes only, it will not be cited if it is moved within a reasonable amount of time, which is about half an hour.

The revenue from parking violations goes into the PSC general fund.

Glassblowing workshop

Sculptor and glassblower Raymond Schultze demonstrates the finer points of glassblowing during his three day workshop. The workshop, held Mar. 2, 3, and

4, was open to students and presented by the Art Department through the Visiting Celebrities Program.

Dr. Barrett explained that all academic programs are reviewed every two years, and that "when a program comes up for · review it's tabbed as approved, probationary or disapproved. The mass communications program was reviewed this year and given a stamp of probationary," he said.

A "probationary" stamp means there are some questions about the program and that the .division concerned '!should get

to work on it," Barrett said. The program is then reviewed again in one year and a final decision of approved or disapproved is made, he said. Barrett said the decision to make the program probationary came after a departmental recommendation made to the Academic Affairs Commission. "The program wasn't having a lot of drawing power," he said, "and there was also a feeling that we're hamstrung in mass communications without a more complete radio set-up." The possibility of going to a 100-watt radio station, which would aid in revitalizing the program, is poor because of the resources and funds required, he said.

Another thing Pippert thinks we're going to find is more cures for mental illnesses through the use of chemicals.

Wood fires may pollute

Fireplaces and wood-burning stoves are everywhere in Peru these days. The pollution they create is now being measured.

One of the first studies on the subject, done in Portland, Oregon, found that pollutants from wood-burning accounted for more than one-thi1.1d of the particulates in the air on a cold winter day. This !\igh level, say the researchers, may be typical of many .areas where wood is being used as a residential energy source

"The findings are of particular concern because emissions from these sources are inhaled deeply into the ·lungs, contain carcinogenic compounds, and significantly reduce visibility," says Professor John A. Cooper the_ Oregoµ Graduate Center

Anthony Nebelsick, tenor from Nebraska City, sang "There Is a Lady Sweet and Kind" and "The Countryman," with Dr. Thomas Ediger as accompanist;

"Peru Days"

"Peru Days," a seminar to aquaint prospective students with the programs offered at Peru, was held Feb. 16 in Omaha, and Feb. 23 in Lincoln. Photographs of Peru State's early history were exhibited, along with examples of Paul Fell's award-winning editorial cartoons and a water color exhibit by Dr. Leland Sherwood. Also on display were projects from the industrial and applied arts, and game films from last year's Bobcat teams. Members of the faculty were also on hand to answer questions.

Dr. Royal Eckert, associate professor of drama and speech at Peru, agreed on the mass communications program's limited popularity. There are currently only four students majoring in mass communications and three who list it as a supporting field, Eckert said, and they are. all freshmen and .sophomores.

"In the past five years I've been here, I don't think we've graduated anyone in mass communications," Eckert said. The only student now close to graduating in the program will probably complete graduation requirements by next spring, before a final decision about the program is made.

Eckert also agreed that Peru's radio and television facilities would have to be improved to make the mass communications program valid. "I don't think we have the facilities or the faculty to prepare a student in mass communications anymore," he said. "For example, Omaha Technical High School has 11 radio stations and three television studios-Peru has one of each working."

If the Academic Affairs Commission does decide to disapprove the program at the end of the one year probationary period, Eckert said, the only course that would probably be discontinued altogether is Television Production. The other courses are generally offered under other programs and would be continued, he said.

in Beaverton. "Wood smoke contributions to air pollution are likely to increase rapidly over the next few years as costs of · alternate energy forms increase, and the use of wood is encouraged by federal and state governments. In addition, exposure to wood smoke is expected to increase as the use of wood is extended to include both water and space heating over a greater portion of the heating season."

Although coal emits more sulfur and cancer-causing agents, a radioactive element is present in wood smoke-radiocarbon-tha t is not present in smoke from fossil fuel sources. If allowed to grow uncontrolled, emission from burning wood could become a significant health hazard, Dr. Cooper says.

She assisted in practices by running drills, working In groups and organizing drills.

At the beginning of the season she had to scrimmage when there were only nine players out for the team. Refereeing is another job that she did to allow Coach Crume more time to watch the girls individually at practices.

When asked if there are problems being assistant coach, Debbie replied, "Yes, there are a few. Sometimes fellow students look at me as a player and not a coach as we are s() close in age. Sometimes they take my comments personally but usually they understand that I am making them from a coaches point of view."

Debbie cited communication between coach and players as an advantage of student-assistant coaching. ''I can see things that Coach Crume may not and understand some game situations as I was in the same spot last year."

One girl was chosen by each Division II team to represent her school in the freethrow contest, held during halftime. Of the nine girls, three tied for first Friday night, Feb. 22.

The three finalists were Kathy Wier of Kearney, Barb· Hart of U.N.O. and Grinstead from Peru. Kim's 20 out of 25 baskets the first night gave her a chance at the championship trophy at the "shoot out" the next night.

On Saturday, Kim shot 19 out of 25 freethrows and won first place. She was awarded the trophy from the NAIAW (Nebraska Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women).

"Smoker" fires up

The "P" club is still seeking boxers to participate in the annual college smoker set for Tuesday, Mar. 11, according to Troy Goleman, "P" club president.

Schaefer's responsibilities as Assistant Coach for Peru included: making substitutions during games, keeping track of fouls, spotting the offenses and defenses of opponents and watching for players who look tired.

During practices Schaefer and Squires sometimes split the drill duties. Scott also assisted in recruiting for next year.

PSC "should have a respectable team next· year with a large nucleus of players returning from this year's squad who saw considerable playing time," said Schaefer.

"Recruiting will also be a point for the Bobcats to build upon," he added. He said that Peru will have separate juniorvarsity and varsity teams next year.

"The new Sports Center should be another positive factor because more than one practice may be carried on at a time," Schaefer said.

Although several amateurs have been signed, more boxers are needed to fill the card, Goleman said. Participants need not have any previous boxing experience, and will be grouped according to weight and experience, he added.

The smoker has traditionally been one of the most exciting and popular spring events on campus. A card of 12 to 15 fights

is hoped for, Golemon said. Fighters will square off for three rounds, with the first round lasting two minutes and> the last two rounds going a minute and a half. Qualified boxing officials will oversee the matches, Golemon said. Anyone interested in partidpa ting is asked to contact. Goleman, phone 872-6165. Tick- · ets can be ordered through Goleman at that number, or can be purchased from any "P" club member on campus. Ticket prices are $2. 00 in advance, $2.50 at the door.

Women's track takes shape

Women's track began Feb. 25 under Coach Marta Crume. · Coach Crume said there are eight women on the roster this season.

Track members include: Rita Adams, sprinter; Dawn Bloomberg, long jumper and sprinter; Denise Dominic, sprinter; Roxie Fischer, sprinter; Ronda Schroeder, discus and shot put; Joni Vrtiska, sprinter; Brenda Wilkinson, distance runner and hurdler; and Julie Woodard, discus and shot put.

The new track should be an asset to the program and outdoor practice will be more beneficial once the weather improves.

employees (i.e., faculty and administrators) that hold doctorate degrees more than quadrupled from the 1940-41 academic year to the 1979-80 academic year. Currently 94 per cent of the entire professional staff have at least master's degrees compared to 72 per cent in the 1940-41 academic year and in the 1952-53 year. In 1960-61, the per cent rose to 82 per cent and in 1969-70 1t rose to 92 per cent.

Dr. Clyde Barrett, Vice-President of Academic Affairs, described the significance of this increase in educational level of the professional employees. "Our Students are being exposed today- to a staff more skilled and knowledgeable in the academic discipline.

"The higher incidence of doctorates indicates to students and the general public that PSC maintains the kind of standards that has come to be expected of quality institutions of higher education." He added that it puts PSC in the mainstream of higher education relative to the formal education requirements of teaching faculties.

"Another plus is that it insures that the disciplines at PSC are staffed by faculty with academic training commensurate with the academic training held by comparable faculties in the other college's within our system."

Barrett also said this puts PSC in a good position for accreditation purposes for both regional and national accreditating associations and for program accreditating associations.

Senator explains responsibilitie

by Kevin A. Casey

I doubt that most PSC students know who is representing them in the Senate. I often hear students with legitimate gripes complain but when I ask them why they don't take their grievances to their Student Senator, they look at me as though they had never heard of such an animal.

The duty of a Student Senator is to represent the best interests of his or her constituency. It is a-lso the responsibility 6f a Senator to make sure that his constituency knows who he or she is, and what, if anything, he or she is doing on the Senate. I have been lax in this as a Senator, because the idea qid not occur to me until it was too late.

To my constituents, I extend my apologies.

The duty of the Student Senate is to act in the best interests of the student body. This is where the Senate comes away with egg on it's face. Joe Primm, with all due respect, considers the Senate to be a liaison between the student body and administration. I disagree. His concept implies that the Senate merely reviews administrational standards and policies, and this. concept weakens the effectiveness of the Senate. By promoting the idea of Senate as liaison, Mr. Primm inadvertently promotes Student Senators into thinking in .that mode. It has rendered the Senateineffective (which, I have feeling, is acceptable to the administration).

Vending machines abused

To the students at PSC:

The vending machines on campus .have been taking a lot of needless abuse lately-<!ausing extra work and expense. We have worked with the administration to provide you with these services, but sometimes it seems that no one cares about it. We've overextended ourselves trying to keep everything going smoothly, and keep everyone happy-but all this may have to end soon.

tions, maybe we can work this out before any drastic measures have to be taken.

Basically, all I'm asking for is a little consideration. The vending equipment is there for your use, not for you to take your frustrations out on.

Rae Osenbaugh

Old West Vending

The Student Senate is weakened by the process of electing Senators for one year at a time. The term should be for two years. It is difficult for a Senator to become acquainted with the workings of the Senate;. and become an effective member in one year.

In the first place, there is too much inner conflict between Senators. I have seen a Senatoi; vote against a proposal because another Sena tor he did not like favored the proposal. That is no. way to get anyting done. I have also seen a Sena tor vote against an important issue just because he did· not agree with the Parlimentary Procedure used on voting the issue.

It is time for the Student Senate to truly represent the best interests of the student body, and stop playing Romper Room. We must stop backing' down when confronted by someone of "higher authority." In this coming election, it is vital that we vote wisely and thoughtfully, and elect people who are not "yes-men" or cowed into giving in when someone gets tough with the Senate.

The problems I have outlined are only the tip of the iceberg. Perhaps our next Senate will begin to promote the interests of students, rather than dilute the power of the Student Senate.

I've always had the impression tllat co1lege students were supposed to be responsible adults, able to cope with the world, without resorting to childish (and costly) pranks. But, I'm finding out how wrong I was as more and more of our equipment is broken or damaged.

Our problems started during Thanksgiving vacation when the snack machine in Delzell was broken into. Since then, we've had broken equipment in Morgan, Clayburn, the Gym, the Education Building, and additional problems in Delzell.

Grads praise PSC

Peru State College remains effectiv,e in preparing its students for employment or for future graduate and professional school study, according to a 1979 survey of PSC graduates recently released by Don Schultze, the college's placement director.

"Most graduates felt very satisfied with their major field of preparation and indicated satisfaction with the general studies program," the report·states.

The PSC library received the highest marks form alumni

concerning general services, that are provided by the college. Also praised was the financial aid office and faculty academic advisirig. ·

The survey was conducted.in the early fall of 1979 and consisted of sending a two-page questionnaire with a cover letter to all 1978-79 graduates. Followup letters were sent to those who failed to respond to the initial questionnaire. Fifty-nine per cent responded to the questionnaire.

Senate discusses prof it

by Lori Last

Ninety dollars profit was reported from door intake at the Mr. Sulu program, sponsored by the Student Senate. Both negative and positive feedback of the program was discussed at last week's meeting of the Student Senate. Mr. Sulu was sponsored by the Senate.

The Academic Affairs meeting held on February· 28, was then discussed. A student wanted to take extra hours, over the standard over load hours. The request was denied, but. the classes will be offered this summer so the student can take the classes and still graduate as planned.

The Screening Committee for the Board of Trustees Rep. Selection was announced. Members are Joe Primm, present Board of Trustees member; Tammy Riddle and Karen Coover, Student Senate members; Rick Leibert, Lori Berg, Joel Rickert as Student BQdy representatives.

The Senate members will be passing out pamphlets which ask the students to save energy. People can pledge that they will conserve an average of two gallons of gasoline per week for the next 52 weeks.

The Senate also discussed their position on the rate hikes of health, room and board fees for next semester.

London bound

A tour of London will begin Mar.14 and last seven days. The trip was arranged by Dr. Charles Harper, professor of speech and drama.

· Harper said 29 persons, faculty, students, and others, will leave from Omaha via United Airlines to Chicago and fly non-stop to London from there. The tour, he said, is not rigidly scheduled as are most others. He said that those taking part will be on their own, as far as sight-seeing, from the time of their arrival in London.

Harper said he began planning the trip last year, contacting the Van Duling travel agency of Lincoln, who set it up according to his specifications. The tl:ip will cost about $750 per person, including air fare, hotel accommodations, full English breakfasts, and a London sight-seeing tour.

Scott speaks on coping

Syndicated newspaper columnist Niki Scott spoke at PSC on Wednesday, March 12, in the PSC College Auditorium.

Author of the column, "Working Women," which appears locally in the Omaha World-Herald, Scott presented a program titled "Coping with the problems which arise when women enter the work force."

She is a full-time housewife, a part-time working mother, and at one time, a single parent working full-time to support her two sons.

Scott's column has brought out ideas, commentary and how-todo,it advice that's passed the test of actual usage in her life.

She writes for today's woman who, while working due to economic necessity or a desire for a rewarding career, continually feels the pull of her family on her time and efforts.

In addition to her column, Scott has written two books and is a contributing editor to McCall's Working Mother Magazine.

She is a former newspaper reporter, assistant editor and feature writer who presently writes out of her Mt. Desert Island (Maine) home for Universal Press Syndicate. Her appearance at PSC was made possible through the Visiting Celebrities Program.

Golf program expands

by Darrell Wellman

The new PSC golf program begins this year with four men and three women signed up thus far, but these numbers may increase as weather improves and more persons become aware of this golfing opportunity.

Golf Coach Erv Pitts said that there have not been any organized practices yet as everyone is waiting for Spring. Some practice will be carried out on the ball diamond and the golfers will compete on either the Auburn or Nebraska City golf courses.

Men who have shown an interest thus far are freshmen: Jay Knaak; Brad Kreifels of Syracuse and Raymond Drake of Superior; and sophomore Tim Hendrick of Falls City.

The three freshmen women who have signed. up are Shelly Martin of Lexington; Linda Lovenburg of Falls City and Mary Pickering of Nebraska City.

With the smal I numbers of prospective students signed up now, Coach Pitts says it is really difficult to tell just how far the program wiM go in its first year. He also adds that there is always room for more participants.

Track takes off

Men's track

PSC's largest and most-talented men's track team in years is gearing up for the 1980 outdoor track season. The Bobcats open at the Central Missouri State Invitational at Warrensburg on April 1.

Coach Gary Thompson has a 17-man roster in his first season at Peru State. Peru State's track team, somewhat unique in the fact that it has no home mee.ts nor dual meets (and hasn't for years); expects to be. a factor in it's eight-meet schedule.

The Bobcat track team, despite the large will be young and in collegiate competition Four lettermen return, but there are • no seniors on the squad.

Keith McKim, sophomore high jumper, earned a letter last year and set the school high jump record at 6-6, and will be looking to up that mark this season.

Bill Sell, junior distance runner, also earned a letter last season. He is one of the most dedicated athletes on the squad and trains year-round.

Joe Waters, junior sprinter, .was on last year's squad, as was sophomore sprinter and relay man Norman Parish.

Everyone else is new to the track team, though many athletes participate on Bobcat football or basketball teams. Juniors on the squad include Raji Ansari, distance runner, Roosevelt Brown, sprinter and relay man; and Marvin McGill, sprinter and relay man.

Sophomore thinclads include Terry Hinkle, pole vaulter, and Mark Wardian, javelin thrower.

Freshmen include Bob Auxier, 440 and relays; Maverick Davis, hurdle and relay man; Brett Nanninga, hurdles and 880;-Mike Northrup, distance runner; Mark Tillman, hurdle and relay man; Kenneth White, hurdle and relay man; Albert Williamson, sprints and relays; and Lynn Woolfolk, 880 and relays.

Benefit rescheduled

The Al Brady Benefit basketball game scheduled for March 4 was postponed due to the weather. The fund raiser in honor of the former Peru State professor has been rescheduled for Monday, March 24 at 8 p.m. in the college gym.

Experience and talent keys

Experience and talent-two key ingredients to a winning team-are two reasons why expectations about the 1980 Peru State baseball team are running high. / The Bobcats open the season March 25 at Bellevue, and open at home against Nebraska Wesleyan on March 27.

Coach Terry Gilliland, who guided the 'Cats to a 10-19-1 record iii his first season at the Peru helm last year, has 14 lettermen to work with. Given that talent and an expanded 36-game schedule, the Bobcats could threaten the school record for most victories. Al Wheeler's 1962 Bobcats posted 15 wins against seven losses.

Medinger, Johnson-Record Holders

Women's· track

The 1980 Peru State women's track team is undergoing a building season under first-year Coach Marta Crume. The squad opens their outdoor season April 1 at the Central Missouri State Invitational at Warrensburg.

Seven women are working out in preparation for their eightmeet schedule, though more may join the team in the near future. As has been the case in recent years, thE; Lady Bobcats will participate in no duals or home meets.

Rita Adams, sophomore sprinter from Omaha, is the lone returning letterwinner on the squad. She is on. the Peru relay team also.

Julie Woodard, shot and discus thrower from Sutherland, is the only senior out for track, but her senior ranking is deceptive. This is the first season she has participated in intercollegiate track, and saw her first competition at the recent Kearney Indoor Invitational.

Joni Vrtiska, sprinter from Beatrice, is the lone junior on the team and is a transfer student. She is also a member of the relay team

Mark Johnson

Sophomores on the team include Dawn Bloomberg, a long jumper from Bellevue; Denice Dominic, sprints and relays, from Omaha; and Roxi Fischer, sprints and relays, from Sterling.

Ronda Schroeder, shot and discus thrower from Liberty, is the only freshman on the team: She suffered a finger injury on her first throw in her first collegiate meet at Kearney on Feb. 29 but will be ready when the outdoor season begins on · April 1.

legiate Athletics last season, Mark Johnson and Steve Medinger, highlight the 23-man Peru roster. Both seniors are potential All-Americans, providing both they and the squad live up to expectations.

Johnson, a 6-1, 195-pound first baseman from Columbus, Ohio, is a three-year letterman whose .446 average in 1979 was fourteenth in the NAIA. He has a career batting average of .399, and holds three single-season and four· career hitting records at Peru State.

Medinger, a 6-0, 190-pound outfielder from Alma, is also a three-year letterman, and was second-teain Academic AllAmerican last season. He led the nation's small colleges in runs-batted-in last season with 51 RBI's in 30 games for a per-game average of 1.70. ·He was second in home runs with 14 in 30 games for an average of 0.46 per game. Medinger owns three single-season school batting records. Medinger owns a career batting average of .364.

Returning Lettermen

Ken Denning, 5-10, 175-pound senior third baseman from Lakewood, Colo., is back to pick up his fourth baseball letter at Peru State. The sure-handed infielder batted .346 in 1978, but his average slipped to .276 last season after an injury. His injury appears healed this season, and he is looking forward to his final season at Peru State.

Kevin Niday, 6-2, 200-pound junior outfielder and pitcher from Wymore, is another returning veteran. Niday batted .258 last season, was the team co-leader in stolen bases with 10, and hit five home runs. He carried a 1-3 pitching record last season.

John Donahue, a 6-0, 180-pound junior infielder from Hastings, brings speed and experience to the Bobcat infield. Donahue batted .214 last year, was the team co-leader in steals with 10, and hit three home runs. Jeff Frields, 6-0, 180-pound sophomore outfielder from East Alton, IL. is back this season. He batted .226 for the Bobcats last season.

Tom Milke, a 5-8, 140-pound senior pitcher and second baseman, will be seeking his third letter in a Bobcat uniform. Gary Parsley, 5-9, 145-pound sophomore outfielder from Hampton, further strengthens the experience in the outfield.

Two Bobcats are listed as lettermen but sat out last season. Jon Orton, 6-0, 195-pound senior catcher from Nebraska City, batted .294 for Peru State in 1978. Bill Bruhn, 6-2, 210-pound senior outfielder from Verdon, was a sure-handed outfielder on that 1978. team.

Pitching Staff Improves

Though the pitching staff is "vastly improved" over last season, it remains a question mark for Coach Gilliland. Tim Woodruff, a 6-0, 160-pound letterman from Nebraska City, was Peru's only pitcher with a winning record (2-1) last season. Bob Parsley, a 5-10, 165-pound senior letterman from Hampton, had a 2-2 record last season and is back. Jeff Schiebur, a 6-3, 210-pound junior letterman from Sterling, was Peru's third most-active pitcher last spring and is being heavily coounted on this season.

In addition, non-lettermen

Steve Orton, a 6-2, 190-pound junior from Nebraska City; Chris Hutt, a 5-10, 220-pound sophomore from Tecumseh; and Steve Gibson, a 5-7. 160-pound sophomore from Althus, OK, should give the Bobcats the best staff it has seen in years.

Other squad members include senior Dave Rossell, outfielder from Omaha; sophomores Rocky Nelson, outfielder from Arlington; Jim Robb, infielder from Guide Rock; and freshmen Bob .Fuller, infielder from Omaha; Darreis Joiner, outfielder from Chicago, IL.; Chris Sluka, infielder from Milligan, and Mark Taylor, infielder from North Platte.

Admission to all Bobcat home games is free. All regular season games are seven-inning doubleheaders. An added feature this season are two home games that will be played at Auburn-Peru State vs. Wayne State on April 1 and Peru State vs. Kearney State on April 24.

Senate seeks to share lounge

by Jim Anderson

PSC President Dr. Larry Tangeman interrupted a Student Senate meeting Wednesday night and scolded Senators for what he termed "a disrespectful act against a group of people I'm sure you have respect for." Later in his office, Tangeman charged that the Senate had, without authorization, met in the Faculty Lounge in the Student Center. In reference to the Senate's use of the lounge he said, "It's going to be hard for the faculty to talk to you after this."

Senate President Joe Primm, when asked by Tangeman how the Senate got into the Lounge,

said that the door had been left unlocked that afternoon at his request. Deb McClean of ARA Food Service later said that an employee of the food service had unlocked the room to clean it after a tea had been held there.

Dr. Esther Divney, acting head of the Education Department and President of the Faculty Association, saw the Senate meeting in the room and called Dr. Tangeman at his home. Patti George and Rita Irvin, both advisors to the Senate, had refused to enter the room with the senators.

Dr: Tangeman told the Senate that they should respect the wishes of the faculty to keep the lounge for themselves, even though faculty members at this

Paulson, Nebelsick: the people's choice

The results of most of the 1980-81 Senate elections have been tabulated showing a 41 per cent voter turn-out. The ballots show that 246 students participated out of a possible 595.

Mike Paulson and Tony Nebelsick won the presidentialvice presidential ticket by a wide margin with 160 votes. Bob Davis and Chuck Mittan received 33 votes while Tina Gault and Renee Wright picked up 28.

time do not pay a yearly facility use fee as do students. He said the faculty's claim on the room is based partially on tradition and on the fact that the faculty, at one time in the 1960s, paid the same facility use fee as did .students for the use of the Student Center, plus the cost of furnishing a room planned as the Faculty Lounge.

Senator Sherry Biere told Dr. Tangeman that to date the faculty had refused to discuss sharing the lounge with the Student Senate. Dr. Tangeman said that he thought there had been communication on the issue. Tangeman said that he would try to organize a meeting between senators and faculty members as soon as possi.ble.

Faculty and Senate meet

The Faculty Association and Student Senate met Thursday to discuss the lack of communication which the Student Senate feels exists over the Faculty LQunge issue. President Tangeman presided at the meeting.

At the outset, Dr. Tangeman explained to all present the happenings on the night of March 26, when the Senate entered the Faculty Lounge.

Discussion of the faculty members present centered around both the Senate's entry to the lounge and the letter which the Senate sent to the Faculty Association.

The letter was interpreted by. the Faculty Association as an ultimatum and was referred to /at Thursday's meeting by both Paul Fell and Susan Gladstone as "the threatening letter."

Dr. Esther Divney, President of the Faculty Association, said

the executive committee of the Association felt the letter not deserving of a response, which the Senators may have taken as a lack of communication but which Paul Fell pointed out was considered to be the most effective reply.

Dr. David Pippert suggested that each group select two members, who will meet together and work out a compromise which will be acceptable to both groups. His idea was approved and the meeting was adjourned.

In a statement after the meeting Senate President Joe Primm said, "I hope to have this problem resolved before the new Senate takes over. It is also my hope that both the Faculty Association and Student Senate can solve this matter with dignity."

Biere with 149; Verdell Bohling with 141 and Jim Anderson with 136. Those Sena tors elected by write-in votes are Karen Coover with 24; Jim Brightwell with 22; Joel Richert and Chuck Mittan with 11 each.

Joe Primm, senate president said that the ballots for Dormatory Representatives and Class representatives are still being counted and will be available at a later date.

Tradition: "so hand·ed

by Becki Young Tradition.

As defined by "Webster" tradition is the "handing down of customs, practices, and doctrines something so handed down."

The arguments for retention of the Faculty Lounge solely for faculty use are partially based on tradition. The faculty is here, on the average, longer than students.

The faculty_ also paid for the furniture, drapes and paint in the room as well as paid student center fees at one time.

The room now is only used by the faculty to host guests on campus. As stated by the Senate, this arrangement would not change.

However, I know for a fact that several campus sponsored organizations have been forced to hold their meetings in less

than desirable locations on campus due to lack of space. Surely the use of this room, after hours or at a time when the room is vacent, is not taking anything away from the Faculty Association, b.ut would be encouraging and helpful to other campus groups.

Tradition. "Roget's Thesaurus" lists "oldness" in reference to tradition. Perhaps in past times economics were such that the students were able to do something nice for the faculty by establishing this "tradition," but unfortunately today my $70 yearly payment for that buildirig does not go quite as far as it used to.

As a commuter student, I'm sure that I use the student center even less than the faculty, but as a student, I have no choice in the matter, it is required that I pay that fee if I want to go to school at Peru State.

Senate letter to faculty

TO: Faculty Assoc.

I can understand faculty resentment of some of the things stated in the Senate letter, however, those words should not be taken out of context. The overall message of the letter is valid. This is not the first time the Faculty Association has been approached on this issue.

Let's not forget that while to some it is regretable, if not understandable, students sometimes tend to go off the end," but should the faculty as role models for students, go off the same.''deep end?"

Instead of. closing doors on each other, perhaps working together toward a compromise in this issue will help bring students and faculty together again.

Who knows, maybe we can establish some better traditions to hand down-perhaps the tradition of communicating and getting along with each other.

I make this comment as one who is not arguing for or against either side in the Faculty Loun·ge issue. I don't feel that what said is inconsistant with this, since both those who agree with the Student Senate on this issue and those who disagree can look down on Paulson's actions.

FROM: Student Senate

DATE: February 25, 1980

RE: Student Center Faculty Lounge

The Peru State College Student Senate has discussed and reviewed the situation relating to the faculty's use of the Student Center.

Concerns related to this situation:

1.) The Student Center is a building, built for "use" by the campus.

2.) Students pay a $35 student center fee each semester for this "use."

3.) The faculty does not pay a student center fee;

4.) A situation existsJn which other faculty organizations have more_ priority to this "use," than do individual students paying fodhis "use." (Faculty Lounge being one such arrangement)

5.) Meeting room space is severely limited for students and student related organizations.

6.) Use of the Faculty Lounge is and always has been minimal.

The Student Senate has tried to work out a situation with your organization. Since the faculty does not want to discuss this in detai.I, and our attempts as of this date have been futile, then we feel that the Faculty Association should relinquish their rights as sole "owner" of this room.

If the Faculty Association does not see fit to comply with our request, the Student Senate will take further measures to insure that the Student Center remains a campus building instead of a segregated facility. This might even entail entering the lounge and removing furniture.

It should be noted that it is not our intention to allow this issue to be pushed aside or ignored.

This letter was approved by a unanimous vote of all Senate members: Joe Primm, Renee Wright, Tony Nebelsick, Bob Davis, Dan Todd, Mike Paulson, Tina Gault, Sherry Biere, Tammy Riddle, Karen Coover, Jeff Frields and Kevin Casey.

THE PEDAGOGIAN

Managing Editor Becki Young by Norman Parish

Recently, like other students, I had the opportunity of being chased by a car while attempting to walk downtown.

The concept is simple; there are a few bad apples rotting Peru. I thought it would never spo.il me like it has some students.

As long as I have attended Peru State College, blacks and other students have been harassed when they ventured to the "orchards" of downtown Peru. I think it is time for the administration to meet with these few worms before they destroy the tree.

Moreover, I was not attacked once by that car but three times on the journey. downtown, and my roommate and I never did reach our destination. Therefore, I do not have to worry ahout becoming an alcoholic because! heard from a friend that he was also chased from the bar.

The P-Club Lettermen. defeated the Faculty team 54-52, March 24 in the Albert Brady benefit basketball game.

Six hundred and eighty dollars was raised for the event. All money raised by the contest is designated toward starting a scholarship in honor of the former Peru State. professor.

Members of the faculty team were Paul Fell, Robert Evans, Paul Kruse, Bill Squires, Richard Muth, Bill Snyder, Jack Hytrek, Steve Schupe, Terry Gilliland, John Jacobsen and Larry Pappas.

Leland Sherwood coached the team, which in previous years had been coached by Brady. Jerry Joy assisted Sherwood.

P-Club players included Kirk Ochs, Rick Neubauer, Garland Shafer, lk>b Parsley, Bob Peterson, Jeff Frields, Mark Wardian, Tim Alvis and Al Urwin. This year's coaches for the lettermen were Bobcat co-captains John Donahue and Bernie Hajny.

Steve Medinger and Bill Bruin were officials for the contest.

Since the game was played for fun there were several strange calls made by the referees. These calls seemed to occur every time the faculty needed a chance to catch up with the lettermen.

One seven shot technical foul occured when the P-club cheerleaders attacked the referees during the game. Some even felt the call was justified.

During halftime Mr. Brady was awarded a P-Club blanket and made an honorary member of the organization. He received a standing ovation from the crowd as he was introduced and presented the blanket.

The Lettermen's club had its own cheerleaders. They were Mark Petrosky, Glen Hubbard, Ben Egger, Mitch Egger and Dan King. It was obvious th!lt few of the cheerleaders were very agile and that they had very Ii ttle experience in their new undertaking. They received many cheers from the crowd and helped detain the officials on an occasion or two.

High scorers for the Lettermen were Parsley-18, Schaefer -9, Peterson-8 and Ochs-8. Leading the scoring for the Faculty :ivas Evans-17, Squires -13, Snyder-8 and Kruse -7.

Beauty _or the beast?

The squad fell 4-1 and 2-1 to Division I Creighton, a team that owns victories over the likes of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Arizona, Wyoming an_d state power Kearney.

First-year Coach Maxine Mehus has eight letterwinners and several talented newcomers to work with. The 15-member squad faces an 18-game regular season schedule and will participate in at least three tough tournaments.

One reason the Lady 'Cats are optimistic is senior shortstop Whip Wilson. Wilson, who owns 14 of 18 batting records at Peru State, has batted .390, .438, and 436 in three seasons for the 'Cats. She is an outstanding defensive player and baserunner also.

The top pitcher from last year's 11-10 team returns, but

depth is a problem. Rhonda Wright, a junior has been a standout for two seasons and owns most of the school's pitching records.

"Our pitching is not consistent yet," Mehus noted.

Back for her senior season is infielder Leda Peterson, Flaconer, N.Y. Peterson batted .393 last year, and will be a key to Peru's success. Karen Lechner, senior catcher from Syracuse, saw her batting average drop from .360 two years ago to .216 last year, but hopes to boost that average as she seeks her fourth letter.

Fran Calanni, junior infielder from Jamestown, N.Y., batted .371 last year and led Peru in stolen bases with 19. She may see some action as ,pitcher, too.

Debbie Craig, senior first baseman from Jamestown, N.Y., will be "one of the leaders" according to Mehus. She batted .219 last year, and is an outstanding defensive player.

Jackie Nixon, sophomore pitcher and infielder from

La Vista, earned a letter last season and is being counted on to give support on the mound. Newcomers make up much of the squad, and they will to a large degree determine the success of the 1980 team. One who has made "steady improvement" is Auburn sophomore Lorrie Curnes, an infielder. Mebus has high hopes for the former Auburn high school star. The catcher is one of the most important players on the field, and several are competing with_ veteran Karen Lechner for playing time. Jackie Halterman, junior from Beatrice, Kim Hill, freshman from Papillion, and Pam Rossotto, sophomore from Dunkirk, N.Y., are all capable of doing the job, though they may see more action at other positions.

Robin Barrett is a freshman pitcher and third baseman from Nebraska City who will be battling for a spot on the field, as will Carol Brady, sophomore infielder from Peru, and Joyce Myers, freshman infielder-outfielder from Auburn.

Crowd 'fires up' for annual smoKer

by Darrell Wellman

Acrowd of nearly 350 persons gathered in the PSC gym for the fifth annual P-Club Boxing Smoker March 11. There were 14 tI:iree-round bouts with a special version of all-star wrestling presented during intermission.

Referee for all bouts was Thurmond Nanotobi with judges Gary Thompson, Paul Fell and Jack Hytrek. Don Hardekoph was timer for the evening that also included a ladies fight. This may be the first time in Peru State history that two women have met in the ring.

Bout one pitted PSC students

Chris Sluka and Mike Paulson against each other. Paulson was the winner by a split

Rich Liekhus was defeated in the second fight by Jim Mullins of Sidney, Ia. Mullins dominated the match and was the victor by a unanimous decision.

Steve Saathoff and Titus (Magic) Sims squared off against each other in bout three. The first round was close but the second one belonged to Saathoff. Steve overpowered Sims and knocked him out midway. into round two.

Jerr,y Dill took a decision over Galen Kuska m match number four.

The fifth bout was closely contested all the way between Erman Mullins and Bob Auxier. The fight went the entire three rounds with Auxier winning by a split decision.

Jim Robb and Jeff Peterson, both Peru students, were paired up against each other for bout six. Peterson was victorious by a split decision.

Tim Alvis (Super Cricket Mark Ill and Jack Moles <The Mole l entertained fans again this year during intermission. Kevin Niday was referee for this special match and Tom Milke was the manager for Super Cricket IL

· There were numerous elbow drops, tosses into the turnbuckles and just plain hitting. The Mole was victorious as he dethroned the Super Cricket II to take away the world championship title. A Texas brain buster sleeper hold was the one that decided the match for the Mole.

Becky Niday and Sandy Kohel went three rounds for a new addition to. the smoker, women boxers. Although neither of them had the form of Ali the bout was close and exciting with Niday winning by a split decision in the eighth match.

Probably one of the better fights of the night was number nine that had PSC student Bill Pursley matched up with Bill Wilkens of Lincoln. Pursley fell to the mat twice the first round but came back with well placed punches in the final two rounds to win a unanimous decision over Wilkens.

Mark Petrosky and Al Urwin, Bobcat football teammates., sparred for match ten. Petrosky fqught _ga111ely the first round but Irwin .seemed to take control of the last two, winnng by a split decision.

In the eleventh fight of the evening, Steve Hotovy TKO'd Bob Blevins in the second round to stop the match early.

Mike Haney was victorious over Jerry Jacobs in the twelfth bout by a knock-out. Jacobs came out strong in the first round but seemed to tire and Haney put him away with several good punches in the next round.

Glen Hubbard was matched 3gainst John Truex and despite being outweighed and a couple inches shorter, won by a unanimous vote. Hubbard never appeared to be quite as seasoned as his opponent but was impressive with his victory in fight thirteen. In the final bout, which was an added feature, Dell Fisher defeated L. D. Vice by knocking him out in the third round.

Survey results favor draft

by Deb Moore

In a recent survey conducted by PSC student Shirley Rothell, the majority of the respondents favored reinstatement of the draft, but were sharply split on the issue of'drafting women.

Rothell said the survey, completed for a class under PSC psychology instructor Dr. Rich· ard Gulizia, included 164

participants. Gulizia said there were enough respondents to consider the survey valid. Those in the 17·21 age group, the largest group in the survey, were least in favor of reinstating the draft. Only 59 per cent of the men and 56 per cent of the women favored reinstatement.

The slim majority in this group opposed drafting women, with 50 per cent of the men and 64 per

cent of the women against it.

Of the 32 per cent of the men who said they would not go if drafted, only 18 per cent would leave the country, to avoid the draft. Of the women, 39 per cent , would not go and 28 per cent would leave the country to avoid it.

Men and women in the 22·25 age group were largely in favor

Tony has served on the Student Senate for his entire freshman year. When asked why he ran for Student Senate President, Paul·

son replied, "I spent, the first semester in a rather low profile, in fact I didn't even know we had a Student Senate until I attended the movie Rocky Horror Picture Show. During the movie, Joe Primm stood up and yelled at the students." "This is not the image a Student Senate Presid· ent should present," said Paulson. "I'm not saying that Joe did a bad job, because he didn't, however that first impression is embedded in my mind."

"As your President, I hope with my talents as a Christian athlete and scholar, I will present a more favorable image to my constituants as their representative," said Paulson.

"I want to help the students attain their goals and to see the items that are important to them, so the'Student Senate can deal with them," said Vice

President Tony Nebelsick.

Paulson lobbies for a hobby at the Unicameral in Lincoln, and is familiar with several sena· tors, who may come to speak at PSC. "As many of you may know, the Omaha paper had an article stating that an Omaha senator is trying to close down Peru State College. This happens when senators put money ahead of people," said Paulson.

"I will do my best to try and · not be known as PSC's last Student Senate President, with your help, this will never happen," he said.

"Peru is family, we are made up of students, senators and faculty. When one of us is hurt, we , all hurt as in our own families. I will dedicate my year as president to try and keep the hurt as little as possible," said Paulson.

Spring Week history

by Jim Anderson

Spring is here. Robins can now be seen in the trees, snow is melting (sometimes,) and soon we'll be seeing a lot more green.

Over the past centuries, the coming of Spring has moved people to celebration.

The Celts celebrated the arrival of the season of new vegetation on the first of May with bonfires and a great celebration. Irish Catholics know this celebration in its Christianized form, as the Feast of St. John, celebrated on June 24 Chaucer m1,mtioned in his writing the English custom of the middle ages called Maying. People danced around trees; believing that this would insure fertility during the coming season. From this 1mrctice comes the Maypole dance.

The Maypole dance was brought to the Nebr,aska State Normal School, later Peru State College, in May of 1909 by a school organization known as the Everett Society.

- The May 1909 issue of the Normalite said this about the celebration: "It is hoped that the Everett Society will make it a

Memorial services held

Special memorial services for Julia Marie Woodard, 23, were held Wednesday, April 2 in the College Auditorium during convocation period. Nearly 150 close friends, administrators and students attended.

Father Nicolas Baker of the Peru Catholic church conducted the service and Karen Coover addressed the gathering. Dr. Thomas Ediger, PSC music instructor, was pianist for the service.

point to give the Maypole dance every year hereafter." The celebration became known as the May Fete. The last May Fete appears to have been in May of 1970. The celebration of Spring, however, did not die out at Per.u State College.

In May of 1969the old Student Center Board sponsored what it called "Spring Week" which was accepted enthusiastically.

The May 12, 1969 issue of the Pedagogian said that Spring Week "deposed the student apathy which had reigned supreme ori this campus, though · hated by all."

"Spring Week," the Ped said, "created an alive campus, a campus.buzzing with activity of all sorts for all tastes."

This year's celebration of Spring will be held April 16-23 and will include many of the things that have made past Spring Weeks enjoyable.

Loans unaffected by high rates

by Deb Moore

Although interest rates continue to rise and the current money market is tight, PSC Financial Aids Director Don Miller thinks college student loan programs won't be affected until at least the 1981-82 academic year. "I don't think any major changes· or cutbacks will be made for the 1980-81 school year because the financing of education is a very controversial political subject," Miller said. "If the government would drastically curtail federal funding for education this year, it ,,. could cost (President) Carter a lot of votes," he said.

Miller said it would also be '·. difficµlt to make any changes in ' the loan programs at this time because the money has already

been appropriated for 1980-81. He does, however, forsee cutbacks in federal funding to the college work study program next year. Miller said Peru will

"work on making this up out of institutional funds."

Of the changes that have been discussed for the student loan programs, Miller said: "What the government has basically proposed is to abolish the two current student loan programsthe National Direct Student Loan (NDSL) and the Guaranteed Student Loan (GSL)-and establish a federal student bank."

"This bank would make two loans available to students," Miller said. One loan would be based on financial need but repaid at a much higher interest rate than at present, and one would not be based on need but would start to accrue interest immediately. There would also be no Joan cancellations for military service or teaching.

"The idea of abolishing the NDSL. and GSL programs, however, goes back to the Nixon administration," Miller said, "and the recommendation hasn't yet been followed through with."

Men opposed to drafting women

Continued from Page 1 of reinstating the draft, with 87 and 90 per cent in favor, respectively. Fifty per cent of the men opposed drafting women, while 60 per cent of the women were in favor of it.

Only 12 per cent of the men in this group said they wouldn't go if drafted, but 37 per cent \\'.ere undecided. Ten per cent of the women would refuse to go, with 30 per cent undecided.

Both men and women in the 36-plus age group were 100 per cent in favor of reinstating the draft, but this group was · relatively small compared to the total number of respondents in the survey.

The men were split 37 per cent for and 37 per cent against drafting women. Fifty per cent of the women favored the draft for women, while 25 per cent were undecided.

surprised by the responses from the three older age groups. "The biggest surprise in this survey for me," she said, "was the difference between the men's and women's responses in the 22-25 age group. The women were much more ha.wkish in the attitudes."

Thirteen students have graduated from PSC and are now instructors and staff members at PSC.

The graduates include: Faye M. Brandt, 1948; Dr. Lester Russell, 1951; Dr. Clyde Barrett, B.S. 1957, Masters, 1958; Dr. Leland Sherwood, 1957; Kelly Liewer, 1957; Mary Ruth Wilson, Masters, 1960; Paul Fell, 1967; Arlene Fell, 1967; Ken Larson, 1972; Jerry Joy, 1963; Ken Gress, 1963; Steve Shoupe, 1973; Virginia Miller, 19i2. The graduates reasons for returnirig to PSC were varied and numerable. Many of them had teaching in college as one of their goals. O.thers liked the location of PSC, and some wanted to give something back to the college and students.

"Many changes have taken place at PSC over the years," said Lester Russell, IA instructor. "I remember when the road coming to campus, continued to go in front of the library and past the Fine Arts building, much

the sidewalk goes through the campus now."

"The visitation hours for Morgan women were much more rigid," says Arlene Fell, Home Economics instructor. "The freshmen had to be in the dorm by 10 p.m., and upperclassmen by 10:30 p.m. No girls were allowed to live campus and girls also weren't allowed to go into the men's dorms," she said.

"In my day, books were free, we just had to check them out and turn them in at the end of the year, but if damaged, fines were charged," said Kelly Liewer, registrar. "Also there were more men to women on campus, in the senior class there were very few women."

Paul Fell, art instructor, remembers the dinner dress up night. "Once a week, everyone would have to wear their best clothes to dinner. The women were required to wear dresses and the men had to wear tie and preferably coats. We weren't allowed to eat until we were dressed for the occasion," says Fell.

Peru hosts Bellevue at 1 p.m. Sunday.

Peru's record to date is 1-7, with six of those games against Bellevue. Rainy weather has played havoc with Peru's schedule thus far, forcing a number of postponements and two cancellations.

On Sunday, the 'Cats split with Bellevue. Peru won the opener 5-4. but were bombed 23-8 in an error-filled second game.

Jeff Schiebur, junior, pitched Peru to the win ()n Sunday in relief of starter Ken Denning. Bellevue jumped to 4-0 lead at the top of the second inning, but Peru rallied for the win behind the hitting of senior Mark Johnson. who blasted a solo home run in the ·third inning.

Kevin Niday, junior pitcher, took the loss in the second game Sunday. Of the 23 runs Bellevue scored, only two were earned in a game that saw Peru commit 20 errors. Bellev.ue upped its record to 5-13, with all five wins over Peru State.

Peru took an early six-run lead in the first game and went on to defeat the Tarkio Owls, 9-5. Rhonda Wright, the only returning pitcher from last season. took the win. In the second game, Peru's 5-4 lead gave way to a 6-6 tie in the

third inning. The Owls went on to score six runs and led, 6-12, at the top of the seventh. Afive-run rally by Peru fell one run short of tying up the game and Wright· took the loss, 11-12.

The Lady 'Cats also recently competed in the tough 16-team UNL Invitational. They lost to eventual champion Emporia <Kan.) State, 3-11, and Drake <Ia.) University, 1-3. Peru's other losses were to Wayne State, 10-11 and 3-8; and to Creighton University, 1-2 and 1-4. Creighton finished second in the UNL tourney, and Drake and Wayne also placed.

PSC track first place

Three school records by Peru's women's track team and two first places by the Bobcats highlighted the Bronco Relays at Hastings on Saturday.

Rita Adams, a sophomore from Omaha, was outstanding for Coach Marta Crume's women. She took a first place in the long jump with a meet and school record leap of 16'6, and was a member of the 440 Relay team that earned second place with a time of 55.04.

Keith McKim, sophomore from Humboldt, took the other first place in men's high jump competition. His winning jump measured 6'5, one inch below the school record he set last year. He was the only one to earn a place for Coach Gary Thompson's men's squad.

Golf season opens

by Deb Moore

The Peru State College golf team opened their first season even on April 10 in the Wesleyan Club 9-team golf tournament at Mahoney Park in Lincoln.

Head Coach Erv Pitts said he was especially pleased with the performances of two freshmen squad members. Brad Kreifels and Jay Knaak.

Kreifels, a native of Syracuse, came in close behind the top ten tourney finishers with a score of 80, Pitts said. Knaak, of Plainview, "had a good first'

round score of 40," Pitts added. Other members of Pitts' team competing in the Wesleyan Club event were Tim Hedrick, Falls Ciiy sophomore: Greg Gose, Falls City freshman: and Ray Drake, Superior freshman. "We didn't play well and finished last in the standings at Wesleyan," Pitts said. but this is the first year Peru has competed in •golf and none of the team members have collegiate golfing experience. "And," Pitts added, "it's been a terrible spring for golfers. anyway."

Ronda Schroeder, freshman from Liberty, broke the school record in the shot put in her first outdoor meet for Peru State. Her throw of 38'2 earned her third place. No team scores or standings were kept. Schools participating besides Peru State included Doane, Kearney State, Concordia, Nebraska Wesleyan, Hastings, and Southeast Community College-Fairbury.

Senate still unsettled

by Lori Last

No agenda was just tlie start of the problems for the April 23 Student Senate meeting.

President Mike Paulson· was apparently unprepared for his new office.

Failing to conduct the meeting according to the constitution rule of using "Roberts Rules of Order," Paulson kept saying, "Do we have to follow that book?" in reference to "Roberts Rules of Order."

Another issue discussed was the unexcused absences of Shirley Rothell, due to a transportation problem. Accord· ing to the Senate Constitution, a member can only be allowed two unexcused absences, any more

would result in a dismissal from Student Senate. · ·

President Paulson wants to make Shirley's case specil!l. He has said that he will tape all the snideQ:t Senate meetings and give them to !)er lier votes wo.lild be.'handed inlater., In dlseussfon, the Senate.decided this would h()ld them up if they ha!l to wait for Shh;.ley'.s v9te.

Chapel-Gymnasiun-1905

Faded glory

by Becki Young

The face of "The Campus of a Thousand Oaks" ·is rapidly changing this year as the new Health and Physical Education Center nears completion.

As we all anxiously await the opening of this futuristic and beautiful structure, I think it fitting that we not forget an old soldier who has served the students of PSC for 75 years.·

In 1905 the first class graduated in the yet unfinished chapel. And with few exceptions most classes have stood inside that brick building for the last time as students. As a member of the Class of 1980, I am proud to

be a member of the last class to honor this old but proud building.

In its original form a steep sloping roof once capped the building, dwarfing the two Gothic towers which still remain. A rose window, which has since been bricked over extended up the entire height of the west side of the building. Before the sidewalks were raised on the south side of the commons area, the front doors of the chapel were high enough off the ground to warrent two sets of steep stairs leading up to the front doors.

in pledges and donations. They received two portable TV's for ·. raising the most money, but gave one of them to the second place couple.

Bryan Draeger and Denise Abelson, both freshmen at Peru State, raised over two-hundred dollars for the second place finish along with the calculator and camera that second place team won.

Tim Pethoud and Susan LaMountain took third place by

also raising over two hundred dollars.

Music was provided by two bands, "Nemaha Valley River Rascals," and "Quintessance."

Dick Muth, director of admissions, played in the first group and Chuck Mittan and Kevin Casey, who are both students here were members of the second combo. All other music was provided by Music Unlimited and run by Jerry Grint. Most couples lasted the whole night.

Professor judges

Brain Bowl

For the past eight weeks, Dr. George Schottenhamel, professor of history at PSC, has been judging the competition in the Third Annual KMA Radio "Brain Bowl" held at Shenandoah, la.

The academic quiz contest involves students from sixteen high schools in Iowa, Missouri, and Nebraska. Students are competing for $2,000 in scholarships to be awarded by KMA Radio to the top three teams.

In addition to the KMA. scholarships, winning contestants will be awarded matching scholarships if they choose to attend one of the following colleges: Peru State College; Northwest Missouri State University, Maryville, Mo.; Tarkio College, Tarkio, Mo.; Buena Visia College, Storm Lake, Ia.; Iowa Western Community College, Clarinda, Ia., and Southwestern Community College, Creston, Ia.

Dr. George Gayler, professor of history at NWMSU, Maryville, is the quizmaster and author of the questions.

The battle for the championship in the contest finds Corning, Ia., going against Walnut, Ia., in a broadcast at 12:30 p.m., May 4 over 960 Radio KMA. In the consolation match, defending champions, Clarinda will meet St. Albert of Council Bluffs at 12 noon, May 4.

Noted Nebraska author Marion Marsh Brown donated her original manuscripts to Peru State College during a 2:30 p.m. ceremony on Sunday, April 27, in the PSC Library.

Mrs. Brown graduated from PSC in 1927 and was an assistant professor of English at the college from 1935 to .1937.

The author of 15 books, she writes mainly for young people. Her latest book is titled "Homeward Arrow's Flight" and is about Susan LaFlesche Picotte, the first native American woman to become a medical doctor. It's scheduled for release this month.

"Although I have had requests from a number of colleges and universities for my manuscripts, I have kept them all in my own possession, thinking that if I gave them to any school, my Alma Mater, which later employed me on her faculty, would be the most logical recipient," Mrs. Brown has said.

"We are very happy that Mrs. Brown has decided to honor Peru in this way," said Mrs. Faye Brandt, PSC's librarian.

Two years ago Mrs. Brown was awarded PSC's Distinguished Service Award. ·

Mrs. Brown's books have won her national writing awards. She has received first place awards in the National Press Women's Contest and he!" books have been included in the Junior Literary Guild and the Catholic Children's Book Club.

Wat.er tower and observatory-1880

Hi'storic Peru remembered

by Kevin Casey

Peru State College is the only remaining college which was originally chartered by the Nebraska Territorial Legislature in the 1800's. During the 1880's and 90's, a flurry of building and development ensued, and Peru State College proudly sported some of the highest forms of vogue architecture to be found anywhere in the area.

In early photographs of the campus, huge, highly ornate brick and frame structures abounded, making "Peru Normal School" one of the most stately and charming campuses in the state.

The Peru campus of 1900 is almost unrecognizable today.

A 1910 photograph showing a large, unadorned Greek-Revival building is labeled simply "The Old Science Building." It was a very simple "U"-shaped building which housed the science classrooms and large laboratories.

Another structure on campus that was very similar in design to the Old Science Building was the Music Hall, which stood where the Victor Jindra Fine Arts Building now stands. The Music Hall had ten large gables, canvas awnings over each entrance, and brick window caps over it's arched windows.

One of the more curious structures on campus was the Peru Observatory. This tiny biick building had one small square room adjacent to a larger circular room with a domed roof. It stood beside the Peru water tower. Literature on the building states that it was opened to astrology and astronomy students and members of the community who were versed in the use of it's equipment.

By far the most outstanding structure on campus

at the time was the Main Building, located where the Science Building is located. It was completed in 1875, and an addition was built in 1885. The building towered four stories above the campus, and was one of the best examples of high Italianate architecture in this end of the state. It sported ornate roof brackets, and limestone window caps with key-stones.

One of its most unusual attributes was a bell tower which protruded another two stories above the building itself. The tower had a mansored roof which was topped by a widow's-walk railing, and peaked windows with shutters.

The original building had Victorian Italianate arches above the entrances, while the 1885 addition had triangular shaped caps above the doors in an apparent attempt to update the building's appearance. The building's chimneys were constructed to resemble the bell tower, and the effect was dramatic.

The present Administration building was built just after the turn of the century. It still retains most of its decorative brick work on the north entrance, but according to old photographs the brickwork extended up to and across the roof line in angular geometric patterns.

The present brick Library replaced a large frame building that resembled a house structure. It had stained glass wfodows, and a large porch with eave brackets that extended around three sides of the building. The new Library was originally a one-story Greek-Revival Gothic combination, with tiny arched windows, a domed roof and a vaulted ceiling in the central reading room. It, too, had a long stairway leading to the main entrance.

Library-1906

Mount Vernon Women's Residence stood where the Student Center presently is, being similar in structure and design to the Music Hall and the Old Science Building. A porch at the main entrance, however, was executed with Classical detailing. The dorm was opened in 1899 because the previous one had burned two years earlier.

What is now known as the Education Building started its history as the Col. T. J. Majors Training School, and was also known as the Demonstration High School. It was built between 1916 and 1918, and is impressive in its sheer size and its complex and ornate cast-cement ornamentation around the entrances and across the front of the structure. Inside, the floors are inlaid tile, the walls are marble-faced, all the original woodwork is oak, and what little of the original hardware on doors and windows is left is solid brass. The most impressive remaining building on the campus is Delzell Men's Residence Hall. Although it has fallen victim to gross vandalism and neglect, it is an excellent example of Gothic-Revival architecture, and could easily be salvaged and restored to its original stately self. Built in 1939, it originally housed not only male students, but also contained the Student Center.

Aside from the minute detail in the masonry and stonework outside, one of the distinguishing features of Delzell is its large and previously elegant sitting room. Large brass chandeliers hang from the ceiling, and at the south end of the room, an impressive split stairway winds its way around two large oak pillars and oak balistrade.

One structure which has practically been engulfed by the growth of the campus is the Maintenanc.e Engineer's Home, situated directly south of the Auditorium. Having an Italianate brick design, it was built around the turn of the century, and its present fate is yet uncertain.

Another structure built at about the same time is the President's Home. At one time it was considered to be eclectic Italianate, even though it incorporated some of the exterior ornamentation belonging to the Queen Anne Style. This house has been remodeled so many times over the years that most of its outward historical charm has been lost, and its style now defies description.

For one reason or another, the truly historic buildings on Peru's campus have disappeared or so altered that most of the historic nature of the school is gone. However, what signifigance is left is to be enjoyed by everyone.

Giant-killers

by Kent Propst

The Peru State softball team peaked at just the right time last weekend, as the scrappy Lady Bobcats .took second place in the state AIA W Division II tournament. The showing earned Coach Maxine Mehus' squad a ticket to the regional AIA W qualifying tournament May 8-10 in Emporia, KS.

The 'Cats, with just 12 squad members, saw their season get off to a rocky start as they ·dropped their first six games. Since then, however, they have won 14 of their last 23 games to improve their record to 14-15, including a doubleheader at Fairbury, Monday, by 13-2 in seven innings, and 14-0 in three innings.

The 'Cats opened the double elimination state tournament on Friday against the College of St. Mary, a team that had bombed Peru 8-1 and 20-4 earlier in the year. It must have looked like"a different Peru team to St Mary's, as the 'Cats rolled to a 9-3 win. Rhonda Wright, junior pitcher from Oakland, IA., went the distance not only in the game but in the tournament, completing six games and pitching a total of 43 innings.

On Friday evening, eventual champion Wayne State took advantage of Peru errors and cold hitting to claim a 7-1 win and drop Peru into the losers bracket. Wayne ended the tourney with four straight victories and the championship in the seven-team field.

With one loss and their backs to the wall. the Bobcats began a

La quo Ii for regionals

string of giant-killing on Saturday that eventuc11ly earned them the invitation to Emporia. They started it off by coming from behind to eliminate Chadron by a 7-6 score on Saturday morning, thanks to a four-run sixth inning.

They continued to stun the field by eliminating the host University of Nebraska-Omaha on Saturday afternoon 11-5. The 'Cats overcame a 4-2 disadvantage in the fourth inning to rally for a seven-run sixth inning and one of the biggest victories in women's athletics at Peru State.

The Kearney State Antelopes were the next to fall, as Peru State sent them home following a thrilling 3-2 win Sunday morning. Kearney was another school with two big wins over the improving 'Cats earlier in the season. The Kearney win put Peru into the ·finals to face Wayne State.

Wayne State, with four previous victories over Peru this season, must have thought they were playing a different bunch or Bobcats in the championship game. Pitcher Wright limited them to just one run in the first seven innings, and at the end of regulation play the score was knotted at 1-1. Wayne managed to score two runs at the top of the eighth, and then held Peru scoreless for the state chamionship.

The Lady Bobcats pickect up two wins in regular-season play earlier in.the week. Peru topped Concordia 8-1, then held on for a 9-8 win over Tarkio in games played on the Peru diamond. Rhonda Wright pitched both victories.

Good luck, Lady Bobcats I

Thinclads continue to place

Peru State men's and women's track teams continued to place high in individual events in three separate meets last week. Leading the way was sophomore Keith McKim, Humboldt, who broke his own school high jump record for the second time this season.

McKim leaped 6 foot 8 inches to win the high jump at the Kearney Invitational on Monday, bettering his old record by two inches.

The Bobcat spring medley team claimed third place in the six-team meet at Kearney.

Bobcats improve record

The Bobcat baseball team split a doubleheader with Doane C:oHege las.t Friday in· two close contests. Peru State claimed the opener 5-4, but dropped the nightcap 4-3 to push their record to 2-18.

A good job of batting by seniors-Mark Johnson and Jon Orton and sophomore Rocky Nelson allowed Peru to claim the first win in nme innings. Johnson went 3-for-4 at the plate including one double, two runs

and one RBI. while Orton and Nelson each hit 2-for-3 with Orton notching a double and two RBI's. Johnson's .429 batting ayerage is tops for 'Cats.

John Donahue, semor, scored three of Peru's five runs despite failing to get a hit. He did get "hit," though, by three wild pitches off of the Doane pitcher. He also stole four bases.

In the second game, Peru jumped to a 3-0 lead before the hosts rallied for the win. The

Eagles take P-Club tourney

by Darrell Wellman

The Eagles team from Nebraska City won the P-Club sponsored softball tournament held April 26 and 27. The tourney consisted of the following teams: Delzell, Wheeler Inn, Eagles, Brownville, Bar X Bar in Union, P-Club, Budweiser and Shubert. Delzell took third place in the tournament. The team was coached by Dave Uldrich. Other team members were Steve Pietzyk, Kip Grinstead, Jim Myers, John Walsh, Jay Kna!!k, Mark Tillman, Tim Pethoud, Rob Kruger and Tim Hendrick. Wheeler Inn, who won second.

place, defeated the Delzell squad 17-9 to earn the right to play the undefeated Eagles. Wheeler Inn, coached by Harold Hitch, included Bob Peterson, Troy Goleman, Tim Alvis, Rick Neubauer, Jeff Gerdes, M"arty Hannaford, Brian Gray, Kirby Behrends, Russ Pasco, Ray Woerlan, Greg Sanders, Dave Flies and Frank Washburn. In the Delzell-Wheeler contest, the dorm squad lead by six runs at one time, but saw their lead disappear. They scored only one run to the opponents 15 in the last three innings. Wheeler Inn needed a victory over the undefeated Eagles to

game was as close as the score indicates, with Peru collecting seven hits to eight for Doane. Doane committed only one error in the contest compared to three for Peru.

Mark Taylor, freshman pitcher, earned his first win of the season in the first game. Chris Hutt, sophomore, was tagged for the loss in the nightcap in relief of starter Tim Woodruff, Nebraska City.

even each team's record at one loss apiece and that is just whal they got. They defeated Carl Abbott's Eagles of Nebraska City 11-8. Members of the Eagles were Abbott, John Barnard, Steve Cole, Bob DeVorss, Jody Hermann, Steve Oakley, Dan Russell, Terry Jodry, Phil Moyer, Dan Cqtton and Jody Barton.

Wheeler's victory necessitated the playing of another game to determine the tournament victor andin that.game the Eagles won 4-3. The top three teams were presented trophies, and profits from the tourney went to P-Club.

• Freshmen squadsmen Maverick Davis, Ken White, Albert Williamson and Mark Tillman were clocked at 4:09.3. In addition, the 800 meter relay team of Davis, White, Williamson and Norm Parrish, a sophomore, claimed fourth in a time of I :40.9. No team scores were kept.

The Lady Bobcat track team competed in the eight-team Westmar OAl Invitational last Saturday. Rita Adams, sophomore from Omaha, placed first , in the long jump with a leap of 16 feet 4 inches. Ronda Schroeder,

freshman from Liberty, placed third in the shot put with a 37 feet 7 inch toss.

Two Bobcat track men, sprinters Norm Parrish and Ken White, placed in the 100-meter dash at the Central Missouri State Invitational at Warrensburg on Tuesday. Parrish claimed fourth place and White took fifth, though they were timed in a virtual dead heat. Led by the efforts of McKim, the men's and women's track teams scored nine points at the Wayne State Invitational last week.

Wright warms up to win

Rhonda Wright, junior, warms up her "bionic" arm during the last home game of the season against Concordia. Wright pitched all six games in last week's

tourney to lead the 'Cats to second place in the state and a trip to the AIA W regional tourney in Emporia, I\s., May 8-10.
