Bobcats to face Warriors

· Peru State opens the muchanticipated 1980 football season tomorrow at home against the powerful Midland College Warriors.

Kickoff time is 7:30 p.m. in Peru State's Oak Bowl. It will be the season opener for Midland College as well.

The contest pits a pair of the top teams in NAIA's Division II. Midland logged a 9-1 record and a spot in the national championship playoffs enroute to a number five rating in the final

NAIA Division II poll last season.

The Bobcats notched a 6-4 mark and the school's first appearance in a post-season bowl game. The resurgent Bobcats placed 18th in the final poll last fall.

•

The Midland Warriors were tabbed number 13 in · the pre-season NAIA,.Division II coaches' poll. The Bobcats were rated in the 18th Spot.

Peru holds a commanding 29-10-2 advantage in the series that dates back to 1909. However, the Bobcats have defeated Midland only once (20-14 in 1978) since the series was resumed in 1974 following a 15-year layoff. Midland won 22-10 last season. Admission to all home games is $2.00 for adults, $.75 for students with ID, and $.25 for children through grade 8.

"Footloose" played August 26 in a back-to-school dance sponsored by the Student Senate in the I.A. parking lot.

Steidle is new Director of Admissions

Ken Steidle was appointed Director of Admissions at PSC effective August, 1980. He replaced Dr. Richard Muth, who stepped down to return to teaching.

Mr. Steidle, 31, was previously Director of Bands at Marion High School (8-76 to 8-78) and a professional fund raiser for Nashville Educational Marketing Services, Nashville, Tennessee. He received ·both his B.S. & M.A. degrees in music education from Ball State University, Muncie. Mr. and Mrs. Steidle and family will be moving to Peru around the 15th of September.

Players to present "Charlie's Aunt"

by Dave Gray

The Peru Players will begin their 1980-81 season with a presentation of "Charlie's Aunt." The play is a farce comedy that has, since its publication in 1892, been the longest running play in history.

The cast includes: Charles Mittan (Charles), Richard Wood (Jack), Mark McFadden (Lord Fancourt), Karen Coover (Mrs. Brassett), Cody Stewart (Kitty), Karen Gerking (Amy), Dave Gray (Sir Francis), Mary Gail Beccard (Donna Lucia), Jane Martin (Ela), and Russell Stratton (Spettigue).

The play will be presented Oct. 2, 3, 4, and 5 (which.is.during

homecoming celebrations) and admission is $1.00.

Dr. Royal Eckert, director of this production, said that season tickets will be on sale by Sept. 15.

The cost of each ticket is $5.00-which includes three plays (admission $1.00), one musical (admission $2.00), and a bonus ticket which can be used anyway the purchaser wishes.

The other shows scheduled to be performed this year by the Peru Players include Arthur Miller's "Death Of A Salesman," (drama), Rodger's and Hart's "The Boys from Syracuse," (musical), and Ira Levin's "Deathtrap," (a comedy thriller).

Peru to receive federal funds

The Board of Trustees of the Nebraska State Colleges last month authorized PSC to accept $100,000 in federal funds over a two-year span for a Title III, Strengthening Student Services program.

A state in-kind fund match of $37,260 was also approved as part of the program.

"The goal of this program is to reduce attrition by creating a more comprehensive support system for students at PSC," said Dr. Myron Apilado, Dean of Student Affairs and author of the proposal.

Apilado said he hopes this support sys tern will be built on the existing strengths of the college.

He added that there are five objectives which must be met if the program goal is to be achieved:

' First. improve the quality of 1\

academic advising fraining faculty and peer counselors to use counseloring techniques, employing peer advisors to work with, .faculty advisors, and publishing an advising-retention handbook;

Second, initiate an effective English remediation program by identifying freshmen with · deficiencies and having them enroll in a program to improve their English skills ;

Third, improve the orientation program. for freshmen by developing a required semesterlong program;

Fourth, provide a wider range of personal counseling services for all students by hiring an additional counselor; and

Fifth, provide for better · human relations between all members of the college munity through seminars for all college personnel.

GREETINGS FROM YOUR EDITOR

Things are definately looking up this coming semester and I would like to take the chance to welcome back all those students returning to PSC this year and say a special hello to all of the freshmen. I was editor of the Pedagogian in the fall of 1978 and I am looking forward to this second chance to serve the college's students.

One returnee to the staff is Debbie Moore. She is a senior who does writing for College Relations and was Editor of the Ped last year.

Kent Probst is another whom I will be relying on when it comes to sports stories. Kent is not only the Sports Information Director, but also temporary Director of College Relations until a replacement for Hagedorn has been found. In his first year at Peru, Kent was in charge of this newspaper.

Lori Last is a junior who has done much writing for me in the past and she does a good job covering events taking place in the music department.

Jim Anderson is a sophomore and my Associate Editor. Like me he will be covering just about anything and working with the layout.

Our photography editor is Mike Northrup. He was the Pedagogian photographer last

year and did a good job.

Dave Gray, Norm Parish and Harold Benson will be turning in copy and round out the rest of my staff. I have several other students who will be joining the staff in a couple of weeks.

This year is an important one at Peru State with several noteworthy events taking place. Dedication of the new Health, Physical Education and Recreation Center is scheduled during Homecoming festivities with people from many miles away expected to turn out for the celebration.

The school enrollment seems to be up and there are more students living in the dorms as can be evidenced by the re-opening of Davidson-Palmer Hall.

Athletics is another bright spot to look forward to. 86 men turned out for the Bobcat football team and this number is the largest turnout for several years. The women's volleyball team has several returning letterwinners back and they should be competitive.

In closing I would like to say that this is your school. Get involved and make things happen and lets make 1980 be the · "Year of the Bobcat."

Marching bard to perform

by Lori Last

The Peru State marching Bobcat band, under the direction of Dr. David M. Edris, is preparing for a busy marching schedule as well as five football performances.

Dr. Edris has been directing marching and concert band at PSC for six years and is looking forward to another good year of band performances. "Even though the band is small, I know we can do an outstanding job," says Edris.

The members of the band are:

Denise Abelson, Maelynn Bassinger, Julie Beatty, Sharon Bebout, Lori Berg, Polly Clark, Debra Dea, Janet Dunn, Ellen Eldridge, Rhonda Frank, Nancy Gerdes, Mark Goll, Laurie Graham, Lori Hackbart, Jan Hammers, Emil Janda, Chris Johnson, Angela Love, Anthony Nebelsick, Alice Nicholas, Cheryl Rausch, Keith Rippe, Ed

Stratton has articles published

PSC English Professor Dr. Russell Stratton had two articles appear in a recent edition of "The Nebraska English Counselor," a Nebraska journal which publishes on teaching English.

The first one titled "The One-Sentence Paragraph: I Want It All Now" deals with the

need for students to learn the fundamentals of writing before being taught more sophisticated techniques.

The second article, "Waving the Red Fiag of Correction," concerns the question of how much criticism is appropriate in correcting students' composi·

tions.

"It has been a long fight over whether to heavily correct or minimally correct," Stratton said.

"The latest idea is that any type of correction is injurious to the student, but I took the other viewpoint in the article."

The band will carry out new and different types of pre-game and half-time shows. "We will be doing some corps style drills in our pre-game shows as well as some percussion drills in the actual halftime performances," says Edris.

The halftime shows will include: a Salute to Elvis; New York City; Election Day, and a Magic Show.

The band's scheduled appear· ances are, as follows:

September 12, Richardson Co. Fair Parade, Humboldt.

September 13, Pre-game & half-time, Oak Bowl.

September 20, Applejack Parade, Nebraska City.

October 4, Band-0-Rama

Spirit Week upcoming

The Student Senate's Special Events Committee is attempting to get college organizations involved in it's "Spirit Week."

This is a week-long show of enthusiasm and school spirit preceding the Bobcats' homecoming clash with the Benedictine College Ravens on October 4.

Spirit Week is a contest which, based upon a point system, will determine who is the most spirited organization on campus. The week will begin September 29 at 8:00 a.m. and will end, with the exception of the judging of floats in Saturday's parade, on Friday the 3rd with the annual bonfire.

Participation will consl$t of posters, buttons, apparel, radio announce!lltpll1 rallys; fund raisers, or

else each group can come up with. There will be three judges and points will be awarded as follows: 5 pts. for entry in the parade; 20 pts. for best float in the parade; 5 pts. for bringing ravens to burn at the bonfire; 20 pts. for the best raven at the bonfire; 5 pts. for each organization represented at the bonfire; up to 25 pts. for each event sponsored; and an additional 25 pts. for the organization which sponsors the most events during the week.

The most spirited group wl11 be awarded a plaque at half-time of the homecoming game.

Student Programs Coordinator Betsy Billiard stressed the fact that this year's bonfire, if stud,ents want another next year, had better be well attended and Sl1Ccessful.

entered the contest merely to be a representative of PSC and she never had any idea that she had a chance at being chosen queen. She had heard that rival Tarkio had several entries to the contest and that Peru had only one and she wanted to "even up the odds" as she put it. The other entry from Peru was Cindy Baker.

Judging was based on a combination of three scores in wardrobe (15 per cent-choice of sportsware, swim suit and street dress); poise (25 per cent-how the contestant reacted to the pressures of the contest and answered her questions) and answering an impromptu question (50 per cent-questions were drawn at random and the girls were asked how they would react in each circumstance).

Incidentally, MaryGail's question was, "What would you do if given a million dollars?" She stated that she would be an ambassador first for her school, then for her. hometown (Nebraska City) and finally to her country.

There were a total of 10 entries in the contest and Ms. Beccard received a $500 savings bond. First runner-up was awarded a $100 scholarship to be used for her education and the second runner-up got a $100 savings bond for her effort.

MaryGail said that she is really glad that she had a chance to be queen but will be glad to get back to classes and the theater, where she will be performing in the Peru Players upcoming production "Charlie's Aunt."

New Bus.iness Chairman

by Linda Kluge

PSC is "one big happy family with a common goal of achieving of good education," according to Dr. Don Jacobs, who.is the new chairman of the business department.

Jacobs began his work at Peru State July 1, 1980 and brought with him much experience. He graduated from high school in Tennessee and after two years of college he was drafted into the military. After two years in the service, Jacobs then returned to college and earned his degree in Industrial Management from the University of Chattanooga, Tenn.

Next, he taught at the secondary level in Texas and at Texas Junior College. He earned his Master's degree from Texas Christian University.

From Texas he moved to Cleveland, Tennessee, where he taught school and was chairman of the math department. From 1965-78, Dr Jacobs held a teaching position in Lincoln, and was chairman of business for 11 of those 13 years. He earned a doctorate in 1977 from the UNL in business administration.

After running a private business for two years, Jacobs began his work at Peru.

Dr. Jacobs' wife, Barbara, has a Master's in Business Education and teaches at Southeast Community College in Lincoln. They have two daughters (Gaye is married and has an 8-year-old son and RayeLynn lives in Colorado). Their son Donny takes graduate courses at an Omaha medical school.

PSC's new business chairman enjoys many sports activities and is "looking forward to being a spectator (of PSC sports) as time permits." His hobbies include fishing, camping and hiking.

What mainly influenced Jacobs to come to Peru was its "homey" atmosphere. He also stated he was impressed by comments from former students who are now in the teaching profession, and all these comments were very favorable. Jacobs said he also appreciates Peru's recruitment process as well as its smallness. The size of this campus is "a plus," he said, "because it is easier to get to know the students and my colleagues on a more personal basis."

Dr. Jacobs stressed the point that his is an "open-door policy" and that any student is welcome to visit him for course and-or program advisement. He is

available during the day at his office in the Education Building or at his residence, which is at Pate Hall. He was pleased to note that although the college is unable to offer as many academic programs as a larger institution, "Peru does have a program that is equal to UNL or UNO in quality" and that in this scope, "Peru stands in a good light."

Dwight Garman is the new placement director at PSC. Garman is from Lincoln where he previously was a supervisor of career planning and placement. He received his degree from Creighton University and a Masters from UNL.

Mr. Garman came to Peru because of the size of the community and he has the belief

that personalized attention could be given to the students.

Garman wishes to start a new campaign for placement and is hoping to involve not just career minded seniors but also underclassmen, thus making his office more visible to the students. He stated that "for students to be involved with career planning before their senior year is not only beneficial, but it is also fun!" ·

Darrell WeHmQn Involved

Any spectator in the Peru Oak Bowl can tell that some renovation has been carried out by students and others who volunteered their time and efforts to paint the press box and radio shack. The project was carried out through the public relations offices and was overseen by Kent Propst. Incidently, Propst had a'-picnic afterwards for those who helped and it made the task go quicker.

Those volunteering their time were Deb Moore, Mary Gail Beccard, Mike Northrup, Becki Young, Beth Propst, Kent Propst and myself. We all received a. letter of thank-you from PSC President Larry Tangeman and that made putting in my time worthwhile anyway.

Dr. Tangeman stated in his letter that if more students would put forth this effort, the school could be a much better envilomrient for all to attend. More students should make the effort ofJrying to improve their school and they might just feel better about themselves too. I got a sense of accomplishment that I had done something for good-0le PSC.

Our group did the painting and scraping in orie afternoon and many persons noticed the improvement when Midland came to town the following week. The once light-blue and paint chipped buildings are now the school colors anp give the Oak Bowl a much better appearance, in my books anyway.

Larson Head of College Relations

Patricia Larsen is the newly appointed director of college relations at.PSC as of the middle of September.

Larsen, who came to Peru from Bradley University in Peoria, Ill., is a native of Beatrice, where her parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Loper reside. She earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, in 1973, a Master of Science in Journalism from Kansas State University, Manhattan, in 1975, and has finished course work towards a Ph.D. in journalism at Southern Illinois University, Carbon9ale.

A former Beatrice Daily Sun staffer, Larsen is a graduate of Beatrice High School. She has six years experience as a university-level journalism instructor, advised a university newspaper, has edited a technical journal, researched use of mass media in an Illinois state mentalhealth facility and has interests in the press of Spain.

"As Director of College Relations, I feel all of my past experience and expertise will be tied together to work with administration, faculty, staff, alumni and students to carry on .the outstanding traditions at PSC," Larsen concluded.

I can hear it already, "Hey, you guys, how about a Student Senate meeting sometime?"

"No, I've got another meeting I've got to go to."

"I can be there for a while, I guess, but· then I have to go somewhere else."

"Uh, I've got to go down to the bar."

"Sure, why not, if might be good for a few laughs."

The time's coming soon wlien those Student Senate members who really want to get something done will be completely stifled by those Student Senate members who feel t!iat they have something better to do and so don't show up for meetings or even leave during meetings and also by those Senators who can't take things seriously enough to be effective

PERU PLAYERS 1980·81 SEASON

Being a member of the Student Senate is a commitment which should take precidence over all but family and school work. Students ought to realize that when they becouie m.embers. It's no wonder that the faculty of this college has the.opiniOn of the Senate which they have: ·. I feel tempted to call for the -Tesignations of those people who act as if they'd rather not be members of the Senate but I really feel that they would be replaced, if they would be replaced at all (due, I'm sure you suspect, to lack of willing candidates) by people just like themselves. I will only, therefore,. ask them ever so humbly, to straighten up. This year, for the first time in a long time, .the Student Senate of this college has a good,

well-written (ff I may say so myself) constitution, which, if allowed to, could be effective. I don't know ·anyone who remembers when Peru had an effective Student Senate

The constitution needs the cooperation of the Student Senate to be effective. It needs the cooperation of a student body to assure it of Senate members who will care enough tO make it effective. As such our Student Senate would be the backbone of the most important part of this collel(e-its students.

But I don't believe that a large enough percentage of the student body cares enough to see to that and it may be a while before the present Senate can have a meeting or at least a long enough meeting to see to it itself.

Peru Beats Tarkio in HPER Debut

The first intercollegiate athletic event in Peru State's new Health, Physical Education and Recreation Center was a success as the Lady Bobcats overpowered the Tarkio Owls on Sept. 9.

The Peru spikers won the first set 15-2 and took the victory with three wins in four sets. Tarkio claimed the second set 15-12, but Coach Maxine Mehus' Lady Cats proceeded to swamp their guests by identical 15-6 scores in the final two se is.

"We rebounded well after the · second set, which shows us we can come back," Mebus said. "I think we're starting out this year at the level we ended at last

year, which is a good sign."

Mehus guided Peru State to a 13-9 record in her firsl season last fall.

Julie Brinkman led the Lady 'Cats with 14 points and added eight spikes, while Rene Cheney and Laura Pollman added 11 points and six spikes each.

Ronda Schroeder, sophomore from Liberty, was Peru's leading spiker with 11 and she added 11 points. Jodi Singleton, Lewiston junior, scored nine points and downed four spikes.

"We had a really balanced scoring and spiking attack, which helped a lot," Mebus said.

Lady 'Cats Win Tourney

The Lady Bobcats snatched first place from their hosts at the Nebraska Wesleyan Invitational Volleyball Tournament in Lincoln.

The Lady 'Cats defeated Wesleyan 17-15 and 16-14 in the round robin tournament's championship match.

Peru dropped an earlier decision to powerful Creighton University, so the Lady Bobcats record stood at five wins, one loss and two ties.

Top scorers for Peru State in their championship victory over Wesleyan were Rene Cheney, nine points; Laura Pollman, seven; and Ronda Schroeder, seven points.

Other results in the tourney were: a split with Wesleyan, 5-11 and 11-7 in the opener; a win over Sioux Falls College, 11-8 and 11-5; a split with Dordt College, 11-4 and 7-11; a win over Morningside, 11-4and11-6; and a win over Platte College, 11-2 and 11-8.

"We played pretty consistent, high-percentage volleyball at Wesleyan," Coach Mebus said. "The girls really wanted to win this tournament, especially after our 3-1 loss to Creighton."

him the most valuable player of the game award on offense.

The Bobcat rushing attack was even more devastating against 0-3 Tarkio, compiling 354 yards. Junior running back Alvin Holder notched his thirteenth "century game" (in 21 varsity appearances) with 145 yards and one touchdown, despite playing less than two full quarters. Senior fullback Marv McGill netted 132 yards and two touchdowns, while newcomer Anthony Riley, gained 65 yards on 10 carries for one touchdown.

Against Tarkio, the Bobcat offense was awesome in racking up seven touchdowns and 677 yards total (rushing, passing and return yards). Tarkio was limited to 127 rushing yards (including 119 in the second half, primarily against Peru's reserve units) and 154 passing yards. The Bobcat passing offense, almost non-existent in 1979, accounted for three touchdowns and 183 yards on the night. Roosevelt Brown, senior wide receiver, caught all three touchdown passes covering 42, 29 and 43 yards, and the Tampa, Fla., standout had a total of five catches for 159 yards in earning

The Bobcat defense accounted for two points when Tarkio fumbled the ball out-of-bounds for a safety in the third period. Rounding out the scoring was junior kicker Jeff Frields, who was a perfect seven-for-seven on extra point kicks, bringing his season mark to 10-for-10.

Peru State defender Darrell Baker earned the defensive player of the game honor with eight tackles, one quarterback sack and two forced fumbles. Mike Liewer, senior linebacker for Peru, had nine tackles and a pass interception for the Bobcats to also lead the Peru defense.

Runners Get Second at Westmar

Peru got second place at the Westmar Triangular in LeMars, Ia. Dana edged the first year Bobcat team on the last leg of the run. Runners from left are Freshmen Scott Schwarting, Don Anderson, Dan Anderson, and Sophomore Mike Northrup.

Bobcats Win Opener

Aspillover crowd of over 2,000 fans were on hand to watch the Bobcats open the 1980 football season. Peru whipped Midland College 21-10 in a battle of rated powers.

Peru faced Tarkio College in the annual Applejack Bowl at Nebraska City last Saturday and won 51-12. The Owls were 0-2 after narrow defeats to Concordia (14-10) and CulverStockton (Mo.) 23-20 before being dumped by the Cats.

Two long scoring runs by Bobcat running back Alvin Holder and a timely fumble recovery by converted linebacker Bill Bruhn paved the way to the upset. Midland had been ranked 13th in NAIA's Division II poll, five spots ahead of Coach Jerry Joy's Bobcats. Peru moved up to 13th with the victory.

Holder finished the night with 196 rushing yards on 23 carries and touchdown scampers of 58 and 54 yards. It was his best effort for Peru, but his twelfth 100-yard game in a 20-game Bobcat career. His long runs came early in the first and third quarters.

Mike Haney, junior transfer quarterback for Peru, scored the other touchdown early in the fourth period on a one-yard sneak after a long run by fullback Marv McGill. Jeff Frields rounded out Peru's scoring with three successful PAT's.

Peru finished the night with 261 rushing yards compared to 233 for Midland's wishbone attack. The Warriors amassed 74 yards passing to 46 for Peru State, and both schools finished with 307 yards of total offense.

Dedication to Highlight Day

"Cricket" to Perform Saturday

Bonfire Tonight

by Linda Kluge

Peru students will have a chance to demonstrate their school spirit at the Homecoming bonfire Friday night at 10:30.

The bonfire should prove to be an exciting spirit-booster added to the enthusiasm generated by the Peru State cheerleaders, according to Betsy Billiard, coordinator of s tuden.t programs.

She said a "Most Spirited Organization" award will be presented to the group who creates the best raven (the Benedictine mascot) to be thrown into the bonfire. She said

the raven does not have to be large or elaborate but should be unique. Who ever has the best ·creati.on will win extra points for that particular organization and will win a plaque.

In addition, the band will have a"snake walk" that will beginat the Complex and end up at the IA parking lot, where the ·bonfire will be held.

In the past few years, turnout for this event has been low. Students this year, Miss Billiard pointed out, have a higher degree of enthusiasm.

If turnout does turn out to be low, however, this event will be dropped.

Band Returns to Peru

"Cricket" is returning to Peru State after nearly a year to perform a concert in the HPER Center on Homecoming Day beginning at 8:30 p.m. The last time the gro_up performed was in an outdoor concert at the Centennial Complex that was well attended and enjoyed by many. The group has been in its

present; four-piece form since Sept. 1975; evolving in the years prior and the years since into. an exciting and explosive group that audiences like to experience today. "Cricket" is accepted by a wide variety of audiences and performs just about anything the audience wants to hear.

Cricket's nightclub and concert shows consist of everything

The 1980 Homecoming festivi, ties will be highlighted by dedication ceremonies for the college's new Health, Physical Education and Recreation (HPERl Center tomorrow.

The 1980 Homecoming theme is "Making Our Dreams Come True." All alumni, students, and friends of Peru are encouraged to take part in what promises to be one of the biggest and best Homecoming celebrations at Peru. Festivities get underway today with the first annual Peru State Invitational volleyball tournament for colleges. The round-robin tourney .gets underway at l .p.m. in the HPER Center. Participating schools will include Tarkio <Mo.), Bellevue, Dana, Concordia, and the College of St. Mary, in addition to the host Lady Bobcats.

Members of the band are Terry Lick, lead guitar and vocals, (the group considers him to be their natural group leader); Jeani Horney, vocalsdancing-keyboard playing; Jim Lindsay' percussion; and nanny Lottermoser, singing-songwriting-arranging are his strong points.

This will be the first performance of this type in the Center and the concert is being sponsored oy the Student Senate. Security will be provided by Sigma Beta Chi fraternity and refreshments will be served.

An alumni reception and dinner for the honored classes of 1940, 1955 and 1970 will begin at 6 p.m. at the Wheeler Inn in Auburn. Invitations to honored class members have already been mailed.

A pep rally and bonfire will cap off this evening. The rally will start at 10:30 p.m. at the Applied Arts parking lot across from the industrial Arts building.

Stratton • IS

"We're looking for submissions that reflect the experience of the Great Plains," Dr. Russell Stratton, Professor of English at PSC. said about the poetry short fiction and art that is solicited for the new literary magazine, "Plainsongs."

Stratton, who is the editor, said that partial funding for the magazine has been received through a grant from the Nebraska Committee for the Humanities in Lincoln.

"We are interested in entries with a moral, message or statement," Stratton said. "One of the purposes of the magazine will be to serve as a teaching tool for area professionals to realize that 200-year-old poetry is not the only poetry that is relevant for critiquing.

The long-awaited dedication for PSC's HPER Center gets .underway at 12:30 p.m., with a host of dignitaries scheduled to speak. It will provide an excellent opportunity to tour the facility for those who have not already done so.

The annual Homecoming football game this year pits the host Bobcats against the much-improved Ravens of Benedictine (KS.) College. Peru has won 10 of the previous 11 meetings between the two schools, but barely escaped 13-12 at Atchison last year.

At halftime of the football game, Peru's music department will present the annual Bandorama featuring marching bands from a number of regional high schools and the Bobcat Marching Band.

One hour after the conclusion of the football game, Peru State's "P",Club will sponsor a reception for all alumni at Arbor Manor in Auburn.

_

The Peru Players will present "Charley's Aunt" again at 8 p.m. on Saturday evening in the College Auditorium to round out the 1980 Homecoming.

Editor

He said that in each of the three-editions, October, Christmas and Easter, there will be one particular poem discussed in length. "This is a spin-off from the Nebraska Writing project which was borrowed from the Bay Area Writing project in San Francisco," Stratton said. This effort to stimulate English teachers to write more and therefore to be better teachers of composition should be of interest to area professionals, he said, although we're hoping for a state-wide circulation.

Printed on the Peru campus, for $2 a copy, $6 annual subscription, submissions may be sent to Dr. Russell Stratton, Box 152, PSC, Peru, NE. 68421, and must be accompanied by a self-addressed, stamped envelope to insure return to the sender.

D.W.I. ·Anderson: Off the Record

DarreU Wellman Involved

"Making Our Dreams Come True" is the theme of the 1980 Homecoming celebration and I believe, this year more than ever, PSC students have a lot of their dreams becoming reality.

Tomorrow is the dedication of the new Health, Physical Education and Recreation Center, which after more than two years of constniction, has been completed and is in use.

Over 1000 invitations have been sent out for the dedication ceremonies and many dignitaries are scheduled to speak. All in all, Peru should be spilling over with students, their families and alumni.

The football \team is another bright spdt as it is rated "tenth" in the NAIA Division II and are likely to move up with their 32-0 whipping of Concordia last Saturday. This is the highest the Bobcats have ever been rated and Coach Jerry Joy's teain shows little sign of letting up.

Peru's volleyball team should not be overlooked. Ti;ley have won many games already and have faired very well in tournament play. Maxine Mebus should-be commended for the job she is doing. ·

I would.like to congratuate the King· and Queen candidates for Homecoming. They are Kevin Niday, Roosevelt Brown, Rick Neubauer and Rhea Spears, Julie Brinkman and Renee Cheney, respectively. The coronation will be tomorrow during

halftime of the Peru-Benedictine football game. Best of luck to all of you!

Before we get the idea that everything is great around Peru, I would like to air one gripe that I have. -Whoever changed the sign that is located out in front of the Education Building never accomplished nearly as much laughter as the trouble it caused for the college.

Praliks such as this do very little good for your school and was actually destruction of school property. Why is it that whenever we get something good at school there has to be such vandalism? The answer to this may never be known.

The purpose of the sign is to improve campus communication and advertise important events that are upcoming. This is another way for us to become better aware of what is going on and if such destnictive actions are continued I am sure that the sign will not be used any more. We will miss this service to us by the Public Relations office more than any of us realiz(!.

Just think of how many times you have glanced up there and seen an event that you knew was scheduled but had forgotten about it. I know that I would miss it and I don't thilik anyone wants it discontinued.

Let's all show a little more pride in our school and make sure that things like this do not happen again. •

by Jim Anderson,

How many football games are planned as the season opens?

Any good coach knows you plan · in advance. You try to make good decisions and attempt to change bad ones made in the past well before the first game. I know that and I don't claim to know anything about any sport.

So why is it that we wait until it's really too late to.do anything about getting concerned about important things? Why is it that pollution has to get so bad t)lat even rain is starting to kill things and people are getting cancer from chemicals that were dumped a feW:iyears ago and are now seepinl!l into drinking water?

Why do we keep saying "Its

not that bad" or there's not enough radiation to be "harmful" or "there's more short term benefits than long term detriments?" Why will the world you and I get be less healthy for us than it was for our parents when they got it?

We. only have one environment and it can't clean itself as fast as we're making it dirty. The .rradioactivity and the chemicals build up and up until, if the human were a meat producing animal, he wouldn't be able to. pass the inspection given to beef. He's too cantaminated with his own chemicals.

Acollege education, one of the most valuable things ·we will have when we go for our careers,

is by no means the answer to what has to be the most important crisis we face. After all, don't a lot of people who do the damage to this world have college educations too?

What is needed are a few more courses in forsight and sensitivity. Maybe even a few more intelligent people-really intelligent people who know right from wrong and can think about tomorrow. I guess it's all the same thing.

College is a place to learn toleration, patience, and understanding aside from the classroom work, as is evident at Peru. If we can be successful at doing it here, how many of us will contribute?

Manager's Job is Not An Easy One

by Norman Parish

"I have a lot of headaches but it's fun,'' said Billy Jo Stevicks, student manager for the Bobcat football team.

Stevicks, better known around ·campus as B.J., is a freshman from Dawson. He played defensive safety for DawsonVerdon High School last year and his football interest hasn't stopped there. His desire to become involved in football continued after high school and he was encouraged by one of his instructor's, Rick Spears, a former PSC .student. Billy's involvement in football this time is as a student manager instead or actually

"Spirit Week" lJnderway

"Spirit Week," the Student '. Senate sponsored Most Spirited Organization contest, began Monday morning at 8:00 a.m. So "far, according to Student Programs Coordinator Betsy Billiard, as of Monday evening, 8 · eampus organizations have plans for activities.

They are: Morgan Hall, the English Club, Delta Kappa Chi sorority, the Rodeo Association, 'Nicholas-Pate Hall, Circ!e K, MENC, and Sigma Beta Chi fraternity. In addition, a group ealled "Camelot" living in the basement at Delzell Hall have registered with Betsy.

Planned activities range from entries in tomorrow's Home-

Parade to be Peru's Biggest

coming Parade and raven burnings tonight to Camelot's .kite fight and Sigma Beta Chi's Spirit Party at the Little Acorn. Activities are graded on a point system by two judges, Placement and Career Counseling Director Dw!ght Garman and College Relations Pat Larson. There will be no third judge as was hoped because, according to Betsy, "no one was interested except. the two already chosen."

An award will be presented.to the most spirited organization at halftime of tomorrow's football game against the Benedictine Ravens.

Parking Arramgernemts

Negotiations are being conducted to lease the lot north of the Centennial Complex for parking facilities. It is planned that the arrangements will be completed prior to Homecoming.

On the day of Homecoming a shuttle bus service will ooerate

from the Centennial Complex parking area and take a route past the newly leased lot, HPER Center, football field, parking lot behind Morgan Hall and return to the Centennial Complex.

This service will be from 12: 00 noon to 2:00 p.m.

The 1980 Homecoming parade is going to be one of the biggest ones ever in Peru history, according to Paul Fell, one of the parade organizers.

There will be 61 units, \ncluding ten area marching bands, two mounted groups, two Shriner groups, a National Guard unit, several clowns and many floats.

The parade will start at 10 a.m. in front of the Industrial Arts building and proceed down main street as far north as the grain elevator.

Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Ritchie will be this year's Grand Marshalls and Jeff Jordan, Omaha World Herald columnist will present the five winning floats with trophies during halftime of the Peru-Benedictine football game.

Paul Fell, Susan Gladstone and Betsy Billiard have done much to make this year's Homecoming a success.

participating as a· player. Of ·course the main reason for his wishing to not be out there on the field could just be the fact that he has a five foot two-inch, one hundred and fifteen pound frame.

"Some of the guys on the team tease me about my size and call me such names as "shorty," "shrimp" and "macho-midget," he added.

Stevicks main duties as manager are fixing equipment and handing it out, keeping inventory and distributing water.

He concluded, "I love football and enjoy being around the team. I'll probably end up coaching the game some day."

/ Pool_ Acceptance Soom

by Cheryl White

The acceptance of PSC's new swimming pool is awaiting a decision from the State Colleges Board of Trustees.

Harold Deselms, Vice President for Administration, said there are no serious problems with the pool at the time, and it should be approved."

The construction of the pool started in June 1978. The Olympic-size pool has six lanes and is 13 feet deep in the diving area, and has three meter and one meter diving boards.

There are no legal hang-ups or construction problems at this time and the Board may possibly approve it at the next meeting scheduled for October 4th, according to Mr. Deselms.

PSC Campus Gets Prepared

Maintenance crews have been busy preparing the campus for all visitors and alumni who will be in Peru for both Homecoming and the HPER dedication ceremonies. Some of the tasks they have done are painting the light poles, cleaning parking lots, cleaning the lights and even poured a sidewalk.-<Photo by Mike Northrup).

Peru Shuts Out, Concordia

A strong second half led by quarterback Mike Haney gave Peru State a convincing 32-0 win at Seward Concordia last Saturday. The Bobcats are off to a 3-0 start this season for the first time since 1962.

Peru will host Benedictine (Kan.) tomorrow in the 1980 Homecoming matchup that promises to be an outstandirig offensive battle. Benedictine's Ravens boast one of the top passing attacks in the NAIA despite their 1-3 record.

Peru State looked impressive in its first true road game of the season at Concordia. The Bobcat defense was at its best, shutting out a Concordia squad that had posted 52 points one week earlier. A strong second half offensive showing kept the 'Cats statistics at a high average (425 yards per game average). Peru State outyarded Concordia 436156.

Quarterback Mike Haney, a 6-3, 185-pound sophomore from McCook, was at his best against Concordia. Haney hit 15 of 25 passes for 190 yards and two

touchdowns, and he galloped 22 yards for another score. Haney is hitting 55 per cent of his passes this year and has yet to be intercepted.

Running back Alvin Holder, the leading ground gainer in the nation according to NAIA charts, was devastating as he gained 168 yards on 31 carries. Holder has 509 yards in just. three games for an average of 169.7 yards per game.

Fullback Marv McGill gained 64 yards on 19 carries and scored on runs of three and 20 yards.

Wide receiver Roosevelt Brown caught eight passes for 63 yards ·and one touchdown, and freshman tight end Todd McFarland's first collegiate reception resulted in a 12-yard score. Kicker Jeff Frields was two-for-three on the day.

Defensive standouts included senior linebacker Mike Liewer and senior tackle Mike Harley with 10 stops each. Liewer, a Peru native, is PSC's leading tackler thus far this season.

Volleyballers Drop Two

The Lady Bobcat volleyball team returned from a triangular at Omaha empty-handed last Friday. The Lady 'Cats lost by two sets to one against the host College of St. Mary and to Wayne State.

Peru faced Wayne State in the opener and lost 7-15 in the first set. Coach Maxine Mehus' spikers roared back to win the second set 15-3, but they couldn't hold the momentum and lost the third set 9-15. Against the Flames of St. Mary, Peru opened with a 15-11 first-set win. The hosts rallied to win the second and third sets, 7-15 and 12-15.

Leading scorers for Peru were

Jodi Singleton with 17 points, and Julie Brinkman with 15. Brinkman led the downed spikes category with 16, followed by Rene Cheney with 15.

Three freshmen on the squad turned in good efforts according to Coach Mebus. Lorrie Curnes, Carla Frauen and Cindy McCune all played well in relief.

Highlighting action this week is a pair of home performances.

The first Homecoming celebration was held on November 30, 1922. The football game was a contest between the freshmen and the sophomores. Over the fifty-four years since the Bobcats first hosted an opponent, they have won thirty, lost twenty-two, and tied two. Peru and Chadron have each won six in twelve of.those games for the strongest homecoming rivelry, and the "Cats" hold a 7-1 homecoming record over this years homecoming foe, the Benedictine Ravens.

Residency Liberalized

Residency requirements will be cut from a year .to six months beginning July 1, .1981 after the unanimous approval of the Board of Trustees:

Meeting at Peru last Saturday, the board took part in the Homecoming weekend and the dedication of the HPERGente!'.

"State colleges because of their location, will be better able to service their regional areas extending across state lines,"

Dr. Edwin Nelson, president of the President's Council of the Board of Trustees, said. Nelson is president of Chadron State College.

Three of the four state colleges, Chadron State, Peru State and Wayne State are close to bordering states. Prospective students from Wyoming, Colorado, South Dakota, Kansas, Iowa and Missowti, will find a Nebraska state college edilcation more Nelson said. And, hopefully, they will stay to work in Nebraska. Taxpayers will be added to the tax role with the mlidification of residency requirements, he said. ·In-state tuition currently is $19 per credit hour and $34 for an out-Of-state student's credit hour at the four State Colleges.

Dr. Don Deselms, chairman of the Board of Trustees Council of Academic Officers, also of Chadron State, said, "Students who will decide to become residents of Nebraska: will be registered to vote, pay taxes and register their cars in Nebraska.

The policy was addressed now / because of recent changes in state law. Rules and regulations will be developed in consultation · with other sections of public higher education in Nebraska.

In order for an out-of-state student to qualify for a six-month Nebraska residency, documents must be presented by the student to the prospective college that includes, a current Nebraska driver's license, proof of voter registration, car registration from Nebraska, own a home in Nebraska, be employed in Nebraska or present copies of a Nebraska State income tax return.

Trustees voted to demand action by Busboom Construction Co., contractor on the new Peru State NPER Center, to stop leakage from its indoor swimming pool. This is the reason why the pool has not been opened to students as of yet.

BEOG Changed

by

Darrell Wellman

Congress has. passed the bill and President Carter has signed into law the Education Act oC-1980," according t_o Donald Miller, director of financial aids at PSC.

The compromise bill worked out between the House and Senate will have some effects on most types of aid but will be more .noticeable with the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant <BEOG).

One of the changes is that the program will be renamed the Pell grant, after the Senator from Rhode Island, who was very influential in establishing the Basic Grant Program, according to Mr. Miller.

The BEOG had an eight se;,1ester limit but the new Pell will drop the fo\lr year limit and change the period of time to as long as the student is pursuing undergraduate study.

Another change is that the

BEOG had a yearly limit of 50 per cent of the cost attending college (or $1800 as the limit is in Peru). This limit will be raised by several hundred dollars.

The new bill will raise the percentages by five per cent a year beginning 1982 over the next fiye-years. The figures that were approved are as follows:

1981-82, 50 per cent of cost or 1900 <whichever is smaller)

1982-83, 55 per cent of cost or $2100, (whichever is smaller).

1983-84, 60 per cent of cost, or $2300 (whichever is smaller).

1984-85, 65 per cent of cost or $2500, (whichever is smaller).

1985-86, 70 per cent of cost or $2600, (whichever is smaller).

The increase in both figures is supposed to help cover the increasing cost of education and continue to provide many persons tbe opportunity to attend col)ege and obtain a degree.

The College Work Study Program was changed in that it

Highlighting a weekend of Homecoming Festivities, the HPER Center was dedicated last Saturday afternoon with Dr. Ervin R. Pitts, chairman of the Physical Education. Division, as master of ceremonies.

U.S. Congressman Douglas Bereuter said, "I'll have to admit I indicated I wanted to bt! involved in ,today's activities. So many people have. participated in order to make this day a reality."

He took the audience remembering back to September 1976 and relived the initial planning for the new facility that began in a "gloom atmosphere." Many times, he said, 1t didn't seem that we could get the job done. He congratulated the people of the area for working together.

"We'll all benefit from this facility," Bereuter who introduced L B. 171 in early 1977 as a State Senator, as will athletes today and future athletes and those that love sports. L.B. 171 authorized construction of the building.

Remarks by other officials included State Senators Nelson Merz, Falls City, and Calvin Carsten, Avoca. The Rev Nicholas Baker, St. Clara's Catholic Church, Peru, gave the invocation and the benediction. George Rebensdorf, Omaha, Chairman of the State College Board of Trustees, delivered greetings from the State College Board of Trustees.

Dr. David Edris led the PSC band in the National Anthem and

the concluding college song. Ward Reesman, State College Board Trustee from Falls City, welcomed guests to Peru and led the choral reading of the school poem.

Amember of the PSC Student Senate and of the State College Board of Trustees, Sherry Biere, welcomed the audience to Peru. President Larry A. Tangeman introduced guests and presented plaques to Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Ritchie, Auburn, and the Steinhart Foundation, Majors Hall campaign contributors.

The dedi,cation program concluded with a Masonic Cornerstone ceremony with the Peru Masonic Lodge .and state Masonic dignitaries officiating.

U.S. Congressman Douglas Bereuter, who was instrumental in making the HPER Center become a reality, speaks about benefits that have come with completion of It. Also in the picture from the left are Dr. Ervin Pitts, Calvin

is authorized 670-million in fiscal 1981 and this figure will increase to $820-million by 1985.

Institutions will be able to use up to 10 per cent of its allocation to support part-time students. It also increases from $15,000 to $25,000 the amount of money a college can spend from its work study funds to find jobs for students.

The Supplementary Educational Opportunity Grant also was revised. The maximum award was raised from $1,000 to $2,000 a year. The present cumulative limit of eight semesters was also eliminated as was done in the Pell and the $4,000 limit over the course of undergraduate work was also scratched.

The loan programs will show increases in the interest rate to be paid after leaving school. Both loans will now h.ave. to. be

repaid six months after leaving school instead of the nine month period that has been allowed. This only refers to new loans however, and not those that were made prior to the passing of the bill.

Guaranteed Student Loans will see an increase in the interest rate from seven to nine per cent. The interest rate will, however, drop to eight per cent if the interest paid on U.S. Treasury bills drops to below nine per cent.

There is also the introduction of loans to parents. It is a

program of guaranteed Joans for parents of dependent students only. It allows parents to borrow up to $3,000 a year for each child in college up to a total of $15,000.

Parents must begin repayment 60 days after they receive the loan and interest will be nine per cent. The rate will drop as in the previous loans if the. Treasury bills drop to below nine per cent.

If anyone has any questions about their financial eligibility they should see Mr. Miller and he will be glad to explain all of the changes.

Letter to the Editor

Managing Editor

Dear Darrell:

People who write poetry with a moral, message or statement ought to do so on bathroom walls or perhaps ought to send it via Western Union: I DO NOT solicit such stu_ff for "Plainsongs," as your October 3 issue would have it. Furthermore, the magainze is NOT intended as an outlet for student work; Peru State has an appropriate magazine for that purpose, "Sifting Sands."

I have so far received telephone calls from as far away as Seattle (and some eyen from Brock) offering me' totally inappropriate work; war is bad,

people get old, and we ought to treat animals kindly-I know that, but I refuse to publish it. I might visit Seattle anyway though; it's a pleasant spot. Those mountains! Wow!!

May I also offer in closing the observation that I think student · AND faculty support of the recent production of "Charley's Aunt" was stinking, disgraceful, and annoying? There is no NOT, please note, in the foregoing sentence. While I realize that the misprint above is NOT _your · fault, I do appreciate your publishing this correction.

Sincerely R. E. Stratton Editor, "Plainsongs"

Vandalism Discussed

by Cheryl White

Vandalism was the main issue discussed at the Student Senate meeting October 1. There has been such activity reported by several students on Peru State Campus. It appears that security cannot patrol all areas as often as necessary.

The Senate decided to send letters to Peru Mayor Jack Mcintire, PSC President Larry A. Tangeman and to campus security proposing that the Peru police patrol the campus. Even though city officers cannot make arrests on the state property, they can hold the suspect until state authorities arrive.

The Student Senate feels intensifying security will decease vandalism and make the campus a safer place.

Another issue discussed was the approval of some college organizations constitutions. The following constitutions were approved, according to Jim Anderson, member of Political Committee:

Women's Athletic Association.

Baptist Student Union.

Phi Beta Lambda.

Peru State Home Economics Club.

Circle K Club

PSC Cheerleaders.

Kappa Delta Pi Clayburn-Mathews Association.

Anderson: Off the Record career FOir/80

by Jim Anderson

So, here I sit on my orange library chair, thinking about the people I'd like most to reach, trying to come up with ·something thought provoking or just plain entertaining to put into the next issue of the Pedagogian (yes, the name of this paper is the Pedagogian, i e the Bearer of News, which is to say Teacher).

It's ·really difficult. Take entertainment for example. Do you know what it's like trying to entertain with a newspaper? How easy could it be to put a keg of beer into these few inches?

A football game would be ideal-that would keep some people happy for weeks. It would also, however, tear up these pages and make it impossible for people interested in reading to find out for sure what's going on in the way of upcoming events. Then again, there's the old problem of space. Football teams are pretty big you know. So, I guess I have to settle for thought provocation-maybe not, since that's not as easy as it sounds either. I think that the administration would sort of frown on centerfolds. Parents would wonder what kind of

school this is. Maybe not. Either way I'm stuck here with a blank ream and a silent typewriter staring me in the face. No way to win. I wonder how my editor does it.

I sometimes wonder if we need either more people who are more easily amused or sent into thought land (say by the written word, for example and I don't mean just one) or less distraction from what could be an over mechanized or at least less thought producing entertainment industry.

Continuing Ed Off ice Moved

by Dave Gray

The Office of Continuing Education at PSC has been relocated this year to Room 113 in the Education Building. Originally one room, and unused for the past few years, it was remodeled last summer and. divided into three rooms. There will be an office for the head of the dep.artment, Mary Ruth Wtlson, another for Secretary Mary Anna Gnade, and a conference room.

Mrs. Wilson said that her original office in the Fine Arts Building was adequate when the Department began in'l976. Since then, however, the program has expanded and, that new, larger offices were desperately needed.

The Continuing Education Department deals primarily with adults. At present there are 10 to 12 learning centers set up in towns in this area to offer

New Reference Librarian

Irple Ruby is PSC',s new librarian in charge of the Reference Section and Interlibrary Loans.

Ms. Ruby graduated this May from Emporia State University in Kansas, where she earned her Master's Degree in Library Science.

Ms. Ruby graduated from high school in Whidbey, Washington. Following which she worked as a typesetter at newspapers in several areas and finally at a nursing home, before deciding that she wanted to be a librarian and "work with young people,"

she said.

Ruby went back to school in 1968 and received her Bachelor's Degree in Education from Chadron State College and her Master's from Emporia. This is her first position since leaving school and she holds the position last occupied by Jennifer Kerchman, who accepted another job at a library in Omaha.

When asked what she thinks of Peru, Ms. Ruby said, "I like it a lot." "This college has the most beautiful campus I've seen," she concluded.

J<iAnn Rohrs, Nemaha County Clerk, said she wants to get Nemaha county students registered and help out-of-state students gain their absentee ballot. This ballot is required for those who'claim non-residency in this county. If students are unable to find transportation to Auburn, arrangements can be made through the county clerk for help in receiving absentee ballots with a toll free call to 274-4213.

Ms. Grace Parde, also a member of the Auburn County Clerk's office, has stated it is important to register. If out-ofstate students wish to claim legal residency in this county an absentee· ballot is not necessary.

Hytrek Assigned Dual-Posts

by Linda Kluge

Dr. Jack Hytrek has been elected to dual posts by the Association of Teacher Educators (ATE). Hytrekis director of the Teaching-Learning Center at PSC.

He was appointed on both state and national levels of the ATE. On the latter one he is a member of the Meetings Committee. He is Membership Chairman for Nebraska ATE and a delegate from the State of Nebraska to the national assembly of the Association of Teacher Educators. , He participated last weekend at an ATE meeting in Norman, Oklahoma, and will attend the

national convention in Dallas, Texas in February.

He was eager to stress the classes that are being given in the TLC (Teaching-Learning Center) in the Education Building, particularly the writing lab that is directed by Dr. Russell Stratton. This class is to aid students in writing skills.

The TLC is again offering the four study skills had last year, with a total of 19 students enrolled. This number is up several from the same class last year. He wants all students to know that there is still time to enroll in the classes.

In addition to the new Writing Lab, which is open from 2-5 every Monday, Wednesday and

Wilson said that it is possible, due to the number of courses now offered, for a person to achieve a college degree away fromcollege.TheDepartmentis alse> in cooperation with sec at Fairbury to set up centers there and at Beatrice, which offer external degree programs in Business and Accounting.

Two of the most recent projects offered are classes in college physics and college algebra at the Cooper Nuclear Power Plant at Brownville, and a class in Syracuse.

As well as offering classes off campus, the Department also works with vatious state agencies (Head Start, Nebraska ,.COmmission for the Humanities, Blue Valley Mental Health. Nemaha County Hospital,) and other colleges at Fairbury, UNL, and is beginning working with SCC at Milford in coordinating

and administering programs.

Mrs. Wilson said that the conference room was needed to provide a place for groups of people to coordinate programs and as a comfortable place to administer GED tests, tests for correspondence courses, and test for master's degrees. Until this year, tests were administered in the hallway of the F .A. building.

"The college has provided us a space that is not only convenient for us and the students who are taking individual and specialized tests," Mrs. Wilson said, "but also presents a more professional image to business and professional people off-eampus who desire to make use of the services of this department." ·

Bob Harde, one of the carpenters involved in the remodeling of the room over the summer said, "It's the best room on this campus."

Homecoming Bonfire is a Success

Coach Joy Is all smiles as he lights the bonfire last Friday night. He Introduced the seniors on the team, gave his outiook on the game, and thanked everyone for all of the support the Bobcats are getting this season. <Photo by Mike Northrup).

Thursday afternoons, the other classes offered by the TLC include General Study Skills, ,Test Anxiety, Listening and Note Taking, and Vocabulary Expan· sion. Exact dates and times of these classes are posted in ,the TLC office.

The lab is not only for those experiencing writing difficulties, but also for people who just want to improve their writing skills. According to Dr. Hytrek, the TLC in general has seen more students this year than last. He said that this increase indicates more students wanting to be successful and doing something about it.

Anyone interested in information about TLC or study skill classes is strongly encouraged to drop by his office: Hytrek also noted this year has started well for his center and he hopes to keep it going that way.

Peru Shuts· Out Ravens

Alvin Holder rushed for a school record·242 yards to lead Peru State to a 31-0 shutout over Benedictine (Kan.) in the Bobcat Homecoming last Saturday. The 'Cats visit Nebraska Wesleyan tomorrow for a 7:30 contest against the Plainsmen.

The Bobcats under Coach Jerry Joy are off toa 4-0 start for the first time since 1961. Peru State was ranked ninth in last week's NAIA Division II poll, but may have moved up thanks to the losses of two higher-rated teams on Saturday. Ratings came out on Wednesday and this week's standings were not available at press time.

Holder's outstanding performance was bolstered by the scrappy play of the Bobcat defense, which logged its second consecutive shutout. The Benedictine Ravens were limited to 30 yards rushing on the day and 179 yards total offense Defensive Coach Terry Gilliland's defenders have allowed only 65 rushing yards in the last two games combined.

A full-house crowd of over 3,000 spectators were on hand to watch the Bobcafs as they got off to. a slow start against the Raven team. Jeff Frields' first career field goal, a 32-yard kick, gave Peru a 3-0 ·1ead following our lint offensive.

Though the Cats moved the bill well all aftemoon, it wasn't ·j!!til 2:07 remained in the half l!iore the first touchdown was

registered,.with Holder circling the left end for a 14-yard score.

Frields added the PAT and Peru led 10-0 at the half.

The Bobcats picked up another touchdown in the third period when sophomore quarterback Mike Haney hit senior wide receiver Roosevelt Brown with his fifth scoring pass of the season, this time covering three yards. Brown caught nine passes for 93 yards on the, day, while Haney completed 13 of 22 tosses for 109 yards. Haney suffered his first two interceptions of the season on Saturday.

Holder iced the game with a one-yard plunge with 5:14 remaining following a Be.nedictine turnover. the day was not yet over for the 5-9, 190-pound junior from Tampa, Fla.

With just 38 seconds remaining and the Bobcats on their nine yard line, Holder burst through the middle of the line, cut left and rambled 91 yards for the score. A key block by Rosey Brown at midfield allowed Holder to go the distance.

Frields added his fourth PAT in as many attempts, and the final score stood at 31-0.

D.W.I.

Darrell Wellman Involved

I'm not sure how many on campus know it but "Death of a Salesman" will not be the next production done by the PSC drama department. The play was sheduled for later in November, but because of a lack of students trying out for the play, Dr. Charles Harper has had to drop it and pick a production to better fit the numbers who attended tryouts last week.

According to Dr. Harper, there were not enough men who tried out to fill the male roles in the production. The play "Charley's Aunt" barely had enough actors try out for it to fill the c&st, he told me. Now, he' is busy selec.ting an alternate play and at the time of this writing, the title was not known.

It must be disappointing to have all about the production planned out several months in advance and then have to quickly change everything because of a lack of actors. I think attendance for this particular production would have been good since the play is one of the required projects to be completed in the Appreciation of Literature class. It is a big disappointment to me just as I am sure it is to most Peru students.

There must be a lack of communication on campus and that is one of the reasons this paper is put out for you students. I had left a slot in the last paper on page two for an announcement about auditions, but

·through the layout of the .paper it was accidentally omitted. It makes me feel a little responsible for this lack of communication but J,won't place all of the responsibility on my shoulders.

We need to better utilize our bulletin boards around campus. How many times have I looked at them and seen that they are crowded and a person can't even see half of the articles? Then on closer observation, some of them are outdated.

It seems to me that our bulletin boards aren't the only reason the auditions were so small and maybe those interested in drama need to show a little more of that enthusiasm so something like this doesn't happen again.

The new play will also be a drama and is scheduled for the same dates (Nov. 20-24) to the best of my ·knowledge. Maybe there would be a little more enthusiasm shown by potential actors if the college turned out in larger numbers to see the productions when they are done. It must be disappointing for those who put in weeks of work and practice and then perform before a practically empty · house. You might remember a letter written .to me about this in my last issue.

I think the drama department needs a little jolt of enthusiasm arid I. hope Dr. Harper gets everything to work out fine. You can be sure that he is doing as fine <if a job as possible.

by Linda Kluge

Morgan Hall won the Most Spirited Organization award at Homecoming ceremonies Oct. 4. Dorm President Cindy Potter accepted the spirit plaque during halftime festivities of the Peru-Benedictine football game.

According to Dorm Director Rhea Spears, Morgan conducted a number of activities that earned them the award. These activities included floor decora · tion, lobby decoration, dress-up day, Blue and White day, a Bobcat T-shirt and button contest, games night, the ,creation of a raven for the bonfire, and entering a float for

the Homecoming parade.

All three floors of Morgan competed for one that was the best decorated. The winner was third floor, with a "Sesame Street" theme.

Rhea said winning the contest was fun and exciting, and that she was happy the hall and floor governments were able to work together so well. She was especially pleased to note that everyone involved was "very enthused about Homecoming" and the Homecoming projects, and that there was "a lot of competition." She added, in emphasis, that she hopes this enthusiasm will be carried on into other activities.

Association of which she is a member. (She is also a member of the National Parks and Recreation Association and the National Wildlife Federation).

When she was asked what she thinks of her job of organizing campus activities, she says that she likes it but that it's really hectic. "I can't see how anyone can become bored in Peru," she said.

So far, Betsy has been busy but, she says, "We can expect excellent student programs and a good strong Student Senate. Miss Billiard is one of the faculty-staff advisors of the Student Senate and helped the Senate's Political Committee, along with Rita Ervin, in preparing their new revised Constitution.

Miss Billiard fills the position vacated by Patti George this past May.

There were a few contests that stimulated residents to decorate halls, doors, and skywalks. Palmer Hall had an overall floor contest and gave money prizes for the best decorated floor and the top two decorated doors. Winners included second floor, and door 13 of Palmer, belonging to Elaine Cecetka and Sherri Post.

A three-way tie for second best decorated door was between Palmer residents Dayle Trout and Mary Sue Frederick of room 21; Sue Gerraughty and Renee Patsch of room 33; and Pat Ottemann, Pam Thompson, Karen Gerking and Rhonda Synovec of room 34.

Clayburn-Mathews didn'thave official contests, however, some residents did decorate to get into the homecoming mood. C-M, in collaboration with DavidsonPalmer, sponsored a dance Nicholas-Pate had no contests, but many decorations helped put residents in the spirit of things.

Bobcats

Trounce NWU 49-2

The Bobcats reached the midway point of the 1980 season with an unblemished record after a solid 49-2 win over Nebraska Wesleyan at Lincoln last Saturday. Peru State hosts the rival Chadron State Eagles for a 2p.m. contest tomorrow.

Coach Jerry Joy's offense continued to chrew up yardage and his defenders continued to give yards away grudgingly as the Bobcats upped their record to 5-0, the best start since Al Wheeler's 1959 club.

The Bobcats outyarded their hosts 532-102, led by the nation's leading small-college rusher, Alvin Holder, with 221 yards. It was Holder's second straight 200-yard output, and gives him 972 yards on the year. Wide receiver Roosevelt Brown caught three scoring strikes and had · seven total catches for 104 yards. Quarterback Mike Haney hit 13 of 19 tosses for 164 yards and three touchdowns.

Defensively, Peru State gave up only 60 rushing yards and 42 passing yards, and they have

held thefr opponents without a touchdown for 12 quarters. Peru State has outscored their opponents 184-24, after five games;

Holder opened the scoring with a 12-yard run just one minute and 23 seconds into the game following a Wesleyan fumble. JeU Frields booted the first of his seven successful PAT attempts, and the 'Cats were ahead to stay.

Wesleyan -scored next when Plainsman Craig Beebe caught Rosey Brown in ·the endzone trying to return_a punt. Beebe's safety was to be the ·only Plainsman score.

Holder, who carried the ball 40 times on the night, got his second touchdown on a one-yard plunge to cap one of several long Peru drives. Frields added the extra point.

Rosey Brown hauled in a 26-yard strike from Mike Haney with just 19 seconds left in the half to up the tally to •21-2.

Frields kicked the PAT.

The Bobcats took the secondhalf kickoff and marched 80 yards in over six and one half minutes, with Lincoln freshman Doug Barlow hauling in his first collegiate scoring pass, an 11-yard strike from Haney. Frields' kick was good, and the score stood at 28·2. ·

The 'Cats added three more scores in the final period. Haney pitched 10 yards to Brown for the first score. Haney's backup, Lincoln freshman Mrk Sievers, came in and accounted for the final two scores, the first on a nine yard scramble and the fast on a 30-yard strike _to Brown. Frields converted after each score.

The Chadron State Eagles are coming off a last-minute 28-24 loss to once-beaten Hastings College. They have proved to be one of Peru's toughest foes, winning 11 of the last 13 matchups. Peru spoiled the Eagles' Homecoming, 10·9 last year.

Propst Chosen Game Director

PSC Sports Information Director Kent Propst has received notification that he has been approved to serve the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) as Ganie Press Box Director for the 1980 NAIA national championship football playoffs. 1

In his third year as Peru State SID, Propst received word from Charles Eppler, Director of Communications for the Kansas City-based NAIA.

"It is a real honor to be selected. l am grateful for the opportunity to serve the NAIA. It would be especially nice if Peru State earns a spot in the playoffs and I were to serve as Director for the Peru game," the 1975 Seward High School graduate said.

Lady 'Cats Try Hord But Lose

The Lady Bobcat volleyball team has been experiencing tough luck the last few games and has been unable to win contests.

Coach Mebus' team has several games left to turn this around and pictured from left are Gtevon Covault, Robin Nelson and Julie Brinkman.

Volleyballers Lose to Both Creighton and Concordia

The Lady Bobcats finished a disappointing week in volleyball Oct. 9 with a tough loss to Creighton University. The Lady Jays, who had handed Peru .a sound defeat earlier this season, were surprised by the much improved Lady 'Cats, but managed to hold on win by scores of 11-15, 15-13, 3-15, 15-13 and 13-15.

Peru lost to Concordia Teachers College at Seward earlier in the week, S-15, 9-15 and 10-15. We had defeated the Lady Bulldogs twice this taking all three sets from CTC m a dual at Peru and two out of three sets during Peru's Invitational Volleyball Tournament.

Co-captaiti Rene Cheney led in · scoring and downed spikes for Peru during the tense, five-set contest with Creighton. Cheney delivered 17 good serves for 11 points and downed 10 spikes.

Laura Pollman and Carla Frauen added nine points each and sophomore Robin Nelson was second in downed spikes with eight.

Scoring against Concordia's Lady Bulldogs was led by Diana Stanley, with five points, followed by Jodi Singleton and co-captain Julie Brinkman,with four points each. i:to_nda Schroeder dominated in downed spikes with 10.

_Holder Increases lead -

Junior running back Alvin Holder increased his national rushing lead after his 242-yard effort against Benedictine Col· lege Oct. 4, according to last week's NAIA national statistical report.

The Game Press Box Director is a representative of the NAIA Sports Information Directors Association (NAIA-SIDA) who is responsible for the supervision of the press box operation, services to media covering the game, and selection of the outstanding player award recipients, according to Propst.H a person is assigned this responsibility, the NAIA pays expenses to and from the game and also_ his room and boar_d during his stay.

Propst, a senior in journalsim, has bee_n sports editor of, the Ped for nearly three years -and was interim College Relations Director for two months.

Holder rushed for 751 yards in four games to give him an average of 187.8 yards per game, well ahead of second-place David Cunningham of William Jewell at 160.4.

Alvin's rushing production actually rated him in twelfth place nationally in total offense, a category usually reserved exclusively for quarterbacks. He was also tied for ninth place in individual scoring, averaging nine points per game. Holder was selected NAIA District 11 "Player of the Week" after the Benedictine game, his second such honor this season.

Roosevelt Brown, senior wide receiver, moved into third place

in punt returns, according to the NAIA report. Brown was averaging 20 .1 yards per runback. Brown's 80.5yardaverage per game in pass_ receiving was good enough for a tie in 15th place national1y in last weeks rankings. ·

The Peru State defense earned itself a spot in the national stats last week on the strength of their second consecutive shutout. The 'Cats'have allowed only 22 points this season, an average of 5.5 points per game, ·which was seventh nationally.

After four contests, the Bobcat offense continued to rank high in the nation. The 'Cats were averaging 33.8 points per game, gopd for a tie for sixth place. pergame total offense ranked ninth in the nation, and the team rushing offense rated - twelfth at 276.8 yards per game. ·

Injuries Plague Peru

Injuries and illness took their toll on the Peru State cross country team as they placed last in the 10-team Concordia Invitational at Seward on Oct. 3.

Registration Drive a Success

County Clerk JoAnn Rohrs talks with one of the fifty students who registered to vote last Thursday at a table set up by the Bob Inn.

Self Interest, Enrollment Up _Alums Return in Show

For the second consecutive year, PSC is offering students a personalized tutoring system called the Teaching Learning Center. TLC coordinator, Dr. Jack Hytrek, assistant professor of education, commented that the enrollment this year, as compared to last year at this time, has increased an estimated 25 per cent, and he gives credit to the fact that "there are more students interested in improving, and faculty members are more interested in seeing students be successful."

This year, tutoring is offered in Test Anxiety, which ranges from .taking simple quizzes to preparing for Medical School or Graduate School entrance exams. The sessions deal with general methods of studying and preparation for exams as well as how to relax physically while taking exams.

Other sessions offered are Listening and Note Taking, Vocabulary Expansion and a general session for various classes that individuals may request help in.

One addition to the TLC program is a Writing Lab under the direction of Dr. Russell Stratton, English professor. The sessions are staffed by Lab

Supervisor Mrs. Lillian -Schottenhamel, who is a former PSC English instructor, and student tutors.

Student tutors are generally selected from upperclass students who have been recommended by advisors. PSC sophomore-, Roxanne Gottula, from Elk Creek, started out as a student seeking help and ended up as a tutor. She commented that the TLC really helps and the atmosphere is friendly. "I like to see other students' problems and see if they're different from mine," said Gottula.

The program involves one-toone tutoring taking place in 15 mini-workshops, or a student may come in for a 'one shot' session to receive / help in preparing for amid-term or a final exam. An updated record is kept on each student •. who participates in the TLC, according to Hytrek.

To receive help from _the learning center, a student may· be signed up by an advisor, or may personally contact Hytrek. Sessions are set up at times convenient to the student, he said.

Hytrek stressed that even the best of students may come in for sessions. TLC isn't designed just

log to Aid Traveling Students

The Student Senate has put up a travel log to help students save on transportation costs when they care to travel.

This log is located next to the faculty lounge in the Student Center and the purpose of it is to help anyone who needs a ride or who is willing to take passengers on a trip. The trip can be local or anywhere in the 48 state area, according to Betsy Billiard, PSC

Student Programs Coordinator. If anyone is interested in finding a ride, they are to fill out the form provided near the travel log and then check periodically to see if anyone is going to the same destination.

According to Billiard, the passengers are expected to help pay for gas. With the holidays coming soon this log could help students who need rides to their homes:

for students with learning problems. but is available to any one who wants to improve.

The TLC is a federally-funded program devised by the sixyear-old NETCHE organization. NETCHE is an active consortium of Nebraska colleges and universities dedicated to the improvement of teaching and learning.

One branch of NETCHE services dealt with faculty development. Focussing on improvement of instruction, teachers were involved in analysis, video-taped lectures and surveys. Mini-grants have also been available to faculty for further development.

Two new programs are being introduced by NETCHE. One is in the mathematics area and the other is computer literacy for faculty. Hytrek cited the need for faculty knowledge and use of computers as they are being introduced into more and more fields of study.

In concluding, he explained that this year there will be a close follow-up on the student involved with the TLC and his or her improvements grade-wise. "I'm sure that what we do helps," said Hytrek, and the follow-up will show it.

"Gold Dust," a musical comedy adapted from Molier's "The Miser,'' will be presented by the Nebraska Theater Caravan at the old gymnasium November 14 at 7:30 p.m.

The show's composer, Jim Wann, is traveling as director with the Caravan, which includes two Peru State Alumni John Billings and Rob McKercher, both very active in the theater when they were here at Peru. 1

It is hoped by the Caravan that "Gold Dust" will have as great an appeal as Wann's last work, Diamond Studds, which was done two years ago. The musical was the story of Jesse James and his gang.

During a month long run of Diamond Studds in Omaha, Wann became personally involved with the Company.

The current show is a comedy set in a Colorado boom town of

the Gold Rush era, a time when it was gold dust that caught men's minds. The composition is full of action and American style music.

The cast of the company's production consists of, aside from the two Peru alumni, Andy Alsap, McCrae Hardy, Alan · Klem, Chris Kleison, Jenny Longe, Carol Mabbott, Carole Mcgee, Michael Wright, Michael Mauldin, John Wyatt, and Kip Whal.

After their performance at Peru, the Caravan will travel with this and other shows, which include "A Hans Christian Anderson Storybook," "Romeo and Juliet,'' and "A Christmas Carol." Their 1980-1981 season tour will take them as far south as Alabama and as far east as Illinois.

Another ·story by Wann may not be far off. He's currently working on another musical about railroads in Nebraska.

Grant· Means Energy Improvement

by Mary Gail Beccard

A federal energy grant to be accepted by the State Board of. Trustees, will be used for technical assistance on improvements for two campus buildings, according to Dr. Harold Deselms, vice-president for administration at PSC. Deselms said that the grant· will be used to hire an engineering firm for assistance

on improving the Science Building in the amount of $792 and the Library for $813.

This grant has been approved at the federal level and will be voted on at the next trustees meeting. The improvements will be used to conserve energy in these two buildings and a second grant is being considered for work to be done on these buildings.

Off the Record

by Jim Anderson

The Administration of this college has recently instituted a Student Ambassadors Program in which it, of course, urges students to participate.

For those not already familiar With the program, the administration proposes to choose from among the student body an elite force of ten who Will be trained to represent the student body at official functions, guide campus tours, host alumni gatherings and in general represent Peru State College.

I look at the first criteria: "A student must have a grade points average of at least 6.0." Not bad.

The student must also have presumably, well developed verbal skills, pass the usual "poise and appearance" criteria, be interested in people and their needs, display leaders}lip, be involved in some, I assume (or else not too many), extracurricular activities, be at , ease with presenting public tours, must be enrolled as a fulltime student and must attend assigned training sessions. This list is taken from a College

Relations memo ,dated October 'll, 1980. '

N:ot bad, I must admit. Not bad at all. If only some other campus organizations had such high standards. But lefs not open up that can of worms (to use an appropriate cliche)

Only one thing bothers me; however, about the program and it is for this reason that I cannot participate in or support it and that I strongly urge other ·students not to support it either.

The -Opening lines of the College Relations memo state, "The office of College Relations wants to know if you are interested in becoming a Peru , Ambassador." Innocent enough but the next few lines makes the program, in my opinion; a thorn in the paw of the student's control over their own destiny.

With the simple words, "After a short training period, you will be asked to represent .the Peru State College student body " the administration takes a step backwards in student representation.

Students chosen to represent the student body, no matter how smart they are or how well they know the rules after coming out

, of a training session, must enjoy , their office as through a mandate of the students. No more can I support the. appointment of a student ambassador as a representative by the administration than I can the appointment of the President of the Student Senate by the administration. Even if, and I don't know whether there are or

Senate Surprise Called "Mistake"

by Norm Parish

The Student Senate received an unpleasant surprise early on this semester in the form of a budget report showing three· months worth of telephone calls which totaled ove\ three hundred dollars more than it should hav.e, said Senate President Tony Nebelsick in an interview last week.

Nebelsick said Senate officers became suspicious of the reports · accuracy after obtaining a copy of the actual telephone bill, which showed that the vast majority of the calls supposedly made by the Senate were made during July and August, a period during which, at most, according to Nebelsick and also Student Programs Coordinator and Senate advisor Betsy. Billiard, only about fifty dollars in ·phone calls were made by the Senate.

Senate sources said that someone in administration was immediately suspected of making the calls and .then charging them to the Student Senate budget, which, to a large extent, comes from student activity

Feud· Comes Soon

The popul,,ar TV game show "Family Feud" is scheduled to be mimicked at PSC November 20, according to Student Programs Coordinator Betsy Billiard.

The polling of students on several of the questions to be asked contestants during the program will begin next week. ! The questions include who is the easiest and who is the most difficult instructor at PSC? Who is your favorite male and also female movie star? What is the favorite phobia at PSC? Who is the hardest guy or girl to get a date with at PSC? as well as others.

Points will be awarded to contestants who choose the same answer to the questions as the students polled and the winning family will receive prizes.

Contestants register as "families" of five member$ each. For example, the Delzell Family will consist of five persons who register from Delzell Hall. Any organization wishing to.do so can register their "family" with Betsy Billiard.

Chuck Chase, a PSC student, will serve as emcee of the show, which will begin at 8:00 p.m.

fees. The calls, it was said, were to a variety of places widely separated geographically.

Suspicians were reinforced when it was discovered that the Senate's card could not be found, only its number was available · and that, supposedly to a very few individuals.

Nebelsick said that he went to Dr. Harold DeSelms, Vice President for Administrption for help and was told that the problem would be looked in to.

Dr. DeSelms found that the overcharge was an "innocent mistake" caused by the close similarity of the Senate's credit card number to that of another.

He added that it had been the Admissions department that had made the mistake, charging their calls over the three month period to the Student Senate.

Players' "Party"

by Dave Gray

The Peru Players will present Harold Pinter's "The Birthday Party" from Nov. 20-23 at the college auditorium.

The cast includes: Mark Gall (Petey), Linda Meyer (Meg), Mark McFadden (Stanley), Codi Stewart (Lulu), Richard Wood (Goldberg), and Chuck Mittan <Mccann). Designing the set for this production is Mark McFadden, in charge of the lighting is Chuck Mittan, and in charge of discipline is the stage manager ·Dave Gray. Dr. Charles Harper is the director.

"The Birthday Party" takes place in the living room of a house in a seaside town in England. It concerns itself with a day in the life of Stanley Webber.

The play gives an audience a lot of room to speculate as to what possible meanings lie just under the surface. In fact, a number of different interpretations have been given to its contents since its firsn presentations in the early sixties-and they are not the last. Emotionally charged and somewhat mysterious, it challenges the audience as much as those on the stage.

Cagers Begin Practice

The 1980-81 Peru State basketball team began workouts Oct. 15 in preparation for the upcoming cage season, which gets underway Nov. 12-14 at the Marymount Invitational at Salina, Kan.

Third-year Coach Bill Squires has 24 athletes including six letterman (all of whom started at some point last year) vying for varsity spots. The 80-81 Bobcats will again be a young team, with no seniors on the roster. Last year's cagers logged a 5-21 record.

Squires promises Peru will be "a lot quicker" than in the past, but noted that maturity will be the key to success this winter. · He is particularly excited about his squad's move to a new home-Peru's HPER Center.

"We'll improve faster this year, thanks to the new facility" which allows plenty of practice room for Peru's expanded junior varsity program. Scott Schaefer, assistant varsity coach for· the past two years, will be switched to JV coach, and Charlie Doeden has been added as assistant varsity coach

Returning lettermen include junior co-captain Jeff Smith, a 6-2 guard from Lincoln and a third-year star.ter; junior Keith McKim, a 6-5 forward and two-year letterman from Hum-

boldt; and sophomores Kip 6-9 center and returning starter from Stromsburg; Phil

·· Baily, 6-5 forward from Omaha; Tom Johnson, 6-3 guard-forward from Lawriside, N.J.; and Brett Nanninga, 6-4 forward from Humboldt. Squires, who feels he has a good nucleus of freshman guards, led by 6-0 Gary Bender from Humphrey, 6-1 Pat Granger.from Omaha, and 5-10 Frank Johnson from Omaha. He believes the Bobcats will be helped tremend·ously by 6-3 transfer Tom Mackey, Bridgeton, N.J., when he becomes eligible second semester.

Nebraska small-college basketball will be "dog-eat-dog" this season, Squires

"Everybody is better this year-I don't think there will be any weak teams," he said.

He expects traditional champion Kearney State to be the team to beat in fhe Nebraska College Conference race, with Chadron State another contender and Wayne State unknown under a new coach.

The Bobcats make their first Nebraska appearances Nov. 20-22 in the new NAIA District 11 , tourney in Kearney. The Bobcats won't see action at home until powerful Hastings visits on Dec. 13.

Brown Breaks Game for 'Cats

A 75-yard punt return for a touchdown by Roosevelt Brown late in the third period broke a tight game wide open and Peru went on to drub Yankton (S.D.) 28-3 in Yankton last Saturday.

The 6-1 Bobcats will .host the Tabor (Kan.) Blue Jays for a 2 p.m. contest tomorrow in Peru's Oak Bowl. The Blue Jays will bring one of the top passing offenses in small college football to town.

__,

The Greyhounds of Yankton got on the board first on a 42-yard field goal late in the first period. The Bobcat offense finally got untracked in the second quarter and began to move the ball. Alvin Holder provided the go-ahead touchdown oh a 22-yard burst early in the second period that was set up by a Mark Wardian fumble recovery on the previous play. Jeff Frields added the PAT.

Football Season a· Record Breaker

Six football records have already fallen and 10 more are in jeopardy as the Bobcats continue their highly-successful 193·0 season.

The Bobcats, sporting a 6-1 record and high national ranking, will be severely tested tomorrow when quarterback Rod Wallace brings his Tabor · Blue Jays to town. The game will match up the leading small college rusher in the nation (Peru's Alvin Holder) against the nation's leading smallcollege passer (Wallace).

Holder has. shattered two school records with three games still to be played. He broke his own season rushing record last Saturday, as his 131 yards against Yankton gives him 1,250 rushing yards. He owned the old mark of 1,145 yards, set in 1978.

Holder will also set a new per-game rushing average-he could be held to no yardage in the final three games and still beat his 1978 average of 114.5 yards per contest.

Roosevelt Brown has established a pair of records himself. Brown has caught 12 touchdown passes this season, bettering his 1978 mark of eight. His 45 total receptions to date has surpassed

.John Winkel's 1972 mark of 38 catches. · ·

Mike Haney, quarterback, has broken the school record for pass completions. Haney has connected on 82 aerials thus far eclipsing Neil Laxdal's record of 63 set in 1977 and tied in '78.

Jeff Frields, kicker has moved into the record book with the most extra points in one season. Frields has drilled 30 to

date, five better than Gary Adams in 1958.

Several. records are almost sure to fall this Saturday. The 'Cats need just 133 total yards to break the record for most yards gained in a season (they have 2,873 to date, and the old record is 3,005 in 1977). In additiQn, the Bobcats need just 145 rushing yards to a new season rushing mark (they have 1, 729 to date, and the old record is 1,873 in 1973). ·

The team pass completion record is in jeopardy, with the old record being 102 in 1966 and the 'Cats having 89 to date (14 more will set the record). The record for most touchdown passes in a season could foll also; Peru has 14 to date, and the old mark is 17 set jp 1972.

The Bobcats need just seven

The Bobcat defense appeared fully recovered from the Oct. 18 upset ·by Chadron and were dominating the 'Hound offense. Peru's offense was moving the ball well, but had to settle for a 7-3 halftime lead.

The third period was more of the same, with Yankton giving up turf but not points. The close game was shattered, however, when Roosevelt Brown fielded a Yankton punt on his own 25, darted up the middle and was gone for a 75-yard score. It was Brown's first touchdown return of the season. Brown, who had been shut out of pass receptions in the first half, began to break open, and quarterback Mike Haney found him open five times in the last half. Two of the aerials went for fourth-quarter' scores, the first covering 15 yards and the last covering six yards. Jeff Frields'

first downs to establish a new mark for first downs in one season (Peru has 144 to date, with the old record 150 in 1977). The final team record in jeopardy is for most punt return yardage in a season (the old record is 371 in 1978, and Peru has netted 297 to date, with just 74 yards needed to establish the record).

Individual records in immediate jeopardy include the record

kicks were successful after each Brown score to make the final 28-3.

Holder, the leading rusher among the nation's small colleges, was held to "only" 131 yards rushing, his least-productive day of the season. It was ,enough for him to break his own season rushing record at Peru, however. Holder has 1,250 yards to date for an average of 178.6 yards per game, and has had eight consecutive 100-yard game stretching back to last season.

The 1980 Bobcat schedule is winding down, with two home, games and one road trip left to play. In addition to Saturday's matchup with Tabor, the Bobcats visit dangerous Kansas Wesleyan at Salina on Nov. 8and host rival Doane College in the regular-season finale Nov. 15. All games are slatedfar 2 p.m.

for most punt return yards (the old record is 292 yards by Rosey Brown in 1979; he needs just nine yards to break his own record). Brown is also threatening John Winkel's 1972 reception yardage record of 800 receiving yards.

Mike Haney is also threatening a pair of records. He has 1,041 passing yards to date, just 75 yards shy of Terry Criger's 1971 record of 1,115.

Alpha Chi Charter to Peru

Alpha Chi will become an active organization at PSC Nov. 25 when the college will receive the official charter and induct students who have met the society requirements for membership. Officers will be elected also.

New Pool Open for a While

The swimming pool has been closed for at least one month and probably longer for repairs and observation. It was shut down and drained after this picture of PSC students using it was taken. Pictured from left are Don Hill, Joni Vrtiska and Rick Neubauer. (Story below and photo by Mike Northrup).

Pool Closed for Repairs

Drainage was completed last week of the pool in the HPER center. according to Dr. Harold Deselms, Vice.-President for Administration.

Deselms said, "We're not sure. how long it will take for the problem of pool leakage to be corrected, but not longer than a month or two."

Durir.g the shut-down of pool facilities, the Old Gym pool will be used for classes.' Swin'related activities have been cancelled. , Action was taken because of the request from the building and pool architect, Leo Daly Co., Omaha, that the correction be made now with no further delay.

According to Deselms, both the architect and the Busboom and Rauh Construction Co., of Salina, KS., were ready to make pool corrections which will involve inspecting the pool

carefully to discover reasons for water leakage; rec'aulking, waterproofing and repainting.

Deselms said that the contract had not been settled with the general contractor. "We've known all along that the problem ·existed. It was agreed that the pool be· used while problems were studied, so we used the pool during the interim. We regret the inconvenience of pool-users, but the correction has to be made before the contract is signed," Deselms said.

When the Board of Trustees of the Nebraska State Colleges met Oct. 4 on the Peru campus, it was voted by the board to demand action of Busboom Construction Co., "to stop · leakage from the pool."

"It's no surprise that we must drain the pool," he said, "'It's just the timing that is inconvenient."

Creativity Workshop Planned

Alpha Chi, is a coeducational society whose purpose is to promote this nation-wide college honor scholarship society, and honor academic excelj.ence and exemplary character among college and university students.

Dr. Clyde Barrett, Alpha Chi sponsor, said that after one and a half years of planning, "I have been pleased with the enthusiasm that everyone has shown to get the Society started; everyone who has had to approve and provide input has thought it to be a big step forward for PSC."

Barrett said that Alpha Chi was founded on Feb. 22, 1922 at a Conference of Texas Colleges. Today there are 174 active

Chapters in six regions, with a total membership of 81,970.

The PSC Chapter is number 203, and is the Nebraska Delta Chapter (Delta representing fourth). Other Nebraska colleges that have Chapters are Bellevue College, Dana College at Blair and Hastings College. All are members of region four, which includes Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota. For a student to be eligible for membership consideration, he or she must be a junior or senior, have completed two previous semesters at PSC, not including summer sessions, must have attained at least 24 semester hours and must be in the top 10 per cent of the class scholastically.

Other qualities considered are outstanding character and a good reputation. Possible members will be recommended by an executive committee of faculty

and will receive an official invitation to join.

Once a student has been ·inducted into Alpha Chi, he or she becomes a lifetime member. However, the Chapter may be dissolved if it is not active in the · National Conferences for two consecutive years, according to Barrett.

Ba;rett, Vice President for Academic Affairs, will serve as the Alpha Chi sponsor for the first three years. Lyle McKercher, PSC Math instructor, will be a faculty sponsor. After the three-year term expires, new sponsors will be selected.

Barrett commented, "The final acceptance of PSC to the NationaJ:..Honor Society underscores the academic purposes of the institution. It is a way of letting the general public know that there are students of outstanding academic ability on campus."

Peru ·Alumni .to Perform Today

Two alumni from Peru State, Ro.b McKercher, class of 1979 and John Billings, '1978, are in the cast of "Gold Dust," the Nebraska Theatre Caravan, a professional company of the Omaha Community Playhouse, that is making stops in 28 Nebraska communities.

"Gold Dust" will be presented in the Old Gym on the PSC campus tonight at 7:30 p.m., through a partial grant from the Nebraska Arts Council.

According to Betsy Billiard, coordinator of student programs, the play is brought here by stu.dent fonding, with students admitted free. Adults will be charged $1 and children under 12, 50 cents.

"Gold Dust" is a musical romp about the wild west of a Colorado mining town based on Moliere's comedy, "The Miser." It features banjos, fiddles, guitar picking and lots of hootin' and hollerin'. Co-authored by

Jim Wann, Wann is musical director of the new musical. McKercher, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lyle C. McKercher, Peru, acted in more than 20 different productions while he attended PSC. Among them were "Pippin" "Dracula " and "A Midsummer Night's Dream." McKercher taught school before joining the theatre group. "I returned to what I love best, performing," said McKercher, who is a theatre technician and plays flute and banjo.

Billings taught speech and drama in elementary and secondary schools in Omaha, his hometown. He is an experienced stage manager and technician as well as actor.

Besides "Gold Dust" the troupe will perform "A Hans Christian Andersen Storybook" and "Romeo and Juliet," on the fall tour. They will conduct 176 workshops in 53 schools while on the tour.

D.W.I. STRIKES BACK

I would like to address this letter to a Mr. Edward Spangler. (or is it Edward?) At least I know it is E. Spangler. Yes, you are correct with your statement that I did not publish your last letter that you wrote me a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, that is about all you did right! There are several reasons why I did not publish it and I will now inform you as to why I chose not to.

The first reason is that your letter was PRINTED and not typed. and double-spaced· as is the policy for all letters written to the Pedagogian. ff you will look at the information under the list of the paper's staff you will see what I am talking about. Would it have been too much effort to have typed, doublespaced and signed it with your real name?

Another reason is that I know• of DC) E. Spangler at Peru State College. I a student register and thete was no such name to be found. ff you are a real student or person from Peru you had better let some Of us know because we just may want to talk to you. I, for one, would like to meet you and find out what other suggestions on how to improve the Ped you might have because I try to put out as fine of quality paper as possible. Have you considered getting on the Ped staff? ff you did you would have more control about just what the paper is all about. So much for the "if's" and now I would like to point out a few items to you, Mr. Spangler.

r felt that your letter was derogatory of my newspaper and although there may be a basis for. some of your suggestions, they don't "hold much water" as far as I am concerned.

In response to your second letter, which I will print as you have asked, I will let others see what a quality letter I received» I will attempt to cover the three points you stressed in this letter and inform you how they appear to me.

Y1>u have stated that my staff (especially myself) are sentenced to extinction. Well, that seems like a threat to me and maybe you would rather say that we won't be liked "very well" if this last letter never got printed. This way of saying it is much nicer and -less libelous.

"Letter?" to the Editor

Point number 1. We have given the Theater Department plenty of coverage this semester. I had a story about "Charlie's Aunt" in the first issue and the people who were in it. Issue number two had an ad that covered at least a fourth of a page. My third issue included a picture and told readers not to miss the upcoming performance. Issue number five included an editorial by "me" almost entirely written about the cancellation of "Death of a Salesman." I plan to cover "The Birthday Party" just as extensively, so where are you coming from? This department has not given me any complaints and I expect to receive none.

My coverage about the Industrial ;'\rts Department may have been sparse because I didn't know wl}ich events were upcoming and what needed "mk" in the Ped. These instructors· are free to get information to me and I will be glad to get their information printed.

The Business Department has been covered in a story about Donald Jacobs as the new · Chairman, I plan to write about any events they sponsor on campus that I deem appropriate. They are free to look me up too!

I know they have a raffle going on right now, they sponsor a large business contest, and that Phi1Jeta Lambda goes on a trip once a year, sol don't.think I am totally ignoring them.

I, for one, am intrigued by the possibility of experimental UFO landings. Could you please get me pictures? I am sure that we can get some coverage on that story.

Concerning the part about running a Satire column-I am for it as long as I have worthy material to put in the Ped to entertain the readers. I have the final say of this paper and it is my responsibility to keep up its credibility and make sure that what is in the paper is in the best interest of PSC students.

I would like to see students turn in movie and book reviews and any other material of printing quality. I don't believe that a classified ad section would go over very well since we are a weekly paper and only four pages long.

Downslip Time Again

by Cheryl White

What are downslips and why are they sent out? More importantly, what do you do if you receive one? Dr. Clyde J. Barrett, vice president for academic affairs, has the answers to these questions.

Downslips are sent out to let a student know he's not doing satisfactorily in a,course. They are mailed out at mid-term so the student is aware that he is low in sufficient time to do something about his progress before finals are given. There are several steps you go through if you receive a downslip. First, you go to your instructor to discuss your grades and what you can do to improve /them. Then. you go to your

Holder Finds Injuries Common

by Norm Parish

"I will definately be back and ready for Kansas Wesleyan," - stated Alvin Holder. And he was! In fact, Holder scored six touchdowns and rushed Jor 217 yards on 27 carries to aid the · Bobcats to a 69-25 win over Kansas Wesleyan last Saturday.

Holder, the leading rusher among _the nations small colleges to date, stood along the sidelines with a turf-toe ailment during Peru's 56-25 win over Taber two weeks ago and watched on as running mate Marv McGill rushed for 87 yards.

Alvin injured his toe a week before during the Peru-Yankton contest in which he rushed for 131 yards. However, turf-toe (a sprained toe) is not Holder's first injury. He stated, "I missedmucli of my senior season at Robinson High School in Tampa, Florida in 1975 with a broken arm."

Holder has also been frustrated this season with a knee injury he suffered during the first game this· season and he injured his ribs during the Nebraska Wesleyan-Peru game.

"They played pretty dirty at the NWU game. Wesleyan's players were pulling my legs and twisting my ankles after I

had been tackled," he said. "Although they weren't a clean playing ball teal!l in Lincoln," Holder said, "most teams play prettY good football."

The 5-foot-9, 180-pound junior running back, who· is a .senior academically, didn't always weigh 180-pounds. He had to work his way up from 120-pound to 15{1-pounds during his ninth grade summer in order to start as a fullback, accorCling to Holder.

- This season, Alvin has rushed for 1,467 yards to break the school's rushing record which he. set two years ago. He will also set a new per game rushing average (he could be held to no yardage in the final game and still beat his 1978 average of 146.7 yards per game.)

His rushing talents have led him toward a possible shot at an NFL tryout. "A scout from the San Francisco 49ers and another NFL scout gave me a comprehensive examination to evaluate my learning ability," he stated.

Holder concluded, "H I don't play professjonal football I plan to go back to Robinson High · School in Florida and teach physical education and health." He added, "Footballis as equally important as education for me."

IM Skis Availabte

by Linda Kluge

If you happen to be thinking about renting out equipment f'.om the old gym, now is a good time to do it while there 'is still some available.

In fact, 13 pairs of ctoss-country skis are available now on a first-come, first-served basis, to Tom Fitzgerald, mtramurals and recreation director. When these run out Fitzgerald says he plans to purchase six more pairs. Fitzgerald, Doc, as most people know him by, pointed out there have been some minor problems in the past concerning rental of ski equipment. To

alleviate these problems, he said skis checked out by rental will have a damage deposit required before they will be rented out. "If skis are broken or damaged," Fitzgerald said, "that person will be responsible for replacing them."

A set of poles is $6.00; poles with binding and waxless, are $9.00 each. This is a gOod price, he said, when compared to store prices. As long as students take care of the equipment properly they won't have to concern themselves with these prices.

Fitzgerald also said there will be a cross-country ski clinic in February and more information will be available later on.

counselor and discuss the cause of your low grade. After both the instructor and counselor initial the downslip, you then proceed to Dr. Apilado, dean of student advisement and discuss any further problems. After obtaining Dr. Apilado's signature you have completed the downslip process.

Downslips were issued the week of October 25. Instructors submit names of students to receive them and the Business Office sends the slips out. There is a certain amount of time after receiving the downslip to go through the downslip process. After going through this advisement process, it is hopeful that the student has straightened out his grade problem.

Haith Speaks on Women's Roles

by Mary Gail Beccard

Mrs. Susan Haith was a guest speaker last month for the "Women in Society Class" at PSC. Mrs; Haith is from Nebraska City, married and has a son, age 27. She was invited to speak on the differences in cultural roles for women, comparing French and American according to Ms. Emerson.

Mrs. Haith enlightened the class on such topics as women's roles in the home, on the job and with a family. The class was introduced to the fact that in France equality is a way of daily life. The woman is also important and highly respected for her job status and education, not only for helping to support the family, but as being an individual.

The roles of wife and mother are different for French women.

These two parts of a woman's life supplement her standing but are considered second to being a unique person. A clean house does not reflect a woman's talent as a iiife, and French children are more apt to see themselves as individuals.

Mrs. Haith said, American women may have the big liberties but French women have the small ones Americans want.

Susan has lived in this country for 29 years and makes frequent visits home. She has found that her role as a woman has changed some with her move to the U.S., but she has not lost anything in this writers' opinion. Her talk was most inspiring and she left the class with the · best definition for equality I have· ever heard, "Do as you please and be y9urself."

Bobcats 69-25 Winner Over KWU

The Peru State Bobcats met the challenge of the vaunted Kansas Wesleyan ground attack and dealt the 20th-ranked Coyotes a stunning 69-25 setback in Salina last Saturday.

The Bobcats, now· 8-1, end regular-season play tomorrow against a team noted for upsets, the Doane Tigers, at 2 p.m. in Petu's Oak Bowl. A victory over the Tigers is vital to Pew's playoff hopes.

The Kansas Wesleyan contest got off to a disastrous start for the Bobcats. Alvin Holder fumbled the first· play from scrimmage, and KWU recovered on the Peru 19. On their first play, Mike Lindsey skirted around left end for the touchdown, and the Coyotes were on top 7-0 just 11 seconds into the game.

The Bobcats came back with a vengeance behind the play of Holder, wide receiver Roosevelt Brown and quarterback Mike Haney. Peru State scored the next five touchdowns and raced to a 49-13 half time advantage.

Holder scored the first of his six touchdowns on a 10-yard run on Peru's possession, and Jeff Frields tied the game with his PAT. The Bobcat defense shut down Kansas Wesleyan on the next series, and Rosie Brown fielded the KWU punt on his own 39 and raced 61 yards for the score. Frields' kick missed and Peru led, 13-7.

Holder followed with a 35-yard burst, and Mark Sievers' pass to

First Run in Peru for Six Years

Anthony Riley for the two-point conversion made it 21-7 in favor of Peru. Marv McGill and Holder both tallied on one-yard runs, and Frields' kicks made the score 35-7.

Duke Williams, the Coyotes' 6-4, 233-pound fullback, capped a long drive with a two-yard run, and KWU cut the margin to 35-13 when the two-point conversion pass failed.

Rosie Brown fielded the ensuing kickoff and immediately swung the momentum back to Peru with an 83-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. Alvin Holder countered once more on a 17-yard run, and two more PAT kicks by Frields made the halftime score an insurmountable 49-13.

Holder scored twice more in the second half on· six and 17-yard blasts. Marv McGill added his second one-yard touchdown, and back-up kicker Mark Iossi added two .of three point after attempts for the remainder of Peru's scoring.

KWU quarterback Bill Evans thrilled the crowd with. a 73-yard, run for a score in the third quarter, and James Bryant accounted for the final Coyote score on a 12-yard run in the last quarter. Both two-point attempts failed. The Coyotes record dropped to 6-3.

The Bobcats rolled up 521 yards total offense on the afternoon, well balanced between 227 rushing yards and 294

passing yards. Kansas Wesleyan's second-ranked ground attack netted 419 yards on the afternoon, 281 of which came in the second half, and the Bobcats limited them to 50 yards passing.

Alvin Holder, the leading rusher in the NAIA, registered his third 200-yard game of the season with 217 on 27 carries. Holder's rushing average improved to 183.4 yards per game, with 1,467 yards this season.

Brown, among the nation's leaders in scoring, receiving and punt returns, bolstered his standings in all three categories. His two touchdowns give him 17 for the season (102 points). His lone punt return improved his average to 26.1 yards per runback, and he caught five passes for 90 yards to give him 57 catches for 838 yards on the year.

Haney completed 16 of 24 passes with one interception for 226 yards. The rifle-armed sophomore is hitting on 58 per cent of his tosses for 1,450 yards this season.

The Peru-Doane game will mean a lot to both teams. The young Tigers are 4-5 but include wins over powerhouses Hastings and Midland and narrow losses to William Jewell and Bethany.

In addition, the Tigers spoiled Peru's regular-season finale last year, 27-20, at Crete to deadlock the series between the two schools at 28-28-2.

Peru Loses Dual to Conclude Season

The Peru State cross country team hosted the first dual meet in six years two weeks ago and the visiting Dana Vikings came away with a win. The Bdbcats ended the 1980 season with the loss.

The Vikil)gs claimed the top four spots plus a sixth place finish to register 16 points, compared to 39 for Peru State.

Dana's Mickey Tanner covered the five-mile course in 31 minutes five seconds to take first place.

The top finisher for the young Bobcats was Don Anderson, who toured the course in 33 minutes 58 seconds. Mike Northrup ran the distance in 37 minutes 27 seconds for the second-best Peru time.

Other Peru times were Scott Schwarting, 38.43; Norm Parrish, 38.49; and Mike Victor, 41.44 for Coach Dennis Obermeyer's squad.

Even though there was no girl's competition, Peru's Verissa Ruenholl, junior from Syracuse, ran the three-mile course in 24 minutes, 26 seconds.

Curriculum Evaluated

Several Omaha executives contributed to an assessment of the PSC business Division Curricula as part of Peru's Business Advisory Board, which met recently, said Dr. Don Jacobs, Business Division Chairman.

Among the Board members, said Jacobs, were Scott Bannister, Board Co-Chairman and Manager of personnel of the Union Pacific Railroad; Welcome T. Bryant, Manager of Urban Affairs for Northern Natural Gas, Omaha; and Joe Studer of the U.S. Small Business Administration.

The purpose of the Board, said Jacobs, is to update the college's curriculum as demands in the business world shift.

Burrows Speaks Here

George·Burrows, Nebraska State Senator from the thirtieth district, spoke on campus to the American Government class of Dr. John Hahn, Associate Professor of Political Science, on Tuesday, November 11. He spoke of his recent seven-day visit to Taiwan, United States agricultural policies and energy independance. ·

Burrows, an Adams, Nebraska native, and nine other Nebraska legislators received invitations\ from the government of Taiwan for an all expenses paid visit to the Asian island. He cited a number of differences between the governments and economies of Taiwan and the United States, most notably in industry-Taiwanese industry is in many respects more efficient than ours and, of course, in .the forms of government.

Burrows, a beef cattle raiser, also spoke of · the agricultural policies of the U.S. government. One topic that the class was especially interested in was the legal aspects the purchase, by non-resident aliens, of United States farmland.

The Wassail is the old Anglo-Saxon drinking toast of "Waes-Hael" which means, "be in good health." The custom, Camealy said, of wassailing the fruit trees was common throughout medieval England. Men often went out into orchards with large jugs of cider and drank toasts to the p-ees, often beating upon them, bidding them to bear fruit in the coming season. Assisting the ch9ir in its presentation will be Anthony Nebelsick of Nebraska City, President of the Peru State Choir; Vice President Maelynne Bassinger of Unadilla;_and Secretary-Treasurer Denise Abelson of Sioux City, Iowa. Special prices for admission this year include' a charge of only $3.50 for children under twelve. Adults pay $7 for admission to the feaste. Camealy said that this year tickets

BOtll federal and state p0licies conc1:rning this were discussed. Burrows said that he has proposed a bill in the Unicameral which would severely limit further purchase of land in Nebraska by foreign interests. Energy independance was one of the Senator's favorite subjects, he said, and he wondered why, "if the United States could put a man on the moon," there haven't been any major breakthroughs in alternative energy technology.

Burrows also suggested ways of motivating students and the public to political involvement.

Concluding his discussion, the Senator answered questions from the students who made up his audience.

During a luncheon which followedjn the Student Center's West Dining Room, Burrows and Peru State College administrators discussed various subjects, including the status of higher educa·tion in Nebraska. Burrows voiced his concern that an institution of higher learning should be concerned primarily with the interests of its students.

A week after the teaste, on Sunday, December 14 at ·3:00 p.m., the Community Choir will present "Amahl and the Night Visitors" by Menotti in the College Auditorium. Audience participation in songs sung by the PSC Choir will be featured.

1 "Amahl and the Night Visitors" was featured on television for about ten years as one of the several Christmas Specials shown during the holiday season. The story concerns a small, crippled boy who lives with his mother in a hovel at the side of the road to Bethlehem. The Three Kings rest there on their way to see the Christ Child.

.Rehearsals for the presentation began Mo!lday, November

Board member Bryant, of Northern Natural Gas, emphasized the importance of a knowledge of computers for persons wishing to advance in ·their chosen business fields. "It is very critical,'' he said, "to a promotion to be able to ask the right questions of a computer." He said that "one must be able to facilitate knowledge in order to climb the ladder to success."

In further discussion on the importance of the knowledge of computer use, Union Pacific's Bannister said that an introduction,. at least, to computer programming is very beneficial to students. "There is a definite need," he said, "for some computer knowledge in business."

Other concerns of business that were discussed, after dinner in the West Dining Room of the Student Center, included the importance of the Introduction to Business class and also· the addition of a "capstone" class which would conclude the degree requirements for business majors. Some of the necessary skills which were emphasized by the business leaders, which could be included in such a class, included public speaking and report writing

The Board agreed, also, that in order to assess the effectiveness of any business program, the jobs into which Peru graduates have been placed must also be considered.

Area members of the advisory board who attended the dinner, aside from the Division of business faculty, were Donald Schulze of Nebraska City, Charles Pickering of Syracuse and Irving Stubbendick, also of Syracuse.

OFF THE RECORD

by Jim Anderson

Let begin by saying that the subJect of my editorial is not Edward Spangler. That out Qf the way... ·

There are over eleven million college students in the United States. More than the populations of a lot of countries in this world. I don't know how many are in Nebraska but I would hazard a guess that it's a group that could wield considerable power in the it were organized and held the people it helps put in office accountable.

That's the problem. College students in Nebraska are not very powerful because, in the words of Doug Tuthill "It's a lot easier to watch soap'operas.'.'

It's not difficult to imagine the amount of money. that could be rolling into higher education as a result of organization, whether as student loans, grants, scholarships, workstudy funds or faculty and administration salaries. A well organized student population can be more beneficial than one which is not in making education more accessable, progressive and responsive to students.

Student involvement and progress go hand in hand. We need to be aware and we need to be concerned. ·

How many students are now concerned that President Elect Reagan has promised to destroy the Department of Education, whose budget, $40 million, is less even than the proposed increase in the budget of the ·Defense Which is more important, building bonibs to continue man's barbarism or educating mankind? Education is the solution to our problems, not increased military spending.

It's just an example. ··

A week has passed since the last issue of the Pedagogi'an came out and for the Editor it was an "interesting week" to say the least. Mr. Spangler's letter not only got my attention but many of my.readers also had a few questions about him. Several persons have asked me if I know the real name of the mystery writer and for them I must say that he has not come forward with his identity as. of November 17. If he does, my readers will be the next persons to find out. By the way Mr. Spangler-Letter number .three "landed" in the circular file.

I received several comments about my paper, some pOsitive and others negative. The first have outnumbered the latter by a margin. By this figure I will assume that most· of my regular readers believe the Ped is doing an adequate job.

.Last issue I made a mistake in the cutline concerning "The Birthday Party." The man sitting in the chair along with Chuck Mittan is Richard R. WOOds (better known as "Chip" Woods) and not Mark Goll as I stated. I am sorry about the error, but I guess we are all allowed one mistake a semester and that will be mine. The play opened yesterday and runs through Sunday. so everyone should make an effort to see it.

Most of you have no idea how many persons are glad to point out when an error has been made btit then there are also those who are thoughtful enough to compliment .the Ped. These compliments are ·good for the moral of the writers, so feel·free

Recently he was employed as the Catering and Cash Operations Manager at Nortllwest Missouri State University at Maryville, MO.

Larson, a 29-year-old Minnesota native, sees no immediate changes in service. However, he says he is looking for new ideas a.nd feels that Utere is always room for improvement and additions. His first task will be to check the file system to see if he can update or reorganize the system.

Larson c-0mmented on his · wonderful crew of cooks and student workers at PSC and feels that the operation has been running extremely well. He

encourages everyone to stop by and say "hi."

"I enjoy schools of this size," said Larson. "I came lo PSC for a number of reasons; tile main ones being tile people, and the fact tlla t my wife will be able to continue her studies as a Special Education major," he said.

GOLD DUST

by Cheryl White

The musical comedy, "Gold Dust," presented by The Nebraska Theatre Caravan, was a success .last Friday. A fair crowd of approximately 200 attended the play.

The play was held in the old gymnasium at Peru State College. The location accounted for unfavorable acoustics but didn't hurt tile quality of ·the performance. The audience reaction was slow in the beginning but once the<'play progressed ·the audience became enthusiastic.

A cast of 12 people put on tile play. John Billings, PSC graduate, was the production manager. The choreography as well as tile music !lnd singing was done professionally by tile whole "Gold Dust" cast. Each member showed multiple talents. Rob McKercher, also a PSC graduate, did a wonderful job of dancing and singing as well as playing tile flute and banjo. ' "Gold Dust" is a musical comedy set sometime around 1868. It concerns a middle aged, gold hungry man who is looking for a wife. In tile meantime his· daughter and son find spouses for themselves. In tile latter part of the play the old man finally finds a wife for himself with a jug of gold dust to go With her. They all live happily ever after.

The. Nebraska Theatre Caravan will start working on "The Christmas Carol" after their last productioP, of "Gold Dust" on November 16. Have

Peer Counselors Middle Men

by Norm Parish

Peru State College has received a federal grant, which makes provisions for improving the quality of academic advising by training peer advisors to work with ·faculty advisors, according to Janet Lathrop, Title three Coordinator-Coun, selor. ·

Approximately fifteen students will be selected as peer counselors to work with freshman and transfer students beginning next fall.

According to Lathrop, the peer counselors will act as middlemen between the students and advisors by providing the students with personalized academic counseling and by building on tile promise that each can help the otller; help meaning an encouraging word, an empathetic ear, problem solving partner, and "just a little care."

Selected peer advisors will be required to go through a training program that will develop and include basic information (rules, regulations, registration proced-

ures), communication-eounseling skills (interviewing, nonverbal communication, counseling skills, anecdotal records, interpreting student data), campus referral resources, development and use of Student Advising Handbook (academic calendar, policies, advising exercises and aides), career development and employment trends. Students interested in being peer counselors must have a 5.25 grade average and should be outgoing, said Ms Lathrop. Applications are available in tile library, tllird floor Administration Building and can be provided by dorm directors and division chairmen.

· All applications must be in on or before Dec. 1. Interviews will be conducted after tllat date by Dr. Myron Apilado, Dean for Student Development, Nancy Emerson, Instructor of Social Work, Paul Egan, Instructor of Psychology, a member of tile Student Senate and Ms Lathrop.

"All peer counselors should be chosen by the end of the semester," Ms Lathrop added.

Garman Needs. Input

by Kae Erisman

Dwight Garman, Director of Placement at PSC sal.d the Placement Center would like to see more student input about information which students would want. He said he would like to be informed of what services aren't available at tile present that students feel would aid them in career decisions.

Garman, a newcomer this semester to Peru State, said "Students aren't using the placement services as much as I'd like."

One of tile reasons may be that students aren't aware of all the services available to tllem. For instance, it is possible for underclassmen as well as seniors and alumni, to seek and-or receive summer or parttime employment through tile Placement Center, he said. The Placement Center offers a wide range of services· to all students and alumni in career preparation and job placement.

All one has to do is contact tile Placement Center on campus, complete a personal credentials package including a resume, references and college files; and state a preference of whether tile file be open or closed. The participant may list the types of vocations he or she would prefer to follow then the Center will

contact, and-or schedule interviews witll those having positions available.

Garman, a former career and placement director in Lincoln, cited statistics from tile past three years to show tllat PSC has an 80 to 85 per cent success rate in placing students and alumni at jobs relating to tlleir fields of study.

Besides career planning and placements, the Center is administering tests such as ACT; College Level Exam Program (CLEP), which is tile process of testing out of a particular course and receiving full credit for it; and occupational interest tests. · It is hoped that in the near-future, more students will take advantage of the Placement and Career Planning services available. A resource library located in tile Center in tile Administration Building has many materials available, Garman said.

Garman is planning to make more information available about tile services, and he plans to attend dormitory meetings to discuss careers with students. He stressed tile importance of working witll freshmen, sophomores and juniors who are undecided about careers so tllat they may begin specialized studies.

Absences Plague Senate

The Student Senate met at 7:07 p.m., November 12 in the West Dining room of the Student Center, following an emergency Executive Committee meeting.

The Executive Committee, which met after acting President Verdell Bohling determined that there was no quorum present (thirteen of the nineteen senators were required for a meeting to be held), lowered the quorum requirement from tllree quarters to one over half of the voting Senate membership so tllat a Senate meeting could be held.

The November 12 meeting would have been tile fiftll Student Senate meeting which, because of lack of quorum, would not have been held without the change.

The quorum change was proposed, according to the Senate's constitution, at the previous meeting, which, because of lack of a quorum, was also an Executive Committee meeting. The Committee, in emergencies, has tile power to act as tile Student Senate itself.

The change was agreed upon unanimously, following a motion

by

Recording Secretary

Jim Anderson for its passage.

Items discussed at the meeting of tile Senate which .followed included a motion by Anderson which would have resulted in a change of tile name of the Student Center, agreed upon by Peru's Faculty Association, to perhaps "Campus Center" or "Campus Union."

In proposing his. motion, Anderson underlined tile feeling of tile 1979-1980 Student Senate tllat tile building isn't really a "student" center. His motion failed by -a vote of four for and five against.

Janet Lathrop, Title III Coordinator at PSC, spoke to the Senate, explaining the Peer Counseling program and requesting that tile Senate appoint a student to serve on the committee which will select the counselors from among Peru State student applicants. Ms. Lathrop's request was tabled for one week upon the suggestion of Senator Darrell Wellman, so that it would be considered.

The meeting was adjourned at 7:40 p.m.

Holder Nears Title

F-0r the seventh consecutive week, Peru State running back Alvin Holder leads the National APsociation of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) in rushing. The 5-9, 190-pound juni<>r from Tampa, Fla., seems all but assured of a national rushing title.

As the football season winds down and another year is locked up in the record books. Peru State College followers will remember the 1980-81 Bobcat team as one of the most exciting and successful with a 8-1 record.' But, as it is with all teams, the limelight has been focused on the players and the coaches and the 9th place standing ·in the NAIA ratings. Recently the spotlight at was shifted to another group 'of Bobcat football associates when the coach's wives were given a chance to talk about the influences of footbaU on their lives.

J Those interviewed include Christine Joy, wife of head football coach and Director of · Athletics, Jerry Joy, of Stella; Harmony Pitts, wife of Dr. Ervin Pitts, assistant coach and Division Chairman of Physical Education, of Peru; Sonja Gilliland, wife of assistant coach and physical educati-0n instructor, Terry Gilliland, of Peru;

Opinions

Bobcat's sole loss to Chadron was that1it was tragic. "I didn't know what to say, but I'm sure that my just being there helped," she concluded.

Do PSC coaches wives prefer pre-season, the season, or post-season?

All but Mrs. Pitts, a first grade teacher at Peru Elementary School, agreed that the best time was during the season because of the excitement. Although Harmony, an Ozarks native, says it's been a great life and being a coach's wife has been fun, they get to spend so much more time together when the season ends. After games, she says, they often have friends in or go to a friends' home to talk about the game. "It helps to unwind after the tensions and excitement of the afternoon or evening games," said Mrs. Pitts, who has lived in Peru for 17 years. The Pitts' sons Terry, 35, a veterinarian of Lincoln, and Tom, 31, a dentist of Brookfield, Mo., have enjoyed having a father who is a coach.

Three ofthe five wives said that they offer lots of advice about football to their husbands. Sonja Gilliland, service director and registered nurse at the Nemaha County Hospital, says she gets upset and yells a lot when they lose, but Terry doesn't always listen. "I was on my way home from Western Nebraska when I heard about the Chadron defeat. I was disappointed, but losing one game l1y one point isn't bad at all," said Sonja, who is from Scottsbluff. The entire family, · including their children, Tanya, 17; Todd, 15; Traci, 13; and Troy, 10 follow the team. "I get really nervous when Terry gets excited during a game. I'm ·afraid he'll· get a penalty called

on him," she concluded. Each of the wives, except Anne Goleman, said that their children, and grandchildren as in the case of Mrs. Pitts, are PSC followers and they enjoy having a father, or grandfather, who is a coach. However, Carole Obermeyer, volleyball coach and home economics teacher at Johnson-Brock High School, says her oldest son, five-year-0ld Brice, has a hard time chosing between the Eagles of JohnsonBrock and the Bobcats, but when it comes time to go to mom's volleyball games, he gets out his PSC t-shirt. The 28-year-old mother of Brice and two-yearold Wade, tries to attend PSC games as much as she can, but feels that it is difficult with two little boys and a coaching job of her own. However, exchanging ideas and talking to each other about games at home helps a lot, she says.

All of the wives said they felt a loss when Peru suffered its heartbreaking defeat by Chadron. Anne Goleman, who is planning to attend PSC second semester, said that getting out of town helped tremendously. The 20-year-old Oklahoma native attends most of the games because she feels that her husband enjoys having her support. Anne often gives advice on football, especially after games, and says that Troy listens and agrees with many of her suggestions.

Three other graduate assistant coaches are bachelors. They are Steve Buss of Adams, Vernon Gantt of Tampa, Fla., and Bob Petersen of Bennington. After giving the coach's wives a chance to voice their feelings, it's obvious that their dedication to football is as demanding as it is rewarding. ·

DWI: Parking lot Is Closed

This editorial is my attempt to clear up whether or not students are to park in the abandoned lot just north of the Centennial Complex. According to Linda Myers, the answer to this question is definitely "No." She is a secretary at the college physical plant and informed me on the issue and what became of a simple arrangement.

She stated that this lot is rented by the college from St. Clara Catholic Church on a monthly basis for events such as Homecoming and home football games. This service was provided as a convenience for people to make up for the

parking shortage around campus. There are only a few times when this extra parking is necessary but it is useful.

After the final football game students continued to use the lot instead of the regular parking lot. At first, security issued. warning tickets asking students not to park there but never really fined anyone. The rent is up and so are student privileges to park there.

While students were gone for Thanksgiving Vacation, maintenance put in steel posts and ran a wire so the entrance was blocked. It was done at this time

since there were few, if any cars on campus. Earlier this semester, the sidewalks became muddy and students complained about this when parking· in the lot and caused the problems. Mrs. Myers said that she is sorry for any inconvenience this has caused and is sure that students will accept this rule, In closing she wants to 1fdd that using this lot, even if an agreement could be worked out, would be practically impossible after snow reaches the campus. It would be impossible to clean the lot and to do all of the work necessary for fully using the lot.

Security Guard: A Unique Person

What do most 62-year-old grandmothers do :;it night? Knit one, purl two? Read books? Watch television? Maybe some, but not Elizabeth Morris of Peru. Elizabeth spends her nights working as a security officer at the college and she patrols the campus throughout the evenings and early mornings.

The Peru native has spent most of her life in the area and has lived in town for the past six years. She started working for PSC in August of 1979, and her job includes making sure all of the buildings on campus are loi!ked up at night. She fills the state cars with gas, issues parking tickets and patrols the Centennial Complex as well as the campus grounds.

Elizabeth attended high school in Peru, which was at the building ·now known as the Education Building. "Now when I lock up the building,it always seems to bring back so many memories," she said.

After being employed at the Cooper Nuclear Plant in Brownville as a security guard, for five years, Elizabeth worked at the Auburn Police station as a

dispatcher for 10 months. She said she decided to work for the college because she felt it was a better job and because it is closer to home.

Elizabeth doesn't feel that• there are any major security problems, but commented that the worst time of the year is just before school gets out for summer vacation. She finds that the biggest problem area is the Complex parking lot. There is a problem of students parking their vehicles in the service areas which blocks the drive when emergency vehicles need to have access to the area, she said.

Students treat her in a friendly and cooperative way. She doesn't feel that it is necessary to carry a gun, she said. Her equipment consists of a flashlight and keys. As f_or the vandalism complaints at the Complex, she sees the need to have another full-time security officer fof the night shift and said that there would be no additional lights added to the parking lot because of the energy crisis.

About retirement plans, she said that if she wasn't working,

she would just sit around her home at 1004-Sth St. with nothing to do. She feels that the exercise from walking around the campus really helps her physically. In her spare time, Elizabeth likes to read and watch television; her favorite soap opera is "All My Children," and not the infamous "Dallas," she said. She enjoys classical music and listens to KFAB's "Serenade in the Night" while she is patrolling.

While working at the. Nuclear Plant, she wasn't involved in any real emergencies. "Once in a while there would be a rabbit or skunk get in the microwaves on the fence and we would have to go see what it was, but that was about it," she added. Her only son, Patrick, is employed at the Plant as a Health and Physics Technician. He checks for radiation leaks on the various monitors. Pat and his· wife, Marsha, have three children, Adam, 10, Andrea, 9 and Ben 5.

Elizabeth Morris may have some things in common with most other 62-year-old grandmothers, but her work here is quite unique.

Drawing December 10, 1980

Of 37 women interviewed in the Student Center, in the Education building, in the Fine Arts building and on the walks between, only five women said they preferred the title Ms. which was instituted some years ago by a women's liberation group called National Organization for Women (NOW).

The PSC survey nearly

coincides with a recent one conducted by the nationally recognized Roper organization. In that survey, 81 per cent of the married women preferred the title Mrs. and only 12 per cent preferred Ms. The poll indicated that a majority of single women also preferred to have their marital status identified with the. title Miss. Only 32 per cent preferred Ms.

In the PSC survey 11 women were married and all preferred the title Mrs. while 26 were unmarried with 21 preferring the title Miss.

Ages in the survey ranged from under 20 to over 30 with the marjority of the women (20) in the 20-to-30 years-of-age range.

There appears to be a very strong demand for women in a variety of positions within the two above occupational areas. The average entry level starting salaries are in tl!e $14,000 range. · This figure could prove to be very competitive with most other professions requiring a bachelors degree.

Employer requests indicate, not only a need to meet affirmative action requirements, but also that qualified women are bona fide employees. According to several sources it appears that the ·dellland for these occupations look very good for the 1980's according to Dwight Garman, director of placement at Peru State.

For someone interested in designing, planning, managing or simply working with their hands, they should talk to Dr. Lester Russell· and his staff as part of their career planning.

Cagers Beat Midland

A scrappy young Peru State basketball team showed great improvement as they posted their first victory of the 1980-81 season, an 84-74 win over Midland College in the first NAIA District 11 Cage Classic at Kearney.

The victory was sandwiched between a pair of close losses to two of the stronger teams in the state, a 71-64 decision to Doane and a 66-60 verdict to Dana. The Cage Classic left the at 1-4 going into tbe regular-season opener at Nebraska Wesleyan this past Tuesday.

DOANE 71, PERU STATE 64

The tough Doane Tigers built up an overwhelming 49-30 halftime advantage only to see Coach Bill Squires' young cagers roar back to within three points late in the contest. The tremendous comeback fell short in the final moments as Doane hung on for the 71-64 win.

Freshman guard Gary-Bender turned in a fine performance,

hitting seven of 10 field goals for 14 points. Sophomore forward Tom Johnson tallied 14 points and grabbed eight rebounds.

Junior guard a1'd captain Jeff Smith added 14 points himself. Doane held a 39-32 rebounding edge on the night.

PERU STATE 84, MIDLAND 74

Sophomore center Kip Allison turned in his finest performance as a collegian,. with ample help from Tom Johnson, as the Bobcats upset an expectedly solid Midland crew 84-74.

Allison, a 6-9 center, drilled six of nine shots and was a perfect 10 for 10 from the free throw line for 22 points, supplemented by 10 rebounds. Johnson was nine for 20 and four for six for 22 points and 10 rebounds also. The charity line was very good to PSC, with the Bobcats hitting on 34 of 44 compared to 12 of 27 for the Warriors. Bob Mulvaney took game scoring honors for Midland with 23, but Peru held a 52-43 edge in

The charity stripe wasn't as favorable to the Bobcats when they took on Dana, an entry into last year's District playoffs. The Vikings saw Peru outshoot them from the floor, but Dana deposited 10 more free throws than the Bobcats to cfaim the 66-60 win.

Gary Bender turned in another sparkling performance on seven of 10 shooting from the floor and two of two from ·the line for 16 points. His backcourt mate, Jeff Smith, drilled seven of 12 shots for 14 points. The 'Cats hit a fine six of seven from the free throw line, but Dana made 16 of their 20 attempts.

Brown averaged 11.4 points per game with 114 points in 10 games, while Holder tallied 102 points in nine appearances for an 11.3-point average per game.

Both Brown and Holder have solid chances for All-America honors when the NAIA Division II All-America team is announced on Dec. 19.

19% More Students, '80; '.{,;.

PSC's fall semester enrdlment for 1980 was 19 per cem higher than 1979's, Dr. Kelly Liewer, registrar at Peru State College. , ·

A year ago there were • students and this year, 9U students were enrolled in classes .at Peru State College first semester. Freshman enrollmem was up 30 per cent, Liewer s:akl, and transfer student enroDmeat was up 78 per cent over last. year. In 1979 there were 41 transfer students, this year there were 80.

Another increase in student enrollment figures, includes preregistration figures for the spring, 1981 semester. In 19'29, 470 students pre-registered. 1'bis year, 555 students have pre-registered for spring semester, an 18 per cent increase.

Final figures for fall from John Jacobsen, director of institutional research, show that non-credit Continuing Education enrollment was up 102. 7 per cent over last year. Jacobsen said that in the fall semester, 1979, there were 185 students enrolled in non-credit Continuing Education classes offered by Peru State College. In 1980, 375 students in non-credit classes, he said.

Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Clyde Barrett said the increase in students is an indication, "that we are serving the needs of people in our area. It's important to us that we are providing services for them," he said.

"It's difficult to nail down any one reason for the increase in enrollment," Barrett said, "but it has to be a combination of factors, our increased services, the new HPER Center, the new roads that have decreased travel time, program alterations, and the increased emphasis on Continuing Education. We have excellent faculty and the instructional improvement of this faculty has helped," he said.

Barrett said that success with athletics in 1979 and 1980 has provided visibility for Peru State College and that establishing an honor society, Alpha Chi, on campus has added a new dimension to PSC's visibility.

'"11le Boys From Syracuse," a play on Shakespeare's

*'The Comedy of Errors," will be presented at Peru State College Feb. 19-21 at 8 p.m., in the college auditorium. A matinee will be featured on Feb. 22 at 3 p.m. in the afternoon.

This play is the first musical ever adapted from Shakespeare. It's a hilarious story of mistaken identity which suggests advertisement of tasteful bodies and is presented for adult audiences. The farse comedy portrays dancing girls and something for everyone.

The presentation of the play is a joint project between the theatre and music departments, with Dr. Royal Eckert, professor of speech and drama, as stage director.

"The Broadway musical, starring Eddy Albert, ran in the 1930's with the same flavor as "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum," said Dr. Royal Eckert.

Cast members are:

Charles Mittan, Hastings, as Sergeant; Arlan Holthus, Johnson, as Duke and Merchant of Syracuse; Mark McFadden, Los Angeles, Calif., as Aegeon and Sorcerer; Scott Schmidt, Gretna as Antipholus of Ephesus; Richard Wood, Stella, as Dromoi of Esphesus; Jane Martin, McCook, as Tailor and Emilia; Lenny Mazour, Lawrence, as Antipholus of Syracuse; Perry Biaggi, Humboldt, as Dromio of Syracuse; Denise Ableson, Sioux City, Iowa, as Apprentice and

Nineteen Graduate in December

Nineteen students completed requirements for graduation in December, according to Dr. Kelly Liewer, registrar.

A majority of the midterm graduates were education majors, while other fields such as business administration, mathematics and accounting degrees were also completed. A former graduate, Mary Beth Kernes, Julian, received a degree in social science, her second degree from PSC.

The graduates, their hometown and fields of study include:

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN EDUCATION:, Lynn Ann (Johnson) Anderson, Auburn, elementary and special education; Bethene Ann Erbst, Nebraska City, elementary and special education; Mary L.

Library Missing

Forty-Six Books by Norman Parish

At least forty-six books have been stolen from PSC's library over the past two and a half years, according to Mrs. Faye Brandt, Head Librarian.

The books known stolen, worth an estimated $1000, represent only those missing from the library's reference section, said Reference Librarian Irple Ruby. An inventory will have to be taken to determine how many are missing from the rest of the library, she said.

In addition to the stolen books, Mrs. Brandt noted the theft and vandalism of periodicals.

The main reason behind the library staff's noticing that the books were missing was the shift from the Dewey Decimal system to the Library of Congress system last year, according to Mrs. Brandt.

"A security system would be helpful in reducing the amount of theft," said Mrs. Brandt. The system basically consists of marking library materials so that they would set off an alarm, unless checked by the librarian, when taken out of the library.

Such a system, said Mrs. Brandt, would cost an estimated $16,000 initially and $3,000-$4,000 to maintain annually.

Other articles have been stolen as pranks, Mrs. Brandt said, such as a bust of William Shakespeare which one student walked out with three years ago.

"Although we -have lost a number of materials through theft or vandalism," she said, "our loss has not been any worse than at other libraries without security systems."

For Spring Break

·Students, alumni and friends of Peru State College will be visiting Broadway, Village, the Museum of Modern Art and the Lincoln Center when they take a spring break adventure in New York City March 14 through 20.

According to tour guide, Dr. Charles Harper, assistant professor of speech and drama at Peru State College, there is a sufficient number of participants for the tour, but there are a few openings for those who wish to go but have not paid their deposit. He said the final payment is due Feb. 1.

The cost of the round-trip airfare from Omaha to Ne'Y York which includes in-flight meals is $630 (subject to change). This fee includes transportation between the airport and hotel with quad occupancy at the Hotel Edison

on 47th Street, just a half block from Times Square. Double <><;cupancy may be arrangea for an extra $77, he said.

A choice of one of four categories: Theatre, art, music or a fine arts combination, will be decided by the vacationers with personal sight-seeing possible in the "During the time we're in New York City, we'll have an opportunity to see the St. Patrick's Day Parade, Harper · said.

The trip may earn a one-hour college credit for a $4 fee for PSC students b:y contacting Mrs. Mary Ruth Wilson, director of Continuing Education.

For more information or reservations, contact the Office of Continuing Education, Peru State College, Peru, Neb. 68421, (402) 872-3815, ext. 241 or 201.

To keep these materials from disappearing, the library has begun a policy of stopping all students carrying bags at the front desk and checking to see whether they are carrying library books out with them or not, said Mrs. Brandt. Said Mrs. Brandt, "I ask all students who have taken library materials to please return them by putting them in the book drop just outside the library's front door."

HYPER Pool to Open Again

by Darrell Wellman

A tentative date, February 1, has been set for the reopening of the pool in the HPER Center, according to Dr. Harold Deselms, Vice-President for Administration at PSC.

The pool was closed last November and this re-opening date is within the deadline that the administration was expecting. During this period, students have had to use the pool in the Old Gym.

The pool has been painted and was scheduled to be filled beginning January 19. The filling should take approximately one week and be completed by January 26. After today, officials will ·measure water loss and as long as there are no significant problems with leakage, the pool will be open for swimming by February 1.

Deselms stated that the pool has had a new "skin" put on it and he hopes that this additional measure will solve the leakage problem the pool has had since last semester when it was first put into use.

This may be our country's darkest hour, we are being attacked from within, but not by terrorists, apes, or. even the Russian Rock fans.

"Who is attacking us from within?" you ask.

urn give you a hint, they've been hurting this country's morale for qtiite a while now."

"Americans for Reagan?" you answer uncertainly.

"No, that's not it,". I reply, "this group bas been making the public sick with its presence, spreading parasites, and on top of all that, they're not even human."

"Are you sure it's not Americans for Reagan?"

"Yes, 1'.m sure, in fact Americans for Reagan could probably even learn something from the pigeons."

"The pigeons?"

"Yes, the pigeons; name one other groups· that has been allowed to deface as many statues and national monuments as the pigeons have; and could any terrorist get in and out of a high security area without raising a ruckus as easily as a pigeon can?"

"But couldn't it be said that your fear of pigeons taking over this country lS merely the result of your being paranoid especially since you have no proof?"

"I suppose it could be said that my fear is an irrational one, but I have proof that the pigeons are on the rise. IP. fact, the main reason this whole idea of a pigeon takeover started was with an incident that is taking

Dear Editor, We, the undersigned wish to make. known our absolute dismay with the policies and practices of the Bobcat Bookstore. After much study and deliberation, we have come to the conclusion that the owner of the bookstore must have learned his method of salesmanship from Al Capone in the backstreets of Chicago. He acts like the students here are book addicts that need a fix, so he jacks up the price accordingly. A WARNING: One of these days, someone is going to 0 .D. on their high ·prices and go beserk and , bash the place up. We cannot believe that they can actually sell those used books to us at the prices they do, and can keep a straight face at the same time. It seems that every time we walk out of there after we buy a book, we hear hysterical laughter coming from the walls of the place. But, the ultimate-shaft is when we buy a book from them for $15.00 (the cheapest they have) and when we come back at the end of the semester with the book in perfect condition, they give us a (sob) supply and demand story and then proceed to offer to take it off our hands if we pay them to do so. We feel · that a new supply and demand system be initiated-We demand that they us books at a reasonable pnce.It's gotten so bad there that they ought to stop referring to us as "buyers" or "customers," and referring to us as their prices s\lggest we are-"SUCKERS."

However, we cannot assert that they have taken the shirts off our backs. Why should they stop there? Our pants, shoes, coats and underwear are worth something too.

A MESSAGE TO THE BOBCAT BOOKSTORE EMPLOYEES

We would like to make it known that we realize that you are only employees and have no fault in this matter. Therefore, any remarks made referring to a pers6il or persons selling us books refers to ONLY the owner, not to any of you. We hope that in the future, the owner of the Bobcat Bookstore will keep. in mind that· the students of Peru State College are not as filthy rich as he has probably gotten.

c¥,' t 6> ._,., ·' /L<.y

P.S. Most of us who have signed this letter believe that the Bobcat Bookstore is giving us the new books at about the right price. However, we are very upset with the rip-roarin shaft we are getting when we take our books in to sell them back. And, when we see the books that WE sold the bookstore, and received lint for, being sold the next semester for gold, you can imagine our discontent, disgust, and anger. Thank you.

Shakespear":' Comes to T

The third season of TB SHAKESPEARE PLAYS-'l'le six-year series which even.twtB1 will bring all 37 of William Shakespeare's dramatic works to television-gets off to .a rollicking start, Monday, JG.. uary 26, at 8 p.m. on the Nebraska Educational TelfN'lsion Network. The series premieres with Shakespeare's classic comedic tale of the endless battle· between the sexes, "The Taming of the Shrew," which is repeated Sunday, February 1, at 10 p.m.

Produced and directed by the multi-talented Dr. Jonathan Miller, host of the public television series, THE BODY IN QUESTION, the Shakespearean comedy features MONTY PYTHON's John Cleese as Petruchio, who tries to win the hand of

_ the fiery Kate, played by Sarah Badel. - This comic confrontation, one of the Bard's most frequently performed plays, marks the first time that Cleese has acted Shakespeare professionally-the first time, in fact, since, as a nine-year-old schoolboy, he played a bit in the same·. play. However, after some initial uncertainty, Cleese found this Shakespearean comedy not terribly different from the challenge of MONTYPYTHON's madness.

Starring with Cleese and Badel in the production are John Franklyn-Robbins as Katherina's sorely tried father, Baptista; Susan Penhaligon as the too-good-to-be-true sister, Bianca; as well as, many of England's most capable comic actors: Anthony Pedley, David Kincaid, John Bird and others.

Miller, who is the new executive producer for the third and fourth seasons of THE SHAKESPEARE PLAYS, will provide a brief introduction to the play, and in a special videotape sequence following the presentation, will talk with Cleese about the play.

British critics awarded almost unanimous critical acclaim when this BBC-TV and TimeLife Television co-production aired late in 1980 on British television.

Senate Quorum Problems

The Student Senate's January 14, 1981 meeting was not held. According to Senate President Tony Nebelsick, it was impos- · sible to raise a quorum, whiCh is one more than half of the total Senate membership of approximately twenty persons. Student Senate meetings are normally held at 6:30 p.m. in the Student Center's West Dining Room. The meetings are open to all students.

Dr. Deselms stated, "A key denominator for. reduction in natural gas consumption for the future will be the lowered thermostats, which were reduced to 55 degrees during the Christmas holiday creak."

Leo A. Daly Co. is the architectural firm for the project and Beall Construction Co. is the general contractor.

New Years Smoking

Resolutions

It takes real effort to make most New Year's resolutions stick. Especially resolutions about quitting smoking. But that doesn't mean keeping no-smoking resolutions has to be a grim business, according to the American Lung Association.

In mid-January, the Association is launching nationwide its new self-help program for smokers everywhere who want to kick the habit.

Called FREEDOM FROM SMOKING, the program emphasizes nutrition, exercise, personal rewards, assertivethe positive benefits of saymg no thanks" to cigarettes. It offers a nuts-and-bolts way to quit smoking in 20 days-and make it stick for a lifetime.

Nine out of ten smokers say they would quit if there were a workable way. The problem is when and how to quit.

Wanting to quit, says the Lung Association, is the key to success. But sometimes finding how to quit can be critical.

"After all the disappointments of not making the playoffs and dropping in the final Division II

poll to tenth place, this is the one bright spot," Joy said. "This is probably the nicest thing that has happened to us since I've been at Peru."

Holder and Brown are native5 of Tampa, Fla., and attended high school together. Brown, a 5-10, 175-pound senior, came to Peru in 1977 and Holder, 5-9 and 190 pounds followed one year later. The two have played an integral part in the resurgence of the Peru State football program, which has ranked in the top 20 each of the past two years.

Holder was the leading rusher in the nation this season, piling up 1,605 yards in nine games for a whopping 178.3-yard rushing average, second-highest in NAIA history. He averaged six yards

Brown topped Division II in both receiving and punt returns. He caught 66 passes for 970 yards (97 yards per game), and averaged 26.4 yards on 22 punt returns. Brown scored 19 touchdowns which made him third highest scorer in the NAIA.

Senate to Ask for Name Change

The Peru State College Student Senate, in it's January 28 meeting, voted by a ten to three margin to ask that the name of PSC's "Student Center Fee" be changed.

In discussion of a motion to change the name of the fee to "Buildings Bond Fee," made by Senator Scott Schmidt, Schmidt told the Senate that, in his opinion, the name now used for the $35.00 fee is misleading since it makes most people believe that they are paying for the use of the Student Center building, which they are not. Several other Senators expressed the same feeling. "Instead," said Senator Darrell Wellman, "Students paying the fee are actually helping to pay off the revenue bonds which financed the construction of several buildings at PSC."

Those senators who voted "NO" on the motion, Richert, Teten, and Bohling, objected only to the use of the word "bond" in the proposed name. Said Senator Richert, "We've got to think about a name that can be accepted easily. I honestly don't believe that the administration would go for the nam.e proposed." He suggested that "Building Fee" would be a better name.

A second motion was proposed to strike the first and drop the word "Bond" from the proposed name but it failed by a four to eight margin with one abstention. making the original motion stand as is.

The Senate also voted unanimously to approve a letter by Senate President Tony Nebelsick to Dr. Larry Tangeman, PSC President, requesting that student representation on three College Bodies be increased. The bodies, which affect students most directly, are the College Affairs Council, the Academic Affairs Commission and the Student Affairs Commission. Following acceptance, all senators presertt signed the letter.

In other business, Senate Budget Committee Co-Chairper-

son Betsy Billiard submitted to the Senate the Budget Committee's tentative Spring 1981 Budget, in the absence of committee Chairperson Sherry Biere.

,

The budget iriCluded expenditures for the 1980 Fall term, which totaled $4,913, 78, including the cost of Homecoming, Family Feud Night, the Street Dance, five movies, Game Nights, two craft classes and Evening Recreation.

The Spring budget totals which includes more than triple the amount spent last semester on films, in addition to $1,000.00 for roller skates, $896.00 for Delzell's Coffee Houses, $200.00 for security during last month's Blackberry Winter concert in the HPER Center, $75.00 for tournaments and $200.00 for Senate office furniture. Money spent last semester on refreshments during Senate activities will be nearly tripled this semester.

Activities which will or have already been financed through the Senate's budget, which is derived primarily from the $15.00 Student Programs fee assessed PSC students are: Winterfest tJanuary 12-15), Spring Week (March 30-April 3), ten movies, Game Nights, Evening Recreation, classes, Bingo Night, five tournaments, Sibling Weekend (January 23-25), Coffee Houses, Student Activities Calendar, ski trips, three craft classes, Card

Night and overnight camping trips. The budget for the/entire 1980-1981 school year totals $16,000.00 according to Billiard, which, she said, "Is sort of an 'iffy' since there are still persons who haven't yet enrolled for the Spring semester.

Verdell Bohling told the Senate that he believed he had faculty support for his proposed "closed circuit television" programming, which would involve vidio taping announcements, lectures, speeches, short plays, etc. and playing them, in the form of TV broadcasts, on the TV in the 'Fishb9wl' and elsewhere on canipus at certain times during the day. A steering committee was appointed by Nebelsick to oversee the planning needed for the project, which, Bohling said should be carried out "at least so that we can have something that we can"' say we've completed this year."

Senator Gwynne Conley's resignation from the Senate, as Nicholas-Pate Representative, was read and accepted. Nebelsick noted that he has selected Denise Anderson as her replacement. Other new Senators present at the meeting were Chuck Coatney and Cathy Sneider.

The Senate's next meeting will be held February 11 at 5:45 p.m. in the 'Fishbowl.' A special segment of the meeting will be · set aside specifically for the airing of complaints on the part of PSC students.

Ennis, brought to Peru through · a grant from the Nebraska Arts Council, is originally from· Nebraska· but was drawn to the Back country of Virginia and North Carolina by the "down home strength and style" of the area. He returns to his home state with a folk, country and bluegrass style, christened "newgrass," which he learned through his travels as a solo and band performer.

His travels as a performer eventually led him to the renouned Berkshire Folk Music Society in Massachusetts, which, he says, honed his delivery to include greater diversity and strength. · The Roadrangers include: Dan Elroy on banjo, Dave Blakeslee on mandolin and

Mental Health Specialist Available to Students

Dr. William H. Dreger, a visiting psychologist with the Blue Valley Mental Health Center, expressed concern that the services provided by the center are not being taken advantage of by persons who could benefit from them.

Dreger, who visits the PSC campus Tue.sday afternoons, said that this is the fourth year that services have been provided, which include counseling in emotional crisis, marriage difficulties, child development, drug and alCohol abuse, parentchild problems, school behavior and adjustment problems. He said that approximately 90 per cent of the counseling which he provides at PSC involves adjustment problems.

The Blue Valley Mental Health Center is a private, non-profit organization which is active in eight counties in Southeast Nebraska intending to provide services which improve the emotional health and wellbeing of the people of this area. The center's programs include hospitals, nursing homes, schools and other facilities and provide the services of psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, social workers, nilrses· and coordinators.

Petitions must be signed by the minimum number of students in order to have a name placed on the ballot.

Siblings View PSC

Last weekend twenty-two siblings, brothers and sisters of Peru State students found what a college weekend is like at Peru.

They saw a PSC victory over Chadron State, attended an ice cream social, a film festival, pizza party, Bob Inn Happy Times Dance, played competati ve games, campus walking tours, and attended a Continental Breakfast.

The sponsoring committee included: " Dave Eaton, director of residence life: Betsy Billiard,

coordinator o( student programs; Ken Steidle, director of admissions; Pat Larsen, director of college relations and credit also to Gary Adams, assistant director of food services, for his planning and directing.

This was the first time Peru Ambassadors led campus tours and helped with events. Ambassadors included: Beth Propst, Chuck Chase, Traca Alley, Laurie Graham, Lori Holloway and Darrell Wellman.

Admission to "The Boys From Syracuse" is $2 for adults and $1 for those under 18.

But, Dreger only half of his time spent on campus is ·being taken advantage of by persons who want aid. "I don't know what the problem is but it's certainly not limited to Peru Stale College," he said, "Perhaps it's the 'Strange man in the white coat syndrome.' People look at the words 'mental health' and see the words 'mental illness' and thir:ik that some strange person is going to experiment on them. "That not

Dreger said the Center also co-sponsors workshops on campus including the recent "Stress Workshop," and has been involved in the training of Dorm Direct.ors and RA's and recently was awarded a grant to work with alcohol problems in a program centered on PSC campus. "We're a human service," Dreger said, "like firemen. 'They work to prevent fires as well as fight them and its the same way with us except that we work with mental health."

Iowa Hearts Marathon Attended by Three from PSC

Three Peru State Circle K members attended a twenty-four hour card marathon, January 16 through the 18, in Ames, Iowa. The card game, Hearts, was played to benefit the Nebraska and Iowa Heart1 Association. This marathon was sponsored by the Nebraska-Iowa Circle K

Well Child Clinic Still Going Strong

Every first Friday of the month in the Neal Dining Room at Peru State College from 35 to 90 children are examined by a staff that includes a pediatrician from the University Hospital in Omaha. The well-child clinic date this month is Friday, Feb. 6, from 1 to 4 p.m.

According to Mrs. Virginia Miller, director of the clinic, and nurse for Peru State College, the clinic originated about 45 years ago with a grant from the Kellogg Foundation and with a span of a year and a half has been going strong ever since.

Mrs. Miller said the cooperative effort with the State Board of Health, the County Health Department and Peru State College with the Southeast Nebraska Community Action which is based in Humboldt providing staff assistance and

transportation for parents and children, plus community volunteers, insures that children from newborn to age 19 get basic inoculations and exams with no cost to the patient.

"The emphasis on the wellchild health is maintenance," she said. "We screen patients for anemia, hypertension, and we check specimans for sugar and protein in the brief physical." Patients are sometimes referred to hometown physicians or pediatricians which are loca.ted in Lincoln or Omaha.

She said that many counties in Nebraska don't have the services of a county nurse so she organized the program which became a pilot program for the state of Nebraska.

Services include cooperation with dentists in Nemaha and Richardson counties ir, w·

children are referred to on a sliding scale fee and cooperation with Women, Infant, Children program, a federally-funded nutrition program that provides formula for infants, milk for pregnant women and lactating mothers and children under the age of 5 and Head Start physicals from all over Southeast Nebraska.

Mrs. Miller said the clinic has not received a lot of publicity but has grown because of one mother telling another mother.

An Emergency Medical Technician, she came to Peru from Horton, Kan. She was a director of nurses at a 100-bed nursing home and was awarded a three-year diploma in pursing from Stormont Vail School of Nursing in Topeka, Kan. She has a bachelor of science degree in bPl"iness administration from Peru State Colkge.

Fee Provides Many Services

PSC students' $10.00 per semester health fee provides for many services according to College Nurse Virginia Miller.

The fee provides for a nurse, a doctor and a doctor's assistant. The doctor visits campus each Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 2-5 p.m. Appointments are necessary since the Health Center is also open toihe general public.

· ···Students receive a free office visit at the Center, but anything aside from that, such as x-rays, lab work, emergency room service or hospital stays are not covered by the fee. Mrs. Miller said that the Center also dispenses aspirin, bandages and the like free Of charge. Vaporizers, crutches, heating pads and ace bandages are also available for use free of Charge

Though the Health Center provides a wide range of services, Mrs. Miller stressed the need for all students to carry some type of insurance, with the high cost of medical care and inflation in mind.

Dear Editor:

Wow! It sure is nice to have an unsensored paper on campus to inform the stUdents about what is really going on behind the scenes here at Peru State. I am speaking, of course about THE ZENGER.

From the looks of the first PED this semester, you are a very sincere editor, and we can expect great things from the PED this semester. However, it is refreshing to know that we can now hear both the news and the cover-ups and rip-offs.

Keep up the good work! Both of You!

In the January 23, 1981 issue of the PEDAGOGIAN a letter was printed which, to say the least, criticized the policy of the Bobcat Bookstore regarding the resale of used books. While I cannot refute the in any way, I must at the same time apologize for the deletion of a story which reported the Bookstore's views on the same issue.

While I'm apologizing, I might as well say that I'm sorry if the article in the last PEDAGOGIAN on library v¥tdalism was vague to some peqple.

Divorce Conce-rns

Talking openly about impornt family issues, Fred Rogers MISTER ROGERS' NEIGHORHOOD will host a public. television forum on questions from parents about their · dren's attitudes and fears about divorce.

"Mister Rogers Talks With Parents About Divorce," will be roadcast Saturday, February 14, at 3 p.m., repeating Sunday, February 15, at 6 p.m. on the Nebraska Educational Television Network.

Similar in format to Rogers' two previous specials-about going to school and superheroes

The special program will be followed by a week of new episodes also dealing with divorce-Monday, February 16, through Friday, February 20, at 3:30 p.m.--0n Rogers' nationally acclaimed children's series, MISTER ROGERS' NEIGHBORHOOD.

"Almost all families are touched by a divorce these days," says Rogers, explaining his choice of subject matter.

Large-scale hog producers are recovery of hog prices received by farmers, according to the Center for Rural Affairs of Walthill, Nebraska.

Center analysis of the Department of Agriculture's latest report on hog numbers -r-eveals that while smaller operations were cutting back in response to low hog prices, farm operations with more than 500 head of hogs on hand increased production as a group during 1980. While comprising only 4.2 per cent of the nation's hog producers, this group produces over 42 per cent of the nation's hogs-more than any other group.

The Center for Rural Affairs has charged that federal tax rules are encouraging farm expansion and the development of large-scale operations beyond what is economically- justified. "Growth in large-scale operations will continue to hold hog prices down and force smaller farmers out of hog production,'' says Center officials, "until farmers begin to actively oppose federal policies which subsidize the trend toward a large-scale agriculture of fewer ·farmers."

V .A. to Share Money

A record $4.6 million in dividends will be shared in 1981 by 29,432 Nebraska veterans who have kept their GI life insurance policies in force, the Veterans Administration said today. No application is needed James C. Smith, director of VA regional office in Lincoln stressed. Dividends will be paid automatically during 1981 on the anniversary date of the individual's insurance policy.

The average amount to be paid to 708 World War I veterans in Nebraska with current policies is $296. A total 23,561 World War II veterans in the state will receive an average payment of $168 on their active policies, compared to $149 paid in 1980.

Korean conflict veterans who kept their GI insurance in force-a total 3,906 in Nebraska -will receive .an average payment of $67, up from $62 in 1980.

Disabled veterans who have a special type of GI insurance will also receive increased divi-

dends. These policies earned dividends for the first time last year when an average of $94 per insured was paid. In 1981, the 1,257 holders of these special policies in Nebraska will receive an average of $96 each. Smith said the $4.6 million dividend payout in the state is part of a national reeord $619.7 million in 1981 dividends to nearly four million veterans whose policies are still in force. Policyholders will receive varying amounts depending on the type of policy, the amount of insurance in force, the insured's age at issue or renewal and time the policy has been in force. Because of higher interest · rates earned by insurance funds, the amount to be paid to policyholders during 1981 is $53 million above the 1980 figure. A greater share of the higher interest rates was earned by those veterans who converted their insurance to permanent type policies rather than continuing to hold the original term policies, Smith said.

Care Package Lost' and Found

One of the thousands of 50-pound CARE food sacks bound for hungry people in Uganda did not reach its destination. While being loaded onto a ship in Pensacola Port it fell into the Bay and floated to a deserted beach near the Fort Pickens National Seashore. A young couple found the bag. A message in bright blue and red

"I gave once, but when I needed blood, we had lo recruit special donors:··

letters proclaiming the contents as '.'a gift of the people of the United States of America" was printed in 12 different languages on the bag. Although the bag had been .exposed to 251h hours of sun, water and sand, when the couple emptied it they found the contents, soy-fortified corn meal, perfectly intact.

Losing Streak·Over

Tom Mackey swished a 20-foot jump shot with five seconds remaining as the Peru State Bobcats snapped a long 13-game losing streak with a 56-55 shocker. over. Chadron

Friday, Jan. 23.

It was a joyous night for CQach Bill Squires' young squad. Not only was it their first victory since a win over Midland on Nov. 21, but it was Peru's initial win in their new · HPER Center. In addition; it was a key Nebraska College Conference game against a veteran Chadron squad that included seven seniors on their .10-man roster.

Mackey, a sophomore forward and the leading ,scorer in Nebraska, grabbed a rebound off Eagle forward Tim Stallings when Stallings missed a free throw opportunity with 1: 09

remaining and Chadron on top 55-54. The Bobcats then ran the clock down to five seconds before Mackey sunk the long ·jumper.

Mackey led all scorers with 23, but an outstanding perf by sophomore center Kip Allison, Gresham, kept the 'Cats close all night. The 6-9 Allison scored 21 and snared eight rebounds in one of his best performances for Peru State.

Despite the fact that Peru starting guards Jeff Smith and Gary Bender totalled only two points combined, the pair did a superb job of handling the Chadron pressure defense, the top defense against scoring in the state. The guards had only one turnover between them.

The victory moved Peru ·to 2-16, 1-2 in the NCC. Chadron fell to 8-6.

The Bobcats of Peru State continue to improve by way of a 69-64 upset win over Dana on Jan, 26 and a hard-fought 73-67 loss at the hands of conference foe Wayne State on Jan. 28. The games left the·j.mproving young Bobcats at 3-17 on the year. The 'Cats embarked on a month-long series of road games Monday, Feb. 2 at Donae. Coach Bill Squires' cagers w9n't see home action until Feb. 24 against conference rival Bellevue.

-The Dana contest was in doubt uritil just under three minutes to play when Peru held a 58-55 ' advantage. Consecutive buckets by sophomore .forwards Tom Mackey and Tom Johnson and by freshman guard Gary Bender' staked the 'Cats to a nine-point. advantage with just ov€r one minute remaining, and Peru held on for the 69-64 win. Mackey, a native of Vineland,

N.J., was the dominant force in the game, notching 31 paints. Johnson, Lawnside, N.J., played his best game at home this season and tallied 18. Dana has defeated the ;cats twice earlier in the season.

Wayne State pulled away from , a tight game by outscoring 21-8 in the last 5:.35 of the frrst half to take a commanding 43-28 halftime lead. The Wildcats looked as though they were going to run away early in the second half before sophomore center Kip Allison, Gresham, led a Peru rally that closed the gap. Allison scored nine points in just over three and one-half minutes and helped Peru close the margin to 53-45 with 11 minutes remaining.

Mackey and Bender kept the game close from that point on. Peru closed to 61-55 with 4:43 remaining on three buckets by

Mackey, but the Wildcats pulled'i away moments later for a 69-59·( lead. Bender helped close the gap with a pair of buckets to /. make the score 69-63 with :51 remaining, but Peru never closer than six points as Wayne ; iced the game on three Grady Hansen free throws. '

Mackey once again paced Bobcats with 24, but received help from Allison (11 points, seven rebounds, and three assists), Bender 00 points, eight rebounds, and three assists) and junior captain Jeff Smith (10 points and five assists). Wayne won the game at the free throw line, where they nailed 13 of 17 attempts compared to three of just five for Peru.

PSC Track Squad a Surprise

A strong second place showing in Peru State's first indoor track meet in years was an exciting surprise for Bobe.at Coach Dennis Obermeyer. The Peru men took second with 50 points, behind Midland with 73, while the women placed fourth in the five-team competition, also won by Midland.

The National Coalition to save Public Education, which was active in the 1977-1978 session of Congress in fighting the Tuition Tax Credit issue, has formed again to combat what it a serious effort to revive this type of regressive legislation in the current congress. The Coalition itself is working to develop state and local groups which will work in coordination with the national effort to have this legislation defeated. Among other things, it is estimated that tax credit legislation could cost from $4-5 billion, which, if passed in the current congress, cou1d mean the destruction of present student aid programs.

On the other side of the fence, UPDATE attended a budget briefing of the conservative Heritage Foundation. Heritage included in its budget recommendations to the Reagan administration that it cut education by $2.2 billion, V.A. benefits by $8.8 billion, social services by $3.8 billion and increase defense spending by $33. 7 billion in 1982. The foundation urges the phasing out of current education programs and that a system of tax credits be instituted in their place.

PSC to Develop 'TV' Programs

Closed circuit viedo-taped programs are in the planning stages at PSC. According to Verdell Bohling, Vice-President of the Student Senate and Chairperson of the Senate's Ad-Hoc committee, whose job it is to collect information concerning the program; the programs would encourage students to get involved in activities on campus. It would do this by announcing activities, organizational and club meetings, Senate activities and by airing. problems between students an<Yadministration.

Paul Kruse, Director of the

Name Change Called For

The Student Senate has called for a name change in "Student Center Fee," claiming that the name of the fee is misleading. This change has been talked about in previous meetings. Action came about from a motion made by Senator Scott Schmidt who said that he believes the title of the $35.00 fee is misrepresented to the student body. He said that many students thfnk this money is solely used for the Student Center, but really it is not.

Dr. Harold Deselms, vicepresident for administration, said that the Student Center Fee title is not misrepresented but may be misunderstood. Th!s $35.00 fee goes for building bonds, maintenance, heat, other building operations and activities. Deselms said he has no opinion as to whether he is in favor of such a change.

Student Senate President Tony Nebelsick, along with several other Senators, has the· same feeling about· the issue. President Nebelsick said that the Senate will draft a resolution and present it to the College Affairs Council at the next meeting. He believes that at this time it is hard· to comment on whether or not there will be a change but there is a "50-50" chance. The Senate will have to wait and see how the resolution stands up in College Affairs

Media Center, has agreed to allow the Senate to tape programs and Dr. Royal Eckert of the. Drama Department has suggested names of some students to be considered for the announcing to be done on the programs. It is hoped, said Bohling, that the. Speech and Drama Departments will also take advantage of the program.

Betsy Billiard, Student Programs Coordinator, mentioned the possibility of renting video-tapes and playing them along with the other programs and announcements.

Programs will probab,ly be aired three times daily, but taping time has not yet been determined. The major cost of the taping program will be the

wiring needed to get the programs into the dorms. It was announced at the February fourth meeting of the Student Senate that the cost of the wiring needed would be approximately $1,350.00, including $100 for wiring Morgan Hall, $250 for wiring Delzell Hall and. approximately $1000 to wire the Centennial Complex. Bohling said he hopesto have the wiring paid for from Student Programs Funds. "Since people are more oriented toward TV,'' he said, "it might go over better than a radio station would." If anyone has any id,e,as for programming, suggestions can be given to either Verdell Bohling or Committee ViceChairperson Chris Walsh.

Evaluation Team Visits Cam-pus

Four members of a North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools evaluation team were on the PSC campus last Sunday through Wednesday to evaluate the college for re-accreditation_, Team members assessing the performance and goals of Peru State ·college were: Dr. James R. Connor, team chairman, chancellor of the University of Wisconsin at Whitewater. His specialties being administration, social sciences and history;

Dr. Louise H. Allen, vice president for academic affairs, the University of Southern Colorado, Pueblo, with specialities in the humanities and foreign languages;

Dr. James A. Byrne, dean of New College, College of St. Thomas, St. Paul, Minn., with specialities in administration and teacher education; and

Dr. Wayne J. Mcllrath, professor of· biolQgical ·sciences ·

at Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, Ill., with specialities in biological sciences and botany.

General chairman of the self-study that preceded the team visit was Dr. Clyde J. Barrett, vice president for academic affairs at PSC. John P. Jacobsen, director of institutional research,_was director of the self-study. ··

"We are especially proud of the fact that Peru State College has been accredited by the North Central Association since 1915." Barrett said. "What this means is that Peru State College is a good place to study and credits from this college can be transferred elsewhere," he said.

An accreditation team was last on the campus five years ago. He said that over the past five years, the college has stepped up its efforts to evaluate its achievements, especially for its mission of "quality education."

Nebraska:beca.me a state iµ

1867 and. the legislature resognized what is now Peru State College as a normal school with a mission to train teachers. Students' needs diversified as the state grew and the mis.sion of the school changed, Barrett said.

In 1978-79 administrators, faculty·. and students conducted an extensiv:e review and assessment of the objectives of Peru State. The North Central Examiners' report of 1975-76 pinpointed areas of concern that the college has eliminated as part of the requirements for re-certification.

College administration and faculty strive to maintain accreditation with the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education, and the Nebraska Council for Teacher Educatiqn.

Fossen told his audience, co1I1posed of sJudents, their families, faculty· ·members', administratiop and staff, that there are two kinds of education. The first, he said, is the training of a student in a competant manner for the tasks he or she must undertake. The second, he said, opens our minds to a new world. Sixty-one PSC students were honored at the convo. Music for the program w.as provided by Dr. Thomas Ediger, Assistant Professor of Music at PSC. Dr. Clyde Barrett, Vice President for Academic Affairs, welcomed the group; Dr. Larry Tangeman, PSC President, gave administrative congratulations; Lee ·Kohrs, President of Alpha Chi Honor Society, congratulated honorees and Jack Hamilton, Assistant Professor of Business Education and President of the PSC Faculty Association, recognized the honorees for their high scholastic achievement.

OPINION

OFF THE RECORD

The student body is the only excuse for the exisqmce of this college. By necessity, an administration and staff exists, ,as does, of course; a: faculty. They exist for the students, not vice-versa.

Which brings me to the point of this editorial: the purpose of the Student Senate here is to keep the above facts in the minds of those here who are not students. The Student Senate is not a club and it is not an organization like any other on this campus. It is by necessity the watchdog of student rights and.must also be a champion of those rights.

When the Student Senate ceases to function in this way, what occurs is a situation much like the one we have here at PSC now.

Ideally, a student body and an administration exist in a friendly and peaceful arrangement, but things are seldom ideal. If a student senate stops being the elected reply to the administration, a vacuum is created for a very brief period of time, which is soon filled by the administration. There is no longer respect on the part of either group for the other. The respect is very very bard to get back. Last year's Senate here tried, by means which I'm not sure now ·that I agree with, and failed. This year's Senate is still trying.

Trying and not having anything to show.. for it but and' irrate;·relatively powerful. people; cari be seen by the student body as a whole, a student body which has come, in varying degrees of recentness, from those bastions of free speech and libert:y (I speak tongue in cheek-ly), American high schools. At Peru the student body sees only what it saw in high school-that you can't get anything but yelled at by the people running the place. So students here act accordingly and PRESTO !-this institution becomes just what they make it, a high school.

The situation here as regards the Student Senate's is deplorable. I know it, the Senate knows it, a good portion of the faculty and even some administrators know it. If you were to get right down to it, the student

body as a whole knows it. But what can be done? How' can students here come to· see that they can have an impact on policies which affect them?

Maybe if something were accomplished by the present Senate, however small and seemingly insignificant, which students as a whole will know about. Something like changtng a name here or there, for example.

Students I've talked to don't at all like the idea of a faculty lounge being in a student center. It's their feeling that a student center should be for students. They· get even more perturbed when I tell them that the Student Center isn't really a student center at all-a fact that was brought out plainly last year.

"So," they ask, "why is it called a student center?" Good question.

But there's the thought that, if the Senate changes the name of the building, which it has the power to do, by the way, the students won't like it because they will be taking away "their" Student Center. It never was-it's just that no one's ever told them that.

Maybe it's my own way of thinking, but I'd rather be told the truth, even if it does mean hurting the feelings of a few students who feel it is an honor to have only a name. ·

It's a small thing but it could be a start. I don't mean to pick only ori·tbe Student Center, though: What about the 'Student ·Center Fee'? How many people know what it's for?

If a start were made and if students knew about ·· it, who knows where it would lead?

"They got the name of a building changed, maybe they could do this or that .for me." The possibilities are endles$.

But PSC's Student Senate has accomplished a few things this year. It investigated and resolved a problem involving disappearing funds. It voted down an increase in .the Student Programs Fees. It voted for more student representation on college bodies. It voted to change the name of the 'Student Center Fee.' It is trying to increase security on campus. To say that it hasn't done anything

would be ludicrous. It has saved students' money and is trying to make them better informed and safer.

I applaude the efforts of the Student Senate this year, not only because it is progress toward the realization of its full potential but ·also because it is not too much all at once, which only alienates people. We need another year of this kind of Senate (without the absenteeism, of course).

An election is coming up in which a new Senate will be ch0sen. What kind of a Senate will it be? credibility is a big issue here.

If students see the Senate is a body which gets things done, rather than a place to put winners of a popularity contest, more people who are really interested in making sure students get a good deal will be attracted to it. A Senate full of people deeply in student welfare and the quality of their education would be a powerful thing. It would gain the respect of the faculty and administration and perpetuate itself with its reputation.

Students, in the election the Twenty-fifth of February must make a careful choice. Which candidates will do the most for students and their school? Those are the candidates who must be elected. For too long we have had the other kind.

LETTERS

Dear Editor: would like to clarify the statement made in the February 6, 1981 issue of the PEDAGOGIAN. When I (Verdell Bohling) was quoted as saying that the Student Senate should work together for the proposed "Closed circuit television" to be carried out, "at least so that we can have something that we can say we've completed this year."

I was.referring to a project that would be noticeable to the Student body as a whole. The Student Senate has accomplished several goals which have not been noticed by the Student body. This year's Student Senate has been plagued with a turn over in membership. This has made it difficult for the dedicated Senate members to accomplish their worthwhile goals. I sincerely believe that the new appointed members. of Student Senate are smcere m their interest to voice students views and work towards a better Peru State College.

Verdell Bohling, Vice President of Student Senate

Dear Editor,..

We here at Peru State have had the opportunity to view a lesson in paranoia lately, in the form of our new campus "newspaper (?)". I am speaking of course, of THE ZENGER.

The absolute absurdity of the first paragraph .of THE ZENGER'S "A Call for Unity" is beyond me. "Divide and conquor," it says," .it works pretty well for the administration at Peru State College." The editor seems to believe that the administration would like to brainwash all the students into a docile submission. While it may be true that the administration runs a tight ship, I don't swallow the statement that they are conspiring to keep the student body under their heel.

In closing, I would like to say that I agree with the basic ideas in THE ZENGER'S first two articles (but not the vicious swipes at the administration). I am not a staff member here at Peru, nor an administration puppet. I am merely an unbiased student who can see both sides of this "issue (? ) ".

I would suggest that in the future THE ZENGER either obtain a TOTAL journalistic integrity, or disband <which it seems to have already done).

Sincerely, KUBLIATOLAH

Women's IM Basketball

Intramural basketball began Monday night, February 9? with three games being played m the Old Gym, said Dr. Tom Fitzgerald, Director of Intramurals at PSC.

As of last Monday there were twelve men's teams and five women's teams eligible to play, said Fitzgerald. A one hundred forty-four students had signed up to compete and the season will run until nearly the middle of April.

According to Fitzgerald, one of the biggest reasons why the season will last this long is that there aren't usually seventeen teams signed up to compete, as there are now, in this winter sport.

He stated that the number of players signed up is considerably higher this year than in past years. He believes that one of th,e reasons the intramural program is attracting so many is that the ' program is meeting the needs of students. Being able to use the Old Gym any night without having to juggle time around other activities is .also a big

IM Basketball Schedule

factor. He concluded that more students seem to be interested in basketball now than in previous years.

Fitzgerald also stated that the number of students who participated in this year's IM volleyball season, just ended, was also up considerably over previous years. -

Sixty-two men participated in their division, fifty-seven women played in the women's division and students competed in the division of the IM volleyball season.

Fitzgerald said this good turnout proves to him that the intramurals program at Peru State has become widely known to all students and that the interest shown makes his job much more rewarding than when there is less student interest.

A post-s'eason tournament concluded the IM volleyball program this year and in the single elimination tournament the following teams came out on top: The B.S.ers, managed by Mary Lohmeier and Rhea Spears and including Verissa

Roxanne Gottula, Kathy Snyder,_,I_'_,, LouAnn Ramer, Rita Chmiel,•, Twila Fickel and Kae Erisman, 1 won in the Women's division. ;1, The Diggers, managed by Joni :1 Vrtiska, including Walsh, Jeanette Gauchat, · Brockhous, Marla Chamberlain, l Brenda Rausch, Sally Sandfort, 1 Jackie Nixon and Becky Rossell, l won the Women's division in the < regular season. '

In the Men's division, the H.D.0.'s, coached by Dave Uldrich and including Jeff Schieber, Jim McKim, Tim Woodruff, Dave Rossell, Phil Yoesel, Chris Hutt, Jerry Applegate, Steve Saathoff and ' Masoud Zarkeshfard, won bqJh the regular and post season tournaments.

The No Minds, coached by Kevin Niday, with Kim Grinstead, Shelley McAdams, Bob Peterson, Tony Niday, Garland Shaffer, Marty Haverty, Steve Buss, Carol Brady and Becky Kaiser, took the division, defeating the Rowdies in the post season tourney, and also winning the regular season.

Lady 'Cats Win Home Finale

Peru Drops Two to Tough Competition

Perhaps the toughest back-toback competition of the season saw the Peru State Bobcats play well, but not well enough to win as PSC fell to Kearney State and

, Northwest Missouri State on the road last week.

Grinstead and Lorrie'Curnes each collected eight rebo_3IDds on the night, and Ahern grabbed seven. · Peru out-rebounded Northeast's Lady Hawks 51-39 and shot 41 per cent from the field, compared to Northeast's 'Z1 per cent. Ten Peru cagers scored for Coach Marta Crume. Northeast scoring was led by Janet Thomas, their only player in double figures with 18 points.

Crume's squad finishes the season when they travel to Chadron State Feb. 21 at 5:15 p.m. and Nebraska Wesleyan at Lincoln Feb. 24 at 7:30.p.m;

Kearney State downed the 'Cats 76-51 in a Nebraska College Conference tilt Monday, Feb. 9, and rugged Northwest Missoilri. State claimed an 80-69 decision on Wednesday, Feb. 11. The BObcat schedule shows games remaining at Chadron State (Feb. 21) - and the home and season finale against Bellevue on Feb. 24.

The Bobcats led throughout the early going against perennial powerhouse Kearney, with Peru on top by 21-16 with 9:07 remaining in the first half. From that point, the Antelopes scored l5 unanswered points and were never threatened. ,

Bobcat forward Tom Mackey took game scoring honors with 21, and he added six rebounds.

Mackey continues tq be the top scorer among state colleges. He currently sports a 20.7 point average per game.

Kip Allison added 14 points and eight rebounds, while sophomore forward. Tom Johnson snared 10 rebounds. Jeff Veerhusen led the balanced Kearney attack with 14.

The Bobcats pushed the Bearcats of Northwest Missouri all the way before bowing 80-69. Peru held Northwest's starting five to just 30 points on the night, but superior bench strength (Peru got only two points from non-starters) and accurate free throw shooting made the difference.

Peru's Tom Jo)lnson led. all,

scorers with 21 points, and he added 10 rebounds. Tom Mackey followed with 18. Kip Allison added 15 points and held Bearcat center Scott MacDonald to no points on the night.

Antliony Darby came off the bench to lead NWMSU with 18, and substitutes Phil Smith and Todd Gordon added 16 and 11 respectively. The Bearcats shot a fine 54 per cent from the floor and held a 44-35 edge in rebounds. Peru State hit a lukewarm 42 per cent from the floor.

It was the free throw line that made the big difference. Northwest potted 10 of 13 charity shots, including nine of 10 in the second half. The Bobcats, usually a fine free throw shootingteam, managed to sink oilly 13 <if 26Jrom the line,

Walsh, Bohling New Team

Chris Walsh and Verdell Bohling were elected President and Vice President of PSC's 1981-1982 ·Student Senate in a three way race which resulted in an unprecidented 47 per cent of Peru's student body taking part on February 25, sa.id Political Committee Vice Chairperson Lori Berg. Last year's Senate elections saw 30 per cent student participation, she said.

Said Verdell Bohling, who is also Vice President of the current Senate, "I think Chris and I won on the issues. A lot of people approached me following the Presidential Forum (Febr. 25) and told me that there were more important issues than just the way we choose homecoming royalty."

Walsh and Bohlings' opponents were Shelly McAdamsRhea Spears and Alvin HolderLamond Wilburn.

"The only major changes we'll make in the way the present Senate operates," said Bohling, "will be an increased cooperation with the administration and we'll also strive for a better image of the Senate in the eyes of students."

Also on the ballot were eight Sena tor at Large positions, which were filled by: Jim Anderson, Donna Clark, Darrell Wellman, Emil Janda, Karen Coover, Anthony Nebelsick, Scott Schmidt and Steve Saatboff.

Elected to represent PSC's dorma tory residents were: Marie Blevins from Morgan Hall, Lee Fellers from ClayburnMatthews Hall, Cindy Baker from Davidson-Palmer Hall, Gwynne Conley from NicholasPa te Hall. Al Urwin from Delzell Hall.

Two··Commutors were elected to represent residents. They are Naomi Rucsh-and John Teten.

Two Freshman representatives will be elected early next semester.

Also on the ballot was a question regarding the establishment of a finals week at PSC, which was approved by students.

Next year's Senate will officially take office, said Berg, on April I of this year. Until then they will undergo a period during which they will learn Senate procedure.

WANTED: A Little More Security in Peru

Students Ask for· Increased Security

A group of some seventy PSC students attended Peru's City Council Meeting March 4 apd petitioned the council for increased security in the face of harrassment and beatings which reportedly have been suffered by both students and non students alike over the past few years.

"We as students," said one present, "have no other social outlet after ten or eleven o'clock, when the college closes down. We like coming down here (downtown Peru) in freedom, without being harrassed."

Peru Mayor Jack Mcintire told those present that he is aware of the problem, caused, he said, by a handful of persons but that the Council didn't have enough money for another police officer. He told students who are

harrassed to file complaints with the County Attorney.

Mcintire said, however, that he has instructed Peru's one fulltime and one parttime police officers to arrest someone the next time there's a fight. "If we· send some of them (those who he said were causing problems) to jail, maybe this will stop." He said also, that unless thQse making trouble are barred from Peru's bars, they will be closed at 6:00 p.m. The event that "brought it all to a head," said PSC Student Senate President Elect Chris Walsh, "was the fight last Friday." Walsh was speaking in an interview -with KETV television of an incident occurring February 27 which began in the ·Little Acorn Bar and Grill and eventually , involved 75 persons in Peru's main street

Sleuth Cast Announced

Dr. Charles Harper, assistant professor of speech and drama at Peru State College, has announced a change in the cast for "Sleutb," a two-act thriller to be produced by the Peru Players, April 9-12.

- Sophomore Bob McCune, Springfield, was originally cast in the leading role of Andrew Wyke, an English detective storywriter, but has declined the part for personal reasons, Harper said.

Appearing as Wyke instead will be Richard Wood, a Stella sophomore majoring in speech and drama. Wood's stage credits with the Peru Players include "Pardon Me, Is This Planet Taken?," "The Birthday Party" and "The Boys from Syracuse."

Wood is the son of Gene and Marilyn Reeder. Mrs. Reeder is a dorm director at Peru State's Centennial Complex.

Peru Players' 'Veteran Mark McFadden, a junior, plays the other lead as Milo Tindle, Mrs. Wyke's lover. His previous stage credits at Peru include "F.antastiks," "Pardon Me, Is This Planet Taken?," "The Birthday Party," and "The Boys from Syracuse." The son of Mrs. Amelia Hernandez of 1640 Nelson, Oxnard; Calif:; McFadden is majoring in speech and drama.

Also selected to appE,!ar in "Sleuth" are Bill Smithers as Inspector Doppler, _Lawrence Kelly as Police Constable Higgs and Keith-Wilkinson as Detective Sargent Terrant. Harper, ·assistant professor of speech and drama, declined to give more information about his "unknowns," that people will have to come to the show to find out more about the three, who are not PSC students.

Rehearsals for the production, which'opens April 9 at 8 p.m. in the College Auditorium, are open only to those immediately associated · with the play. "Usually I keep rehearsals open to anyone who wants to watch, but this time they'll be closed so we can lteep the ending a surprise," Harper said._ "Sleuth" will also be performed April 10and11 at 8 p._m. and April 12 at 3 p.m. m the auditorium. Adtp.ission is $1.

and in a vacant lot.

The Council angered many persons at first by holding an apparently secret meeting in a small room adjacent to the large hall where most people had gathered and explaining their actions by telling students who discovered them there that they were not on the agenda.

Approximately forty PSC students crowded into the room and persuaded the council to adjourn and move into.the larger hall, where those present had been waiting for fifty minutes for a meeting to materialize.

Council members heard individual reports -of harrassment and pleas for aid from persons who'd reportedly been victimized.

Asked by · Mayor Mcintire to make a statement about the incidents, PSC President Dr.

Larry Tangeman, also in attendance, said that, although there is no end to his concern, his jurisdiction extends only as far as does PSC's campus. He encouraged students and townspeople alike to work together to solve their problems.

Dr Tangeman said in a written statement earlier this week that he is confident that the college and community can be successful in their efforts.

On Tuesday, March 10, a group of PSC students attended the Nemaha County Commissioners meeting in Auburn and asked that another Sherrif's Deputy be hired, so that the safety of the county can be guaranteed. A letter supporting the student body in its efforts to increase protection was also presented by PSC's Student Senate.

Business Contest Winners

Nemaha Valley (Cook) High School received first place in Peru State College's seventh annual high school business contest, according to contest director Jack Hamilton, assistant professor of business education.

Darrell ·Wellman Involved

PSC Students. Let's get back to the basics of ·why we are attending school here at Peru. We all. know the problems that some students have encountered downtown and we also realize that these altercations must be stopped.

The college has gone through a fairly difficult time the last week, publicity wise, but this need not be all negative. Now that the problem is out in the air so students, administration and city officials realize that a solution is needed. We can all develop a felling of continuing to work together'. cooperate and make Peru State College a good place to further one's education in the state of. Nebraska.

I wish I could promise that it is safe for all students to go down town and carry on whatever doing they care to. But I can't!

Some of the people attending PSC do not have ariy means of transportation other than walking and I would like to think that the streets of Peru are at least safe enough for them to carry on whatever business they need to.

There is more to Peru than just going to bar. Someone may want to go to the Mini-Mart, grocery store, post office,

restaurant .and any .etller business. We ·must realize fbat bars are not always. tile· ldy place students are going. when they venture· do\vntOWn. ·

The price is atme:h an expense that it is DotfeaSlbte to "hop in your car" (for who have one) and go i9 A: or Nebraska City everjtilne you need to buy something. As long as we live in Peru and patronize those merchants downtown it is bound to be better for tis in the long run. Practically everyone in Peru realizes the importance of the students to the business district. Nobody would try to deny that the town· could not slirvive without the school. We must remember that we need the town to carry on many of our activities, also.

My purpose of this letter is to thirik of some good aspects of the publicity the college· has and don't exaggerate the bad remarks. I plan on being back next year I hope many of you reading this will also. Also, be sure .to continue and invite others to look at the "Campus of a Thousand Oaks" · and keep enrollment on the upswing.

Older Workers Week

When President Reagan nated this week, March 8-14, Older Workers Week, Delbert Niemeier decided it was the most important week of the year.

"Year after year average retirement ages go down and the number of older people goes up, and before you know it more people will be collecting Social Security than working," ·Niemeier, State Director of Nebraska Farmers Union Green Thumb said.

Green Thumb is a non-profit organization dedicated to the employment of low · income senior citizens in rural areas. It is sponsored by the Farmers Union and funded primarily by the Department of Labor. In Nebraska there are 351 Green Thumb workers in 40 counties, Niemeier said.

"It is time people began to realize that just because· someone reaches 65 years of age, it doesn't mean he or she becomes suddenly useless. Senior citizens are still very capable. We have them working at senior nutrition centers, as library assistants, as museum guides, as park caretakers, and

Gospel Group to Perform at Pershing

Dr. Larry Pappas, Assistant Professor of Natural Science at PSC, has received a' grant of $17,176 to study factors related to the attraction of mosquitos fo blood.

Mosquitos

Scientists don't completely understand the physiological mechanism behind the attraction of mosquitoes bitting a person or animal, said Dr. Larry Pappas, assistant professor of natural science at Peru State College.

Research that Pappas has conducted since the summer of 1980 deals specifically with determining what factors in blood attract the mosquito and cause it to-bite and feed 9n blood, either human or animal, he said.

"I feel this is· important research," Pappas said, "because last year in the U.S. there were 1600 cases of malaria, up from no cases in 1974." Another disease, dengue hemoragic fever appeared in Southe·rn Texas last year ·where there were 38 cases, the first time it has been in the U.S. It came from Mexico and had previously been in South America, he said, so it is traveling north quickly transmitted by mosquitoes.

Closer to home, Pappas said that encephalitis victimized 244 persons,in the U.S., in 1980, and in this area dog heart worms are carried by mosquitoes.

"Economically, millions of dollars are spent to control the mosquito population without success. It is also very clostly in terms of human suffering in the world-wide population," Pappas said.

Peru State College is seeking a Science Foundation

grant which was approved at the January State College Board of Trustees for $17,176 for equipment which would help with this study and others, Pappas said.

Other scientific research that Pappas has conducted in Southeastern Nebraska includes comparing the kinds and numbers of trees in Nemaha County in 1856, 1955 and 1977.

"Tree loss in Nemaha County has occurred in ,the past 25 years, according to Pappas' research findings."

A pa,per, "Tree Species in a Remnant of the MissQuri River Floodplain" with senior author

Tim Boerner, research about the Ritchie Wildlife area, will be published in a quarterly biology journal, "BIOS. ·

Pappas said he feels it is very important for undergraduate students to be involved in on-going research. PSC students

Jeff Wignall, Glenwood, Iowa, and Alan Lunzman, Auburn, are researching of the natural areas on the PSC campus as independent study.

The Grammy Award winning Imperials will perform Thurs., April 2, 1981, at 8:00 at Pershing Auditorium in Lincoln.

The hottest act in the fast-growing field of contemporary Christian music, The Imperials are successfully bridging the gap between secular and. Christian music and the musical gaps in Christian music as well.

"The Eagle Song," from their "One More Song for You" album, generated strong airplay on.pop and adult comtemporary radio stations while becoming a hit on Christian stations.

Grammy award winning producer, Michael Omartian, who produced 1981's Album of the Year, Christopher Cross, prodtl"ced "Priority" and "One More Song for You."

'1".he growing acceptance and popularity of The Imperials outside Christian music is a strong testimony to their

dynamic live performances, as well as their top-quality studio worth· with Omartian.

But, while the Imperials have grown in popularity, it has not been at the expense of the message. The love of God is the Imperials' first priority.

ha".e distingwshed m gospel and popular music -since they began in 1964. They had worked as a gospel act exclusively until they began work with Jimmy Dean·and Elvis Presley.

In 1975, The Imperials made the decision to immerse themselves totally into gospel music.

Since that decision, the group has ridden to the top of their field with a fresh, contemporary sound. The Imperials have bridged all gaps in gospel music. You'll find their albums on all three of the Contemporary Christian Music magazine's _Song Charts-Con temporary, MOR and Southern Gospel.

And,' with their growing popularity, versatility and musical openness have come awards-three Grammy Awards and Six Dove Awards (the Grammy of the gospel field). The Imperials were the only gospel group featued on the 22nd annual Grammy Awards telecast. Now, they are embarking on another first. The first nationally promoted concert tour by a contemporary Christian act. That tour will embrace more than 50 cities and reach some 300,000 concert patrons. Tickets for The Imperials are available at: Maranatha Chris. tian Supply, Logos Bookstore, Agape Christian Books, Serenity Family Bookstore, Grace Bookstores, Bellevue Bible store, Christian Resource Cen· ter, Zondervan Family Bookstore, Pershing Auditorium, Miller & Paine, Magees.

Lady 'Cats ·Hopeful

The Peru State Lady Bobcats fielded a youthful basketball team during the 1980-81 season, and that youth bolsters prospects for next year, according to Head Coach Marta Crume.

Despite the loss of standout rebounder and defensive ace Julie Brinkman, the lone senior on the PSC squad, Crume anticipates the Lady 'Cats will be balanced and much more experienced in the season to come, Peru will return the top three scorers off this year's squad, and 11 players who saw extensive varsity action during

the 2-17 campaign. this winter, including six freshmen.

Jackie Nixon, junior standout from La Vista, was the leading scorer on the team for the third consecutive year. The 5-5 guards pumped in 228 points for a 12.0 average, and led Peru with 35 assists.

Lorrie Cornes, sophomore center from Reed Springs, Mo. (formerly of was the other Bobcat to score in double figures. Cornes netted 192 points to sport a 10.1 scoring average, and the 5-9 post averaged 5.3 rebounds per contest.

The Peru State men's tract team began the 1981 indoor season back on Jan.. 23 with a surprising second place finish in an invitational at Nebraska Wesleyan. The 'Cats attended their second invite at Wesleyan on Feb. 26, but this time the results were different as the men finished last in the seven-team field. The Lady Bobcats, who finished last at the first Wesleyan invite improvjl(f to a fourth-place finish.

Coach Dennis Obermeyer's track teams faced NAIA District 11 competition on March 3 _at Crete. The squad closed its indoor season on Thursday, March 5 in a dual. with Wayne State in PSC's new HPER Center. Competition begins at p.m.

It was a junior college from Kansas, Cloud County, that outclassed six four-year schools in men's competition at Wesleyan. Cloud County scored 1661h, followed by Kansas Wesleyan with 74, Yankton (S.D.) with 42, Nebraska Wesleyan with 411h, Dana with 30, and the Bobcats with 27. Peru had previously defeated both Nebraska and Dana.

Obermeyer said "Cloud. County hurt us bad as anybody," noting that the Kansans were strong in the same events as Peru. In addition, Peru was foiled by several disqualifications due to false starts in a number of hurdles and sprints.

Doug Barlow, freshman from Lincoln, provided Peru with its highest finish with a second place showing in the 300 meter dash. Barfow placed fifth in the 60 meter intermediate hurdles.

Norm Parrish, senior from Homewood, Ill., earned fifth

place in the 60 meter dash, sixth in the long jump, and a tie for sixth in the 300 meter.

Keith McKim, junior from Humboldt, placed fourth in the 60 yard intermediate hurdles, and be added a fifth place finish in the high jump, though his 6-5 leap was well off his personal indoor best of 6-7.

BobcatS Bruce Kalchik, Omaha freshman, and Scott Teten, Brock freshman, finished fifth and sixth in the pole vault. Mark Tillman, Ogallala sophomore, placed sixth in the 440, and the mile relay team earned fourth to round out Peru scoring. In women's competition,. Midland ran away with the win on 163 points. Nebraska Wesleyan followed with 95, then Cloud County with 87, Peru State with 22, Dana with 16, and Kansas Wesleyan with 13.

Table Rock freshman Glevon Covault was the Peru standout, places _in three events. Covault was third in the long jump, fifth in the 60-meter dash, and fifth in the 300 meter.

Robin Jessen, freshman from Malvern, Ia., scored the highest placing with a second-place finish in the 60 meter hurdles.

Verissa Ruenholl, Syracuse junior, was fifth in the two mile run. The mile relay team scored points for a fifth-place finish.

Following the dual with Wayne State, the track teams will take a month off before beginning the outdoor season on April 4 at the Northwest Missouri State Invitational at Maryville. No home outdoor track meets are scheduled.

·-

The Peru State indoor track team found that improved performances were not enough during the NAIA District 11

track meet, held March 3 at Doane College.

"We ran as strongly as we ever have," said Coach Dennis Obermeyer. "Our times were good, but not as good as some of the more experienced teams."

Doane claimed the championship in the men's division with 1551h points. Kearney State followed with 106, then Midland (62), Hastings (56), Concordia (42), Chadron State (27112), Wayne State (26), Peru State (20), and Dana College with one.

Keith McKim, junior from Humboldt, was Peru's top individual. McKim placed third in the 60 yard high hurdles, and added a fourth place in the high jump with a school record-tying leap of 6'8.

Doug Barlow, Lincoln freshman, earned a pair of fourth places in the 60 yard dash and the 300 yard dash. He was a member of the sixth "place mile relay team, along with Ken DeHart, Mark Tillman, and Dan Konfrst.

Norm Parrish, senior from Homewood, Ill., was the only other Bobcat to score, earning sixth in the 60 yard dash.

The Lady Bobcats finished at the bottom of their division with four points. Kearney State placed first with 150112, followed by Midland (142), Doane (58112), Hastings (29), Wayne State (18), Concordia (12), Chadron State (10) and Dana (6).

A pair of fifth placings was all Peru could manage. Glevon Covault, Table Rock freshman, scored in the long jump, while Robin Jessen, freshman from Malvern, Ia., placed in the 60 yard hurdles.

Peru State ended the indoor season on March 5 in a dual with Wayne State at Peru.

Coach Bill Squires, losing no players to graduation, looks forward to coaching an experienced Bobcat basketball team next year.

Rebuilding Process Hopeful

Despite a 4-23 record during the 1980-81 basketball season, Peru State fans have a lot to look forward to. Sophomores played the major roles in the rebuilding process, as evidenced by the Bobcat's final statistics.

The Bobcats, coached by Bill· Squires, lose no players to · graduation. Considering that three of the 'Cats top scorers and the top three rebounders were sophomores, the future appears. good.

Tom Johnson, a 6-3 sophomore' forward from Lawnside; N.J.,1 finished the year as Peru's topi scorer and rebounder. The two-year letterman tallied 365 points on the year for an average. of 13.5 per game, and added 181 rebounds for a 6.7 average. He hit on 47 per cent from the field, best on the team.

Another New Jersey native, sophomore forward Tom Mackey, had the highest scoring average for the 'Cats since joining the team at The 6-3 leaper netted 312 points in 16 appearances for an average of per game, and he averaged 4.6 rebounds per gamefor Peru. Mackey has been among the top scorers in the state since joiriing the 'Cats.

Kip Allison, 6-9 center from Gresham, ended his second year on the Bobcat varsity as the number four scorer and number two rebounder. The slender sophomore scored 255 polnts for a 9.4 average, and grabbed 164 rebounds for 6.1 per contest.

Junior captain Jeff Smith, a guard from Lincoln, closed his third year in the Bobcat lineup with a 9.7 scoring average with

262 points. The 6-2 playmaker has been a Bobcat regular since 1978.

A pair of 6-5 forwards stand next in the final stats. Sophomore Phil Bailey, Omaha, averaged 5.6 points and 3.6 rebounds in 20 appearances for Peru. Keith McKim, a junior from Humboldt, averaged 5.2 points and 2.5 rebounds in 22 outings.

Gary Bender, 6-0 guard from Humphrey, was the only freshman to crack the starting lineup with any regularity. The promising young Bender was the fifth-leading scorer for Peru with 134 points in 26 games for a 5.1 average, and he averaged 3.2 rebounds also.

Sophomore forward Brett Nanninga, Humboldt, was one of only four players to see action in every varsity, game. Nanninga averaged 3.3 points and 2.5 rebounds in his second year for the Peru varsity. Freshman center Morris Liesmeyer,. Syracuse, showed occasional brilliance during a season that saw him average 3.3 points and 3.2 rebounds.

Other members of the Bobcat varsity included Plainview sophomore Jay Knaak; Mike Haney, sophomore guard from McCook; Pat Harrison, sophomore guard from Omaha; Rocky Herr, sophomore guard from Humboldt; Steve Garretsen, junior guard from McCook, and sophomore forward Mark Tillman, _Ogallala.

High School Invitational Inside

The annual Peru State College invitatioMl junior and senior high school track meets will move indoors to the new HPER. Center at Peru, according to Dennis Obermeyer, meet director and head track coach at Peru State.

The three-day meet will include boy's and girl's

tion for combined Classes A and B and Classes C and D on the senior high level. The junior high boys and girls meet will be open to all classes, Obermeyer said. Competition begins on Thursday, April 2, with a meet for senior high School boys and girls from the Class C and D. schools. On fricjay, A.pril 3, senior hig!l

PSC Junior Keith McKim, Peru's top trackster at the NAIA District 11 track meet, held in Crete March 3, places third in

the 60-yard high hurdles. Mc Kim also tied a PSC record in the high jump.

Store's Monopoly a 'Must'

On March 25th, a Student Senate Committee met with Jeanie Jones, manager of the Bobcat Bookstore, regarding pricing policies on books and campus monopoly. The Committee is chaired by Chris Walsh, student senate president and Lee Fellers, senate representative for Clayburn-Mathews Hall.

Mrs. Jones said that to make a profit the bookstore buys books from a warehouse and sells them to the students to make a profit. These books are then bought back from the students at approximately half the original price, except when the books are being terminated and then the Bookstore will pay warehouse price to the students. She also said, "We purchase these books for the students to

buy and if they decide not to buy them, we eat the price." The Bookstore then has to sell the books that are left over for a lower and loses. r.1oney.

President Walsh said, "There is a statement in the Bookstore contract that gives them a monopoly on campus, meaning no one can compete with them." He also said, "As a result nothing can be done by the students because we cannot open a store or have a book exchange because this would be violating the Bookstore contract."

"After my reading through the contract and speaking to Mrs. Jones about pricing policies it looks as if prices cannot be changed if the Bookstore is to operate at a profit or break even," said Walsh.

Small Cast a-challenge

Is being a l>art of a two-lead cast very different from appearing with a larger group on stage?

"Yes, and I love it," said Peru Players veteran Mark McFadden, an Oxnard, Calif., junior. McFadden is one of the cast members appearing in Peru State College's production of "Sleuth," a two-act thriller scheduled to run April 9 through 12 in PSC's College Auditorium.

"It's harder to memorize your lines, because you have more to memorize, but you have more opportunity to expand yourself as an actor and you're able to develop the character more fully," McFadden said.

"Working in a larger cast means spending more time on stage with fewer lines to read," he said. "With a two-lead cast, you don't have to worry about ·acting' without detracting from the main action on stage, which may take place between characters other than yourself,'' said McFadden:

·'Sleuth" director Dr. Charles Harper, assistant professor of and drama at PSC, dgrees with McFadcjen concerning the challenges and opportun-

ities afforded by working with a small cast.

"It's harder, because the actors can't depend on anyone else-there's more responsibility, because they're carrying a larger percentage of the load on stage," Harper said.

"The big advantage is that I get to work much more closely with the actors. Our working relationship is more intense, and I can give more individual attention to each actor," he said. "With so few people on stage, however, we have to work for more variety within each actor." Harper added.

Richard Wood, Stella sophomore, is another cast member of "Sleuth." He appears as Andrew Wyke, an English detective storywriter, and McFadden appears as Milo Tindle, Mrs. Wyke's lover. Three "extras" on stage will be Bill Smithers, Lawrence Kelly and Keith Wilkinson, Harper said.

"Sleuth" will be performed April 9 through 11 at 8 p .m. and April 12 at 3 p.m. in the auditorium, he said, Admission is $1.

Sel')ators Attend Conference D. C.

by Rosie Schulenberg

Five members of the PSC Student Senate left Wednesday for Washington, D.C. Three members of the Executive Committee of the Senate: Chris Walsh, President;. Verdell Bohling, Vice ·.President, and Jim Anderson, Corresponding Secretary; and Naomi Rusch and Scott Schmidt' made the frip by car to attend a Lobbying Conference sponsored by the United States Student Association at George Washington University. The conference begins today and lasts until April 14. '

"There are two reasons for

going to this conference;" said Walsh. "Number one, to try to strengthen the Senate and get ideas and· exposure to new ideas so we can build a more effective Senate. Nu:inber two, to try to our concern to the congressmen over the proposed budget cut in the area of Education."

The first three days of the conference will be spent in workshops, and the remaining two days the committees will speak with members of Congress, especially from their own states. "We hope to talk with Peter A. Peyser of New York, a meniber of the House Education and Labor Committee."

CF Walk-A-Thon Planned

Peru area youngsters are invited to take part in the Cystic Fibrosis Breath of Spring Walk-A-Thon at Neal Park on Saturday, May 2, from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Participation in the Cystic Fibrosis Walk-A-Thon is open to anyone wishing to help children and young adults who suffer with cystic fibrosis and other lungdamaging diseases like chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis and severe asthma.

Barbara Sherman, chairman of the Walk-A-Thon, explains, "When you walk on Saturday, you'll be doing what a lot of youngsters with CF and other lung diseases wish they could do

And ·they need our help for research to find a cure for cystic fibrosis, and for the medical care that helps them live longer,'' Sherman said.

According to Sherman, preregistration begins at 12:30 p.m. at Neal Park.

To enter the Walk-A-Thon, residents of Peru should obtain "sponsor sheets" at the Mini Mart or 1012 5th Street. After obtaining sponsors among friends, relatives and neighbors, participants will walk in the Walk-A-Thon. After the Walk-AThon, )pledges will be collected based.' on the number of miles each participant accomplished

A $50 membership fee t0: the ··USSA for the five members of the committee was paid from the Senate funds. The additional $1,375, including transportation to and from Washington, meals and lodging is being paid by the Student Programs.

"When we come back, we plan to inform students extensively on what happened at the conference and put the things Wf: learned into action in our Senate," said Walsh. Anyone wishing further information on the conference can contact Chris or any other member of the Executive Committee. for .the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

·

"Even if you can't participate in the event, you can help our lung-damaged children in Nebraska by sponsoring the wonderful kids who are giving their time and energy to help less fortunate youngsters," says Sherman.

"We hope everyone in Peru will give their support to the research, care and education programs that are giving the Breath of Life to lung-damaged children in this country."

Foundation Fights CF

It has been said that American ingenuity and enthusiasm can solve any problem. American knowhow and concern defeated polio, put a man on the moon, invented the lightbulb, and helped to eradicate smallpox from the face of the earth.

There are an estimated 30,000 · children and young people in this country who need some of that American spirit behind them to solve a problem. They have cystic fibrosis, an inherited and incurable disease that robs them of breath and life.

Cystic fibrosis affects the exocrine (outward secreting) glands of the body, primarily those secreting mucus. In patients with CF, abnormally thick, glue-like mucus clogs the lungs and blocks the flow of digestive enzymes from the pancreas. CF patients struggle to breathe, suffer with frequent lung infections, and may fail to thrive due to malabsorption of food. Lung damage, resulting. from infection, is the leading cause of death in CF patients.

It is estimated that one in every 20 Americans carry the recessive CF gene. That's about 10 million people! The chances of a child being born with CF are one in four with each pregnancy if both parents have the recessive gene; the odds with each pregnancy of being born a carrier are two in four. Today, an infant diagnosed with CF has only a 50 per cent chance of living past age 19.

Nat'I Drug

Course April 28

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation supports research to find the cause and cure of this tragic disease. There are over 100 CF Chapters across the country where volunteers help to raise the money to fund research and quality medical care in CF Foundation-assisted Cystic Fibrosis Centers. There are currently 121 CF Centers in the U.S. specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of related lung and digestive diseases.

With enough people applying their time, talent and financial supwrt, cystic fibrosis can be cured. To find out how you can help CF and other crippling lung diseases, call the Nebraska Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in Omaha, (402) 592-1970.

While ironing in the basement of her home in University Park, Maryland, a homemaker thought up the name for an organization that soon became a household word-CARE. In 1945, Dr. Lincoln Clark, one of the founders and first· staff members, discussed the need for a name with his wife Alice, who suggested Cooperative for American Remittances to Europe which· spells CARE.

PSC a Big Family, Says Japanese Guest

by Cindy L.

Baker

Emiko Matsui of Tokyo, Japan was an on campus guest of Cindy Baker during the week of March 9-13.

This trip to the United States is Emiko's last vacation before she starts working full time.· She chose the United States because she wanted to travel abroad. She had planned a tour around the U.S. with a friend but their plans fell through when .her parents would not let her travel alone.

· Miss Matsui first came to the United States in the summer of 1979 through Experime°-ts in International Living (EIR). During that summ.er she took a course in English Extension: through the University of California at Berkley. She then traveled to Nebraska where she· met many new .friends. Emiko then returned to the States on February 21, 1981 to revisit friends in Huntsville, Alabama , llS well as Mr. and Mrs. Larry

Cook and Mr. and Mrs. Randy Nuss of Shubert and Mr. and Mrs. Carl Baker of Nemaha. Emiko will be graduating from Keio University iri Tokyo receiving a Bachelors Degree in Art. Emiko said, "Peru State -College is like a big family where everyone knows everyone and students are very close compared to Keio." She also said, "Classes are very small and discussions are free and open for the students to participate, while at Keio they are not. The Keio students cannot speak freely unless they are a member of the group called the · 20th Century American Literature Group. The remainder participate in standard lecture classes." ·

When Emiko returns to Tokyo she will begin working at KDD, which is an overseas telephone and telegraph company. She feels very fortunate in finding this job. Emiko said, "In Japan people must graduate from a

respectable University in order to get a goOd job, whereas in America you do not always need this education." When you ·are interviewed for a job in Japan the most important factor to be considered is educational background not personality.

Emiko's father sells parts in Tokyo for the Mitsubushi cars, which are very popular in Japan and America, her mother is a typical Japanese housewife, while her brother is · an electronic engineer in Hirosh· ima.

Miss Matsui's parents are considered a very strict social family in Tokyo. Emiko said, "Too much pressure is put on Japanese cbildren by their parents at a very young age, which is a big social problem in Japan." As a result many High School students are committing suicides. She also said that she feels education is important but is overemphasized and changes need to be made.

Brochures for the Peru State College Speakers Bureau, organized i11 1978, are again available from the Office of College Relations at PSC, according to Mrs. Pat Larsen, director.

Over 650 area organizations and schools. have already received the brochures, which outline topics and speakers registered with the bureau, Larsen said.

Thirty-eight Peru State administrators and faculty have volunteered their services as speakers for this year's bureau, she said.

Subjects offered through the bureau cover the areas of education, athletics, business and .consumer information, music, careers, geology, recreation and hobbies, law _and politics, special education and health.

Approximately 90 topics are included- in the brochure, ranging from "Soggy Cornflakes, the FDA and You" to "Comic Strips: Art, .Literature or Trash?" In addition, the bureau offers performances by student groups in drama, mstrumental and vocal music and puppet theatre for children.

For copies of the brochure or for more information, contact Larsen at the Office of College Relations, Peru State College, Peru, Neb. 68421, telephone (402) 872-3815, ext. 225.

You can get a piece of land any size up to 40 ft. x 60 ft. You are required to get your own garden tools and to take care of the garden. Persons interested can sign up at Mr. Eaton's office until April 16. Soon after this date the ground will be prepared for gardening.

'Liars' Airs On PBS

The intimate, impish, legendary forty-year correspondence between master playwright George Bernard Shaw and celebrated British actress Mrs. Patrick Campbell is brought to television in a two-act dramatic play, "Dear Liar," airing on HALL OF FAME, Wednesday, April 15, at 7 p.m. on the Nebraska Educational Television Network.

A beautiful, wayward and powerful actress, Mrs. Campbell possessed an acid wit and a biting tongue that matched Shaw's. She was fascinated by the brilliant C:lramatist and set out to captivate him. As a theater critic, as well as a playwright, Shaw showered the actress with praise, poetry and •pedantry, but their romance never went further than correspondence.

Shaw wrote the part of Eliza in "Pygmalion" specifically for Mrs. Campbell and the produc- tion was a triumph for them both.

Edward Herrmann-'-who appeared in Mark Twain's "The Private History of a Campaign That Failed"-and Jeanne Alexander star in the two-character performance.

New Escape Next Week

by Cheryl White

The new fire escape on the Science Building will be completed late next week according to Bill Reeves, superintendent of the physical plant.

"The old -fire escape was constructed of wood and it was rotting down and getting very dangerous," said Reeves. There were even signs on the old escape prohibiting use except for emergency use.

Proceedings for the new fire -escape were started approximately 1 year ago. The actual construction was started 3 weeks ago and is being done by C & R Engineering of Omaha. The architectural planning was done by Leo Daley of Omaha. The material l>eing used in the new fire escape is steel. The new escape meets all fire and safety codes, according to Reeves.

Mehus Expects Good Year Sterling, Nodaway-Holt Take Honors

Coach Maxine Mebus will take virtually a "new" team into her second softball season at Peru State. The Lady 'Cats opened on March 26 against Concordia at home.

Mebus guided the 1980 squad to second place in the state and an appearance in the AIA W Regionals. The team got off to an <Hi start before finishing strong with a final 14-17 record. However, Mebus returns only two letterwinners and another squad member from that outfit.

Leading the way will be marathon pitcher Rhonda Wright, senior from Oakland, Iowa, Wright sported a 12-14 record last year and pitched nearly 170 of a possible 199 innings.

Also returning is outfielder and backup pitcher Fran Calanni, junior from Jamestown, N.Y., who was the number two batter on the squad with an average of .263. Calanni had a 1-1 pitching mark. The other returning squad member is backup infielder Jackie Nixon, junior from La Vista.

"We'll be young and ienced, but the ball players have a good attitude," Mebus said. "We have better depth at the pitching spot and excellent team speed, but we'll be the base hitters rather than going after the long ball offensively."

Though it will definitely be a rebuilding year, Mebus said the key to success 'will be how the team starts out. "I guarantee we won't go 0-6 to start the year," she said.

Mel\us said the squad will play a lot of people. at different positions early in the year. "We lost a lot of veterans," she noted, including the entire infield except for Wright at pitcher. The biggest holes to fill will be those

created by the graduation of Leda Peterson and Whip Wilson, who own virtually all PSC batting records.

The Lady 'Cats face a lot of tough competition in 1981. In addition to strong regular-season opponents like Wayne State, Kearney State, and the College of St. Mary, Peru participated in an inv.:itational at Kearney State held early this month against schools such as Oklahoma Baptist, Ft. Hays Kansas, and North Dakota State. Peru State hosts their own invitational on April 10-11, facing competition such as Dakota State College (S.DJ, Mayville State (N.D.), Chadron State and Southeast Community College.

Other squad members include senior Joni Vrtiska, infielderoutfielder from Beatrice; sophomore Jeannette Gauchat, pitcher-infielder from Brock; and freshman Deanna Allen, infielder from Lakeview, N.Y., Nancy Buhrmann, infielder from Martell, Becky Gauchat, infielder from Brock, Carol Latham, infielder-outfielder from Columbus, Deb Long, pitcher-infielder from Columbus, Janet Melvin, outfielder from Stanley, and Pam Ottemann, infielder-outfielder from Johnson.

Peru State's Lady Bobcats got the 1981 softball season off to a good start with a pair of wins over Concordia College on March 26, but dropped games to Tarkio and Wayne State on ·March 28.

The young softball team, missing a pair of injured starters, suffered a pair of tough losses to Nebraska Wesleyan in Lincoln on March 31. NWU took 12-2 and victories in a pair of five inning contests.

Sterling High School won men's competition and the Sterling women placed third to give the school the overall team championship in the Peru State Invitational indoor track meet, Class D competition, at Peru State on April 1. Team runner-up was Elmwood, which took second in the men and fourth in the women. Dawson-Verdon won the women's competition, followed by Nebraska City Lourdes.

Behrends and Stephens were the only iildividual multiple winners on the day.

The Nodaway-Holt (Mo.)

men's track club used strong performances in the middle distance and relay events and got a little help from their women's team to emerge as the Class C team champion at the Peru State Invitational high school track meet on April 2. A small but mighty Pawnee City women's club dominated the middle distance events and the relays to earn the women's title.

It was a battle between schools from the "Show Me" state for the men's title, as Nodaway-Holt edged Mound City by a half a point (55 to 541h). Pawnee City breezed to an easy 44-33 advantage over runner-up Omaha Cathedral in the women's portion, despite the fact that the entire Pawnee City squad included only eight girls. Mary Spitser, standout runner from Pawnee City, was named the "Outstanding Women's Athlete" for her victories in the 800 and 400 meter runs and her participation on a winning relay team. Jay Bohlken, fine distance runner for Southeast Consolidated; earned the men's award for his wins in the 1500 and 3200 meter races.

About 165 alumni of Peru State College received invitations to coffee and dessert at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ralf Graham, 446 Edgerton, Manhattan, Kan. Peru State golf Coach Dr. Erv Pitts promised an improved squad this year, and his team delivered as the Bobcats won a triangular at Seward on April 1 to open the 1981 season.

PSC. Golfers Win Opener

Pitts was pleased with the performance and promises "We're going to get better."

Peru State totalled 421 points to 424 for host Concordia College and 443 for Southeast Community College-Milford.

Knaak shot a 76 for the Bobcats.

Charlie Doeden, Nebraska City

Senate President Chris Walsh, Vice President Verdell Bohling, Corresponding Secretary Jim Anderson and Senators·Naomi Rusch and Scott Schmidt joined ten students from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln to represent Nebraska at the conference, which concluded with participants lobbying their states' congressional delegations on Capitol Hill for a lessening of the cuts prop<>Sed for higher education by President Ronald Reagan's fiscal year 1982 budget.

For ·the first three days, said Jim Anderson, participants in the conference focussed on understanding the issues which are confronting students at

America's colleges and unil'el'· sities today, fronnhe luithm tu credit, affirmitive actimt. in testing and the mbnttnimmn wage to military tion and the humu a amendment. WorbkoDis 1l'8e held to study each issuemdep81 and their possible effeem m students.

Lobbying strategy sesaou were then held, said during which students tips on how to lobby .in Congress effectively.

On April 13 and 14, studems, organized into,state delegations, went to Capitol Hill to try and sway the opinions of their respective Congressional delegations.

Due to the disparity of opinions in the Nebraska student delegation on issues other than education and in an effort to present a united front, said: Chris Walsh, students from Nebraska decided to concentrate their

Shakespeare Epic Airs

"Antony and Cleopatra," William Shakespeare's epic tragedy of love and empire, aired Monday, April 20, at 8 p.m. over all stations of the Nebraska Educational Television Network. The Shakespearean classic will be repeated Sunday, April 26, at 10 p.m.

Colin Blakely and Jane Lapotaire star in the title roles as the ill-fated lovers in this opulent and visually innovative prQduction, the third presentation of THE SHAKESPEARE PLAYS to air this season.

Directed by Dr Jonathan Miller, host of THE SHAKESPEARE PLAYS, the costumes and set designs for "Antony and are modeled on pamtings by artists who were contemporaries of Shakespeare-.:.most notably, the Italian painter Veronese. Instead of the togas, sandals and Egyptian headdresses public television audiences

might expect, there will be costumes representing a sumptuous jumble of periods-a "hodgepodge" of Elizabethan and ancient costume. "What we are tryinng to do," Miller says, "is present the worlds of Rome and Egypt as Shakespeare might have seen them in his mind's eye when he wrote the play."

The three-hour production also debunks another myth: that it was Cleopatra's amorous skill which attracted Antony to her. "The fact of the matter," continues Miller, "is that Cleopatra was, quite. simply, the most interesting woman of her time, and this was what fascinated Antony."

The production also stars Emrys James as Antony's lieutenant, Enobarbus, and Ian Charleson as the icy Octavius Caesar, whose thirst for· power brings the lovers' world to ruins.

"Sleuth" Attended By Over 200

Peru State College's April 9-12. production of "Sleuth" was attended by approximately 220 people, according to Director Charles Harper, assistant essor of speech and drama at the college.

·The two-act thriller, starring Stella sophomore Richard Wood and Oxnard, Calif., junior Mark McFadden, "went beautifully,"

Harper said. "I think the audience enjoyed it very much," he said, "and I received nothing but positive comments on the acting and on Dr. Royal Eckert's sets."

· Following the final performance of the show, Harper revealed his three "mystery" members of the cast-Inspector Doppler and the off-stage voices

of Police Constable- Higgs and Detective Sergeant Terrant were done by McFadden, he said.

Members of the "sleuth" production crew were John Bourn, Auburn freshman, stage manager; Jane Martin, Peru senior, props; and Karen Coover, Papillion sophomore, lights.

We have to try for the best deal we can get." Reagan's .proposed budget would mean cuts of fifty-six per cent from higher education funding.

Nebraska students also expressed concern over the subminimum wage issue for students but were told by a Hal Daub staff member that the issue was dead for this session of Congress.

The fact that Congress had gone on Easter Recess and that most Congressmen were in their home districts didn't affect the students' lobbying efforts very much. Said Anderson, "We spoke to fegislative aids, the people who do the research and help form the opinions of the Congressmen.

Asked how effective he felt the conference was, Chris Walsh said, "I feel the conference was an overall success. The students from Peru attended many meetings that were very informative and were exposed to a variety of ideas and positions held by students all over the country;" Walsh said he hopes to use what he learned at the conference to better represent the interests of the students of PSC and also the College as a whole.

It was the twelfth annual such conference held by the -United States Studen.t Association, a nationwide student lobby.

Dark Days Ahead for Students

by Jim Anderson

Beyond the fact that Congress now knows for sure how the students of this country feel about the proposed cuts in· higher education, it's hard to say what affect last weeks two days·. of lobbying will have on the way they vote. Probably not very much.

Students in this country are now in the unenviable position of fighting for a ten per cent cut in order to escape a fifty-six per cent cut. Maybe its just the mood but the feeling on Capitol Hill is that students will lose their fight.

Congresspeople are refusing to see the possible affects of what the proposed cuts will mean-a lot of students will not be able to attend colleges in this country. Eight hundred thousand students alone will be seriously affected when Social Security death benefits (the money sent to the surviving child for education from age eighteen through twenty-two) are completely cut. As a result, there will be more and more students competing for less and less grant and loan money.

It appears that the President doesn't feel that education is a right for all.

It is a mystery to me how a generation of people priced out of their educations will solve the problems Mr. Reagan is so concerned about any better than an educated one wi!L P.S. Some good news: BEOG applications began being processed April 6.

To continue providing services to more than 30 million veterans and their families, the Veterans Administration has requested a record high $24.9 billion for fiscal year 1982.
