Library Floor Vacated

The architectural firm of Leo. A. Daly, Omaha, has advised PSC officials to vacate two rooms of the third floor of the eollege library. According to President Larry Tangeman the college is complying.

The Daly firm had made an architectural check of a longexisting sag in the floors of these two rooms which were constructed as additions to.the library in 1911 and the bearing qualities of the floor were determined to be

NSSA to Peru

Students from Peru State College and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln recently formed a state student association after a small group of students began state-wide efforts.

The voluntary organization, Nebraska State Student Association, was formed by and for concerned students throughout the state who desire a voice in the quality of their educations and other issues affecting them.

Student fees of 50 cents a student per semester will be collected this fall at both PSC and UNL following the students' vote last spring and administrative approval on those campuses.

Chris Walsh, student body president at PSC said, "Higher •education is entering a critical ·time and the NSSA through the power of collective student action expects to fully participate in the decision-making processes wliich affect students and to promote equal access to low cost, high quality education in Nebraska."

Five other potential NSSA member campuses are Kearney, Wayne and Chadron State Colleges and the University's Omaha and Medical School campuses. They are expected to vote on NSSA membership during the 1981-1982 school year.

considerably below minimum requirements.

When representatives from the college met on campus with representatives from the 309 Commission, the board consultant, Gordon West, and the architectural firm, the decision was made to vacate the two rooms.

Tangeman said that most materials h<lve been moved frou-· i.J- and other materia1s are being moved to his

temporary quarters in the old gym which is next to the library. Plans are being developed to replace the floor joists at a time when services of the library will be least interrupted.

· "This d.eti::rmination comes at a time when the need for library expansidri has never been greater," Tangeman said. "The temporary loss of these two rooms places a strain on services of the library and plans for expansion of the library are under consideration, also."

New Student Programmer

Don Hosutt replaces Betsy Billiard as student programs coordinator at PSC.

Student Programming

When Don Hosutt, student programs coordinator at Peru State College, came to campus to begin his stint with PSC students, he brought a couple of athletes with him from Missouri.

"A couple of athletes I had coached at Windsor (Mo.) High School have enrolled here and both are out for football now,'' he said. The athletes are Mark Hopkins and Ken Lamar of Imperial, Mo.

Library Floor Closed to Students

Thethird floor of the library is closed due to a sag in the floor. Most of the materials have been moved to the old gym. ·

Peru State College and the Peru community received awards for the initiation of a bloodmobile in February 1981. The awards were presented during the Ainerican Red Cross Blood Services Midwest Region's annual conference, August 29, in Omaha.

The college received a Gold Frame Award for achieving more than 90 points in organizing the bloodmobile. The community of Peru was also instrumental in the planning, organization and carrying out of the bloodmobile, and received a chapter recognition certificate lrom Elnora Harris, Blood Services chairwoman, for Nemaha County.

The college was in a special recognition category of recogniton for colleges and universities.

The Midwest Region of the American Red Cross Blood Services serves 104 hospitals in a three-state area.

·Water is Trucked

Water is bro1,Jght by the tanker to help keep the pressure up.

Although Hosutt was officially signed on at PSC last semester, he didn't begin his duties here until the first summer orientation. The post was formerly held by' Betsy Billiard, who moved back to her home area of Kansas City during the spring semester Hosutt has had experience working with students in several areas. He was a mathematics teacher in the Windsor School District and assistant coach for varsity football and head coach

for varsity track. He also taught at Moberly (Mo.) High·School. Hosutt attended the U.S. Coast Guard Academy at New London, Conn., from 1969 to 1971 and Northeast Missouri State University at Kirksville from 1971 to 1973. He received teacher certification from the University of Missouri at St. Louis in 1976 and a master's degree in counseling and personnel services from the University of Missouri-Columbia in August, 1980.

"Everybody is friendly at Peru State and I'm impressed with the facilities, especially for a school this size," Hosutt said. "I'm anxious for the students to arrive for fall semester so we can get started with programming. I sent a survey out with the Peru Gram to see what students will be wanting in the way of programs for 1981 and 1982," he said.

Water Is No Problem

Essentially the problems which have effected the water supply at PSC since Aug. 23 have been solved, according to Dr. Harold Deselms, vice president for administration.

"Occasionally the pump at the new well kicks off in order not to overload the circuit, but the Omaha Public Power District has been contacted by the City of and a tl\ansformer will be installed shortly," Deselms said.

He said that some water mains leading to the standpipe had been partially closed for many years which magnified the problem of a lack of water pressure, but they have been reopened.

Near normal water service has been restored after 32 tankers with a 6,800-gallon capacity each, were contracted by the City of Peru with Nebraska Bulk Carriers at Bennet to haul water from the

Brownville Water District alleviated a near-crisis situ'ation Mayor G. M. Pryor said. '

"The new well that supplements the two older ones is now pumping 210 gallons a minute. The two wells had been pumping 155 gallons a minute," he said. ''.The standpipe can be kept filled now and the quality of water is better and. will improve as pressure improves," Pryor said.

As students arrived on campus for fall semester, they experienced a situation that called for the PSC maintenance crew turning off pressure flush valves on a rotating basis in dormitory toilets in order that water would not run continuously and endanger the pressure level. Deselms .said there was never any danger of polluted water as the State Department of Health monitored the supply and quality of water.

Letters to the Editors

Dear Editor:

In the past several weeks, I have .been contacted by several students who are either engaged in their collegiate careers or who are in the process of making plans to attend college in the near future. They are concerned about changes that Congress has made in student aid programs.

There are three major aspects of student aid that were altered by the Congress and all three are critical for many college students as they attempt to wrestle with the high costs of their education.

One is the Guaranteed Student Loan Program <GSL). Previously, GSL loans were available at nine per cent interest to any student in an amount not to exceed the cost of attending school for one year.

Now, the law applies a needs test for students whose parents earn $30iOOO a year or more, effective October 1 of this year.

Dear Students, Saturday, August 29, in Omaha, the Peru community and Peru State College received awards for "outstanding cooperation with the Red Cross in the planning, organization,. and carrying out" of our February 18, 1981 Bloodmobile, Peru's first (in recent history!)

P.E.P. <People Enthusiastic about Peru) is greatly indebted to each and every organization, business.and individual involved with the February bloodmobile. Thank you again for your blood

Students whose families have incomes below this level may borrow up to $2,500 a year. The definition· of need will be determined by the Department of Education. The legislation provides for a minimum loan of $1,000 except for those students whose needs fall below $500 who can borrow only what they

In addition to the limitations, an origination fee of five per cent is charged against the value of the loan to help reduce federal costs incurred in paying the in-school interest subsidy. The interest rate on loans to parentS will rise to 14 per cent from _the current nine per cent, but fall to 12 per cent if interest on Treasury bills is below 14 per cent.

The second aspect of student aid altered by Congress is the National Direct Student Loan Program <NDSL) for students. The budget provides

donations, contributions, participation, and support. The awards will soon be on display at the college <Gold Frame Award) and at City Hall <Heart of the Town Award).

Next year's bloodmobile date has been changed to March 10, 1982. Please .mark your calendars. We need more individuals to make up our organizing committee. Please volunteer!

Sincerely,

Barbara Shupe Local Blood Services Committee Chairman, American Red Cross

What's Happening?

Peditorial

$286 million to finance the revolving loans. Interest rates. on NDSL loans_ processed after October 1 will increase from four per-cent to five per cent.

The third area affected by this year's legislation is the grant program, Basic Educational Opportunity Grants <BEOG). Congress authorized $2.65 billion for 1982 and a H2use of Representatives proposal to limit grants to $1,800 was deleted in conference committee.

Students who anticipate the need to apply for any or all of these programs should consult the financial aids office of the college they are attending or the college they plan to attend in the future. I hope this information proves us.eful as students develop their financial plans for attending school.

Best

wishes,

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR EDITOR

It's that time-of year again and I would like to welcome1 back all of the returning students to PSC. A welcome! goes out to all of the freshmen and I hope you like it here.

This is my first time at editing the paper and I hope you will. forgive me for any mistakes I make while learning the ropes of editing and producing a paper. - 1

Tho·ugh our staff is a little on the young side this year;: many of them have had plenty of experience in the field of1 journalism and they are a very promising group to world with. ·

I would think that the school enrollment Is up with all of the new faces on campus.

One thing I'm sure most of you have either read or heard about Is the 1981 Bobcat football team. The season has jusf started and they're 2-0 already. Alvin Holder has started out good also. He has so far averaged 199 yards per game and The Omaha World Herald has Holder as the number one rusher In the nation in NAIA .schools.

The library will pose some problems for a few students. With the sag in the floor the materials on the third floor had to· be moved to another place and some people may not be able} to find what they are looking for. Most of the material has': been moved to the first floor and some has been moved to the 1 locker rooms in the old gym. If you need something and can't find It just ask at the desk. ·

The drama department Is selling season tickets and If you are planning to see the plays this year I would recommend that you buy one and save money in the process.

That's about It, so have a nice weekend

Open House for Center

The newly organized Peer Advising <:enter will hold open house October 7, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., in the Education Building, ·Room 315.

The Peer Advising Center was initiated by Janet Lathrop as part of an orientation project. According to Lathrop the goals are to help students adjust to Peru State College.

"The program is not just for new students, but for sophomores, juniors and seniors as well," she said.

The Center offers an Orientation 101 course available to freshmen this year.

The purpose of the program is to make a student's years at Peru State as exciting and rewarding as possible, according to a leaflet designed by Lathrop.

There are nine J>eer advisors, volunteers who have received training in counseling. They helped with freshmen orientation this year and also organized

a workshop · last summer for incoming students who had dropped out of college or had not attended college for time.

The nine student volunteers are Lori Vrtiska, Mary-Jo Gadeken, Margo Tucker, Marilyn Reeder, Julie Beatty, Brett Nanninga, Gwynne Conley, Shirley Rothell· and Steven Saathoff.

Part of the Peer Advising Center is called "In Case You Were Wondering," a public information delivery system for the Peru State College community. It includes listening to tapes on various issues of agriculture, health, welfare and other topics. The tapes are available in Ed. 315 for anyone who is interested.

According to Lathrop, the goal of the open house is to "let students know where we are and what we are all about." Refreshments will be served and there will be a raffle for various prizes.

Spikers Attempt Encore

A senior-less Peru State College volleyball team will attempt to better their 1980 record of 23-10-4.

Four letterwinners return for the Lady Bobcats: juniors

up the slack left by the loss of several 1980 regulars. "We have some excellent freshmen," said Mebus, whose two-year record at PSC is 36-19-4. Lady- 'Cat watchers should especially look for Sondra Stanley of Stella, Virginia Schweitzer of Elmwood, Barb PeterSon of Omaha Cathedral and Rhonda Buethe of Plattsmouth to vie for starting positions, according to Mehus.

IM Say 'Play Ball'

Intramural softball

Sept. 14 with two games played, according to Dr. Tom Fitzgerald, directo.r of intramural sports at PSC.

The program consists of four teams in men's and the same number ,of squads in the co-ed league. ""Men's teams and coaches are HDO's, Dave Uldrich; BYE's, Dave Kettlehake; FYWDWWW, Jeff Gerdes and Styx, Tom Irwin. Co-ed teams include HDO-ettes, Mark Tillman; Freeloaders, M.S. Frederick; Hand-Me-Downs, Phil Yoesel and Mac Attack, Mark Watton.

Regular softball rules are to be in effect with the following exceptions: No gloves will be used; there is a one hour time limit (or five innings, whichever comes first) ; a seven run rule after three innings will be enforced.

Bo.beat Cheerleaders Give Team Support

Peru State College has a group of six spirited young women to lead cheers for the Bobcat football team.

This year's squad has a distinct Omaha connection. Five of the six young women hail from ih or around Nebraska's largest city.

senior on the Bobcat yell squad. Rita majors in business administration and is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel S. Adams.· She is one of two returning cheerleaders.

Junior Kaye Kiepert is the other returning che.erleader.

Also different is the fact that no steel or rubber cleats are allowed and a 16-inch "Clincher" softball will be used:"'The men's roster will be limited to 12 players and the other'league will have a 14 person limit.

Intramural assistant directors who have done most of the planning for this new fall sport are Dave Uldrich, Mark Tillman and Jeff Smith. The season will run through Oct. 8 and shortly after that date, IM volleyball is scheduled to begin.

Fitzgerald said football will probably be offered in the spring instead of this fall because of the increase in the number of persons who have shown an interest in competing in softball.

The director · of intramurals concluded by saying interest in his department looks good and he looks forward to a really good season at the college;

Lois, a business administration major, is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. David Fisher of Peru and a 1979 graduate of Mount Pleasant High School in Mount Pleasant, Mich.

New Coaches Arrive

The men's and women's basketball squads at PSC hope to improve upon last season. And, with the arrival of two energetic coaches, improvement is probable.

Men's coach John Gibbs and his female counterpart, Kathy O'Connor, bring impressive credentials to the Campus of a Thousand Oaks in their quest to snap Bobcat and Lady Bobcat basketball teams out of the doldrums.

Gibbs led two Missouri high school basketball teams to state tournament berths during a ten-year span. In 1971, his Stewartsville High School team reached the state tournament for the first time in the school's history and more recently had taken the Kirksville High School cagers to their first tourney berth in 25 years.

O'Connor has a similar strong background in coaching. The Creighton grad took over the North Carolina-Greensboro team after the head coach resigned and drove the squad to a tenth-place ranking in NCAA Division Three during the'l979-80 season. Both teams begin their respective seasons with NAIA tournaments on Nov. 18 for the men and Nov. 19 for the women.

Polls Show Bobcats Seventh in the Nation

The Peru State College football team is tied for seyenth place in , the· National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Division Two preseason coaches' poll. Both Peru State and Anderson Clnd.) College p<llled 214 points in the poll.

This year's pre-season ranking equals the highest 1980 regularseason ranking. The Bobcats were ranked seventh for a time in October prior to their 22-21 loss to Chadron State. Head Coach Jerry Joy's gridders placed tenth in the final NAIA Division Two rankings with an outstanding 9-1 record, including

victories over ranked Midland Lutheran and Kansas Wesleyan. The 'Cats retm:.n thirty-seven lettermen, including defending rushing champion Alvin Holder, cornerbacks Curtis Pruitt and Terrell Williams, monster back Garland Shafer, quarterback Mike Haney and guards Marty Haverty and Al Urwin.

"I'm happy to be ranked seventh in the nation," said Joy. The seventh-year head Bobcat mentor cautions against complacency, however. "Our preseason ranking doesn't me'\n anything," he said. "I am concerned with either staying there or moving up."

Harriers Are Improving

Despite being unable to field full teams in either male or female divisions, the Peru State College cross:.country squad has been showing steady improvement all season.

At the Midland Invitational in Fremont, Saturday, Sept. 12, Coach Dennis Obermeyer's runners · made a creditable showing on a tough, hot course.

Stella sophomore Don Anderson led the male contingent of Bobcats with a time of 31:49 for five miles, good for 31st place on the uneven terrain. Anderson was closely followed by Falls City freshman Don Strecker, who placed 34th with a time of 32:27.

South Sioux City junior Mike Northrup and Elmwood freshman Leroy Behrends rounded out the Bobcat placing with respective times of 36:27 and

37:42 for their 45th and 46th place finishes.

For the Lady Cats, Silver Creek freshman Shari Paczosa finished her race with a time of 22: 42 for three .tough miles and a 20th place finish. Paczosa was followed by Falls City 'sophomore Kathy Snider, running her first cross-country race, with a time of 26:49 and Syracuse senior Verissa Ruenholl with a time of 29:02.

The runners compete in the Applejack 10,000 meter road run Saturday. The race will be scored as a dual meet with Tarkio, though there will probably be several hundred other racers. The race starts and finishes at Arbor Lodge State Park in Nebraska City near the West Second Avenue entrance, and loops through much of the community.

Doane Suffers Loss

Warriors. ·

Defense Defeats Midland

The Peru State Bobcat defensive unit stopped Midland Lutheran's Warriors deep in PSC territory late in the game to preserve a 17-12 victory.

The warriors drove down to the Bobcat four-yard-line before the defense stiffened. Peru's Wally Dalrymple and Anthony Roberts thwarted Midland's last chance with a quarterback sack at the one minute mark.

Senior .running back Alvin Holder continued his quest for a second straight NAIA rushing crown with 233 yards on 35 carries, including a 72 yard run late in the game.

"This game just shows that our football team has a lot of heart and determination," said an extremely pleased Jerry Joy. The Bobcat head coach added that "our defense showed good composure throughout the game and our offense moved the ball when it had to."

The ball carrying skill of sophomore Tony Riley was a major factor in the Bobcat victory. The Lincoln ran

for 71 yards in 14 trips to the line to alleviate some of the pressure on Holder.

Midland's tough wishboneoffense controlled play for most of the first quarter, yet the Bobcat defenders stiffened in crucial situations to keep the Warriors scoreless. With less than three minutes remaining in the initial period and the ball near the midfield stripe, Holder and Riley began alternating carries, as the 'Cats penetrated inside the Midland 10 yard line.

After a pass interference call put the ball on the one, Holder slammed over for the score with 14:51 remaining in the half for his third touchdown of the season. Jeff Frields kicked the extra point for a 7-0 PSC lead.

With the score 7-6 in favor of tqe 'Cats, sophomore defensive back Neil Wolfe nailed shut another Midland rally by intercepting a pass in the end zone to end the first half.

The Bobcats took the ball 74 yards in ten plays to open the

second half. Haney snucl5 over from the one with 10: 25 left in the third period. Frields' kick made the score 14-6. Frields' 25 yard field goal with 13:02 remaining in the game made the score 17-12. Both teams threatened during the final period, yet there was no more scoring.

At the two-minute mark, Midland had first-and-goal on the Peru four. Freshman defensive back Larry. Benton knocked down a key pass attempt before Dalrymple and Roberts chased the Midland signal-caller to about the to effectively end Midland's chances of winn ng.

The 'Cats travel to Nebraska City for the annual Applejack Bowl ·game with the Tarkio Owls, Saturday, Sept. 19, at 7:30 p.m., before hosting Concordia for their first home game on Sept. 26.

The Peru State College football team shellacked the Doane College Tigers, 34-0 at Crete.

Defending NAIA rushing champ Alvin Holder showed the hosts his moves for much of the evening as he rush.ed for 165 yards on 28 carries. The Floridian rushed for one touchdown and caught a crucial screen pass on fourth down for another.

The Bobcats clearly dominated the game during the second and third periods, scoring 21 points in the second and 13 in the third. Jerry Joy's gridders rolled up 409 yards in total

offense while holding Doane to 56 yards on the night. Finally, the Bobcat defensive line of ends Anthony Roberts and Mark Wardian, tackles Perry Scott and Dean Filipi and noseguard Darrell Baker, continually harassed Doane quarterback Tom Valin. Valin completed but 3 of 15 passes for an anemic 22 yards due to the collective efforts of the Bobcat defense, including defensive backs Curtis Pruitt, Terrell Williams, Neil Wolfe and Garland Shafer. Valin was also dumped for 38 ya:i:ds in losses, most notably by Roberts and Scott.

Volleyballers Take Fourth In Area Tournament,

The Peru State volieyball team battled other area teams to place fourth in a round-robin tourriament at Nebraska''Wesleyah University in Lincoln Saturday, Sept. 12.

Lady 'Cat. coach Maxine Mebus cited improvement in the play of her squad. "We played much more relaxed Saturday than earlier in the week," said

the third-year mentor. "We competed well with any team in the tournament."

Junior tri-captains Diana Stanley, Ronda. Schroeder and Robin Smith earned particular praise from Mebus for their play in the tourney. "Our captains showed Saturday why they are the team leaders, both on and off the court," Mebus said. The three lead the team in cumulative.scoring. In addition, Schroeder leads the team in spikes with 26, Smith leads in serve points with 37, and Stanley battled an ankle injury to contribute during the afternoon portion of the tournament.

Several of the younger spikers also shined at NWU. Table Rock sophomore Glevon Covault filled in for Stanley as a setter and earned enough block points to retain her· team-leading total. Plattsmouth freshman Rhonda Buethe "had an excellent tourney," according to Mebus. Buethe is fourth in cumulative scoring with a 3. 7 point per game average, and is among the team leaders in both serve and spike points.

Murray freshman Nadine Konfrst chipped in with fine defensive play throughout the day. "Nadine does a lot of things you don't find in the statistics," said Mehus. "She saves a lot of points for us }Vith her hustle."

The host school won the tournament, followed by Morningside, Tarkio, PSC, Platte and Dordt. Only a few points separated the Lady 'Cats from third place, as Tarkio beat PSC 15-10 and 15-11.

New Placement Service Makes Search Easier

Concerned about finding a job after graduation? Now there's a new campus service that can put your resume in the hands of over 10,000 employers both here and abroad.

Career Placement Registry is the new service's name and it is being introduced this semester on over 1,200 college and university campuses across the country.

CAREER PLACEMENT REGISTRY gives students the opportunity to record their personal and .academic credentials in an international directaccess database. Potential employers are able to search the on-line system for any or all of the following prospective employee criteria: college, degree, major-minor, grades, occupational and geographical preference, citizenship status, relevant experience, language proficiency, and special s_kills.

The data students enter into the CPR system is searchable via the Dialog Information Service. Over 10,000 companies in 44 ·countries currently use Dialog for information retrieval. CPR enables these employers to match the best qualified candidate to any job opening.

Liberal Arts graduates, for example, may easily be screened by personnel directors for trainee programs through the use of the system.

For a fee of $8.00, students may enter the CPR data base for a period of six months. All data entered into the computer will be returned to the student for verification.

Later this year, CPR will be expanded to include college alumni and executives who are or have been in the work force. This will allow all individuals to enter their college credentials, work experience, and desires for employment. It will further enable present students to continue and up-date their CPR entry after graduation for as long as they desire.

Initial response to CPR from students, college placement officers, and corporate recruiters around the country has been extremely favorable.

To obtain a CPR data entry form, stop by the campus job placement center or write directly to Career Placement Registry, Inc., 302 Swann Avenue, Alexandria, Virginia 22301.

A poem that Stratton has written has been accepted for publication in the "Kansas Quarterly" which is published by the English, Department of Kansas State University-Manhattan. Because of a backlog, it will come out in about 1amonths, he said.

The Youthgrants Program of the National Endowment for the Humanities is alive and well and will once again offer a limited number of awards to young people in their teens and twenties to pursue non-credit, out-of-the-classroom research projects in the humanities. The deadline for receipt of completed application forms is November 16, and funded projects begin the following May.

Up to 75 grants will be awarded, offering as much as $2,500 for individuals, and a few group grants up to $10,000. Youthgrants are intended primarily for those fietween 18 and 25 who have not yet completed academic or professional training but can demonstrate the ability to design and perform outstanding humanities research and translate that into an end product to share with others. The humanities include such subjects as history, comparative religion, ethnic studies, folklore, anthropology, linguistics, the history of art, and philosophy.

The program does not offer scholarships, tuition aid, or support for degree-related work, internships, or foreign travel projects.

Harper said the play revolves around a church-run old folks' home in a poor parish. Until a tramp finds a birth certificate that says he is 77 years ·old in a trash can, (although he is only 44) the residents .of the retirement home appear to be "just waiting to pass on."

The mystery resident brings new life and a new challenge to the group and rejuvenates the home. He shows the residents there is something else in life to do, with a romance blossoming and other exciting activities.

The cast for the play includes: Gary Dixon, APO, N.Y.; Pam Thompson, Tecumseh; Gwynne Conley, Omaha; Karen Gerking, Brock; Todd Verhoff, Hickman; Jane Martin, Peru; Linda Shepard, Lincoln; David Osegueda, Castro Valley, Calif.; Gene LeVasseur, Omaha; Dave Gray, Peru; John Bourn, Lincoln; Chris Walsh, Gretna; Pamela Wertz, Nemaha; Deb Jones, Harlan, Iowa, and Mike Paulson, Lincoln.

Letter to Editors

Dear Editor: I would like to inform the student body here at Peru of a terrible disease that seems to have spread and plagued almost the whole campus. It is called the "whyshouldistickmyheadoutwhenitwon 'tdoanygood" syndrome.

There are a number of symptoms that are easily recognized in a person when this disease controls them.

(1) The patient will swallow anything that he-she is told by the hierarchy at the college, even though he-she would not normally swallow this at any other time.

(2) The patient gets a brown splotch on his-her nose that has a degrading odor (this odor is most easily recognized when. passing cattle feed.lots).

(3) The patient will sit. sublimely and watch as they and their fellow students are treated like children, with no responsibility given to them to decide on ·the question of them missing one or one hundred classes without their grade being docked, a sad face put on their report card, and a note sent home to mommy telling her that her · son-<faughter has been a naughty, naughty boy-girl.

(4) The patient will fail to understand the massive amounts of.trust and respect put in them and their integrity when they must show a certified note from the nurse, from mommy, from their parish priest-pastor, and from their Great-GreatAunt's hairdresser's husband to have a miss from class due. to sickness considered as "excused."

(5) The patient gets a hoarse voice from complaining to his-her roommate and friends about terrible things they encounter every day. <Note: Notice, this is complaining to friends-not to someone whose job it is to listen to these problems and them. Speaking to the proper people is considered RADICAL, and OUT OF LINE.)

(6) The patient drinks mass quantities of alcohol to drown their sorrows and forget about the courage they had to swallow. ful relationship on "Board and Care."

"The Hunter and the Hunted" is an exciting documentary focusing on the continuing search for Nazi war criminals, airing Wednesday, October 21, at 8 p.m. Narrated by Jose Ferrer, the documentary includes discussions with Simon Wiesenthal, the most famous of the hunters.

In the last 35 years, the pnited States has sent billions of dollars of food aid abroad in the form of gifts and concessional sales, but now some critics say that the aid is at best useless and Possibly harmful. The pros and cons of

Every day I see students walking around campus in a daze with.the above symptoms. I hear them complain and yell and drink and wipe their nose and drink and complain and wipe their nose, (it doesn't come off-even with the 40 weight sandpaper we use in Delzell restrooms,) and complain more. However, that is the extent of their "actfon." They simply live(?) on with this terrible disease and seek no cure.

However, take heart ye who have been afflicted with this terrible disease. The famous guru-witch doctor Maharishi Spud IGAFF has come up with a cure. He calls his cure, ''Getupoffyourbuttandletthemknowhowyoufeel-icilin.

This cure involves the following ingredients:·

(1) Put down your bottle of alcohol (or your pipe) and start thinking clearly. (This ingredient is not ALL inclusive.)

(2) Stop bending over so much. Your back will feel better and that brown splotch on your nose will eventually go away.

(3) Raise your voice! Do something! Write a letter to the editor of the PED! Tell this author that he doesn't know his brain matter from the sediment in Peru water. Tell the author "he's right. Tell the author you don't care. Just say SOMETHING!

(4) If something is going on that you don't think is right, go to a figure of authority and discuss it with them. Ask them what they are going to DO about it. And even if they are not going to do anything about it, you can at least make them sweat a little bit. Don't get caught up in meaningless discussion or get sidetracked.

Now, I'm not advocating bombing any campus buildings or assassinating anyone, or burning your ID card, but stand up and be counted. Don't be stagnate.

If the students of this college can do these things I'm sure that we can wipe out this terrible disease that's ruining the lives of many of our students.

Sincerely, Chris Walsh this question will be explored in a Nebraska ETV Network-WGBH, Boston co-production, WORLD SPECIAL "Food Aid: What's In It for U.S.?" airing Wednesday, October 21, at 9 p.m.

A four-part special, WHO'S KEEPING SCORE?, debuts Saturday, October 24, at 5 p.m. This series.examines minimum competency testing <MCT) in U.S. schools. The programs look at the pros and cons of MCT-the tests which 38 states and several school districts now use to determine student's certification, classification and-or graduation.

The dual meet· was held in conjunction with the Applejack 10,000 meter run starting and finishing at Arbor Lodge State Park.

Sour Apples for Tarkio

The mighty Peru State Bobcat football team dominated Tarkio from start to finish, 64-0, in the 31st annual Applejack Bowl at Nebraska City.

Coach Jerry Joy's Bobcats ranked seventh in the latest National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) coaches' poll, spoiled the Owls' bid to win two straight for the first time in several years. Tarkio had beaten Culver-Stockton the previous week to snap a long losing streak.

Peru rolled up 608 yards total offense in only 72 plays, while Tarkio was limited to 70 yards in 61 plays. The 'Cats ran through the Owl defenders for 384 yards on the ground arid passed for a season-high 224 yards.

Senior running back Alvin Holder continued his march toward a possible national career rushing record with 23 carries for 215 yards and four touchdowns.

Holder received the Bob Lade Award for the game's outstanding player.

Holder now needs less than 1,000 yards to break the record set by Elon 's Bobby Hedrick last season. The stellar offensive line of center Dan King, co-captain guards Marty Haverty and AI. Urwin, and tackles Mitch Egger and Jerald Hill opened gaping holes through the persistent Owl defensive front to spring Holder on several long runs.

As usual, Holder was far from the entire show for Peru. Fullback Tony Riley crashed and banged for a career-high 129 yards on only 14 carries, more than doubling his combined output for the first two games, whlle sophomore split end Doug Barlow's four touchdown catches proved that he is indeed capable of creating the same quality of excitement the graduated All-American Roose-

velt Brown brought while a PSC record-breaker.

Barlow's 185 yards on nine catches more than doubled his yardage total for the first two weeks of the season. He was named winner for best offensive player due to his proficiency against Tarkio.

Senior noseguard Darrell Baker won the defensive player-of-game award for the second straight season.

Joy was. understandably pleased with the magnitude of Bobcat success in the game sponsored by the Nebraska City Chamber of Commerce in with Nebraska City AppleJack Day festivities. "I "".as very happy with the timing displayed by the offense," said the seventh-year Bobcat mentor. "We showed an extremely good defensive effort, especially considering the variety of formations that Tarkio threw at us."

"Tarkio's not as bad as the score indicated;" added Joy. "Everything just went right for us Saturday."

After a sluggish beginning the Bobcats fashioned a 63-yard drive midway through the first period featuring a Haney-toHolder pass for 30 yards on a big third down play. Barlow caught a 16-yard toss from Haney for the score with 5:57 remaining jn the period. Jeff Frields added the first of six straight extra points for a 7-0 lead.

A fumble recovery by senior monster back Garland Shafer and a 24 yard romp by Riley set up a second Haney-to-Barlow touchdown strike. Barlow appeared hemmed in by hungry Owls until he scampered down the sidelini: for 37-yard play with 3: 13 left m the first period. Frields' kick made the score 14-0.

The 'Cats exploded for 28

points in the second quarter on Holder's four yard run over right tackle, Barlow's use of aerial acrobatics to gain admittance to the end zone on a 57 yard pass from Haney, Holder's 23-yardromp, and the Floridian's electrifying 44-yard-slash to cap a 16-second drive. Frields added four extra points to · give the 'Cats a 42-0 halftime lead.

Tarkio began to stiffen in the third period, but alert play by senior defensive end Mark Wardian caused the Tarkio punter to down bad snap in the end zone· for a safety with 6:29 remaining in the third period.

Holder rounded out the third quarter scoring with another

four-yard run toward the end of the frame. However, the conversion attempt failed, leaving the score 50-0 going into the final quarter. By this time, Joy was clearing his bench, particularly on defense. Barlow hung around long enough to catch a fourth touchdown pass for 33 yards from sophomore quarterback Mark Sievers. Freshman Mark Kechley converted the point after for a 57-0 margin with just over 13 minutes left in the game.

Tarkio controlled the ball much of the fourth quarter but were unable to penetrate far enough for a score.

With 3:29 remaining, fresh-

man flanker Wilbert Lock capped a strong Bobcat effort by weaving through the Tarkio punt squad for 55 yards and PSC's final touchdown. Mike Govig kicked the extra point to close out the scoring.

Joy expects a rough game from the Concordia Bulldogs in the Bobcat home opener Saturday, Sept. 26. "I'm very impressed with Concordia's victory over Central of Iowa last week," said Joy. "We're going to have our work cut out for us."

The Peru State volleyball team defeated Bellevue College, 15-5, 15-1, 15-10 in a match highlighted by a relatively large number of aces scored by the Lady Bobcats.

Nineteen aces were scored by · Peru during the match, with nine of the unreturned serves coming in the first game. Leading scorer Ronda Schroe-

der, fellow tri..ccaptain Robin Smith and sophomore Carla Frauen all had four aces in the Lady Bobcat home opener.

The Bellevue Bruins threatened but once during the third game, as the reserve-dominated Lady 'Cat lineup suffered through a short dry spell. However, the second-teamers

finished the game by scoring a flurry of points,

Mehus is pleased with the progress of the spikers. "We're gradually working better as a unit,:' she said. "Most importan -tly at this stage of the season we're giving everybody lots of game experience."

Stella native Sondra Stanley, a 5'8" freshman on Peru State College's volleyball team, showed her prowess around the net in the PSC-Bellevue match, won by the Lady Bobcats 15-5, 15-1, 15-10.

Welcome Wagon Welcomes Peru

If you are a newcomer to the area, change your address, have a new baby or become engaged, you will probably get information about classes at Peru State College. ·

Recently Mrs. Mary Ruth Wilson, director of Continuing education at PSC, and Pat Larsen, director of college

relations, signed a contract with Mrs. Eileen Sundberg, Auburn, a Welcome Wagon International, Inc., representative, that will provide information ·about the area's college in Auburn by Mrs. Sundberg and in Nebraska City .bY Mrs. Marian Dickey.

College," Wilson said. Timely brochures throughout the year will be presented Welcome Wagon clients with a followup by postcard from PSC to each client. During the personal call by the Welcome Wagon representative, the client will receive a large notebook with contains PSC literature that will explain classes and activities.

Conway received a master's of science degree ip counseling Aug. 7, 1981, at Wayne State College and a bachelor of science degree May 6, 1979 from Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa. Her BS degree is in philosophy and religion with an emphasis on philosophy.

Originally from Emmetsburg, Iowa, Conway said she likes small college very much and she said that she feels that Peru State College is an "excellent opportunity" for her. She said the atmosphere is the same and the ,rules and regulations for students, as other colleges she has been associated with.

"I like the area alot; I like the trees and hills," Conway said. "I do a lot of running and it is nice to have the beautiful scenery while out running."

Conway feels that although Peru is in the southeast corner of Nebraska, Peru State College is not isolated as Lincoln and Omaha are about an hour away

Conway's residence life experience includes being residence hall director in a co-educational residence hall of 400 students at Wayne State College where she advised and counseled students. She selected, trained and supervised student staff members and advised residence hall governing boards.

She has been freshmen orientation director at Wayne State and researched and designed an orientation program, selected facilitators, solicited funds and managed a $7,000 budget. She was also the judicial board adviser.

Presently, the new residence director is living at Pate Hall in the Centennial Complex. "I enjoy being where the students are," she said.

Conway said that she finds there is a national trend in student residence life. "Students are moving back to campus residences after living in local apartments and rooms," she said. "They have found that living on campus is the cheapest and most convenient way to exist in college."

Media Center Moved

A proposal made by Peru State College concerning its Instructional Media Center's permanent location is awaiting approval from the Nebraska State Colleges Board of Trustees, according to the Center's director, Paul Kruse. The Board will meet October 8-9 in Peru.

On September 4 the Center was forced to move from the third floor of the library to the vacated boy's lockerroom in the old gymnasium. The reason for the move was due to too much stress on the beams and a sag in the floor in the library.

The proposal is to make the old gym the permanent location of the Media Center, a plan that Kruse doesn't mind.

"H- is a sound structure and

there is adequate space," he said. "Hopefully there will be no complications." ·

The Media eenter consists of audiovisual equipment designed to help PSC students and faculty. It includes closed-circuit television, films, filmstrips, and other non-book ma teriais.

Another proposal is to move the College Print Shop to the vacated girl's lockerroom in the old gym. This department that handles all of the college's printing is presently located in the Maintenance Building.

If the proposals are approved, Kruse feels that· the improvements "will make the college more attractive and complement the campus very well."

Mesa, a band out of Missouri, played for a small group of students last Sunday at a behind Neal Ballroom.

Peditorial

There are many things that promote and influence the college in the eyes of prospective students. One small aspect of the image we put forth as a good school that is not right can hurt rather than help the college in recruiting students.

One of these aspects that I have noticed as of lately are the Peru State College signs, north and south, on Highway 73-75. These signs are located one mile from the Highway 67 intersection and are in pretty poor shape.

Letter to the Editors

These signs look like they haven't been taken care of in years. I would think that the college would like to promote the best image possible and these signs are not really doing what they are supposed to do. The problem would be an easy one to fix. All they need is a nice new coat of paint.

If we take care of our image we will look better in the eyes of the public and hopefully there will be a better response by prospective students in looking at Peru State College.

Tangeman Talks to Senate

A motion approved to hear a report from College President Larry Tangeman initiated the fifth agenda meeting of the'Peru State College Student Senate, held Wednesday.

Tangeman gave a report on the possible expansion of the present library and requested that the Student Senate involve itself with recruitment to bolster enrollment.

After approvals of the minutes of last week's meeting and the present agenda, Senate President Chris Walsh then asked for reorts from the Senate standing

committees and the official college bodies. A subject called to attention was the further Senate Committee cuts student aid. The Senate Subcommittees plan to cut 557 million dollars in student aid. Walsh asked members of the Student Senate and their constituents to write their congressmen concerning these actions. · After further appointments to the Senate Standing Committees and college bodies, the meeting was motioned to adjourn and seconded.

At the time the Peru State Normal school was opened, October 24, 1867; there were about twenty such schools in the United States. There were only two west of the Missouri River. Before 1860, there were only eleven such schools in the United States.

Dear Ed:

In response to the childish prattle of Mister Walsh, I would venture to present the following remarks:

I: Mister Walsh has taken an unwarranted attack on the entire student body rather than individuals or groups. Unwarranted! Those of us pursujng a serious education, and myself in particular, are offended and deserve a retraction of his remarks.

2: Mister Walsh has implied that various members of the

Water Situation Shows Improvement

The water situation, which has affected PSC for almost a month, has been cleared up and can not really be considered a problem anymore, according to Bill Reeves, head of the maintenance department.

Reeves said that the water might be a little "riled up" for a· while during the flushing out period which the pipes will need in order to return to regular efficiency. He also said that the new transformer, which is being sent from the Omaha Public Power District, will decrease the amperage and allow the pump at the new well to run cooler. The solution brings to an end a month-old problem in which most students had to do without water for the balance of the month while others brought their own water from home.

Pres. Walsh Names Committees

Chris w·alsh, Gretna, Peru State College Student Senate president, has announced the student senate standing committee members and college body appointments for 1981-82. Those appointed to councils, committees and commissions are: College Council: Chris Walsh, Gretna, and Verdell Bohling, Omaha; Academic Affairs Commission: Karen Coover, Papillion; and Naomi .Ruesh, Brownville; Student Affairs Commission: Tony Nebelsick, Nebraska City; Chris Walsh, Gretna; and Elizabeth Holmes, Evanston, Ill. ; Library Committee: Scott Schmidt, Gretna; Admissions

student body curry the favors Qf. the administration and faculty. Undocumented generalization! I am once again highly offended to be generalized in this manner and demand retraction.

3: Mister Walsh has formed his presentation in a less than dignified manner, which indicates lack of maturity expected of one of his age. Additionally this attitude is unbecoming to a person holding high student

office. Maybe the students who elected Mister Walsh should take a second look at their choice of leadership.

In conclusion, the "Gentleman" has not accomplished unity of students, but has inserted another wedge within the student body. This action is inexcusable and requires immediate retraction, explanation and apology.

Sincerely, John D. Rusch.

Bobcats Suffer First Loss

Despite a fairly potent rushing attack led by running backs

Alvin Holder and Tony Riley, the Peru State Bobcats dropped their home opener to Concordia College, 20-9, Saturday.

Coach Jerry Joy's Bobcats outrushed the Bulldogs 187-87, yet several long plays spelled doom for PSC on a nearly perfect night for football.

Defending NAIA rushing champ Holder, who went into the game with a nation-leading 204.3 yard average per game, rushed for 126 yards on 39 carries and Riley made 15 trips to the line for 62 yards. And, quarterback Mike Haney rushed for 31 yards on only six carries.

The Bobcats opened the scoring when Holder capped a 38-yard-drive on a one-yard plunge with 9:20 remaining in the first period.

Concordia tied the score on a 13-yard run by tailback Fred Friedrichs on a fake field goal attempt with 5:13 left in the opening stanza. John Dumar

added the extra point to erase PSC's only lead of the evening.

A Jeff Frields field goal from 32 yards out wrapped up the Bobcat scoring with 3: 07 remaining in the third period. The 'Cats moved deep in Bulldog territory late in the game, but were· unable to capitalize on the opportunities.

The Bobcat secondary of seniors Terrell Williams, Curtis Pruitt and Garland Shafer, along with sophomore Neil Wolfe and freshman Larry Benton, was a factor in eight for 24 passing by Concordia QB Paul Reinisch, yet the senior signal-c caller connected twice with wide receiver Terrance Square for touchdown passes of 38 and 79 yards to seal PSC's fate.

Joy thought that the Bobcat's high ranking in last week's NAIA poll had a negative effect upon the team's intensity.

"We're just ·going to quit worrying about the poll and start concentrating on playing Peru State football," said the seventh-

year mentor.

"We were very intense Saturday," Joy added. "I think we were so intense about winning that we were not so intense about playing football."

Joy also praised the effort of Coach Larry Oetting's Concordia Bulldogs. "Concordia got sky high for us and they're very deserving of the win,")le said.

Joy summed the situation up by saying, "I just don't think that we execµted well on offense, defense or special teams." He added, "It's nobody's fault but my own-it was my game plan and I'll take the responsibility for the defeat."

The Bobcats can't sell Benedictine College of Kansas short next Saturday, according to Joy. "Benedictine beat Hastings pretty bad last week, and Hastings has been consistently ranked just below us." Game time is 7:30 at Benedictine's home field in Atchison, Kan., for the matchup between the 3-1 Bobcats and the Benedictine Ravens.

College Sl·D Wisconsin- Native • IS

Peru State College has a new Sports Information Director, he is Bill Grimes, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The 1981 graduate of the University of Marquette majored in History and Journalism.

As sports information director, most of his time is spent publishing varsity sportS, sending out releases, making rosters, schedules, and layouts. He also sets up travel arrangements for the stat crew as well as compiling stats and sending them tQ the National Ratings Committee.

In the spring, he will work on a spring sports guide, which will feature an inside on the Peru basketball teams. "Sure the hours are bad, but I lovE: to write and deal with sports, so I guess

you just get used to it," said Grimes.

At Marquette, he was a member of the cross· country team, four years, and the track team for tbree. He was a writer for the Marq!Jette Tribune, the school newspaper, for three years. He also served as a disc jockey and news correspondent for the Marquette radio station, and spent a little time with the campus TV station. His\ senior year, he was a correspondent for the Associated Press.

Grimes is a native of Gardengrove, California where he attended school until he was ten. His family moved to Urbana, Illinois where he finished school, before attending 1 Marquette.

This summer, he drove a taxi cab in Milwaukee and would

recommend it to anyone, "It is an enriching experience, and you get a chance to meet and • deal with all of people," Grimes said.

Other than writing, he enjoys running, and by next summer he hopes to be covering 70 miles a week. He presently runs with the Peru cross country team, but only as an unattached runner. He also enjoys reading, doing crossword puzzles, collecting stuffed animals, playing basketball, tennis, and lifting weights.

Someday, Grimes would like to go back to graduate school and get a diploma in either Library Science or History,· and possibly teach in the upper Midwest. He would also like to have a permanent sports information position or write for a newspaper.

Schweitzer Shows Spiking Form

It doesn't look like Peru State's Virginia Schweitzer is going to get the ball past the two straining Concordia players in last Saturday's match at the PSC HPER Center. The 5'9" freshman from Elmwood was able to slap the ball off to the side for a Lady Bobcat point, however. Schweitzer is the third-leading scorer for Coach Maxine Mehus' 4-8-4 Lady Bobcats with a 3.1 point per game average.

Lady 'Cats Earn Split; Beat Doane, Lose to NWN

The Peru State volleyball team has split its last two matches, beating Tarkio College 7-15, 15-7, 15-13, 12-15, 15-4 Thursday, Sept. 24 before losing to Concordia College 15-4, 15-8 Saturday.

Coach Maxine Mehus praised the entire squad for its effort during the Tarkio match. "We had a good balanced attack," she said. "Everyone played well and contributed their part to the victory."

Mehus indicated that the Lady 'Cats mixed up their offense against the Owls. "We threw a variety of offensive tactics at Tarkio, including off-speed spikes and dinks." The thirdyear coach added that her team "moved sets around well."

"We played with confidence

Grimes Confers With Coach Mehus Before Game

Sports Information Director Bill Grimes keeps up to date on statistics with the Lady Bobcat volleyball coach, Maxine Mehus. Grimes will produce a spring sports guide in the near future.·

Fitzgerald wants it noted that IM volleyball will begin soon and captains interested in organizing teams should keep an eye open for details to be posted around campus.

and looked well doing it," said Mebus in summarizing the Tarkio match.

Disaster befell the Lady 'Cats Friday when junior tri-captain '. and leading scorer Ronda Schroeder twisted an ankle in practice, thus rendering her : unable to play against Concordia. "Not having Ronda hurt," · said Mehus. "She's a real presence out there," she added. "We rely on her a lot and when she's not there we have trouble sometimes.''

Another factor in the Bobcat loss concerned the relative lack of reserve dep1h. While the Lady 'Cats won the reserve match, several Lady 'Cats had to play in both matches. In contrast, none of the Concordia reserves played in the varsity match.

Spikers Win One, lose One

The dynamic serving of junior co-captain Ronda Schroeder, tlie adept setting of freshman Virginia Schweitzer and a new offensive alignment devised by Coach Maxine Mebus helped the Peru State volleyball team gain a split in their triangular match with Northwest Missouri State and Doane at Crete.

'The Lady Bobcats w:ere edged by powerful Northwest Missouri 16-14, 15-12 before rebounding to defeat Doane 15-7, 8-15, 15-9.

Schroeder scored 12 of the 15 serve points 'against Doane in the first .game, including nine

aces. The Liberty native leads in serve points, blocks and spikes for a total scoring average of four points per game.

Schweitzer was inserted into the starting lineup as primarily a front-row setter and the Elmwood freshman responded with a team-leading 15 sets during both matches. She also ranks third in total scoring average with 3.1 points per game. "Virginia's got a real good set of hands," said Mehus. "She's also got good accuracy in helping us get set up for spikes." ·

Program sellers are needed for football games.

Anyone interested should contact Bill Grimes in AD 308.

PSC .. Parade Saturday

by Darrell Wellman

"Interest in the 1981 Peru State College Homecoming parade is gratifying," according to Paul Fell, parade director.

The theme for this year's celebration is "Bobcat Victory Circus" and the parade begins near the industrial arts parking lot at IO a.m.

Area marching bands entered include Peru State, Auburn (Jr. Sr. High), Southeast Consolidated, Humboldt (Jr; and Sr. High), Nebraska City Jr. High and Fairbury Jr. High.

According to Fell, Homecoming co-chairpersons are Pat Larsen and Harold Deselms. Their duties include making arrangements for most events dealing with this Saturday's activities.

Float judging will begin at 9 a.m. in the I.A. parking lot. All float entries should be there on time so the judging may begin promptly. Entries will be judged on appearance and how well the theme is used.

All entries, other than bands, are to line up in this parking lot

by their assigned numbers. The high school groups will be arranged behind the industrial arts building and the Student Center.

There were 11 floats entered in the parade, as of Oct. 5, and this number is up from last year. Fell said the increase seems to be a sign of more groups showing interest now than in the past.

Assisting Fell with the parade entrants will be Dwight Garman, Don Hosutt, Ken Steidle and members of Delta Sigma Phi fraternity.

First, second and third place trophies for floats and bands will be announced at halftime of the Peru State-Nebraska Weslevan football game, which begins at 2 p.m.

KAUB, the new radio station in Auburn, will cover the parade with Randy Gottula announcing. Fell added that radio coverage will be a nice plus to the festivities.

Marching bands are usually judged downtown in front C''. the Peru Bank and the parade ends shortly thereafter.

Local Men Start Colony Of National Fraternity

Delta Sigma Phi became the first national social fraternity on the Peru State campus at ceremonies Sept. 14. Those initiated were former members of Sigma Beta Chi, a Greek fraternity in operation since the fall of 1978.

Six members of the same fraternity at Northwest Missouri State University were on hand for the ceremonies, as well as Jim Mimms, a representative of national headquarters in Denver.

IM Deadline This Friday

The deadline for intramural volleyball entries is October 16, according to Dr. Thomas Fitzgerald, director of intramural activities.

He said that students who are not familiar with the entry procedure an<! wish to enter teams can get additional information at the intramural office in the old Gymnasium.

Student Loan Changes

On August 13, 1981, President Reagan signed into law the 1981 Omnibus Authorization Bill which included changes in the Guaranteed Student Loan Program.

One change went into effect on August 23, 1981, 10 days after signature. This change instituted a 5 per cent originatorsfee. This fee is deducted from the loan principal before the funds are disbursed to the student. This fee is in addition. to the 1 per cent annual deduction which is deducted as an insurance fee.

The second change which is effective on Oct. 1, 1981, institutes a $30,000 Income Cap or a Needs Test Provision. This provision provides tnat if the students family has less than $30,000 in adjusted gross income, that student is eligible to receive the Federal Interest Subsidy.

The Adjusted Gross Income figure is that figure which appears on the families Internal Revenue service 1040 or 1040a.

Students from families with AGI above $30,000 may be eligible .for the Interest Subsidy, if they can

demonstrate financial need. In determining financial need, the student must submit a family financfal statement which is analyzed' according to a standard formula established by the Office of Education.

Other changes which will affect students are:

1. The student is no longer allowed to borrow. The family contribution expected of that student is receiving other Federally sponsored Financial Assistance.

2. The amount which an independent student may borrow in an academic year, has been reduced from $3,000 to $2,500.

All of these changes were made in an attempt to reduce the Federal Budget. These changes mean that any student who applies for the Guaranteed Student Loan program after Oct. 1, 1981, will be required to document the family's income or submit a Financial Statement to the Financial Aid Office before that office can complete the institution section ofthe application form.

Peditorial·

Have you ever gone to an athletic event that was at another college? If you have you'll know what I'm talking about. Other colleges put on an impressive show. When you walk in you are met by a wall full of trophies.

Believe it or not, Peru State College actually has won a lot of trophies over the years, in a variety of activities.

Many students on campus may wonder where these trophies are located. IT you look on the east side of the hallway by the Bob Inn, you will see several cases filled with trophies and awards given to PSC.

You would think that the college would be proud of these and show them off to the students and to visitors, but for some reason these trophy cases have been tucked away, almost completely out of sight.

If anybody hasn't noticed, we have a new sports facility on Campus. The liPER Center, to me anyway, would seem to be the ideal place for Peru State's trophy cases. Where else on campus would be the best place to show off our athletic heritage to students, parents, and visiting teams.

Some people may think this not to be of any importance, but it is the small things that can really be impressive to people.

Comedy to be Performed

Mrs. Sampler (Jane Martir), .senior, Peru) poses the question and proposal, "Will she be happy at 78 with .Mr. Becker (Gary Dixon, sophomore, Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo.) as her fourth husband?" In a scene from the Homecoming play "The Silver Whistle," to be presented at 8 p.m. Oct. 8-9-10-11 with a matinee Sunday, Oct. 11at2 p.m.

Runoff is Stopped

The HPER Center erosion difficulties are no longer a prot-·em at PSC, according 'to Mr. Bill Reeves, head of the maintenance department. The erosion caused by hard rains, mole hills, and extensive runoff this summer, occurred on

the west side of the building. The warranty on the HPER Center made it necessary for the original contractors to eliminate the problem. After dirt was hauled in to fill the ruts and ditches, the entire area was reseeded.

Dear Editor, During my three years on this campus, I have been a number of different things to a number of different people. I call it clowning around. And I enjoy it. However, I feel that there are a few things that should be taken seriously. The school newspaper (The Ped) is one of these things. A school newspaper should

relfect the tastes, the attitudes, and the ambitions of both the students and the administration attending this school. ·

Although I pride myself in being a rational human being who is not easily swayed by such deluding factors as emotions, I must admit, nevertheless, that I am genuinely "perturbed" by the letters-to-the-editors written

by Chris Walsh and John Rusch taking up valuable space in The Ped that could otherwise have been used for more coverage of sports. I would thank these two '?/indbags to kindly keep their bickering over such banal items as human rights, human government, and human respect out of this newspaper.

Sincerely, Dave Gray

Can, This Campus Be Saved?

Did you realize we're already nearing the end of our seventh week of school? And what have we, the student body of Peru State College, actually accomplished so far this year? The semester is over one-third gone, and half of us are still sitting in our dorm rooms, wishing we were some place else. Why? What's wrong with Peru State College? ·

"Everything," you say. Well, THINK ABOUT IT! Sure we have reasons to gripe: the water is gross, the teachers are cruel, we have no air conditioning, the .heaters don't work, the food is stale, the football team lost...alright, alright, do you get my drift? Everybody has problems -we here at PSC are not special, nor are we deprived.

We've got to quit knocking ourselves down and start showing the rest of the world what we're all about. Like they say, "The Few, The Proud, The Students of Peru State College," (or something like that).

Senior Day Held On· PSC Campus

"Exploring, thinking, and planning together" is the theme of this year's Peru State College Senior Day, Wednesday, Oct. 14, according to Ken Steidle, admissions director.

"The completion of high school opens a whole new vista on the adult world. Peru State College can help you explore and plan your future in that adult world," according to Steidle.

He said that when choosing a college, a visit to a prospective campus is beneficial. It gives a student a chance to meet faculty and students whb are the heart of campus life.

The schedule for the day includes: 10 a.m.-Welcome and introductions.

10:30-Campus tour including visits to: Health Services, Re8idence Halls, HPER Sports Complex.

11:30 a.m.-Lunch and le5iure time, Student Center, Bob Inn; Book Store; Game room.

1 p.m.-Academic information and counseling.

1:30 p.m.-Blue Collar Workers, Fine Arts Auditorium and Lobby.

Steidle urges seniors to come to the PSC ca_mpus and discover the beauty and tranquility of the oldest college in Nebraska.

Registration will he in the Diddel Exhibition Court of the Fine Arts Building and there will be an hour and a half presentation on financial aids for counselors.

We have what it takes-we have great kids. I should know because I'm cne of them. We're nice, .we're smart, we're friendly, we're talented, and now all we need is an elementary 101 course in "ATTENDING , COLLEGE WHILE HAVING A GOOD TIME" or better yet, "HAVING A GOOD TIME WHILE ATTENDING COLLEGE."

Let's get up, get out, and get involved. After all, 50 per cent of what we learn here is not going to be in the classroom. BE REAL, 20 years from now are you actually going to remember your Library Media class, and how to file the Dewy Decimal way, or instead are you going to remember the time you and the rest of your intramural softball team spent the night in the Little Acorn, after the big game? THINK ABOUT IT.

I'm not saying that we should all go out and get wound up every night; I'm just saying that our social life could stand a little improving. College is a time to

Career fair

College juniors or seniors who have their careers planned or still have some questions unanswered should plan to attend the NETCHE Career Fair. The fair will be Nov. 3rd and 4th at the Lincoln Hilton in Lincoln.

According to Dwight Garman, director of placement at Peru State College, "The fair is an excellent opportunity for students to meet and talk with prospective employers and learn needed information." It is designed to show students how to follow job leads, fill out applications, and complete other various business necessities.

This event is being sponsored by NETCHE, a centralized agency consisting of colleges in Nebraska. Transportation will be provided by tlie college for anyone interested.

To register for the fair, contact the placement office at PSC by the Oct. 23 deadline.

meet new people and make new friends. We can still go home and see mom and dad, along with our girlfriend, or our boyfriend on the weekend, if we want, but while we're here, we are expected to enjoy ourselves. We want to see smiling faces on this campus. Remember THIS IS A COLLEGE, not a mortuary, not a convent, and not a monestary. It's time we get a little school spirit, uncage ourselves from our dreary means of existence and GO FOR IT! Come on, this is Homecoming weekend! Let's show our alumni, friends, relatives, and the rest of society, once and for all, that we have what it takes. After all, it's not the quantity but the quality that counts.

Bobcats -Narrowly Defeat Ravens

Jeff Frields kicked a 25-yard field goal with 12:55 remaining in the game to lift the Peru State Bobcats to a come-from-behind 16-15 victory over Benedictine at Amelia. Earhart Stadium in Atchison, Kan., Saturday, Oct. 3.

Renedictine scored its 15 points in a six minute span toward the end of the first period before the Bobcat defense stiffened.

A safety by Raven linebacker Joe Schaefer, a one-yard-sneak by quarterback Terry Torline and a 35-yard pass from Torline to Tom Bachkora were all the Ravens could manage against a fired-up Bobcat defense led by linebacker Jim Parrish and defensive back Neil Wolfe, with 15 and 12 tackles respectively.

The Bobcats got off to a slow start, due in part to transportation problems caused when the team bus broke down near Falls City. Even though Coach Jerry Joy's gridders were bailed out by buses from Falls City High School, the PSC contingent did not reach Atchison until about a half-hour before the game. The Bobcats were on offense only 3:18 of the first period, graphicaUy illustrating their inability to move the ball in the early going.

After a Raven punt bounced into the end zone with 8:01 left in

the first half the Bobcats fashioned an 11 play, 80 yard drive, culminating .in senior running back Alvin Holder scampering into the end zone on a 17 yard run with 3:35 remaining in the half.

Peru mixed slashing runs by Holder, and fullback Tony Riley and the passing combination of quarterback Mike Haney to tight end Todd McFarland to dent the Raven defense.

After the intermission, the Bobcats struck quickly. Holder's 41 yard run helped set up the Floridian's 12 yard slash for the night's final touchdown with 13 23 remaining in the third period. After carrying 23 times for 148 yards against Benedictine, the 5'11", 195-pound senior has 887 yards for a per game rushing average of 177.4.

Holder also ·was the catalyst for the Bobcats final score on the virtue of his 15-yard gain after receiving a Haney swing pass. Holder and Riley ran the ball to the Raven eight before Frields kicked his third field goal of the year on four tries to close out the night's scoring.

The Ravens mounted several threats late in the contest, but to no avq.il.

Torline attempted to scramble for a first down on a fourth and

one situation ··at the Bobcat 15 with 5:53 remaining, but his hole was filled by the .alert work of the Bobcat defensive line, including defensive ends Mark Wardian and Anthony Roberts, defensive tackles Dean Filipi and Perry Scott and noseguard Darrell Baker.

After freshman Wally Dalrymple punted fo the Bobcat 44 with 3:21 remaining, the Ravens spent most of the rest of the game driving down the fielc! against a menacing Bobcat defense. Wardian, Parrish, Dalrymple and Roberts all had hands in slowing the Raven march. · Raven kicker ·Terry Armer attempted a 25-yard field goal with 18 seconds left that was barely wide to the left. Haney then ran out the clock and the Bobcats rejoiced. "We were fortunate to win this game," said Joy. "I'm just happy that we got our fourth win."

The win raises the Bobcat's record to 4-1, going into PSC's Homecoming game against Nebraska Wesleyan. Game time is Z p.m., at the Oak Bowl. "Nebraska Wesleyan will be tough," said Joy. "Baker (Kan.) is ranked third in the country and didn't score on them until the third period."

Trustees Meet on Campus

The State Board of Trustees and staff came to Peru State College last Thursday as. the first guests in the Majors Hall Conference Center, newly renovated campus housing that will accommodate 96 overnight visitors for convention and conferences. This facility promises to be a major factor in attracting

future conferences to Southeast Nebraska.

In a formal board meeting Friday morning approval was granted to repair the sagging floor on the third floor of the Peru St&te College library. The Architectural firm of Jackson and Jackson, Omaha, was selected to plan the modification.

Held over until the next board meeting which will be Nov. 12 and 13 in Lincoln was the plan for the renovation of the Old Gym which is a proposal to move a part of the library, the media center and printing services to the old gym. One of the. suggestions of the North Central Association of Colleges report was the PSC library space be enlarged which has been recommended since 1966.

Dr. Clyde Barrett, vice president of academic affairs gave a presentation on the process of accreditation for the four state college system. He said that Peru State College has been granted North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools accreditation until 1991, which is the maximum length of time accreditation is granted. "The self-study that made. this possible took about a year befqre the visiting team came to campus to conduct a study in February," Barrett said. He emphasized the important role of the Board of Trustees in formulating the self-study used in the accreditation.

The improvement of writing skills in the four state colleges which has been considered by each college for about a year since the concern wasraised by David Martin, Kearney trustee, was discussed in committee with a formal report to be made in January.

This project consists of -a plan of improve writing skills. ·

-and a plan to report what is

currently done on each campus. ··

A November meeting is scheduled for Kearney when representatives from the four colleges will formulate a concrete plan to improve writing skills that will be presented to the board after the first of the year. It was reported that the Executive Board of the Legislature approved the design _phase of a $3.5 million expansion of the Student Union and the Nebraskan, the 1food service center, at Kearney State College. This will provide consolidation of food services into one location. Revenue bonds will be issued and contracts for construction will be announced in late spring. The project and initial design had been approved by the Board at an earlier meeting and forwarded to the Executive Board for consideration.

The Board of Trustees and · Board office staff were present in Neal Dining Room following the Board Meeting when Board of Trustees scholars and their parents and PSC administrators met for luncheon, a first at Peru State College.

We made it through another week of school. This time we not only survived, but we surpassed our previous level of existence.

To sum it up-We Bobcats Were Awesome!

- Can you believe it? Last Homecoming weekend this PSC campus actually showed a spark of life. No, it wasn't my imagination, my hallucination, or my ·scrambled brainwaves that dreamt all this. Believe it or not-I remained perfectly sobei:, perfectly coherent, perfectly sane, and thoU:roughly wide awake all weekend long.

The fabulous fearless Bobcat band, led the area high school bands in the parade, and in an impressive half time show. Along with this, they aided the cheerleaders, during the game, with their own unique and somewhat flakey cheers. · ""'

2.

Friday night there was an incredible turn out at the bonfire. We may not have actually. cheered the greatest, but then again you have to consider the fact that quite a few of us were suffering from a large dose of that afternoon Bocat spirit.

The important fact is that we were there: We united to support the activities and events on our campus. Yes, there is actually intelligent human life, roaming about Peru, between these thousand oaks.

The football game wasn't the sole attraction of the weekend. There was also the volleyball game, the cross country run, the play, the. homecoming rpyality festivities, and the dance. Each event held an important part in making the weekend a success.

This year even the dance was attended by a sizeable portion of the student body: some appeared to be having a very good time, some appeared to be having a fairly good time, while still others appeared to not know what they were having.

But when you get right down to it, we Cats were impressive. I bet the alumni was just eating their·hearts out, wishing they'd been that spirited back in the good ole days.

Many area students have become concerned about the wooded area behind Majors Hal and the HPER Center. This area has become a place for wasteftil dumping, not a place of beauty for enjoyment. The Beta Beta Beta fraternity is one group that is doing something about it.

Jeff Wignall, President of Tri Beta, will head the drive to restore the area to its natural state. The fraternity received $500 from the Student Senate in an effort to help. Most of the work will be done by the fraternity or volunteer help. The money will go into hiring btilldozers to do the job.

The project will consist of raising the road behind the tennis courts behind Majors Hall. This will allow for the building of a small pond which in

Alot of people went to alot of work to make our 1981 Homecoming the biggest and the best ever. (You will notice this statement is prejudice, but who cares? It's my editorial.)

Our Saturday morning parade was a huge success, with plenty of entries, and a large crowd to watch. The dorms ·got into the spirit, with hall decorations,

So now what do we do? Space off the· rest of the semester and wait for Christmas? Get dull, depressed, and bored? Go back to our room and stare at the walls for a good time? CAN'T SEE IT! We've got to keep the Big Blue Spirit going strong, cause the more momentum we get, the more it's going to be to stop us!

Play Presents Message

The Peru Players' Homecoming play, "The Silver Whistle," conveyed a message to its viewers: You are as old as you feel.

The Robert E. McEnroe play was centered around a senior citizen's home. The home is plagued by an overwhelming amount of self-pity and lifelessness. The owners of the home, a parish minister and his fiance, offered no more than minimal shelter to the old people Not until a cagy, convincing tramp (!omes along do the people realize the vim and vigor they actually possess.

The tramp was played by the multi-talented Gene LaVasseur. LaVasseur energetically moved about the stage in a zealous manner that was impressive, as was his acting ability.

Dave Gray played LaVasseur's ·skeptical tramp buddy. Seated on top of a ledge throughout most of the play' Gray contributed funny and witty lines that ·delighted the audience.

Karen Gerking and Todd Verhoeff played the owners of the home. Gerking gave a fine performance, portraying a slightly prudish woman who is mixed up about her actual attitude toward life, only to be given valuable LaVaSseur. Verhoeff played a very strict old-fashioned minister, who also·is enlightened by LaVasseur. After overcoming a slight case of the jitters,

Verhoeff blended with the play well.

Fine and funny portrayals of senior citizens were given by Kathy Miller, Gwynne Conley, Jane Martin, Linda Shepard, Gary D. Dixon, and David Osegueda. Miller played an old lady who would not trust anyone and constantly complained about everything. Conley portrayed a drunk and nearly deaf spinster who seemed to never know where she was. Martin played a spacy, senile woman who contemplated over marrying for a fourth time. Shepard strolled around the stage in a wheelchair preaching about sin and heathen dreams. Dixon and Osegueda played a pair of old men who always looked for excitement and a way to be yoµnger.

A very. funny scene showed Osegueda, Dixon and La Vasseur drinking some of Conley's scotch while eating bread-crumbs that LaVasseur had convinced the two old men to be a "youth potion" from Tibet.

The play,. directed by Dr. Charles H. Harper, was well organized and professionally done. The difficult task of making ,college students look like senior citizens was well done by. the inakeup crew. The lighting and stage was good and effective. It seemed as if the students enjoyed doing the play and equal 17esponse was given by the audience at this. partictilar perf9rmance.

Bobcats Still Ranked Nationally

The Peru State football team is ranked in a tie for 19th in last week's National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA)

Division Two football coaches' poll, released by the NAIA national office in Kansas City.

Coach Jerry Joy's Bobcats are deadlocked with Austin (Tex.) at 36 points. Pacific Lutheran (Wash.) took all 16 first place votes for 320 points. Concordia (Neb.), which defeated the Bobcats two weeks ago, stayed 12th with 141 points.

time will be stocked. This pond can be used to fish out of, and the winter time can be used for ice skating. Also in the plan is the building of a two-person trail that will also be used by the cross-country team, as well as some natural trails of grass. Some day there is the possibility of a small walk from the complex to school that wotild run through the woods. In the mean while, a lot of time will be spent cleaning the area up.

"This area should be returned to its natural state, so biology classes can use it, or just so people can enjoy its beauty," Wignall said. The group will also get help from the P-Club and Circle-K. Anyone interested in volunteering time should contact Jeff Wignall, President of the Tri Beta.

NON Workshop Begins Today.

A workshop on effective Federal educational programs which will improve educational techniques for teachers, students and school districts, "The National Diffusion Network," will be conducted on the Peru State campus Oct. 16, 17 and 24.

Teachers and instructors from kindergarten through grade 12 and college and university-levels are urged to attend, according to Dr. Paul Mars, instructor of the workshop. The National Diffusion Network offers a low-cost adoption of over 300 projects which were originally developed with federal funds at costs averaging $300,000 each, Mars said.

In 1978-79 NDN trained more than 25,500 teachers in its use and projects. More than 4,200

schools in more than 2;700 school districts improved their educational programs through the NDN projects in '78-'79 also.

·l\fars said that each state has a facilitator that handles the projects from other states for their state. The state facilitator who will be a consultant at the workshop is Mary Lou Palmer, Ph.D. She has taught in Illinois, New Jersey, California, Nebraska and London and is with the Nebraska State Department of Education in Field Services, Title I, as Director of Dissemination.

The cost of the workshop is $21 tuition for the one credit hour offered and $36 for out-of-state tuition with a $3 facilities use fee. First-time students are assessed a $10-matriculation fee.

yards per game. Holder has rushed for 887 yards in five games for an average of six yards per carry and nine touchdowns. The Floridian has caught six passes for 90 yards and one touchdown.

Coach Jerry Joy's Bobcats are also ranked in team rushing offense with an average of 267 0 yards per game. Fullback Tony Riley· has more than ably complemented Holder with 364 yards on only 67 carries to help boost the team rushing totals.

Some people just don't want Keith Mc Kim to take a layup in a recent scrimmage against Tarkio College at Peru. McKim, a 6-foot-5 senior from Humboldt, overcame these obstacles to make this shot in his quest to win a starting berth for Coach John Gibbs' Bobcats.

Riley's Turn to Carry Pigskin

Tony Riley (40), a 6-foot, 205 lb. sophomore fullback from Lincoln, has run for 364 yards on only 67 carries so far this season for Coach Jerry Joy's 5-1 Bobcats. In addition, he has blocked well for All-American running back Alvin Holder (48), shown blocking for Riley in last Saturday's 20-0 win against Nebraska Wesleyan. Other Bobcats pictured are tackles Jerald Hill and center Dan King (54).

Bobcats Intercept Wesleyan

The combination of a strong passing attack and a similarly strong pass defense helped the Peru State College football team defeat Nebraska Wesleyan 20-0 in the Bobcat Homecoming at the Oak Bowl Saturday, Oct. 10.

Coach Jerry Joy's Bobcats scored all three touchdowns on pass plays set up by interceptions during a six-minute span encompassing parts of the first and second periods. The Bobcats outgained Wesleyan 358-199 yards, despite being outrushed 128-116.

Quarterback Mike Haney had perhaps his finest· game of the season Saturday. The McCook junior completed 14 of 25 passes for 220 yards and three touchdowns as the Bobcat receivers were frequently seen open ill the flats.

Sophomore split end Doug Barlow was once again Haney's busiest receiver as the speedster caught nine passes for 126 yards and a score.

Peru's defensive backfield helped limit Plainsmen passers to 81 aerial yards on five completions, while intercepting four passes.

Spikers Break Barrierl

The Peru State volleyball team edged over the heretofore elusive .500 barrier by winning three of five matches last week.

Coach Maxine Mebus' Lady Bobcats defeated Northeast Community College 15-3, 15-10 and Southeast Community College 4-15, 15-11, 15-8 at Fairbury Tuesday, before whacking Bellevue 15-5, 16-14, 15-5 Wednesday at Bellevue.

Friday, the Lady 'Cats suffered a vengeful loss at the hands of Platte Community College in Columbus, 15-9, 15-3, 15-11, before losing to Kearney State Saturday at home, 14-16, 11-15, 15-4, 15-7, 15-10. The Lady 'Cats have now won ten out of their last 14 matches since a Sept. 22 loss at the hands of Northwest Missouri.

A pleased Mebus noted that the Lady Bobcats have responded well to potentially disastrous sitl!ations. Tri-captains Ronda Schroeder and Diana Stanley have been sidelined at different times with ankle injuries that have hampered their mobility.

;; Stanley is one of the team's besi setters, while Schroeder equally powerful as a spiker server. "We're starting to 9· everyone healthy for once," sai Mebus. "After this weekend ·. should be 100 per cent healthJfl for the first time this season.".:]

Elmwood freshman has particularlj picked up the absences of: Stanley and Schroeder. zer leads the team in scoringl average, despite having startedi but half the team's games,i "Virginia adds so much to ouri lineup," said Mebus. "She'si really good at both spiking andl setting, so when she's in thei front row, we can be more! versa tile." ·

The third-year coach added •.•

"I'm pleased with the way we'vei been playing-pleased to see; progress." She also commendedi her squad for playing withl greater consistency and confid- 1 ence as the game progresses.: "Ws good to see us settle downj and play our own game," saicfj Mebus. '

Pruitt ran back his second interception of the year seven yards to the Wesleyan 13 with 2: 46 remaining in the first period. Five plays later, senior running back Alvin Holder caught Haney's fifth touchdown pass of the year for eight yards with 1:02 left in the period.

Senior Jeff Frields added the extra point to give Peru a 7-0 lead.

Holder gained 119 yards on 24 carries to break the 1,000 yard barrier for the third time in four years. The Tampa, Fla. native went into the game ranked second in National Association of Intetcollegia te Athletics (NAIA) individual rushing statistics with a 177.4 yard average.

After Pruitt intercepted another errant Plainsman pass with 0:48 remaining in the first period, Holder's 22-yard gain with a Haney pass helped set up freshman Wilbert Lock's 28 yard touchdown grab with 13:49 remaining in the first half.

Sophomore linebacker Jim Parrish intercepted still another 'pass with 11 :40 remaining in the half to help set up Haney's 20 yard touchdown strike to

Barlow, who did some fancy stepping to stay inbounds with 10:02 remaining in the half.

The Bobcats overcame a sluggish third period during which they failed to pick up a first dQwn to control the ball during most of the final period. Wesleyan penetrated the Bobcat. ten yard line three times during the second half, but was unable to score. The Plainsmen lost the ball on downs twice and lost a fumble the third time to BobCa t monster back Garland Shafer with 2:01 remaining in the third period.

Joy was understandably pleased with the win. "We were very consistent on defense throughout the game," he said. "Even though I'm a little disappointed with the consistency of the offense in the second half, it was an overall good win."

Saturday, the Bobcats visit Chadron State to continue one of their heated rivalries. In the last three games between the two schools, the combined winning margin has been three points.

"Chadron's one of our toughest games, just because it's Peru State vs. Chadron," said Joy.

• 1n District Charts

Holder worked himself back into second place nationally in individual rushing with a 177.4 yard per game average, in addition to leading the district for the fourth straight week.

Holder trails Agee of Findlay (Ohio), who has rushed for 205 yards per game.

Holder has rushed 148 times for 887 yards and needs 692 yards to break the NAIA career rushing record set by Bobby Hedrick of Elon (N.C.) last year.

Sophomore split end Doug Barlow ranks second in district pass receiving with 77.0 yards per game on 23 catches for 385 yards. Barlow, who scored four touchdowns against Tarkio four weeks ago, is also tied for fourth in disttjct punt returning with 8.9

Governor Confers With Students

Nebraska Governor Charles Thone came to Peru State College for coffee .and an informal hour and a half. About 75 students, faculty and staff shook the governor's hand and chatted with him in the Majors Hall Conference Center which has been reactivated for conferences.

Dr. Larry Tangeman, president of PSC, told the group that it was a red-letter day for Peru State College. "We are honored that the Governor is able to visit our campus and we hope that he can return soon," Tangeman said.

Gov. Thone, who walked down

the hill to the conference center, was greeted by Peru Ambassadors and representatives of the Student Senate.

"When I was in college I worked for 25 cents an hour at the University Club in Lincoln," he told the group. He said that financial aid for students has changed and taken on new dimensions since his days at the University of Nebraska during the depression of the 1930's. It has made it possible for more people to be college-educated, he said.

In answer to a question from Janet Lathrop, coOdinator of the

Governor Discusses Current Topics

Constitutions Reviewed

Did you knc>w that in order to become a Peru State College organization your group needs a written constitution? Did you also know that this constitution must be submitted to our student senate for their approval? WeH it's true, according to PSC student body Vice-President Verdel Bohling.

Each year all new campus organizations must submit their constitutions to the student senate political committee for approval.

The constitution should follow the format established in Roberts Rules of Order, and be accompanied by a request for registration form. This form lists the club's officers, purpose, and advisor.

In the event of a senate rejection the constitution must be either revised or amended

before the organization may become an official part of our campus life.

/Existing organizations need only to fill out the request for registration form and turn it into the senate political committee for appr(}val.

The political committee, chairmaned by Verdell Bohling, sends the senate approved constitutions to Student Affairs for final approval. The approved constitutions are then. filed and kept on record iri the Political office for future reference and easy accessibility. Of the approximately twenty organiiations on campus, only six have turned in their request for registration forms this year.

If your organization hasn't received a form you may contact either Don Hosutt or Verdell Bohling for more information.

Title III Grant program and counselor, Gov. Thone said that there would not be fill energy day vacation during the Christmas break as there had been last year.

Gov. Thone discussed state, national and international affairs with the group followed by a brief tour of the Majors Hall Conference Center and the Health, Physical Education and Recreation CE;nter.

The Invitational Volleyball Tournament, which was taking place at the HPER Center, found many surprised players when the Governor dropped in.

Students Form

Marilyn Reeder and Shirley Rothell, seniors in psychology and sociology, have organized a Non-Traditional Student Organization to help other students like themselves. The organization was recently recognized by the Student Senate. Weekly meetings are planned during convocation.

Reeder said, "non-traditional students may be commuters, married students,/ divorced students with children, any student who is out of the usual high school-college sequence." She believes the organization can help commuting students get to know more people on campus, and for the student :who has children, nurseries and child care are goals for the organization.

"This organization is important to the college because more students will be non-traditional than ever before," she said.

The Faith Experience--

Sister Mary Faith expresses herself to PSC students.

Poet Reveals Secrets

Sister Mary Faith, of Benedictine College, shared with PSC students, faculty and staff members, "a poetry experience" on Wednesday, October 21.

"Write about the things you see, the people you know and love-the world around you," was the advise she gave would-be writers.

The petite white-haired nun charmed listeners with her lively versa tile personality. She said none of us are born grammarians but all of us are born storytellers.

New ideas for stories or poetry can come from almost any source. "Invent an impossible situation and work yqur way out of it," was a fa'.'Orite suggestion made by Sister Mary Faith. Her quick wit and graphic insight into the poetry field made the presentations interesting, enjoyable, and worthwhile. Write about how you feel-the good and the bad. If yon feel bad, then say you feel bad. As Sister Mary Faith said, if you want to get an A+ in competition, you've got to get the dirt under your fingernails.

Dogs Analyzed in Study

A study of heartworm in dogs is being conducted in the Peru area by Dr. Larry Pappas, assistant professor of biology, and students Allan Lunzmann and Brad Lockhart.

According to Pappas, heartworm is caused by a roundworm that is transferred to the dog by mosquitoes. The worm gets into the heart and lungs and clogs up the blood stream and may lead to death if not treated in time.

''There were two or three incidences of heartworm that turned up around the area, which Is pretty unusual," Pappas said. "So a study is being conducted around Peru and parts of southeastern

Nebraska to check the dogs and see where the disease is more predominant." , The study has just begun, and three dogs have been found to have the disease. The process involves taking a blood sample from the dog and analyzing it in the lab. If the tests are positive, then a heartworm pill is given to the dog once a day during mosquito season.

According to Pappas, the study will continue through the winter and early spring. In April, Lunzmann and Lockhart will present the results at the regional Tri-Beta Convention at Columbia, Missouri.

Peditorial

I hope you all had a nice break, it sure is nice to get away for a while.

Everybody is always talking about it, even I am right now, but nothing is ever done. What is this terrible thing you say. It is apathy.

We see it all the time on campus. At every college-sponsored event, only a small fraction of the student body shows up. The people that don't ·go always seem to be the ones that complain that there is nothing to do on campus.

· There is one surefire way to cure apathy. I know you want to know what this miracle cure is: it's called getting involved. Try it, you might like.

Senator Visits

State Sen. Don Wesely, of the 26th District, Nebraska Legislature, and Carroll Thompson, State Board of Trustees member, came to PSC recently for a tour and an informal visit with Dr. Larry Tangeman, president of Peru State.

"This is the first time I have been to Peru State College and I'm certainly impressed with its facilities and beauty," Wesely said. He said he was especially impressed with the spirit and friendliness of the students.

Thompson said that he comes to the Campus of a Thousand Oaks occasionally and "it is always a pleasure to be here."

"We are always pleased when a member of the State Legislature is able to visit us and we feel that Carroll is an old friend of the College," Tangeman said.

Lice Infestation

by Sally Martineau

An infestation of head lice has hit local schools in the area but the problem has been attacked so quicldy it is unlikely college students will become infected, according to Mrs. Virginia Miller, R.N. Only 17 cases have been reported out of approximately 80 children. Grade schools in surrounding areas have also been affected such as Auburn and Nebraska City. Head lice are usually transmitted from one infested person to another by direct contact with the hair. Personal' items like combs, brushes, towels and bedding are other frequent sources, of contamenation. Another common source of infestation is clothing, such as hats, ribbons, scarves, topcoats, and sweaters, all of which proved excellent transportation from one individual to another. Although the lice are difficult to see, they are easy to recognize, provided you are actually looking for them. One telltale sign is a persistent itch of the scalp, often accompanied by infected scratch marks or what appears to be a rash. Closer inspection will reveal small silvery eggs attached to individual hairs.

To treat head lice infestation it is usually best to seek medical advice on treatment. The most modern prescription remedy is an easy to use shampoo, which has no side effects, does not require shaving the head, has no telltale odor and usually eliminates the problem with one application.

Remember, head lice can to anyone, clean or dirty, rich or poor. The most important fact to remember is that the problem should be quickly treated becaus.e delays will only help to spread the infestation throughout the community.

Letter to the Editors

Dear Editor:

As an alumnus returning to Peru at Homecoming after an absence of more than a decade, I was able to make some observations which I hope you'll find interesting. There are changes-some are obvious; others are subtle.

Among the obvious the new HYPER Center, the Complex and the Fine Arts Building which are very welcome additions. The emphasis on women's athletics is an improvement and certainly expands opportunities for women. More subtly, and not so welcome to me, is the lost practice of "ringing the bell" at the old gym after every football victory.

Many things haven't· changed -a well coached football team, the camaraderie and hospitality of the students and faculty and the absolute beauty of the campos (which isn't fully appreciated until you've been away for

The college still struggles to find a way to keep students on campus on weekends. If you read back issues of the PED, you'll find that 20 years ago we lamented the fact that so many students went home every weekend. We thought we were being innovative by developing activities to keep people on campus, but alas, the solution remains elusive and it appears Peru is still a "suitcase college."

Just Spoutin Off

Have you ever had one of those days when nothing seems to go right? You forget to set your alarm clock. Your alarm forgets to go off. You forget it's Wednesday convo. and miss another ten minutes of the class you're already fifteen minutes late for. You finally get up the nerve to walk into class, but forget to bring the paper that was due a .week ago. And to top it all off, you forget about the test you're having today over the, fir5t three chapters of the book you forgot to read. Well don't get nervous! There is something worse than having "one of those days." It's having "one of those days" day after day after day after day until finally you wake up and realize that two weeks have elapsed and you're still in the process of trying unsuccessfully to set your alarm clock.

week after, Thanksgiving vacation, or better yet Christmas.

However, this philosophy doesn't come in too handy around certain phases of the year. Especially now when the semester is half way over, and some teachers find it necessary to reduce the workload and population of their class by subjecting us to midterm exams.

No. I seriously doubt that our PSC instructors would intentionally try to flunk us out (after all, there are easier ways to get rid of us). Rather, I have a feeling their midterms are designed to show us what we've learned so far this semester. Unfortunately, they also have a way of pointing out what we've failed to comprehend.

I can't offer an answer to- the problem of failing to keep people on campus, but I do encourage all of you to maximize the benefits of your college careers by staying over. Participation in the "extra curricular" activities which occur only on weekends are among the memories you'll treasure most when you become an allumni.

Lastly, I'm proud to have graduated from Peru. The education I received bas been most helpful; the friendships are 'lasting and meaningful and it is reassuring to find that the college is continuing in the same traditions which have made it outstanding for over hundred years.

Sincerely, Ray L. Unterbrink, Class of 1961.

have poured into this college education. Notice the word is "education" not "vacation."

Anybody can cheat. Anybody can give up. But those of us with the real motivation are going to get right in there and Go For It! Say what? You've got the motivation but you just don't have the time? Oh, please don't make me cry. Be real. You may not HA VE the time, but one way or another you can MAKE the time.

Go ahead cram if you have to. Cramming is ok, providing you don't forget ever;ything before you take the test, or immediately thereafter. The important thing is to try (fry that mind for a change) a lttle work isn't going to hurt it once or twice a year.

instruction tutor students in areas that they have difficulty in.

Students can see these specialists whenever their schedules allow. Their office hours are ll':00-3:00on Tuesdays and Thursdays and other hours are arranged.

It's called "Spacing off." Beljeve me, I know, because I live in the same dorm room with four other girls, and what my roomies can't space off is totally beyond human comprehension. They space off tests, they space off term papers, they space off homework, they space off class, they space off everything-excluding food. It's disgusting.

Of course my motto isn't all that different than theirs. Like I say, never put off until tomorrow what you can do next week, the

To the average student though, there is still only one word to describe your basic midterm, but since this is a college newspaper we'll leave it. up.· to your •own underworked imaginations to supply such an expression.

You see, the problem is that midterms make it very difficult for one to keep .spacing off long overdue assignments. In fact, it's virtually impossible (if you're even co1,1sidering trying to pass the course).

Now there are several ways you can prepare for a midterm :

1) you can study all semester long, then review for the test, 2) you can cheat, 3) you can cram, or 4) you can pschye yourself out before the test, give up, and not even bother studying.

I've got to be fair and admit that No. 2 and No. 4 are not your best bet. In fact 2 and 4 are just going to waste the money that you, or mommy and daddy,

So the next time you're about to space off-STOP and THINK -there's more to life than just wondering around empty headed -WAKE UP-dump that old "one of those days" syndrome and BE SOMEBODY.

Author's Note: No, it's not yo_ur imagination. This editorial is three weeks late in. being published, so if you've already passed your midterms-CONGRATULATIONS. If not, don't -give np, look at the bright side there's always "finals."

Shafer leads Nation in Returns

Peru State College senior Garland Shafer has averaged 28.5 yards per kickoff r.eturn to all NAIA return men, according to figures released by the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) national office in Kansas City, Mo., Monday.

Shafer, a 6-foot-4, 225-pound senior back from

Shubert, has returned 10 kickoffs for 285 yards. Franklin (Ind.) senior Dean Wood is second to Shafer with a 28.0 average.

Shafer is also the fifth leading tackler for Coach Jerry Joy's Bobcats going into Peru's regular season finale with Kansas Wesleyan Saturday at 2 p.m., in the Oak Bowl.

Shafer Sprints Tow a rd Record-

Peru State College senior Garland Shafer looks upfield on the way to a school-record 100 yard kickoff return against Yankton. The 6-foot,4, 225 pounder from Shubert ranks second among all National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics CNAIA) kickoff returners with a 28.5 yard avera_ge. In addition, the star monster back has intercepted three passes, recovered two fumbles and made 61 tackles to rank fifth on the 1981 Bobcats with one game remaining with Kansas Wesleyan on Nov. 7.

Greyhounds Get Scratched

The Peru State football team used a school-record 100-yard kickoff return by senior monster back Garland Shafer with 12:58 remaining in the second period to fake the lead to stay in a 32-23 victory.

Shafer, a 6-foot-4, 225-pounder, took a Brian Onken kick on the goal lipe, faked a handoff to sophomore fullback Tony Riley, then weaved through the right side of the Greyhound kickoff squad with senior defensive end Mark Wardian alongside to fend off any would-be tacklers to break the old record of 98 yards set by Stan Taylor in 1975 and tied by Roosevelt Brown in 1979. Shafer also set the Bobcat record for longest pass reception when he caught a Mark Fletcher pass for 79 yards in 1976.

The Bobcats retained their lead for the rest of the game by unleashing a balanced attack.

Six different Bobcats caught passes, led by freshman flanker Wilbert Lock's four receptions for 40 yards; and five Bobcat backs combined for 198 net rushing yards, led by senior Alvin Holder with 97 yards on 20 carries and Riley's 55 yards on 11 carries.

Peru totaled 359 yards on offense while needing only 63 offensive plays. However, the

Bobcat defense yielded only 257 yards tg Yankton despite being on the field for 85 plays.

Peru State opened the scoring when sophomore tight end Todd

..McFarland caught his first touchdown pass of the season on a 12-yard strike from junior quarterback Mike Haney. McFarland's tenth catch of the season capped a six play, 40 yard drive that chopped 2: 15 off the clock.

After Yankton quarterback Hilgendorf plunged over from the one with 13:14 remaining in the first half and Brian Onken's kir:k made the score 7-6 in favor of Yankton, Shafer electrified the shivering crowd with his scoring return.

Lock caught Haney passes of 13 and eight yards to help set up Peru's next score on a two yard run by Riley with 7:28 remaining in the half to boost Coach Jerry Joy's Bobcats to an 18-7 lead before a Greyhound touchdown and field goal narrowed the Bobcat lead to 18-17 by halftime.

Peru took the second half kickoff and drove 67 yards on their first possession for their fourth touchdown. Sophomore quarterback Mark Sievers, who replaced Haney when the latter was injured late in the first half, threw 45 yards to a wide-open

Lady 'Cats Fight at Tourney

The Peru State volleyball team reached the quarterfinals of the Missouri Western College tournament in St. Joseph, Mo. by beating Benedictine College of Kansas in one set by a greater margin than PSC was defeated.

Coach Maxine Mebus' Lady Bobcats (13-19-5) beat Benedictine 15-9 before losing to the Ravens 15-13. Nevertheless, the Lady 'Cats advanced out of pool play to meet Briarcliff, only to lose 16-14, 15-1 in a particularly hard-fought match. "The score of the final set does not indicate the intensity with which the team played," said Mebus.

Before tying Benedictine the PSC spikers lost to Pittsburg State 15-4, 15-12. In other pool play, the Lady Cats lost to Evangel 15-8, 15-11 before

Central Missouri State beat Peru, 17-15, 15-7.

Mebus cleared her bench frequently throughout the tournament. Two reserves who particularly shined were Auburn junior Joyce Myers and Stella freshman Sondra Stanley. Myers contributed several timely serve points and sets to the Lady 'Cat effort while Stanley showed excellent front row spiking skills, according to Mebus.

· Mebus was pleased with the Lady 'Cat showing despite the losses. "Different kids did a good job throughout the tournament," said the third-year coach.· "It was good experience to see how we'd do against competitionJrom throughout the region."

Willie Mingo in the end zone with 12:02 left in the period. Freshman Mark Kechley converted the point after for a 25-17 Bobcat lead.

Riley caught a 20-yard pass from his old Lincoln Southeast teammate Sievers and Kichley converted with 2:21 left in the third period to conclude Peru State's scoring. Riley's third touchdown of the year was set up by Sievers' pass to still another Lincoln Southeast grad, Doug Barlow, good for 24 yards to the Yankton 21.

Tough Yankton scored.on a 16 yard pass from Hilgendorf to Tom Lester with 9:41 remaining in the game, the outcome was never seriously in doubt in the fourth period.

Shafer and offensive guard Marty Haverty were nominated as· defensive and offensive players of the week, respectively. Shafer made five unassisted stops and seven assists from his monster back position, while Haverty was a mainstay of the line that kept pressure off the quarterbacks and opened gaping holes for the running backs.

"I'm real happy with the way the kids played," said Joy. "I am especially pleased with the fact that a lot of people played well on offense."

JV Takes Its Toll

The ,Peru State volleyball team was once again hampered by a relative lack of reserve depth, losing the varsity match to Concordia 15-8, 15-9, 15-2, after winning the reserve match 15-2 i5-12 at Seward. '

Several of Coach Maxine Mebus' regular varsity players, including second-leading scorer Virginia Schweitzer, leading setter Glevon Covault and back-row specialist Carla Frauen, had to play to both matches, while Concordia fielded a full reserve squad. · ·

Several of the reserves, such as Auburn junior Joyce Myers, Stella freshman Sondra Stanley and Murray freshman Nadine Konfrst gained valuable experience playing the reserve match.

$pikers Slip at Blair

The Peru State volleyball team dropped two matches at Blair, despite the combined efforts of sophomore Carla Frauen and freshman Barb Peterson.

Coach Maxine Mebus'·spikers lost to Nebraska Wesleyan 16-14, 15-9and Dana 16-14, 13-15, 15-3 at the Dana Lady Vikings' home

court.

Frauen, a graduate of Lincoln High School, counted· six aces among her team leading 15 serve points, while Omaha Cathedral grad Peterson led the team with 13 spike points and two blocks. The 5'10 yearling leads the Lady 'Cats with 151 downed spikes this season.

JV Fumbles Into Victory

The Peru State junior varsity football team scored three touchdowns in the first five minutes of a 25-12 win over Tarkio at the Peru State Oak Bowl. Coach Erv Pitts' junior 'Cats capitalized on Tarkio turnovers to score twice in the first period after freshman fullback David Pasley had capped a seven-play, 63-yard-drive on 16-yard Tb run with 13:01 left in the opening quarter. , After the first Tarkio, freshman halfback Jeff George romped ·19 yards with a pass from freshman quarterback Alan Carothers for a score with 11:51 remaining in the first period. The 5-foot-11, 170 pound, Tampan scored again on a run with 10: 5S. remaining in the first frame, after another Tarkio fumble. Mark Kechley's conversion put the

Not This Time-

score at 19-0.

Carothers, a 5-10, 165-pounder from Wisner, ran four yards for the final Bobcat score with 5:58 left in the game, after freshman linebacker Rusty Heuer recovered a fumble on the Tarkio 27 and George ran 23 yards.

An effective rushing attack kept the ball in Bobcat hands much of the evening. Peru gained 386 yards on the ground against the Owls as George carried 21 times for 100 yards to lead the way. Freshman halfback Kevin Hixson chipped in with 98 yards on only 11 carries, including a 52-yard romp. And, Pasley carried 12 times for 70 yards, while playing little more than a quarter of the game.

The Tarkio game concludes the JV schedule for Peru. The varsity plays Saturday against Kansas Wesleyan at home.

These two Tarkio tacklers want a shot at Peru State College freshman running back Tony Harris in the junior varsity football game at the Peru State Oak Bowl. Harris, a 6foot-2, 185 pounder from Omaha managed to elude these Owls for an eight yard gain as the Bobcats defeated the Owls, 25-12 on the strength of 293 yards team rushing.

Psychiatr.ist Solves Student Blocks

The main problem right now is that very few people know. that the mental health service is here and available, 'according to Bill Dreger, Psychiatrist at PSe. Dreger is a licensed psychiatrist with Blue Valley Mental Health Center in Auburn. Every Tuesday he brings his services to Peru for anyone who needs assistance in working out any emotional problems they may have.

Dreger said that the main problem with the majority of the students that he has worked with is the adjustment problems that they have getting used to a new school in a new environment.

Dreger's office is located on the top floor of Majors Hall. He

is in Peru every Tuesday for anyone who needs to see him about any problem they may have.

Blue Valley Mental Health Center is a state-supervised organization whose main purpose is to help people cope with their problems.

Blue Valley is supervised by the State Department of Health and the Department of Public Institutions which institute policies and make inspections to make sure that Blue Valley meets up to its standards.

Blue Valley serves eight counties in Southeast Nebraska and. has five full-time clinics.

The cost of the services, said Dreger, is based· on the

individual's ability to pay. The clinic is financially aided by Peru State College.

Dreger said that if anyone needs to see him, they should · contact Mrs. Virginia Miller, R.N. at Majors Hall to set up an appointment.

Dreger said that if it was an emergency, and the pei;son had to talk right away, he or she should call Di:'eger's office in Auburn.

Dreger said that he has talked to people at 3:00 in the morning. He added that he "would rather talk to ·someone with a problem at 3:00 in the morning than to wait until the problem that they have.has developed too fully."

The study which will continue into spring has been instrumental in discovering three dogs in the Peru area with heartworm. "This is pretty unusual, so we are conducting a study in Southeastern Nebraska to check dogs to see where the disease is more predominant,'' Pappas said. The results of the study will be presented by Lunzmann and Lockhart at the spring regional Beta Beta Beta Convention in Columbia, Mo.

Peru State College received a $17,176 National Science Foundation Grant for equipment that enables Pappas to carry on scientific research in Southeast Nebraska.

Now that True Blue Week is over let's reflect upon what happened last week.

Overall True Blue was a great success in bringing students together to have a little fun and cure the boredom. Most of the students I talked to really liked the idea and all of the different activities on campus. But I woQ].d like to look at some of the individual events.

One great success was the Roller Skating Party. Everyone seemed to enjoy the roller skating. One problem with the roller skating, rrow that it is to become a regular activity on campus, is that there are more people who want to skate, but there are not enough skates for everyone. I can understand the problem with this, in that only so many people can fit into the gym at one time.

All of the other events, the Variety Show, Anything Goes, Slave Auction, and all of the others seemed to go off fairly well, although there still seemed to be a lack of student participation all through the week.

The hog roast was the one activity that was really disappointing to me. Everywhere I. looked on campus the Hog Roast was supposed to be in the Oak Bowl after the game. I found out where it was by seeing the lights turned on at the softball field, and that's really a stupid way to find out where the Hog Roast was. Some students thought that it was supposed to start later in the evening and they missed it completely.

True Blue Week was, and is, a great idea and should be repeated next year, but let's have a little more planning and organization before the next one.

'Cats Still Score

The Peru State football team continued to score points in the NAIA Division Two football coaches' poll released by the NAIA national office in Kansas City, Mo.

Coach Jerry Joy's Bobcats scored nine points in this week's poll, up from eight the previous week. St. Mary's (Cal.) is ranked 20th with 20 points.

Just Spoutin Off

Did you watch Peru State College on channel seven Sunday night? It never ceases to amaze me how incredibly deserted this campus always seems to appear. I know the weekends are not known for their excitement, but that film was taped during the afternoon of a regular school day. Where are all the people?

And now that football season is over we're really in trouble. At least dllring football if we got desperate we could always wander by the practice field and be reassured that there were 80 healthy breathing specimans on campus. But now what?

There are a fair amount of commuters attending this institution, but the rest of us are supposedly living somewhere on this campus. Don't try and tell me that everybody is sitting at home (day and night) studying.

The only place I've found with a large population during the week is the Little Acorn on Wednesday nights. And by that point in time everybody is so overjoyed to see another human face that you never can tell what is going to happen.

Did you catch the part on TV where they said Peru was such a friendly campus? The only reason they say we're so friendly, is that nobody is ever around to be unfriendly.

The semester isn't over yet. There is still time to get out and do a little preseason celebrating. True blue week gave us a start in that direction. I don't know if you could call it a celebration, but there sure were some pretty strange things happening throughout the week.

I mean, before last week how many of us really got into throwing cow chips, or how many of us ever. got paid for a kiss. Maybe a few, but the majority of us have never had such an enlightening experience previously.

True blue week was just one of the many events that has kept ow; campus alive and somewhat spirited this year. A lot of hard. work went into last week, to give we students a chance to get out of those crowded dorm rooms and take an, active part in college life.

Let's don'-t let this dull period of post-football and post-volleyball blues get us down. We mighty Bobcats have a lot to look forward to: basketball, the plays, music concerts, and the list goes on. We Cats are definitely a special breed, not only can we talk but we've also got the muscle it takes to get the job done and done right!

Coaches Mark New Season

With the start of the basketball season just around the corner, the outlook for the PSC round ball squads is optimistic. Both men's and women's teams return some valuable depth to this year, which should give Bobcat fans something to cheer about.

John Gibbs is in his first year as head coach of the men's team this year. He is a 1970 graduate of William-Jewell College in Missouri. As a coach, he has only suffered one losing season, which he hopes can help to bring success to Peru also, as the Bobcats look to improve on last years dissapointing mark.

Seven lettermen return from last years team which should help in giving some ample depth. This year only two seniors are on a youthful squad of 22. Keith McKim, 6-5, 5.2 ppg., and Jeff Smith, 6-1, and 9.7 ppg., are two players who should show good leadership and consistant play throughout the year. Along side of them will be three returning juniors, Thom Johnson, 6-3 forward who averaged 13.5 ppg., Kip Allison, 6-9 center averaging 9.4 ppg., and 6-4 forward Brett Nanninga, with 3.3 ppg. The other two lettermen are sophomores Morris Liesemeyer, a 6-5 forward-center, and Gary Bender, a o-0 guard.

In addition to his seven returning lettermen, Giblbs has two transfers who should help immensely this year. Everett Smith, a 6-3 forward from State Fair Community College in Kansas City, Mo., and David Miller, a 5-11 guard from Northeast Oklahoma A & M, in Tulsa, Ok. Bo.th are juniors this year.

Rounding out the rest of the squad are: Juniors: Tom Bock, 6-3 forward, Jay Knaak, 6-2 guard, John Moran, 6-1 guard,Brian Strother, 6-4 ·forward, three sophomores: Curt Cogswell, 6-2 forward, Byron Freeman, 6-6 center, Pat Harrison, 6-0 guard, and six freshmen, Brian Flagg, 6-1 guard; Vince Henzel, 5-9 guard, John Lepper, 6-6 center, Rod Miller, 6-4 forward-center, Brian Roach, 5-9 guard, and Randy Wafford, 5-11 guard.

Although the Bobcats lack in height, the depth and experience should help in overcoming a transition to a new offense. "It's really hard to judge this early in the season how we'll do, but I'm very pleased with the way the kids are working in practice and the progress that we are

currently making as a team," Gibbs said.

The Bobcats open their season with the NAIA Tourney Nov. 18-20. The JV's open their schedule at Missouri Western on Nov. 11. Captains for this year's squad are seniors Keith McKim and Jeff Smith. Assistant coaches are Charlie Doeden and Mark Hrabik. ·

"This year's squad will be one of the most competitive that Peru State has fielded in the last few years," says Kathy O'Connor, a 1979 graduate of Creighton and first year mentor of the Lady Bobcats. Although the Lady Cats went 2-17 last year, there are several reasons why that should turn around this year.

Eight letterwinners return from last year, which should provide both depth and experience. Jackie Nixon, a 5-6 guard who averaged 12.0 ppg., is the leading scorer from last year and is one of two seniors who will spear-head the season's campaign. Kim Grinstead, a 5-5 guard-forward, is the only other senior on the squad. She was the third leading scorer last season with 8. 7 ·and was second in rebounding at 6.1.

Other letterwinners include:

·Lorrie Curnes, a 5-9 forwardcenter who was second in sc;oring with rn.1 ppg., Mary Neels, 5-7 soph. forward-center, Sandy Norwood, 5-9 soph. forward-center, Carla Frauen, 5-7 soph: guard, and Brenda Wilkinson, a 5-4 junior guard.

Coach O'Connor has four newcomers to this year's squad which should really help out.

Alice Anderson, a 6-0 soph. center., should giVe some needed height and strong play inside, Barb Peterson, 5-10 freshman forward-center, Georgean Schimke, 5-5 freshman guard, ;md Linda Shepard, 5-7 guard, who is also a freshman.

The strength of the team will lie in experience, speed, intelligence, and a high level of commitment.

Although the Lady Cats lack in depth and a winning tradition, you can still look ahead for an improved and spirited season.

"Observers watching the team throughout the season will notice steady improvement. Two keys to our success will be our ability to realize that we have the capacity to win basketball games, and our ability to keep ourselves in top condition," O'Connor suggests. The Lady Bobcats open their season in the NAIA tournament Nov. 19-20.

Led by first team all-<:onference selection Barb Peterson, second team all-conference Rhonda Buethe and honorable mention pick Virginia Schweitzer, the Peru State College volleyball team concluded its 1981 season by placing third in the Nebra&ka College Conference (NCC) meet at Kearney.

The Lady Bobcats split eight games, defeating Bellevue 15-7, 15-3; tying Chadron State 11-15, 15-11; and Wayne State 10-15, 15-13; and losing to conference champ Kearney State 15-4, 15-9. Peterson, a 5-10 freshman for Coach Maxine Mebus' spikers, had 24 spikes in the eight games to boost her team leading spike total to 204. The Omaha Cathedral grad was the thirdleading vote getter in the alkonference selections.

The 5-10 Buethe, a Plattsmouth freshman, led the squad in total scoring with a 3.4 point per game average, including 190 serve points and 139 spikes in 99 games.

Washington Goes in for the Score-,-

Peru State senior Mike Washington slammed over from the one yard last Saturday against Kansas Wesleyan despite the efforts of several Coyote tacklers. Washington, a 5foot-11, 240 pound University of Nebraska-Lincoln transfer from Lincoln H.S., scored two touchdowns in spot duty for the 1981 Bobcats.

Schweitzer led the Lady Bobcats in sets with 187 and was third in total scoring with a 3.2 average per game. The 5-9 Elmwood freshman also led the squad in blocks with 16.

Wesleyan Fol Is to Display of Power

The Peru State football team displayed an awesome offensive and defensive machine at the expense of Kansas Wesleyan, 66-0, Saturday, Nov. 9 at the Oak Bowl.

Coach Jerry Joy's Bobcats rolled up 530 yards total offense against the Coyotes, while yielding only 129 yards. Peru rushed for 363 yards while passing for 167.

Nine players scored touch- ' downs for the 'Cats, as Joy cleared his bench last in the game to give some of the younger players an opportunity to shine on the varsity level. The Bobcats scored five touchdowns rushing, two passing, and two by defensive players participating in their final varsity game.

Senior running back Alvin Holder gained a season-high 236 yards on 30 carries to push himself over the 5,000 yard mark for his career. Holder has 1,408 yards rushing this season and 5,013 for his career. The Tampa, Fla. native broke a 52-yard run for the longest gain on either team as he averaged almost eight yards per carry.

Holder was ably complemented by the passing of junior quarterback Mike Haney, who completed 10 of 19 passes for 149 yards and two touchdowns. Sophomore tight end Todd McFarland caught a career high five passes for 71 yards to lead the Bobcat receiving corps.

· The PeruState defense led by senior noseguard Darrell Baker and sophomore linebacker Jim Parrish with ten tackles apiece, effectively neutralized the threat posed by Kansas Wesleyan freshman Elliott Edwards. Edwards, who went into the game with 930 yards rushing, was held to 13 yards on only seven attempts.

Kansas Wesleyan quarterback

Bill Evans was harrassed by the Bobcat defense all afternoon, completing only four of 15 passes for 54 yards and one interception. Evans also rushed 14 times for only two net yards, as the Bobcats had four quarterback sacks.

As an indication of Bobcat prowess Saturday, Kansas Wesleyan was forced to punt seven times, while nary a punt was attempted by Peru. In addition, the 'Cats averaged 6.6 yards per play on 80 tries, while Wesleyan made 2.2 yards per play.

Both teams moved the ball fairly well in the early going, but were unable to capitalize on early opportunities. After leyan lost the ball on downs on the Peru 31, a 13 yard run by Holder and a 17-yard Haney-toMcFarland pass helped set up a 25 yard scoring strike from Haney to freshman flanker Wilbert Lock with 8:32 remaining in the first stanza. Senior Jeff Frields converted the first of his six straight extra points for a Bobcat lead.

An acrobatic catch by freshman split end Willie Mingo set up Peru's second scpre on a one yard run by si:>phomore fullback Tony Riley with 6:11 remaining. Mingo, a freshman from Tampa, Fla., landed narrowly outside the touchdown pylon to set up Riley's plunge.

The Bobcats took almost one-third of the second period to drive toward their third touchdown. Thirteen plays after Lock returned a Wesleyan punt to the Peru 41, Holder slammed over from the one for his 13th touchdown of the season with 9:03 remainfng in the half.

Frields, a 6-foot, 185 pounder from Roxana, ill., necessitated another change in the Bobcat record book when he kicked a yard field goal with no time left

in the first half. Frields kick broke the old standard of 43 yards set by Dale Patton in 1976. Senior co-captain monster back Garland Shafer's 22 yard punt return and two Holder runs of seven an.d 17 yards set up a 20 yard pass from Haney to sophomore split end Doug Barlow for a score with 7:08 remaining in the third period.

Still another Tampa native, senior co-captain cornerback Terrell Williams, excited the crowd when he stepped in front of a Wesleyan receiver and returned the interception 26 yards for still another Bobcat score with 5:06 left in the third period.

Peru launched a massive drive soon afterward that lasted

Holder Breaks Magic Number-

Senior running back Alvin Holder gained a season-high 236 yards against Kansas Wesleyan in Peru State College's 66-0 victory last Saturday at Peru. In this picture, Holder has just broken through the Wesleyan line with help from Bobcat junior tackle Mitch Egger (71) on one of his 30 carries. The Tampa, Fla. native gained 1,408 yards rushing during the 1981 regular season, to put his career total at 5,013 yards In four years. ·.

Mehus was pleased with the spikers' performance, despite the fact that the team was eliminated from further postseason play. "It was an excellent way to end the season," the third-year coach stated. "The kids played really well all year despite all the injuries .that we suffered."

The North Dakota native is optimistic about her team's future. "Everybody's coming back next year and we hope to be able to pick up where we left off."

· PSC's 1981 record of 14-21-7 puts Mebus' career record at 50-40-11. Injuries to co-<:aptains Diana Stanley and Ronda Schroeder played a major role in foiling an attempt at a third straight winning season.

Kearney and Chadron State Colleges fielded teams at the NAIA District 11 meet Friday and Saturday at Kearney as a result of their finish in the conference meet.

twelve plays and covered 61 yards in 6:17, ending when senior fullback Mike Washington plunged over the one with 11 :25 remaining in the game for his second touchdown of the year. Six different Bobcats rushed for positive yardage on that drive, as Joy shuffled backs and plays to near perfection.

Three plays later, Shafer recovered a Wesleyan fumble on the KW 21 with 10:30 left, and runs by Tampa freshman running backs Jeff George and David Pasley set up George's four yard romp with 8:47 left. Freshman Mark Kechley converted his first of three extra points for a 52-0 lead.

After senior defensive back Curtis Pruitt intercepted his sixth pass of the season and returned to the Wesleyan 29, a Haney to McFarland pass set up freshman haJfback Kevin Hixson's ten yard run around left end on only his second collegiate rushing attempt with 5:05 remaining.

Senior defensive end Mark Wardian capped the scoring and his own fine career by taking a punt blocked by sophomore special teams standout Pat Haverty and scooting 26 yards for the last touchdown with only 2:40 remaining in the game.

Other seniors that played their last home game for the 'Cats were co-captain offensive guards Marty Haverty and Al Urwin, defensive tackle Dean Filipi, who ranks seventh in the squad in tackles, and offensive tackle Jerald Hill.

"We had one of our best overall balanced performances," said Joy. "We thought also that everyone played well and with enthusiasm," he added. Joy is now 39-28-2 after seven regular seasons at "The Campus of a Thousand Oaks."

Seniors Holder and Shafer on Heels of National NAIA Leaders

Senior running back Alvin Holder ranks second in individual rushing among all NAIA backs with a· 156.4 average per game, according to official statistics released by the

National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics national office in Kansas City, Mo. Holder, a 5-11, 195 lb. senior of Tampa, Fla., has rushed for 1,408 yards in 245 carries for an

average of 5.5 yards per carry.

H9lder's per game average is less than a yard behind that of Wisconsin-Eau Claire's Roger Vann, who has rushed for 157.2 yards_ per game.

However, Holder leads all NAIA Division Two rushers, because UW-Eau Claire is in Division One. Senior monster back Garland Shafer narrowly missed leading

the NAIA in individual kickoff returns. Shafer's 28.5 yard average per return is negated since he is one return shy of qualifying for consideration among the leaders.

'Ghosts' Shows at PSC

Ghosts, a play written in 1881 by Henrik Ibsen will be showing at Peru State Theatre this weekend.

Ghosts, which will play Nov. 20 and 21at8:00p.m. and Nov. 22 at 2:00 p.m., is designed and directed by Dr. Royal Eckert, professor of drama, with a cast of five performers.

Pamela Wertz as Mrs. Alving; Karen Coover as Regina; David Osegueda as Engstrand; Dave Gray as Pastor Manders; Gary Dixon as Oswald Alving.

Ghosts is one of the first realistic plays of the social problems of life, Eckert said. Henrik Ibsen was considered the father of modern drama and also one of the first play writers for equal rights for women, he said.

eru Players Present Play

Regina (Karen Coover, Papillion, left), confronts Engstrand (David Osequeda, Omaha), he man thought to be her father, in a scene from Henrik Ibsen's "Ghosts." The adult drama written in 1881, concerns a tam ily that is threatened by past wrong decisions. It blends strong suggestions of the women's liberation movement with arguments of freedol'l) and duty.

The play will be presented by The Peru Players Nov. 20, 21 at 8 p.m., and on ·Nov. 22 at 2 .m., in the College Auditorium. Tickets are on saleatthe door for $1 per person.

lpha Chi Installs Honor Members

Twelve new members were nducted into the Nebraska _ lta Chapter of the Alpha Chi ational Honor Scholarship iety. The induction took place November 10 in Room 212 of Fine Arts building.

The new members for 1981-82 elude: Sandra A. Behrends, erry L. Cobb, Luella Beth orste, Lois Jane Fisher, Ronda Hamilton, Mary Jane Kent, Shelley McAdams, Michael T. Northrup, Shirley Dale Rothell, Rose Marie Schulenberg, Diana L. Watton and John Westerfield. The program began with the welcome which was given by Dr. Clyde Barrett.

The new members were inducted into · the society following the welcome. The ui.ductions were conducted by .the Sponsors, Dr. Clyde Barrett, Dr. Esther Divney, and Mr. Lyle McKercher.

After the inductions, three special musical numbers were performed by the Madrigal Singers under the direction of Dr. Thomas Ediger.

The numbers which were sang by the performers were: "April is in My Mistress' Face" by Morley, "All at Once Well Met Fair Ladies" by Weelkes and "It was a Lover and His Lass" by Morley.

The 1981-82 Chapter Officer8 were installed following the singing. This was conducted by the Sponsors and the 1980-Sl Alpha Chi president Lee Kohrs.

The chapter officers for :1981-82 are: Diana Watton,

President; Kathy Buethe, Vice President; Lois Fisher, Secretary; Mike Northrup, Treasurer; and John Westerfield, Official Student Delegate.

Diana Watton, the newly-installed president, accepted the officer responsibilities. She also thanked the Madrigal Singers

for their singing and thanked everyone for attending the ceremonies.

The program was concluded with the singing of the Alpha Chi song, "Hail to Alpha Chi."

A reception was held in the Fine Arts lobby following the ceremonies.

Ibsen wrote the play Ghosts in reaction to criticism of a previous play where a wife had left her husband. In Ghosts the wife stays with her husband in a bad situation and the tragic results that occur, Eckert said.

In the designing we tried to recreate a setting that could have been used in the original Ghosts, Eckert said. The wallpaper which looks flossed has been painted on. The doorways a;id windows give off three dimensional detail. "We tried to show what the backdrop could have looked like and how it could have been used with the new electric lights which were first used in the theatre in 1881," Eckert said.

Undecided Test Careers

Career Development Group Sessions are being tested on the Peru State Campus. Dwight Garman, career placement director, heads the career developmentsession and started the sessions off Nov. 10 and 13.

The career development sessions are for students who are undecided and don't have a clear cut idea of their career goals, and students who have decided on a major but aren't positive if they are making the right decision, Garman said.

There are five sessions to the career development, Garman

said: self inventory, self evaluation, career decision making, career exploration and career planning.

Garman said that in the past a few of these sessions have been given individually to some of the students on Peru campus and now "we are experimenting with the sessions so we can evaluate and find out the needs of the students here." These sessions were not widely advertised, he said, "because we wanted to keep the group of student participating small so we could spend more time with experimenting to see how the sessions should be delt with."

Garman said that the reasons for developing these career sessions are to confirm information about the student, to help assist the student in a decision making process, to help more students become aware of their skills and interests and to do some reality tests so the student can make a "good" decision on a career.

Have A Happy Thanksgiving

Budget cuts, budget cuts, that's all you hear about nowadays. The federal government makes cuts which in 'turn causes the state to do some trimming Back. After the states make their cuts then the local community has to make budget deductions to keep in order with the rest. This all leads down to the individual, who it seems has to do a little cutting back of his own for each different budget cut by the government.

It's tough for the average Joe to keep pace with the bureaucrats and their budget cleavers. It sometimes looks like there has been some type of disease going around, a type of bug if you will, bitting all of the government

Allow me to define Education: the development of the special and general abilities of the mind; learning, acquiring knowledge, becoming enlightened. How can we gain. knowledge, stretch. our mind's abilities, or become enlightened from instructors who can't teach?

Have you ever just sat around waiting for an inspiration? The inspiration to get out of bed, the iilspir-ation to wash your clothes, or worst of all the jnspiration to do your homework?

It's the old wait-till-Sundaynight trick. You think up excuses all week long to procrastinate: Monday night-intramural volleyball, Tuesday night-"Flamingo Road," Wednesday nightthe bar, Thursday night-party with roommates, Friday nightdate, Saturday night-date. So here it is Sunday night again and you're stuck with a week's worth of homework. We've all done it before. There just seems to be a lack of motivation and inspiration when it comes to term papers, tests, speeches, oral reports, and general busy work. '

Well if you were like me and had to stay home Saturday night (due to lack of desirable offers) you might have watched "Saturday- Night Live." Remember the skit where the guy was talking to all college

Song and Dance Take Peru Stage

The PSC music department shined last Thursday night, as both the Misty Blues and Blue Collar Workers gave outstanding performances.

The small but mighty band of PSC musicians showed what practice and enthusiasm can accomplish oy giving the audience an enjoyable evening.

Under the direction of Dr. Thomas Ediger, the swing choir opened the November 12, evening bill. Out of their repertory they performed six pop songs ranging from the

mellow ''Cowboys and Clowns" to the fast-paced Neil Diamond Hit, "On the Robert E. Lee."

The Blue Collar Workers then took center stage and rounded out the evening with twelve of their favorite numbers.

Audience favorites of the evening included the 'traditional "Bandstand Boogie," the strange "Watch What Happens," and the Billy Joel smash "My Life."

The stage band, along with their director, David Edris, appeared to en1oy the show.

Round Ballers Drop Game

Highlights of the performance stemmed from Edris and his off-the-cuff remarks, which were always followed by the bands surprised reactions.

The presentation had a flavor unlike former performances, and although attendance wasn't high, the audience there appreciated the work and enthusiasm · displayed on stage.

With such fine performances, I feel the PSC music department is on the way to a healthy promising future.

Coach Charlie Doeden's junior 'Cats bounced .back from a 46-31 halftime deficit to pull within three at 52-49 with 10:20 remaining on an inside play by freshman forward Rod Miller. Tarkio had gone scoreless for the first 4: 50 of the second half to help the Bobcat cause.

Blues Battle Whites

PSC sophomore Morris Lieseme'yer grabbed one of his five rebounds in PSC's annual Blue-White Scrimmage at Peru last Thursday, as teammate Brian Strother looked on. Liesemeyer, a 6-foot-5, 205 pound sophomore from Syracuse, scored 12 points to back up Strother's total of 15, but the Blue squad lost, 69-56. ·

The Whites dominated the boards in the second half, 21-11, behind the board-clearing prowess of forwards Thom Johnson and Keith McKim, with six and four rebounds, respectively, in the second half. •

"I'm really pleased with the way the scrimmage went," said Bobcat head coach John Gibbs; wlio spent most of the game in the stands scouting his own team. "We got some insight into who can play and who can't," he added.

Wednesday, Nov. 11, the Bobcat junior varsity was defeated by Missouri Western's JV squad, 77-73, at St. Joseph, Missouri, despite a combined 49 points by the front line of freshman forward John Lepper, Strother and Liesemeyer.

Head JV Coach Charlie Doeden felt mixed reactions about the play of his squad. "We played well at times and poorly at said Doeden. "We went from 5 up to 15 down during , a portion of the second half," he added. "We tried to come back, but we just ran out of time."

Peru State Bobcats Listed in National NAIA Football Statistics for the Season

The PSC football team is represented in both team and individual categories of the National Association of Intercol·1egiate Athletics official national statistics released by the national office in Kansas City, Mo.

The Bobcats (7-2) are ranked

12th in team rushing offense with 250.1 yards per game. When the other side has had the ball, Coach Jerry Joy's 'Cats have given up an average of only 9.1 points per game.

Senior running back Alvin Holder now leads all Division

Two rushers with an average of 156.4 yards per. game on 245 carries. Holder ranks less than a yard behind the leading Division One rusher, Roger Vann of Wisconsin"Eau Claire and since Eau Claire has not completed its regular season, Holder has a mathematical possibility to earn

They join an elite group of students selected from more than 1,300 institutions of higher learning in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and several foreign nations.

Outstanding students have been honored in the annual

directory since it was first published in 1934.

Students named this year from Peru State College are:

Traca F. Alley, Glenwood, Iowa; Julie A. Brockhaus, Nebraska City; Janet L. Dunn, Chester; Lois J. Fisher, Peru; Kathleen A. Fleming, Omaha; Jeffrey T. Frielqs, Nebraska City; Sandra J.

Professor Retires After TWo Decades of Service

Dr. George Schottenhamel, professor of history and social sciences at Peru State College since 1957, says that he will have more time to do research now with his retirement at the end of this semester, officially Dec. 31.

Schottenhamel said that due to failing health, he felt that he must leave his teaching post. His teaching specialties at PSC have included U.S. History, Latin American history, English history, and economic history. "My main research interest is the Civil War," he said, "and now I will have time to do more research on the topic." He has done several papers that have been presented nationally.

The most recent article that Professor Schottenhamel has had published, however, was on oil in Western Nebraska that was in the Nebraska "Historian" which is published by the Nebraska State Historical Soc-

iety. "Now I will have time to up:date this paper," he said. "I also want to research the political history of Nebraska."

Schottenhamel was born in

Downers Grove, Ill., and served in the Army after graduating from North Central Illinois College at Naperville. "We will be staying in Peru," he said. His

wife, Mrs. Lillian Schottenhamel, tutors English at the Teaching Learning Center on the PSC campus. The professional organizations that he belongs .to include the American Historical Society, Professors of American History, the Eastern Nebraska Historical Society and NEA.

Dr. Lar.ry Tangeman, president of Peru State, said "It is difficult to adequately express appreciation to a professor who has given so many years of dedicated professional service to Peru State College." He added that there are many ways we can and will continue to demonstrate that appreciation to Dr. Schottenhamel.

Dr. Schottenhamel announced his retirement after 24 years at Peru.

Directing Class Stages Play for Grade

Kids of all ages enjoyed last weekend's production of "Story

The play, based on the stories found in the "Grimm Brother's Collection, and Aesop's Fables, was presented by the Peru Players, under the supervision of Dr. Royal Eckert's Directing Class.

The six directors: Karen Coover, Karen Gerking, Dave Gray, Jane Martin, Linda Meyer, and Pamela Wertz, collaborated on the sketches to produce the special Holiday treat. stage composed of platforms representing children's building blocks, a toy train, and play drum added to the

illusion of youth, and left room for the audience's imagination to be stimulated by the unique performances.

The fast-paced_ lively atmosphere captured the essence of the children's stories with youthful costumes, pantomine, ad libs, and one-on-one contact with the audience. Entrances and exits often came via the auditorium_ aisle and caught the audience by surprise. The use of 1 nursery rhyme music during scene changes also added to the play.

Fine performances were given by cast members who were called upon to expi:ess their

creativity and free their inhibitions. Special recognition niust be given to Mike Northrup for his outstanding portrayal of "Simpleton" in the play's finale ''The Golden Goose." '

The curtain call was also recognizable as a work of art when all cast members former a chorus line on the stage apron and attempted to outdo Carol Burnett in their version of singing good-bye to the audience.

The play ranked high with other special PSC productions. And in the future will be a welcome addition among the regular season schedule.

Schottenhamet·s contributions to PSC included his co-funding with Dr. Gordon Kenyon, a former Peru State history department head, the local branch of Phi Alpha Theta. national history honorary. He served on the Peru Bicentennial Committee from '75 to '76 and has been on the Board of Southeast Nebraska Community Action. At present he is on the board of the Nature Center in Nebraska City. His hobbies include travel. camping and writing. He is currently engaged in his third research effort sponsored by grants from PSC and plans to continue his research and writing.

Senate. Gets Results

According to PSC Student Senate President Chris Walsh, be is pleased "on the whole" about the administration's response to the· list of complaints the Senate presented to the administration in a meeting November 18.

Walsh said the complaints were in three areas: the role of the Senate itself, faculty and maintenance.. The meeting, which lasted approximately three hours, was attended by Tangeman and vice-president for administration Harold Deselms. Dr. Clyde Barrett, vice-president of academic affairs, was unable to attend.

In the area of the role of the Senate itself, Walsh said the complaints were directed toward the three policy-making bodies of the college: the College Affairs Council, the Student Affairs Commission and the Academfo Affairs Commission.

"There seems to .be a lack of student input among these bodies," he said. "The past year the Senate has brought up many proposals and only two have been passed, and one was compromised out of any meaningful change."

One of the passed proposals Walsh was referring to concerned the State Student Association which gave students the right to organize. The proposal, _Walsh said "was something you really couldn't vote down." The other proposal concerned the Honor Roll. The Senate proposed the Honor Roll should include students with an 8.0 or better grade point average, instead of the top 10 per cent of the student body. A compromise was reached by the Senate 'and the Academic Affairs Commission, making the Honor Roll include those students with an 8.25 or better GPA.

"We were even told by some members of these bodies that we (the Senate) were too immature to make decisions on our own," Walsh said. "It's getting very discouraging for the Senate to make proposals that we feel are in the best interest of the student

body and have them turned down."

Several complaints were registered in the area of maintenance.

One complaint was about the maintenance in the Morgan. Delzell and Centennial Complex dormitories. Walsh said the complaints were aimed at unsanitary restrooms, unswept floors and scattered trash. But Walsh said the problem is already being solved.

"The maintenance has been better and improvement is already noticeable," he said.

The posts in the west parking lot at Morgan and lack of lighting in the parking lots behind Delzell and the Complex were also brought up as complaints. Walsh said lights have already been put up in the Delzell and Complex lots and plans are being made to remove the posts at Morgan.

Compalints in maintenance were also aimed at maintenance men failing to give proper notice (24 hour) before entering a student's room to perform maintenance work and the inability to shut off the heaters in the new wing at MoJ,"gan. Walsh said a new heating system in the new wing had already been planned before the meeting.

Another complaint was about the hours in the library. Walsh said a majority of the colleges in Nebraska have longer library hours. Beginning last week, a three-month trial of longer library hours was installed.

Another complaint was what Walsh called "misleading statements" in the student catalog and activities pamphlet.

"There are some classes the catalog says are offered but they never show up on the semester sC'hedules," he said.

Walsh thought the meeting went very well.

"The senators who made presentations were very thorough in their investigations and presented their reports without a lot of antagonism and in a calm and logical manner," he said.

Peditoricil

Well it's amost that time of year when you have to start worrying about filing for grants and loans in order to go to college next year. Some of us have enough money or make enough money to pay for college, for the rest of us, it's grants and_ loans and emptying the savings account to afford an education. -

I have some interesting and important news that everyone, especially-those who depend upon grants to go to college, should hear. Recently I received an article from someone that was taken from The Chronicle of Higher Education. The article starts out with the eye opening statement that students across the nation received up to $452-million more than they were supposed to get in grants. This figure came from a study done by the Department of Education.

and

Letters to the· Editors

Sit and think about that for a while. The Federal Government overpaid $452-million in Pell Grants. Now that money has to come from somewhere, and it's coming from the money we pay in taxes each year. I'd rather use some of that myself for my education than have the government overpay someone else for their education. Maybe I'm just selfish and-or greedy, but the Federal Government seems to think that way too. Next year student-aid forms will be compared with federal tax returns filed by the student and their families. A new, 1greatly simplified" application is being considered for the 1983-84 academic year. ·

I guess what I'm really saying is beware, it's getting tougher and tougher to receive financial aid, you had better plan on other sources for help.

Spoutin Off

Well it's our last weekend here at PSC and then it's time to pack our bags and head home for the holidays. It's pretty confusing if you ask me-actually it is time to buckle down and study for those finals but like I said, "it is our last weekend" (a brilliant deduction on my part), and everybody is hyper and ready to party. So fellow students what are we going to do?

My suggestion is to do both. I never was one to make up my mind prematurely, and after a lot---of careful thought I've decided it's best to have two choices handy·at all times and at all costs. That way if one flops, you've always got a back up system.

Take last Saturday night for example. I forgot my great idea of a back up system and only had one option for the evening. Unfortunately my option went out with the boys and there I was stuck with my roommate all night long doing homework. It was a moral and psychological disgrace.

Now you may think this all sounds pretty stupid. Well you're absolutely right. Actually this space I take up each week in the Ped is our highly regarded editor's brainstorm.

Fr!doy,

Y-0u will notice at the top of the page it describes this space as "Events and Editorials." Well the fact is that Mike needed someone to write an editorial each week and I was the most likely candidate due to the fact that I wasn't exactly awesome as a field reporter. So here I am with an easy desk job, and I still can't master the basics.

Like I -say, thiS"was supposed to be an editorial; unfortunately, it turned into a three column blurb of general spoutin ()ff while actually saying nothing.

You see, it's a unique ability that I possess. I can talk for fifteen minutes' and not say anything. Sometimes I'm good up to a half an hour. (Maybe that's why I'd make a great college professor.)

Anyway, what it all boils down to is-I've been spoutin off for the past semester for no apparent reason and now I feel it's my duty-no it's my obligation to this entire campus to retire from my esteemed position.

But before I do take the big exit, let me decipher what I just attempted to say but didn't say in the last 200 words.

Namely th_is: Have a good weekend Good luck with your finals and when that's all done, have a very ( I repeat a "very") MERRY CHRISTMAS.

LJBAARY HOUPS FOR DECEMBER 1981

Dear Editor Today is a very sad day for a number of students here at Peru State. This is a sad day, for we have been given the esteemed honor of being labeled LOSERS. And how, you may ask, did we qualify for this, the most distinguished of all awardS? Was it because we choose to reside on that infamous second floor of Delzell Hall? Was it.beca\ISe we prefer to drink Red White and Blue beer when we run low on money? Was it because we

Dear Sir:

The recent questionnaire, apparently given the imprimatur of the Student Senate here, reveals interest neither in good teaching nor in its improvement; no comments were solicited regarding teaching excellence, for example. Instead, the instrument is exactly what its author calls it, a "hit

Dear Editor, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the students here at PSC and sincerely thank Mrs. Brandt, head Librarian at the PSC library. The effort was not in vain as I thought it might be. What efforts you ask? I. refer specifically to my report and request concerning the library hours here at Peru State, given to administrators at the November 18, 1981 meeting of the Student Senate where this, as well as other problems facing PSC students were addressed. This meeting is of course common knowledge among the populous here at Peru State College,

As a senator, I, previous to the time of the aforementioned meeting, had heard complaints about the length Qf time the library was kept open, or those times that it was not open. I decided that I would research and survey this problem in more depth. In my telephone survey of eight other schools around the State of Nebraska, I found that all of these libraries have considerably longer hours than does Peru. In fact, Peru is the

Or maybe _because we didn't star in two movies whose · theme, in the final analysis, was that sex outside of marriage is _cool (this is also known in some circles as fornication)? Or

list." That it produced results suggests to some that the end justifies the means. This is not the case, in my opinion. Somewhere along the line, an opportunity existed, an opportunity to be fu1ly human. Instead, student government has acted inappropriately, and a New McCarthyism has emerged, soon to be discredited, I hope.

only one in the state to have a 9:30 p.m. bedtime.

After gaining the outside information, I went to the students, those for which this institution of higher education exists. I asked how they felt and what they thought would be possible solutions to the problem. My conclusions were that many wanted the library open until at least 10:00 p.m. on weeknights, and opened earlier than 7:00 p.m. on Sunday. I also learned that later and longer hours during finals ·were a definite need of 'the students. There were may recommendations to the-administration.

Despite the fact that these recommendations had been brought to the Library Committee in previous years to no avail, this being the reason for thinking my efforts were in vain, in a little over a week, our library was ready for a three month experiment of longer library hours. January hours are on this page of the PED as well as posted around the campus. February changes will be handled in much the same way. SUCCE;SS! SUCCESS? Maybe, but there are conditions. Now

This disgraceful chapter in Peru State's history will not be forgotten, not because it represents some fine exercise of student power, but because it represents the failure of students to think ahead; someday, when those involved realize fully what they have accomplished (if ever they do), let them seek God's own pardon, not man's.

Sincerely, R. E. Stratton.

that we have longer hours, we, the students who wanted them must take advantage of them. This three month period is a critical time. We must use the library, especially during those additional times. A running tally is being taken of students using these times so students, be there and be counted! We want these hours permanent. Let's not let this success become a failure. Let's show those. who are skeptical that their skeptisism is in vain.

One final thought, that is of cost. That ugly word that is becoming more and more ugly these days. Can we justify keeping the library open when energy must be saved? Can we justify, or afford, another paid staff or student to work these new hours? Better, can we not shift hours of those already working to cover these new hours, get the same work done, and lose no money? These are the questions, what about the answers. In my opinion the overall cost for the experiment won't be that much compared to the need, thus it is perfectly · justified and I challenge anyone to rebut that opinion.

Library Expansion Request Approved

At the November meeting of the State College Board of Trustees that was held in Lincoln, approval was given to request funds from the State legislature for a study of library expansion at Peru State College and the trustees approved e,ntering into a contract for technical assistance in energy conservation.

A library life-cycle study and the planning fund legislative request for library expansion were approved by the board.

'.'What this means is that we are requesting funds to study alternatives of an addition to the PSC Library, and utilization of found space," Dr. Harold ·Deselms, vice president for administration, said.

The need for expansion was first identified in a legislative appropriation request in 1966. Capital construction requests to add space to the library were made in 1966, 1967, 1009, 1971and1972. The National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education noted the overcrowded conditions in the

library during its visit in 1977 and the North Central Association in 1981 indicated in its final report that space at the-library "needed immediate attention."

Other approval was granted

for LB 309 projects which include a new roof for the Fine Arts Building with Leo Daly Co., Omaha serving as architect. Bids were received for the project this month.

Toys for Children Made on Campus

The Industrial Arts Club is one group who has got that old Christmas spirit, where it is better to give than to receive because again this year the club will be making toys that will be sent to kids who ordinarily would not be getting any.

The Peru Industrial Arts Club Pi Tau, a honorary'. educat10n group, and the local Peru Kiwanis Club, are sponsoring the project this year. Dr. Lester Russell, professor of industrial arts at PSC, says "There are some pretty goodlearning experiences here.'' The IA Club and Epslion Pi Tau have been meeting evenings working on toys, making designs, cutt!ng out the toys, carving designs, and other various details. The Kiwanis Club, like in the past, is helping in funding the

project. The groups plan to be finished by Saturday, Dec. 19. Although Russell doesn't know for sure how many toys will be made, he says it will be around 85 to 90.

The clubs are presently making three different kinds of toys: (1) a model racing car, (2) a toy bus, (3) a pound-a-peg game. "I don't know for sure at this point where the toys will go I like to see them stay m this area," said Rtissell. In past years, toys have been sent to the Salvation Army, the state mental center, ani'I to local county welfare agents.

''There are a number of good values to be learned here," says Russell. "I hope when it is over th.at everyone who participated will have a. good feeling about what they-have done."

Alcohol and Drug Program Granted

A follow-up grant to a Federal grant program which was conducted during the 1979-80 school year has been received by Peru. State and a parttime coordmator of program activities will be hired soon.

Mary Ruth Wilson, director of continuing education, said that this project will attempt to provide alcohol and drug education and intervention services to students and staff at Peru State College.

"The first program was very successful," Wilson said. An example, she said, was that PSC student teachers in public schools made referrals to counselors of students that had alcohol and drug related problems.

"Not only that," she said "but participants were tested before and after being involved in the program. There was a definite change in their attitudes about drugs and alcohol."

, Through this prqject, alcohol and drug education and inter-

'Ghosts' Makes Impression

If a person attended Peru production, "The Silver Whistle," arid their second play, "Ghosts," expected to see the same kind of play, they got a surprise, but a pleasant one at that.

After all, most of the faces from the first play were in "Ghosts." Some of the audience may still have beer:t chucklirtg about a few of the scenes in ''The Silver Whistle" when they took their seats for the Henrik Ibsen play.

But "Ghosts" was not a comedy, although some lines did draw humorous responses at this particular showing. It was an adult drama about a family that ,,c· is by its past decisions.

P_amela Wertz played the maJOr role of Mrs. Helen Alving. She is tormented by her past in which she took care of her deceased husband. The extremely dramatic part was wellplayed by Wertz.

Gary D. Dixon gave a very fine. performance as Mrs. Alvmg's son, .Oswald. Dixon

played a boy who was sent away to a boarding house only to come home later, with a deadly disease and lustful feelings for his mother's servant, Regina. ·

The innocent servant was well-played by pretty Karen Coover. David Osegueda portrayedEngstrand, Regina's supposed father. Osegueda, who was also the stage manager was a late fill-in for one who had to bow out, and was effective on such late notice.

Dave Gray portrayed Pastor Manders, a long-time friend of Mrs. Alving. The strict and somewhat stubborn character was again played well by Gray, who has appeared in several PSC productions.

The setting of the play, directed by Professor of Drama, Royal Eckert, was beautiful and very impressive. It effectively captured the mood of the 1980s in which the play was set. costumes, supplied by Theatrical Costumiers of Omaha were equally impressive, espec: ially a green and black dress worn by Wertz in the first two acts.

Plan Workshops PSC Makes District List

A total of 22 classes are being offered on PSC campus next semester through the division of Continuing Education. All courses are open to students and begin on January nth.

Courses include: Individualiz':d creative writing, science fiction and stained glass workshops, defensive driving, gymnastics and aerobic danceexercise, beginning and advanced adult swimming, stress workshop, marriage enrichment, microwave cooking, games children play workshop beginning bookkeepers workshop and home sewing business workshop, horsemanship, Youth Lawn care clinic, communications in a residential setting, m'edication in a residential setting, and the concepts of normalization.

Four Peru State College seniors gained first-team honors on the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) District 11 all-star football team selected by district coaches. ' NAIA Division Two rushing champ Alvin Holder and stellar monster back-kick returner Garland Shafer won unamious acclaim, while noseguard Darrell Baker and offensive guard Marty Haverty gained votes from six of .the eight coaches involved in the balloting.

Holder gained 1,408 yards rushing in 1981 to boost his career ground yardage to 5 023 good for· second place on ' all-time NAIA list. In additiOn Holder rushed for 139.6 per game during his career to break the old NAIA standard of 127.5 set by Jim Jodat of Carthage (Wis.) in the· early 1970's.

100 yard kickoff return against Yankton on Oct. 24 gave Peru lead in that game and helped give momentum for the seasonending 66-0 victory at the expense of Kansas Wesleyan. Baker was a pillar of strength in the middle of the Bobcat defen_sive line, making 21 unassisted tackles and assisted on 62 other stops for the third highest total on the team. Baker placed second on the squad in quarterback sacks with seven, and recovered one fumble.

Haverty, a senior from Nebraska City, was a mainstay of the offensive line for Coach Jerry Joy's Bobcats after beginning his college career as a fullback.

vention services for students and staff are provided. This involves acquainting students and staff about responsible drinking habits, V{,arning signals and symptoms of alcoholism and drug addiction.

Training in intervention strategies will also be provided to students, resident directors resident assistants, personnei and health, physical education and recreation, student health security, guidance and counsel: ing and perhaps, most significantly, to teacher education Wilson said. '

A counseling program will be included for students identified as having a potential alcoholdrug abuse problem.

"During the first program parties were begun that proved that students could get-together and have a good time without using alcohol. Campus Ministries, directed by Virginia Miller, still carries on this program," she said.

PSC Bu'dget Cuts Reviewed

Peru State vice president for administration, Harold Deselms, said the college will be pinching utility dollars by .lowering thermostats to help meet budget cuts mandated by the State --Legislature. The legislature passed a revised appropriations bill in its' recent special session.

The revision, Deselms said requires a three per cent reduction in all categories at the college. Deselms said, our first priority is to guard existing programs and to take the cuts where they hurt the least.

Administrative heads are being

are being asked for recommendations qn how three per cent · reductions can be made in their areas

"Then those recommendations will be reviewed and a set will be forwarded to the (college) board of trustees for its approval,'' he said.

"Though we Performed well defensively, we were never able to get our fast break going," said Lady Bobcat head coach Kathy O'Connor. "Since both of our centers (Lorrie Curnes and Alice Andersen) fouled out relatively early, we had next to no inside game in the latter part of the game."

Peru led several times in the ganie, the last when junior guard David Miller hit a long corner jumper with 19:40 left in the game.

Though Gibbs was pleased with his team's showing, he named medicore second-half shooting as a factor in the Bobcat loss. The Peruvians shot 39.4 per cent in the second half, after having shot 52 per cent in the first half. "We had some good shots, but they just weren't dropping," said Gibbs.

"I thought we played much better than we'd been playing," said Gibbs. "Ottawa's a great team."

February 5,,)982

Dr. Tangeman Resigns Post

Dr. Larry Tangeman, president of Peru State College, announced his retirement effective July 1, before a group of staff, faculty, and students in the HPER center.

Tangeman said·that due to an opportunity that was now available that hadn't been before, he would leave his· position to go into farming near Chambers, Nebraska where his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Tangeman reside.

During Tangeman's five years at PSC, 'enrollme11t figures have risen from 748 to 855, an increase of 14 per cent. He has also seen Peru being reaccredited for the next ten years. _

Ward Reesman, Board of Trustees member from Falls City, who was present at the assembly, said that Tangeman has brought good relations between Southeast Nebraska

and Peru State, and he would be greatly missed.

Alliance Chairman Keith Kemper, expressed satisfaction in the job Tangeman has done. "His academic leadership through the Council of Presidents has made a difference." Kemper was also present at the assembly. The Board of Trustees could not be reached for comment.

The departing president told the group that he was glad to have been a part of PSC. "It has been a rich and rewarding experience. In the weeks remaining, I will attempt to show my affection and appreciation." Before closing, he gave these words of adviCe to the student body, "Stay positive, work hard, -.avoid rumors, remain happy, support each other, and be opportunistic."

Tangeman, who received his

Masters' and Bachelors' degrees at the University of Nebraska, and a doctorate from Colorado University, has been in the education profession for 30 years. Nineteen of those years were served in the state colleges. At 17, he started teaching at a small one room school called Red Top. He later served as Principal of the Junior High school at Gering ·and a journalism and English teacher at Scottsbluff. Other positions he had held include facult:y member at Chadron State College, as well as serving as the President .there.

Although Tai:igeman isn't real certain about how his new occupation will go, he is anxious and optimistic. "It is real tough to leave," he said. "I have nothing but praise for the people here, it is a real goal oriented staff, and Peru will still go on strong."

Trustees Review Commu,nications

A report on College Communications Skills, prepared by faculty af Chadron State, Kearney State, Peru State and Wayne State Colleges was reviewed by the Nebraska State College Board of Trustees. The report was presented by Dr. Larry Tangeman, President of Peru State College, showing the four colleges have similar core courses to assess and teach basic reading, writing and speaking skills but are unique in the ways they follow and assess the development of these skills through the four years that stµdents attend a college.

Board Chairman Keith Kemper commented that there was good news and bad news in this report. He said, "The good news is that the colleges.have already established sound programs and

are doing some rather remarkable things to assess the different communication skills needed in a wide variety of majors. The bad news is that there is much more that could be done, but tight budgets are going to make it difficult to implement these ideas." The Board was told that one thing that would help would be to adjust the student-teacher ration in core English courses from its present 25 to 1, closer to national standard of 18 to 1.

Trustee Caroll Thompson, Lincoln, cosponsored the original study with Education Commissioner Anne Campbell and has been a college faculty member. He said, "I know it's expensive but look at the consequences if we don't spend

Faculty and staff have been examining the area in response to the request ·Of the Board for approximately six months. Dr. Campbell said, "Now we've just begun to look at this area. The Presidents are going to have to come back to us with their plans for improving and assessing student communication skills. We'll need to translate those plans into dollars a.nd 'resources needed. It won't be_ easy but as a Board we have to be dedicated to working with our faculty and staff to make good communication skills better.,It appears that our faculty and staff are doing a good job. Now we have to find the resources lo let them do it even better."

Bringelson said that Dr. Tangeman has requested that the new president be here by July 1 and Bringelson told the faculty, staff and students gathered at the Fine Arts Auditorium that advertisements for the position would be appearing in the media ning this weekend.

"I have. two things to share with you," he said, "the first is the procedure of the Board of Trustees in the selection process; the second is a copy of the announcement requesting applicants that will be placed in the "Chronicle of Higher Education."

The Board of Trustees chairman, Keith Kemper, Alliance, will chair the Board sear.ch task force. Other members of the task force from the Board will be Ward Re.esman, Falls City; J. Alan Cramer, Wayne, and George Hebensdorf, Omaha.

PSC Music Professor Retires .to .Writing

For the past seven years Dr. Edward G. Camealy, associate professor of voice at Peru State, has directed the Boar's Head Feaste, a medieval, musical " Christmas dinner celebration. "This was one of the best we have done at Peru," Camealy said.

Since Camealy's arrival at PSC in 1960 from teaching at Mississippi State College for Women at Columbus, he has been director of the college choir. "I was hired to teach voice," he said, "and I've taught everything in the music department except organ and band.

"I have a compulsion to write as I have about five chapters of a book completed and I want to finish it," he said, "so I have resigned from Peru State College effective. May, 1983."

He has written several books of poetry besides teaching voice, piano and violin privately which he plans to continue after leaving PSC, he said. And since the early 60s he has directed the Women's Music Study club in Falls eity, the second oldest women's music organization in Nebraska. The first Sunday each May the women present a concert.

Originally from Hillsboro and Taylor Springs, Illinois, a coal mining area, Camealy said that boys there didn't admit they read poetry, let alone write it. The area was a of Europe, he said, where life was raw and it was a challenge to do something with one's life.

It is a hilly, beautiful area much like Peru, he said. "My

grandfather and my dad played the violin, so it is only natural that my favorite instrument is the violin-I started playing one when I was seven years old," he said. "My granddad came from middle Europe where a violin hung on a wooden peg on the wall and it was mandatory for the eldest son to play it." No teachers were involved in the learning; each son learned it from his father.

"I that tradition with my three sons, two in California and one in Ohio, although they all play instruments," Camealy said. "In America everyone selects whatever instrument he or she wants to play."

"I had a hard time making up my mind about my career as in the coal mining area it was rare

for a man to take up music. I had been sc,outed as a possible pitcher for the Triple I pros which was a baseball team from Indiana, Illinois and Iowa, so that made a career decision even more of a challenge," he added.'

However, it was Camealy's mother that decided that he should go to the University of Illionis as a music major which he did.

His Ph.D. is from the University of Colorado at Boulder and his dissertation was "Fourteen Songs by Oswold Von Vollkenstein in the Late Middle Ages." Von Vollkenstein was not only a composer, but a poet.,. Peru will continue to be the Camealys' home after May, 1983.

A review committee from Peru State College will be appointed by the Board chairman with the following groups to be represented: Faculty Association; Student Association, administration, President's Advisory Council, Peru Achievement Foundation, Majors Hall fund-raising group and the student Board member from PSC.

Following the selection of a limited list of nominees by the Board Task Force, comments will be invited from the PSC review committee on the selected candidates and the Board task force will recommend,a candidate to the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees will >then appoint the new. president.

The closing date for application is March 1.

Ped i tori a I -Peru Players Feature Comedy Letters t·o the Editors

Donald G. Miller, director of financial aids, stressed the fact that if you are a-student who will be applying for a grant or loan for the 82-83 school year, April 1 is the time to apply.

We probably won't know until May how much federal money will be funded for the campus based grants such as: the Supplemental Grant, the College Work Study Program and the National Direct Student Loan, Miller.said. The factors are: the

funds for the Basic Grant will be lower on a federal level and the students hurt the most will be in the middle income group, he said.

Rehearsals are underway for "Butterflies Are Free,'' a two act comedy, preparing to 6,pen in just two weeks. ·

According to Dr. Charles Harper, the Leonard Gershe will be presented in place of Jh1s year's scheduled musical "Caterbury Tales." ·

The popular 1969 production features a small cast under the direction of Harper, who is also designing both the set and lighting.

The four cast members include Beth Propst, Gene LaVasseur, Pamela Wertz and

Mike Northrup. - '

The PSC production will run February- 18-21 in the college auditorium.

Editorially Speaking

Well since I. have been given my own column to write, I guess the best thing to do would be to start writing before Mike, our editor, starts climbing the walls or choking at my throat.

When I first .learned of my dubious honor, I immediately thought that it would be hard to come up with things to write about week after week. Although I still feel a little apprehensive, I will give it that old college try.

Not k1;10wing what to write about first seemed to be the biggest problem. So I chose something that I know something about, basketball. ·

I am currently one of four freshmen on the Peru State basketball team. At the begin-_ ning of the year, I learned about how bad Peru had been in the past few years. I wondered how we would fare this year_ I knew that there was a lot of talent here if we could just get it together.

As of Jan. 5th, Peru had lost eight games and only won one. The attitude around campus was that Peru was going to finish like it had in the past. I don't\know ·what happened, but that attitude has 'taken a complete turn around. With a record of 10-11, now I hear things like a winning

record a-nd even an outside chance at the playoffs. I guess thert's a lesson to be learned ·> here, maybe all that was needed was a little faith and a lot· of support.

Now to be fair, I plan to give equal. billing to the women's team. I don't know a whole lot 1bout the women's team, but l really sympathize with them. Considei::ing all of that the women have endured, I think that they .are making a - very game effort. With several of their top players out, •they ·have been left with"· as few 'as seven players, and still they have managed to stay close in just about every game. Maybe their record isn't as good as ·some, but they deserve .the support that the men are getting. They put in those hard hours, only to have a small. crowd of loyal fans show up. ··

So I guess my message is 'Simple. If the people want a winner here, they're going to have to help support one. I think the potential is already there, maybe a little time is all that is needed. So the next time you see a basketball schedule, or any other one; keep a few .of these things in mind and help support our Bobcats.

There have _been quite a few resignations on the student senate_ in the past year but it could be due to natural calises such as: quitting school, transferring, class conflicts, and .etc.

The problem may not be the resignations but that the students who are elected •Or

appointed to the council should have a realization of the responsibilities of the senate and the ·commitment to be made when you become a senate member. Also there seems to be no effort in getting on the Student Senate and possibly when there is little effort to get. on there is

Gener;ic Speculations

As I was sitting in my room yesterday, I was overcome-by a savage flashback of an idea I had during the Christmas break. That was the time when the Polish government, on orders from Moscow, cracked down on the Polish labor union Solidarity with one vicious face-stomping ' swipe. A few days Bresident Reagan announced that the United States was imposing economic s.anctions

against Poland, and if things didn't clear up soon, the Soviet Union would face dire consequences.

Immediately after hearing Reag<1n condem the Soviets and everything they have ever stood for, I was hit with ·an overwhelming attack of paranoia and fear. I rushed to. my trusty globe to find Poland's location, and began preparing to have my mail forwarded to Pfc. Christopher M. Walsh, Warsaw, Poland. After calming down to a state of only partial paranoia, I got a wenderfully savage idea. I called President Reagan on the direct link-up I have_ to the Ovar Office, and what follows are the basics· of my idea for world peace and harmony for all mankind.

First of all, Mr. Reagan should use his little red phone and call Leonid Brezhnev. Demand that the Soviets immediately withdraw from Afghanistan, and let the Poles have a free election. If Leonid refuses, Reagan should use a tactic that our Peanut President learned from Fidel Castro. Round up every undesirable in the country: every dangerous drunk, every

eyed leader of the National Organization of Women (NOW), and all the pseudo-liberal actors who destroying everything right and good about the American Way (such as Jane Fonda and Brooke Shields), and put them all on a radar-guided ship with a crash course for any Russian port. To top it off, we can give the drunks an empty bottle of gin, the NOW leaders a picture of Phyllis Schlafley, and Jane Fonda and Brooke Shields a picture of a man standing next ·to a nuclear power plant smoking a cigarette. These items _ should put them in a mouth-foaming lust-maddened rage to totally destroy, mame, and kill anything and everything that should be unfortunate enough to get in their path. With these wild-eyed deviants.running amok in Russia, the Communist Party would not be able to function, and the Russian Army would probably be tied up for months.

However, if this fails to move Mr. Chairman, we have one more alternative. While they are still reeling from the shock of these rabid, fearless creatures rampaging their country, we can slam them with a mind-twisting show of savagery they'll never forget. We can blockade Cuba, the Soviets stronghold in the western hemisphere, and then pepper the island with so many warheads that Fidel will need a rowboat to get to work in the morning. That should shake the crumbs! Give them a of their own wretched poison. Go screaming down on that little bump in the ocean with every battleship we can lay our hands on, and get rid of every nuclear warhead we have that was built before 1975. Pepper the hell outta them and laugh all the way to the next SALT talk. Fide1 wouldn't know what to do. Can you imagine plotting your next world conflict from the bow of a fifteen foot rowboat that smells like rotting squid?

That was the brunt of my conversation with the President. Needless to say he rejected these ideas.

little- effort to stay on.

The problem may not end with the_ Student Senate but with students in general who need to recognize that the senate is there for their use.

The Student Senate needs student participation and support.

Thankfully though, these manic notions passed quickly, but there are some worthwhile thoughts that did linger on. Perhaps we should trade off with the Soviets, move for move. They get out of Afghanistan, or we blockade Cuba and invade. They let Poland have a free election, or we supply the government of Pakistan with enough weapons to bomb hell out of southern Russia.

The United States supplied the communists in Russia with everything they needed to survive WWII. We gave eastern Europe to the communists as their "sphere of influence" at the Yalta. Conference in 1945. For thirty-five years we have taken the attitude of containment and appeasement, and we have failed miserably at both. The time has come to stand up for freedom and justice. We must recognize that the Soviets wish for a one-world, communist government, and will do anything to see that dream come true. We must stand beside every country that opposes totalitarian states, and if it comes to fighting for freedom, then we must take that dreadful step.

Some in· our country are opposed to fighting to save another country - from the horrors of communism, but common sense tells us that it is sometimes necessary. Strength lies in numbers, and if we are alone we will surely fall. If we wait until the Soviets take over every other country, we can be assured of defeat. But if we fight alongside our allies before it is too late, and if we FIGHT TO WIN, we will at least have a CHANCE to keep America "the land of the free and the home of the brave."

- .. Business Studies

Expand at PSC

Nebraska's four state colleges are becoming increasingly popular as a training ground for Nebraska students .seeking car·eers in business and industry, Keith Kemper, chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Colleges said.

Kemper noted that the percentage of students who are majoring or minoring in business stildies has increased from 10 or 15 per cent in 1970 to over 30 per ,cent in some cases for 1981.

"Business studies is now the largest single segment of the enrollment of 11,964 students at Chadron State, Kearney State, Peru State; and Wayne State," Kemper said. "And the demand is increasing every year with no end in sight."

Kemper said that this is especially important to Nebraskans because a high percentage of the State Qollege students stay in the state, and even in the area of 'the state where they were raised.

"We estimate that more than 90 per cent of the graduates of the four colleges stay in finding their careers in employment here," the chairman said. "And about two thirds of the graduates find employment in that area of the state where their homes are or they attend college. This is a strong indication that tax funds invested in these young people stay here to work for the Nebraska economy for years to come."

The films were on birds of rey showing pictures of birds such as hawks, eagles, osprey, falcons, owls and etc., giving detailed. descript-ion and the natural habitat of each one.

Varland gave examples of the anishing species due to the use insecticides and the destrucon of their natural habitat such s the bale eagle which is not as tinct as they once were, but eir population could go down gain if their habitat is stroyed.

Varland presented a live red Hed hawk, the most common wk in Southeast Nebraska and not so live (stuffed) great med owl. Varland said, that

the owl is his favorite bird and there are two myths about the owl. One myth is that they cannot see in the daylight and the other myth is jf__ you walk around an owl several times, the owl will follow you till his head screws off. An owl cannot turn .his head clear around, Varland said.

Lifter Explains Theory

The trend toward business careers is a major shift for the state colleges over the past decade, Kemper noted. He said that up until the late 1960's the colleges were principally regarded as teacher training institutions and the enrollment reflected that image.

"But as liberal arts colleges, the institutions have succes- · sfully shifted their emphases to meet the current needs of students and Nebraska," he said'. 'The challenge for 1982 and the years ahead is to retain the high quality of , the total education program of the four state colleges Jn the face of budget lightening.

Jim Cai;h, a student at Peru State College in the mid l970s, demonstrated techniques of powerlifting and conducted a general discourse on training methods for competitive athletes .in 'a. presentation last Wedhesday at Auburn High School. The Kansas State Univers.ity student holds the world dead lift record of 821 pounds and has bench pressed over 470 pounds. Cash, a native of Erie, Pa., has been to several Olympic trials as a Greco-Roman wrestler and participated in wrestl'ing at Peru State.

Record Holder Once From Peru

A former Peru State College student admonished Auburn High School students and others to '.'keep everything in tive."

Jim Cash, a PSCstudeflt:in the mid 1970s, gave a demonstration of the powerlifting skill that has enabled him to travel worldwide and break several world records at Auburn High School.

The 29-year-old Cash, now a student at Kansas State University, in Manhattan, holds two world. records. in the 100-kilo (220-pound) class; the dead lift with 821 pounds; and in the total exercise (squat, bench, dead) with 2,066 pounds. Cash, a 5-foot-8, 220 pound block of granite, has totaled over 2,100 pounds· unofficially.

He is currently p.reparing for a championship meet in El Dorado, Ark., on Mar. 6 and is the defending world powerlifting champion.

Cash talked to the group about his background, goals and training methods. He stressed the importance of setting goals, illustrating his message with entertaining anecdotes.

The Erie, Pa., native, whose wife Kathi is an Auburn High School graduate, warned of the perils invoIVed in showing off. "This fellow was doing an exhibition. at a high school and he thought he might do a little showboating,'' Cash said. ''As he was warming up, he butted his head against the gym .wall to give the crowd the impression that he was tough." ·

Cash added,. "As this was a pretty rough school, there were steel bars under the mats on the gym wall. This lifter pinched a nerve in his neck from hitting the wall and sat out in the hall crying during the other lifter's performance."

Cash, a physical education major at K-State, wrestled during his stay at Peru while weighing about 160 pounds. In Greco-Roman wrestling, which differs from freestyle wrestling in that only the upper body can be used, Cash went to the U.S. Olympic trials in both 1972 and 1976.

PSC Instructor Steve Shupe remembers Cash as a roommate: "Jim was an exception-

ally talented leader of a great Bobcat wrestling team. His world record exemplifies his personality. apd Cash felt that weightlifting would enhance his potential as a wrestler. "My goal when I started lifting was to gain weight and upper body strength, because I was getting overpowered in Greco-Roman wrestling," he said.

He soon realized that his potential for growth as a wrestler was limited and that he could better excel i_n powerlifting. "Powerlifting is the sort of sport that you can do into your 50s, 60s and even 70s," he said.

In addition to attending classes and bouncing at a Manhattan tavern, Cash travels the nation conducting clinics and giving exhibitions. He deadlifted 745 pounds to the awe of those in the AHS gym. "I average about four or five exhibitions per month," he said.

Ca_sh, who was 197!1's "Mr. Nebraska," also gave tips on "cycle"_ training, nutrition and sleeping habits.

"My training cycle usually lasts 16 weeks," said Cash. "I schedule my workouts-in such a manner that I'm not using maximum effort for training, buf for cQmpetition."

Nutritionally, Cash must digest large quantities of protein to deal with the stress incurred in powerlifting. "I try to get 440 grams of protein per day, or two grams for every.pound I weigh," he said.

Cash also hedged on the advisability of using anabolic steroids to increase bulk, though many world-class powerlifters use them. "I don't advocate the use of steroids by athletes younger than 21 or 22," he said. According to Cash, steroids can cause "cancer, jaundice and sterility, among other things, but at my level of competition, I am almost compelled to use them."

"Right now, I'm trying to make living off the things I enjoy best-lifting weights," Cash said. "I'm in the process of developing a nationwide reputation as a powerlifter, so I can better do that."

Track Teams Have First Competition·

Mother Nature gave her long-awaited blessing to the Peru State College track team as the Bobcats and Lady Bobcats traveled to Lincoln to compete in the Nebraska Wesleyan Invita-tional.

The current Peru State College Board of Trustees student member said that it is a great experience and I have enjoyed it for the past year.

Lori Berg, junior, Dakota City, said that applications are now being received for her replacement with a term to run from April 29, 1982 until May 1, 1983.

One student is chosen from each of the four State colleges to meet about nine times a year, or monthly, on a Thursday and Friday in Lincoln. ·

With a deadline on the PSC campus of Saturday, Feb. 20, Berg said that any under graduate may apply with Governor Charles Thone making the final choice. for student Board

Financial Aid Situation Tightens·

The next two years may be very hard to.finance for students who are in need of financial aid to help in paying for their college education, because of the Reagan administration's proposals for cutting the federal budget. These cuts will tighten the eligibility of several financial assistance programs. ·

Donald Miller, director of financial aid at Peru State, says it will be increasingly difficult for students to finance their future education, especially for those who are totally dependent on assistance. "Students are urged to write their congressman and tell them of their concerns," said Miller. He feels they should request congressmen to resist any efforts to reduce future levels of spending any lower.

Listed next is a small review from the financial aid office of the changes that have been made and those that are being proposed:

GUARANTEED STUDENT

LOAN PROGRAM: This program was changed October 1, 1981 so that only students from

families with an income below $30,000 would qualify. The possible proposal would be to limit the loan "to students with a demonstrated financial need.

BASIC EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITYGRANT <BEOG):

The grant has been renamed to the PELL GRANT. During the current 1981-82 academic year, $2.346 billion was appropriated to the grant. In December of 1981, Congress approved a reducti9n of '82-83 funds to $2.279 billion. Rumors have,it that the Reagan administration may ask for further cuts to $1.674 billion in' 1982-83. The outloo for 1983-84 is for funding of $1.66 billion. These cuts may effect as many as one-half of students on the Peru State campus.

SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCA-

TION OPPORTU].qITY GRANT:

Cotrgress appropriated $370 million dollars for current '81--82 academic year. An approved level of $278 million was set in December of '81, Suspensions are that the funding level would drop to $243 million in '82-83, and none for the '83-84 academic year. The absence of this grant

could effect as many as 50 current students at PSC.

NATIONAL DIRECT STUDENT LOAN PROGRAM: During the 1981-82 year, $186 million for this program was approved by Congress. Budget cuts reduced this level to $179 million for 1982-83. Administration offfcials may request no funding for the 1983-84 academic year.

<Note: The student loan rate has risen from 3 per cent to 5 per cent in the last year.)

COLLEGE WORK STUDY PROGRAM: Appropriation for this program was set at $550 million in 1981-82. Congressional action will reduce this ·to $528 million for 1982-83. Rumors are budget cuts will reduce this level to $362 million for '82-83 and $400 million for the '83-84 academic year. · If many of these proposals are passed, · a· large portion of education costs will come out of the students So if you're concerned, pick up a paper and pencil and write your local congressman. President Reagan will reveal the exact figures approved in a statement to be made later.

The brief application forms are available at the Student Programs office in the Student Center, or from Lori Berg in Morgan Hall where she can be reached at 872-9575. A board of students from the dorms and commuters will choose three students' names to be sent to Thone by March 1, Berg said.

She added that two or three letters of recommendation from other than administrators at i:-sc, are required for application. Student trustees participate in Board meetings and are non-voting members with expenses paid. <CNBl

Editorally Speaking

By Vince Henzel

Everybody who has ever lived in Nebraska at one time or another has had to accept the ever changing conditions ·Of our weather. Extreme heat, extreme cold, tornadoes, hail storms, rain, the whole works. But the weather I hate most has got to be snow and the winter season.

Now don't get-me wrong, I don't hate winter it's just I like the other three seasons a whole lot more. Winter has its pros and cons. On the bright side, winter means the forthcoming of the first snowfall, snowball fights, and Christmas. It's also a good time to stay inside and catch up on reading. It's also nice to sit in front .of an open fire anq toast some popcorn, or to have a cup of hot chocolate. All of that is nice, but for me I .think the cons more than outweigh the pros. The thing I dislike most about winter is all the extra clothing that you have to wear to keep warm. Coats, caps, hats, scarfs, mittens, gloves, boots, or whatever else you can find to help from freezing. It's a hassle to put it on, go to class, and in about five minutes you find yourself taking a:U off again. You spend more of your time doing that than you think. I can't 'w(lit to put my old coat away in storage until next year.

Then there's your car. The. poor thing sits outside, all frozen, and if you're in a hurry, it's· usually tough luck. I spend about ten minutes waiting for it to warm.· up., which sometimes takes more lime than to the place I want to go. -

But I think worst of all is the ice. How many times during the day do you wonder if you're going to hit a slick spot and end up on your back side. That may be humorous to see some body else, but it's not so when it happens to y;ou, especially if you happen to' break a bone.

The last thing I dislike is the snow itself. If it snows heayy, you could be snowed in, or if you're trying to travel, 'you run the risk of becoming part of one of those drifts.

As I see it there's very little that can be done. You can stay inside, 'or take a long vacation until it ends, or grin and bear it. Right now it looks as though it' will never end, and we'll be stuck with all that old snow for awhile. Just once I'd like to wake up and not see that white blanket of snow. For me winter has been around long enough, and I'll be last to complain when it goes. The only snow I want to see is next winter, which I hope doesn't come for a long time.

;,s Cuts Revealed

MENS

IM BASKETBALL

WASHINGTON, D.C.

In what one of them teamiil;•' gathering, tatives of the largest and important college groups land last week to pl'EMew alarm-and to politically prise....:President Ronald

"Assuming only half of those who drop out of independent colleges" go on to public · colleges, Phillips estimated "states would have to increase their subsidies by more than $500. million." · and the 1983 education budget wants Congress to pass.

Representatives of staM · schools, private universitis"' community and junior colleges;· students .and faculty members bitterly predicted that as many as two million college students will be hurt by the cuts. Thousands of them may be driven from campus altogether.

"Deep cuts have already been made in appropriations for student financial aid," summarized Ed Hanley, lobbyist for the U.S. Student Association <USSA) "Further cuts are going to keep thousands of students from returning to college this fall, and others will never get to attend college at all."

The spokespeople, solemnly facing an audience of reporters and association staffers in a House committee hearing room, said the Reagan education budget would affect all federal student aid programs:

PELL GRANTS

According to numbers leaked to the press, the administratiOn wants Congress to cut funding for Pell Grants by 40 per cent. Only students from .families earning less than $14,000 a year could get the grants, compared to a limit of $27,000 this year. The maximum grant, moreover, would be $1400, down from $1670 this year.

SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY GRANTS

SEOGs, which currently serve some 615,000 college students, would be eliminated.

NATIONAL DIRECT STUDENT

Under the NDSL program, created during the Eisenhower administration, 250,000 students now get low-cost loans to pay for school. The administration will ask Congress to end all funding for NDSLs. ·

took • , , bJit the .wants to cut number of ·ftlem in the to uale and students le the &percent of the loan ·· •alue, make borrowers. pay in.terest rates (up frQm Ble nine per cent> tw<> years a.fter leaving schoo). and. limit GSLs to students with "unmet needs."· · ··

.But f>r. Edward OF the Student Loari Ma;rketmg Association, which atrange GSLs.-- among. banks arouncj. the country, says those changes might effectively mean the end of the GSL program

"Any change in the CGSL) legislation is the forerunner of an incredible amount of expensive paperwork for · the banks (who actually make t.he loans)," says Fox, who was not at the Washington press conference. "Banks could certainly be dropping out in the' future."

That's just one consequence of the cuts if Congress approves them, according, to the press conference participants.

More than 300,000 independent college students would probably be forced out of school, pr¢icts

John Phillips of the 1'1{ational Association of Independent Colleges and Universities. ·

CROSS· WORD PUZZLE

Allan ·Ostar of. the American Association of State Colleges and Universities then pointed out that many statei; themselves have been badly hurt by the recession, and were unable to make up the difference.

He pointed out that most states' allocations to their public colleges haven't · increased as fast as inflation. ,Still others worried about the ability of the 839,000 public college students who now get <lid to hold on.

A Southern Illinois University survey found that 61 per cent of its students doubt they'll be able to continue in school full time next fall, when the first round of Reagan education cut.s take effect.

Those worries are echoed around the country:

Dr. William Pickens of the California Post-Secondary Education Commission frets about a "step-ladder effeet" in which private college students will have to transfer to public colleges, where they will displace the poorest students on the public campuses. Those students, in turn, would be bumped down the ladder to two-year institutions. The lesswell-endowed students in community colleges will then be ·displaced, he fears.

Shirley Ort of the Washington state higher education commission similarly worries abj>Ut a "displacement" of students "on down the line" of institutions. "The question is what happens to the student at the end· of the line."

Ort estimates some 50,000 Washington students would be affected by the aid cut, and speculates, that "maybe 20 per cent of the aided population" would have to drop out.

Asked if the state's public college system could continue to function under those circumstances, Ort paused and said, "I "I don't see how."

• Utah education official Dr. Steve Bennion speculates as many as "5UOO to 7000 students i:nay just have the doors closed on them,, in that state if Congt.ess approves .the cuts. Cautioning he didn't want to sound alarmist, Bennion explained that "a lot would depend on ··which , campuses· lost that many students. If the· University ··ofUtah or Vtah State lost them, they could probably absorb the losses with cutbacks. But if one of the smaller schools like Weber State or Southern Utah lost them, thep we possibly might have to think about closing a campus."

"It's kind of bleak," adds Amy Harshman of the Tennessee Higher Education Commission. "A relatively high proportion" of public college students in the state are '.'first generation college students. These are the kids who, faced with an increased financial burden, are i:nost likely to give up.and go find a job."

In Kansas, "the independent colleges are very fearful'" reports Dr. John J. Conard of the State Board of Regents. "I don't see much hope. There just aren't any other sources · (of aid money) !o turn to."

Covault Key to Victory

Sprinter Glevon Covault won two events, placed second in two others, and anchored a victorious sprint relay team to· victory as the Peru State College women's track team placed first of four teams in the Peru State Invitational at HPER Center.

Wayne Stale depth proved to be the deciding factor, as the Wildcal·s won the men's division with 87 points lo 35 for Peru and 33 for Hastings, while winning the women's section with 66 points to 27 -for PSC and 20 for Hastings.

Freshman long jumper Flagg once again· won _his specialty in his second collegiate meet. Flagg, a Haddonfield, N.J. native, jumped 21 '5" lo remain undefeated in college competition. He improved his jump by almost a foot and one half from Monday, though.

Smith moves in for a shot

Peru State College senior Jeff Smith ls equally adept at handling the ball with either hand, as these pictures frorr the BObcats! home finale show. Smith, a 6-foot-1 guard from Lincoln, scored 16 points In his final home game, as the Bobcats ripped Tarkio 62-39 for their seventh straight victory.

Hoopsters Even Record

The Peru State Bobcat men's basketball team dominated play through most of the game to defeat Tarkio, 62-39, at l:IPER Center, in the Bobcats' home finale.

Peru Slate's victory was their seventh straight win since Tarkio defeated Coach John Gibbs crew, 68-62, at Tarkio on Jan. 18. The winning string is the Bobcats' longest since the 197071 season, when they won eight straight.

Junior guard Everett Smith showed the estimated crowd of 1,500 how they do things in his hometown of Kansas City, Mo. The 6-foot-3 leaper scored the first six points of the game, ten of Peru's first 12 points and 16 points in the first half enroute to a career-high 26-poinl performance. "E's" point total is the highest scored by any Bobcat this season.

The Bobcats opened up a 22-8 lead with 7:00 remaining in the first half, before Tarkio whittled the margin to nine points at halftime and three points with 14:54 left in the game. Dale Purvis' basket cut Peru's lead to 32-29, before the Bobcats exploded for 15 unanswered points, including six by E. Smith and five by senior guard Jeff Smith, who scored 16 points in his last home game. The lead stood at 4729 with 8:48 remaining and Tarkio was unable to get closer tfian 14 points behind for the rest of the game.

Gibbs, the first-year basketball head coach who has guided the Bobcats to their best record in four years, expressed some surprise at the margin of victory. "I guess !hey got to

where they were dow6 by 10 to 15, so they had to foul and we made our free throws," said Gibbs.

The Bobcat mentor also attributed the win to tough defense and a strong passing game. "We wanted to get the ball inside and Everett just happened to be there much of the time," he said.

One has to go back to the 195859 season to find a game that Peru State gave up fewer than 39 points. Under Coach Jack Mcintire, the Bobcats defeated Doane41-31 that year, enroute to a 22-4 season.

The Peru State women saw their one-game winning streak snapped by Tarkio, 67-50, in a preliminary to the men's contest.

Coach Kathy O'Connor's Lady · Bobcats went into halftime tied at 28-all, but the Lady Owls held· the Lady 'Cats scoreless for over five minutes in the second half, while S(!oring 13 straight points to drop Peru's record to. 3-15.

Elaine Kirsch led Tarkio with 28 points, while Alice Andersen lopped Peru with 12, fo1lowed by Kim Grinstead with 11, including 10 in the first half.

Freshman Georjean Schimke and junior Lorrie Curnes each added ten for the Lady 'Cats, who continue to be hampered by a lack of numbers.

Alcohol ln.fo Estab'I ished

The program, which is available to students and staff at Peru State College, is a result of a follow-up grant under Continuing Education Division. The program process is to acquaint students and staff with responsible drinking habits, warning signals and symptoms of alcoholism and drug addiction.

"My office will be a go-between for the dormitories, staff, and students. We will identify problems for students who have problems, or students whose family members have drug or alcohol problems,'' Garman said.

Statistics show that education does prevent abuse of drugs and alcohol, Garman said.

"Apparently two groups, Garman said, produce children who are alcoholics: the abstainers and the alcoholics. Children of

moderate-drinking parents don't have the problems with drugs and alcohol, she said, as the other two groups.

Women no longer number one in ten of those with alcohol problems, she said. Now about five out of ten persons with alcohol problems are women.

She cited statistics that showed that over half of all car accidents, suicides and homicides are caused by drugs and alcohol.

Garman said that Alcoholics Anonymous will meet each Wednesday from 8 to 9 p.m., in the Health Center. There will also be meetings of Al-non, a support group for families. A ·Southeast Nebraska Community Alcohol Program counselor will be available for counseling each Thursday afternoon at 2 in 'the Health Center. <CNB).

ate of Old Health Center Decided

by Everett Browning

As buildings go the old health center at Peru State College isn't very imposing in size or design but it has had a mighty portant mission in its nearly. years of existence. And now, s usefulness over, it is heduled to be torn down. What bits of history will'go hen the old building goes! Not e bits of history that cry out for cognition. Not the ones that porters and television crews ramble for. ·But the common tivities, the everyday things at kept college students warm, d fit, and children healthy.

For the old building, construed in 1889 has been variously a ating plant, a gymflasium, a liege medical clinic and health nter, a children's clinic, a me for college nurses and eir families, and a storage uilding.

According to Peru historian

and author Ernest Longfellow in · his book "Normal On The Hill," the old health center building was funded in 1889 in a grant of "$13,000 for a library building and a new heating .plant to furnish steam heat for the Main Building, Chapel Annex, and Mt. Vernon Hall." It is the oldest building on the campus_ Longfellow said the boiler was housed in the basement of the building and a 60-foot chimney, long since torn down, carried the smoke from the coal-fired boiler.

"Physical training were held (upstairs) in the infirmary and consisted of drills using 'dumbbells" and 'Indian clubs' which were whirled about keeping time to music," Longfellow noted.

In 1947 a clinic for children in the area was established in the building where, according to Longfellow, "hundreds of children six months to six y{_lars, have gone through receiving free

immunization shots and having birth defects located in time for adequate treatment by their family doctors."

In recent years the upper floor of the building has been used by PSC's Registered Nurses and their families as living quarters while the lower level has served as the clinic. A portion of the lower floor has been used as a storage area.

Following the removal of the college health service and ·-children's clinic to the new Health and Sports complex, the oJo building has been condemned.

Dr. Larry Tangeman, PSC president, said the destruction of the building won't be accomplished until a formal request, required by Jaw, has been approved by the Governor and Nebraska Attorney General. He said he expects the request to be approved sometime after the current Unicameral has adjourned.

Inter-library.loan books can be received more quickly now that the hookup has been made at Peru State College to a network that uses the State's computer facilities at the State Capitol.

The Conversational Monitoring System (CMS) an IBM operating system, or an electronic mail system, will make it possible to order and receive orders from the other three state colleges, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, University of Nebraska at Omaha, and the University of Nebraska Medical Center through grants from the Nebraska Library Commission.

The new terminal, which is located in the Special Collections Room at the PSC library, is operated by Mrs. Irple Ruby, reference librarian. According to Mrs. Ruby, the new electronic mail system will be quicker and cheaper. ·

An example of faster service is that a book from Chadron State College for a PSC library patron '

was received Thursday following a Tuesday request. Before the installation of the monitor. the letter requesting the book at Chadron would have been received out there on Thursdav.

Records are being kept at the PSC library to evaluate the new system that will compare the inter-library loan system via the state network and the former ordering of library materials by mail or Watts line. This assessment of the amount of use will also help to evaluate the PSC library collection to determine what should be bought instead of borrowed according to consistent use.

"The new system will offer a more economical, flexible communications system allowing libraries to transmit and receive message, access computerized databases, and perform online computfog functions," John L. Kopischke, director of the Nebraska Library Commission, said. <CNB).

Senate Elections Upcoming

The Student Senate to determent next year's Student Senate will be held Wednesday, March 17, according to Chris Walsh, StudenLBody President.

Anyone seeking a spot on next year's Sena.te must fill out a petition stating that he or she is running for senator, said Walsh.

Those students running for Vice-President or

Senator at large must have 50 signatures, while dorm representatives only need 25 signatures from that dorn.

These petitions may be obtained in the Student Programs office, Walsh added,

The petitions are to be turned in to the Student Programs office or to the Student Senate no later than March 10.

The fraternity has 90 Chapters d 16 Colonies and Peru is one the Colonies. Wellman said to come a· Chapter is a longer rm organization then we are.

Delta Sigma· Phi was started ur years ago by David Eaton nd Wellman said I've been a ember since then. At the time e started we had thirteen embers and now we have ven members and a pledge ss of seven coming in. The ber of our members may be If of when- we started but we eon a lot firmer base Wellman 'd.

When the fraternity started we ved in dorm rooms because we re all freshmen and sophoores at the time. In the last ee years we have had three fferent houses. Each house ting our needs a little better ellman said.

What has helped Delta Sigma · get off on a good foot is we ided to go national Wellman

as; how to carry out rushing, said. The national exposure helps us to get ideas and information on how to operate better as a fraternity. Four

members of the fraternity attended a convention in St. Louis, Missouri last fall and by talking to other Chapter members, we got ideas on things such

Delta Sig Little Sisters Organize

The Little ·Sisters of Peru have initiated 24 into their organization and may initiate a few more. This is one of the bigest pledge classes this size college that the nationals have seen Deb Jones said.

Deb Jones, the President of Little Sisters and a junior at Peru has had previous exper1 ience as a Little Sister at Northwest Missouri State, in Maryville, Missouri. On Sunday, Feb 28, we officially initiated 24 out of the 30 "ladies" that had come to previous meetings Jones said.

Now we are going to set up a constitution and vote on issues that will help lJIS set a good example as Little Sisters. Jones said the tion goes by national • It is set up democratteally with parliamen-

tary procedures.

The main purpose of the Little Sisters Jones said, is tp help Delta Sigma Phi, the fraternity here at Peru to gain membership. Some of our other goals as Little Sisters are. to create a better sister-hood on campus. There is a distance between the Complex and Morgan Hall that needs to be brought closer together. We want to give the school a good image Jones said.

Officers for Little Sisters were elected on Feb. 18. They are: Deb Jones, President, junior, Cindy Baker, vice President, sophomore, Julie Kean, Secretary, sophomore, Pat Ottemann, Treasure, sophomore.

how the other fraternities Little Sister Organizations were set up, what to do about housing and how to be a good active Chapter.

Wellman said a Little Sisters Organization has been started. This organization is a group of girls who will work together, recognized by the fraternity as a group to work with them. We think the Little Sisters Organization will help to improve Delta's image and provide a feminine touch at the parties and.help get pledges.

· Some fraternities are educationai Wellman said, but Delta Sigma Phi is a social fraternity. We are into social functions such as the Tempest Band that played at the Little Acorn Bar in Peru was sponsored by Delta. This was instrumental in getting more recognition on campus for us and it was also a good fund raiser.

Delta Sigma Phi is sponsored by.Marty O'Hern with an Alumni Control Board; Myron Apilado, Jerry Joy ai,J.d Paul Fell.

Generi·c Speculations

By Chris Walsh

At the risk of being tossed in the slammer for plagerism, I would like to entitle this column 'Fear and Loathing in Peru, Nebraska.' Tell the editor to call my lawyer.

During the last week I was told to do a .strange project for m' Independent Special Topics in Theoretical Mass lnhebriation class. The topic for the week was "the perfect president," and it was my duty to research the lives. of all our .presidents from Washington to Reagan, look at their qualities, and pick the greatest qualities I could find among them. I was then to combine these qualities to find the perfect president.

Living up to my reputation as a hard working researcher and academic, I immediately went to my room, listed the ten qualities that a good president

should have, listed all the presidents names on little pieces of paper, and put these slips in a hat. I then chose a president's name and added it on the list to the corresponding quality. This ended with an interesting, yet probable character for the perfect. president. Listed below are the qualities and their corresponding contributer:

1. Ability to get along with Congress-Andrew Johnson.

2. Humility-Franklin D. Roosevelt.

3. Good famiiy backgroundJohn F. Kennedy.

4. Openness to new. ideasRonald

5. Good relations with minority races-Andrew Jackson.

6. Moderate drinking habits-: Ulysses S. Grant.

7. Rugged good looks-Abe Lincoln.

8. Physical coordination-Gerald Ford.

Players Production Well

9. Broad foreign policy-Jimmy Carter.

Well, there we have it. The ten qualities and the men who had the best of each. All arrived at by the latest scientific means and observation. And the riame of that distinguished "perfect president?" Eleanor Roosevelt (at least she thoulj!tt she was president).

Needless to say, my grade for this was not the best in the annals of Peru State, but what the heck-you only go round once in life, so _let's uh well anyway, the editor is swearing a thousand curses on the soul of anyone unfortunate enough to be witllin hearing distance, and he's beating on the door like a madman, and I refuse to let him out until I've finished so this had better end.

, President Reagan has Congress to cut $1.9 billi the federal student aid pn:l8· rams. The cuts wowd affect an estimated five million nationwide. They may force as many as 892,000 undergraduate, graduate, and high school senior students to drop their college. plans altogether, according to American Council on Education. National Center for Education Statistics and College Press Service estimates.

Using Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates of the annual ;ncreases in earning power between men and women with high school, undergraduate, and gr'aduate degrees, CPS calculated that, according to 1981 tax tables, those 892,000 "lost" students would pay some $156 billion less in taxes over the next 20 years because they lack their degrees.

enues Dwarf Budget Savings

.lbeexact numbers are highly They are based on

·m.u:imum amounts of federal people of different income would pay over the next 20 '8ln of their working lives. The :jections are based on a · filing a single return, one exemption, and <;mnputed with assistance Block consultants.

In figuring .probable salary used government that high school Oads t;Jpically earn about five percent more in salary per year, eolege grads earn seven per .cent more each year and advanced-iiegree holders earn eight per cent more.

CPS' cost-benefit stUdy used

U.S. Census Bureau estimates of average earnings of male high school grads ($17,100), female high school grads ($10;036), male college grads ($24,473), female oollege grads ($13,303), male graduate degree holders· ($29,609), and female holders Df graduate degrees ($16,926). The average e{lnlings are for the 18 a!ld over age group, and disregard race, work experience and other variables.

CRoSS WORD PUZZLE

The American" Council on Education estimates some 325,000 graduate students and some LS million undergraduate students will have to drop out before fall, 1983 if the Reagan cuts are approved. ' College, Press Service calculated tb;at about 30 per cent-67 ,000 students-,-of the 271,000 1983 high school seniors· who would ordinarily get federal aid wotild, have to drop plans to go on to college in fall, 1983.

According to those numbers, the U.S. Treasury would collect an average of $7.8 billion a year less from those students over the first 20 years of their working lives. Those students, moreover, represent just the first class that would be kept from or <irtipped from college. ,

The CPS study found that, for every aid dollar Washington gives a student_ who completes his or her degree plan, it can expect to get back roughly $4300 in tax revenues over 20 years.

The administration, which last year announced it would · perform cost-benefit analyses of environmental and social programs to determine if it should continue funding them, did no such study of the fiscal impact of student aid cuts, according to Barry White, who oversees the student aid budget for the Office of Management and Budget.

Howard Bowen, ;a professor of education economics at Clarement College Graduate School and author of "Investment in Learning-The Indiyidual and Social Value in. Higher Education," agrees that the government's return on. investment in colleges in general ·"is better than the rate of return on (private) investment capital."

"When interest rates ·are modest," Bowen says, "the usual rate of return on capital is on the order of six, seven or eight per cent annually. In education, the rate of return is on the order of 11-12 per cent."

Press Service figured the rate of return on federal student aid alone by comparing the cost of the aid to the government to the different amounts of taxes paid back to the government by aided degree. and non-degree holders.

College Campuses

Rally Opposition

CPS found an average annual rate of return of 215 per cent over 20 years:

While. unable to confirm that estimate, Jencks contends "the return to us is that Mr. Jones is going to have higher earnings, and later pay higher taxes." In his book, Jencks estimated male college grads earned an average of 49 per cent more than male high school grads of equal experience.

"When you calculate how mQch the payoff is, you have to calculate how different these kids are going to .be after college," he advises. "They gain access to higher-paying jobs. But the question is: would those jobs be there if there weren't a lot of students going to college?"

Jencks maintains the "payoff" of aiding a student through college will remain high despite a smaller gap between the earning powers of high school and college-educated workers.

Arthur Kammerman of the Council for Financial Aid to Education cautions the cuts wouldn't be all bad. "They are a.Il good programs, but the resources of this country are finite." ·

"If all the.president's cuts are accepted, the government in 1983 will still be spending over $5 billion. It's not as if· we said we've abandoned financial aid," he says.

Campus opposition to U.S. involvment in El Salvador has grown noticeably more vocal in recent weeks in response to President Reagan's requests to increase aid to the Central American country's government. Moreover, opposition movement organizers predict their movement will gain momentum this spring with a series of planned protests and demonstrations around the country. ·

In just the last rnonth:

+Twenty University of Massachusetts students were arrested when they occupied the office of Congressman Silvio Conte in an effort to pressure Conte into voting against the Reagan request for an additional $55 million in aid to El Salvador.

· +Nearly 3000 students at the University of Colorado rallied against increased aid to the Duarte regime.

+More than 300 students demonstrated in Los Angeles the same day that 4000 rallied in New York against U.S. policy toward El Salvador.

+Some 200 protestors-many from the University of North Carolina-Greensboro-braved sub-zero weather to picket nearby Fort Bragg, where several hundred Salvadoran soldiers reportedly are training.

Perhaps even more significant than those and other recent campus protests in reaction to the flurry of administration pronouncements is that student rallies and teach-ins, after peaking in a 100,000-member march on Washington last May, re-surfaced and continued throughout the fall and winter without much official provocation. Campus political activity is typically low during the cold months.

"Students are now playing a leading role in the movement," says Brian Becker, of the People's Anti-War Mobilization Committee (PAM) headquarters in Washington, D.C. "We have several national mobilizations taking place in the next few months in which students- will play a prominent role."

"Students across the country will continue to mobilize until U.S. intervention in El Salvador is stopped," Warschaeur confidently predicts, adding that CISPES has active committees on over 100 campuses nationwide.

Movement leaders are, like other leaders of other campus movements, prone to comparing their efforts to the anti-Vietnam war campaign.

"I was around when Vietnam started, and I personally believe the analogy is very close," Beckei- says. "First it's aid, then a few advisers, leading up to -tremendous amounts qJ aid, and then full-scale military in_tervention."

In many ways, Becker says, the El Salvador protests are actually ahead of the opposition to Vietnam years ago. "Thousands of coffins had come back before the real (Vietnam) demonstrations started."

But "this doesn't yet have the same flavor as the late sixties and early seventies when we were burning down ROTC buildings."

Nonetheless, campus rallies Will be a strategic part of the protest movement this spring.

PAM is planning a national day of student protest on April 29, consisting of "activities at a variety of campuses protesting foreign policy.'' Becker says that over 100 organizations will participate in the protest, which is part of a larger National Week of Resistance from April 24 to May 2. That event will also wrap up with a march on Washington, which Beker predicts will draw protestors' in the "tens of thousands."

Covault and Paczosa to Nationals

Peru State track stars Glevon Covault and Shari Paczosa placed ninth and tenth in their respective events at the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics track meet at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo., Friday and Saturday, Feb. 26 and 27.

Covault, a sophomore from Table Rock, ran her 400-meter race in 1 :01.5, while Silver Crt=!ek freshman Paczosa ran a personal best 2:24.0 for 800 meters. Neither runner qualified for the finals, according to

Bobcat head track coach Dennis Obermeyer.

"I thought they competed well considering the level of competition," !_>aid Obermeyer. "They're looking forward to the opportunity to compete at the national meet next year."

The tracksters and trackstresses will practice twice weekly until spring break in mid-March. Daily practice will be the rule following spring break in preparation for the first outdoor meet at Northwest Missouri State on April 3.

Softbal I Schedule Changes

The Peru State softball team's 1982 schedule has been finalized, according to Head Coach Maxine Mehus.

The Dana doub.leheader at Peru, tentatively set for April 21 has been rescheduled for April 28 with the first game start.

Mar.

remaining at 3 p.m.

The Lady Bobcats have adde,d games with Doane <April 27 at Peru, 3 p.m.; May 1. at Crete, 2 p.m.;, and at Dana on May 4, beginning at 4 p.m.

The revised schedule is as follows:

TIME (all-nontourney games are doubleheaders)

"I think athletes have an obligation in our society because a lot of kids look up to them," says firsr-year Peru State College men's basketball coach

John Gibbs.

The 35-year-old Gibbs came to Peru after four years at Kirksville (Mo.) High School, where he had basketball teams in the state tourney. He has also coached at Stewartsville and Perryville High Schools in Missouri and at Penn Valley Community College "fn Kansas City since from William Jewell College m 1970.

Gibbs, a 1964 graduate of Raytown High School in suburban Kansas City, sat out a year following high ·school and worked for an engineering firm in Kansas City. "I wasn't sure what I wanted to do when I got out of high school, but the work helped me decide. Also, I wanted to play basketball," he added. "Basketball helped get me into college, then my grades picked up once I transferred to Jewell from Warrensburg." (Central Missouri State University in Warrensburg).

Gibbs sees the major difference between high school and college coaching as the recruiting opportunity that one has in college. "In high school, one can work very hard and still not do well because of a lack of talent in the school district," he said. "In college, however, one can recruit and upgrade the program."

The 1981-82 edition of the Peru State squad is, 12-13 in games through Feb. 15. Gibbs' team has shown marked improvement from Bobcat teams of the previous four years. In fact, tl:1e 1981-82 victory total is ·Peru State's best since 1977-78, when the 'Cats won 17.

Gibbs, however, wants to put Peru State in the same class as small-college powers Kearney State and Hastings. The coach feels he can acomplish this task by upgrading the overall talent of the team. "We need to build a good junior varsity program," said Gibbs. "We also have to find quicker players."

Peru State has traditionally found some of its best players from outside Nebraska, such as Indiana native Danny Shouse and (going further back) Chicago's Ananias Montague. Gibbs sees little change from the precedent, at elast in the near future. "Right now, I have to recruit out of Missouri because I know almost all the coaches in Missouri," he said. "Hopefully, though, as I get to know Nebraska' coaches better, we 11 get more ·and more Nebraska kids the kind that have been going to Kearney and Hastings."

Coach John Gibbs has Peru fans cheering once again. said. "It's a lot easier to teach good kids."

Image is important also, according to Gibbs. "It's important that athletes reflect positive values on the court, because kids look up to them as role models."

"My older son idolizes Dr. J, for example," said Gibbs. "On a smaller scale, kids in Peru look up to people like Everett Smith who I recruited in part because his junior college coach said he was the nicest kid he'd ever coached.''

"I couldn't handpick any nicer bunch of kids than we have on the team," s;iid Gibbs. "They're just a great group of people."

In addition to Shawn, Gibbs and his wife Peggy are the parents of two-year-old Scott· and reside in Peru. The coach, who is a physical education

instructor at PSC, enjoys bot popular and classical music, an is an American history buff wit particular interest in the Civi War era. He also participated i1 Peru's co-ed volleyball league PSC's intramural basketbal league and is a deacon of thE Peru Community church. "i believe that I have to put m:;relationship with God first, family second, then basketball third or fourth."

Toward the end of the Tarkio-Peru game at HPER Center on Feb. 9, the Bobcat cheering section started chanting "Coach Gibbs" in honor of the man who has led the PSC basketball program to a level of play surprising to most casual Peru State cage fans. Hopefully, the fans will have many more opportunities to perfect that chant.

TARKIO BEi.LEVUE

As his first season at "The Campus of a Thousand Oaks," draws to a close, Gibbs and the Peru area to have a mutual admiration. The firstyear coach's courtside has ehc1ted praise from PSC cage fans, a!'d Gibbs is likewise impressed with the fans and other townspeople. "The people here are super," he S'ays.

Gibbs listed two maJor reasons for his acceptance of the Peru State job: the facility at the HPER Center and the adminis.tration at· PSC. "I think the HPER Center's one of the best small college facilities in the Midwest,'' Gibbs said. "I also believe that Coach Joy and Dr. Tangeman are interested in having a good basketball tearn here."

Gibbs belives that the most important quality in an athlete is personality. "I like to think of athletes as good people," Gibbs

Inflation Hits Education Co·sts

Peru State students are going to have to pay increased educational costs and room and board hikes due to the increases approved by the Board of Trustees in the Spring meeting.

Dr. Harold Deselms, Vice President of Administration, says that these increased'rates aren't due to the Reagan Administration's budget cuts in the attempt to balance the federal budget. The hikes are, instead, due to the rising cost of inflation. Deselms says the new rates are reasonable though. "The board made an effort to not raise the mandatory fees."

The rise in rates are: In state tuition will go from $21 to $23, while Out-of-State students will

pay $40 instead of $36, both increases of 9 1> per cent. In other areas, vehicle registration will rise from $3 to $5, and. student programs .fees will go up to $16.50 from $15.00. The only decline approved was for copies, which go, down to seven. cents from. 10 cents.

Patti Conway, Residence Life Director, says that becatise of the difference in prices between the Complex and Morgan-Delzell Halls, "There will be a d(lfinite effect on where students choose to stay." The planned increases in dorm rooms from 1982-83 are: Delzell and Morgan Halls will increase. to $375 from· $347, and the Complex will increase from

$405 to $437. Both of those are increases of 8 per cent. Private rooms will increase to $125 per semester, llP from $75 from this year. "These rates. were increased to meet the level of the other three state colleges," said also stated that enrollment at Delzell is up six residents over last year, while is down 19, due to the fewer number of girls on campus this year. The number of beds OCCllPied by students has also dropped from 401in1980 to 362 in 1981. But Conway is optimistic because of the number of students. that have registered and admitted for classes next fall is ahead of the pace last year.

Politician Talks to Students.

Stan DeBoer, Republican candidate for Governor, came to Peru State College campus to discuss Issues with students and staff in the Majors Hall Conference Center lobby.

Candidate Visits Peru

On. his first trip to Peru, .Stan DeBoer, Bertrand, Republican candidate for Governor, brought hi:; ideas for "a New Beginning "

Eighty-eight per cent of the 852 students enrolled at Peru State College, are Nebraska. natives, according to Peru State College enrollment data that was presented along with other State College data to the Board of Trustees.

The majority of students at PSC are from .Nemaha County with Otoe and Richardson Counties next high in student population. Following Iowa had the most students, .with 28 coming to the Campus of a Thousand Oaks.

Combined enrollment at the four Nebraska · State Colleges showed that 12,290 students enrolled during fall, 1981. Ninety-one per cent of the students, or 11,202, were Nebraska residents.

Chadron State College. had 1,953 students enrolled with ·a majority: of students from the Nebrask.a Panhandle. seven per cent of the total enrollment at Chadron State College came from this region.

Kearney State College, the largest of .the four State colleges, had the smal}est amount of out-of-state students attending the four colleges. Two per cent of · Kearney State College's 7,1$7 students from areas other than Nebraska. A factor affecting the high enrollment of Nebraska residents attending Kearney State College was attributed to the location of the college in the central section of the state; as compared to the. other three Nebraska State

· Colleges which are loca.ted Nebraska borders. Kearney State College was the only college of the Nebraska State Colleges to have one student fl'om each Nebraska county, enrolled at its campus.

Two thousand three hundred twelve .students were. enrolled for the ·1981 fall semester at Wayne State College according to the college's enrollment data. Of the 2,312; 81 ·per cent of the student popu}ation were Nebraska residents. Wayne State College received 438 of its 2,312 students from outside Nebraska. The 19 per cent of out-of-state students attending the .college showed South Dakota as the leader of out-of-stateenrol1ment.

Jones, Brownville, his campaign manager,.DeBoer is challenging Gov. Charles Thone in the GOP primary, · and was touring Eastern Nebraska. His .main concerns, which he discussed with PSC students and staff in Majors Hall Conference Center lobby, were agricultural economic problems and education.. ·

"Those .involved in agriculture are not willing to donate their time and land to raise food for

the wor:Id with little or no profit," DeBoer said, and he stressed the need. for fair prices for .farm products; .A leacler in _ ment, he is concerned about interest .rates and the ism that has been mandated, by President R.onald 'Reagan without fair Jarm prices. "LO" commodity prices are much too common,.'. · he ·said, "Lbw income and high interest rates are preventing Nebraskans from·· educating ·their and buying homes'." He calls for reduced interest rates in order that the American dream· of home· owtiersµip. and education be realized. <CNB>

Dorm Closing. ProveS;to be Rumor

The rumored proposed closing ofDavidson-PalmerHalls at the Centennial. Complex will not take place next year, according to 'Dr. Harold Deselms, Vic.e President for Administration.

Computer Science ·Maior Now Part of Division of Natural Science

In a presentation to the Presiden.t's Advisory Council, Dr. David Pippert, chairman of the Division of Natural Science, used an analogy from chemistry to report on how the coinputer science program developed into a new major at PSC.

"I would like to report on .a reaction that has been startedrthe computer sCience program.

All. of the. ingredients for a computer science major are in place," Pippert said.

"We have the hardware, the software, the. approved list of required courses and, at long last, the additional faculty: to teach the major courses," Pippei;t saicl. '.'Jn January we µired Dr Ralph Merriman to teach computer science. We are

spendingthis semester taking care of the many details needed to implement the major alld next fall we will be offering a full selectioil of computer. courses " "There is a tremendous amount of intere8t in this type of program a.nd we're trying to fill a need in the area " Pippert said. Sixty: hours.will be required for the major that is offered in

the Natural Sciences Division with 48 hours ·of computer science and 12 hours of electives in a choice of mathematics or business administration; a minor in computer science will require 16 hours, he added.

"We have tried to package our program to make it fulfill needs, either in technology, business, or

in a .business requires computer knowledge," Pippert said.

Eight new offerings will complete the new. major and Pippert stressed that the new major ii; not computer programming, b't1t a complete major. <CNB)

NPPD Nl}dear Waste Shipm9nt Ptans lndode Peru

"I am personally concerned about the slijpment," says Dr. Harold Dese}ms,. Vice !'resident of Administration at Peru State, on his stand· of the proposed shipment of.spent. nuclear fuel from the Cooper Nuclear Station near Brownville on tbe Burlington-Northern railroad.

Although the shipmentWill be carried on the railroad ·tracks just south of Peru, Deselms · doesn't see the route as any threat to PSC, but. the possibility:

of a derailment would include the whole community:. major problem. with the shipment is the condition of the tracks. they were laid down so many years ago, they. are now in a po()r shipping condition. On February ·3rd, a Burlington-Northern tl'ain derailed just east of Salem, Nebraska. Twenty:-eight cars in all went off the tracks. Concern about a derailment carrying nuclear ·waste is ·steadily

growing. ·The. condition of ·the shipping casks the spent fuel would be carried in has also been guesti.oned, because the casks have· never been tested.

Fred Millar, director ·of ·the Environmental Policy Institute's nuclear and hazardous material transportation project, says the three year plan is because the Cooper Plant has adequate storage for

waste material until 1900.

The proposed route would start in Brownville and cross through 15 different communities before reaching its final Nebraska destiny of Plattsmouth. From there it will be transported to the General Electric Co. depot in Morris, ID.

Although ·the Board of Trus-. tees has taken no formal stand on the issue, many local citizens

as well as groups have shown concern. "If the tracks are not up to standards, then it can be a hazardJo the people in the area," said Deselms.

A Nebraska Public Power District spokesman says the plan is. still very preliminary.

Before any such proposal could be carried out, the Nuclear Regulatory Commi8sion <NRC> would have to approve it first.

Editorially Speaking

I have heard many people talk about the problems that face our college. I've heard a lot of suggestions in solving those problems, some good, and some just a lot of hot air. I wonder sometimes how much is being done, because little results seem to come about. Many of the problems at the beginning of the year still remain. The one that sticks in my mind, and the one I have a constant trouble with is the parking area. _

The parking area provided for students here is somewhat left to be desired. If there is an activity going on campus, finding a parking space becomes especially difficult if you live in one of · the dorms. Usually you either take a number or settle for something that is out of the way. The areas seem to lack space for the number of cars on campus, some aren't very level, some

Library Repair

To Start in May

Dr. Ha.rold Deselms, vice president of administration, has announced that the State College Board of Trustees approved a contract to repair the second floor of the library with work to begin about May 15 and to be complete in late June.

Deselms stressed that although first term of sumlller school begins at Peru State June 7, the library will be fully operational for the use of students and faculty.

"We will have full library operation during summer school by using a remote library site facility temporarily in the Old Gym and a·ccess to library stacks," he said.

He said that it is a most important priority to continue to provide full library services _to students. "We plan to interrupt access to the library as little as possible."

The library floor sag was discovered in -August and the structural analysis recommended that the area be evacuated immediately.

look like nothing more than a mud hole and some are so crowded that even a VW Rabbit has trouble getting. in and out. If some people knew how to park correctly, then more space would be saved. There's also the problem with non-student vehicles who take up our- parking spaces.

I don't know what can be done. There's not much room for new parking areas to be built. Enrollment figures are up 14 per cent over last year and if those figures continue to rise, the problem will only get worse.

I hope that this problem isn't just being put aside for the time being because no one is raising their voice. The problem will not go away by itself, and if nothing is being done, then we students will continue to park where ever we can find space.

New Off ice rs Elected by PSEA

The PSEA has elected new officers for the 1982-83 school year Dr. Becky Fisher said. The new officers are: PresidentMarla Moody, freshman, Vice President and Historian-Peggy Palmerton, senior, TreasurerKim Kuhlman, freshman, Secretary-Linda Fisher, sophomore, Reporter-Becky Roselle, sophomore. · -

Fisher who is a Professor of Education and the sponsor for the PSEA is glad to see freshmen and sophomores taking office .because it may encourage more students on those grade levels to get involved in the PSEA. Most of our members in the past have been seniors she said.

The PSEA <Peru Student Education Association) is a local chapter affiliate.d with the Nebraska and national student associations. Their aim -is getting students together who have a major in the field of education and preparing them for teaching positions. This is like a pre-professional training Fisher said.

Other benefits are available as a member of the PSEA, such as insurance_ benefits and special services as a student teacher. Peru has 30 members that are using these services Fisher said.

Peru Players Give Final Season Show

Classic comedy is alive and well on the Peru State campus as the Peru Players prepare for the opening of George Bernard Shaw's "Androcles and the Lion."

The show which was first produced in 1912 proved to be a success and was later made into a movie, starring Jean Sfinmons and Maurice Evans.

The comic tale revolves around. the famous children's fable, involving Androcles and the Lion. Androcles removes a harmful splinter from the lion's paw and thereby wins the animal's faithful friendship for life.

Shaw used the fable to express this view of Christianity. He displays the various types of Christians who- profess their faith but fail to practice it. The play contains a variety of imaginative characters who through their actions reflect the Christian and no-so-Christian attitudes of the time. leaving Androcles and the lion with the purest unblemished reputations.

Shaw's real justification for writing the play stems from his belief that persecutions then and now are political as as religious. He says, "persecutions arean attempt to suppress a propaganda that seems to threaten the interests involved in the established law and order, organized and maintained in the name of religion and justice by politicians who are pure opportunist Have-and-Holders."

Just as we attempt to surpress the Communists topay because of their non-Christian ideals, so did the Romans attempt to restrain the early Christians who professed a _way of life contrary to their pagan beliefs;

The play though containing serious moral overtones, is stilla comedy for all ages. The witty dialogue and lively characters make it an enjoyful trip into the Roman empire.

Cast members were not only chosen from PSC students, but extended into the community, with actors and actresses from Nemaha, Auburn, Peru, and Nebraska <:ity.

G'eneric Speculations

EDITOR'S. NOTE-For the past three days the author of this column has been in Washington, D.C. covering the only social program left since the Reagan budget cuts took effect-the annual High Society Social Gala. The intent of this gala is to raise money for the underprivileged politicans who are in desperate need of finances for their upcoming elections. Everyone whois anyone attends this event.

Unfortunately, we have not heard from our columnist since he left except for· one garbled telephone message in which he kept babbling about altered and distorted consciousness, painful memories, and overindulgence. The only recognizable sentence he said dealt with the fact that the supply-side drinking concept was proven to be a smashing success. Therefore, we have decided to use this space for a press release we copied from HOOTERS Wire Services.

<Washington-HWS) Last night the High Society Social Gala ended on a happy.note with the announcement that it had raised over twelve million dollars. The main money raiser was the Politician's Grammy Awards which was attended by any public figure considered to be of any importance. Money was raised in this event by bidding for a political figure, who then sang a Top Forty song for the audience, and was judged for an award in this highly competitive event. The winners ·were presented with a free weekend pass to Camp_ David Amusement Park. They include:

Top Punk of Defense Casper Weinberger" Atomic Punk."

Top Losing IncumbantJames Carter-"Bitter and Twisted."

Top Minority Leader,--Thomas O'Neill-:-"Who Are You."

Top Environmental TuneSecretary of the Interior James Watt-"Rock-n-Roll Ain't Noise Pollution."

Top Foreign Policy TuneSecretary of State Alexander Haig-"Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap."

Top Family Tune-Billy Carter-"Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers."

Top Scandal-(TIE )-Richard Nixon-"! Ain't the One" and The ABSCAM Choir-"Won't Get Fooled Again." ·

Top Class Act-Ronald Reagan-"Hollywood Nights."

Top Friend of EducationDavid Stockman-"JustAnother Brick in the Wall."

Top Candidate-Teddy Kennedy-"Bridge Over Troubled Waters."

The top fund raiser in this everit was the ABSCAM choir who demanded that the money be presented in unmarked tens and twenties. David Stockman netted the lowest bid, presumably because he changed the tune in the middle of his act.

EDITOR'S NOTE-We are trµely dismayed with having to print this rude, dismal release, and we would like the readers to know that an All Points Bulletin has been issued for the columnist so that we may recover the $1000 retainer we advanced. him, along with. the case of whiskey he stole out of my office.

Reagan Aid Cuts Start. Fading

Congressmen and senatoin have proposed a variety fJf alternative federal student aid budgets in the last few weets,.al of which are more generous than President Ronald Reagan's proposals _unveiled in _early February. Some officials now predict the Reagan proposals will be defeated. -

Several committees have already taken some action, and though few seem ready to express their will. before April, -more alternative aid budgets are expected.

"Lordy, lordy," jokes Jan Lilja, education analyst with the Senate Budget Committee, "there'll probably be a lot more alternatives. (Proposing aid budgets) seems to be the latest fad in town."

"There are seven new ones every day," deadpans a Democratic Senate budget analyst.

In t_he Senate, the analyst expects the flow of alternative proposals to slow as soon as "the Republican leadership comes close to a consensus." He expects that to happen by April, and has "reason to think they'll reject the president's proposal."

In the House, the EducationLabor Committee has already approved a student aid budget that increases funding for all the major programs, including the two President Reagan wants to abolish altogether.

The committee, however, traditionally is more liberal in its funding than the Ways and

Committee, which will • _the proposals before paimrg them on to the full House or a vote.

The House recommendations

·>!afe just one of five 1983 fiscal budgets .now before es President Re_agan's __ which proposes to end various _aid programs, dramatieally linlit eligibility for others, and eut funding for the remaining ones by as much as 20 per cent. Congress will soon debate aid -proposals from the House Education-Labor Committee, from Sen. Pete Domenici <R-N.M), sen. Ernest Hollings (D-8.CJ, and one written by senators Claiborne Pell <D-R.U and Robert Stafford (R-VT.).

The Domenici budget would freeze aid programs at 1982 levels.

Otherwise, it differs most from the Reagan proposals in its vision of the Guaranteed Student Loan <GSL) program.

Domenici would make families with incomes over $40,000 a year ineligible for GSLs, and require families with gross incomes between $25,000 - $40,000 to demonstrate need. President Reagan would require all families with incomes over $14,000 to show need.

Domenici would also keep the in-school interest subsidy the president wants to abolish, but would require students to pay it back to the government ·after leaving school.

No Longer Teachers Colleges

All the alternative budgets, as opposed to the Reagan proposal, would include grad students in the GSL program. The Hollings budget, according to a Hollings aide, would "continue current funding levels. Period. No changes in the programs at all, except to allow for inflation."

Hollings would allow a 7.4 per cent increase in spending for Pell Grants, Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants <SEOGs), College Work-Study, State Student Incentive Grants <SSIGs), and National Direct Student Loans (NDSLs).

The Pell-Stafford proposal asks for $7.9 billion for student aid in 1983, compared to the $4._;s billion President Reagan wants to spend.

The government is authorized to spend some $5.9 billion in the 1982 fiscal year, which stretches from Oct. 1, 1981 through September 30, 1982.

Sen. Stafford himself ·figures Congress will ultimately decide to fund the programs for 1983 at about the same level as 1982. "The majority view in the Senate as I left D.C.," Stafford said at the American Association of School Administrators in New Orleans in eariy March; "was that domestic programs cut heavily in fiscal 1982 ought to be level-funded through fiscal 1983."

The student aid budget in .fiscal· 1981 was $6.38 billion.

Throughout the years, the Nebraska state colleges have undegone many transitions and name changes. Even though some people who have lived in Nebraska for many years still tend to call the Nebraska state colleges "teachers colleges," the colleges play a far broader roll in presenting quality programs to Nebraskans.

Today only about one-third of all graduating students at Kearney, Wayne, Chadron and Peru State Colleges are endorsed with a teaching degree. The current trend at the State Colleges is not to move from the teaching profession, but rather to emphasize other subject areas equally important to the state.

Most people know that the second largest subject area at the colleges is business. How· ever, while· each of the four State Colleges offers a wide variety of additional programs, each college has received interesting recognition and developments in different non-teaching areas.

A rapidly growing - field at Kearney State College, second only to business, is the computer science department.

Dr. Charles Pickens, chairman and professor of the department of mathematics, is excited about the computer program at Kearney State. He said, "The main advantage to our computer program is it is flexible enough to let the students decide what they want to do."

In the academic area of social sciences, Chadron State College has proved itself as a leader. With six different majors to select from, students may choose a major which best suits their needs and interests.

Dr. Rolland Dewing, Chairperson of the Division of Social Sciences, said the criminal - justice major is currently leading the field of six. "Of the majors, most students are enrolling criminal justice," said Dr. Dewing.

Students at the College of a Thousand Oaks are advancing rapidly in humanities and fine arts.

Humanities and Fine Arts Division Chairman Dr. Leland H. Sherwood said at the present time, about 100 students are enrolled in the humanities department at Peru State.

"The art department at the present time is our largest major in the humanities division. History is also a major in our department which tends to remain quite large," said Dr. Sherwood.

Students interested in law or politics have an excellent career in store for them by majoring in the political science-public administration program at Wayne State College.

Chairman of the Social Sciences Division, Cliff Ginn, believes that students interested in politics, but not interested in teaching should enroll in the public administration major.

-·reacher Education Quality Examined in State Colleges

Quality in Teacher Education programs at the Nebraska State Colleges has been judged to be high by both internal and external experts, the governing board for these colleges, the State College Board of Trustees was told.

Dr. Leonard Skov, Kearney State College Dean of Education, presented a report to the Board from the education departments of the four State Colleges. Skov had been charged by the Board to do an analysis of the Nebraska Teacher Education Study which was submitted to the Nebraska Coordinating Commission For

Postsecondary Education in January.

Dr. Esther Divney, chairperson of the Peru State College Education Division, and other State College deans were requested by the Board to re-examine teacher education programs at tne State Colleges in order to react to the study and respond to the recommendations of the Coordinating Commission. The deans were requested to propose specific plans to strengthen teacher education at the State Colleges. "It's very helpful

CROSS WORD PUZZLE

Skov's report stressed that the State College teacher education area had been successful in maintaining quality. educational programs. The .studyJeported that the State Colleges have evolved from single purpose Teacher Education institutions to their present multi-purpose programs. Teacher Education programs have experienced the benefits of meshing other strong non-education academic departments with a Teacher Education specialty. Presently, Teacher Education majors make up approximately 35 per cent of the total State College student body.

The Nebraska Teacher Education Study showed that nearly 7,500 of Nebraska's currently practicing teachers and admininstrators received their highest degree from one of the State College5. Skov pointed out, "To put this into perspective, the figure for the University of ,Nebraska system would be approximately 8,600. However, with the exception of Douglas and Lancaster counties, a heavy majority of teachers are products of the State College System.''

The study showed that quality evaluation by numerous agencies is conducted at Peru, Chadron, Kearney and Wayne State Colleges. Opportunities include accre<}itation reviews by three separate bodies, the findings"or the study, which used four consultants, all from outside Nebraska, showed.

Skov said, "Of the quality indicators.that were reported by the consultants, the State Colleges can appropriately feel very proud of their service to elementary and secondary schools and students in Nebraska."

Recommendations of the Nebraska Coordinating Commission, found in the State College report, were helpful in validating efforts that are already in progress at Peru State and the other State Colleges. "Planning in-service for teachers with sister colleges and universities is appropriate for coordinating our efforts,'' Divney said.

Suggestions included that the Board of Trustees of Nebraska State Colleges review teacher education programs, increase

the study of communication skills, and develop a proposed system for a follow-up study on graduates from the State Colleges.

These proposals have been implemented or have recently undergone study the report showed. "It's always helpful to know we are advancing in the right direction," said Skov.

Deans from the State Colleges noted that the future course of teacher education in Nebraska may eventually be determined by the level of financial support provided by public bodies. The question of school district organization, appropriate .class size and adequate classroom support may be decided by the state commitment to insure quality educational programs throughout Nebraska.

State College teacher education programs in Nebraska will continue to play a vital role in

providing quality teacher education, according to Skov who said, "The role that should be played by various interested groups in dealing with this problem on a· state level is an interesting one."

The study noted that professional organizations, Boards of Education, lay groups, colleges. universities, the Department of Education, the Coordinating Commission and others need to combine to determine what their expectations for the educational opportunities for Nebraska school children are to be and how they can work together to provide the highest standards for teacher education in Nebraska.

The report to the Board concluded by suggesting, "The State Colleges collectively, and each campus individually' with their major commitments to education, are prepared to remain active participants in such a process. <CNB> ·

Computer Joke File Removed

Palo Alto, CA <GPS)-Stanford students will have to settle for something less than a chuckle when they sit do\vn · to use the university's computer system, now that the administration has zapped a once-popuiar joke file because some of its contents were racially offensive.

The campus-wide system, called SPIRES, included special files that allowed students to communicate with each other by storing messages that other users could call up and persue. About three years ago, according to Stanford spokesman Bob Beyers, some students started a joke file in the system.

By this January the file had grown to contain over 1300 jokes, but many were racist in nature.

Administrators never bothered to screen the jokes, which took on a life of their own. Beyers says students eously developed a system for classifying the jokes as "clean," "dirty," "filthy," 4:>r "sick."

"There were a variety of jokes-elephant jokes, Irish jokes, bi-sexual jokes-just anything anybody wanted to put in there," he says. Unfortun'at-

ely, too many people wanted to put in racially derogatory slurs.

After getting a complaint and then an inquiry from a local reporter about the racist jokes in the file, administrators removed it from public view.

Stanford authorities refuse to speculate why students especially liked to enter_ ethnic and racial jokes into the system.

But other experts in humor aren't surprised.

"Sick jokes and ethnic slurs have always been around," says Christopher Geist, a professor of popular culture at Bowling Green and a collector of sick jokes. "The only thing new is using the computer to tell them. In colonial times, you could fine that type of humor in the newspapers. It's not a new phenomenon at all."

Geist guesses the anonymity of the Stanford joke tellers spared them the usual social inhibitions against racism. "In an anonymous situation like that, it's the same as writing on a bathroom wall. There's safety in anonymous expression."

PSC Takes Fourth. in Tourney

The Peru State softball team tied for fourth in the Peru State Invitational Softball Tournament out of seven teams participating. Coach Maxine Mebus' Lady Bobcats. finished 1-2 Friday .to put their season record at 3-4.

Mayville State College and the University of North Dakota each went undefeated during the tourney which was cancalled Saturday due to inclement weather. Highland Community College. was third with a 2-1 record, followed by Peru State, Minot State and Chadron State with 1-2 records while Bellevue brought up the rear with an 0-3 mark.

From a Peru State standpoint, freshman pitcher Judy Pourtre provided the highlight of the tourney with a no-hit game against Bellevue in her best college start. Poutre allowed one earned run in the Lady 'Cats 12-2 win, while walking four batters

and striking out (three) Lady Bruins. The Wymore native retired nine of the first ten batters she faced.

Senior right fielder Jackie Halterman smacked three doubles in three trips to the plate to help the Lady 'Cat cause driving in three runs. belted Bellevue pitching for 11 hits in the runaway.

The Lady 'Cats saw matters from the BeUevue side of the fence later Friday, as they were swamped by Minot State 12-4 and Mayville State 16-3.

Peru ·state took a 4-3 lead against Minot after two innings.

Catcher Kim Hill and center fielder Carol Latham both walked to open the game. After· two wild pitches that scored Hill first baseman Sondra Stanley grounded to second to bring in Latham for a 2-0 Lady 'Cat lead. The Minot pitched continued to have control problems in the second inning, as fielder

George Schimke walked with cae out and went to second on a wild pitch. Pitcher Barb Peterson was clipped by a pitCh, Latham walked again and third baseman Deb Long brought Schimke and Peterson home with a sharp single, closing out the Bobcat scoring. Minot scored two runs in the third inning to take the lead for good and then exploded for five insurance runs in the sixth inning. ,

The Lady 'Cats were never in the game against Mayville State, as the Comets scored eight runs in the second inning off Poutre and some shaky defense, before adding at least one run in each subsequent inning.

Peru got its first run in the first inning on walks by Hill and Latham and an infield grounder by Stanley. The Lady 'Cats added two runs in the fifth, but they were insufficient against a powerful Mayville offensive attack.

The PSC men's track team had a tougher time at Maryville, scoring but one point. The 400-meter relay team of freshman Jeff George, Tony George, Leroy Behrends and sophomore Doug Barlow placed fifth with a time of 47.96 seconds.

Football Lettermen Return

The PSC Fall, 1982 football team features 35 letterwinners from the 1981 squad, according to Head, Coach Jerry Joy. Joy, who enters his eighth year at "The Campus of a Thousand Oaks" with a cumulative record of 39-28-2 aftel' a 7-2 season last year, is emphasizing "strength, endurance and agil- · ity" in spring conditioning drills that his players are performing.

The Bobcat gridders spend three days per week lifting weights down ip the bowels of Majors Hall. Peru State football players supplement their weight training exercises to loosen up their muscles. ·

"We'll work on offensive and defensive plays, in addition. to specialty team work,"' said Joy. As an added twist, all spring work will. take place in the HPER Center, to repair work in progress in the Oak Bowl and baseball workouts on the outdoor practice field.

The Bobcats have five lettermen returning who will be seniors in 1982: Larry Benton, defensive back froni Tampa, Fla.; Ben Egger, Waverly offensive tackle; Dan King, Lincoln center; Mitch Egger, Waverly offensive tackle and Ben's younger ·brother; and Anthony Roberts, defensive end - from Columbus, Ohio.

Seventeen Bobcats return for their junior year in 1982: Mark Sievers, Lincoln quarterback; Doug Barlow, Lincoln wide receiver; Steve Adams, wide receiver fr.om Granite City, ID.; Neil Wolfe, Union defensive back; Jim Parrish, Falls City linebacker; Tony Niday, Wymore defensive back; Anthony Riley, Lincoln running back;

Dr. Pitfs to Retire

Looking forward to playing golf all the year around, Dr. Ervin R. Pitts announces his retirement from Peru State College effective June 30, 1982.

Boyd .Marquardt, Fremont linebacker; Mark Howell, Auburn linebacker; Brad Osthus, Plattsmouth offensive guard; Pat Haverty, Nebraska City defensive tackle; Bob Bowman, Plattsmouth offensive tackle; Dennis Damm, Lincoln defensive tackle; Randy Paczosa, Silver Creek offensive guard; Dan Konfrst, Murray wide receiver; Todd McFarland, tight end from Granite City, Ill.; and Perry Scott, defensive tackle from Tampa, Fla.

Peru State welcomed 13 upcoming sophomores back for another year, including: Alan Carothers, Wisner quarterback; Willie Mingo, Tampa, Fla., wide receiver; Anthony Perkins, Lincoln defensive back; Jeff George, running back from Tampa, Fla.; Wilbert Lock, wide receiver from Tampa, Fla.; David Pasley, running back from Tampa, Fla.; Wally Dalrymple, Scottsbluff linebacker;· Todd Ross, Syracuse noseguard; Jon Jenkins, Johnson offensive tackle; Kelly Juhl, tight end from Irwin, Ia.; Randy Simpson, Peru defensive end; Brad Hesser, Adams split end; and Mark Kechley, Hickman kicker.

Pitts, professor of Health and Physical Education, has been at Peru State College since 1965, he said. With 35 years in education, he has devoted nearly 18 years to students at Peru State College.

"The things that I. will miss tremendously are the young men and women students at Peru and the relationships with other faculty members that have grown stronger through the years. We have such a fine faculty here; I. sometimes wonder if stuclents truly appreciate them," Pitts said: "And I am ·always proud of how well Peru students do out on the job."

Pitts, who- received his degrees from the University of Missouri, at Columbia, coached at Bremerton, Wash., and San Diego, while serving stints in the service during World War II and the Koren conflict.

While at Peru State College the athletics educator has seen a significant change on campus with the building of the HPER Center that was dedicated in October, 1980.

"For years," he said, "when we invited prospective students to campus, we gave them tours of inadequate sports facilities that were no better than Class B or C high school facilities."

"Now " he said "The HPER Center has added prestige to the athletic program and to the campus. Philosophically, I am biased, but I really believe that a strong athletic program adds to the collegiate life for all students and staff."

"It is impossible to adequately state proper appreciation to Dr. Pitts for the many years of respected professional. service that he has given to the College," Dr. Larry Tangeman,. president of PSC said. "His professional contributions have been appreciated and respected by his colleagµes, his students, and by me."

The 1982 Basketball Program saluted Dr. Pitts with the following attribution:

"A gentleman of extremely high character-a person with a genuine interest in all studentsa teacher respected by allcoach-a dedicated educatoralways willing to to talk to-a competitor-friend.''

Golf Team Depends on Experience

The Peru State golf team features four lettermen returning from last year's squad, according to Coach John Gibbs. Gibbs, who succeeds long-time mentor Erv Pitts, laments the lack of depth among the Peru State linksters. "Right now, we just need to get more people playing,'' he said. "In the future, we're going to talk to good athletes who are golfers and try to get them out."

In the meantime, Peru has a gOQd base to build on, thanks to veteran Charlie Doeden, Tim Knaak, Jay Knaak and· Jeff

Gerdes. Doeden, a senior from Nebraska City, placed fourth in the 1981 NAIA District 11 meet with a 77 and hopes to better his mark this season. Plainview sophomore Tim Knaak shot an 80 at the district meet and was a consistent placer for the Bobcats.

Gibbs hopes that the Bobcats can edge past last year's runnerup Midland Lutheran, while unseating 1981 champ Kearney State. "We hope to have a competitive team this year while trying to get more numbers for· next year."

Leaks in Roof Rep.aired

The Fine Arts building is being reroofed due to the repeated leaks in the old one, according to Dr. Larry Tangeman, President of Peru State College.

Dr. Tangeman said that the roof was constantly in need of repairs. Last summer, a Colorado who recommended that the building be reroofed.

Dr. Tangeman said that the project had to be delayed until now mainly because warm weather is needed to keep the tar in a workable condition.

The reroofing is a result of LB309, a law passed several years ago to provide money attempting to upgrade state buildings, said Tangeman.

According to Dr. Tangeman, many buildings on campus have benefitted by LB309. Some of the buildings on campus that have been repaired as a result of this law include the Administration building, the old gym, the Science Hall and the Education building.

"This bill has done more for us than any other institution in the state," said Dr. Tangeman.

The contract was given to A-1 Roofing Company, Inc. of Lincoln. The cost of the reroofing was set at $35,300, Dr. Tangeman added.

An elevator for the handicapped will also be installed in the Fine Arts Building, said Dr. ·Tangeman.

student and town cooperation. Two senate members will be attending the Peru Chamber of Commerce Meeting, Cogswell said, to help the student and town relationship. ··

Cogswell said the senate is hoping to set up office hours a couple of days a week where there will be a senate member to talk to the students who may have any complaints. Student Senate meetings are every Wednesday night at 6:00 p.m. in Don Hosutt's office and the students are welcome to come and join the meeting. We would like to see more participation from the student body, Cogswell said.

Tornado Tree

Tornado season has once again hit the.Midlands and this year school officials are well prepared.

According to Dr. Myron Apilado, Dean for Student Development, each campus building has been equipped with a tornado emergency map. The map is located near the main entrance, instructing building occupants where to seek shelter

The college affairs committee has also established a calling tree. In the event of a tornado watch, President Tangeman will initiate a warning to be sent out to all campus buildings. This is done to alert PSC students, faculty and staff to the possibility of bad weather conditions·.

·Paul Fell is included in cartoon book to be published nationwide.

Fell Published Nationally

A May national distribution date is planned for a booklet containing prize-winning editorial cartoons including one drawn by Paul Fell, assistant professor of art at PSC, a Nebraska media cartoonist.

Fell, cartoonist for Maverick Media, the Hastings Daily Tribune, the Omaha Sun newspapers and the Lincoln Journal, won an ·honorable mention and a $50 prize from the Small Business Foundation of America. Inc in its third annual

national small business editorial cartoon contest. The cartoon appeared in the Dec. 10. 1981, issue of ''Thursday," a Maverick Media publication, and illustrates the effect of high interest rates on small businesses.

Fell has won first and third places nationally in cartoon competition for U.S. weekly newspapers from the National Newspaper Association. He has taught at Peru State College since 1975. <CNB)

Army ROTC to Start

Another meeting of students who are interested in participating in an Army ROTC program at Peru State College was held Thursday, April 15, in the· Fine Arts Building auditorium.

Dr. Clyde Barrett, vice president for academic affairs at PSC, said the response to the early April meeting with ROTC officers from Creighton University and UNO, warranted further planning in the new program on the Campus of a Thousand Oaks. ROTC faculty, who were at the earlier meeting included: Col Thomas W. Johnson, professor of Military Science and Commandant of ROTC at Creighton University, Capt. David J. Ralphs, assistant professor of Military Science at Creighton and Capt. John L. Shirk, assistant professor of Military Science at Creighton.

A questionnaire soliciting the level of interest of male and female students indicated that 27 PSC students are interested in being involved in an ·ROTC program and 18 are interested in taking military science courses on campus. Students who complete the advanced program have an option of entering active duty or of serving in the reserves or

National guard. Active duty starting salary is $16,500. To qualify those who have not taker. the basic courses for entry into advanced ROTC, a summer camp is offered at Fort Knox, Kentucky.

Paul Kruse, director of the Instructional Media Center, wh0 distributed the questionnaire, said that this is an alternative for students who want to come tr. college but can't afford to.

"Students who are accepted in the ROTC program can receive a stipend of up to $200 per month and 75 per cent of their tuition,'· Kruse said.

A summer camp in Fort Knox. Ky., is available for up-coming juniors and seniors who want to enter the advanced program w.ith an obligation for service. Students attending this six-week summer camp receive room, board, travel expenses and approximately $540. Six different camp dates are scheduled with the earliest starting in May.

Kruse stressed that upper class students must make a committment in their junior year in order to receive the scholarshio benefits and a rank of Second· Lieutenant at commencement. (CNBl

Wayne Professor Talks on ·Po1and

by Kent W. Propst

Students in America's colleges and universities often take for granted certain rights and privileges. They can, for instance, choose if and where they want to study. They can select their class schedule from a variety of electives.

If the students feel unhappy with a particular major or about the individual college they attend, they can switch majors or transfer to anotherinstitutton.

These academic freedoms enjoyed by college students in the United States are .not universal. A professor from Wayne State College had an opportunity recently to gain a first-hand glimpse of higher education under a different political system, that of Poland. She found out that college life in Poland was very different indeed from that which American students enjoy.

Dr. Barbara (Bobbye) Lupack, an English teacher at Wayne State since 1978, was sent to Poland in September under a · ''ederal Fulbright grant. She was to teach English at the University of Wroclaw until June.

The insight she gave into the Polish system of higher education reveals that freedoms American students take for granted are simply unheard of in Poland. Other privileges won through the efforts of the independent union Solidarity were implemented only briefly and lost on Dec. 13, when troops and tanks rolled onto the nation's campuses.

"Everything is going to change now," Dr. Lupack said. "From the summer of 1980 with the emergence of Solidarity, through December of 1981, there was a tremendously relaxed intellectual atmosphere at _the universities.''

''There was a feeling that the situation-economically, politically, culturally-could change it really was wonderful to observe, because they were beginning to feel the spirit of independence," Dr. Lu pack said. "Obviously, that's all going to change."

In America, almost anyone who wishes to go to college can do so. But in Poland, colleges have what Dr. Lupack termed "a rather difficult admissions policy. I would say that between one of five and one of 10 are eventually admitted," due to a "very rigorous" pre-entrance examination. Only "the cream of the crop" are allowed to enroll.

Through American financial aid channels, a majority of American students receive some help in · paying for their education. But most U.S. students bear the majority of the financial burden, not to mention such things as books, personal materials and living expenses.

Polish students, on the other hand, are subsidized by the government, which is a fact that the government brings up all too frequently, unfortunately," Dr. Lupack said."everything they use except notebooks. and personal materials are provided by the government."

Through Solidarity-led reforms, other changes took place on Polish campuses. Some censorship was lifted. "I was teaching a course in 'The Politically Censored Novel,'" Dr. Lupack noted. "That is something that could never be taught in Poland prior to 1980 <and the formation of Solidarity>."

"P}ays that had been banned in prior years were produced," she continued. "Literature that was banned was able to be brought into the libraries. Now, all of that has changed."-

Contrary to the U.S. system of higher education, "There is no such thing as an elective course in Poland. (They (the students) are able to choose their major· area," Dr. Lupack said.

"For instance, the students at our institute <University of Wroclaw) could choose whether they wanted to go into English Literature, Inter-American Literature, or Interlinguistics. Once they made that choice, any kind of elective process is over," Dr. Lupack said.

"All of the students have to follow the same.kind of regimen. They must take six to seven hours, depending on whether. they are men or women, of military training. They also have to take upwards of 10 hours per week of courses called 'Philosophy,' a euphamism for Marxism and Leninism," she said. "Other courses are chosen for them. That's mandated by the government."

Full-time enrollment in American colleges and universities is generally considered to be 12 credit hours or more per semester, with class loads rarely exceeding 20 credit hours. The remainder of the time is spent in study and research, participation in campus organizations and other extra-curricular activities, or socially.

Polish studeflts are literally full-time scholars. "Students, between their freshmen and sophomore years, are expected to spend between Tl and 40 hours per week in class,'' Dr. Lupack with upperclassmen spending from 32 to 35 hours weekly in class.

Despite academic reforms pushed through by Solidarity, there was a "tremendous feeling of depression, of pessimism among the students': even before the declaration of martial law, Dr. Lupack said. This was partially because "they knew they were not going to be placed in the areas of which they were preparing themselves."

When student strikes began last October to protest an illegal action on the part of Polish authorities, the situation on the campuses worsened. "I think the strikes clearly were a factor that contributed to the imposition of martial law,'' Dr. Lupack said.

She said the student strikes resulted from the violation of a Solidarity-mandated change that called for direct election of campus rectors (deans). "Qualified people were getting the positions, no longer simply (Communist) Party officials," Dr. Lupack said.

In October of 1981, a rector at · the University in Radom was illegally elected. Students there protested. "The following week the students at (the University of) Warsaw went on strike to support the students at Radom," Dr. Lupack said. Then, "students at all of the other universities went on strike, and faculty went on short strikes to support the students."

What happened next signalled the violent end to all the hard-fought academic reforms.

On Dec. 13, martial law was declared and all campuses occupied by the military.

Both _students and professors were "brutally beaten," according to Dr. Lupack. "Two professors in our city (Wroclaw) to my knowledge have died as a result of the militia. It's been confirmed that they died as a

result of their beliefs. which were pro-Solidarity.''

"Professors now have to. undergo what is known as a. 'verification procedure,' as do many or all of the students," Dr. Lupack said. "The verification procedure they use for professors is very much like the procedure they use for the journalists-of the 7,000 faculty and journalists in Poland, only 1,500 are going to be retaineP:,"

"All university printing presses have been destroyed, as have. all of the private printing presses throughout Poland,'' Dr. Lupack said.

Dr. Lu pack als(} said that "Military commissars now preside over the rectors at all universities."

In that one day, Dec. 13, all of the academic freedoms Polish students had briefly enjoyed were crushed.

"Polish students were banding together like students in the United States did in the '60's,'' Dr. Lupack observed. "They were able to discuss philosophy or talk politics" in public, "things that they could not have vocalized- on in earlier years."

"Due to the economics situation, the social life was different from the social life students would experience in the U.S. Students (in Poland) simply could not ·afford to go to the movies or to go out for any kind of recreation, so there was a definite emphasis on simply getting together and talking," Dr. Lupack explained.

The Lupack's spent 10 days in POiand under. martial law. They were unable to let their parents know they. were safe, and were denied any direct contact with the outside world.

When they were finally allowed to leave Poland, Bobbye's first action was to call her father in Forrest Hills, N.Y. "My dad thought we were still in Poland when we called him from Cologne <West Germany), and I though he was going to have a heart attack when he realized we'd escaped safely."

Despite all she had been through, Bobbye said she "expressed an interest in going back to Poland. But the American government is a little reluctant at this point to send us back there."

The "traumatic ordeal" in Poland has quite gbviously left its mark on the Lupacks. It has undoubtedly heightened her appreciation for the system of higher education in America.

As for Poland, she observed that "the situation is such that the same atmosphere which existed in Poland prior to December 13, 1981, will never be able to exist in Poland again."

Campus Vandalism

Malicious damage to the motor vehicle property of PSC students on campus is the concern of head Peru State officials. President Larry geman and Dr. Myron Apilado are determined in their effort to stop such meaningless destruction.

According to Apilado, efforts are being made to investigate such incidents and offenders will be severely reprimanded, Lights have been installed in campus parking lots to help insure the future safety of motor vehicles.

Apilado urges students with information about the current vandalism problem to come forward in order to prevent further damage.

I personally:llOpe that it settles down for a number of reasons. The spring wheat crop will be damaged severely if the cold and ice continue. The spring baseball and softball teams were not getting the proper practice having to ba_ttle the odds.

Spring to me, is a time of recreation, work in the field,

green grass and nice warm weather. It's hard to get spring fever if there's no spring around. Spring holidays will be ruined and no one will even get a chance to enjoy it before summer is here. Spring turns the grass green, the trees are in bloom which makes our campus look so very attractive. It's great to see people mingling about, talking to each other and having a good time!

Well maybe all I'm doing is letting off a little steam, but I'm sure I'm not alone. Let's get this spring rolling, and a little change of weather will make the scenery look a whole lot better.

Generic Speculations

by Chris Walsh

In the past few weeks there has been a phenominal amount of discussion about the possibility of nuclear waste being transported on the tracks just east of Peru. From one mutant to another, I have to say the idea is not all that appealing. There are a number of factors to be considered when discussing this issue, not the least. being that the Cooper Nuclear Station .has "adequate storage for the waste until 1990." So what is the use of transporting the waste materials now? By 1990 We (the U.S.) will have been involved in a "limited" nuclear war and the Cooper plant can just disperse its waste into the atmosphere with the rest of the radioactive fallout.

And what about those railroad tracks east of town? From what I have heard they should have been banned from use years ago. If a train carrying nuclear waste should just happen to derail it would reek havoc on the population in the area. The mascot for .·· this school would have to be changed to the Peru State College Mutants. And what about the agriculture of the region? I've heard of mass, fertilizing, but that's a helluva way to go about it.

-Another question I have about · the plan is the route that was picked. It seems kind of silly to ·me to go through a major population center like Peru (not to mention Lincoln) and travel through a major portion of the state just to get to .Plattsmouth. In view of the fact that the proposed·route goes so far out of the way, I did some undercover investigative reporting· and .discovered that the plan was developed by an agent of the United States Postal Service.

But wait folks, the plot deepens. I was in Lincoln the other day and just happened to hear a few senators discussing Peru State. Well, the way it turns out is that the state budget needs to be cut even more, and you guessed it-Peru is on the chopping block. Unfortunately for'the senators (but fortunately for us l it would be highly undesirable politically to close the college at this time. So enter Cooper Nuclear Plant. The plan is to·ship the nuclear waste on the old decrepid tracks outside of Peru, derail the train, and hope that the ·shipping tanks rupture. This would take care of any necessity to close the college legislatively. Without getting into the graphic details, the whole area would be a picture of desolation, there would be absolutely no form of life existing, dead bodies would be piled in the streets, any humans remaining alive in this part of the state would glow in the dark, and no more money would need to be appropriated for Peru State.

Should we be concerned? Well, I don't think so. Our public officials know what they are doing. And it is bound to be in the best interest of everyone involved.

NEW YORK, NY (CP$}-"fry* ing to catch the new commumea.tions wave, a company here is trying to form a college video network that would start beaming high-priced programming by satellite to campuses next fall. Some college enter-· tainment veterans, however, wonder if the network is economically feasible.

"A lot of us (in the industry} have been looking at it a long time, but we couldn't ever figure out how it could generate the kind of money it would have to," says Micha,el Harpster of New Line Presentations, which books old-fashioned, in-the-flesh entertainers and films for campuses around the country.

"It's a great idea," adds a West Coast booking agent who asked to remain anonymous, "but I don't see how it makes economic sense."

The "great idea" is the child of Campus Entertainment Network (CEN), which intends to broadcast ''live super.star entertainment" over satellite onto large-screen receivers on some 125 campuses nationwide

For an average ticket price of $5, students would get to see acts their campus programming ·committees ordinarily· couldn't afford to book onto campus.

The venture, in part bankrolled by media giant Oak Industries, is one of the first pay-per-view television experiments directed at college students.

CEN public relations spokeswoman Elise Gutman sees the network going beyond music in the future to specialized sporting events, Broadway shows, lectures from, say, "a politician who had a special message for college students," and even "self-help educational programs like for pre-law -students studying for their (Law School Admissions Test). It'd be almost like a Stanley Kaplan (preparatory) program for the whole country." <Kaplan is a prep test franchise).

Or at least part of the country. CEN first approached 125 campuses that· fit criteria like "having a history of progressive programming, the right size auditorium, and '11 record of handling big events well," Gutman explains.

campuses will sign on Ja.,, To the initial ones, CEN will1 loan the necessary hardVfai'e and technical. expertise. Campyses will "provide the security and sell the tickets," she says.

CEN and the campus involved will.then split the gate receipts. CEN. will also "get its money from somebody who. would underwrite the program. Like for an educational show, maybe General Motors. would underwrite it."

"The music industry," she addS, ''is also very excited about it. It <underwriting a CEN concert) is a great way to get a hard-to-reach audience, and it's a great way to sell albums."

The audience.is hard to reach, she explains, "because it's so expensj,ve to put big-name acts on campuses, and itjust can't be done over cable (television). No campuses have cable yet."

While many campuses do in fact have cable television, a growing and significant number of schools are with leasing and showing videotaped concerts as a cheaper alternative to live entertainment. Though confusion in copyright law has inhibited the growth of the practice, dozens of schools, for example, have rented a Fleetwood Mac videotaped concert for as little as $400 just since September.

But Gutman doesn't see that as a threat to CEN. "We're just really augmenting what's already there for a limited number of people."

Others in the industry have long lusted for what CEN is trying to create. Harpster recalls seeing a study by CASS, the student paper ad placement agency, that estimated college students annually spend.about $4 bill.ion in discretionary income.

"People never get tired of trying to get to that substantial an amount of money, but it sure has been hard to reach it," he observes.

··Harpster says he investigated making campus pay-per-view satellite hook-ups, but gave up. The people who underwrite the programming, he explains, have to know how many people-potential eustomers-will see it. Guaranteeing an advertiser how many students will see a given show is difficult, he says.

"That's what we couldn't answer: how do you gbarantee how many people are watching? That's what's kept advertisers away from cable telvision so far. Even the biggest cable outfits can't (get their audiences) certified." ·

"I hope it works," says the West :Coast agent, ·"but it can cost $150,000-$300,000 easy to stage and produce just a half-hour concert. And then maybe you can reach <over CEN) a million, a millfon, two .million people? The numbers as I see them don't · add up yet."

Nevertheless, CEN hopes to broadcast four-to-six shows next school year. CEN marketing director reports "there was tremendous enthusiasm abQHt affiliating with CEN" at a recent convention of campus programming officials in Chicago.

Students for Black Awareness Started

A new organization has been established at Peru State. Students For Black Awareness <S.F .B.A.) was established to create black interest and opportunity for students to participate and get involved in activi_ties involving social and academic events on and off campus.

The organization meets every first and third Tuesday of the month in the Fish Bowl at 7:30 p.m. Membership dues at $5.00 a semester and $10.00 a year. All students are invited to attend meetings and become members.

Officers for S.F .B.A. ·are: Alexander Appleton, president; Donnel Swanigan, vice-president; Delores Wright, secretary; Andrew Ray, treasurer; Hercules Cannon, seargent at arms; Pearl Dean and Terrell Williams, public relations.

PSC to Hold Open House for Public

Peru State College will have the chance to show off its scenic campus when it holds an Open House to be held May 2.

The Open House will be simply an open invitation to prospective students, student's parents, as well as the public, from 1-3:00 p.m., to visit PSC and walk through the different buildings. Although no official tour will be given, each department will have a demonstration or presentation. Ken Steidle, Director of Admissions, says that the Admissions Committee, who is sponsoring the Open House, has sent out· printed invitations to parents, churches, and the surrounding areas.

Last year 66 people attended the House and one of Steidle's concerns is ''we need to let people in Peru, and the surroundmg areas, know who and what Peru is." "Its our responsibility to the student body to provide an education," said Steidle, and an Open House is one good way to accomplish that goal.

Students Place • 1n Contest

Peru State Phi Beta Lambda business fraternity, had 10 winners in the 1982 State PBL Leadership Conference held at Kearney State College.

Representatives from the fraternity from 13 Nebraska colleges and universities competed with Allen Beermann, Nebraska Secretary of State, a special seminar speaker.

Winners from Peru State College were:

First place-Marketing, Gordon Ehrlich, business administration-accounting major, Lincoln; Economics, Diana Watton, Nemaha;

Second place-A(!counting, Jim Heineman, business administration major; Nebraska City; Economics, Barb Whitney, accounting-business administration major, Auburn; Business Administration, Gayle Hytrek, business administration major, Auburn;

Third place-Extemperaneous speaking, Gayle Hytrek, Auburn; Mr. Future Business Executive, Steve Saathoff, accounting-business administration major, Diller; Marketing, Diana Watton; Fourth Administration, Rhea Spears, business administration major, Humboldt; Fifth place-Business law, Barb Whitney.

Dr. Don Jacobs, chairman of the PSC business division, said that this contest that had four winners from PSC last year was for members of Phi Beta Lambda across the state. "We have many outstanding business students who are not members of Phi Beta Lambda and were not eligible to enter the contest because of that," he said.

At the July national contest in Indianapolis, Diana Watton, has qualified to compete.(CNB)

Peru State senior Charlie Doeden knocked in this putt during the Bobcats' golf match with Concordia won by Peru, 342-368. Doeden carded the day's low score of 81 in the match played at Auburn Country club. The business administration ·major hopes to improve on his 1981 fourth place finish in NAIA District 11 play.

Track, softball and baseball teams will be allowed to compete in district competition this year. After · a much publ!zi.ced dispute, the PSC adm1mstration overruled an guideline that would have banned the teams from district competition this year.

The policy, although written nowhere in the student handbook or in administrative records supl?o.sed!y part1c1pa t10n m extra-curricular events during the last five days of school, regarded as finals week.

Dr. Clyde Barret,. vice President of Academic Affairs felt that such a policy although

nonwritten should be allowed to stand due to the division chairman verbal agreement. Accorrding. to Coach Jerry Joy, PSC Athletic Director, he was requested not to schedule any athletic events on the days coinciding with finals week. The problem derived when our school calendar was moved back a week and districts fell into the unlawful time slot.

As of March first the college had already signed a contract to compete in this year's NAIA Districts, with nonparticipation resulting in possible probation for all PSC 'sports.

Students, faculty, and adrninmet at a special meetmg last week to voice

opinions for and against this year's district competition. The legality and interpretation of the guideline were discussed and the final decision was rendered by Dr: Clyde Barrett, upon recommendation by Coach Joy and Coach Pitts.

The college will review the attendance policy and seek to establish a written format to ·follow in future years.

Suppo-rt for the district competition came from athletes, faculty and concerned students. Such an action they felt would hurt student morale,, hinder college recruitment and drive a firm wedge between PSC administration and students.

But according to an inside administrative source ("who should know") the President has that all figured oui. Why not fight for both sides? That way we can be sure that the war will last long enough to get the economy going, get the people back to work, and who knows, we might even take over the islands ourselves.

The preliminary plan is to give the British three divisions of our best Army stock, twelve AWACS, six ships and thirty grenades. The Argentines, on the· other hand, will get two divisions of Marines (since they only have a few good men), twenty heavy duty bombers, nine fishing boats, and two atom bombs.

This distribution of military aid should insure that we have a long and productive war. By the time it is over, unemployment will be at a record low, productivity will increase, the economy will be back on its feet, and Reagan will be able to get re-elected.

Now you tell me, is there a better way to get the economy · going? If you can think of one please call the Federal Office f6r Economic Development. Why not? Your guess is as good as ours.

Rob Evans, InstruCtor of Industrial Arts at PSC, said that last year over 200 high school students attended the fair and over 400 projeets were displayed. This year 18 schools are expected to attend.

According to Evans, three ribbons, red, white and blue, will be given out in each area, and a purple rosette for the Grand Prize in each catagory.

A traveling trophy will be given to the Junior and Senior High Schools with the best overall project. The top prize will be two scholarships awarded to the school with most purple rosettes. These scholarships must be used by a student planning to major in Applied Arts at PSC.

Anti-Nuke Week Seen as Faculty, Not Student, Movement

(CPS)-In Muncie, Indiana, Ball State University staged forums on nuclear warfare. A string of distinguished speakers orated at the University of Chicago. There was a die-in at Michigan, workshops at Houston, an anti-nuke play at Columbia, and a Dance for Disarmament at Stanford.

In all, 359 campuses officially took part in the surprising, abruptly-healthy anti-nuclear weaponry movement during the nationwide Ground Zero Week April 18-24.

But though the events were in part a college movement, organizers say it hasn't exactly become a student movement yet.

"We're having a big response among the faculty," reports Cyrus Levinthal, biology chairman and a Ground Zero Week organizer at Columbia. "Then next are the grad students, then, lastly, the undergraduates."

At Washington State, "There's been .much more faculty and community involvement per capita" than among students, adds WSU genetic.ist Richard Finnell.

"I would not hesitate to call the students apathetic," asserts David Kessler, biologist at Southwestern University in Memphis. "But the community is definitely behind us."

University of Texas-San Antonio and Trinity University student participation in the week's anti-nuke activities "could have been higher," coordinator Betsy Tennenbaum adds.

Students at Ball State, by contrast, did the bulk of the work. Many didn't do it by choice, however.

"We required students in at least three general education classes to attend the lectures," says Irma Rendina, associate home economics professor. "I admit we've had a captured audience, but at least they are hearing about these things. And the response has been very positive."

Rendina and all the others are confident students will get more involved as time goes by. The recent upsurge in opposition to nuclear proliferation started among faculty members, Rendina speculates, because "that's where the scientists are." ·

And student participation does appear to be growing. "At fitst students didn't show much interest in being or:ganized," says Richard Shapiro of Cornell. ''But as the issues come clearer, we're finding a tremendous depth of feeling."

Since last November's simultaneous convocations at some 150 colleges, "campus participation has more than doubled that of last fall's activities," Henry Kendall head of the Union of Concerned Scientists <UCS), marveled in a prepared statement.

UCS, an offshoot called the United Campuses to Prevent War, and Ground Zero organized the week's events.

"Over 450 school$ got materials," explains national ·UCS coordinator Chuck Monford. They included a large target, which activists were to place on a spot on which an enemy might detonate a one megaton bomb. Demonstrators were urged to find dramatic ways of portraying the destruction such a blast would cause in their home towns.

Three hundred and fifty-nine campuses officially · joined the effort, Monford says.

"Ground Zero Week l)as two purposes," he ponits out. "To educate people, and to establish networks for future activities."

Most immediately, "we're aiming at having a political effect in the elections this fall. The economy is the country's most pressing issue, but we'd like to_see every candidate at

least to be forced to take a position (on nuclear arms)."

Monford would "really like to see a campus group in every one of the 435 congressional districts in the country."

But organizers are extraordinarily careful not to appear too political.

UniversitY of Chicago organizer Phoebe Zerwick, among others, stressed the emphasis on "activities" rather than "demonstrations."

won't have a rally," she asserts. "I don't think it would go over well. It taints. Even our handouts are a problem. People are afraid that you are going to give them some crazed rambling."

'

At Ball State as well, "People didn't want to take any handouts, as if some kind of radicalness might rub off on them," Rendina says. The apolitical posture'has attracted a broad spectrum of activists. Cornell's Shapiro was very worried about being identified as a "'protest-type" group, but he stopped worrying · about it when "the young Republicans gave us a call."

In San Antonio, Tenenbaum says "bastions of conservativism have been expressing interest in the program. We've heard from the Republican Women's club, the Lions Club, the Jaycees."

Yet the "core of most of otfr committees," at least in

Memphis, are "sixties people" who are "recycling, getting recharged after a period of burnout," Kessler says.

But none of the organizers contacted for this article fully agreed on why they might recharge now, or why antinuclear weaponry sentiment should resurface this school year instead of any other year, when the arms race was only minimally less torrid.

"There has been a lot of latent energy lying around campuses,'' Monford notes, adding Ground Zero's momentum is something "we owe to the callous approach of President Reagan."

"It's a cycle," Rendina contends. The sentiment "was simmering there. It just needed a spark to get started."

Many feel the spark jumped the Atlantic. Reagan's 1981 proposal to place nuclear warheads in Europe ignited a vast anti-nuke movement there that sensitized people here to the issue.

Finnell thinks the connection 'to Washington State is direct. "I'd say that 20 per cent of the student organizing committee was made up of exchange students" from the University of Bonn.

"It's a combination of things," observes Columbia's Levinthal. "Number one is the European movement toward disarmament. It's raised our awareness. Reagan, of course, has been helpful. His casual approach frightens people."

Translating the fear into a sustalned movement is hard. "This is clearly a ·1ong-haul issue," Cornell's Shapiro says. "It will never be as intense an issue as Vietnam, say, since it's hard to take as personally. Given the abstract nature of the debate, I think the interest of students has been spectacular."

Basebal I Tearn Splits ,Contests With Bellevue

The ''PSC baseball team used home runs by first baseman, Chris Hutt, senior, Tecumseh and center fielder Rob Hansen, junior, Millard, to win the seond game of a doubleheader at ' Bellevue, 8-4.

Hutt's fourth home run of the year came with two in the fifth inning, before Hansen rapped his third round-tripper of the year in the sixth inning. The Bobcat power display was sufficient to assure Peru pitcher Jim Parrish, sophomore, Falls City, of his third victory of the year. The burly Parrish gave up six hits in seven innings of work while walking one and striking out six, First game pitcher Marty Martin, freshman, Hershey, suffered from poor fielding by his teammates in the first inning, as Bellevue capitalized on two Bobcat errors· to score three runs. The defense tightened through the rest of the doubleheader, however, as Peru State committed but one error the rest of the afternoon.

Martin took the opening game loss despite walking only one batter and striking out five in seven innings of work.

Pitcher Barb Peterson, freshman, Omaha, won both games for Peru. "Pete" gave up five hits in each game to pick up her third and fourth wins of the year, After Concordia scored two runs in the third inning of the first game, the Lady Bobcats struck back with three runs in the bottom half of the inning to take the lead for good.

After Peterson walked to start the rally, second baseman Kim Hill, junior, Papillion, sacrificed the hurler to second. Third baseman Deb Lon·g, sophomore, Columbus, singled to drive in Peterson, before center fielder Sondra Stanley, freshman, Stella and right fielder Jackie Halterman, senior, Liberty, both doubled to keep the rally going.

Coach Maxine Mehus' Lady 'Cats then scored two runs in the fqurth and three runs in the sixth

inning of the first game. with a big factor being the hitting of first baseman Sara Donovan, freshman. Lincoln, Donovan tripled in two runs in the fourth and went four-for-four on the day with two walks and five runs batted in.

Peru opened up a 3-0 in the second inning of the nightcap, Carla Frauen, sophomore, Lincoln, started things off by reaching on an error, before catcher Becky Gauchat. sophomore, Brock. walked and Peterson and Donovan both singled,

The Lady 'Cats scored insurance runs in the third, fourth and fifth innings, while Peterson held Concordia hitless for three full innings of the second game as proof of her staying power.

The Peru sluggers rapped 13 hits in the first game, before coming back for 14 hits in the nightcap. Long led the attack with five hits in seven trips to the plate, while Donovan, Stanley and Halterman each rapped four hits.
