Enrollment Figures Risirg

Preliminary indications point to a second consecutive year of big enrollment and housing increases at Peru State College. according to Dr. Jerry Gallentine. PSC president.

On-campus enrollment at Nebraska's oldest college is at 8:37. Dr. Gallentine said. That compares with a figure of 623 in the Fall of 1982. for an increase of 34 per cent.

Much of that increase is credited to a huge jump in first-time freshmen enrollment.

Dr. Gallentine said. In the Fall of '82 there were 171 first-time freshmen: this fall there.are 307. for an 80 cent boost and the largest freshman class in at least two decades.

On-campus housing figures are impressive as well. Dr.· Galleniine noted. ·Jn the Fall of '82. single students lived on campus: :107 are on campus this fall. for a jump of :13 per cent.

Full·t ime equivalency 1 FTE > a figure reflecting the number

of credit hours produced by s!Udents. and divided by 15-is presently at 809 for on-campus enrollment. That means a 35 per cent increase over the Fall. 1982 figure of 1)00.7.

Conservative projections for off-campus and overall enrollment figures for this fall point to strong gains by Peru State College. according to Dr. Gallentine.

Off-campus enrollment. which includes courses offered in a ·number of Southeast Nebraska tommunities through PSC's Division of Continuing tion. are projected for a 20 per cent gain. Dr. Gallentine predicts 392 students will participate in off-campus courses compared to 327 last fall.

He projects overall fall enroHment to approach all-time Peru Slate College record of I .2f>4 students set in the Fall of 1969. Dr. Gallentine said that by adding on-campus enrollment 1s:n> with his projected off.

campus enrollment <392 J. a figure of 1.229 students is arrived at.

That figure of 1,229 compares with a final Fall '82 headcount of 950-an increase of over 29 per cent. Dr. Gallentine noted.

·'Most of our new enrollment is due to an increase in the efforts in Southeast Nebraska by our Admissions Department," said Dr. Gallentine.

"In general there has been growth in almost all of our academic programs at Peru State College." Dr. Gallentine said. "However, one area that has seen unusual growth is in computer science."

"The same holds true for our pre-professional programs in mathematics and natural sciences." he continued. "Enrollment in our traditionally strong areas-business arid teacher education-continues to grow and. be a significant part of the enrollment picture at Peru State College."

Dr. Harold Deselms will become the new president of McCo.ok }:ommunity College.

nation wide contest, Ehrlich placed third.

According to Russell Beldin, Gordon's advisor at Peru State, no student from Peru has placed. in the nationals since he came here in 1971. "We've had several winners at the state level, but_ never a national winner," said Beldin.

Ehrlich won a plaque for completion of a written business law examination. "I studied every night for weeks," he said. "And I probably called Mr. Beldin every night." Apparently, Beldin was instrumental in Gordon's success at the contest.

appeared at Peru State College campus for an exhibition and talk on Wednesday, Sept. 21, according to student programs coordinator Peggy Gibbs.' Ms. ·Krussel, a 34-year-old mother of two who lives in Nebraska City, performed two shows from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Student Center.

A powerlifter for about 11•2 years, Ms. Krussel holds three state powerlifting records. She holds the record in the squat (187.2 pounds) and benchpress (90 pounds) in the 105-pound

weight classification, while she holds a record for total weight lifted ( 565 pounds) in the 11.4-pound category. She has spent tire past six months working exclusively on bodybuilding, which is not the same as powerlifting. Bodybuilding is the overall toning and flexing of the muscles. The purpose of powerbuilding is to tone muscles to lift weight to their fullest capacity. Ms. Krussel participated in a· national bodybuilding· competition in Las Vegas last month and finished twelfth in her weight class.

Linda Krussel poses with the trophy she won in the Ms Nebraska bobybuilding contest.

and Drama: Previews and Reviews

By Karen Coover

Well, since I am quite sure that everyone, who is anyone, has purchased their very own 1983-84 Peru Players Season ticket, and is anxio,Usly waiting for the curtain to open on the first show of our Diamond Anniversary Season, I would like to focus a bit on "Frankenstein.'!

"Frankenstein," is the story of Victor Frankenstein, a· brilliant young scientist, who returns to his chateau on the shores of Lake Geneva to escape some terrible pursuer. No one can shake free the dark secret that terrifies · him. The play operis on the wedding night of Victor and Elizabeth, and ends weeks later, in a horrific climax of dramatic suspense! In between, Victor's household is invaded by murder, despair and terror. Set Designer for this production, Mike Northrup, a senior at PSC, said the play will be set in 1818, when the book, by Mary Shelley, was written. The basic design for the set was taken from the French Chateaus of that time. "Many hours of research are important

_in designing a set ·that the audience will accept," said Northrup, "Stills, or pictures, of movies set in that era, were a great help."

One of the unique aspects of this production is that five of the eight cast membE!'rs are Freshmen. I talked with a few to get their reactions to being cast, their feeling about the show itself after a few weeks of rehearsal, and .their overall expectations and impressions of the PSC Drama Dept. Lore Dorsey, cast in a leading role, said, "As a freshman, I -felt hesitant, about the excitement of playing a lead overwhelmed the hesitation." She added that Peru State Drama is more professional than she had imagined, and appreciates the personal attention given to the students by both Dr. Eckert and Dr. Harper.

Brett Housten, also cast in leading role, said he had hopes of being cast, "but was stunned to get a lead role, it's exciting."

Brett had this to say about the department, "I've never been in

a department where the actors · also. bµild the sets. Building makes you appreciate the show more, it's hard work." I think that I will be weHprepared with a good working knowledge upon my graduation." Brett said that he hopes someday to start a dinner theatre, or acf on Broadway.

Kathy Mulchahy, whose dream is to be a professional stage manager or actress, surprised and happy to be cast. She is very impressed with the whole department. "I want to learn as much while I'm here as I possibly can/'

My next article will include some more of the attitudes of Peru Players, past and present. Now, aU of you who didn't have $5 last time you heard from me, has been paid since, so I'm sure, after reading more ·about this great tradition in theatre, you will be rushing out and beating down the door of the Peru Player nearest you to get your ticket. Hurry, the· opens October 6 at 8:00 p.m.

Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor:

What a disappointment last Saturday night was. I'm not talking about the outcome of the football game, I am referring to. the attitude and the actions of the fans in general. First of all a certain group on campus really made a great itnpression. Sure, we need a vocal crowd, but. we don't need the vulgarness and negative comments associated with Peru.State College, as were displayed that night. Let's see in college. That means we're between the ages of 18-22. Let's act like it. Secondly, the cheerleaders are out on the field doing their best to get the crowd pepped up. They need the fans to cheer with them, not AGAINST them. Aren't we all in this together? Come on folks-let's join forees and act like a school with a little comradery instead of one that is just separated into little groups. Face it-Conc.ordia 's fans were ten times more excited and unified than ours. It sure is tough for the football guys to go out and play a game without a little support from the fans.

Which brings me to another point: I am a bit curious as to why the team was _on the

opposite side of the field, isolated from those fans who wanted to cheer them on. I always thought that that was the advantage to the home field-to have the team on the home side amongst their screaming crowd. Maybe the guys can't hear us out on the field, but while on the sidelines a little support wouldn't hurt. When the team is {,iirectly in front, the blood gets flowing and we can get psyched up because then it like we're all cheering for a central cause. Whatever angle we look at, let's make Homecoming really look like a Homecoming-a home game with a college of students, faculty, administrators, general spectators and· a football team to show forit. Let's shape up and show Northwestern what Peru State College is all about! · · From a Concerned Alumni

There is definitely a problem on campus. Not your 8:00 a.m. class or your obnoxious roommate, but a serious problem. PARKING! There "should" be a parking space for every student enrolled on campus, obviously there is not. If there was, why would commuters wh() car pQ<>l

Trustees Proposals

Several proposals affecting Peru State College were given approval by the Board of Trustees of the Nebraska State Colleges at their regular monthly meeting on Friday, Sept. 16 at Kearney, according to PSC President Jerry Gallentine.

The Board gave approval to hire two new faculty members as well. Michael Devitch, who received his undergraduate and graduate degrees at Creighton University, is an assistant professor of business and coordinator of business and industrial relations.

Dr. Moon Chang joins the college as assistant professor of education. He has degrees from Busan National ·University in South Korea, and received his graduate degrees from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville.

A contract between the Board and Pizza Hut, Inc., was given approval. The Kansas-based food chain will begin to operate out of PSC's Neal Dining Hall in approximately-one month, Dr. Gallentine said.

pare the $6.5 million proposal by a third.

Remodeling and renovation of the T. J. Majors Edu-cation Building at Peru State was given second priority by the Board at a cost of $1.5 million. Built in 1916 as a training school, it has received only minor cosmetic treatment except for exterior work completed in 1981.

The T. J. Majors Education Building represents 54 per cent of the available classroom space at PSC. Among the programs based in the building are the college Business and Education divisions, which represent over 80 per cent of the college's current program enrollment. Parking lot expansion ·of the PSC campus was given seventh priority by the Board, while library expansion was given eighth priority. All capital construction proposals are subject to legislative approval. An expanded services request _ equalling three per cent of each college's operating budget was given Board approval. Peru State's share would be $110,425, according to Dr. Gallentine.

enthusiasm and "new blood."

The new blood is referring to all the freshmen in the group, eight of fourteen members are freshmen including: Debbie Cline, Lore Dorsey, James Flessner, Brett Husfon, Larry Patterson, Eric Rothell, Sherri Rummel and Tammy Tyson,. Upper classmen in the group are: Kristie Dierking, Karrie Fisbeck, Susan Honea, Kathy L'Archevesque, GeneLeVasseur .and Tim Mittan.

· The kind of music they will be singing js jazzier like, "Memory" from the Br()adway hit musical "Cats," "We're Gonna Make it to the Top," and "Steam Heat."

The leader behind these groups is a newc().mer .to Peru. His name is Donald Freed. Freed is single and colllmutes from .Lincoln every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. He received his bachelor's degreefrom Nebraska Wesleyan and his masters in voice at the University of Nebraska. The only set performance for Misty Blues is November 2 with the stage band Blue Collar Workers, however, Freed expects · to perform for other functions later.

Preparations are underway for' the 12th annual Swing Choir Clinic and ·Comp'etition at Peru State College, according to Dr.

Thomas L. Ediger, director of choral clinics at PSC.

The 1983 version of the clinic-competition has been expanded to two days, Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. 25-26, at Peru State. Choirs can choose which day they prefer to attend. The annual event is sponsored by Peru State's music department and the student Music Educators National Conference <M.E.N.C.).

Ms. Sally Albrecht, Creative Director of Educational Chorals at Shawnee Press music publishing in Delaware Water Gap; Penn., will serve as guest clinician.

"Sally's expertise in choreography for the snow choir along with her excellent rapport with students and teachers make it easy to understand her rapidly growing reputations as a show choir clinician," Dr. Ediger said. ·. Swing choirs from throughout the region have been invited to participate. Competition, for those choirs wanting to try for the first place trophies, will be divided into five high school categories that are based on enrollment.

High school choirs may choose to perform for critical evaluation only. College and junior high choirs can also attend but will perform for critical comment only.

Another proposal recommended for confirmation by the Board deals: with a cooperative agreement between _Peru State College and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Agriculture. The proposal provides for a cooperative transfer program between the two schools.

Capital construdion requests for the four state colleges were prioritized and given approval by the Board. ·A proposed activity center at Chadron State College was given top priority by the Board, though CSC President Dr. Ed Nelson was instructed to

Of the expanded services funds, $30,000 would be used for additional computer equipment and software; $20,905 is directed towards instructional equipment; and the remainder for one full-time faculty position, one full-time counselor position, and one full-time secretarial position.

Dr. Gallentine also mentioned the college being the first in Nebraska to require a course on computer literacy for graduation as well as the first to offer a computer science teaching endorsement.

and Senate For-um

By Sara Donovan

Well! It's Homecoming time again ! I hope everyone is ready to "live it up" this weekend because there will sure be lots going on. will come alive on a weekend ! The bonfire Friday night will be a guaranteed spirit-raiser, so all you rowdy fans come to yell and scream for those Bobcats, O.K.? After your voices are gone, stick around for "The Mr. Bill Show" and "The Howling'"movies for laughs and spooks. Don't forget the fun run Saturday morning at 9:00, the parade at 11 :00, the big game at 2:00, the play, Frankenstine, at 8:00, and the dance, featuring "The Rumbles," starting at 10:00. Now, doesn't that sound like an action-packed, exciting

day? Take advantage of all the festivities-I. know you will enjoy yourself!!

The Student Senate marathon runners, believe'it or not, ran all 102 miles down to Atchison, KA. in time for the Peru vs. Benedictine game last Saturday. Even though the score was a little short on our side, we're still behind our guys and will continue to be throughout the rest of the season. Everyone ran their hearts out, and I think they deserve a big hand. Besides the blisters and- sore legs, everyone enjoyed themselves and are ready to go to Chadron next year Thanks to all who participated as they did a great job and to Mrs. Gibbs and Jo Hatfield for driv\rig. Also, special thanks to all who pledged

us-without your support, we couldn't have made it worthwhile!

I would like to congratulate the volleyball team for winning their tournament last weekend. Those ladies work extremely hard and deserve loads of credit. Way to go! The cross-country teams have shown gregJ improvement in the last coup'Te of years and are certainly living up to their expectations this year as well. They deserve a big pat on the back and support to follow them also! Lets get out and cheer on these sports, as they carry a fine Peru tradition and boost our school a great deal. Enjoy the weekend, but don't forget to attend classes Monday!

For the Record

By Sally S. DuBois

My tennis shoes were on. The van had stopped. These people actually thought I ·was going to get out and run. My headphones were on, Michael Jackson was singing in my ears. 'fhis idiotic orange vest was to keep me from getting struck down by a semi-truck? The door opened. I stepped out. Is this October? It feels like December! They slam the door. Will I ever see these people again. Doubtful. I look both ways down · the long, barren, highway. No cars. I put one tennis shoe in .front of the other. Yes, I do believe I am moving. Where am I supposed to run? In this six-inch. ragweed or in the path of traffic? I chose the ragweed.

If I pace myself I might make it a mile. What is that a Swan Ice Cream truck I see coming this way? I turn and start to chase it. Futile attempt. Back on the track. I run between one telephone pole, walk between the next. Mrs. Gibbs drives by, "C'mon Sal its been 15 minutes." My first mile 21 minutes.

Of course there are always the people like Chuck Reed and

Wendy Shuey who run two miles to your half mile.

It was my turn again. What? Where are the telephone poles? And the sun went down. No Way!

·Alright, don't push I'll get out. Yes, rn be back by 9:00, it's only 7:45.

This time it's a little easier. What's that coming at me? A wolf? A coyote? It's a dog heading for my legs. Being the scout I a:m, I grab a handful or rocks. The dog gets· the hint when I beam it into his head. Oh yeah, now the van comes to my rescue. I· could have been mauled to death.

We're comparing mileage now. Yes, I have only ran. five miles to your eleven Sara Beth. I enjoyed the.scenery most of the way. No, we're not running to Chadron next year Chris. Roller ·skate maybe. ·

We did make it to Atchison, Kansas, home of the sweet smelling industries, and one hundred hills. No broken bones, no lost people. Fastest mile, it hasn't been tabulated yet. The sfowest mile need you ask. I feel good. I didn't think I would get out of the .van.

FCA Makes Plans

By Missy Trujillo

There are many important decisions which a student must confront while at college. What do I major in? Where should I live? Who shall I associate with? The latter decision could be viewed as a vital determining factor in one's future well being.

The opportunity is available to Peru students to associate with groups that promote one's well being. One such group existing is FCA-Fellowship of Christian Athletes. This group welcomes athletes and non-athletes alike who desire to enjoy Christian fellowship in a healthy environment. The FCS purpose states: "to present to athletes and coaches, and all whom they influence, the challenge and adventure of receiving Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, serving Him in their relationships and in the Fellowship of the Church."

FCA meets weekly on campus and is involved in many worthwhile and fun activities. Some future plans include: attending Christian Contemporary concerts, (such as "Servant"), a sledding party, a Christian contemporary music dance, printing a campus directory, picnics, and making a FCA banner for the HPER center. The officers for this year are President - Missy Trujillo; Vice-President - Curt Cogswell; and Secretary-Treasurer - Lori Vrtiska.

PSEA Plans Year

By Pam Ottemann

PSEA (Peru Student Education Association) is an organization on this campus for undergraduate or graduate students in education. PSEA is affiliated w:ith SNEA, (Student National Education tion), NEA <National Education Association), and the NSEA, (Nebraska State Educafion Association). -

elected in August of 1983. There are currently 12 members serving on the Professional Practices Coi;n,.mittee, which its meetings at the State Offices in Lincoln, NE. A minimum of four meetings per year are required by law. When the State Board of Education receives a complaint concerning a teacher's job ·performance, members of the Professional Practices Committee are then sent to the site of the public educational institution in which the alleged infraction occurred. It is then Mr. Hamilton's job, along with the other members of the PPC, to determine if the complaint filed is a legitimate complaint. This organization deals with elementary and secondary public educational institutions in the State of Nebraska. Mr. Hamilton will serve a three year term as a member of the commission.

The purpose of PSEA is to help develop a better understanding in the education profession, to provide a voice in matters affecting our profession and to advance the interests and welfar·e of students who are preparing a career in education.

Here at Peru, the dues for PSEA .are $16.00. For this sum you get many benefits:

1. You receive additional information about education. 2, You get student publications, "Today's Education," "Nebraska Education News", are just

two. 3, You meet and work with other people. 4, You may become a leader or officer ·· (which looks good on a job resume). 5, You enjoy many social meetings. 6, Liability coverage. 7, Member rights. Anyone who is going into the education field should STRONGLY think about joining. You NEED the coverage that it gives. You never know what will happen out there in the class room. Plus, our organization needs new blood.

We are in the process of planning activities for the year. If you have any ideas, contact us. -· Sign up to join the band wagon of professionals in education. If you have any other questions, the new officers for PSEA are:

Second City to be at PSC

A comedy company whose list of "alumni" reads like a "Who's Who" of recent comedy stars will perform at Peru State College, according to Peggy Gibbs, PSC student programs coordinator.

"The Second City" national touring company, based in Chicago, Ill., will appear in the College Auditorium on the Peru State campus on Monday,· Oct. 24. Showtime is 7 p.m., and admission is $2 except for PSC students, faculty and staff, who will be admitted free with ID.

It's roots go back into the early 1950's, .but it wasn't until 1959 that the troupe took the name "The Second City" to the stage in Chicago. Though the names and faces onstage are in a constant state of change, their special brand of improvisational irreverance remains intact.

"The Second City" has groomed the likes of Joan Rivers, Bill Murray, John Belushi, Dan Akroyd, Gilda Radner, John Candy, Peter Boyle, and Jack Burns.

And there's more. Valerie Harper ("Rhoda"), Alan Arkin, Shelley Berman, Linda Lavin ("Alice"), Jerry Stiller and Ann Meara, Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis ("The MacKenzie Brothers"), and David Steinberg

have all spent time in "The Second City," to name just a few.

Their nationally-syndicated television series, "SCTV," began in September of 1977. NBC-TV aired both "SCTV" (in 1981) and another series featuring "Second City" talent, "NBC's Big Comedy Show" (1979).

It will be "The Second City" stars of tomorrow appearing at Peru State-the touring company is used as a sort of "farm system" for developing talent for their main stage in Chicago.

"I think some people that go to the touring show expect John Candy and Joe Flaherty (mem_bers of the TV cast) to appear, and they might be surprised when they don't," spokesman Mike Haggerty told the Kansas City "Star." "But by the end of the night, they are normally glad they came."

The approximately two-hour show at Peru State will include interplay with the au'dience, who they draw many of their ideas from. They use few props and costumes.

For further information about "The Second City" performance at Peru State College on Monday, Oct. 24, contact Peggy Gibbs or Kent Propst at PSC. All ticket sales will be at the door.

Wheeler • 1n Hal.I of Fame

Former athletic director and longtime Peru State 'Coach Alfred G. (Al) Wheeler was inducted into the Nebraska Football Hall of Fame Saturday, Oct. 1 at halftime of the Universrty of Nebraska-Syracuse football game in Lincoln.

Wheeler served PSC for over 27 years in his career and was one of the winningest coaches ever on the small college level.

Wheeler was selected to the honor by the Board of Directors of the Nebraska Football Foundation. Among the members of the board are KF ABradio announcers Lyle Bremmser and Jack Payne; University of Nebraska athletic director Bob Devaney; Don Bryant, UN-L sports information director and Hubert Monsky, the President of the Nebraska Chapter of the National Football Foundation.

"He was a real fine coach, and deserved this honor," said announcer Jack. Payne.

While at PSC, Wheeler was a highly successful football coach. His teams won or shared seven Nebraska Conference titles from 1939-60 Wheeler compiled a 133-5H2 rec-0rd at Peru, and his teams won 26 straight games from mid-1951 to mid-1954.

Wheeler also displayed his great coaching ability° in basketball, as five PSC teams qualifiecl for the NAIA national tournament, with the 1940 team reaching the semi-finals. Wheeler compiled an overall basketball record of 79-59, and won conference championships in 1939, '40, and '46.

Other sports he helped to revive included track, where he won two conference championships in eight years, and baseball, which ·won two conference titles after a 35 year absence from the Campus of a Thousand Oaks.

Wheeler won his.share of state and national honors at the small college level. In 1956, he received ·his. most prestigious honor by being one of the first three coaches to be inducted into the Helms Athletic Foundation Football Hall of Fame in its first year of existence. Quite an honor considering he was still an active coach. Wheeler, also served as the NAIA national President in 1953-54.

He was selected as the Nebraska College Coach of the Year in 1952 by ' the Omaha "World-Herald," and in 1961 by the Lincoln '-'Journal and Star."

In 1952, he was honored as the

Little All-American Coach of the Year by the Rockne Club of Kansas City, Mo.

A native 9f Ohio, Wheeler was a 1922 graduate of Oberlin College'. He was a three-sport letterman and captain of the basketball team for three years. Quite an athlete in his day, Wheeler was selected "All-Ohio" in both football and basketball, and in 1921 led Oberline to an upset win over Big Ten power Ohio State.

After coaching twQ at Manual Arts High School fn Los Angeles, Calif., he served as freshman football coach at Iowa State for two years, and nine years at Amherst (Mass.) College before coming to Nebraska. ·

After earning his Master's degree at Columbia University, Wheeler came to Peru in 1938, where he remained until his retirement in 1965. At that time -·Wheeler was the Dean of Nebraska College Coaches.

Nicknamed "Coach Al," Wheeler died last June 16 at Charlotte, N.C. at the age of 83. He will long be remembered by not only his winning record, but of his philosophy of fair play and sportsmanship.

1983' Royalty at PSC ·

When 1982 Peru State College Homecoming Queen Karen Coover placed the crown on the '83 PSC Queen, .she gave it to someone she was familiar with-her twin sister, Diane Coover.

·

Peru State seniors Diane Coover and Jim Parrish were selected by a vote of the PSC student body as 1983 Homecoming Royalty. The winners were announced at halftime of the PSC-Northwestern (Iowa) football game on Saturday, Oct. 8.

Making the coronation even more a family affair was the fact that Diane Coover was escorted during the ceremonies by her father, Richard L. Coover of Papillion. Parrish was unable to participate in th.e festivities because he is a starting linebacker on the Bobcat football team.

Diane Coover, 1101 Surrey Road in Papillion, is an education major at Peru, State. Among her many

activities at PSC, she is in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), is a varsity football cheerleader, is involved with the PSC Student Senate and the dormitory government, and is active in Circle K International. Miss Coover participates in intramural sports at the college and in the college swing choir. She serves as a resident dormitory assistant at Peru State, too:

The 1983 Homecoming King, Jim Parrish, is from 1814 Valley Street in Falls City. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Parrish and is married to the former Lori Vanderberg.

Jim, who is a business administration major at Peru State, is active in both varsity and intramural sports. He is president of the P-Club, the college athletic letterman's organization. He participates in varsity football and baseball at Peru State.

Those who attended were Delegates Gary Winningham, Lori Walton, Sally DuBois, Sara Donovan (Board of Directors) and myself. It proved to be a very constructive and informative assembly. Since I am your newly appointed campus coordinator I'd like to fill you in a little on what NSSA is all about and the policy platform that, was established at that time.

The NSSA was founded in July of 1981 as a private, non-profit organization committed to the promotjpn of quality public higher education. This quality education is to be accessible to all citizens of ·the state. This committIQent is,. illustrated by the representation of the views and ,concerns of students in Nebraska's four - year colleges and institutions. Membership includes Peru, Wayne State , College, UNL, and UNO. NSSA is dedicated to educating students about the political and governmental process, bringing about political awareness and proID:o!ing college students to participate in voicing their viewpoints.

The philosophy behind NSSA is that higher education is an investment in the future of our state and nation. 'It therefore· will promote this philosophy to the Nebraska Legislature, the Governor, the University Board of Regents, the State College Board of Trustees, and other who's decision have an impact on the s,tudentS , which NSSA represents.

PERSONALS

On Saturday, this year's Policy Platform was passed which contains five issues of concern. These are what we will be working towards in the following year. They include, first of all, promoting equal access to quality public higher education regardless of financial status or physical challenge. Secondly, NSSA wiH promote the existence and enhancement of Tesponsible programs for financial assistance to students. Also, a promotion of faculty salaries and benefits that are competitive with systems of comparable stature throughout the nation. Included with this promotion will be. the commitment to enhance the communication between students, faculty, administrators, and decision makers.

The fourth issue of concern deals with promoting participation in the governmental process through an action program of voter registration and voter education. And, finally, NSSA shall promote the participation of students in the coordination of public higher education' as full equal partners. "

I have presented breifly the issues which do go into further detail but I hope this at least gives you an idea of how, through the active representation of these and other issues, the NSSA a sophisticated student voice to the decision making process regarding higher education. If you have any questions, please contact Sara Donovan, Student Body President or Carrie Nelson, Campus Coordinator.

Last Sunday night the pledges went all over Peru on a scavenger hunt finding .items such as a homecoming program to a white booby pin. Each item was worth points.

CPAN Formed

Hellci! Well, lots has happened since I talked to you last. Homecoming was a great success-many alumni were back and a large majority of tq.e students .stayed for the weekend. Most everyone enjoyed themselves, I believe, as there was a real good turnout to both the play and the dance. I did hear some people comment that they would have liked to have had special activities going on throughout the week, as in the past. In past years,, however, we haven't ever had a full week before the weekend because of all the Homecoming activities already taking place. Instead of having everything all at once, we have held TRUE BLUE week later on in the football season. Well, this year, TRUE BLUE WEEK will be the week before the last football game, which is Oct. 31-Nov. 4. Be thinking of this and get that spirit going once again!

Last. weekend five senate members attended, at Wayne State, th_e fall Legislative Assembly of the Nebraska State Student Association. It proved to be a very beneficial weekend for all who were involved. We discussed and familiarized ourselves with current legislative issues of higher education.

Getting together with other NSSA members, enabled us to realize that .many concerns and issues of individual campuses, are present on others as well. I am pleased to mention also that Peru State was well represented in comparison to the other larger colleges and had a definite impact on what took place. I truely believe this college is finally starting to be acknowledged and taken seriously instead of just being pushed aside. Dr. Gallentine, Dean Joy, Mrs. Gibbs, Senate members, Admissions personnel, Faculty, and all others who.sp_end long h_ours to make PSC what it is, give yourselves a big hand, because it shows!!

We will be having a Voter Registration booth next week so that all persons who are not yet registered may do so. Remember-it's your right and privilege to vote, so get registered and be able to have a voice in November. Watch for signs with further details.

In November also, we will be extending the library hours a couple nights a week. This will allow for the longer study time that some students felt was necessary. In order to keep the building open, however, we will need students to use it, so keep that in mind. More details of dates and hours in the next PED. Have a nice weekend and a great fall break next week!

had it, they said: "This is my Delta Sigma Phi Brother and he goes where ever I go." Thursday they dressed up all Clay and had their initiation ceremony that night. The following girls are now members of Delta Sigma Phi Little Sisters: Rhonda Behrens, Leshara; Denae Hemminger, Gretna; Kathy Mulcahy, Omaha; Joann Pohl, Ralston, and Terri Johannes, Hastings.

In conclusion, I feel that we are off to a great start and we have many events planned for this year. I would like to salute the group and say congratulations Little Sisters. Your loving friend as well as your President.

Placement directors from eleven Nebraska public and private colleges recently met in Lincoln, Nebr., to form a new organization called, CPAN (Col-, lege Placement Association of Nebraska). The primary purpose of this association shall be to foster cooperation among college placement offices responsible for ·non-teacher, ti on· graduates and to develop 'career planning and job search activities for those students pursuing non-teacher education degrees. ·

In recognizing that hiring practices are changing and that fewer on-campus recruiters are available, a concerted, cooperative effort is needed to assist the placement of students in business and industry. One of the first activities of this group involved the 'planning of two cooperative career fairs, one to be held at Kearney State College on November 14, 1983 and one in Omaha on April 5, 1984. This will provide the opportunity Jor employers to visit with a large number of students from a variety of colleges at one site and .hopefully allow 'Students to make contact with a broad spectrum of business and industr:y representatives.

Jn the first official meeting the following officers were elected for the 1983-84 school year: President - Bob Lohrberg, Wayne State. · Vice· President - Jackie Rosenlof,Kearney State.

· Secretary-Treasurer' - Dwight Garman, Peru State.

The following Nebraska colleges are participating members: Chadron State, College of St." Mary, Concordia, Dana, Hastings, Kearney State, Midland, Nebraska Wesleyan, Northeast Technical Community College, Peru State and Wayne State. Other institutions have stated an interest and are considering participation.

Criticism. Don't you get sick of it. I sure do. I receive more criticism about this newspaper than there are Oak trees on this campus. The journalism program was dropped, deleted, omitted, or excluded from the PSC 1984-85 catalog. Where will the PED go from here?

Fans support the football team, audiences praise the drama department, students join and support various clubs each year, yet the PED remains to be supported by a small group of students, small meaning on 'the average of one to five students. ·

Before you pick this paper apart from front page to back, headline to cutline, ask yourself if you would like to do without

this paper. If the answer is yes, without more contributions and support, your wish may come true.

On the lighter side of college life, the cross country teams, both men and women, are making history at PSC. They won the first annual "TransNebraska" tournament at Chadron. They deserve some recognition, , so give a cross country runner a pat on the back. -

The parking probleIP still needs to be ironed out on campus. The main problem: More parking stickers were issued to Delzel and Morgan Students than there are parking places. The solution: is there one?

75 •• 3 is Next Drama Production

By Tim Slagle

The Peru Players will continue its 75 season November 17 thru the 20 as they will perform , 75 divided by 3, three one-acts put together to show history of Peru Players. The first of th_e on.e-acts is "The Land of Hearts Desire," one of the reasons Dr. Eckert is doing this show is because its the first show ever done by the Peru Players in 1908.

The second of the 3 one-acts is "Waiting For Lefty,'' a show in the mid-thirties about a union of taxi drivers talking about going · on strike. With the many conflicts that arise it's not hard for the audieDce to get involved and by the end of the .show almost feeling as if they Jiave gone through ·the meeting as members themselves.

After the two dramatic one-acts, Dr. Eckert has decided to end the shows with the comedy, "Crawling Arnold Even though "Crawling Arnold"

is a comedy, it makes a statement on war, one that is still valid today.

Try-outs f.or 75 divided by 3 were Oct. 12 and 13. Dr. Eckert was real pleased with the turnout, over 30 people tried out, over half are no!l-theatre majors. ·

Dr. Eckert said he likes to have ·other department majors try out because it gives variety in people, more ideas.

The cast list went up on Friday, Oct. 14, for "The Land of Hearts Desire." The cast includes: Cody Mittan, Roger ·Tupper;Mark Gross, Raymond Smith, Barb Edwards, Shirley Smith, Tim Slagle and Kelly Harper'-the daughter of Dr. Harper.

Students Broadcast at KAUB

Students of Dr. Royal Eckert's Broadcast Journalism 260 class are presently working on radio show project called "The Voice of Peru."

According to Dr. Eckert, the 15 minute show "let's people know the happenings at Peru State." "The show also gives the students the opportunity to become .comfortable with the area of radio broadcasting," he said.

The show, which is broadcast on Fridays before the Auburn High football games on station KAUB-FM in Auburn, is organized into five basic catagories, the first being the lead story. A calendar of events is next,.followed by PSC sports, and interviews with Peru State faculty and staff. Special club events round out the show.

Research for the show is done by the students outside the

classroom, and then is put together, with.Jhe help of Dr. Eckert, during .regular class time. Because of the limited time on. the air, only four of the eight students are able to broadcast each week.

According to Vince Henzel, a student in the class, "I feel that this is a very good experience for students; it gives us the chance to report dn the air."

The eight students in the class are Sally DuBois, a junior from Nebraska City; Jack Frary, a freshman from Fort Calhoun; Vince Henzel, a junior from. Virginia; Cody Mittan, a sohomore from Omaha; Jeff Panko, a freshman from Lincoln; Nancy Sylvester, a freshman from Salem; Tim Slagel, a freshman from Lincoln;, and Don Strecker, a junior from Falls City.

Second Year for ROTC

By Linda Ganze!

The Reserve Officers Traing Corps, better known as ROTC, starts its second year this semester on the Peru campus. Presently 23 students are taking ROTC class.es. Assistant Professor of Military Science Captain John!.._. Shirk says, "It's not just for 19-23 year old males who want to be officers, it's open to anyone .who wants to develop their management skills."

"Whether a student realizes it or not, they are ahead of their peers when they decide to· go to college. When they graduate, they are expected to be a manager, teacher, or a leader," says Captain Shirk. ROTC offers courses for regular academic "Credit primarily designed to teach management and leadership skills supplementing any academic major. There are many benefits and no obligations in taking the 100 and 200 level ROTC courses. Military science courses may be

taken for credit by any student. Only those students who are enrolled in and have completed the final two years of ROTC are eligible for commissioning with a service obligation. ROTC graduates may serve in the active army or in the various reserve components.

Captain Shirk especially encourages students to take Mil 201 Leadership Assessment and Development. He says the leadership assessment course gives an introductory presentation of management skills which are the same skills most companies look for when assessing potential employees for manager positions. In some cases, it is the same process used by Bell Telephone, Internorth and Mutual of Omaha for hiring managers.

Captain Shirk hopes students will take advantage of ROTC classes early in their college career, learning those skills which will help them through college and later in their career.

Associating most of their material with the more humorous, , aJbei t risque parts of everyday life, the company incited tremendous amounts of laughter and applause from the audience, which was a crowd of about 175 people.

When asked about some of their more famous past members, one actor replied that he had "worked with Jim Belushi," one said that he had "known Bill Murray since he was a kid," and one sincerely stated that "comedy felt a great blow and a substantial loss, when John Belushi died."

Several of the members of the

troupe conimented on the nature of the auditions· for the touring company. "I went to an audition once-there were 500 people there," one said. "They told me this one guy was a doctor, and that I was a fatal cancer patient, and then they said 'go'!"

They also mentioned the type of confidence one needs to have in themselves if they plan on auditioning. ''You have to know that you want it."

They tour in companies of four men and two women. They use nose putty, and a little bit of base makeup, and some chairs. "The majority of the act is improvisational," one said, "but I love it."

Mrs. Schottenhamel says that the writing lab has proved to be "a great success." Statistics show that the use of the writing lab has improved test scores by 9 percentile points, with an

average gain-for students of 6.6 percentile points. Statistics also show that one third of the full time students made use of the lab and 600 papers were read. One half of the full time student body came in for tutoring in reading lab or other classes along with written assignments.

Mrs. Schottenhamel said that tutoring one on one with the student has proved to be a "very effective arrangement."

When the student seeks help at the writing lab, the tutors will help him or her diagnose the problem. They will help the student plan their papers and get them started. Students are encouraged to bring their papers that they are working on and the tutor will proofread their paper with the student.

The writing lab is funded by the Title III grant with the purpose of helping students with writing problems. Their goal is to keep students with writing problems from dropping out of college.

Writing ability is needed in all classes, knowing how to write well helps with the transmittion of ideas.

Guest Editorial

By Richard Ossian

We have all heard the severely outdated expression referring to cemeteries which runs: "people are just dying to get in there." Well, I've heard it, and I'm sure you probably nave, but the recent cemetery situation which this idiom reminds me of is ridiculous.

Word has reached my ear that the Peru Cemetery has locked its gates. When I heard why I ; had to restrain myself to keep · from laughing. As to any or licentious acts being committed on the grounds, I highly doubt it. A few harmless pranks, perhaps. Oh, and I heard tell of two or three students who went up there to "polish off" a bottle. If this is the

type of satanism, evil, or debauchery that is being spoken of, I say BIG DEAL! Anyone who thinks this is potentially dangerous obviously does not realize the true nature of satanistic vandalism. Now I'm not telling .you to rush right out and promptly trash your local graveyard, afld please don'tI'm merely trying to communicate to you the absence 'of anything morally harmful or degrading which is going on up at the cemetery. As to the devil worshipper himself, whose name will remain anonymous in this article, he is practically harmless. Wouldn't it just be real convenient if his major was in mortuary science? I sincerely doubt that a major field of study

would have anything to do with paying homage to Lucifer. However, a choice of field of study may explain a fetish towards graveyards.

I'm not saying that all of this is just a sick joke, either. Anyone who tells you that they worship the devil could be as serious as a proclaimed Agnostic or· Catholic. All that I am trying to tell you is that you need not be alarmed, or even feel uneasy, for that matter.

You are not "under his spell,", or hex, or anything like that. I am sure that he intends to do no harm to anyone-on campus, at least. The worst thing anybody could do at this time would be to blow it out of proportion.

Thank You.

A Parking Problem

By Richard Ossian

"No problem," said Linda Meyer. "As far as we know, the problem is that students don't know that they are not parking where they are supposed to."

Linda is the secretary at the physical plant. Anybody who's ever had to get a key for a dorm room or a parking sticker knows Linda. She and Walt _Bosley, head of maintenance, have been trying to sort out the parking situation since the· beginning of the semester.

"One of the reasons why so many tickets are being given out is because students haven't registered for their new parking stickers. Either they have changed automobiles or they simply did not get new stickers,'' said Linda. "Another reason is

because they haven't scraped their old stickers off of their old automobiles. If they could show· evidence of scraping;.off that old sticker, I would issue them a new one, and it wouldn't cost them a dime!"

Though, there are places where students cannot parkeven with a validated parking sticker. To find out about these areas, students need to contact the physical plant people-they will tell you where you can and cannot park.

Incidentally, there is somethinK on the priority list for the Board of Trustees which will relieve the situation-a work order for a new parking lot.

EDITOR'S NOTE: For commuters, and other concerned students: The parking problem is getting attention. On October 12, the Traffic Committee had

recommended that the parking spaces north of the Fine Arts Building, east of the island be designated as Delzell parking ONLY. It was also suggested that the alternative of on-street parking be explored befOre action is taken. The city will be asked to consider on-street parking for commuters ONLY. The Traffic Committee also raised the fine for parking in Ha,ndicapped Parking from five dollars to ten dollars, and if this did not keep unauthorized vehicles oµt, the money would be used to buy wheel locks. The wheel locks would be used on vehciles in Handicapped Parking only. The Committee inquired about using the parking ticket money to improve and repair parking lots. Obviously no action has been taken on this area.

Bobcats Close Season With A Win

The Peru State Bobcats football team ·closed the 1983 season with an improved 4-5 record following last Saturday's 26-6 win over Huron, S.D. College.

The win, which concluded Coach Adcox's first season as the Bobcat head coach was also · the first victory ever by a Peru State football team over a Huron team.

The Bobcats were led on offense by Tampa, Florida running backs David Pasley and Jeff George. Pasley rushed the ball 17 times for 149 yards and one touchdown, while George carried 21 times for 124 yards. This marked the second consecutive game that backs gained over 100 yards in a game.

George concluded the season with 811 yards, placing him fourth in the single-season rushing list. Pasley's 667 yards placed him ninth in the single-season list.

Saturday's game concluded the careers for two of Peru State's record holders, quarterback Mark Sievers, and split end Doug Barlow.

Sievers ended his career as the all-time leading passer in Bobcat history, throwing for over 2700 yards.

Barlow finished as the third all-time receiver in Peru State history behind Bobcat greats John Winkel 0969-72) and leader Roosevelt Brown 0977-80).

Two other Bobcats closing their season out ip fine style were linebacker Jim Parrish and safety Neil Wolfe.

Parrish set ·a new record for tacklesin a season; Wolfe ended the season as the team leader in interceptions with five, including two against Huron, one which·he returned 70 yards for Peru State's final touchdown.

Other seniors who played their final games for PSC included split end Steve Adams, offensive linemen Bob Bowman and Brad Osthus, and defensive. linemen Dennis Damm and Perry Scott.

Peru State Offers

Televised Courses

Peru State College will take a major step into the "electronic age" in January when Nebraska's oldest college begins offering televised courses for college credit.

The Campus of a Thousand Oaks will begin offering four credit-producing classes on the Nebraska Educational Television Network (NETV) beginning Jan. 28, according to PSC President Jerry Gallentine. Persons in any Nebraska household that can receive the NETV signal can take telecourses so long as they have received a high school diploma or equivalent.

"We are committed to making these telecourses of the highest possible quality," Dr. Gallentine said. "The Peru State instructors who will teach the four courses are among our· very finest, and they plan considerably more attention to each individual taking a telecourse than is the norm."

The courses can be taken in pursuit of a degree or for personal enrichment, Dr. Gallentine said. Three of the four courses will also count towards renewal of a Nebraska teaching certificate, Dr. Galletnine added.

The four courses include "The Business of Management," designed for small business owners and managers with little or no formal training in that area; ''Understanding Human Behavior," an introductory psychology course that encourages appreciation of the scientific approach to the study of human behavior; "Young and -a

special education course that illustrates many of the handicaps a teacher encounters in a "mainstreaming" program in today's elementary and secondary schools; and "Programming for Microcomputers," which teaches students the standard language for personal computers known as BASIC.

"Understanding Human Behavior," "Young and Special," and "Programming for Microcomputers" are the courses that can count towards renewal of a Nebraska teaching certificate.

All four courses begin on Saturday, Jan. 28, and all but "Young and Special" will be repeated on the following Sunday for those who miss a Saturday session. The microcomputer course is offered for two credit hours while the other three are offered for three credit hours.

"The Business of Management" and "Understanding Human Behavior" can also be taken through the University of Nebraska Division of Continuing Studies.

The Nebraska ETV signal can be received in nearly all of Nebraska, with translator stations or transmitters located in Alliance, Bassett, Hastings, Lexington, Lincoln, Merriman, Norfolk, North Platte, Omaha, Trenton, Pawnee City, Niobrara, Neligh, McCook, Benkelman, Blair, Chadron, Culbertson, Decatur, Falls City, Stratton, Verdigre, and Wauneta.

Coach Mebus came to the Student Senate meeting to inform us about a new project in which she is in charge. I was thrilled! It is an exercise trail which would be available to everyone for use. When I talk about working together, I don't mean just this organization or another. I mean teachers, administrators, students, par-

ents and anyone else who deals with Peru.

· As the leader of an organization I feel more people need to be involved with what is_happening at Peru. I fell that an exercise trail could be the beginning to better things. It may sound like a small item to write an editorial about but ·it's important. We already have a fund going and we are one-third of the way to. our goa:l, but, we need help and I feel that this is something _that everyone should take part in because everyone will use it. I would like all organizations to take part by donating money to the exercise trail, it will be well worth it. Let's work as a team!

\By _Lori Walton.

For the Record·

The letter above says more·. than meets the eye. Maxine Mebus, Instructor of Physical Education, has good intentions. with the proposed building of the Exer-Trail. The project would provide an exercise trail for use by the students and staff Of Peru State, College, the community of Peru, and the Southeast Nebraska region.

The exercise trail incorporates the benefits of jogging and exercise into a self-paced approach to physical fitness.

The President's Council on · Physical Fitness and Sports has endorsed the exercise trail concept for devloping fitness. A recent report stated, "The Council believes that every community should endeavor to have at least one exercise trail."

(Let's have Peru be the leader of the bandwagon).

The Exer-Trail is an outdoor jogging course which has a series of 9 or 18 fitness "stations" that have been· designed and constructed to develop and maintain all the major muscle groups. Signs at: each station instruct and describe the exercise to be performed and the appropriate repetitions for each level of fitness-beginner, intermediate, and advanced. The particular layout of the course is dependent on the environmental setting· (the trail would be ideat behind the HPER Center, where the cross-country teams run) and the number of stations to be included. The exercise stations are designed and arranged to be more challenging in the middle of the trail, while allowing time for a "warm up" and a "warm

down" at the beginning and end of each training session.

The cost. of this project is estimated at $4,684.20. This includes operating expenses, supplies, and materials (for a nine station Exer-Trail). Approximately one-third of this money has been raised from Research Funding and from the Student Senate. I am encouraging (and pleadingt that all clubs and organizations donate to this project. Each club and organization could donate between twenty and fifty dollars and we would have it by the end of school. A plaque could be placed at ··the beginning of the trail recognizing all contributors to the project. Twenty dollars is not much to ask for something that could benefit the entire Student Body. Think about it and react soon.

I would like to urge all students and faculty who drive State vehicles to keep close tabs on the maintenance of the vehicles. Report any major or minor malfunctions to the Maintenance department. I was one among fifteen students who were stranded in Lincoln about three weeks because the starter went out on a State van. This could- have been avoided if previous drivers of the van had reported the starter not working properly. It is very cold at 2:00 a.m. in downtown Lincoln. With the weather growing increasingly worse I'm sure no group or team wishes to experience the weather at 2:00 a.m. Maintenance does not drive these vehicles on a regular basis so it is up to the driver:> to any automotive problems that exist.

Peru Bloodmobile Success

Day Care Benefits Many

By Richard Ossian

"I think that within the next ten to fifteen years, we will see a shift towards government-subsidized day care - employers will be including j:fay care programs in their employee's benefits, and there will be just a "mushrooming" of federally regulated day care centers," said Barb Shupe, director of the Peru Day Care Center. However, she also stipulated that people should realize "how important private day care is and that it will still be around."

When asked about the future of day care centers in general, Barb said that "President Reagan has already made known his stand on quality day care and the necessity for it."

The Peru Day Care Center i:; located in the basement of the Administration Bulding, amid a myriad of children's toys, audio-visual equipment, and, of course, kids. Of the audio-visual aids Mrs. Shupe said that just recently the Day Care Center received a $500 Audio-Visual Nutrition Education Program for Pre-Schoolers. The package came from the Nebraska State Department of Education, and Mrs. Shupe said that they were "really lucky to get it. Out of all · the schools that applied, the Peru Day Care Center was one of the few to receive one." When asked to comment on the program, which, incidentally, is

called "Nutraphonics," she informed me that there were "14 units on nutrition-all of them incorporated into stories about animals. It's very nice."

The Day Care Center has been open now since August of 1982. That gives them jtist a year and a couple of months under their belt, or "just q,_ baby organization," according to Mrs. Shupe. Betty Davidson is head of the 'infant division' at the Day Care Center. Betty is affectionately known as "The Baby Lady" by the Day Care Center Staff. She told me some interesting facts about Day Cares which every interested mother should know about.

"Quite often there are more than 4 infants in the baby room at one time,". she said. "And that's when another adult has to be present." Apparently, the o.rea designated for the pre.: school age students needs to be watched by a ratio of one adult to six children. Betty also S(\id that she could "see why it costs $1.25 per hour for every infant instead of the regular $1.00 per hour for every pre-schoolage child. The reason is simply because we have to have more employees around when there are more

infants." "

And how does the Day Care Center classify an 'infant' from a 'pre-s(!hool' aged child? In other words, where do they draw the line? According to Betty, "when infants reach tbe age of

Directing Class Performs

On Nov. 30th and Dec. 1st, the six members of Dr. Eckert's Directing Class provided a variety of theatrical entertainment.

Each class member had chosen a one-act play, a cast, and a location for the play. Throughout the course, the "directors" have been surveying different styles of play directing used by the masters, and also experimenting with their own techniques. The one-act play will give them the opportunity to take on all phases of responsibility that go along with play directing. For example, each director is responsible for a floor-plan of the setting, a lighting design, lighting and sound cue-sheets, prop lists, tume sketches, and the lisL goos on. The first three plays were .Nov. 30th : "What did You :'What' For?" directed by

Northrup, at 9:40 a.m. on the park bench nearest tbe library: "It Hardly Matters Now," directed by Linda Shepard, at U:30tLm. and again at 12:30 p.m. in the Flsh Bowl; and "A Ma Her of Gender," directed by Sharri Sehrettter _ The Ias:t three on Dec. 1st: " directed bv Tim in the" Benfwd Arts Artist,

18 months, then they are considered toddlers. That's where we draw the line." By state law, the Day Care Center is not allowed to watch ·children who are under six weeks of age. When I asked Barb if they had any openings, she said: "Wellyes and no: Right now we're filled up in the baby room, but we can take three-year-olds or older. We're watching quite a few children."

For a closing comment, Barb added that, "the $1.00 per hour fee for each child comes nowhere near to covering the. cost of day care. If it weren't for donations frot_n denominational institutions that cater to education, we wouldn't be here."

A total of 136 pints of blood were given at the October 14 Red Cross bloodmobile, including 41 first-time donors, surpassing the day's goal of 115 pints. A total of 154 attended this year's event, with 18 individuals not able to donate at this time.

According to Barbara Shupe, County Blood Services Chairman, Peru's continuing success is due mainly to the extensive recruitment effort on the part of Peru State College students, staff, and people in the Peru area. Most of those donating have made appointments in advance-a definite asset fa planning the mobile.

The next Nemaha County bloodmobile will be December 12, at the Auburn 4-H Building from Noon to 6 p.m. Donors at Peru's October 14 mobile will be able to donate at the December 12 Auburn mobile. Following is

the Donor Tally for some outstanding Peruvians:

Reaching two gallons: Ricky Remmers. Working toward three gallons: Patsy Fike, Daryl Long, and Maynard Rippe. Working toward four gallons: Harvey Bergmann. Working toward five gallons: John Patterson. Working toward six gallons: Alice Meyers.

Reaching seven gallons: Gary Moore. Working toward eight gallons: Glade Goings. Working toward nine gallons: Alvin Haack. Those reaching gallon levels will receive their pins at the December 12 bloodmobile in Auburn. On behalf of those who were in need of blood, thanks to all who helped make the Peru bloodmobile such a great success.

Schreiner Attends Conferences

Recently, Kim Schreiner, a junior majoring in business administration and accounting, attended the FBLA-PBL Mountain Plains Regional Leadership Conference. The conference was held at the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs on November 3-5. The theme for the conference was "Getting Involved Today for Tomorrow." It was the largest regional confer-

ence to date with over 2200 people in attendance. Conference activities centered around developing leadership qualities. Various workshops included financial planning, time management, computer literacy, and decision making. The guest ·speaker for the opening ceremonies was Edward D. Miller, president and chief executive officer of FBLA-

PBL, Inc.

While she was there, Kim also did some sightseeing, which included tours of the Garden of the Gods, the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Van Briggle Pottery Studios, and the United States Air Force Academy.

According to Kim, the conference was very worthwhile for planning a career as well as the future.

Nfoe Peru State Bobcats earned All-District honors as voted by the NAIA District 11 coaches at their annual meeting held 'Tuesday, Nov. 15, at Concordia College of Seward.

Linebacker Jim Parrish and defensive guard Todd Ross were selected to the All-District first team on defense. Parrish, a senior from Falls City, was the Bobcat's leading tackler with 128 stops. Ross, a junior from Independence, Mo., and a Syracuse High grad, finished second in the final District statistics in quarterback sacks with 11.

Earning honorable-mention honors were defensive end Jeff Parker (junior, Granite City, Ill.), defensive back Fred Lee (sophomore, Plant City, Fla.;, and defensive back Neil Wolfe, (senior, Union). Wolfe and Lee tied for the team high in interceptions with five.

Bobcats picked to the honorable-mention All-District list on

Barlow finished the season ranking fifth in the District in receiving (474 yds., 52.7 yds. per game), and second in punt returns at 9.5 per return. George ranked fourth among District rushers with 811 yards and a 90.1 per-game average.

"I was very pleased to have two players on the first team defense,"'said head Coach Jay Adcox, "I'm glad to see them get the recognition they deserve."

As a team, the Bobcats' defense led the District in fewest yards allowed, yielding 249.4.

The Bobcats finished 4-5 overall under Adcox's first year.

Corey Placed in Top Third

Peru State sophomore Cheryl Corey competed last Saturday, Nov. 19, at the NAIA national cross-country championships. The meet was held on the University of Wisconsin-Parkside campus in Kenosha; Wisconsin.

A native of Lincoln, Corey finished 93rd out of 257 runners in the women's race, running the three-mile course in a time of 19:45. Corey was defeated by only one runner from the District 11 <Carla Christianson of Midland).

Peru State cross-country

Coach Dennis Obermeyer said that he was "real pleased with how she ran." The course was a very tough course, but she ran well," Obermeyer said.

A graduate of Lincoln Northeast, Corey is the daughter of Bobby and Marilyn Corey.

Cheryl will compete with her twin sister Nancy, sophomore, Lincoln and Falls City junior Don Strecker at the District 11 Marathon on December 3 in Fremont. Strecker will be competing in his first ever marathon, while the Corey's will be entering their third.

LA. Elves Strike Again

By Dave Harrington

The industrial arts department is putting in time as "Santa's Elves," as they are building toys to go to the needy children in the surrounding Peru area for Christmas.

The Kiwanis club paid for the rough lumber, and the I.A. students cut it to size and will make toys in a mass production type style.

Some of the toys to be manufactured are: Pound-apeg, a game for adolescents where after you knock the pegs down. even with the surface of the top, you can turn it over and start all over again. Cars are also being made. They resemble a pick-up, a

Volkswagon, and a race car-all with moving wheels. And a school bus that holds six passengers and the driver, all , removable, and with happy faces.

The process is not 'slap together, set in a corner, start agafo.' · Some of the students come in and make tile wheels, some drill, a11d some do the sanding. This is a time consumi11g project.

"A race car takes maybe, three hours or so," said LA. club president Michael Rains.

Although they have no specific goal for the number of toys to be produced, last year they made about 150 toys, Michael Rains said, "maybe 200 this year. n The I.A. "elves" strike again!

Season Record Tops All

Coach Jim Libal's Lady Bobcats own one of the best early season records this season, 5-2, of any women's basketball team since the sport began back in the 1970's, as· they defeated Wayne State College 84-79 last Saturday in Wayne.

The wome11JPar.keQ.. the fifth of the seasoµ .,and includes their last four straight.

Linda Shepard, a 5-7 junior from Lincoln, has been the leading scorer thus far .this season, and led the Lady .Bobcats against Wayne with 19 points.

Stefanie Ahern, a 5-7 senior from Malvern, Ia., chipped in 15 points and senior Colleen Chapman, Grand Island added 13 points.

"Coach Libal has been a big .difference this season," said

Chapman; he and the team's conference have made the difference. "It's nice to be winning.''

Friday (Dec. 9) and Saturday, the Lady Bobcats will be in the Nebraska Wesleyan tournament in Lincoln.

The Lady Bobcats will,meet Bethel, Kan. at 6 p.m. was also in action Tuesday as they hosted Washburn University, and Wednesday night as they traveled to Concordia College of Seward.

Peru has been led in scoring by Linda Shepard, who has been averaging 17 points per game. Alice Andersen, a 6-0 senior from Omaha, is second in scoring at 13 points per game and eight rebounds.

A big contributing factor this season has been Leigh Moss, a

6-0 freshman who has produced 8 points per game and" six rebounds.

Seniors Stefanie Ahern and Colleen Chapman, after having started the season, have both been in double figures in their last ••

Another reason for the· Lady Bobcats success has been their defense, which has allowed just under 68 points per game. The Lady Bobcats defense helped them pull out a win against Kearney State last Tuesday 75-70 and the HPER.

"Our defense is slowly coming around," said head coach Jim Libal, "we're beginning to play up to our potential."

The Lady Bobcats will close out the semester Dec. 16 as Peru hosts Hastings College at 7:30 p.m. in a make-up game.

The Bobcats won their fourth straight game last Saturday as they defeated Graceland College £2-59 in Lamoni, Ia.

Brian Strother, a 6-4 senior, led the Cats with 23 points. The Broken Arrow, Okla. native has been the leading scorer averag-ing 14 points per game and six rebounds this season.

Peru upped their record to 6-5 with the win over Graceland. , The. recent Bobcat surge has been attributed to many things.

Mike Miller, a 6-0 senior guard, has been a scoring threat

averaging 12 pohns per game. After a slow start. junior Greg Thomas has made a good contribution with 11 points per game and six rebounds.

Morris Liesemeyer, a 6-5 senior, has been battling back from knee surgery to bring stability to the forward spot. Likewise junior Corky Wiseman has also battled a knee injury, and has begun to contribute.

The Bobcats have begun to jell as a team recently as many of the newcomers have worked into the offensive scheme and the 'Cats defense has stiffened.

The Bobcats will close out the semester Friday, December 16, as they travel to Bellevue to meet Bellevue College in a Nebraska Athletic Contest.

The Bobcats are currently 1-0 in conference play as they defeated Wayne State Nov. 22 in the HPER 75-69.

New Food Service ·Manager

By Marsha Kentopp

th ped the voice of the f eru state bobcats!

Number 8 Peru State College, Peru, Nebr. 68421

January 27, 1984

The man behind many of the new changes and improvements in the PSC cafeteria and the Bob-In is James (J.B.) Braun, the new food service manager here. Originally and most recently from St. Louis, J. B. has been with the American Food Service Company for 11 months.

J. B. attended the University of Kansas and the University of Missouri, where he also taught. His hobbies are golfing and building and refinishing furniture. J. B. is single.

James intends to make overall improvements in the PSC cafeteria, many of which are visible. When asked about many of the new changes, J.B. replied, "You haven't seen anything yet."

These are some of the new changes that have taken place in the cafeteria: a new speed line (for student convenience), the hot vegetable bar, improved Sunday meals, homemade recipes, and more fruit. Breakfast is also being expanded, with three kinds of eggs, a bread item, fresh fruit, pastries, and hot cereal included. Another development has been the suggestion box. Students are encouraged to write their complaints and compliments down and leave them in the box. The management will provide answers and post them on a cafeteria bulletin board. J. B. wants students to "keep sending in those suggestions so that the management will be aware of the students' ideas and needs."

Here are some typical

questions students have been asking:

1. Q. Could we have more salad dressings?

A. Yes. There are now 6 different salad dressings instead of 3.

2. Q. Wh¥ has the table arrangement been changed?

A. At times the table arrangement will be changed for variety, and the management is working on a flow system for the tables in order to provide the greatest seating efficiency.

3. Q. Could you provide water to drink?

A. The management is hoping to get a new water fountain-dispenser for use in the cafeteria.

4. Q. The potato salad is great, but the coleslaw needs improvement.

A. The cafeteria staff welcomes new recipes, and students may suggest new ideas.

5. Q. The lines are slow on "special" nights.

A. From now on, there will be two lines on any steak or shrimp · nights.

6. The food has been very good. Keep it up!

A. Thanks!

6. Q. Something besides sack lunches should be provided for students who have class conflicts.

A. Students who have class conflicts should see James 'Braun and they will be allowed to eat in the Bob-In. They can spend $1.60 in the snack bar or they may get the hot line special and drink.

7. Q. Can we get some skim milk?

A. Some has been ordered.

New Resident Life Director

Peru State College has announced the appointment of Kristine F. Oswald to the position of Director of Residence Life, according to Dr. Jerry Gallentine, president.

Miss Oswald assumes the position vacated last month by Patricia Conway, who took a similar position at an Iowa college.

State from the Universitv of Northern Iowa at Cedar Falls, where she received her Master of Arts in Agency Counselmg degree in December.

She received her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology degree from the University of Dubuque (Iowa) in 1981. She is a native of Dubuque.

This is the faculty lounge, located on the first floor of the STUDENT Center. As you can see it is vacant, and rarely used by faculty. ·

"Peru State College is fortunate to have attracted a person of Miss Oswald's background and capabilities," Dr. Gallentine said. "She comes to this institution with a wide variety of pertinent experiences at other midwestern colleges; a fact we think will be of extreme value as our residence life program continues to grow and develop."

One of Miss Oswald's primary responsibilities will be the day-to-day operation of Peru State's dormitory system. She - will also serve as a counselor to Peru State students.

''Residence life activities play a major role in student life," Dr. Gallentine said, "and as our dormitory occupancy continues to increase, residence life activities become that much more important."

Miss Oswald comes to Peru

Miss Oswald served as Head Resident and Student Activities Coordinator at Westmar College in LeMars, Iowa in 1981-82. She gained additional residence life experience during herundergraduate days at the University of Dubuque, where she spent three years as a dormitory resident assistant. She did volunteer social work in Dubuque as well.

"I like the atmosphere on a college campus, and I really enjoy working with the students," she said. "The students I've met so far at Peru State have a real positive attitude and seem very involved in campus activities. ·

"In particular I have impressed with the leadership potential of the Resident Assistants and the Residence Directors in the dormitories at Peru State," she added.

Cartoonist at Peru State

Dick Locher (p_ronounced LO-ker), 1983 Pulitzer Prize-winning editprial cartoonist for the Chicago "Tribune," will be at Peru State College on Friday, J;m. 27.

Welcome back. Second semester is in·· full swing and to no surprise, the theatre department has already begun rehearsals for this years ., musical "Girl Crazy," appearing February 16-19.

"Girl Crazy," co-directed by Dr. Harper and Dr. Edris, is a show written in the thirties and is being set in the present. The show as Dr. Harper puts it is "the eternal love triangle." Johnny, the male lead (played by Brett Huston) is in love with Molly (played by Lori Kimball), however Molly doesn't love Johnny. Problems? Well that's

just the beginning, because Kate, a star from New York (portrayed by Lore Dorsey) is an old flame of Johnny's and comes to Cuttersville to get Johnny baclc

The decision's up in the air until the final curtain as other characters help twist the plot such as: Zoli (Kate's ex-husband) played by Eric Rothell. Sam (Johnny's agent) played by Tim Slagle. Doc and Snake Eyes (the town hoods) p9rtrayed by Lewell Jones and Jim Sughroue. And Tessa and Rita (Friends of Johnny) cast, was Karen Gerking and Kathy Mulcahy. Jamie Thompson, Chris Salberg, Roger Tupper and

There is also Sherri Rummel, Lori Walton, Kathy Larchevesque, Donna Christofferson and Kim Gerking portraying girls and dancers/ This musical was picked mainly because of all the good music, said Dr. Harper. "Oldies but Goldies," like: "I've Got Rhythm," and "But Not For Me."

With this music and such a good cast, how can you go wrong? Looks like the .75tb season is shaping up just like we hoped.

Christian Conference Rewarding

By Carrie Nelson

December 27 through January

1, Missy Trujillo and I had the privilege to attend a conference in Kansas City entitled "KC '83."

(We would like to extend a special thanks to Campus Ministries for their financial support.) Approximately 18,000 college students and staff members from all over the United States, Canada, and other countries attended, representing Campus Crusade for Christ, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, sororities, fraternities, other organizations, and those who felt it was worth the trip. I wish that those who wanted to go could have been with us because it was such a neat experience.

Missy summed up the week in this way:

"KC '83" had to be one of the most encouraging experiences of my 4 years in college. To be in the midst of 18,000 other students together for the cause of Christ inspired a deep sense of hope in my heart. It made me realize it is not such a rarity to be a Christian in college. Believe me-there is a young generation existing now who has a sincere faith in Jesus Christ and we will have a powerful influence in this world because we are taking a stand for Him!!" (That truly it am.

The theme was "It was Only a Matter of Time," signifying the need for college students who are to be an influential part of our society, to take a stand for their Christianity.

·Various sessions, seminars, singing, group discussions, concerts, exhibits, interviews, and fellowship were a part of the week. Some of the· sessions included: "What Kind of Person It Takes to Make an Impact on a Deteriorating Society," by Howard Hendricks; "The Challenge of The Cross," by Dr. Billy Graham; "The Goal of Life is not Happiness but Eternal Significance," by Crawford Loritz; "Endurance on the .Path," by Elizabeth Elliot, and "Being a Revolutionary in Non-revolutionary Society," by Josh McDowell.

Everyone attending had a chance to explore what Campus Crusade for Cnrist is doing in the U.S. and around the world. Some of these include "Movement 2000," which is a plan to expand and develop U.S. ministries; how to continue expansion of overseas ministries to every nation, use of the media; outreach training, and what 23 U.S. ministries are dojng to influence different segments of society.

Delegates also had the opportunity to view the "Jesus"

film which is an adaptation of the Gospel of Luke, translated into at least 73 languages, and taken by film teams to villages in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. What was learned? Some issues stressed in the seminars were: "How to Improve SelfImage," "Discovering the Will of God," "Answers through the Bible," and "Christianity in Relationships." The students were to "take seriously the challenge before us and remember what the components of courage are."

Christian ,college students realize that many young people wander from their faith during .high school and college. Many of us learned methods of intellectually discussing issues in the Bible and practical day by day application of faith. We also learned that there is a need for character, confidence, involvement and convictions in our lives.

The week made quite an impact on most everyone attending. Genon Jenson· from Grand Island typically stated: "I always believed, but I see now what it's really all about. I never tl)ought that much about convictions and standing for what I believe in. We're in a minority on campus and makes it really tough, especially in today's society."

Saturday, Ja. .SS.A. members met m Sara Donovan, Tim Schrier, Laurei Smi.Ux attended from Pem'i!> <:&ltn:PHS. We had the meet the Director after review ml!lnv reswnes and interviews. Ricllard Lombardi was selected and we're confident that he will provide the level of skill and leadership needed for our cause.

A conference on financing postsecondary education has been rescheduled due to numerous conflicts. This conferencewas initiated to look at financing of higher education with N.S.S.A. Board members to represent students. Sara was selected as a panel member for discussion.

A Legislative Bill 1057 relating to post-secondary education needs to be passed. N.S.S.A. is working on it and students need to be heard. This Bill would provide a work-study program; financial assistance to eligible Nebraska students. Some copies of this are in the library, so please read it and write to your senator. I would like to at this time present to you a brief explanation again on what N .S.S.A. is all about. Each one of Peru's students is a member ( $.50 dues paid with fees). In the beginning N.S.S.A. was formed because it was realized that students, as consumers of education, must have a voice in the Legislature on issues regarding education. There were four catalyst for organizing: (1) increasing cost of education; (2) erosion of quality; (3) erosion of commit-

tment to education (4) students couldn't afford not to organize. Peru and UNL were the first two members. Some activities of N.S.S.A in the past were: told Congress to lay off (massive financial aid reductions) because we need that money and to at least retain the current level of spem:ling for assistance programs. Also, a Resolution 243 gave recognition to N.S.S.A. and· its credibility. Governor Thone was supportive, voter registration was successful, N.S.S.A. was involved in an effort to reinstate the funds and ward off attacks on state colleges, strongly supported state based financial assistance, and i-s providing greater continuity for student concerns. N.S.S.A. is unique in that the students' voice can be heard, all campuses work together <UNL, UNO;Peru, and Wayne) and we have professional full-time staff working year-round. N.S.S.A. is committed to students and has a sound structure respected bv the Legisla lure. ·

Student involvement is very important. Anyone who would like to attend the next assembly in February or just learn more about N.S.S.A. please contact Sara or me. Becoming aware of what you're a member will open up communication Sara Donovan and I would like to thank everyone who went with us to the N.S.S.A. board meeting and outreach training session in Lincoln. We truly appreciate the interest since this is an organization to get student input into the Legislature. More information about what N.S.S.A. is doing will be in the dext PED.

Again, thanks, Carrie Nelson.

For The Record

Another semester well under way. Hassles, Problems. Troubles. You didn't get the class with the good-lookin' blonde. You have to m,iss "All My Children" on Tuesdays and Thursdays. And worst of all, it's colder than hell out and so undoubtedly you have to walk to. your 8 o'clock class in 15 below weather. What?

You say, no, I drive on campus. How sad. How sad to think what an inconsiderate creep you are to take someone's•parking place who drives anywhere from 10 to 50 miles every morning. That means they get up at approximately 5:45 a.m. to be ready tu leave between 7:00and 7:15 a.m.

Just to arrive at Peru's Industrial Arts parking lot and see it full of suffering, cold Complex students cars. Students who had to suffer the dreaded

two block drive. How sad. Did you know that a Complex girl was complaining she got a ticket for parking in a tow away zone, because the IA parking lot was full. I almost cried. I thought of this poor, young girl who suffered a two block drive only to find the parking lot full. Depressing isn't· it.

Solution: Higher fines and penalties for parking in the incorrect zone. There is plenty of parking spaces for commuters if Complex people would keep out between 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m The retention of commuters will decline if something is not done and soon. Rules need to be enforced, no more excuses or brush-offs. The handwriting _is on the wall.

A fine of $10 would make someone think twice before opening their car door for a two block drive.

Diet, .Nutrition, and Exercise

By Ron Olsen Director of Human Performance Lab

Dieting is probably one of the oldest and most abused practices in our fad oriented society. For some strange reason, the ringing in of the New Year ·produces the yearly resolutions, that will be broken within a matter of weeks. One of the more popular and potentially dangerous to a resolutors health status, is the vow to lose weight. Exercise physiologists always enjoy trying to guess diet the resolutor will pick. There is a wide range of these "fad" diets to choose from: The high protein diets, to the grapefruit diets, the, famous Stillman water diet <Stillman died of a heart attack a few years ago), to the potentially more hazardous Cambridge liquid diet. There is also the ever popular starvation used by anorexics. However, bulimia, which dates back to the Roman Empire, has become the latest fad with high school girls and college sororities. All of these fad diets have two things in common, they do not work and they are all hazardous to a person's health. Some of them can even be fatal to the dieter.

The primary problem with fad dieters is a total misconception and lack of knowledge of body composition, diet .• and or, nutrition. The purpose of this article and my future articles will be to provide in1ormation on the latest research on body composition, diet, and nutrition. I hope that the reader wiH develop technical expertise to aid in making an intelligent decision about diet and nutrition, based on science rather than myth or hearsay.

Bingo- Winners

Winners of January 19, Bingo Night held in the Bob Inn were: Brian Weber, Magic Markers; Lewell Jones, one liter Sprite; Peggy Hartnett, one jar peanuts; Shari Vaughn, Dentine multi-pak; Rodney Lahodny, Richard Pryor tape; Susan Honea, M & M's multi-pak; ·Lewell Jones, Heather Thomas poster; Anastasia Meares, "Blacky" from General Hospital poster; Carolyn McLaughlin, Cheese Balls; Mark Ortmeier, Quiet Riot tape; Tim Slagle, five dollars; Mark Ortmeier, five dollars;· and Lewell Jones, ten dollars. Bingo Night is held once a month, with a variety of prizes for everyone.

The primary' weakness of scales, and height and weight tables used by insurance companies for statistical assessment of obesity, is that they do not provide any information on exact compositional. makeup of body weights. An individual who loses ten pounds of body weight has virtually no information on what camponent of the body composition was lost. Body weight is a factor of four separate com.port-en ts: bone; internal organs, fluid muscle, and fat. This is an extremely important concept for a diet conscious individual to keep in mind. Katch (1981) gives an example of a 21 year old football player who is 74 inches tall and weighs 255 pounds. Insurance companies statistics and also the U.S. Public Health Service

Nutrition Exam Survey criteria would list the football players ideal body weight between 173 and 194 pounds. The criteria for these tables would indicate that the player is overweight and should reduce his weight by at least 61 lbs. in order to obtain upper range weight level. Hydrostatic underwater weighing proved that the player's total body weight was made up of only 12.7 per cent fat which is below the standard of 15 per cent for a normal sedentary similar individual. While the insurance company and the Health Service had him .61 lbs. overweight, in actuality, his per cent body fat was under the norn:;ts for his population. The conclusion that

can be drawn from this example is that the alleged 61 lbs. overweight estimate by the height-weight is inaccurate when compared with careful analysis of body composition by underwater weighing. By this analysis, it can be seen that this person is overweight due to hypertrophy of his muscles. The word "overweight" is a rather empty term, that gives no information about the three major components of body composition. A decision to go on a diet based only on the scale weight or a height-weight standard table would be a mistake, that could be harmful to one's health. A much wiser alternative would be "first" to analyze one's body composition through hydrostatic underwater weighing. Then a dietary and exercise program should be planned based on the conclusions of the body composition analysis. If interested, contact Ron Olsen, Director of Human Performance Lab.

Exercise for the Nonathletic

Making the rounds is a calorie guide citing a recent medical association report: "Proper weight control and physical fitness cannot be attained by dieting alone. Many people who are engaged in sedentary occupations do not realize that calories can be burned by the hundreds by engaging in strenuous activities that do not require physical exercise."

PSC Sets Pool Hours

Open hours for the indoor swimming pool at Peru State College have been established for the remainder of ,.the academic year, according to Dr. Wayne Davidson, chairman of the division of health, physical education and recreation at PSC.

The Olympic-size swimming and diving pool, located in Peru State's HPER Center, is open to the public free of charge four days per week, Dr. Davidson said.

The general public can use the pool on Tuesdays and Thursday from 7-9 p.m., or on Saturdays and Sundays from 2-4 p.m. Certified lifeguards will be on hand at all times, he said. Dr. Davidson noted that the pool will be closed on evenings when PSC varsity basketball games are scheduled and during an upcoming high school basketball tourney. Those dates include Jan. 17, 19, 26 and 31. Organizations are welcome to use the pool as well, Dr. Davidsoi;i said.

Peru Honors Outstanding Students

By Marsha Kentopp

Seventy-four students at Peru State College who have been named to the first semester honor roll were recognized at an "Honors Convocation" on Wednesday, Feb. 1.

Enrollment Figures R'ise

Peru State College continues to follow an upward enrollment pat tern with second term on-campus figures reflecting a 26 per cent jump over the same period last year, according to PSC President Jerry Gallentine.

A major factor in the enrollment. boost is improved retention at Nebraska's oldest college; Dr. Gallentine noted. On-campus enrollment at Peru State hit 802 this term. That compares to 634 at this time last year, Dr. Gallentine reported.

Peru State traditionally experiences a 10 per cent transfer er dropout rate between the ffrst and second semesters, as do most institutes of education, Gallentine said. That figure fell to just four per cent this year.

"We attribute the gains in retention to a number of factors," Dr. Gallentine said.

"Programs through our stu.aent development office such as 'Grandparents' and 'Parents Days,' improved counselirtg and guidance efforts, better residence life activities, and outstanding work by our student programs personnel are some of the reasons we're keeping more students."

Gallentine also made some projections for the remainder of the second term. ''We anticipate that when our extension courses are completed, our total spring semester enrollment will be in the vicinity of 1,200 s tu den ts,'' he said.

"Our full-time equivalency (FTEl figures, reflecting the number of credit-hours being taken by our students and thus ·the tuition inc;)me ge;1erated by Peru State, should approach 900 compared to 709 at this time last _year,"; Dr. Gallentine said.

Michael Northrup, a senior speech-drama and journalism major; Theresa Polsley, a junior elementary education major; Linda Redfern, a sophomore geography major; Kellie Rhodd, a junior business administration major; Cindy Rieke, a senior elementary education and art major.

Lori Rubenking, a sophomore elementary education major; Christopher R. Salberg, a sophomore industrial arts major; Arlene Scheinost, a freshman computer programming and mathematics major; Jeanine Schreiner, a sophomore with an undeclared major; Traci Schreiner, a freshman biology major.

PAF Initiates Drive

A $25,000 fund drive in Southeast Nebraska and Southwest Iowa has been announced by Ross Adams, president of the Peru Achievement Foundation.

The P.A.F. is the non-profit corporation developed in 1955 for the support of Peru State College.

Announcement of the fund drive came at the Foundation's regular semi-monthly meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 18 at the Cafe Theater in Table Rock.

The fund drive has been divided into several countywide and regional areas, with volunteers in each area conducting the drive. Donations will be solicited from local businesses, PSC alumni, and friends of the college.

Nearly one-third of the goal has , already .been raised, according to Dr'. Jerry Gallentine, PSC president. Over $5,000 was raised from Peru State faculty staff and students, while Foundation members in Auburn have already been pleJged well

over $3,000 from that community.

Plans call for the drive to be completed by May 1, with proceeds to be _ used for scholarship, retention and recruitment, and other areas where state funding is inadequate for current Peru State College needs.

"Peru State College continues to grow, and continues to attract more Southeast Nebraska and Southwest Iowa students," Dr. Gallentine said. "We are experiencing a critical demand for more scholarship dollars, since many middle-income families no longer qualify for some federal financial aid programs and yet find it difficult to wholly subsidize a college education, even at schools such as ours with low tuition rates."

Dr. Gallentine also reported to the Foundation on second-semester enrollment at PSC. On-campus figures indicate a 26 per cent increase from the sarr 0 time last year.

and look Out Padre Island ·Letter to the Editor

By Marsha

Twenty Peru State students have an exciting spring break planned this year. They have their sights· set on South Padre Island, Texas, which is located on the Gulf of Mexico. Padre is a favorite vacationing spot f<m many college students.

Besides the ever-favorite "fun in the sun" activities, the trip also holds possibilities for a good learning experience. South Padre Island iS'rich in history. Spanish explorers, hoping to establish permanent settlements, came her& 100 years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth. The earliest written history concerning South Padre dates back to 1519. As time continued, the favorable climate more and inore people.

It didn't. take much time to recognize that South Padre had the traits to make if'an excellent resort ,area. Wealthy Spanish families from Northern Mexico were 'attracted to this resort area as early as 1'788. Enough of the history-(We know what our PSC travelers· are really interested in!)

Walking along the miles of unspoiled getting a great tan '(or.stinging burn), and taking in the activities and evening .entertainment will provide plenty of fun. Also, optiollal tripsinto Mexico will be. available.

The Peru party will be staying in ocean front condominiums at the very tip of .South Padre. The complexes have pools, jacuzzies, and free tennis. The trip package provides a

week's lodging for the reasonable· price of $126, with additional costs for food and transportation. Means. of transportation is being provided by Peru State. The package trip is made possible through the travel agency, Travel Associates, Inc. In' talking to· several of the prospective vacationers, the building enthusiasm becomes evident. One traveler, Caroline -McLaughlin of Glenwood, Iowa, summed up her hopes: "I want to get a fabulous tan and rest on the Sandy white beaches." Another prospective beach bum, SaraBeth Donovan of Lincoln, expressed her thoughts: "I want to. see the sights and take in the many new opportunities and the tropical excitement that Peru, NE can't offer." Look out, Padre Island!!

I would like to make a comment to the people of Peru about our future young leaders of our country. It seems more often than not, that our outlook for our generation tends to be a bit dim, and this should not }:)e. A few years ago, my

family ·was informed that our three sons, Robbie (age 14), ll'im (10), and Jon (5), have-a disease called Rhetinitis ·. Pigmentosis. This is a deterioration of the retina of the eye, causing future !:>lindness. Our. oldest son is· legally blind.in one eye, and has reduc;ed sight in the other. eye. The oldest .two sons, have night blindness as well. At this time; there is not a treatment or a cure. One day my oldest son came to me and said, "Dad, what can I do, I get so bored?" He can not play basketball, football, or baseball, like other neighborhood kids, because his reflexes are too slow and he often gets hit. I told him to play .with his toys, but he said he was tired of them. So I told him that he needecta hobby to occµpy his time. I said, "Rob go pick up aluminum cans to sell for money so you can buy new toys, games

and computers." I talked to some PSC students, who lived in Delzell Hall, and told them how my son and I sell aluminum cans. Many students chipP,ed in to help save cans for us. This was about one and a half years ago. This year some of the guys in Delzell took the project up again. I receive boxed cans from

• all over the building. There is now enough money involved to open a savings account. This money will be used to buy talking calculators, and machines that. cost hundreds of dollars. These are investments that will help further the education of my three sons. I want to thank Andy Andreas Pat Dennis, and Tom for their special help, just to mention a few of the many guys that got this project· going. I would also like to thank the entire group of truly great guys in Delzell for their supporC in making this project possible. I want credit given where it is due: "Thanks guys for all your Cooperation."

The Custod.ian: "Del from Delzell." ·

A It comes that way, but we'll thin it up ·a little. ·

A. O.,K.

5. Q. Put curtains up on north windo.ws.

Women's Bas· rlloll Advancing

By Linda Shepard

You. all remember the Lady Bobcats from last season, the girls with the 6-19 record. You may even remember the season before that when they were 3-18. At the end of this season you will remember the Lady 'Cats in a greater light. The Lady 'Cats have' already achieved a wjnning record. It may seem strange to some but the personnel on the team hasn't changed much at all. Linda Shepard, Alice Andersen, Carla Frauen, Stephanie Ahern and Georjean Schimke have all returned from last year. The answer to the Lady, 'Cats problem was Coach James, Libal of Virginia, Nebraska.

Libal is a hard worker who is serious about his basketball. He h.as a delightful sense of humor

and there .is ts easy to talk to.

Libal c:aipe m words like anddedi had meaning for Ubail and ms team. He had walktd wo a program which needed a rot (}{ understanding. lle came in with an open mind and a listening 'ear. He gave the team a crash course in Jim Libal basketbaill theorv. The first lesson, "I'm the coach, you're the player." The second 'lesson, "You girls can work hard or sit and chat with me on the bench." Is that all it took to get the ball rolling for the Lady 'Cats" That must have been it the Lady Bobcats now have a 16-5 record overall and are 3-0 in conference play. The Lady Bobcats are really proud of their new coach. "I wish he had been here two years ago," said Andersen. Freshman

Leigh Moss said, "I would lov to have him for three mo years." Freshman Lori Ptacni had a single statement, "He's wonderful guy."

There is no doubt Libal is good coach. He had six seaso as the head boys's basketba coach at Lewiston high scho and left with a record of 88-42. Some of the Lady Bobcats ar hitting individual goals as well as team goals. Alice Andersen is first in the district in rebounds. Linda Shepard is second in district scoring. Stephanie Ahern is first in free throws ana close behind her is Leigh Moss. The Lady 'Cats are proud of their success and their new coach, but they aren't the only ones who are proud. A few weeks ago Libal was asked to come back and ·coach next year at PSC and he said the magic word "Yes."

'Cats Pluck Ravens

Peru State College clinched an important victory over Benedictine College last Saturday nite with the score, 67-62. Behind by one point at half, Peru came out for the second half, determined to end the game victorious. The first period was highlighted by the Bobcat's 100 per cent at the free throw line, an achievement well worth recognition. Mike Miller (Senior, MOl set the pace by shooting 8 for 8 at the foul line. Miller also led the Bobcats with 14 total pts. for the nite. Tied for second in total points, were Tyrone Willis (Junior transfer, Independence, MO l and By,.ran Strothers (Senior, Broken Arrow, OKl, both letting loose with 12 pts. a piece, further insuring the Bobcat victory. Pat Harrison (Senior, Omaha, NE) and Mark Ortmeier (Junior, West Point. NEl followed suit w'th 10 and 9 pts. respectively.

A contributing factor to Peru's success, was their domination on the boards the second half. Peru pulled down 24 rebounds to Benedictine's 12. Leading the boards was Strothers with 8, followed by Morris Liesemeyer

Student Participation A Must

By Carrie Nelson

As a student in Nebraska, and for many, a citizen, participation is stressed by those in the government system. I'd like to present to you some information deemed necessary for all citizens to know by the Unicameral information office.

Our one-house nonpartisan Legislature is .a system of state government unique with the other 49 states having two• chamber legislatures. A recent independent study of the 50 state legislatures ranked Nebraska first in accountability and ninth in overall structure and organization. We have these high marks because of the open meetings accessible records and relatively uncomplicated procedures.

The senators are our elected representatives to the Nebraska Legislature, which meets each January in Lincoln, each ex is ting ·for two years. In odd-numbered years, a session meets for 90 days; in even numbered years, the session is 60 days 4 Each of Nebraska's 49 state legislators, elected from districts throughout the state, represents about 30,000 people. Your views, therefore, are IMPORTANT to your senator.

There -are several ways in which you, as concerned citizens and students can communicate effectively with your senator, who is ,probably a very nice person, in an attempt t0csuggest or influence legislation. They include: Personal Contact-talk to your senator, .this impresses them most and you can become an important source of information on issues that concern you.

Letters: They should be personal and informative.

Phone calls: If you're not a letter writer but is most inconvenient for the sen a tor who's very busy.

_

Testimony: This is before a ' committee, such as the Education Committee, and provides an opportunity for you to make you or your organizations' views known. You don't have to know alot, just be concerned and take advantage of the system of government we do have.

To receive weekly information on legislative activities, copies of bills, daily journals and transcripts of proceedings write: Patrick J. O'Donnell, Clerk of · the Room 2018, State Capitol. The Hotline is in operation 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mon. through Fri. (471-2035).

Head Coach Jim Libal said State.in women's basketball. that Monday's game w9uld be used to give fieveral of the players, who could give extensive playing time next season, a chance to play as a unit. '

Wednesday night, the Lady Bobcats.seeked their fourth win of the season over .Nebraska University as they played in Lincoln.

"It has been a really great year," said Colleen Chapman, one of five seniors on the .team, who will look ahead for the first playoff berth by a PSC

The Lady Bobcats guaranteed themselves a playoff spot last Wednesday as they defeated Wan1e State 86-59 in the HPER.

The wh1 uppe<;l the Lady Bobcats' record to 14-2 in state college p1ay. The women's teams don't have a conference like the men'.s Nebraska athletic conference,. so playoffs will be determined by play amongst ' the four state colleges.

The other spot in the women's playoff picture will be determined between Kearney and Wayne State.

Alice Andersen, a 6-0 senior, enjoyed one of her finest games this season with 20 · points, a career high 24 rebounds vs. Wayne State. Colleen Chapman scored 16 points, Linda Shepard 15 points, and Stephanie Ahern added 10. ·

Regular. Season Coming To A

Saturday night the Peru State men's basketball team will close out its regular season as they· play at the University of Missouri at Kansa:> City. Tipoff for Saturday's game in Municipal Auditorium is slated for 7:30 p.m. The game will mark the career end of four Bobcat seniors playing in their last game.

Mike Miller, a 6-0 senior from Hannibal, MO. has been a two year starter since transferring from Hannibal-LaGrange Junior College •two years ago. Miller has taken over the point guard duties and been the team's · playmaker. Miller is averaging 10.8 points per game and is the team's free throw leader at 78.9 per cenl.

Brian Strother, a senior forward, is a native of Broken Arrow, OK. The 6-4 Strother has been the leading scorer throughout the year, andJs currently averaging 12.8 points per game.

Strother also.leads in rebounding at 6.5. Strother is a transfer from Northeast Oklahoma A & · M Junior College in 1981.

Morris Liesemeyer, a 6-5 senior, has had to make a shift from forward to center this season. Liesemeyer, a Syracuse native, is only one of two seniors who has been at Peru for four years. Liesemeyer is second on the squad in scoring at 10.9 points per game and rebounding at 6.1.

· Omaha native Pat Harrison will also close out his career Saturday evening. Harrison, a 6-0 guard, has·-been both a starter and has come off the bench this season. Harrison is averaging 7.6 points per game and'has been a Bobcat for four years. The departing foursome accounted for 65 per cent of the Bobcat's offensive output, and 60 per cent of Peru's rebounding total.

The Bobcat's meeting with the Kangaroos will be the first of the season. Last year, UMKC was the only team to win in the HPER Center, and also win in a game played ill the Kemper Arena in Kansas City.

The Kangaroos are led by Mel Smith, a junior college transfer averaging 21 points per game. UMKC's record stands at near .500.

The Bobcats have a chance to finish at .500 for the season. If the Bobcats, 13-15, win Tuesday against Tarkio. College at home, and win Saturday in Kansas City, they could close the season out 15-15.

The Bobcat's loss Saturday at home to Bellevue 75-63, knocked them out of any playoff hopes. Mortis Liesemeyer led Peru with 14 points as he was the only Bobcat in double figures.

Junior Mike Paulsen scored a. HPER. Center record 37 points for Bellevue, 10-15.

Bobcat Sluggers Deserve Respect

The spring softball and baseball schedules for the 1984 season at Peru State College have been released from the PSC athletic department.

The Lady Bobcat's softball team, which finished at a disappointing 1-11 mark in 1983, will look to improve on that mark as they open at home on Saturday, March 24 against Wayne State College.

The Lady Bobcats will host five home games in addition to the season opener, including Nebraska Wesleyan (April 10), Dana (April 16), Concordia (April 17), Tarkio (April 26), and the Peru State College Invitational tournament April 6-7., Head Coach Maxine Mehus says that Wayne State, the' season opener, ana Kearney State, are probably the top teams to watch for in the District 11 this season, as both participated in the NAIA national tourney last spring.

All home games for the Lady Bobcats will be played at the softball field located north of Oak Bowl, and admission is free.

The Bobcat baseball team will get their season underway March 5 as they travel to Joplin, Mo. to meet Missouri Southern in an afternoon double-header.

Other home contests include:. Benedictine (March 31), Bel-· levue (April 7), Tarkio (April 12), Nebraska Wesleyan (April 21), Doane (April 23), and Concordia (April 27).

The Bobcats have several formidable opponents on the 1984 schedule, including District 11 powers Kearney and Wayne State; the University of Nebraska-Omaha, an NCAA Division II school; and Creighton University, an NCAA Division I school.

The Bobcats qualified for tlie District 11 playoffs last season under first year coach Nick Petrillo: The Bobcats will look to better their 11-14 mark of 1983. Both schedules are subject to change depending on weather conditions this spring.

Rodney Dangerfield is not on the baseball team at Peru State. Bur he might as well be for all the respect they've got on the field in the past. The Bobcats were a big hit last year, the first time in many · years the "diamond men" advanced to post season play. The Bobt;:at baseball program proclaimed its existence in the District II playoffs last year by knocking off top seated Kearney State 8-7 iIJ a thrilling victory.

The legend of Ted Williams, Lou Brock and Tom Seaver will clash with the now famous Bobcat baseball men. Senior co-captains Brian Strothers and Kevin Sykes will be looked at heavily. for their leadership. Other senior players are Scott Schwarting, Tim Hoffman, and Dave Miller. The only junior on the team is Dick Haneline. Sophomores are Todd Anderson, ·Tony Foster, Mark Williams and Jeff Kryzcki. Newcomers to this years squad are: Brad Brown, Todd Brown, Mark Czapla, Pat Dennis, Mike Kosmicki, Vince. Mitchell, Jeff Parker; Lance Parker, Kevin Rolf, and Walt Williams. Head Coach Nick Petrillo is serving his second season at the helm. He took last year's team of 11-14 into the season with extreme confidence. With the goals set by the team of credability and making the playoffs, the Bobcats feel the respect due to them, will be granted.

Head Coach Jim Libol gives the Lady Bobcats a winning pep talk.

Well, the elections.are over

The new Senate members will take over shortly. Congratulations to those who came out on top! I know you \fill all do an excellent job and will keep this co-Hege body surging with enthusiasm towards the positive direction. Best of luck!

Writing my last Senate Forum is kind of sad. It symbolizes an end to long hours, running errands, and listening to "constructive criticism" whenever it arose. Now this is all in the past, even though sometimes it seemed like it would never end. The worthwhile experiences, the positive influences, and th<=J fellings of success, however, outweigh the negative by far.

I feel that there have undoubtedly been many strong

points emerging this year as the student body has become more interested and involved in college life. Some items that Senate has to be proud of include: they were instrumental in helping to make PSC the first campus with a Pizza Hut located on its property; they ran a grueling 102 miles to raise over $400 towards the construction of the exercise trail, while boosting school spirit; they worked closely and in a positive manner with administration and faculty; they staged a successful voter registration drive .to register .students for the national presidential elections in November; they kept close tabs on the f_ood service throughout the year to give students the meals they · deserve; and the list g()es on and on

The credit goes to all Senate members, Mrs. Gibbs, Ron Olsen, our sponsor, and those students who helped out when needed, because it was their hard work and concern for the college that made this a successful year.

Dr. Gallentine an.d Dean Joy certainly have been· a tremendous help and have given us much support and direction. On behalf of the students, I want to let them know how much we really appreciate the fact that they are concerned !. To everyone who has helped make this a successful term, I want to extend my· most greatful THANKS! Without you, things wouldn't have run as smoothly, and we wouldn't have accomplished so much! ·

Lady Bobcats Open Softball ·at Hoine

The season opener for the PSC women's softball team will be Saturday, March 24, against Wayne State College.

The Lady Bobcats will meet the Wildcats in a double-header at Peru's softball diamond, with starting times at 2 and 4 p.m. ·

The Latly Bobcats are under the guidance of fifth year .head coach Maxine Mehus. Mehus has a combined coaching mark of 39 wins and 65 losses in four previous season at PSC.

Mehus will try to rebound the team from a dismal 1-11 record in '"Potentially I think this year's team is one of the best we've put together since I've started coaching here," Mehus says.

The Lady Bobcats will have just five returning letterwinl!ers and only four seniors.

Leading the cast is Colleen Chapman, a tri-captain, a first-team All-District 11 selection last season. As junior, Chapman hit .322 for the year and owned a 1-5 pitching mark. Mehus says that Chapman, a senior from Grand Island, will alternate between catcher and first base, and may see relief duty. as a pitcher.

The infield looks strong with the return of veterans Becky Gauchat and Connie Pulse.

Gauchat, a tri-captain, a senior from Brock, was an

honorable-mention · All-District pick a year ago as she hit .333 in 1983. A graduate of Johnson: Brock, Gauchat looks to be the front runner for the starting spot at secorid base, but will also see time as a catcher. Gauchat can also play shortstop, her regular position last season.

Pulse, a tri-captain, a secondteam All-District selection last spring, sported a --c.385 batting averagelastseason.Mehussays that the sophomore from Lincoln will be hard to beat out at third )Jase this year.

Bev Harris, a· freshman from Table Rock, looks to have earned herself a starting spot at shortstop. "Bev has a great arm, ·and she has a real strong bat," Mehus said, "She cal also play back up at third." .,

Other infield candidates include freshman Leigh Moss · <Burr), first base and possibly third, Kelly Fallon <Valley), first pase, Ann Tierney (Seward), third base, and Dawn Slauter <Kenesaw), second base.

The outfield will have a totally· new look from last season. Mebus will welcome Bellevue transfer Laupe Earnest, a native of Cedar Creek, who lettered. for the Lady Bruins. Earnest looks to be a starter at right field, according to Mehus.

The outfield post will be platooned by freshman Anita Downing (Seward), and Brenda

Rippe (Talmage). Other prospects include sophomore Michelle Workman <Plattsmouth) and Nebraska City freshman. Jonna Simms. One area the Lady Bobc'ats need to improve if they plan to be successful. this seasoh is pitching, as the Lady Bobcats yielded over three times as many runs and walked over twice as many batters.

The top prospect's look to be a , of freshmen, Peggy Allgood and Kim Searcey. Allgood, a native of Auburn, is a capable young .player who has been extremely consistant according to Mehus. Searcey, a freshman from Elk Creek, is also one of the top throwers, and will be a back-up in the infield.

Mehus says that Downjng) Pulse, and Chapman will also comprise the pitching staff. ·

Allgood, according to Mebus, will probably be the starter on the mound against Wayne.

Other members of this year's squad include: Teresa Arms, senior, Stella; Stephanie Banks, freshman, Stella; Jen Deselms, freshman, Peru; Christi Gibson, freshman, Omaha; Amy Goering, freshman, Auburn; Becky Lane, freshman, Omaha; Mary Zastrow, freshman, Cordova.

Assistant coaches for this year are junior Sara Don_ovan, Lincoln, and sophomore Nancy Glasgo\\', Clarks. 1

"Spring" Puts De.nt • 1n

The Peru State baseball team anxiously awaits the s.tart of their season opener, as the Bobcats have battled adverse weather conditions so far this season, cancelling as many as nine games.

The Bobcat spring trip planned for March 5 through 9 was cancelled because of snow-wet conditions in Missouri.

The Bobcats were scheduled to meet Missouri Baptist, Missouri Southern, and Arkansas University.

The Bobcats again waited hoping .to play in Omaha last Saturda'y, March-17 against the University of Nebraska-Qmaha, but again were forced to .ca;:icel out because of the cold and wet weather.

At the time of this writing, the Bobcats were slated to meet the Creighton Bluejays, and NCAA Division I school in .Omaha Wednesday in a double-header

at 1:30 p.m, Details of whether the Bobcats game was still on top was not known. If the Bobcats didn't meet ·Creighton Wednesday, that .means a total of 11 games have been wiped off the schedule.

"It's a little disappointing," said Head. Coach Nick· Petrillo, "our guys were all ready to play' and especially the seniors."

The Bobcats are scheduled next to meet Tarkio College in a double-header Tuesday, March 27. in Tarkio, Mo., beginning at 1:30 p.m. Wednesdsiy, March 28 will mark the home opener for the team as they host Dana College of Blair at the Auburn Legion starting -at 4 p.m.

"We're just praying that the weather iwll improve so we can get things going," Petrillo said.

Heading the list of players is senior Brian Strother, a firstteam All-District 11 selection in

'83. Strother, a native of Broken Arrow, Okla., batted .355 last season, and had· 21 RBl's. Strother, who is a co-captain this season, will split time between first base and catcher, a11d also in the. outfield where he earned All-District honors, Petrillo said.

· Kevin Sykes, the top newcomer to_Jhe team a year ago, returns to his second base position. Sykes was. lead-off _hitter a year ago batting .386, and had an on-base percentage of .523.

Sykes sefthe school record for most stolen bases in a season at 27, and walked a team-high 25 times. He is a transfer from Lewis and Clark Junior College, and a native of Granite City, Ill. He is :also a co-captain this season. -

"I think tha t,if we perform the· basics, we can be a c0ntender for the playoffs again," said Sykes. Other seniors on the team

Four basketball players from Peru Sta.te College were named to All-Conference teams for their play in the 1983-84 basketball season, as released by the NAIA District 11 office.

Linda Shepard, a 5-7 junior, was the only Lady Bobcat who received an honor, as she was a repeat selection to the first team All-District.

Shepard, a graduate of Lincoln Northeast, was the Lady Bobcats' leading scorer on the season averaging 18.1 points per game. Shepard set a total of sJx individual records this season including high scoring average, most points, most field goals, most field goals attempted, and most.assists and steals as· she led the 'Cats to their best season ever. Guard Mike Miller, a 6-0 senior from Hannibal, Mo., was selected to the ·honorable mention All-District list in the man's voting.

Miller finished the season aver.aging 10.7 points per game, and 2.5 rebounds. He was the leading free throw shooter on the team at 79.1 per cent (102-129) and in assists, handing out 87 for 2.9' per game.

Miller also received a second award as he was voted to the 1983-84 All-Nebraska Athletic Conference first team. He was one of seven players chosen on the NAC first tean;i, and

voted as the conference 'Defensive Player of the Year.' Morris Liesemeyer, a 6-5 senior, earned honorable mention in the NA,C. T·he Syracuse native was second on the PSC team in scoring and rebounding, averaging 11.0 and 6.0 respectively. Liesemeyer was only the 12th Bobcat to score over 1000 points in his career, and he is tied for eight all-time in rebounding.

Senior forward Brian Strother also received honorable-mention honors for the 1983-84 season in the Nebraska Athletic Conference. Strother, a transfer from Northeastern <Okla.) A and M Junior College in 1981, lead the Bobcats in scoring at 12.5 points per game and rebounding at 6.6.

The teams were selected by votes of the District coaches in a meeting held Tuesday morning · in Kearney.

Basebal I Season

include David Miller, ·an outfielder from Skiatook, Okla., who batted .338 and started in centerfield; Tim Hoffman,.a pitcher from Lincoln who Petrillo says has improved a lot from '83; and Scott Schwarting, an outfielder from Falls City who served as a backup last spring.

Petrillo says it will be hard to repl,ace first baseman Hutt, who was lost to graduation, but thinks he has a replacement in Jeff Parker. ·

Parker. a Granite City, Ill. product, is maybe the most versa tile player on the team. Parker could start at either first. base or short stop, and will see time at third base.

"Jeff is probably the most versatile athlete on the team," said Petr-illo. "he can play so many positions effectively."

The top newcomer to the team may be catcher Vince Mitchell, one of four players from Gr.anite

City. Ill., on the team. Mitchell, who is a jun for college transfer, will not make the spring !rip because of a broken foot.

The top pticher on the team lo9ks to be sophomore Mark Williams, an honorable-mention All-District performer in '83. Williams was 4-3 last season with a 4.08 ERA. Petrillo says that Williams may be the team's starting shortstop Monday, and will even see duty in the· outfield.

Other members of the 1984 Bobcat baseball team include: pitcher Todd Anderson (sophomore, Alma); third baseman Brad Brown (freshman, Indianola): Pitcher Todd Brown <freshman, Indianola); catcher Mark Czapla (freshman, Genoa l; second baseman Pat Dennis (freshman, Omaha): pitcher Tony Foster (sophomore, Falls City); outfielder Mike Kosmicki (freshman, Omaha): pitcher Jeff Kryzcki <sophomore, Columbus); outfielder Lance Parker (freshman, Granite City, IIU; pitcher Kevin Rolf (sophomore, Fullerton); and infielder Walt Williams (freshman, Lincoln).

Petrillo says that Foster, a member of the '83 squad, and Rolf, have both looked good in spring drills along with Brad Brown and Mark Czapla.

"Our number one goal is to gain credibility, and play quality baseball," Petrillo says. "Our other main goals are to have a winning season and qualify for the playoffs again."

The Bobcats will open Monday against Missouri Southern, a top 20 ranked NAIA team, in a double header at 1 p.m. The Bobcats will travel Tuesday to Bolivar, Mo., to meet Southwest Baptist in a double-header at 1 p.m. The Bobcats will play the Bearcats Wednesday afternoon in a nine inning ballgame.

History· of Sifting Sands SENATE FO.RUM

By Linda Ganzel

The first volume of the Sifting Sands. was published in May, 1936 and through the years and changes, it continues to print original works of Peru State College Students.

On February 18, 1936, an article in the PED invited all students to contribute to the new project of Sigma Tau Delta, the English Fraternity. "The purpose of the publication," according to Dr. G. W. Smith, the sponsor, "Was to foster an interest in creative literature on

"The Sifting Sands in a publication begun in the belief that amid the conveniences provided us by the machine age we yet reserve a special place in our affections for. those things which belong pectiliarly to us because they are the children of our hands and brain. The poems in this volume represent phases of college life and thought at Peru."

The first volumes were illustrated by wood prints, designed and executed by members of the drawing and painting class. The book was set in Goudy type and printed on the press owned by Phi Alpha Chapter of Sigma Tau Delta. The work was done by uate members of the fraternity.

The price of the first book was twenty-five cents a copy. It contained about 31 poems by 14 authorS plus anonymous authors, and was published by-unuany.

Members of the first editorial board were: G. w. Smith, Marion Marsh, Anna Besf Joder, William Plunknett, Virginia E. Johnson, and the Art editor was Norma DiddeTl. The first publication contained only poetry. Tbrough the years it has come to include one act plays, essays, poetry, and short stories, and is published bi-annually.

Sponsors· of the Sifting Sands have included most recently Robert Morre, who was the head of the Liberal Arts Departm.ent, from whom Silas Summers, _ Associate of English · at PSC, took over in the 60's until his retirement in 1972. -Wreathea Hicks is the present

Silas said that when he took over there were no cash prizes for the top entries except for the prize of getting your work printed. The entries in the Sifting Sands-were theri sent to app}y for publication in the National Publication of Sigma .Tau the "Rectangle." Miss Hicks stl:}ted that five members have had. entries published in the "Rectangle" since 1973. The "Rectangle" includes· works from students of numerous large co.lieges and universities across the nation.

Summers said, "Qne recent change under Miss Hicks has been the amount of artwork in the publication which has made it more attractive. The artwork is primarily contributions from the art department." Summers

also said· that the name was changed through oversight from "Sifting Sand," to "Sifting Sands."

The contents of the Sifting Sands are chosen from the entries to the Silas .Summers' Writing Contest. The contest was begun in1973, and is named after Silas Summers, who was the Associate Professor -of English at PSC for about 10 years before his retirement. He presently lives in Peru. Miss Hicks said, "The English students were appreciative of his work he did with them. The students wanted to call the contest after hfm and I thought that was a great idea."

Prior to 1976, all judging was done on campus. In 1976 the first off-campus judge was Greg Klmzma, the poet In Residence at UNL, who judged the poetry.

1'fle Phil AJPha Chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, National Professional English Fraternity, which sponsored Sifting Sands, was founded at PSC by Professor E. C. Beck, May 241 1926, with 13 charter mem_bers.

Last years members of Sigma Tau Delta included DO'nna Lockard, Marsha Kenfopp, Karen ·Gerking, Rick Ossian, Linda Meyer and Carey Culler.

Added to the members this year are Caroline McLaughlin, Sally DuBois, Kim Alexander and Ray Smith. Their sponsor is Miss Wreathea Hicks.

This years Sifting Sands will be· available after- the tenth of April, anq. Marsha Kentopp is the editor.·

Fiscal Affairs Dominate Meeting

Budget, salary and 1984-85 tuition and· fees took a major share of time and consideration at the March meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Nebraska State Colleges held· March 23 in Lincoln.

A three per cent hike in salaries for full-time state college employees was approved by the Board, retroactive to March 1, according to Dr. Jerry Gallentine, president of Peru State.

A hike in resident and non-resident--tuition fees was approved by the Board. Tuition at the four Nebraska state colleges-Peru, Chadron, Kearney and Wayne-will rise 10 per cent for Nebraska residents to. $27.50 per credit hour, up from $25.

Non-resident tuition increased from $42 to $46 per credit hour. Other fee charges were acted upon on a campus-by-campus basis, Dr. GaUentine. noted.

Trustees took acti<m on room. and board costs as well. A four per cent food service cost incr..ease for the basic 15 meal plan was approved at PSC, compared· to 7.1 per cent 11t Chadron, 4.3 per cent at Wayne · and per cent at Kearney State.

Room charges were upped at all four state colleges as well. Peru State's approximately two per cent jump was the lowest in the system; the average room rate at other state colleges rose by as much as 9.5 per cent.

·, "The relatively small increase in Peru State College's housing fee was due to the fact that our dorm occupancy has risen so dramatically," Dr. Gallentine said. "Trustees took that factor into consideration."

The Board listened to reports on the Nebraska Legislature's Appropriations Committee recommendations for the coming fiscal year. The legislation is considering a four per cent increase in operational (nonpersonnel) budgets.

A five per cent salary boost in July is also under consideration· by the Unicameral. Added.to the already-approved three per cent increase, average salaries for employees of the Nebraska State Colleges would be up by approximately 8.15 per cent.

·. Funding for.several programs sgr projects within the state college system · is being considered by the Appropriations Committee, Dr. Gallentine said.

At Peru State, these range from $1,74.0-for librarJ books and periodicals to $7,819 for faculty salary improyements; $11.,569 for new instructional equipment; $30,000 for instructional computer equipment and services; and $51,194 to fully implement the state college's revised pay plan to bring secretarial, clerical, maintenance and custodial salaries to state pay levels.

Stan Mccaslin, Peru State's director of data processing and

instructor of computer science, was granted a nine-month sabbatical leave. Sharon Mccaslin was granted a nine month leave of absence as well.

Paul Kruse, director of Peru State's instructional media center; reported on Peru State's participation in the Governor's Trade Show, held March 20-22 in Lin.coin. PSC demonstrated instructional a·nd communication technical equipment and capabilities.

Trustees heard reports on legislation pending in the Unicameral that would effect the state college system. Also on the agenda was a review of Fall 1963 enrollment reports by Nebraska county for each state college.

Each college's plan for summer school was reviewed and approved. Also given the okay were each school's nominees for. Distinguished Service Awards, to be announced and awarded at a ·later date.

Dr. Gall!'!ntine reported on a number of college activities on the PSC campus. He mentioned the recent dance marathon to benefit Easter Seals; the Peru State band and choir tour; the high school business contest; the District high school basket- ball tourneys; the regional meeting of Alpha Chi. national honor spciety at PSC; the accomplishments of the varsity. women's basketball team; and an update of PSC's telecourses on the Nebraska Educational Television Network.

Coach Petrillo, native of Granite City, 11.f,. is in his second year as baseball coach at Peru State College. The Bobcats gave Petrillo a good second season debut as t.hey swept a double-header against the Ravens from Benedictine (Kan.) College 2-1 and 14-12 Saturday at the Auburn Legion Field. The Bobcats are 2-0 on the season.

'Cats Sweep Opener·

The biggest opponent for the Peru State baseball team hasn't been the opposition but the weather, which has again forced the postponement of the Bobcats schedule. But the Bobcats did manage to open the 1984 season Saturday by sweeping Benedictine College of Atchison, Kans.

The Bobcats were slated to meet Creighton University Tuesday in a doubleheader beginning at 1 :30 p.m. in Ornaha, but wet weather will halt action again. Head Coach Nick· Petrillo says that there is slim chance that the games can be rescheduled because the Bobcats already have a full slate throughout the remainder of the year.

The Bobcats, 2-0, s.wept Benedictine 2-1 and 14-12 in a twin-bill played at the Auburn Legion field Saturday afternoon.

"I don't think we were psychologically or physically ready to play Saturday," Petrillo said. "It's hard to keep that ready when you haven't played all year."

Peru State 2, Benedictine 1

Junior Vince Mitchell (Granite City, Ill. l scored the winning run in the fourth inning off a single from freshman Lance Parker as the Bobcats took the first game of the double-header.

l\.1itchell got to first on a single, stole second, and reached third on a wild pitch. He later scored to break a 1-1 tie.

Senior Kevin Sykes (Granite City, Ill.) scored the first run of the game to give Peru a 1-0 lead as he singled, stole second and later scored on Jeff Parker's

<Sr. Granite City, Ill.) RBI single.

Freshman Todd Brown <Indianola) picked up the victory, pitching 1 and two-third innings, and sophomore Mark Williams (Hastings) earned the save.

Peru State 14, Benedictine 12

Senior Kevin Sykes scored the winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning, breaking a 12-12 tie, as the Bobcats swept the double-header from Benedictine. Sykes went one-for-two at the plate, stole three bases, drew two walks, and scored four times.

Sophomore Mark Williams was two-for-two including three RBI's and scored three runs. Williams, 1-0, also earned the pitching win in the second game to go with a save in game one. Raven pitchers walked the Bobcats 14 times in the game, while Peru pitchers yielded 15 walks.

The Bobcats enjoyed a big lead early, leading 11-6 after three innings. Benedictine tied the game in the top of the sixth inning, scoring three runs on four consecutive walks.

The win upped the Bobcats record to 2-0 on the season while the Ravens fell to 4-13-1.

Next action for Peru will be Friday, April 6, ( weather permitting) as they play at Nebraska Wesleyan University in Lincoln in a double-header beginning at 2 p.m. The Bobcats will also be in action this weekend, as they host Bellevue College Saturday at the Auburn Legion Field beginning at 1 p.m.

Senior Jeff Parker from Granite City, Ill. gets ready to bat at last Saturday's game against the Benedictine Ravens in Auburn. The Bobcats are now 2-0.

Senate Forum

By Loren C. Schrier

Well, this is the last Forum for this school year. The Student Senate is now making plans for e Fall Semester, and I am very onfident about some of the projects we have planned. One thing to look forward to is the Campus Activities Night which we plan to hold early in the Fall Semester. We hope that all of the campus organizations will be represented in this. We will have more details on it later, The Senate hosted a coffee for the Faculty on the 26th. It was very well attended, and gave us an opportunity to show ·our appreciation for our instructors.

The Senate is now in the process of moving into our new

office in the Student Center, and it will be open this Fall for students to come in and find out more about the activities we plan. It will also be a great. opportunity for you to come in and give us your ideas and explain your problems you face here at Peru State. Well, that is about it for this year. I personally look f.orward to late August when once again the Senate will be back in action working for the students. But I also will be coming back just to realize once again that some of my best friends ·and co-workers are not returning due to graduation. To those people, I wish you the best. To those that are returning, I look forward to seeing you again in the Fall.

A Dedication

to the class of 1984

By Sally DuBois

You· passed through Peru's doors four years ago (some maybe five or even seven years ago). Unaware of what to expect. Unaware of who you would meet. You became friends with people from Auburn to Tampa, Florida. You've worked so hard for a certificate of paper that says, "B.S.", (Bachelor of Science, of course). But all along there was one thought in your mind, to graduate. To achieve that, you took a chance. In everything you did. This can be both positive and negative. In order to learn, we need to expose ourselves to unknown SUQjects and situations.

For some people with fragile self images such probing may be too threatening, so they avoid anything new and as a result · miss many growth opportunities. Your opportunities are just beginning.

Be careful saying "no" to new opportunities. New books, new flavors of ice cream, new friends, new styles of clothing, new forms of worship, new games, new ideas, new roads,any of these may offer you enriching, undreamed-of rewards. Keep alive the spirit of adventure, no matter what you do. Take a chance..,,.-a chance was taken coming to Peru and now you are a graduate of Peru State College.

Frrst Women's Sorority on Fraternity Receives Charter

By Marsha Kentopp

Pi Sigma Chi, the first sorority for women on Peru's campus, has recently been organized. The sorority is local and was established as an original organization. The name Pi · Sigma Chi was also chosen because its initials represent PSC.

Founders' Day for the group was April 4, 1984. The colors for Pi Sigma Chi are Burgundy and Pink, and the flower is the pink rose.

Lori Walton, president of the sorority, said the group has several purposes: ( 1) To promote the Pi Sigma Chi

organization on campus and in the community, (2) To benefit the Easter Seals Society and to aid the community and college campus, (3) To provide an organization for women on the PSC campus, and (4) To provide sisterly aid. to the other members in the following areas-scholastic, social, emotional, and physical. ·

The first of 'the weekly Pi Sigma Chi meetings was held April 10, 1984. The following people were elected to offices for the 1984-85 school year: Lori Walton, president; Terri Johannes, vice-president; Rhonda secretary; Penny Coonce, treasurer; Darcy Born,

historian, and Joann Pohl, activities director.

According to Lori Walton, the sorority is checking into a ho.use for upperclassmen to live in next year. She said the - group eventually plans to have. house parents and two full-time college ethployee sponsors.

Phi Sigma Chi plans to hold Rush next fall during the second week of school. Rush parties will continue for 4-6 weeks. Potential members will fill out applications and will then be chosen by the execqtive board of Pi Sigma Chi. All Peru State women will be welcome, but they must have a 5.00 GP A if they previously attended PSC.

Appleton Gives Speech

Alexander Appleton, a senior, addressing a group of students at Delzell Hall on April 3, said "Because we live in an interdependent society, it is very unwise for anyone to say: it is not my business, it is not his-her business or it is not your business." He therefore called on the residents of Delzell to take that extra step to be more responsible, to be more consi· derate of others and to be more studious.

"PSC has been passed on to us by the earlier generations and it is our moral duty and responsibility to preserve it and pass it on to our future generations, including our children," Appleton said. He said the State of Nebraska, he believes, cannot afford to pay for our acts of vandalism and will justifiably pass on increased cost of running PSC to us. He asked the students to be guided by the Golden Rule in their relationship towards other.

"When you are happily listening to your radio, TV or · stereo, remember to turn it down since your neighbors next room might be seriously preparing for a test the next day," Appleton said. He asked them to prepare themselves well to meet the competition outside the walls of PSC by being mon studious.

In conclusion he said, "When I was a child, I spoke like a child. acted like a child and did all the childish things_, but when r became an adult, I put away all the childish things. Folks, we are no more children. Let's therefore take that extra step to be more responsible, more considerate of others and more studious. A word to the wise is enough." The address was arranged by dorm director Brad Osthus and resident assistant Terry Matzen.

Completes 25th. Year

In the May 18, 1959 issue of the Pedagogian two appointments were made to the Nebraska State Teachers College at Peru. They were- announced by President Neal S. Gomon. One of the appointments to the instructional staff was Lyle McKercher.

Twenty-five years have passed sine that appointment arid much h, , changed at the Nebraska S..ctte Tep.chers College at Peru. Lyle McKercher has been a witness to those changes. He has watched the Nebraska State Teachers College transform into Peru St.ate College. He has watched the Blue Devils (men's pep organization) and the White Angels (girls' pep club), the popular organizations in 1959, become part of history. He was the new man on the block

I in September of 1959 and now only one staff member has seniority over him, Dr. Lester Russell. McKercher said it was a mature staff when he came to Peru; Clayburn, Matthews, Benford, and Jindra were all on the staff then. In 1967, McKereher witnessed the construction of the Centennial Complex; all the buildings were named after staff that were present when he began at Peru. All now a part of Peru State history. •·

Lyle McKercher began his teaching after receiving his B.S. from Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa, in 1950. He began as ·a teacher-principal at Sioux Rapids, Ia., Consolidated School from 1950-59. He taught five math classes, was the prin, cipal, guidance counselor, and

bus driver for the boys basketball team. In 1958 he received his M.S. from Iowa University, Iowa City. That led him to Peru. "I like the atmosphere of Peru," McKercher said. "It's a teaching institution, not a place for a factory-type The individualized attention I can give students and the close relationships with faculty and students are two main resons why I stay at Peru," McKercher· stated. His individua'lized instruction and genuine concern is recognized by his students. Sara Beth 9ono.van, junior, from Lincoln, is a math-computer science major who said "Mr. McKercher is a very dedicated teach.er, who shows sincere interest not only academically, but also with the well-being of the students outside the classroom." Mc Kercher is the sponsor of Alpha Mu Omega, Honorary Math Fraternity.

Mr. McKercher recognizes many changes that have taken place in the past 25 years. "Students are more involved now, than 25 years ago," said Mc Kercher. "But, they also have a little less self-discipline."

There have been many physical changes in Peru since 1959.

Construction of the Student Union began at this time along with the boys dormitory (Majors Hall), the west and south wings of Morgan Hall, and the indus-

trial arts building. McKercher was one of the first faculty to live in faculty housing.

Mc Kercher, a veteran of World War II, has a wife, Norma, who is a teacher at Peru Elementa.ry school. He has three sons, Scott, Robin, and Mark, two of whom graduated from Peru (with math majors). Mr. McKercher spends his summer hours gardening and rebuilding antiques. But most of his time is spent on a challenging and time consuming hobby, stained glass designing. "I started out with a continuing education course in

stained glass and went from there,'' McKercher said. He does glass windows, doors, and small decorations. He had a display in the Fine Arts Building last year. "It's a hobby," he said, "but when and if I do leave Peru, I will probably pursue it as a career," McKercher said. Lyle McKercher has seen many things come and go from Peru in the past 25 years. but one thing that will net change is the teaching expertise and kind words that Lyle McKercher has to offer to both students and faculty.
