Pappas Receives Scientific Grant

A $75,492 National Science Foundation grant to conduct a study on three species of disease-carrying flies has been awarded to Dr. Carol Pappas of Peru State College.

The grant will fund the purchase of a computerized image analysis system and will pay the salaries of Dr. Pappas and two student assistants to conduct the research during the summers of 1989 and 1990.

They will conduct research on flies, most commonly found in the forests of the eastern and southern U.S., which transmit blue tongue and epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) to cattle and deer. The three species are found in the midwest and western states in

forested areas along rivers. The study will focus on the adaptability of the flies to different climates and geographies, and will challenge some long-standing theories about those adaptabilities, Dr. Pappas said.

This spring, she and two student assistants will travel through the southern U.S. as far as Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee collecting more samples. In May, they will travel to the east coast and into New England, plus the upper and central midwest, collecting still more flies.

A preliminary report must be submitted to the National Science Foundation in a year, and the final

report will be issued after August of 1990. Dr. Pappas indicated that both she and the students will present reports and publish scholarly articles to academic and entomological grnups as their project develops.

Dr. Pappas has been a full-time faculty at Peru State since 1985, serving as assistant professor of Natural Sciences.

C's Best Year in College

Dear PSC Students:

Speaking on beha' of Peru State College, we are off to ltcntia!ly one of the best years m the history of Nebraska's first college. The reason is that we have one of the best groups of students that l have ever had the pieasure of being around, and I have worked at the coilege level for nearly 25 years.

There have been problems; anytime you bring hundreds of people of diverse backgrounds and abilities together, there are bound to be. There will be more before the school year is over.

Dean Jerry Joy

Some of the obstacles are unavoidable, but all should be correctable. And we in the student-services area are the ones to turn to when you need assistance. That is why we are here--to serve you. I do not say that because it is what I am supposed to say; I say it because I mean it.

In my opinion, we have an outstanding student-services staff. But they cannot track you down; they cannot aticipate problems you might be having. It is up to you to make use of their talents and the services they make available. They can help make your experiences at Peru State College reach its full potential, but you must first assume responsiblilty for tapping that potential.

Following is a list of PSC personnel who can and will help you. You might wish tG clip this list and keep it somewhere handy.

Finally, thanks for choosing to further your education here at Peru State!

Juniors are also encouraged to

participate in order to meet the people who will be doing the on-campus interviews. According to Linda Warren, Placement Director, it is very beneficial to attend as a junior and learn how to meet the people and decide who to see next year as a senior. She reported that of the students attending last year, two received job offers.

More information on the companies is available in the Placement Office.

Included in the list of employers to be present are Caterpillar, FBI, FDIC, the Federal Reserve, First National Bank of Omaha, Pitney Bowes, Johnson Wax, Target, Black & Decker, all of the armed services, U.S. West, Union Pacific, UPS, Valmont, Vista Chemical, Wal-Mart, and Younkers.

Old Films Are 'Classy' Entertainment

by Chris Angel "Classics."

The connotations of this word tend to bring about thoughts of boredom, but the Classic Film Series is exactly the opposite.

"Don't let the word 'classic' fool you," said Mrs. Tish Sparr, director of student programs. "These movies are interesting and entertaining. Every student should give it a chance by seeing one or two of these classics."

The idea of the Classic Film Series was brought about by both the Student Programming Board and the student body itself. After limited success of popular box office movies last year, some students suggested bringing some of the classics to campus.

The next step of the process was a list of classic movies devised by Mr. Dave Phalen and Dr. Larry Caldwell. This list was then given to the Programming Board and movies were chosen for the school year.

Besides providing entertainment, there are other goals for this program. "My hope is to generate interest in the classics and the cultural arts in general," ·· said Sparr.

eume Book Sells PSC Grads

All seniors who are expecting to graduate in 1988 are invited to be included in the Placement Office's ':::enior Resume Book. The professionc bound book, printed by the PSC print shop, is sent to 400 employers.

The book is an additional selling tool for graduates. Last year several job were accepted because of the book. Employers see someone or a program they are interested in and call student or the Placement Office. Calls are still coming in this fall on last year's book, according to Linda Warren, Placement Director.

Resume forms have been mailed to all students who have 85 hours or more after the last spring semester. Anyone who was not on that mailing list and wants to be in the resume book should get the form from the Placement Office.

The deadline for turning in the forms to the Placement Office is Sept. 30. Mrs. Warren said that it is important that all of eligible students participate so that our book is complete and reflects the number of people involved in our programs. She said if too few participate, the book will not be printed: "We want to present the public

as the first rate school that we are, with well-developed programs full of bright, energetic students."

All of the resumes in the Resume Book are typed il'lto identical formats. Students will still need to prepare their own individual unique resume for their job search. The Placement Office has information available and will take individual appointments for assistance on preparing resumes.

Library Displays Banned Books

by Merri Johnson

Apparently football isn't the only activity in Nebraska capable of rating national attention. According to People {or the American Way, a national organization, Nebraska ranked first among all states for attempting book bannings in 1986-87.

Who are the people making the attacks and what · kinds of books are they attacking? Dr. Sharon Mccaslin, PSC technical service librarian, said most attacks are made by parents of elementary and secondary school students. The parents are typically concerned about books exposing their children to sex, birth control, strong language, and racism.

Author Judy Blume whose books address crucial adolescent issues, was the most frequently attacked author.

During Banned Books Week, September 24 to October I, library visitors mav examine a display of 25 books found in the PSC library that have been attacked in the past year. Among them is Black Boy by Richard Wright, which was attacked in the Lincoln school libraries.

Banned Books Week is sponsored by the American and Nebraska Library Associations Intellectual Freedom Committees to focus attention on this censorship movement.

Ranch Bowl was the site of the Omaha area's first college night which was helc on Monday, Sept. 12, from 8 to 12 p.m., with entertainment provided by a DJ College night will provide an opportunity for students of various campuses tc meet on a social basis.

Library Card Catalog Becomes Extinct

by Merri Johnson

PSC's automated library card catalog system is due to be on-line in the main library Oct. l. According to Jim Mulder, PSC public services librarian, if using the old card catalog to locate a reference book left you frustrated and confused, the new system will make it a lot easier.

Mulder stated that students will be able to use the "key word" search on the computer to locate any book in the library. A key word can be any word in the title, or topic or author's name.

Computer terminals will be located on each floor of the library.

Students began familiarizing themselves with the new system on Sept. 12 when it became partially operational. Additional features will be added throughout the year. By next fall, the

media center will be added to the system and the old manual card catalog will be destroyed. That act will mark the culmination of the five-year project, said Dr. Sharon Mccaslin, technical services librarian.

She said the $79,000 project was partially funded by a $25,000 grant from the Nebraska Library Commission. The balance was budgeted from the college general fund. Mccaslin added, "PSC is the first statesupported academic institution in Nebraska to automate its library," making PSC a frontrunner in this wave of the future.

Another major feature of the system is telephone access by anyone who has a phone modem. Mulder stated that offcampus students, other schools businesses and private individuals wil be able to purchase the necessary

McCrann, a graduate of Villanova and the University of Oregon, cited PSC's friendly atmosphere and the favorable impression left by the administration as the primary factors influencing his decision to come here from Illinois State University.

A native of New York City, he once held a position in advertising at the New York Daily News. He has taught at various community colleges, including two in Nagoya, Japan, where he taught for five years.

"In Japan, most college students don't study," McCrann saiq. "They take J02 courses and attend class once a week. P:-ofessors teach six90-minute classes."

During junior and senior high school, J"- panese students attend special "cram" scl-:Gols. The intensive study and prepares the students for a college entrance exam. Once

Nathan Bradley. sophomore starting quarterback, describes himself as "A quiet storm", but in the eyes of others when competing, Bradley could be more accurately described as a "Tyrant Tornado".

last Saturday night at Missouri Valley, Bradley demonstrated a little of his magic including a 65-yard touchdown run and several "Dan Marino" style passes!

When asked what brought him to Peru the 6-2, 200 pound demon transfer from Rutgers University replied, "The will to play quarterback. Rutgers insisted I move to outside linebacker, a position I wasn't comfortable playing."

Bradley also stated that he was looking for a smaller school where he would also be able to focus on his other chief priority, education.

Bradley currently holds a 3.0 GPA and is majoring in Business Management.

When asked to comment en his performance Bradley simply replied, "I wasn't satisfied." He admits his physical game is fast improving; however, his mental game still needs attention.

He said this problem could be taken care of by his communicating with the coaches.

Bradley still shouldered the loss however by saying, "I gave leadership but not the positive leadership needed on Saturday."

Despite a brave effort the Bobcats could not avoid a 2 I - 7 loss in their season opener.

Cats' Lose Season Opener to Tigers

by Fred Miner

At Missouri Valley on Sept. 3, the Bobcats hung tough 7-7 until the fourth quarter when the Tigers shook loose for a couple of touchdowns and won 21- 7. In spite of the breaks, head coach Tom Shea remained optimistic.

Perhaps the worst break was the loss of Rod Olson, junior quarterback from Coon Rapids, MN, a knee injury. The extent of the injury is unknown at press time, although the coaching staff think Olson may be out for the rest of ·the season.

Coach Shea said he believes he has a great bunch of young men playing for him, and that they have a stick-with-it attitude.

Shea also said he would like his team to be more consistent. However, he is glad the team has its first game under their belts and is free of the openinggame jitters. And he said the team is ready to compete.

With eight returning starters on defense and five on offense, the Bobcats have the muscles for a winning team. Despite the ioss some of the bright

moments of play, according to Shea, were by Terry Clark, conerback from Auburn; Scott Sullivan, defensive back from Firth; Rick Ripperger, defensive end from Milo, IA; Steve Rasmussen, linebacker from Sidney, IA; Scott Gerdes, running back from Auburn; Brett Dwardy, wingback from lakeworth, FL; and Dave Addison, offensive guard from Kansas City, MO.

Coach Nelson Confident About Her Team

by Fred Miner g

i§ As the season begins, Mrs. Jennifer Nelson, head volleyball coach, says she has confidence in her team.

She said the teams strengths are height, good blocking skills and a good offense.

She's very pleased at the team's progress and feels the nationals are a realistic goal. However, she said, the team needs to work and build on what they've started.

The only weakness she sees in the team is a lack of speed on defense. She said she has ten players that can play. Some of the more outstanding players are Kristi Olberding, Michelle Levin, Dede Vogel and Pam Davis.

Nelson said the junior varsity is a younger team that plays well together.

Some of the young players that have stood out according to Nelson are Karen Hauder, Margo LaBrie, Lori Alexander, Holly Neitzke, and Traci

Voting is the First Step to Real Changet

by Paul Saenz

The people of this country have an amazing amount of tolerance and faith. This faith has been displayed very prominently in the 1980's. We blindly believe our political and religious leaders, even when it is obivous that they have betrayed our trust. We fool ourselves into believing in the effectiveness of an anti-drug program which consists of the phrase "Just Say No," while the only people joining this program are those who would never

have done drugs in the first place. We fervently believe in the existence of a God who once deemed it necessary to show Himself to His people, but who, in the last 1,988 years of our Lord, has not made an appearance, except for reports of sightings from that same gene pool who have witnessed undead Elvis's and lizard men.

Despite all of the above, the biggest show of faith by Americans takes place on Election Day. We have so much respect for the knowledge and

Grad is proud of PSC Education

Dear Editor,

I am a graduate of Peru State College, (May, 1984.) I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in the subjects of Drama and Speech. Presently, I am entering my final year of graduate study at the University of Nebraska in Omaha where I am working toward a Master of Arts degree in the field of Dramatic Arts. Upon completion of this degree I wish to work professionally in theatre while continuing my education toward a Doctor of Philosophy degree, possibly in the area of Production/ Management for the contemporary theatre, or in acting.

It is with a great deal of pride and a feeling of indebtedness that I write to you at this time, pride in a college that seeks out fine instructors, and indebtedness to those instructors from ........which I obtained a priceless education.

Dr.· Royal Eckert and Dr. Charles Harper have a policy in the theatre department at Peru 'Learn by doing!'

Let me give you a personal example ot this theory in practice. While designing and building the set for a production of Two By Two, I asked Dr. Eckert what colors I should use to paint a mountain for the last scene. He very simply and without hesitation said, "yes." In other words, I had read the books, I had watched him paint. a

master at scene painting, and listened to lectures on color and mood. What I had to do was put all that knowledge onto the canvas. It took me several hours but 1 accomplished the task and to my surprise and delight, it worked. The set even got a great review in the February 18, 1983 issue· of the Nebraska City News Press. "Characterizations, Set, Highlight Peru Play," was how the title read. It is this kind of professional dedication that put me further ahead than most when I faced the challenge of graduate school.

It is my desire to encourage Dr. Eckert and Dr. Harper as they face further budget reductions the likes of which I felt while a student at Peru, and am currently feeling at the university level. I want to let them know that what they did for me could never be repaid adequately except to continue doing my very best, hoping my successes will reflect their great influence and care.

I thank you for taking the time to hear from me. Dr. Eckert and Dr. Harper, as well as many other faculty members at Peru State College are, in my opinion, among the most distinguished educators in the Midwest. We are fortunate to have them in Nebraska and at Peru State College.

Sincerely, Karen Coover-Frazee

Discovered the "Precious Present?''

by Jodi Peterson PSC nurse

We all have our bad days - dyas when .that black cloud of gloom seems to get some obnoxious pleasure in hovering above you. Of course, those are also the days when everyone else seems so carefree, happy and full of cheer. As miserable as those down days may be, they do pass; and the next day the black cloud of gloom finds a new victim.

An occasional day of the blues and indulgence in self-pity are normal, are o be expected, and suprisingly enoughare healthy. However, if you find these days are becoming more frequent, or they are the rule instead of the exception - it is time for some self-exploration.

Are you happy with who you are? Do you really know who you are? Do you find contentment in being with the significant persons in your life? Are you satisfied with your interpersonal

relationships? Are you unhappy in your environment and often wish you were somewhere else? The individual that finds himself answering yes to these questions needs to realize the implications this mind-set has on the subconscious. In essence, by responding positively to these questions, the subconscious is receiving a very negati\·e message of "self" : you are no one, you have no one, and you are nowhere! No wonder gloom and doom set in with an attitude like that!

A sense of inner happiness can belong to anyone who receives the gift of the precious present. Everyone of us have the potential of receiving this gift, even you-the king of gloom and doom. I have had the pleasure of receiving this most cherished gift and I am frequently struggling to keep a hold on it. When I realize I've lost it, I begin an intense search.

My search for the precious present begins with a story that I would like to share with all of you. The story was written by Spencer Johnson, MD. The name of the story is The Precious Present, of course.

I hope you will follow this moving story and possibly you too will receive this special gift and ultimately find yourself..

Once there was a boy who listened to an old man. And, thus, began to learn about The Precious Present.

"It is a present because it is a gift," the contented man explained. "And it is precious because anyone who receives such a present is happy forever."

"Wow!" the little boy exclaimed. "I hope someone gives me The Precious Present. Maybe I'll get it for Christmas."

Yearbook Week to be Oct. 3 ... 7

Honoring the one memento which most thoroughly captures memories and preserves history for millions of school students throughout the USA, the second annual National Yearbook Week will be celebrated October 3-7.

A joint effort of the Yearbook Printers Association's six company members, the week's chief emphasis is to promote the recognition by the general public of the cultural and historical significance of the school yearbook.

Inititated in 1987 after a resolution by both houses of Congress, National Yearbook Week is set aside to help how student involvement in production helps develop journalistic, photographic and business skills.

The original. resolution cited a recent study by the American College Testing Program showing that college freshman with previous yearbook experience have higher ACT composite scores, perform better on standardized college writing tests, and achieve higher grade point averages during their first year of college than freshman with no yearbook experience.

Uniquely American in its origin, the school yearbook continues to be a valuable means of recording school life.

-Assasination Game All Week-

Horneconting

by Chris Angel

Decorating, electing a king and queen, the football game, and the dance. What do all of these elements have in common when they are put together? They are the making of homecoming at PSC.

Emphasis and importance are put on the football game to make homecoming a complete success. As Michelle Curtis, sophomore, said, "I always think of it as a football game that we have to win. If we don't win, then homecoming just wouldn't seem that important."

However, there are other elements that surround the game. Students have many opportunities to participate in a variety of activities. There are many contests during spirit week such as tug sports trivia, and wheelbarrow

races. Another way to get involved is i through decorating for the festivities._

"As an R.A., I will be involved in hall decorating and decorating a float. I hope that everyone participates in some way," said senior, Lynette Matthews.

There are many purposes to homecoming, but one of the most important is that it gets people together. "I feel that people take homecoming more seriously than in high school," said Curtis.

"It's a great way to see friends and be together," said freshman Stan Moyer.

Homecoming is seen as more than all of the festivities that go into it. It means the opportunity to 'participate with friends in a memorable event.

New Tennis

by Amy Snyder

A positive response from PSC administrators could benefit tennis buffs.

With the help of Student Senate leaders, Dean Jerry Joy is looking into the need of a new tennis facility on campus. Christie Trussel, president of Student Senate, said that reports of concern among students, faculty and citizens of Peru regarding the appearance and condition of the old courts have made the issue one worth considering.

While the process of thorough .:nvestigation is just starting, a few main topics have surfaced. These topics include funding and location.

Either the renovation of the old courts located south of the Oak Bowl, or the building of new courts would be costly. Trussel noted that this year's budget is already accounted for and that for such a project, it could be a couple of years .:fore money from the school could be aiiotted. She cited other possibilities as campus-wide fund raisers, outside .fonations and a possible grant from the United States Tennis Association.

Trussel went on to say that a couple of locations are being considered. If moved out of the Oak Bowl, the goal is to keep the courts on campus. This would allow easy access to the greatest number of students and faculty.

The issue has been taken to President Jerry Gallentine and has been met with positive response.

Trussel felt it important to credit the administration for their attitude and support. They are approaching the matter in a way which, if it can be done, it will be done right.

Support, opinions and ideas of the student body are appreciated and can be expressed to either Dean Joy or Christie Trussel.

ports Broadcasting is fun for Gottula

by Michelle Kimball

"Good afternoon everyone from the akBowl!" For 12 years, radio listeners southeast Nebraska have been aring this greeting, as Randy Gottula, voice of the Bobcats," begins ther live broadcast.

ottula began broadcasting Bobcat otball in the fall of 1977 on station TNC in Falls City. Gottula mmented, "Those first years were tainly exciting ones as Jerry Joy's en Head Coach) teams were nsistently rated in the top ten in the tion." He added that it was a great e to initiate live broadcasts of Peru tball, because of outstanding talents Alvin Holder, Roosevelt Brown, Marvin McGill, who had Bobcat tball on the rise.

1981, radio station KAUB, Auburn, ed on the air. The following fall, ttula's broadcasts were changed to at dial, FM 105.5. Gottula said that m time to time, the "Bobcat Football etwork" has been simulcast on KNCY, Nebraska City; KTRX, Rockport; KTNC, Falls City; and occasionally visiting teams like Chadron State have their home stations take feed of Gottula's play by play.

When commenting on this, Gottula .stated, "It makes calling the game that much more of a challenge when opposing teams' radio audiences are listening, because obviously you are pulling for Peru State but you make an extra effort to give the opponent a fair 'shake too."

OUT for THE PLAYBOY OF THE WESTERN WORLD

Gottula says that he's been fortunate to have expert commentators helping with the broadcasts. Jerry Joy, now Dean of Student Affairs, assisted Gottula from 1984-87.

This year, former PSC quarterback, Craig Stevens is providing game analysis and commentary. He states, "With help from people like Jerry and Craig, I've learned a lot about the intracacies of PSC football. I try to describe the action so the average fan can see the game through me eyes, but Craig and Jerry gave more technical descriptions after each play."

Reflecting on 12 years, Gottula said

,;,

that one of the enjoyable things has- i:; been the opportunity to gei to know the "' athletes and coaches. "It's fun to see a freshman make his first college pass reception and be able to remember it four years later with him as he graduates after a successful football season!" He added that when he sees a former player after a few years, he's not quick to remember the player's name, but what sticks in his mind is the jersey number that person wore.

Another "reward" for broadcasting football games besides all the friendships for Gottula is the fact that it helped him to meet and get to know is wife, Lori. She attended several football games as her brother, (also my brother) Dave Kimball, played. Lori is now administrative assistant to President Gallentine.

In addition to football, KAUB also has broadcasted selective PSC basketball games since 1981. Gottula says that he doesn't prefer one sport over the other and enjoys both equally. His last comment was that following PSC sports provides a pleasant diversion away from his full time job, which is assistant manager of Hinky Dinky in Auburn. "For me, it's a change to do something different for the weekends. It's more of a recreation than a part-time job. It's so much fun, sometimes I can't believe I'm getting paid to do it!"

Travel Committee on the Move

by Amy Snyder

PSC continues to travel upward as new service becomes available to adventurous students.

A travel committee, under the direction of student programs, has been set up to offer weekend activity in a variety of social, cultural, and educational settings.

Mrs. Tish Sparr, student programs coordinator, said that the idea came from the University of Nebraska and the way in which their programming board is set up.

Through this program, campus trips will be set up and sponsored. Planning and preparation ·is the reponsibility of Kelly Tynon, student travel intern.

Tynon said that the trips will vary in theme and will take place randomly throughout the year. Ideas being considered are a fall break trip, a weekend trip to a UNL or Kansas City Chiefs football game, attending the Omaha Ballet, a spring break trip, and possibly canoeing down the Niobrara River. A goal has been set to keep weekend trip prices between $25.00 and $30.00. The more people participating, the less the cost.

All students of PSC qualify to participate and suggestions are welcome.

Information about trips and sign up can be found in the student programs office as activities come about.

Mono Virus 'at' PSC

E'Sran

(S

by Clinton Palmer Students should be on guard, and 0 readv to combat the painful virus mononueleosis, said Mrs. Jodi Peterson, registered nurse and director of Peru Health Center.

This revelation came after Peterson admitted to falling under a mass bombardment of PSC students suffering from the widespreading virus. When asked to speculate whether the problem would be soon under control, she could only reply "far from it." Peterson also added, "The numbers will accelerate if students don't start taking better care of themselves because when the body is drained, one becomes more vulnerable."

Mononucleosis is a virus that attacks the spleen and if not treated correctly at an early stage could prove fatal. The early warning signs are constant drowziness, bitter sore throat, and swelling of the throat.

Advice given to students not wishing to encounter the virus is to stay clear of suffering persons, keep the body from running down (you are more susceptible if your white count is down), and abstain from sharing beverages out of single vessels.

Anyone who suspects they have contracted the virus is strongly advised to consult a physician immediately.

Good Mud Volleyball Clean

by Paul Saenz

A large group of PSC students engaged in some unclean fun Sept. l 922nd, and they did it in front of crowds. This dirty deed was, of course, mud volleyball, and despite the recent cooler weather, all went well.

A total of J50 students, comprising 13 teams, competed in the four day tournament, which took place at the complex.

To prepare the playing surface, the ground was first disced up by the PSC maintenance crew, then it was watered down. The Peru Fire Department donated a tank of water to help get things started, and hoses were used to keep the field muddy.

As for the tournament itself, Patsy Shea, director of intramural activities, said that the first night was really cold, but had no effect on the games. Besides being pleased with the number of players participating Shea said that there were also good crowds on hand, so there was a lot of activity.

The teams were playing for the competition and fun, and more importantly, mud volleyball t-shirts. The team which garnered these shirts were the DFTM's. Members of the winning team were: Denise Cave, Lisa Feringher, Kevin Mowery, Chris Demarque, Elaine Ferin, Carrie

PSC Requests Increased State Budgeting

is year, everyone is asking for more e aid. The universities, colleges and munity colleges have all been rsely affected by four years of get cuts coupled with increasing

ollments. The state colleges have the highest percentage increase in llment over the past six years, rding to PSC President Jerry llentine.

SC is requesting a substantial centage increase from the state in its year budget proposal. The 1989-90 ral fund request is 23.5 per cent rthan this year, or $847,383 more. t converts to a total ·asking of 453,585 in state funds next year. The 91 total is $4,603,067.

The requested increases of the other three institutions in the state college system for 1989-90 are; Chadron State, 14. 9 per cent; Kearney State, 37. l per cent; Wayne State, 25.6 per cent.

Gallentine explained the need for the large increase. "It's clear from data that

we will read and see that the importance of a college education continues to grow. If we are to provide a quality education, it's critical that we receive significant increases in funding," he said.

Then make a clear choice you the ballot for president. rding to Time (October 3, 1988), op campaign issue is the nation's budget deficit.

Bush argues that 've got to get the Democrats' gress under control" to hold down ing.

concern to the candidates is that of nuclear freeze. In Time (October 3, 1988), Bush says, "Because we didn't listen (the nuclear freeze issue in 1982), the U.S. has achieved the first agreement in reducing neclear arms, which a freeze would have precluded."

Dukakis responds by saying that Bush waffled somewhat on the freeze and insisted it should not be a partisan issue, according to the same issue of Time magazine.

One issue that holds significance to college students is that of education.

According to Time (September 12, 1988), the candidates have ideas but not without contradiction on how to pay for them. Bush would establish a $500 million program to provide awards of $I 00, 000 to individual schools that show a marked reduction in dropout rates or improvements in test scores. An additional $50 million would be given to states for matching grants to create or support magnet schools, which offer special programs not generally available in other schools. However, Time magazine states that his plans run headlong into a contradiction: although he supports efforts to raise standards

teachers, one' science teacher, one speech teacher and an academic advisor.

Other staff additions are planned in the community service area and library. Instructional equipment, library additions and sabbaticals are also major items in the budget. Salary improvement dollars for non-academic professional staff and support staff are included.

One item not included is funding for increased teacher salaries. Gallentine noted that a separate request will be necessary after teachers complete salary negotiations around January l.

The President emphasized that instructors with earned doctorates would be sought to fill the new teaching positions in keeping with the college's goal of providing quality teachers.

For comparison, Gallentine stated that PSC currently has an equal or higher percentage of doctorate faculty as Kearney State College. "The number of doctorate teachers also enhances PS C's masters program," he added.

for teachers and students nationally, he insists the funds to support such effo'°ts come almost exclusively from state and local governments.

Dukakis, on the other hand, would create a $250 million national teaching excellence fund to finance the college tuitions of students who become teachers and revive the national teacher corps to give recent college graduates a taste of the classroom. However, he has not put a price tag on his educational proposals or stated in detail how he would pay for them, according to Time.

There are other less detailed programs that the two candidates would like to implement. In Busines,s Week (October IO, 1988), Dukakis states that he would like to unveil a new college-loan program, support of mandatory health insurance for all workers, and the backing of more federal funds for day care. Bush has fired back with a $1,000a-year tax-deferred savings plan for moderate income Americans and tax credits for education and child care.

Both candidates have a variety of programs to offer and hold views on the issues that have been described. The decision is now left up to each individual voter.

Though crews will be out by December, there will be no rush to have the building ready for classes this spring. The plan is to get faculty moved back in and have everything I 00 per cent before bringing classes into the building.

Dr. Hanson Brings a Broad

By Michelle Kimball

Dr. Jerrold Hanson, Chairman of Education and Dean of Graduate Studies,

brings a broad background of experience to Peru State.

He came to PSC from Western State College in Colorado where he has been the last 21 years. His last position he held there was the Dean of the School of Education. Prior to this, he served in positions such as teacher and counselor in the public schools in Minnesota.

ln talking about size comparison in Western State and PSC, he commented that the two were quite similar: Western State had roughly 2,000 · 2.200 students, so the size adjustment was not a huge one. When asked why he chose Peru. he replied, "I \\as looking for a change. I wanted this kind of position in this type of institution in this general part of the world." Dr. Hanson spent tw·o days on campus in June, but didn't actually sign the contract until he knew his wife approved.

Acccrding to Hanson, there are three Basic goals for this year, one major goal and then two others he's striving to meet. The first deals with the National Council tor the Accreditation of Teacher Education. In one year, there "ill be a visitation team on the PSC ·u11pus to see that it measures up to the

expectations. The education department, under Dr. Hanson, must prepare a description of teacher education at PSC. Dr. Hanson has had experience with NC ATE previously. so he's prepared in that fidd.

He also talked about the Graduate Program, and said he would like to set some policies and see more growth in the program. In general, he commented that he would like the Teacher Education program to be the strongest. This mean that he wants it the largest, just extremely strong. He wants the to be prepared for the classroom.

Hanson stated that he feels things are going good so far. It took him a while to figure out the operation of everything, but he said that he knows that there is a reason why you do the things you do. He finds out what there is to do, and docs it.

Hanson and his wife presently live in faculty housing. They have two children, a son who graduated trom Northern University in Colorado and a daughter who attends a vocation school in Grand Junction, Colorado.

Hanson commented lastly that he is looking forward to moving into T.J. Majors. "That will be a real plus for this campus."

According to Kent Propst, Director of College Advancement, he graduated with a BF A in 1967 and completed his MA in Art Education at Kearney State College. He taught for one year at East Jordan, MI and for seven years at Auburn, NE High School. In 1975, he returned to PSC as a art instructor.

Fell distributes three cartoons a week to 10 Nebraska newspapers. He sends out appeals to prospective papers every six months, emphasizing that his cartoons are about Nebraska. He limits his appeals to papers with a circulation of 5,000.

His popularity with Nebraskans is evident in his combined effort with columnist and folklorist Roger Welsch on two books, You Know You 're a NPhraskan. and You Know You're a Husker t:ell plans to work with Welsch in the future, illustrating another book, Son of You Know You 're a Nebraskan. ..

What should you look for in the two candidates? Look for their\ ision. How does the candidate see the world? Does he see the world as one that will be made better through individual initiatives? Wil: he promote incentives, but leave most economic decisions to the market

On the other hand; golf.and !;owling ha\c developed systems to allow unequal players to compete. Both sports hmc a handicap system that is concerned with the result being equal even if the better player is penalized for being efficient. Herc the emphasis is on equity or fairness. Certainly, the Democrats ;ind Governor Dukakis spend more time on the issue of equity.

Clearly, both candidates have a \ision that includes clements of both efficiency and equity. Your vision includes both elements. Which candidates \ision contains the mix of efficiency and equity that best reflects your thought should determine your vote.

obcats Receive National Attention

By Michele Marschman

."When they step out on the court, they ow they're going to win. They're not ky, they're confident," said Lady beat Volleyball Coach Jennifer !son. The 25-4 Lady Bobcats have on to be are esently ranked sixteenth in the nation their division. This is the first time in Chistory that the Lady Bobcats have eived national recognition.

elson attributes the team's success on number of factors. She feels the yers have a lot of desire and are · · g to go after success. "lt takes guts be a great team," said Nelson. elson added, "This is the closest team had in all the time !'ye been ching." Getting along is of great portance to Nelson, who belieYes

team members must be able to overcome their differences in order to work together as a unit.

The manner in which practices arc conducted also can mean the difference between a good team and a great team. According to Nelson, the practices arc designed to be very competitive and to help the players focus on the tasks at hand.

Does the pressure of being nationally ranked hurt the Lady Bobcats? Kristi Olberding, a starting senior hitter, doesn't think so. "It makes us want to work harder to move up in the rankings. Our goal is to make it to the top ten."

"It's been a goal for us to be nationally ranked for these past three years. l t places good pressure on the team and they're not willing to lose to less-skilkd teams," said Nelson.

Through the aches and moans that emanated from both barns as each member drug their chickenridden body to the truck, I asked myself, "Is this really worth making 180 trips per person each night with three to four chickens in hand each time for $4.50 an hour?" To me, no. But these people stuck it out, whether they liked it or not, for the benefit of the group. And when it was all said and done, there was a cheer, and a small sigh of relief, in a job well done.

I think I'm developing a persecution complex.

It started a couple of weeks ago when I received a notice from the college motor vehicle department. I was being chastised for failure to pay a parking violation ticket.

Wait a minute. What ticket? I never received a ticket.

Oh yes, you did, the notice read. On October 3, l 988 you parked your pickup in a service area: so there.

My pickup? I don't own a pickup. And i always park in the commuter lot. I come 45 minutes early just to get a spot! Besides. I wasn't even on campus on Oct. 3.

my license plates? I didn't think so. I remembered buying them last month, but where were they now?

One by one, the cars ahead of me drove through the check-point unhindered. But I could feel the eyes of the patrolman zeroing in on my license plate. I imagined their glee: If the Peru police can't get you on a parking violation, we'll get you now for sure, ha ha!

The relief. They didn't notice my outdated stickers. I sailed through, only to learn that my class had been cancelled. I had driven from Auburn for nothing.

Worse yet, I would have to go back through the check-point to get out of town. Did I dare press my luck a second time?

There has to be another way out of town, I told myself. Wrong. The streets went nowhere. I drove aimlessly,. pondering my situation.

How much is the fine for expired plates? I mused. Too much.

"Give me the roughest of spring days rather than the loveliest of autumn days for there is death in the air," Thomas Hardy wrote.

Actually, autumn may not be as dreary as we all think. It has its own beauty mark, a oackground of beautiful blue skies, decorated with trees of cinnamon red and flaming yellow. "Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower", stated Camus.

The brisk air of this third season Is said to deserve credit for the alertness and

sense of well-being that creates our autumn mood. Excitement and f;; emotions flood our minds as the "" autumn foliage arrives, and we look forward to spending the cold months ahead inside with loved ones. Newspapers headline it. People talk about it. Visitors come to see it at our state parks, and here we are in the heart of it at the "Campus of a Thousand Oaks"! So, next time the autumn depression sets in, as you say goodbye to green summer and hello to gold fall, remember--life comes again in the Spring!

At times it's hard to remember that it's a game played for fun. Losing by one point is still hard to take. Winning will always be easy.

When the game is over now, no one has

It's hard to let go of the screaming fans and weekly pep rallies, but intramurals can definitely fill a gap. It's nice to have a positi:ve outlet where competition and fair play still count.

udent Survey Supports Banning Smoking

Oct. 13, the Student Senate ucted a campus-wide survey ming the banning of smoking or a tobacco-related product in Peru College's State Buildings. results of the survey are as follows: 499 students, faculty and staff pleted the survey.

Of these 499 people surveyed, 356 .3%) do support the banning of king or using a tobacco-related duct in PSC's Buildings. In return, he 499 people surveyed, 143 (28. 7%) not support the banning. the 356 people who do support the ing of smoking or using of a co-related product in PSC's ings, 310 (87%) do not smoke or

Some general comments are as follows: a) Faculty should be allowed to smoke in their offices, b) I think some type of program should be set up for those who want to quit, c) The smoke can be just as hazardous as smoking, d) The smoking person affects even the non-smoker, e) I am asthmatic and use a related tobacco product while 46 ( 13%) do smoke or use a related tobacco product.

d) Of the 143 people who do not SUJlpOrt the banning of smoking or using tobacco-related products in PSC's State Buildings, 82 (57.3%) do smoke or use a related tobacco product while 61 (42. 7%) do not smoke or use a· related tobacco product.

perts Call Stress a Disease

:00 p.m. you're in the middle of dyingfor a test when a knock comes the door. It's your friends wanting to go out with them. You want to, besides the test, you also have to ea three-page paper. And then you lize that you have a play to read. The ne rings and your boss is on the her end asking you to come in and rk for a couple of hours.

As the middle of the semester hits, our dules are getting more and more ic. It becomes necessary to deal with ess successfully, because it is bound happen sooner or later.

However, what is stress? "Stress in my · ion, causes exertion of my mental physical capabilities," said Laura inegardner, senjor. "It is doing uble duty with all of one's might."

It's a feeffng of anxiety that you en't done something that you should ve, or feeling worried about what to when a new probiem arises," said Patty Gebers, junior.

According to NEA Today (October 1988), stress is anything--pleasant or unpleasant--that places a physical or mental demand upon us. It goes on to say.that a little stress is good for us, but whm it becomes uncontrollable, stress .Is no longer beneficial.

Students seem to agree that some stress is good. "in a stressful situation I make myself think positive and that somehow it will work out."

But what should you do when the stress gets to be too much?

According to Ladies Home Journal (June, 1988), keeping your priorities in perspective may be the most effective stress reliever of all. Make a list of things that need to be done and stick to that schedule. However, make sure that you have some breaks. Constant work can cause stress as well.

Another way to combat stress is to talk out your problems. NEA Today (October 1988) says that we often make mountains out of molehills. Talking can put things in order. it goes on to say that you should write down your problems and then brainstorm at least ten solutions. There should be a usable approach among them.

A third way is to exercise regularly. NEA Today said that since stress is your body's way of preparing for action, it's a logical assertion that exercise is an antidote.

The next time you're up to your neck in studying and you feel like pulling your hair out, keep in mind that it's only stress. Deal with i.t successfully and work it to your advantage

s;

smoking really bothers me, f) We may T not like it, but they still have the right to "' smoke. Maybe set up s smokmg and "' non-smoking sections, g) I would like to see no smoking in classrooms; the hallways would be okay, and h) I think there should be equal opportunities. Smokers should have designated areas to smoke, not just in this dorm or that dorm. It would be possible to have smoking areas in all buildings that are well and far away from non-smokers.

On behalf of the Student Body, the Student Senate does suppport the banning of smoking or using a tobaccorela ted product in PSC's State Buildings.

oran's Research Uncovers Baker Lege

by Nancy Moran & Cathie English

People in Peru still talk about the murders that occurred on Tuesday morning, April 25, 1950. Professor Barney K. Baker walked into the offices of the college president, Dr. William Nicholas, and the education division chairman, Dr. Paul Maxwell, and shot both men to death. Baker then walked to his home and shot himself.

Nancy Handy Moran ot Auburn details the events of that day in the Fall l 988 issue of Nebraska History with an article entitled Tragedy at Peru State: The Murders of William Nicholas and Paul Max14·elf. She describes the events leading up to the murders and the consequences of the deaths on PSC and the sun families.

Moran, a registered nurse, began research on the article in the fall of 1986 as a senior historical project for Dr. Bruce Garver, UNO history professor. PSC librarian Jim Mulder suggested the Nicholas tragedy to Moran. She said, "I wanted to do a project that I could research close to home."

According to Moran, she wrote the paper with the intention of sending it to a historical magazine. She said it took approximately I00 hours to complete '.he work. "I tried to work really hard," she said. Moran sent the completed research project to the magazine in March 1987. She received a letter of acceptance from them in June 1987. She sent back two edited versions of her project, shortening the article and the number of footnotes. According to Moran, "It's a very long process and a lot of work on their part."

During the writing process, Moran conducted interviews and made numerous phone calls. She mailed out rough drafts of the article and permission slips to the people she interviewed. Moran said many people helped in the compilation of the article.

She cited Dorothy Stepan, who was Nichlas's secretary; Wanda Brown, Nicholas's daughter; James Burnett, Capt. 1Jf Invesigative Services of the Nebraska State Patrol: Lowell Hahn,

county judge at the time; Lt. Col. Rex Floyd, who handled the news media; Mr. Lee Casey, Auburn mortician; Earnest Longfellow, Clay Kennedy, Art Majors, and Robert and Bess Moran. "It pulled together the people who were most closely involved," Moran said of the article.

tudent Programs Offers Morbi

If you are looking for a thrill this alloween, the mansion across from Jzell Hall has been temporarily ovated into a haunted house. It is sponsored by Student Programs and according to Tyrone Muhs "It will be really scary because local ghosts will be visiting, instead of the overrated Jason and Freddy."

Another frightening bit of information ls that on April 25, 1950, Professor Barney Baker shot himself in this very house after having shot the president of the college and the chair of the education department. It is believed that the morbid mansion is actually haunted by Baker because no one claimed his remains. In f<_lct, a stroll up the steps will give almost anyone the chills.

Student Programs has worked hard for two weeks setting up the mansion in time for Halloween. They. are also in search of volunteers to help man the mansion over fall break so if \'OU are interested in ghosts and contact Eric Long or Kim Vrtiska.

The Morbid Mansion will open its doors of madness from 7:00 p.m. to IO:OO p.m., October 28th through the 31st. Admission is $1.00 for students and .50q: cor children under 12.

This house will serve as the Morbid Mansion sponsored by Student Programs. It is also the house where Barney Baker killed himself after shooting the President of the College and the Dean of Education. Photo by Mike of this Haunted House can be read on pg. 6

What is

by Michele Marschman

It's that time of the year again. The time when all the little ghosts and goblins emerge from their once normal bodies to play pranks and haunt local citizens with cries of "Trick or Treat." That's right. It's Halloween.

How did this holiday originate? Why do Americans hand out candy and dress up in costumes? Why decorate with pumpkins and black cats, and why celebrate this day on October 31?

The ancient Druids first celebrated what is most similar to Halloween on the eve of the Festival of Samhain, a celebration of harvest. November l is the Druid's new year of the sun god. They believe on October 31, the lord of death gathered souls of the dead who had been condemned to enter the bodies of animals.

The Irish believe that on October 31, spirits come out of a sacred cave, known to them as the gate of hell. These spirits were believed to kill farm animals and steal babies.

Irish people also founded one of the many legends concerning the jack-olantern. A stingy man named Jack supposedly was barred from heaven and was forced to walk the earth with a pumpkin lantern as a head.

The tradition of wearing costumes was originated by the Scottish. Young boys used to dress in black and carry torches in order to scare the witches away.

When Europeans migrated to the United States, their Halloween customs followed. They have intermixed and evolved into what is called Halloween today, the night of fright every October 31.

If last Saturday's first pre-season intrasquad scrimmage was a good indicator, the Peru State College mens basketball team could be an exciting team to watch this season.

The Blue squad, led by the scoring of guard Cedric Townsend and forward Kevin Mowery, defeated the Greys 9990 before an estimated crowd of 150 in the Al Wheeler Activity Center.

"I thought the kids played well for a first scrimmage," said Coach John Gibbs. "The things we didn't execute and the slight break downs are things we can correct."

The 189 points could be a good indication of what to expect this winter, Gibbs said.

"I think you'll see us getting up and down the floor more," he said. "It's the kind of basketball the kids like to play,

fans like to watch and I enjoy as "In the past, we haven't had quickness or the rebounding to that way. This year, we'll have en quickness, it's a matter of how rebound."

Gibbs, who enters his eighth seas the Peru State helm, said he wasp with the team's aggressiveness.

"We played with a lot of intensity said. "With the score 99 to 90, it be difficult to say that we played defense. But I was pleased with effort we gave."

"A lot of points came from pla good pressure defense and steals. There were also a lot oft when four or five guys were d around after a loose ball." Gibbs many players deserved praise.

Davidson, who enters his fourth season at PSC, initiated the idea first last year. The Lady Bobcats met Doane Coliege at Plattsmouth High School to honor Tammy Freeburg.

"It's something we feel is necessary to do for our players," Davidson said, "to reward them for putting the time and effort into our program."

alleyballers Adjust to Losing lberding

Life without Kristi Olberding will mean an adjustment for the Peru State ollege volleyball team, head coach ifer Nelson says.

"I think if we get a couple of practices in, and feel a little more comfortable with out her, we should be fine," said the Lady Bocats coach. "I feel we have a real good team and can pull through this. We're still capable of winning matches without her."

Olberding, the team leader in kills and blocks, injured her right ankle in an Oct. l 1 practice. She stepped on the toot ol another player in a hitting drill, and missed the next days regular-season match at Kearney State.

The loss of Olberding was felt, Nelson said, in a 17-15, 3-15, 9-15, 13-15 setback to the Lady Lopers at Cushing Coliseum.

"More that anything, we missed her blocking," said Nelson. "They (Kearney) established the middle hitter right away. Then they 'tarted shooting to the outside effectively."

"Karen (Ha uder) and

did a great job ip her place, but the pace is difference for them from the junior varsity matches. They had a little trouble adjusting."

Nelson, however, was encouraged with her team's scrambled effort. "l was pleased with out team effort, we really pulled together," she said. "We didn't have a chance to practice at all before -going out there and making any adjustments."

"We began the match digging the eyes out in the first game, but them we let down a little bit."

Junior Kaylee Michalski led the Lady Bobcat offense with 19 kills. The Ord. NE, native also added six service acL·s.

Setter Michelle Levin (G ranitc Cit;! dished out 37 assists in the fourgame match while hitter Pam Davis (Cozad) contributed nine kills and seve sen ice aces.

said she would cominue using Hauder and both sophomores as middle hitter blockers in Olberdinus absence.

Bobcats improves their record to 32- 7 by downing Tarkio College 3-2, in a match played Oct. 17 at Tarkio.

Olberdings status had improved at press time, and it is likely that she will be back in action before playoff time.

Leadership is an attribute the Peru State women's basketball team will not ""- be lacking of this season.

The Lady Bobcats, who finished 23- 7 a year ago and set a school record for most wins, return six seniors to the roster this fall.

Three of those veterans, guards Connie Viner, Denise Cave, and Annga Kossow, have been named tri-captains for the 1988-89 season by a vote of their teammates, Coach Wayne Davidson announced.

"Without a doubt, the team made three great selections," said Davidson, PSC's fourth year mentor. "They have all made great contributions to our program and we look forward to their leadership and play again."

Viner, a first team All-District choice last year, leads by example, Davidson said.

"Connie always gives 100 percent when she's on the floor," he said. "That type of performance is what you look for in captai.ns.

"In every practice and every game, Connie gives a full effort," Davidson said. "I think other players pick up on that."

Davidson said Cave and Kossow are more vocal examples.

"Denise is always lending encouraging words in practice and in games," he said. "That means a lot to our basketball team."

"Annga is another spirited player," Davidson said. "She also does her best to keep things lively and encourage the rest of the team members. That's a real asset to us."

Cave, a three-year starter, averaged 7.3 points per game and led the squad in steals (51) and assists (106) as a junior while playing most of the season's second half as a small forward.

Faculty Advises Job-Seekers

by Cathie English

Are good grades the most important requirement in applying for a job?

According to Mrs. Linda Warren, PSC Career Planning and Placement Director, prospective employers in education and business are looking for people who can market themselves. ''You have to tell about the things you've accomplished, give your strong points and show enthusiasm," she said.

Dr. Channing Cox, PSC vicepresident, said hiring a faculty member hinges on whether the applicant meets all of the position requirements. ''The number one thing is: can they do the

job?" he said. In making a final decision on a candidate with the proper degrees, Cox stated, "I would look at their record of previous success in a similar type of experience." He that a new hiree is at a disadvantage. "If you're new, I would look at your successes and leadership roles in other settings," he said. Cox also stressed the importance of demonstrating job qualifications.

Working with insects certainly doesn't bug PSC student Ellen Kruger.

In fact, her research with a species of gnat known as "Culicoides" has earned her a scholarship awarded to the outstanding undergraduate student in North America and Mexico, given annually by the Entomological Society of America.

She was recently notified of the honor by W. Darryl Hansen, executive director of the Lanham, Marylandbased ESA.

The honor is particularly meaningful to Dr. Larry Pappas, professor of biology at PSC, since it marks the second time in four years that one of his students has won the international award. Genelle Grossman, a 1987 Peru State graduate now involved in graduate school research at Harvard University, was PSC's previous recipient.

By the time this is printed, Election Day 1988 will have passed and with itall of the negative campaigning which predominated. I write this while that day is still one week off but I won't focus on which candidate I would like to see emerge victorious.

The two presidential candidates could not be more dissimilar, especially as pertains to their respective views on social issues. Since the sincerity of each candidate cannot be measured, I only hope that our next president will be someone who will effect standards which respect the individual and all the rights guaranteed in the Constitution. Fr ·edoms of choice are what define a mocratic society and they should applv to every aspect of our lives. We

Frankly Speaking

don't need an asterisk placed on certain freedoms. Our government must maintain consistency in its mandates on all issues in order to gain the public's respect.

As you make your way through this world, the ramifications of these elections will be made clearer to you, sometimes harshly. Your perspective will broaden and you will lose some of the idealistic outlooks you have.

Our new leader will shoulder a taxing load. Whatever our choice was, we should support out President and remain aware of the decisions made by him and his administration.

In an increasingly complex society, many Nebraskans might be surprised to learn that up to 40 percent of the state's population is without a high school diploma.

That is why a free adult education program being offered in the area through Peru State College's continuing education division comes in. The Adult Basic Education (ABE) program is currently being offered in the southeast Nebraska communities of Auburn, Nebraska City, Syracuse, and

Pawnee City. ABE offers basic education skills to those 16 and over who are not currently attending another school.

Peru State is willing to develop additional centers in other communities as needed, noted Mrs. Barbara Bender, ABE volunteer coordinator for Peru State.

Most of the instructors in the ABE program are retired educators, she noted, though a teaching background is not required for volunteers. Additional

The elderly and others with chronic disease may develop life-threatening complications from the flu, and these persons should have a flu shot. Most young people should have no lasting effects from the disease and shots are not recommended or administered on campus, said Peterson.

The nurse also recommends against taking aspirin for relief of flu symptoms due to the possibility of Reye's syndrome. Although rare, this neurological disease has killed young adults'.

Smoking is also inadvisable because it irritates the respiratory tract. David Sobel, M.D., Kaiser Permanent Health Maintenance Organization of San Jose, Ca.lifornia cautions that smoking impairs clearance of mucus from the lungs which may increase the risk of pneumonia.

The Rytreks: PSC is a Family Alfa'

By S. Montgomery

When the Hytrek family gets up every morning, they don't all go their separate ways like most families do, instead they all come to the "Campus of A Thousand Oaks."

Dr. Jack Hytrek came to Peru State College in 1979. He is the Director of Teacher Education and seems to feel comfortable with three of his children enrolled at PSC.

"The programs here are as good as or comparable to anywhere else, and it's easier to monitor their progress here," claimed Dr. Hytrek.

Mrs. Hytrek (Gayle) is Coordinator of Sponsored Programs, a Business Instructor and State Advisor for Phi Beta Lambda. This is her second year at Peru as a full-time faculty member.

Mrs. Hytrek likes having the family on campus, she said she gets to see more of the kids, and also that it keeps the lines of communication open.

"I teach both Brad and Jodi in Advertising, and sometimes I worry that when I use family examples in class, it makes them feel uncomfortable. Another thing I worry about is being fair in class because I tend to expect more from them," Gayle said.

Both Dr. and Mrs. Hytrek claimed that it is easier for them to send three kids to college here with the reduced tuition for faculty.

Lisa Cecil is the oldest child of the Hytrek's. This is her first year on campus as a Business Administration major.

Lisa says she likes having both parents on the faculty because it makes registration easier and her parents are a big help with planning classes. One thing she worries about is the other students suspecting favoritism.

Brad Hytrek is a junior, business major. He is involved in PBL and Young Democrats.

Brad claims that being a Hytrek gets him some advantages, like knowing more of the instructors and other people

on campus. He also claims that being a Hytrek has its disadvantages, like higher expect.ations from other instructors.

One other family member on campus is Shelly Abel, Gayle's niece. She is a freshman from Colorado and rooms with Jodi at Morgan Hall.

The Hytreks have one other daughter,

Kristy, who graduated last sprin 1 the University of Oklahoma.

Geraldo Rivera Exposes Satanism

Umner was eaten early, plans were changed, children were rushed away from television sets, and mouths hung open as Geraldo Rivera shocked the nation with his television special, "Devil Workshop: Exposing Satan's Underground," which aired Tuesday, October 25 at 7 p.m.

"Something took over inside my mind," stated Pete Roland, a former high school student now serving life in Fulton, MO for his part in the satanistic, ritual killing of a classmate. Roland· claims that the devil doublecrossed him, leaving him with an empty feeling, still wondering if his hands could actually be the ones he used to help club the young man to death.

The signs and symbols of Satanism are showing up everywhere: Maine, New York, New Jersey, Alabama, Missouri, Louisianna, Texas, Colorado, California and even Omaha, NE. Rivera points out that even our hardnosed police officers are shocked at the mutilated animal remains, grave robbings, and self-mutilations that are taking place across the United States. The counselors in the mental health fields are receiving threatening phone calls for working with clients trying to escape Satanism.

Toni Bates, a PSC sophmore who viewed the show for a Sociology class, stated, "I felt the show was very informative, but l wish it would have given more information on how to avoid or get away from Satanism."

'Td hate to see this become a religion in the United States," claims sophmore, Heather Waring.

Although a large percentage of televisions were tuned into the special, reports say that the Geraldo program still lost money because advertisers were afraid to have their products associated with Satanism in any way!

Dull Comedy ( 11//J

by Rhonda Siske

Punchline by Columbia Pictures starring Tom Hanks and Sally Field, is the story about two struggling stand-up comics trying to make it big while trying to get a few laughs.

trying to keep her sanity she ha at Romeo's trying to bee comedian. Which she isn't.

Tom Hanks has played in a lot roles. He deserves better roles t of a comedian who isn't even This movie has been given a rat' **, for fair. It is currently pla) theatres in this area.

Here is a question for you. What do you get when you cross "skate punk", rhythm and blues, and country folk? A street brawl'! you get Short Sharp and Shocked by Michelle Shocked. Shocked is a Texas based blues band, lead by a country girl anarchist named Michelle. Confused? Don't be. The music is as fun as it is catchy. Shocked has brought a revival of solid country blues. She has crossed it with college pop, and aimed it at a progressive listening group.

Michelie Shock's debut album offer's something for every class of people. Her opening number When I Grow Up is a rockabilly tune that any "yuppie" could easily play in a country bar. The rest of her album is surrounded by nice folk ballads about growing up in the Midwest.

Making the Run tells the story of a small town America at 11 :45 p.m. If Love was a Train, is a hard hitting jazz blues number very reminiscent of Linda Ronstandts early days. Memories of East Texas is a moody beautiful county ballad of individuals caught in a circle of small minds.

Other standouts in her album include Graffiti Limbo, a protest song of graffiti artist persecution in New York, and Black Widmv, which ties the album up.

The album draws on many musical forms and ties together nicely. It's just plain fun. Michelle Shocked was voted "Best New Blues Artist" by the American Blues Review. This album has been given a rating of ****1;.;, almost perfect.

The scenes mostly take place at Romeo's Club where two-bit comedians are trying to get some laughs. The punchlines aren't even funny, and somehow you try to feel that they are.

The movie doesn't have much of a plot. Sally field plays a boring housewife, who doesn't even fit the role. While

"I don't think it changed the outcome of the match though," she said. "Doane played excellently and was digging the eyes out of the ball. You can't take anything away from them."

Peru State's 'three seniors, Kristi Olberding, Michelle Levin, and Pam Davis who ended their careers Tuesday evening, drew Nelson's praise.

"I gave them a lot of credit," she said. "i figured up they won 74 percent of all their matches for their career. Before they came, this program was close to being just .500 every year."

"I think the key to this team was the fact they stuck ot out for four years and worked very hard with high goals in mind."

Olberding, a native of Falls City, along with 5-10 sophomore Kristi Deleeuw, each had nine kills against the Lady Tigers. Levin, a setter from Granite City, IL, dished out 28 assists while Davis recorded a season-high 17 digs.

Levin and Davis were the team's cocaptains.

Juniors Kaylee Michalski and Lynda Hein added seven kills apiece.

Peru State also knocked off Southwestern (TX) College, ranked NO. 2 in the nation at the time, while competing in the Missouri Western Invitational in St. Joseph, MO.

Three Lady Bobcats were named to the All-Independent League team, including Levin, Davis, and Mickalski.

Tri-Captains Chosen For Men's Basketb

§: The captains of the Peru State College mens basket ball team will wear a

different hat this season.

"They will assume different roles to some extent," said Coach John Gibbs. "They will all be more of an integral part of this year."

Attempting to wear those caps are seniors Kevin Mowery, Cedric Townsend, and Andy Hall, who were selected by a vote of their teammates, Gibbs said.

'Tm very happy with who the kids chose," he said. "They are all seniors, which I think is important, and good leaders."

Gibbs said the captain role will be an important one this season.

"We ask a lot of our captains,"he said. "They're players we expect to perform at a certain level and provide leadership by example."

The kids we chose are capable of doing this."

Mowery, a two-year starter since transferring to Peru State, was the Bobcats second leading rebounder, 6. 7 per game, while averaging9.3 points per game. He also led the squad with 15 blocked shots.

Hall, a 6-5 power forward, posted career highs of 5.7 points and 3.0 rebounds last season.

Gibbs is counting on Mowery and Hall to pick up the slack inside following the graduation of Mike Yates.

"Kevin and Andy will have to take the brunt of the scoring and rebounding inside," he said. "Mike did a lot of that for us last year."

"How strong we are inside will tell how good of a basketball team we are. We'll have a good perimeter game, and we need to match it with strength inside."

Yates, Peru State's No. 6 career scorer, averaged 18.8 points and 9.2 rebounds in last year's 13-17 campaign.

Townsend, a transfer guard from Penn Valley Community College a year ago, was PSC's leader in steals (60), second in assists (90), and third in scoring (l 1.9). The Kansas City, MO native was also an effective 3-point shooter, hitting over 42 percent.

"We're trying to take some of the pressure off Cedric this season," Gibbs

said. "Last year we asked him to score, handle the ball, run the offense, things like that. This fall, we're asking him to do some different things. It'll be a slight adjustment for him."

Townsend, slo.wed by an ankle injury in the season opener at Doane, recovered to average over 17 points per game in the season's second-half.

Gibbs said the trio have been good examples in practice.

"All three have shown more maturity from last year to this year," he said. "I think they're players the rest of the team looks up to."

"They've taken charge in pr got us going in the right They're really all good quality this is what we feel makes t sound decisions."

Gibbs said the selection pro easy.

"We had seven players who he said. "This says a lot a leadership on our team."

ordered the construction of an athletic field, the Oak Bowl."

With a dedicated effort, the Oak Bowl was finished in about a year; and on Thanksgiving Day in 1901, the field was christened. Not only did Peru fans witness a football victory, 30-0 over Falls City, they caught a glimpse of the up and coming. A preliminary women's basketball game was played that day in the Oak Bowl. Surprisingly, women's basketball dates back further than men's. Recorded as intramural competition, the women, according to Longfellow, played outside in either the Oak Bowl or on the tennis courts, located where the T.J. Majors Education building now stands. Games were later moved to the basement of the Chapel, and the first game played in the new gym provided a victory for the Peru women over Tecumseh, 18-2.

A men's team was also established and they too competed in the Chapel gym. Longfellow says little about the early history of men's ball, but cites the highlight as the 54-game conference winning streak that lasted from 1920 until 1926 when the Bobcats bowed to Nebraska Wesleyan 12-16.

Longfellow goes on to write that beyond football and basketball, sports history becomes difficult due to a lack of records. He notes that tennis, golf, track and baseball fell at the end of the year and were too late to be included in the yearbook. Therefore, little can be found to fully trace their progress.

Baseball began as an organized sport around 1900. Teams were apparently top-notch, but records were not clear until 1958 when Al Wheeler began

coaching and the new field was built Since then, Bobcat baseball has been noted with many achievements. Tennis, golf and track presented Longfellow with a problem. He found that track had been included since the spring of 1907. "However, lack of complete records before 1950 makes it impossible to give a comprehensive picture of performances, coaches or winning records."

Longfellow obviously worked long and hard researching this material. Athletics at PSC have been an important part of history and will continue to be important in the future. At times there is controversy about the role of sports on college campuses. A quote from a 1966 PSC football brochure summed up the importance at Peru for Longfellow: "As in the past, men will learn how to win and lose with grace; leadership learned on the field of battle will become leadership in society; and the rallying force of sport will long be a part of the lure which makes and keeps a Peruvian a Peruvian."

"You have to have a personality and be capable of interacting with others and you have to have a business-related background," Thomas stated. "Work experience shows whether you get along with your fellow employees and if you are loyal to your employer."

Thomas encouraged students to participate in the business internship program, headed by Mrs. Gail Hytrek, and the Business consultantship of the Nebraska Business Development Center, directed by Dottie Holliday. Both programs enable students to develop practical experience and training for the real world, according to Thomas.

Future employers want students who have gained knowledge and confidence through involving themselves in a variety of activities. A 4.0 GPA may look good on paper, but the ability to "sell yourself" is a greater priority.

by Cathie English coming energy crisis in America occur because our country is ·ng out of cheap oil, and our nd for it is growing at one-half n barrels per day, per year, ding to Marian Downey, a 1952 graduate and head of Roxanna Oil Katy, TX.

Downey, a Falls City native, addressed a large crowd, consisting of faculty students, and area high school students, in the college auditorium on Thursday, Nov. 17. Downey's speech culminated a full schedule of lectures on campus as part of the newly established Visiting Scholar program. His career has included 30 years with Shell Oil and extensive international travel in oil exploration.

"The world uses 47 million barrels of oil a day ... the U.S. uses 30 percent...we are the 'energy hogs'," Downey said. Future supplies of cheap oil are in the Middle East and are controlled by OPEC, a loose cartel of 13 countries, according to Downey. He pointed out that Non-OPEC countries haven't been able to find oil and gas outside of OPEC.

"The 18 million barrel production that we need can only be supplied by OPEC countries," he said. The crisis will occur because these countries will set the price of oil at $30-40 a barrel, just a few dollars below other expensive alternate supplies of oil in the world. At present,

Ison, who accumulated a 113-42 k in three seasons, will remain on PSC staff as an academic advisor summer programs coordinator. 1e hate to see her give up the 1ball program," Shea said. "She it under her wing and made a good

program better."

"Every year the team improved and it culminated in the best winning season in history," he said. "It's a tribute to the hard work done by her and the players."

Ncbon said a long-time affiliation with the sport. and the desire for a change in lifestyle, influenced her decision.

I'm really ready to try something else right now," she said."! want to explore and see what I can do with these possibilities."

the U.S. imports six million barrels of oil a day at $15 a barrel.

Downey also said, "nuclear energy won't save the day because there is a mind-set of anti-nuclear energy." People are not convinced that it is safe. Other alternate energy sources are a tokenism, according to Downey. Solar, hydro and geo-thermal power will not produce the energy that is needed.

Downey noted that superconductivity may be a hope for the future. The concept behind it reduces the tremendous·· loss of energy when electricity is transmitted. The technology to produce superconducting cable is "optomistically" 15 years away, according to Downey.

"We need well-educated leaders forthe future," he stated. America needs leaders who will lead and direct our country through the problems to come. He said that leaders often react with short term solutions. The key, according to Downey, is "a little hardship today for the sake of the children tomorrow."

Downey also said we need to become a different type of society. He qouted his British wife, Marea, who said we need a society of "shabby gentility."

Loan Prograin Probleins May Affect P

by Merri Johnson

It's a fair bet that the main thing on most students' minds during November's pre-registration week was scheduling: trying to avoid early morning or night classes and still getting the needed credit hours.

Perhaps by now, thoughts of scheduling next semester's education have been replaced by thoughts of paying for it.

That's a common strategy. Get it now, pay for it later. The pitfall, of course, is the possibility of not having the money later when the bill comes due.

Congress is all too familiar with the problem of budget shortfalls. In fact, the Omaha-World-Herald reported on Nov. 12 that expenditures of$32 billion will have to be cut from the fiscal 1990 budget to bring it in line with the German-Rudman balanced budget law. So, what does the deficit have to do with you and your education?

GLS's Overdue

Consider the Guaranteed Student Loan (GSL) program. It, too, has fallen victim to the pitfall of deferred payment. The Education Department has revealed that approximately $5 billion in GSL's are overdue. In the last fiscal year alone, taxpayers covered $1.5 billion in GSL defaults.

With the pressure on to lower the deficit, the President-elect Bush's vow not to raise taxes, the Congress will be looking for other ways to narrow the gap between income and outgo.

One of those ways will be to tighten funding of existing programs, especially where abuse or waste is evident.

The GSL program has already come under fire. Former Education Secretary William Bennett proposed last year that schools with a GSL default rate in excess of 20 per cent be dropped from the program.

Dwight Garman, PSC director of financial aid. stated recently that he doesn't feel the 20 per-cent default rate

proposal will actually be adopted in light of more recent suggestions for dealing with the problem. But if it is, the possibility exists that PSC could be affected. Depending on the basis for calculating GSL default rates, PSC falls somewhere between 12 and 24 per-cent, according to Garman.

Changes Likely

Regardless of the actual default rate at PSC, there are real problems with the GSL program and changes are likely. It's easy to label GSL defaulters as deadbeats who lack the compunction to fulfill their obligations. But data complied by the Belmont Task Force, comprised of individuals knowledgeable about the GSL program, show that students most likely to default on their loans are those who drop out of school early in their college careers.

That revelation is hardly earthshaking. It stands to reason that· dropping out of college will reduce future employment opportunities. That, in turn, will have a direct, adverse impact on financial ability to repay the loan.

The Belmont study also reported that a significant number of dropouts come

fr?m low income families. E Garman believes that soci academic problems are a bigger in dropping out than lack of Perhaps this will change as participants in Head Start and programs reach college age. There are encouraging studies that Head Start is helping low children and families develo positive attitudes and abilities and academically.

Regardless of the reason ford out and defaulting on GSL' students with a high probab repaying their loans will be hu and other legitimate scho dropped from the program.

The Education Department will comments from any indi concerning program changes u end of February 1989. You can Education Secretary Lauro Ca the United States Depart Education, Washington, D.C.

Victim of Segregation Speaks Out i?:

by a Concerned Victim

Anti-Smokers and Crusaders: ght segregation went out with oms and hippies, yet PSC is ting to rule that smokers should egated from State Buildings. the liberty of investigating some bout smoking, and research has d some facts that TV and various anti-smoking reports don't. example, the National Academy cience issued a report which wledged that "available scientific does not show that smoking on or in public places such as nts, jeopardizes the health of smokers."

io Commentator Paul Harvey ed out that over a fifty-year period ers paid $I 50 billion in excise to the government, who in turn the money to build new public dings, fund new and old ment programs, and various

other public activities. Mr. Harvey, a non-smoker, was quoted as saying, "People should choose whether or not they want to smoke. The anti-tobacco crusaders have libeled the tobacco industry."

Residents of Minnesota paid $202 million in federal and state tobacco excise tax in 1986: do the anti-smokers realize that that money would have to come out of their pockets if it were made so that smoking was illegal? But, if you want even higher taxes continue at the pace you are going and you will get a smoke-free environment, higher taxes, budget cuts, and less federal funding. The choice, unfortunately is yours.

A study conducted by International Technology Corp. of Torrance, California points out that a nonsmoking employee in a typical office would have to work more than six and a half 40-hour weeks in a row to be

exposed to the nicotine equivalent"of

one cigarette. The study also shows that it would take 398 continuous hours for·a w diner in a restaurant to be exposed to nicotine 'equivalent' of a single cigarette.

1 think a few rules and regulations for the non-caring smokers are necessary, but to prosecute the whole smoking public for the benefit of others is unconstitutional. I don't tell you how you are supposed to walk or drink your water, why should you be able to tell me whether I should smoke or not?

TV Comedian Milton Berle summed up the whole situation when he said, "If you don't smoke, nobody's going to hold a gun to your head and make you start. But if you want to smoke, that's your decision. Nobody-not the antismokers, not the crusaders, not all the moralists in the world-has the right to make your decision for you."

.S.--U.S.S.R. Need To Define New Identities

by Dr. Channing Cox is month the American people ed new leaders after a decidedly tive and unenlightening campaign.

Soviet people do not elect their s but are encouraged by Mikhail bachev's "glasnost" (openness) and potential of "perestroika" ructuring). Each nation, however, inues to struggle for identity in a world while maintaining its old of the other.

a student of Soviet-American tions, I am always intrigued by the ter of death each sees hovering over other. Invariably, some economic has spelled the end. The only thing and well at these vigils is the focating grip of economic

ir economic system is castigated n though it has brought · aginable prosperity to the longering Russian people. Our system is amentally "flawed" despite an recedented standard of living. Each ·o, however. misses the mark.

ikhail Gorbachev has recognized t the basic problem facing the Soviet ion is socio-political and is racterized by the rigid bureaucracy an ossified leadership structure.

State tyranny, repression, conformity, and fear stalk the land. Our problem is intellectual and moral which I'm not sure George Bush has recognized. We fail to practice what we preach about equality and opportunity, but most of all, we fail to educate our citizens to the responsibilities of a democratic society. Their people have become dull, stereotyped, doctrinaire, and antlike in their behavior; our people have become flabby, bored, cynical, and slovenly.

There is substantial evidence of the connection between capitalism and democracy. The weak link in this chain, however, is capitalism's failure to use its enormous wealth and freedom to foster and strengthen democracy. Jefferson and his colleagues would certainly have hoped that public life would not run a poor last to television. sports. barbecues, and market quotations.

The American state has encouraged its citizens to concentrate on materialism. status. and security to such an extent that a majority would not sign the Declaration of Independence. Knowledge of the Constitution and the intellectual. ethical. and religious bases of our society arc understood little and appreciated less.

it is this unrelenting preoccupation

with getting and spending that will be our undoing. What is eating away at us is the failure of our efforts to strengthen "the community" as our society prospers.

This country was inspired by an idea of human potential that subsumed econo mic behavior. The stunted conception of "economic man" (or woman) driven by economic imperatives would please Karl Marx, but cannot save us any more than the collective behavior of the Soviets can save them. Sadly, there was little discussion of this during the fall campaign. Nothing seemed as important as the ledger and, of course, coming across well on the tube. Maybe the Russians will have better luck.

Career Fair Rescheduled For January

An Omaha Career Fair scheduled for November 30th has been rescheduled for a later date, January 26.

According to Linda Warren, placement director, the fair, to be held at Peony Park Ballroom in Omaha, is sponsored by Career Centers, an Omaha placement agency.

The agency is directed by a post-UNL Placement Director, Gerry Phaneuf; his goal is to serve graduates in cooperation with their placement offices. He attempts to provide students from small schools the same career opportunities that university students enjoy (i.e. big

companies coming on campus to interview.) draws these companies to his office and the fair by advertising that he has a pool of well-qualified students from many small schools equal in number to the students the recruiter could see at a visit to the University.

As of November 15, 12 companies were committed to the January 26 date, and 20 more were tentatively planning to attend. It is very likely several more companies will attend. Those committed are:

ergy Students Get 'Electrified' On Trips

by Chris Angel ooper Nuclear Station and the

n Power Station are two stations nypeopledon't know very much , However, this changed as Dr. 's energy classes took field trips to places where new knowledge "fied the students.

, electricity is the basis of these two . Both belong to the Nebraska Power District (NPPD) and other similarities as well. Both are alike in the fact that they use to drive turbine generators to get product of electricity. The only ce is that Cooper uses nuclear and a reactor, while Sheldon uses and boilers to generate electricity. ents also noticed a difference in y that each station was operated. biggest difference in the two r stations seemed to be that the er Nuclear Station had more Jations to follow, while the Sheldon

Station was more relaxed and security didn't seem like a main priority," said Harold Richardson, senior.

"I felt the nuclear station had extremely strict rules and regulations, whereas the coal-fired station seemed less strict," said Lynnette Matthews, senior.

However, with both of these stations belonging to the NPPD, they generate electricity for a large amount of people.

According to NPPD, there are some 350 cities, towns and rural, and other power districts in Nebraska that rely totally or partially on them for electricity. The grid system is the backbone of power for approximately 760,000 Nebraskans.

One place that has direct and indirect contact with both of these stations is the Lincoln Electric System (LES). The energy classes also visited LES, where they found out that the cheapest power they buy comes from Cooper Nuclear

Station. The students also learned ways i in which LES is being cost effective within the company itself. This has included experimentation with electric cars, solar heating, and individual heaters blowing on mechanics in the garages instead of having to heat the whole room.

"Both trips showed different aspects of the field of energy. We got to look at the services provided to the public," said Matthews.

"I felt that the trips gave students an opportunity to see how power plants are operated and to ask questions about them." said Richardson.

The energy class was given the rare opportunity to see the inside workings of two stations that generate a great deal of electricity throughout Nebraska. Through the knowledge that these students gained, some of the mysteries of nuclear and coal-fired stations may have been put to rest.

Citrin Headlines Workshops MANN VISION CENTERS

Even in a state like Nebraska, known its quality of life, the horrors of child se and child neglect are not ommon.

d for every incident that is known, ny more go unreported.

Jn an effort to focus attention on the subject and to offer means of detecting and treating victims of abuse and neglect, the Nebraska State Department of Health has retained Dr. Anthony Citrin of Peru State College to headline a series of workshops across the state.

Dr. Citrin is a noted expert on the subject, and recently published his second textbook entitled "Victims All." He is an associate professor of education at Peru State.

The State Department of Health ·workshops will be geared toward emergency medical technicians, quick response teams, and other "front-line" medical personnel, although the general public is welcome also.

Dr. Citrin will advise them on methods of detecting victims of abuse or neglect.

He will counsel them on what steps to take when a case of abuse or neglect is suspected.

The workshops are scheduled to begin this month. Medical personnel will earn three "contact hours" towards certification or recertification from Peru State College.

lfU2 Movie Rating Is Perfect

by Rhonda Siske (Rating Scale)

Forget It*:, Fair**:, Worth a look

***:,Very good, don't miss.****:

If you love fantastic music and artistic photography, then you will love "U2 Rattle and Hum" by Paramount Pictures. This is a movie documentary about the Irish rock group "U2." The movie introduces the audience to the four great musical geniuses that make up this incredible rock group: Bono, Larry Mullen, Jr., The Edge and Adam Clayton are the four men that explosively bring the screen alive with creative artistic sounds and scenes from their latest tour around the country. Filmed mostly in black and white, this movie is brilliantly photographed with excellent close-up shots of the band members in deep thought. According to director Phil Joanou, the black and white shots and its effects are to "reach out and grab you." Creating this movie by filming most of it in black and white certainly does just that. These four men will someday be considered the greatest rock band of this decade and perhaps the next. The movie "U2 Rattle and Hum" certainly makes this statement

Critics Should

by S. Montgomery

There is one thing on this campus I think there is a surplus of. No, it's not athletes, instructors or construction workers, but PSC critics. They think their purpose in life is to criticize everything even the college they chose.

I can remember my freshman year at Peru, my roommate's sister came to visit her at Morgan Hall. As the criticism started I left the room. I was happy with what many people call 'Peru High School.'

"lsn 't there any place to shop?" "There isn't even a Pizza Hut?" "You must feel like you're in prison!" "No wonder everyone gets drunk all the time!"

I had heard it all before with all the other family members, I couldn't bear another round!

true. With li.ttle dialogue and interviewing of the band "U2," you don't feel as if you get to know each member personally except Larry Mullen, Jr. He bares his feelings on the screen in a scene at Sun Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. However, you get to know each member personally through their music and their talents while watching and listening to them perform on-screen.

The movie opens with the song"Helter Skelter" by the Rolling Stones. Other tremendous numbers follow. One very good scene is shot in Harlem. The band sings "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For." This song is majestically performed by U2, along with the "New Voices of Freedom," a Harlem Chorus singing group. Other electrifying songs follow throughout this movie. "When Love Comes to Town," is performed on stage with B.B. King. His voice and guitar playing creates an exciting mood and sensation for the audience. for the audience.

Offers Career Opportunitie

by Paul Saenz

The fall of 1986 saw the introduction of a new business into the Peru Telecommunications Marketing Incorporated or TM I, came to Peru after PSC President Dr. Jerry Gallentine informed the company that there was a need for jobs in the area and space was available for a Peru office. TM! agreed to try Peru out on a trial basis and it appears to have been a successful venture. as TM l has just completed its second year of operation here. The Peru office was tops in its first year and ranks number one overall for 1988. This reflects well on the efforts of everyone involved.

The employees of TM! fill a wide variety of positions, from the Telephone Sales Representatives (TSR 's) who contact the public, to those in Quality Assurance. Sales Verifiers, Sales Management and Branch Administration. These people comprise a wide spectrum including PSC students, high school students and members of the surrounding communities. All have found the benefits ofajob in which you control a commission on top of a set base pay.

For the PSC student, TM! offers , c\vards both financially and through nc experience. This has proven :specially true for Steve Matthews, who " the current Assistant Branch 1ager at TMI's Peru office. Steve came to work as a TSR just after Jffice opened. He was looking for a .'an-time job to earn extra money to get tiicugh school. He also saw TM! as a growing company with a lot of room for advancement. He was right, because he has advanced very well within the company. After three months as a TSR. he was promoted to Quality Assurance manager and was simultaneously trained to teach new TSR's. Seven months later he was promoted to Sales Manager. After serving in that capacity for three months he transferred to Albany, N. Y. to help their TM I office out due to a shortage of sales managers. W'hile he was in Albany, he was chosen by the Peru office to become the Assistant Branch Manager to Kathy Schwartz, who had just taken over as manager of the Peru office. During this time, Steve had also graduated from PSC with a Business Administration

Degree.

The next stop for Matthews will be a big one. He is being transferred to TM l's Omaha branch in order to prepare him for managing his own branch office. Matthew's says "I look forward to the challenge. The move to Omaha will help me. I've done well as an ABM and I'm ready." He feels his education helped him, especially the different styles of management he learned. He feels, "from administration to personnel, it all comes down to what you have learned previously." To those unfamiliar with TM I, Matthews encourages people to "look at TMI as not only part-time money but as a good work experience. All businesses like to see telemarketing experience on a resume, as it is being incorporated widely in the business world."

Matthews hopes people realize that the advances he has made exemplify the opportunities available in the telemarketing field. He says "all TM I's need sales managers, its a start to a career in any business. Even if you're training to move on you can always interview for the location you want. I There are going to be new offices opening up soon.

Matthews isn't the only PSC student who has moved up at TM I. There are currently four past PSC students now in management positions.

Former student Wendell Bogle much the same way as did Matth student looking for extra inco started right after the office ope TS R. Six months later be mov QA. At this time he found thinking that he should be us experience to help the TSR's wit obstacle they came up agains hadn't sought a management but when it was offered to him, it.

1988-89 Men's Basketball Schedule

Junior forward Carrie Menges scored 17 points and pulled down a game-high 13 rebounds to lead Peru State College to a 67-61 victory over Tarkio (Mo.) in the season opener Nov. 15 at Nishna Valley .High School in Hastings, Iowa.

Menges, a native of Bennington, Neb., scored 11 of her points in the second half as the Lady Bobcats overcame a 3027 halftime deficit.

The 5-foot-10 Menges was eight of 13

from the floor and one-for-four on tjle

free throw line. Of her l3 rebounds, ten were on the offensive end.

Seniors Connie Viner and Elaine Ferin

both scored in double figures for PSC with 16 and 12 points respectively.

The Lady Bobcats, 1-0, will face five straight road contests before hosting their first home game in the Al Wheeler Activity Center on Dec. 2 against Dana College.

Seven 'Cats Receive All-Conference Hono

Peru State College placed seven players on the 1988 Tri-State Athletic All-Conference football team announced Nov. 14 by TSAC coordinator Larry Wilcox of Benedictine College.

Conference champion Northwestern, undefeated in 11 regular-season contests and headed into the NAIA Division II national playoffs, dominated the squad with ten selections. Benedictine and Westmar had six and three choices respectively.

"I thought everyone that we had make it, deserved it," said Peru State Coach Tom Shea. "We had some players who had very good individual efforts this year.

"We were also fortunate on a couple of people," he said. "But there was a player or two who was deserving of being AllConference and didn't make it either."

Shea was referring to freshman receiver Cory Catterson, who finished third in the conference in receiving with 33 catches for 559 yards. At the time of the voting, Catterson was second.

"It was a situation I think where a senior won out," he said. "I was a little disappointed because I felt Cory played well enough to be on it."

One Bobcat who all the coaches agreed on was offensive tackle Brad Smith. The Senior from Lincoln, Neb., was the highest rated player on the 26-member squad.

That gives the 6-5, 265-pounder an excellent shot of being named to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Division II AllAmerican team.

"I think his chances are very good," Shea said. "I thought he was the best offensive lineman in the conference, and there were a lot of kids with excellent talent and ability.

"His size, speed, and consistency was a big factor," he said. "He was highly regarded by the other coaches for that."

Smith, a three-year starter since transferring from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, was a second-team

Division II pick a year ago.

The other Bobcats honored include defensive end Shane Alexander, defensive tackle Dan Blackburn, cornerback Tony Perry, linebacker Kory Lind, fullback Joe Parks, and place kicker Brian Levin.

Shea said the selections of Alexander and Blackburn were "mild" surprises.

"When I went into the meeting, I wasn't expecting to get both," he said. "But they both had good seasons. Dan was especially consistent."

Blackburn, a 270-pound senior from Glenwood, Iowa, led the Bobcat lineman with 70 tackles, one better than his '87 total.

Alexander, a senior from Hershey, Neb., was PSC's third leading tackler with 75 stops. He also had 5Yi quarterback sacks and five tackles for losses.

Alexander and Blackburn were ranked eighth and 12th respectively in the conference balloting.

Shea said Lind, who led the Bobcats with I 0 I tackles and 11 stops behind the line for 29 yards in losses, was amongst good company in Benedictine's Marty Kobza and Northwestern's Dave Izenbart.

"Kory lines up to play every game," he said. "Being included in that group (of linebackers) says a lot for him.

"Linebacker is a tough position that requires being involved in pass coverage, rushing plays, and option responsibilities. He does all three very well."

Perry, a four-year starter, led the conference with six interceptions. raising his career mark to 15. The Gifford, Fla., native was named the TriState "Player of the Week" after intercepting three a school-record three passes in the Bobcats 28-12 victory over Concordia.

"Tony really came back to haw a solid senior season," Shea said. "l\ lot of teams tried to pick on him and he accepted the challenge."

Levin, who failed in his bid to the NAIA career field goal earned All-Conference status reputation, Shea said.

"Even though he didn't have t of season he wanted to, his rep precedes him," Shea said. "He kic points for us this year and set a school records."

Levin, a senior from Granite Ci. established ten new marks in t record book, highlighted by career field goals and 225 poin also converted 37 consecutive after-touchdowns (PA T's).

Peru State's honorable-mention Conference selections include dd end Rick Ripperger, offensive Pat Haxton, wide receiver Cosgrove, and Catterson.

Ends With Tourney I

by Paul Sae.nz

Tournament play finished up the season for intramurals volleyball this \N week. At press time the championships had been decided in coed and women's leagues but the men's tournament had yet to be played.

The winner of the coed division was the Hammer Down team, which played much better in the tournament than they did in round-robin play. The women's division had only three teams entered, so the teams played each other twice, with the champ being the team with best record. That team was U.S.A., which won its four games.

The men's tournament was played this past monday night. Going into the tournament, the team with the best record of the seven in the division was Rapa-Dama-Day at 6-0.

Next semester will start with intramural basketball for men, women and coed teams and intramurals director Patsy Shea wants you to get your team together and entered soon.

Accompanying this success has been a growing support by fans from the college and surrounding area. Head women's basketball coach, Dr. Wayne Davidson, said that "This is

a harder place to play than it was a few years ago." He noted that coaches from visiting teams often remark on their obvious disadvantage when playing Peru at home.

So get out there and help out the 'Cats. Everyone benefits from school spirit. The PSC response to, "How 'bout you?," should continue to be, "We've got more!"

Christmas Is Slowly Coming

by Michelle Kimball

Christmas is coming! Slowly, very slowly, but it is coming! That's just a few encouraging words to convince you to keep smiling, while I'm trying to convince myself at the same time. All the tests, quizzes, papers to write, lines to memorize, etc., make me feel sometimes that it's time to throw in my pens, books, notebooks, and anything else I have to throw! (usually you talk of throwing in the towel) But, I have to throw something that will either make noise or break something. Usually if I just go off somewhere by myself and scream at the top of my lungs, or, if all else fails, cry, then I feel much better! Letting go of a few frustrations and letting off some steam usually works for me.

If these "Before Christmas Blues" hit you and you feel like you can't do anything right or you have too much on your mind, don't worry. (And I'm not going to add "Be Happy") You are not alone! Everyone has a day (If you're anything like me, you have weeks!) where nothing goes right, someone yells at you more than once, you go through the whole day and then realize that your socks don't go with your sweater (This is tragic for me) and you just want to crawl

in a hole and hibernate. Keep your chin up, because soon you11 be sitting around a pine tree tearing up boxes with pretty paper on them and pulling out something you've been dying to own! Christmas will get here! And It will be worth the wait, I promise!

PSC Needs Foreign Language Progra

by Cathie English

The Peru State College New and Expanded Budget Requests, submitted at the budget subcommittee meeting on July 13, 1988, states the following: "Future projections seem to indicate that society is becoming increasingly multi-lingual. In order for our graduates to be able to effectively communicate in a future society, there is a need to recognize that a foreign language requirement is becoming a high priority concern."

The request continued, stating the need of a foreign language requirement in the General Studies program. It also addressed the issue of teaching English as a foreign language. It called for FTE personnel, a language laboratory, computers and software, and audio\ isual equipment.

The request was made for the 1990-91 school year. Because of the many requests and existing departments' critical needs, no funds were appropriated for this area of development. It is time to end deferment concerning reinstatement of foreign language courses at Peru State College.

PSC has a history of offering language courses; 26 hours of Spanish and I 0 hours of elementary French were offered in 1970- 71. According to Dr. Clyde Barrett, Professor of English, the language courses were dropped because of budget cuts and because of a minimal number of students enrolled. PSC reflected a national trend in the decline of language course enrollments of the late 60's and 70's.

Colleges Reinstate Foreign Languages

In recent years, major colleges have instituted or reinstituted language re4uirements into their programs. Chinese, Japanese, Russian and Arabic have become popular due to international diplomacy and business competition. The rise in the number of Spanish-speaking Americans presents a crucial need for educators who are qualified to teach bilingual courses.

According to Linda Warren, placement director, in the past two years, approximately 38 percent of PSC students were education majors. The area of greatest need in the teaching field is in the predominately Spanishspeaking states of California and Texas and other southern states. Offering Spanish would enable students to be placed in these areas of the United States.

Graduates May Work Out of State

PSC prides itself on its high record of placement. Over the past three years, according to Warren, approximately 75 per cent of PSC graduates were placed in Nebraska. The declining economy and population of Nebraska may force graduates to seek employment in other areas. A foreign language background would be an asset in seeking employment.

There is a need for foreign language courses at Peru State College. The

students of this college must take progressive attitude. They must about the education they are rec· before action will take place. Also, must believe that foreign languages contribute to their educati experience.

Students Must Request Langua

Ultimately, it is up to the studen insist on an improved and expa curriculum. Students must bring t attention of the administra( subcommittees and legislators, foreign languages are a priority. this occurs, foreign language cou will become more than just a request a piece of paper.

acuitylumn: Residence Life Teaches Us All

by Dan Haugland

all need to be aware of residence our campus. There are a great things one can learn by living in idence hall, things that help you ugh your life. Things like: along with others. Many ts come to live in the dorms with ious experience in this area. It's or some, easier for others, to get This includes sharing with a ate, keeping your own noise at eptable level, using the shower everyone else isn't, and so on. 'ng the needs of others and f. For people who just move in aroommate who have never had to e their room or anything in it, this be harder than you think. A mates' responsibility is to do what or she wants with consideration of rights of his or her roommate. This major reason that roommates do get along: Their roommate is a /neat freak; has visitors of the site sex over all the time; studies all ime; plays loud music all the time; in very late/ early in the morning wakes the other; and the list goes Little conflicts like this, the lack of t for one's self and one's

roommate, are the reason roommates conflict. Remember that a resident's two basic rights are to sleep and to study: go by this and everyone will be happy.

Newfound freedom. College is the first time in a person's life when he or she is no longer under the rigid control of their parents' rule. Dorm life is by no means "the real world," but it certainly is the big step towards it. This leads to the realization that you must have.

Self Discipline. You realize that Mom and Dad aren't there to get you up in the n1orning, feed you, iron your underwear, and get you motivated to go to classes. Now it's up to you. Lifelong friendships. The people you meet and become friends with in college are your friends for life. It is with these people you have gone through a major transition in your life, and it is this common experience that bonds you to your friends. You also begin to change your behavior when it comes to your friends: no more petty squabbles over boyfriends/ girlfriends, who's driving, homework, and the like. Everyone here is unique, and you mature in your relationships.

on't Complain About the Water

this is not a review of the latest · by Steven King or the food · e lunch menu (no offense). This is thing some of us shower in the ing with or bathe in before we go

. It is something we are suppose to ume eight glasses of a day, and even our clothes in.

t the only use I've heard from the nt body in general for this tance is something for the campus alleviate themselves in, and then it ves stains, they complain. This uity is Peru water.

inally, though, we can rest a little "rat night knowing that the city of

Peru is putting a million-three toward an end to the water problem, 0ecause for this school year, the skyline is all that's going to change around Peru.

The new water tower, which is scheduled for completion around the first of the year, will bring, yes, the same water we receive now, except with better pressure and through a new distribution system. The real water that all of us pay 95<1: a gallon for at the Corner Market will finally grace out faucets sometime this summer, if completion of the new water treatment plant north of town follows schedule.

But the point is that there is being something done. We the students and faculty of Peru State College and the people of Peru deserve better water than we receive now, and 1 think the city of Peru has realized that. And heck, we've put up with this water on campus for 12 l years, what's one more.

Residence hall living plays an important part in the entire college experience, and it is something everyone should have the privilege of going through. It is a great experience.

Criminology Class Tours Pen

by S. Montgomery

Perhaps not every student would feel as fortunate as the few brave souls who toured the Nebraska State Penitentiary in Lincoln, on Tuesday, November 22. It was the second of Miss Emerson's Criminology classes to take the tour.

The tour began around 12:30, as the students individually stepped through the electronic "Friskem" machine and then were hand-frisked, two at a time. After going through a series of bars and gates, we anxious yet nervous students entered the yards.

We had entered the prison as Criminology students, yet once on tf:e yards, face to face with handcuffed murderers. rapists, robbers and oiher criminals: we became frightened spectators accompanied by unarmed guards.

We saw it as a city within a city. This city contained a college, a license plate factory, a reholpostered furniture factory, a Braile information service, and even a sewing business run by a fellow classmate's husband. The city

also consisted of a chapel and even dorms for the more trusted inmates.

As we walked by the building; pointed out to us as death row, home of the famous John Joubert, we noticed someone pounding on the window; hard enough to scare off even the birds which had landed there for a rest. By this point in the tour, most of us were feeling a little less tense and found it quite amusing when a prisoner walked over to our group and yelled "boo"!

As our tour ended, we thanked the were given the chance to speak with an inmate. The man painted a clean picture of by telling us what a family man he was, and how unfair his sentencing of 30 to 40 years for armed robbery was, Later the guards pointed out to us that he was also in for other serious crimes as well.

As our tour ended we thanked the guards and went back into the outside world as Criminology students, thankful for the opportunity for such a learning experience.

majority in the audience had not attended any previous public meetings concerning the project. Mrs. Harlan Bohling, Auburn, said she didn't feel opponents of the project had been given a chance to say how they felt. She also expressed concern that the issue would put rural residents against town dwellers. "They're (city people) thinking of the money. We're (rural people) thinking of the next generations," she said.

Gary Rogge, Auburn, also stated that he lelt town people would benefit financially but country people would suffer health-wise by "inhaling radiation" from the waste site. Grams countered questions of health risks by stating that "our landfills are much more hazardous to the environment than this facility."

Neal was asked what would happen if all three of the finalists to be selected by Jan. I, 1989 withdrew their support.

'Tm curious," said Theresa Glockel, junior. "I wonder what kind of a grade I need on the final to get a good grade out of the class."

"l think about quitting school, because I'm afraid I'll draw one huge blank on my finals," said Patty Gebers, junior. No matter what you might feel, each student needs to prepare mentally and physically for his or her finals. There are many ways to do this.

"! find every spare moment possible studying, including after work and staying up late," said Brenda Masat, sophomore. "I keep a clear head and try

to soak up all the material that I can through reviewing."

"I try to get plenty of rest. I also tell myself to study properly now, and before I know it, finals will be over," said Glockel.

The key word in both of these statements is studying. Make time to study, because it will be well \\Orth it, but don't procrastinate. When you get tired of studying, take a break and drain it from your mind. Get plenty of sleep, relax, and be confident in yourself.

How will you feel when your finals are over? It can be summed up in one word. "Relieved," said Masat.

The Methodist Nursing School Distinction Graduate came to Peru in mid April of '88 setting herself several goals which many she has already accomplished including getting the Peru Health Service to meet the National level of acceptance, despite a shortage of funds.

"I am confident I will reach my goals simply because I feel everyone is giving me a lot of support, physically and mentally."

Spirit of Christmas Remains Consta

b A S d happening and of the guiding star, but The earlv Italian Christmas y my , ny er ·

Christmas takes on different appearances around the world. It is celebrated in every time zone and each area has its own set of traditions.

Germany and Italy give examples of the diverse celebrations centered around the same holiday.

Many of the world's Christmas rituals stem from Germany. The use of the evergreen tree as decoration first came from the area of the Black Forest. The spruces were decorated with sparkling glass balls and garlands of tinsel.

The advent calendar and advent wreath are joyous custums of Germany, but the season also has a history of darkness. Evil spirits were once said to roam free at this holy time. So on Thursday before Christmas, people dress in grotesque costumes and travel from house to house, loudly driving the spirits away.

It was even once believed that old Father Christmas, a kind bearer of gifts, traveled with a band of these hoodlums who passed out punishments to naughty children.

hristmas Memories Mean

by Cathie English year,

for Christmas, I got a new 'and mittens. That was it. Like kids, I really didn't know why were so tough, I just accepted it. S, I was one or the older kids, so l I was suppose to understand. as all right with 111e that the little got new toys, because that's what tmas is all about. l don't ber what they got, I just know Lisa, Julie, Denise, Charlie and i were full of joy and laughter like kids should be.

cannot recall what we had for tmas dinner that year, either. It have been something good and and nourishing. If times were we probably didn't get a big lean

ham. We might have had pheasant or chicken or maybe even a goose. My dad likes to hunt, and I do remember having goose on occassion.

What I remember most about that Christmas was my scarf and mittens. I know mom made the scarves herself. They were made oul of that poli-suede material that was really popular in the early 70's. It was indestructable stuff. And warm. She probably bought a large piece of it because Mike, Ldrry, Chris, Scott and I got a scarf. A ,ery long scarf. With a !ittle money left over after buying toys and groceries, mom must have bought the mittens. Warm mittens.

I suppose that other got new scarves and for Christmas tbat

I thought dbout those who didn't have a home or family, or who \Vere sick and starving. l prayed for them. I had a merry Christmas because we were healthy and we were together.

hat do you pian to do over Christmas vacation?

Chad Erickson,jreshman--"I plan to get a lot of presents, go to many parties, see my girlfriend, and do lots of crazy things!"

Michelle Curtis, sophomore--"! get to do my first practicum and then I will visit my grandparents in Waterloo, NE. I also plan to relax, if at all possible."

Sharlene Most, junior--" I plan to go home for a couple of weeks, and then cvrne back for women's basketball game."

Angelia Rohwer, junior--'Tm going home to spend brea1<. my family. My birthday falls over break too, so I'll be celebrating for a few days!"

Dr. Charles Harper--"Figure grades for second semester!"

Terry Wenzl, junior--" I am going to read and write, wax my truck, go shopping, and visit my relatives--including a new little cousin that is soon to be born."

hining Season for PSC Volleyball

r the PSC volleyball team, the season was highlighted by several happenings.

the beginning of the season, Lady t coach Jennifer Nelson was very istic about the squads chances as returned five starters and seven winners from last years 39-18 club advanced to the semi-finals of the A District II playoffs.

e returnees included hitter Kristi ding--a 1987 first team all district ion, setter Michelle Levin--a 1987 team conference pick, and Pam --an honorable mention allrence pick last year. All three were ing forward to making their senior n a great one.

ey would be helped toward this by the other returning players and talented newcomers.

play started, Coach Nelson felt the could play with anybody. The action for the Lady Bobcats came the 12 team Washburn Invitational.

e Lady Cats won their pool 5-0, and another game to advance to the nd round where they were ousted Doane, whom they had previously ten.

Kristi Olberding made the allrnament team, an honor that she Id accept during the season.

The team moved on to the University f South Dakota tournament where . won the title going 5-0 without ·ng a single game. The team was on a t game win streak and held a 13-1 ord as they feaded to compete in the Nebraska Wesleyan Invitational.

The Lady Cats won their pool 4-0 and went 1-1 in single elimination play getting knocked out by the host Plainswomen.

After the tournament, Lady Bobcat senior hitter Kristie Olberdin was chosen as tournament MVP. beating out other big names like Lori tueckrath of Doane and Jane Verbeck ebraska Wesleyan.

Olberding had just come back from the flu and seemed to be back in top form. She followed this honor by being named NAIA District II player of the week for Sept. 12-17.

With a 18-3 record the Lady Bobcats hit the top 20 for the first time in school history, gaining the number 18 spot.

The team kept their momentum going as they won the Graceland Invitational in Lamoni, IA with a 6-0 record. Olberding and sophomore Kristi Deleew made the all-tournament team.

Next came the Missouri Western Invitational where the team went 4-1. A high point was a victory over Southern Texas, the number two team in the NAIA. It was a big win for the team and for Coach Nelson who had earlier watched her I OOth career victory as Lady Bobcat Coach.

For her efforts in the Missouri Western Invitational, senior Kristi Olberding was named NAIA District II player of the week, for the second time of the season.

The Lady Bobcats were now 31-6 and ranked 16th in the Oct. 11 N AIA top 20 poll. The same day the poll was released, Olberding injured her right ankle in a hitting drill and was forced to sit out the next few games.

Though the team lost the first game they played without her, they won their next and when Olberding returned she helped them with a seven game winning streak as they headed to the Independent League Tournament at Creighton University in Omaha. Here they went 3-1 and broke the school record for victories. The old mark was 39, and this team had 41 wins and 8 losses.

The team vvas now set to host a first round NA!/\ District !I playoff match. They faced Doane. a team with which the\ had spit four previous regular season meetings.

Peru proved to be their own worst

enemies as they committed season high oall handling errors and missed eight serves.

Looking back on the season, the 41-9 Lady Cats won 82% of their games and eight losses came to top 20 teams.

Three Lady Bobcats were named to the All-Independent League team-Michelle Levin, Pam Davis, and Kaylee Michalski.

After the season Davis, Levin and Michelski were honored by the Districts coaches. Davis was named to the 1988 NAIA All-District II volleyball team.

Levin, the PSC career assist leader was named to the honorable mention list of the 1988 N AJA District II volleyball team. Michalski, a junior hitter, was also named to the honorable mention list.

Recently, Coach Nelson announced her resignation as head volleyball coach. She felt she had given much of her life to volleyball and was ready to try something else.

As head coach of the PSC Lady Bobcats she had improved her record each year accumulating a 113-42 mark after three campaigns. This years squad went 41-9 and qualified tor the NAIA District 11 playoffs for the second straight year.

Coach Nelson and the Lady Bobcats deserve much praise for their shining season, their quality play, and their continued improvement of the program.

embarassing display I have ever witnessed. It was obvious that Bundy was a very sick man, but what about people who fanatically --and sadistically-- hold up signs that read "Burn, Bundy, Burn" and "Buckle up, Bundy"? Is this something that these people will proudly tell their grandchildren one day?

We profess to be the most advanced nation in the world, and yet we have people out running around proving otherwise. Let's think about how we go around demanding respect; but how can you receive respect after such a regressive act?

But the right of an individual to smoke still conflicts with the right of an individual to breathe air that is free of tobacco smoke.

The majority of research evidence that I read and hear shows that secondary smoke is clearly harmful to my health.

According to an article published in the January 18, 1989 Chronicle of Higher Education, by Barbara Jacoby, these are a few starting points:

-Institutions need to know who their commuting students are, where they live, when they are on the campus, and what their academic and career goals are.

-Institutions should become aware of the ways in which they a re not hospitable to commuters and correct them. Problems faced by commuters often include inadequate and (for evening students) poorly lighted parking areas, inadequate study and eating facilities, and inconvenient schedules (for example, classes that meet for one hour 4-days a week instead of twice a week for two hours).

centers, recreational facilities, and social activities).

-Commuters should be made to feel that they are a part of the campus community. Their offcampus experiences should be recognized as important, and opportunities should be provided for them to form relationships with faculty and staff members and fellow students.

Non-traditional and commuter students will continue to make up the majority of the student population at many institutions. They deserve much more attention and concern, than they have been getting. The responsibility can not be directed just toward administration and the traditional students, the nontraditional and/or commuter students must also take some responsibility. Two perfect opportunities; run for Student Senate and join other nontraditional and/or commuter students at the Commuter Coffee every Thursday at 11 :00 a.m. at the Student Center.

Bar Cocles l111prove Check-out

The latest improvement in the library at PSC will make checking out materials as easy as buying groceries, according to Paul Kruse, director of learning resources.

The installation of a bar coding system, part of the comprehensive library automation project at PSC. is virtually complete. The system is much like that being used at many supermarkets. Each book has a small square with a series of black lines in it, and an "electronic pencil" reads the code. The pencil is also run over his or her barcoded library ID card, which records information about

The old system of pulling a paper card out of the back of the book to check it out will thus be obsolete.

"One of the best things about it is, we will be able to generate statistics about usage," Kruse said. "We will know what materials are being used heavily, what materials are being requested that we don't have and what materials are not being used extensively."

Tutoring Assistance Available On Camp

by Matt Herbert

Have you ever needed help studying for a class? Did you realize that help is available, and it's free through PSC's Communications Skills Center?

These are two types of tutoring services available through the Communications Skills Center, located in the basement of the Alumni Center.

One type is a writing lab which helps in writing papers. A student can bring a paper in, and someone will read through it and suggest improvements.

The other type of tutoring is when a tutor helps a student study and understand material for a class the student is having trouble with.

PSC has a very unique tutoring system, where the college pays for all of the services. Mr. Dave Phalen, the Director of the Communications Skills Center for the last two years, said PSC is the only college he knows of with free tutoring for students. Anyone qualifies for a tutor for any class

but some upper division classes don't have tutors assigned to them.

If someone needs a tutor for a class with no assigned tutors, they can contact Mr. Fhalen at the Communications Skills Center. He will then find a tutor for that class. Tutoring can be done in the student center, library, dorm rooms or where ever the students feel comfortable.

Mr. Fhalen said that PSC offers free tutoring to benefit the students. Students seeking help often feel more comfortable asking another student, rather than a teacher, questions. Being a tutor is also good experience for teaching majors.

Last year 184 students were tutored, and 121 students used the Writing Lab. These figures were slightly higher than the year before.

According to Dr. Jack Hytrek, associate professor of education, the tutoring system has been here sini::e the early 1970's. It was

HAPPY YD?

Army clearance rack, she/: great."

Valentines Day:

Chocolate candy, red roses, cards, hearts, and of cour-se, love. Love is spread to your boyfriend or girlfriend saying, "!care."

Va right. How many people actually feel this way? It all started in grade school, when you had to pass out Valentine cards to everyone, even the people you hated. Then when you get a card from the cutest guy in the class your heart melts. You dream the card is going to say, "Your special" or "Hey, you're cute," but no, it says "Happy VD." You're already heart broken at the age of six.

When you get older it gets worse. There's always the Valentines dance that everyone has a date for except you. You stand in the corner watching everyone holding hands or making out. Sure, you could dance with that other geek standing in the opposite corner eyeing you through horned rimmed glasses.

Students who are interested in spending the summer in New York Oty (suburbs) are encouraged to contact Linda Warren. in the Placement Office. If you're looking for adventure. intrigue. and travel to the "Big Apple," this is the plan for you.

Isn't it usually that person who struts over with their out dated decade clothes asking, "you want to boogie?"

You try to decline nicely, but that person manages to drag you on the floor making you stumble into other couples. After you gain body control, that person has to have a dance of their own which makes Big Bird look like Fred Astaire.

The song finally ends and only 90 percent of the people are laughing at you, and the other 10 percent have already left. The geek is even embarassed and leaves you standing alone on the floor. Your ex-boyfriend or girlfriend says something like, "Who's she/he?" "I never saw him/her in my whole life."

Even if you did have a boyfriend or girlfriend, it's like Cupid decides to raise hell. He goes crazy and breaks everyone up. Especially two days before the big day! Your boyfriend/girlfriend makes

According to Jodi Hytrek, the committee has had meetings for the last few months dealing with the activities for Black History Month. The theme for the month is "Racism Is A Crying Shame."

Black History Month however. is much more than just attending the activities. "It's not the events in Black History Month that are most important; it is the unity the black students on campus have shown putting this month on." Nate Bradley commented. "This is essentially what Martin Luther King's dream really meant."

Some items stayed the same with renovation. The waynescoat marble, along with a few of the blackboards are some of the things that remained. New adjustments have been made is the carpeting in the classrooms and air conditioning.

Schimmer associates are the general contractors in the renovation. The original contract was estimated at around $ i ,335,000. The project is going to cost on or about the original estimate.

Mr. Bos!ey's final comment on the building is "it will definitely bring in more students." With a new renovated building, students will be checkir>C out the campus more often. He is also pleased with the way the building has turned out.

dent rges All To Celebr e

by Reggie Randolph

During the month of February, Peru State College joins thousands of people in celebrating Black History Month.

There will be many occasions for all to attend. The Minority Awareness Group sponsored a fashion show that turned out to be a success.

They also hosted a speaker, Bertha Calloway, who spoke on "Black Women of the Great Rains."

With many more events happening around our campus of a thousand oaks, we ask that everyone take time out to come and educate themselves about black history.

Some may say why? The answer is that one day we will all have to interact with people of a different race.

We all have to look around and understand each other to get ahead in life so there is no time for ignorance of the mind. The number of minority students at PSC is growing each year and we must learn about different cultures and grow as one.

Reggie Randolph

Peru is a small community where social action speaks louder than words. Those who come from big cities sometimes face culture shock , as well as those from small towns.

A start should come from the administrative offices of PSC, not only will their support encourage students, but others in the state of Nebraska.

This is not just a community project but yet we should try to educate all of Nebraska and celebrate Black Hist- .")ry Month.

Thanks to those people such as, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcom-X. Margaret Mead, Rosa Parks (for not giving up her seat), and the

ah, Cafeteria Etiquette

by Tina Gonzales

The lunchroom is filled with over five-hundred people. People with eyes in the back of their heads. People who make fun of your clothes. People who whisper when you walk by.

So why are you going to the lunchroom? Is it because of the deliciously served food, or the warm atmosphere? No! You go to see everyone stuff food in their mouths, trying to look sexy while doing it.

Its called "Lunchroom Socializing," and everyone and their dog does it. You're the kind of person who panics when you lose your l.D. Card. Come on, you can say, "not me," but, I know a lot of people who go just to meet other people. This is the place to show off that new outfit that you from a person you

You notice the lunchroom roupies because they are the nes who run in at 11 :00 a.m. and who leave sadly at 1 :30 p.m. It's like they are addicted to the place. I'm pretty sure it's not exactly the Health Center/Cont. from page 5 that I must be out of the Health Center for various reasons.

I also provide Nursing Coverage for the Peru Elementary School. I visit the school on Tuesday and Thursday mornings whenever a situation arises which requires my assistance.

J;'riday mornings from 8: 15 to 9:00 or so, I have a Student Services Meeting.

When other situations or meetings arise, I usually leave a

food either.

This is the place where you smile at that special someone only to realize that you have bread crumbs on your face and cheese stuck between your teeth. You never find out until you go back to your room and look in the mirror.

I swear, I have never seen so many people break into a sweat when they can't find their friends. You know them, their the ones who come out with trays in their hands looking clumsily around the room. When they can't find them right away they go back into grab a roll or something. Then they come back out and look again. The process happens so many times that pretty soon the cooks are eyeing the plates stacked on your tray.

Then you have the guys who sit in the back that are so called "scoping the action." Everytime a girl walks in the room score cards are help up.

People usually dress up for the occasion too. At eight 'o clock in the morning you see this person in sweats, bed-head and sheet message at the switchboard and check-in when I return. You may leave a number and name and I will contact you as soon as possible.

If you are in need of a particular health service, please let me know so that these services can be arranged.

For example. allergy irtiections are administered for many students on a consistent basis. Individualized needs such as blood pressure monitoring, diet/nutrition guidance programs, and crisis management follow-ups are

When he arrived at the Campus a Thousand Oaks he felt the pus was so unique and lified, and the environment appropriate, "the bells

were almost a necessity."

striking the slices designated by a j·.[)r. Jerry Gallentine, president

During his search for a carillon for PSC. Dr. Gallentine found the cost to be prohibitive, well in excess of $100,000. But he also discovered that new technology has made it possible to have the pure tones and quality of a carillon at a fraction of the cost.

A chronobell was his answer. When the bells for a carillon are cast they are cast in different sizes and thicknesses. For a chronobell, after the bells have been cast, a slice is cut from each bell and then the slices are lined up in a box. To play the slices a hammer slides a long a track

magnetic tape in controling computer.

The tomes are then amplified. This system allowed PSCto have a solid state circutry along with the quality and tone of an actual carollin.

Dr. Gallentine found that even the price was feasible, only $8,000 to have the chronobell installed. He said the system is checked once a year, and even this is a nominal fee. Dr. Gallentine said the funds for buying. installing and the upkeep of the system are all private monies.

The PSC Education Department omed Mr. Daniel J. Cox as a faculty member at the · ning of the fall semester. , assistant professor of cation, has twelve years of hing experience in public

State's philosophy is ··dent-oriented; we want to do hat is best for the students," ted Cox. PSCs philosophy, as public school experience are ·ve aspects of the education artment, according to Cox. He sighted the college's goal of National uncil for the Accreditation of

Teacher Edcuation ( NCA TE) as another plus.

"I would like to see a full semester of professional classes and a full semester of student teaching," said Cox.

He also sees the need to enhance practicum and to allow students' more contact with teaching.

Cox stated that the education faculty is working together in recommending program changes that will improve teacher education. The most difficult task at PSC, according to Cox, is placement of student teachers because of the many locales of schools.

Cox, who holds a BA and MA in

English, is currently working towards a A1.D. in curriculum instruction at UNL. He is collecting data for a dissertation on a comparison of teaching models.

"My life has revolved around schools for 33 years," stated Cox, who commutes from Shenandoah, JA, where he, his wife Nancy and two sons reside.

According to Cox. The beginning of the year is not Jan. 1, but the first day of school."

SC Approves And Initiates AIDS Poli

by Betty Hecht

PSC joined the ranks of many institutions across the United States this fall when the College Affairs Committee approved a Peru State College AIDS Policy.

Director of Student Affairs, Jerry Joy, said that PSC felt that the time to prepare and adopt a policy was before the need arose.

The PSC AIDS Policy is the result of over years of work. The University of Kansas Medical school was a "big help" in providing references and "a lot of information," according to Joy.

Dr. Steven Stripe, Humboldt, also provided the committee with

Bells/Cont. from Page 7

The chronobell was installed in the Spring of 1986 and, according to Dr. Gallentine. the bells have been well-accepted by the community.

The students at PSC tend to agree with the community.

According to an informal survey taken January 25, 1989, 62 percent of those interviewed erlioy the bells and use them to help keep track of the time, 25 percent erl.ioy the bells but would like them to play different songs at different times, and 12 percent

The policy establishes guidelines to be used in the event a "student, employee or other school contact" contracts Aquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) or AIDS Related Complex CARC).

It also covers anyone diagnosed "as being infected with the HIV virus (SP, Sero Positivity)."

Admission to PSC by students will remain the same as stated in the college catalog. A student with AIDS, ARC or SP "will have the same rights as any other student."

According to Joy. education of the students in preventative did not like the bells.

Some said they did not like the bells because it disturbed them while they were taking tests, studying. or sleeping.

Dr.. Gallentine said the chronobell is not designed to play the modern songs suggested by some of the students, but we do have a good selection of classical and seasonal songs and we can even play the PSC Fight Song. Dr. Gallentine said he felt the chronobell would add a new dimension to the atmosphere of

Ours at PSC. however, possess bonus attribute that has earned re for the college than just

Professionalism shown by our aches, on and off the court (and ) has brought respect to PSC an area that finds many schools

lacking.

Coaches, in general. are spokespersons for the college. They are seen by students, faculty and fans at schools across the conference and beyond.

For many, the only contact made with visiting schools comes through athletic contests. Therefore, the attitudes and actions of the coaches provide the basis for many of these people's views of that school.

Fans tend to base their

judgement of a school on the behavior of the coach. Instead, the actions of the coach are viewed and the next year vvhen the tvvo teams meet, how far the chair got thrown is remembered before performance levels are considered.

Fortunately, this works positively in PSC's favor. While occasionally disagreeing vvith a call of the official and voicing their opinions to keep the game in control, our coaches keep a controlled, positive atmosphere which directly reflects on their teams as a whole.

Our coaches should be commeded on building and maintaining a strong, attractive presence and for representing out school with pride.

With degrees from Anderson (Ind.) College, Kansas State at Emporia and the

University of Missouri at Columbia, Davidson began his career at National College of Kansas Oty, MO. Since that time, his teams have averaged 15 wins per season.

Before coming to PSC. Davidson experience had been with men's teams. He has handled the transition well.

Last year's Lady Cats. 23- 7, established a school record for most victories and advanced to the semi-finals of the District ll playoffs for the first time in the school's history.

Prior to his arrival, Peru State was 4-25. Davidson, though, now ranks as the schools vvinningest women's coach (63-42).

EDITOR'S NOTE

The preceding is the opinion of Miss Trussell and not that of the PED.

"Vet whenever we hold a meeting they are the ones that never show up."

Then pointing to the list of candidates, Trussel noted that "they" (the non-trads and the commuters) were the ones who didn't have any candidates. "We might just have to eliminate these positions."

The candidates for this year's elections are as follows:

For president/vice president, Kelly Tynon/Kim Vrtiska, Mark McGuire/Merry Holliday, Cindy Janssen/Rolinda Saathoff. and Ron Hackbart/ Jodi Hytrek.

Eight offices are up for grabs for Senators-at-large, candidates are Shari Blum, Kris Citrin, Lisa Gellette, Cheryl Gibson, Mike Harling, Tinya Jackson, and Kristi Hanson.

Candidate for the NonTraditional spot is Jill Grancer. There are two spots for the nontraditional office.

There are two open seats for Commuter reps.

Nicholas/Pate requires one office, there are no candidates running for this position as is the same with Davidson/ Palmer.

Delzell Hall sees Jeff Jar,ssen running for that position.

Diane Gress is running for the position in Morgan Hall.

Running for president and vice president is the team of Kelly Con't on pg. 10

This committee screened all the applicants for the vice presidential position and then recommended two candidates to Gallentine for further screening and interviews.

The tvvo candidates recommended were Dr. Judy Kemp, vice president of Valley State University. Valley City, North Dakota and Snyder.

Gallentine said the interviews with the tvvo candidates were extensive. They included tours of the campus, meetings with Gallentine, meetings with the Student Senate, and a faculty reception where questions were asked and answered by all concerned.

After the personal interviews, Gallentine met with the Screening Committee for further discussion and investigation. Then Snyder was offered the position.

Gallentine said the screening and interview process allowed anyone wanting to add input into the selecting process to do so.

The PED wishes to correct information which was given to our reporter on the opening of the T.J. Majors Building. The errors appeared in the story "Ed Building to Open in April" on the front page of the Feb. 1 7 issue.

Dr. Gallentine does not want the building to be called the Education Building because, not only does the Education Division have offices in that building, but so does the Business Division and Mr. Scott Williams, assistant professor of geography.·

Dr. Gallentine would like the building referred to as T.J. Majors Building.

Faculty and staff may be able to move back into the building by summer not by April as originally stated.

The architects were "The Schemmer Associates" and the general contractor was "F & B Constructors."

The General was for$ 1 ,354,000, but tlie entire project was estimated at $2,025,000.

Pedagogian Editors, "The article concerning the Student Senate elections includes the quotation: "it is the non-trads (non-traditional students) that do most of the bitching. Vet whenever we hold a meeting they are the ones that never show up." l did not say this. I am sorry the Pedagogian staff feels the need to print this quotation, especially after l vvas told by the managing editor that it would be stricken. During my interview by Mr. Joe Corney, I made no derogatory statements toward the nontraditional students. Mr. Corney took no notes or tape recordings; therefore, I find it unethical that he uses quotations. My feelings toward non-traditional students are not what is portrayed in this article. ! did express my desire to see more non-traditional students seek Student Senate offices; however, I did not make the comment which Mr. Joe Corney contributed to me. Because this quotation was not removed, and· the misrepresentation of myself by Mr. Corney, l feel that this article demonstrates the extreme unprofessionalism of the Pedagogian staff and sponsor."

Are You Kidding?

by Mike Mc Coy

Would someone say something ! r better yet give me some 1swers.

Though I guess this has been :imewhat of a suppressed Jbject around campus, I thought important to satisfy my inquiries :>ncerning the bill in the State egislature about a change in the ame of our college.

Being the inquisitive journalist 1at I am, I took it upon myself to ort out the entire issue.

Basically the controversy enters around one bill, LB 160. Cearney State College has been

.a 160 leaves a lot of manswered questions and ;oncerns

lushing this bill, and once again, is hring its luck at becoming part of he University of Nebraska.

ILike all proposals. LB 160, has it 6pponents. These opposing 6ositions come in the form of two bills, LB 760 and LB which are currently being 1 eviewed in the State Legislature.

LB 760 proposes that the names of the four state colleges, including Peru. be changed to state universities.

LB 247, however, takes a stand against any such changes in the

riaf g

three institutions (Wayne, Oladron and Peru)?

Will students have less access to UN-Kearney than Kearney State College?

What will be Kearney's role within the N.U. system?

How will demand for graduate programs in rural areas be met?

These unanswered questions attest to a very incomplete bill in the eyes of the opponents of LB 160. The bill in its processing was turned down by both the Nebraska State College Board of Trustees and the Colleges' Council of presidents. This in turn led to LB 760.

It is a "jump on the bandwagon" of sorts, since five of the six states adjoining Nebraska (including South Dakota last month) have passed bills similar to LB 760, changing their state colleges to university status. state college system until a commission can be called to study long-range plans for Nebraska's higher education.

The basic reason the two later bills were introduced was because of dissension over the first bill.

LB 160 leaves a lot of unanswered questions and concerns according to the State College Trustees. the College Council of Presiuents and faculty leaders in the February 12 issue of the Omaha World Herald.

A few of these questions were: If Kearney le.aves the ranks of the state colleges. what will be the political ramifications on the other

This bill is more politically motivated, in my opinion than it is an answer to the problem. It is a on the bandwagon" of sorts, since five of the six states adjoining Nebraska (including South Dakota last month) have passed bills similar to LB 760, changing their state colleges to university status.

It also seems like a proposition to try to keep KSC under the control of the Board of Trustees.

This is probably the most important underlying point of this bill, because if the State College Board nf Trustees loses KSC, it loses nearly two-thirds of its

political clout in the fight financing its needs.

But in the end that's what round-robin of an issue isallabo financing.

Kearney State doesn't r want only the name chan it wants to expand and dra on the resources of th University by being part of

Kearney State, which has put' for a 49% increase in its bud this year, is steadily outgrowi its smaller sister institutions.

Kearney State doesn't rea want only the name change; wants to expand and draw on t resources of the University being a part of it.

LB 760 and LB have very little chance of maki the floor without a little combi over. So. LB 247 will probably taken into consideration. and study will ensue until a reasona amount of questions about t bills have been answered.

At any rate these bills, passedo not. will have a profound effect paving the way for ch9r1'ge in o current state college system.

Today there are no promis · but the true answers lie wit each institution's ability to listen the others in the future.

Otherwise, we are just bi· the hand that feeds us and lets grow. which. in all reality, is own.

Women's History Month is celebrated during the month of March. Why all the attention? I suppose it is because women have frequently been overlooked when documenting history. People can't deny the importance of women in history. but few write about women in text books or biographies.

"Therefore, the only female role models during the most influential periods of our lives (yes, I am talking about school days) are generally mothers, teachers and nurses. However, the women's movement is impacting these areas due to the increasing number of women in the workforce as professionals.

What are the facts? In 1972, only 20 percent of all executive, managerial and administrative jobs were held by women. By 1987. it was 40 percent. Today,

Dina Musil find creative ways to break through that "glass barrier."

Some believe it is to emulate masculine job behavior. But a study conducted in 1 982 indicates that women who chose this method paid a heavy price for the masquerade. More than 50 percent of these where typical executives were unmarried, and almost 66 percent were childless.

By comparison, only 4 percent of the male executives were unmarried and only 3 percent had

no children.

Musil Discusses Discrimination Against arult-g

Subtle sexual harassment occurs. Companies should realize that it is in their best interest to combat subtle sexism, if for no other reason than demographics.

By the year 2000, women, minorities and immigrants will constitute 80 percent of new employees in the workforce.

What complicates instances of subtle discrimination and harassment is that the definition varies from one woman to the next. What might be offensive to one is not to another. For example, a male executive excuses himself for swearing in the presence of a female manager. Some women find swearing objectionable while others don't.

Studies show that leadership styles between men and women may differ. but the effectiveness is virtually the same. Male followers with traditional attitudes toward women can be quite negative in groups with female leaders. Further study indicates that men who have previously been supervised by women tend to be more positive of women managers.

There is no reason to lay bla Women are often their own wo enemy. Women who experien discrimination and choose to nothing. hurt those who want see change. Educating people disparities that exist should develop fair-minded executives and administrate whether they are female or

Someone going up a grade in class is still another reward for Mark.

Need help in anatomy, microbiology or physiology? Scot Schnieder would be a good choice of tutors. This semester Schnieder is helping approximate-

ly six other students. Schnieder feels that tutoring is, "teaching experience; it helps a lot."

However, his greatest reward was when he helped another student last semester. He saw that student go from failing to a "C".

These three are just a few of the tutors here on campus. If you go to the Communications Skills Center, there will be someone you may talk to about getting a tutor. And don't feel like you are bugging the tutors when you ask for help: that's what they are here for.

Schnieder's final comment was, ''It gives you a good feeling when you help somebody else."

Daniel J. Cox, assistant professor of education at PSC, has been appointed to a post with the Conference on English Education CCEE). a group within the National Council of Teachers of English.

He will serve as a member of the CEE Commission on Preparation of English and Language Arts Teachers, according to Diane Allen of NCTE.

Cox will serve on the Subcommittee on Transition to Teaching. This group will develop guidelines on the kinds of education and experience beginning teachers should have, and the kinds of support they need during their first three years of full-time teaching.

The National Council of Teachers of English is a professional organization for teachers and supervisors of English at all levels of education. Its aim is to improve thji! teaching of English and language arts in the nation's schools and colleges.

To sum it up in three words, "where's the condoms?" realize that "where's the condoms," is almost plagarizing Wendy's "where's the beef." but if you think about it really hard you'll realize everyone knows where the beef is. it's the condoms we're worried about.

You see. I can't understand it. Peru State made history by being the first college in the state to install these coin operated dispensers. that before you would only see in the bathrooms of your local 7-11 's.

Our college was even considered as "newsworthy," and the issue was broadcast on the local news for all to see.

Yes, we were finally taking a step out of the dark ages, and walking into a new era of sexual awareness.

Protection. for those who wanted it. was now available where they lived. Those embarrassing trips to the local pharmacy to pick up a "six-pack,"

Changes in PE

To Ped. Staff and Editors, Recently I had returned to for a short visit and found the had undergone some very and different changes

Foremost, the However, I was especially pie with the article written on "Din' Room Ettiquette," by Ti_ Gonzales. I feel this is a fr approach to opening some ve restricted and taboo Peru State College.

While on my visit. several students who were str with much criticism towards article and its author.

This caught me very because. if I remember corre the student body thrived on type of recognition.

congratulate Tina insights and perceptions of State behavioral nature. l'msu took a lot of guts to write and such an article in a comm where a student is not allow even speak up in class. let speak his own mind, without much resistance.

Let it be known that :there

were now over.

But as all good things must end, so it seems ends the legacy of PSC's dispensers of hope! They now hang on there brackets in the baserrisnts of dorms all over carr used only when a person feels that there may chance that it was finally filled. say to. all concerned. it's been a lost cause ! !

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I've just been imagining this. "emptiness." Maybe there's a person or persons on campus hording these prophylactics.

Maybe the demand is so great that the stock boy in charge can't keep up ! ! We must take steps to insure our satisfaction when we drop 50¢ in and turn the handle.

In closing, I'll add this: you. as the student. must correct this problem. I encourage you all to stand up for your rights. and drop a letter to our illustrious administration and express your concerns for this "Problem with Prophylactics."

Thank You.

Eric Rothell

some very intelligent, o minded people at Peru State, lets' call a spade a spade. !tis own personal feeling that Gonzales's article is only being with hostility because it exposes the cafeteria patro what they really are, and their eyes to the blatant tru their behavioral constructs.

Granted, some people do the student center to dine, or friends and colleagues, but latter half is completely co would however, recommend (now that eve has been brought to awareness of themselves) student coalition or researcht is devised to study how m students will actually enter cafeteria without fear of exposed and document res on the number of individuals begin to show slight tremme their self concepts.

Diane Thomas, director of the entrepreneurial office for the Omaha Small Business Netvvork, said that a person "Must have a since•2 drive, a sincere desire" in order to get started in a small business.

Thomas made this remark and others in a talk entitled "Becoming an Entrepreneur," which she gave to a group of about 40 students and faculty. Her talk was held in the Benford Recital Hall on Thursday, Feb. i 6.

In the talk, Thomas said her job involves helping people get started in small businesses. She said that a sincere desire is necessary because of the risks and hardships involved.

She also said that a person seeking help from her office "must

have a good business plan."

That plan should include such items as a description and purpose for the business, as vvell as marketing projections and a statement of mangerial philosophy.

Thomas also noted that a good idea vvon't alvvays guarantee a successful. long-term business. As an example of this, she mentioned Wally Amos, the founder of Famous Amos' Olocolate Olip Cookies.

That business, according to Thomas, grossed more than $10 million in 10 years from 1 975-85. Amos, hovvever, no longer ovvns part of the business, because he vvas not, according to Thomas, a good manager.

Intramurals Good for Body & Mind

by Amy Snyder

arts pound. Palms sweat

1ous feelings enter the ach that haven't been felt for t a year. For 40 minutes ght, bodies are punished and verge on collapse.

e 1989 intramural basketball on is in full swing, reminding y of the thrill of competition any more that a walk across us does not promote high of physical conditioning. begins vvith a pre-game ting of attempted dunks, minute simulation shots and a of talk. For the intramural te, the loss of finely tuned, larly practiced skills is ensated for by imagination. hooks and blocked shots seen in the mind often in air-balls and fouls. But the

spirit lives on.

The pace starts out quick. Fast breaks. steals and layups bring the first sign of fatigue

For awhile it's a pride factor. Each player is confident that he or she must be in better shape than anyone on the floor. To prove this, they are willing to face oxygen debt with a smile. At this point an untied shoe can be used to buy time without appearing obvious.

As half time approaches, all shoes have been double knotted and "air time" is sought with fouls.

The referees do their part to keep things rolling though, and many literally adopt "no blood. no foul" as their motto.

Players must now execute each penalty with as little grace and as much aggression as possible. The uglier the foul, the longer it takes

the opponent to limp off the floor, allowing everyone a nice, long breather.

Thoughts are collected at half time and game plans are revised.

In the second half the guttural grunt is frequently used to attract the referee's attention.

Another sure sight is the dedicated player who volunteers to stay back on defense while his or her teammates break down court to score.

Working the ball around replaces the transition game and watching the clock becomes a habit.

Throughout this struggle. however, a good time is had.

At the end of the game. there is a winner and a loser, but intramurals allow competition and exercise that can be channeled as a stress release for everyone.

For 40 minutes the test tomorrow or the paper due Tuesday can be completely shut out. So while at times the appea ranee of 1 0 people wheezing up and down the court may appear absurd, some good things are happening out there for the body and the mind.

a ed to 11-Academic Team

Free burg Reaches 1000 pt. Plateau

Senior forward Tammy Freeburg scored the 1 ,OOOth point of her PSC basketball career in the Lady Bobcat's 90- 71 loss at Kearney State, Feb. 14.

Freeburg. a native of Plattsmouth, became only the fourth player in school history to reach the plateau.

Other previous 1 ,000 plus scorers include guard Linda Shepard C1 095), guard Connie Viner C1 ,494). a current senior on this year's squad, and center Alice Andersen ( 1, 021 )

Coach Wayne Davidson said Freeburg's accomplishment wasn't diminished by the loss to the Lady Lopers.

We're really pleased to see Tammy reach that milestone in her career," he said. "It's a noteworthy achievement for any player.

Freeburg, averaging 8.0 points per game this season, entered the contest needing just three points. She finished with four on two for five shooting.

The 5-8 Freeburg, a 1 985 graduate of Plattsmouth High School where she was a secondteam Class B All-State selection, needs just 21 points to surpass Andersen as the school's No. 3 career scorer.

Amy Snyder ie Viner, a PSC guard, has named to the 1 989 GTE Vll All-Academic ress release from Vince sports information or, cited Viner, a senior nting/management major

as one of five players named to the academic squad.

According to the release, the five members of the District Vll squad will be placed on the national ballot with studentathletes from the seven other regional Districts. An announce-

ment made on Thur., March 2, will declare the final GTE Academic All-American honors.

PSC Head Coach Wayne

Davidson said, "We're really pleased that Connie has made the first step. It would be fitting if someone who works as hard in the classroom as she does makes the All-American team."

Viner, daugher of Geri Viner of Emerson, IA and a graduate of Nishna Valley High School. has a 3.84 cumulative GPA ona 4.0 scale. She has been on the Dean's list for nine straight semesters.

A four year starter, 5- 7 Viner leads scoring on the season with an average of 14.0 and ranks second all-time with over 1,500 points.

She is a two-time All-District pick and is number two in career assists, third in steals and seventh in rebounds.

Henzel reported that Viner could become only the third female Academic All-American at PSC. and the first in basketball.

She also ranks among career leaders in three other categories, including fourth in assists C182), and fifth in both rebounds (476) and steals (95).

Joan Jett and the Blackhearts have been on an extensive tour of the United States, earlier in '88 as an opening act for Robert Plant and currently headlining their own tour with their hit album Up Your Alley.

Tickets for the Wed. night go on sale March 1 7 for $10.00 a piece. Tickets will be $12.50 the day of the concert.

Student Programs concert chairperson Kim Vrtiska emphasized, "We need a lot of campus support for this concert. If we don't get the support this time, there will be little chance for another."

Vrtiska expects a turnout of around 2,000 for the concert with advertising to draw a regional crowd. "A good turnout will bring bigger bands in the future," stressed Vrtiska.

McCrann. "A typical student's life is just pleasure."

First semester students choose the club they wish to belong to and that club becomes their social life. There are different clubs such as sports clubs, literature clubs, English clubs, and theater clubs. Each club holds a party for newcomers at the beginning of the year. The newcomers are sometimes literally "forced to drink until they die." McCrann reports that "every year, a couple of kids die from intoxication."

Before singing Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, student programs were also looking into signing the Brittish rock ledgend, Bad Company, or the hard rocking group, Winger, who are appearing March 21 and 22 respectively in the Omaha Civic Auditorium.

attend. The name of the college is their "ticket" to employment.

A Japanese college student enrolls in 48 credits per semester according to McCrann. Anyway, they register for that many credits. But, "once you get into college, you don't study anymore," said McCrann.

Professors don't take attendance. Even though their lectures are very good, usually above the comprehension of their students, students simply don't listen and even sleep in class.

Students are given exams at the end of the semester. In order to graduate, the student must take the test. McCrann says teachers are not supposed to fail students. The test is more like a "ceremonial test."

If a student should fail the exam, the professor is required to present another class of lectures and a simpler exam so that the student passes. "Eventually, everyone graduates," said

by Laura Winegardner

"All men are created equal and are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights" and so it goes.

Well, not true at PSC, for we have "trads" and "non-trads".

So often we forsake the wisdom of our founding fathers and set out to assure that we are non-equals; we want to be individuals within whom all i-ights reside. A sort of "hurray for me and to hell with the rest" attitude.

What is respect? How about this definition: "Respect is something you have to give in order to get". So, you see if trads are to get respect they must first give it; and the same for non-trads.

As students, we often place· responsibility of growth and growth opportuni for ourselves upon the faculty administration; is this rea correctly placed? I think not!

Think about this if it were occur. ln 1989, all stude attending Peru State Coll honestly attained the magical many visitations everyone; for it has never done.

Such is the case between our so called "trads vs. non-trads." For some reason or another we feel impelled to make the distinction that one is better than the other-hogwash!

VVhat really is the difference in the case of the so-called subclassification of "trad" and "nontrad''? Would it really create a new

But, isn't that the case in all discrimination? Is black really better than white? Is Olristian really better than Jew? Is townborn really better than farm-born? Is the student really better than the people in whose town his learning institution resides?

If you are a thinking person, and isn't that what higher education is all about, you would have to resolve that all persons are important and should be appreciated. Rather than creating a division that wouldn't hold water, wouldn't it be better if we simply respected each other and worked together for the betterment of all? So how about a

Also, think about this, what is more enduring and important to you than the respect of your peers? Think about it--"nothing".

Certainly it is worth the effort and makes a great deal more sense than animosity over trads vs. non-trads; why not just "students".

Enough of this stuff. let's take the subject a bit deeper. What would "Joint Respect on the Peru Campus" possibly yield?

It would mean instructor respect for students; student respect for instructors; student respect for other students; student respect for commnity citizens; in short, it would set the

But just think reaching this level only for each of us individually for our College as a whole.

Concerning the article that I wrote for the Ped. my intentions were as follows:

Have an article in the paper about the elections before they took place. Provide students with some background on the people that vvere running for the offices of president and vice president.

Since I submitted the article the following has happened.

Miss Trussell. upon hearing that she was going to be quoted, contacted the Ped and demanded

The Ped. at first thought that in order to avoid a controversy. it might be better not to go with the story.

Ultimately, however. it was decided that the story would run as is. It was also decided to give Miss Trussell an opportunity to respond to her alleged quotations.

This in turn was partially responsible for the issue not being published until after the elections had already been held.

Now it is my turn to respond. Let me begin by acknowledging that the issue concerning the nontraditional students is a valid one.

I have had many offers of advice and also some reque. ror interviews from both the nont rad it ion al students and

commuter students. Most have been concerning the idea that perhaps the reason that they don't show up for meetings or run for offices is be ca use the meetings are held from 5:20 to 6:20 on Wednesday afternoons.

It seems to have been overlooked that these students have families. jobs, and other responsibilities that keep them away from campus after the school day is over.

Let me be the first to challenge the "student" Senate with this-since the non-traditional and commuter students make up such a large percentage of the student population that the senate meetings be moved to a time that allows a majority of the students to attend.

Finally, concerning the allegations that you made in your rebuttal, Madam President, let me

Student Senate Gains

Pedagogian Editors:

I have served as sponsor of the Student Senate for several years and have gained a great respect for this group as a result of this affiliation. I therefore am disturbed by the statement which was attributed to Olristie Trussell in your March 6 edition.

The Senate has worked very hard to project a positive image

and to represent all facets of the college community during the current year. This point was emphasized by Cathie English in her article which appeared in the lower corner of page 4.

Cathie's article may not have had the cynical appeal of Joe's front page story, but it presents a much truer picture of the student

The majority of students in my classes carry very heavy work loads. They must carefully plan their time and energy to meet the needs of assignments, home, spouse, family. and job.

The majority of students in my classes want to complete the requirements for a bachelor's degree at PSC as quickly as possible. so they can become wage earners. Many of the students in my classes have worked hard for many years to assist their spouses to complete their educations. or see the family grown and their educations completed. Some of the students

The student who is working to pay his/her own way through college offers a no nonsense approach to his assignments, the time, the energy, and the money needed to get his/her education.

The student who is eager to become a wage earner has his goals set and strives toward them earnestly. The returning student (not non-traditional; I am the nonconforming, non-traditionalist. I am the out-spoken, independent non-traditionals. They are the returning students who will soon make the majority of students, as the number of high school graduates drops over the next few years.) revels in the opportunities at last available to him.

The student who is the first in the family to attend college is aware of the strides being made and the doors opening for the entire family.

The students at PSC who fit into these four groups are the reasons why I have remained at PSC for fourteen years. These students add a dimension of experience and maturity to all the classes I teach.

These are the students I want to work with. Hurrah for the students at PSC !

This long period of time a person unknowingly carries and transmits the virus is the reason AIDS is considered to be at epidemic proportions in the U.S.

The 1989 Football Cheerleading Squad will be selected on April 16, 1989. Clinics will be held on April 2 and 16. Attendance at both clinics is required. Anyone interested in trying-out should see Jodi Peterson at the College Health Center to obtain a schedule of events. These people will also be given a PSC 1 Cheerleader Application Form, Medical Release Form. and a Sports Physical Exam Form. These forms must be completed and turned in when the applicants register on April 2. There will be no exceptions.

Try-outs for next year's Drill Team/Dance Team will be held on April 23. For a schedule of events and more information, see Jodi Peterson at the College Health Center. All interested persons must pick up the required forms which must be completed and turned in when they register on April 23.

HEAVEN--Con't from page 1 Ufe after graduation is another story. Japanese employers don't care what a student majored in during college. A student's employability is based on the status of the university he attended. In Japan, the university in Tokyo holds a status comparable to that of Harvard in the United States.

Employment usually entails a 1 0 year training program which begins with orientation.

McCrann's orientation schedule ran like this: wake up at 5 a .m. and clean the room followed by a two or three mile run, sit on a hardwood floor without showing discomfort for two hours to prove endurance, wade into a cold river to prove loyalty to the company, and finally, spend time in lectures.

"In a way, the four years of college is like a gap. Before, it is severe studying, and afterward, it is severe training," stated McCrann.

by Chris Angel March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. PSC is experiencing this with the ushering in of mid-term exams at the beginning of the month and finishing up with the two words we all love to hear--Spring Break!

I'm sure that each one of us has plans to make spring break a unique and individual experience. Whether you're planning a partyhearty week in Florida, going friends, or spending the time catching up, here are some home to be with family and suggestions to make it completely successful.

Savor each and every moment. Remembe.-. you only have a week. Party it up and have a great time! However, on the serious side, please don't drink and drive. Relax! Need l say more?

ring rea Is Here!!! J IT!

Important to any successful break is the ability to not crack open a book at any time. If you're planning to use this week to catch up on homework, disregard the previous sentence.

Never let yourself get stressed out during this week. You'll do enough of that once school starts again.

Guarantee yourself a day to "veg-out"--watch soaps, eat munchies. and be an overall couch potatoe.

Before you leave for the week, especially if you're going to a hot spot, make sure that everyone knows about it. Envy will be burning in them. You'll make them really ticked off if you come back with a great tan.

Responsibilitv plays a minor role this week. Be foot loose and fancy free, but don't get into too much trouble.

Entertainment is tops on the priority list. Make the bar scene, go to the beach, and scope the opposite sex.

Always make time to do the things you want to do. This is your week to rest, do homework, get wild and crazy, etc.

Keep in mind that this week is your chance to get away from the normal, ordinary, everyday routine. Make it count, because when March 28 rolls around--it's back to the grind !

According to Tanya Rice, Director of the Day Care since July and employed by the Day Care for three years, "you don't have to be associated with the college to send your children here."

According to Schrader, approximately 90 per cent of the children currently enrolled are students' and faculty's children; while approximately 1 0 per cent of the children are from the private business sector.

The Day Care has many educational programs for children.

Another plus for this holiday is that not much money is spent. The only money vvhich is spent is on green beer and buttons that say "Kiss me I'm Irish." It doesn't even matter if you're Irish or not, you still can use these buttons in your best interest.

The loss ended the Lady Bobcats' '88-'89 campaign vvith a 23-9 record, but tied the school record for most vvins in a season and marked the school's highest post-season finish ever.

"We basically ran into a team having an exceptional night of shooting," Davidson said. "the difference in the game though was that they really controlled the rebounding. No one has done that against us all year the vvay they did."

Senior guard Connie Viner and junior forward Carrie Menges were both unanimous choices to the 11-member All-District squad.

"I didn't have any doubts they would both make it," Davidson said of Viner and Menges. "Connie had another good year for us and her accomplishments speak for themselves."

Returning starters include first baseman Tonja Jones, vvho batted .241 as a junior before missing the final 30 games vvith a knee 1niury, second baseman Elaine Ferin, a starting guard on the PSCbasketballteam,andthird baseman Denise Cave.

Brovvn said tvvo freshmen, Brenda Cook and Bridget O'Neil have ear-ned starting spots at shortstop and third base respectively. Cave, has been a three-year regular at third but suffered a broken foot during basketball and "remains questionable for the entire season".

Another player setback by tnJury is shortstop Lynnette Matthevvs. The senior vvho started 35of41 games a year ago, suffered a broken thumb during practice tvvo vveeks ago.

"She vvould definitely play shortstop for us if she vvas healthy," Brovvn said. "The odd thing about her injury vvas she didn't even knovv she did it. She vvoke up the next morning vvith her thumb all svvollen. We're hoping to have her back by the Missouri Southern tourney."

Behind the plate, Brovvn said Deleeuvv vvill get the nod. She rotated betvveen catcher and first base as a freshman, earning honorable-mention All-District honors. Deleeuvv vvas the team's third best hitter, .283, including a team-high 14 extra-base hits.

Her backups, both of vvhom are pushing for starting outfield positions, arejunior Tami Johnson, a utility player, and sophomore Kelly Tynon.

The remaining tvvo outfield spots, centerfield and right, vvill be occupied by freshman Kim Horsham and junior Ann Masters, a 260 hitter. Other candidates include freshman Sharon Wuertz and Matthevvs.

Brown said the Lady Bobcats vvill benefit from the addition of three players off the PSC basketball squad, Ferin, Horsham,

and shortstop Teresa Frye.

"We've had them out only since Wed., but they've looked pretty good," he said. "I've really been impressed vvith the vvay they've hit the ball, for not having seen one in avvhile."

Peru State's first outdoor practice on Wed Brovvn said, vvas helpful.

"We vvent outside for about an hour for the first time," he said. "Mainly, it helped give our outfielders some vvork on routine fly balls. The rest vve've been able to do indoors."

In addition to the Lady Bobcats' obvious pitching provvess. Brovvn anticipates an improved hitting team.

"I think vve'll be a little better hitting team," he said. "Although it's hard to tell at this point vvith several of the players just having joined the team.

"We've hit our ovvn pitchers pretty vvell in practice, but you can get used to doing that after avvhile too."

Brovvn said main team goal is to equal last year's mark.

"Record-vvise, I hope vve can match vvhat vve did last year," he said. "It'll be hard to do vvith our schedule."

Malone Talks

by Cathie English

An audience of students, administrators and local residents were present for Dr. Violet Malone's speech "Positively Addressing Discrimination," held as part of PSC's Women's History Month on March 9 in the Live Oak room of the Student Center.

Malone, professor and specialist in adult education and specialist in agriculture at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, examined selected issues related to women. discrimination and image.

"Discrimination deals with attitudes and feelings that alienate a person from a group; prejudice deals with action and behavior which excludes a person," stated Malone. "Sexism is the action and attitude combined to exclude a person from a group."

Malone explained that America's restructuring from an industrial to an informational society has been a blessing for women in the labor market. The transformation, according to

Malone, has led to "fewer men in the labor market," and "greater independence for \Nomen in our society."

One area of discrimination

Malone pointed out was that 34 percent of households headed by women who were fully employed were at or below the poverty level.

In comparison, only 12 percent of the households headed by men were at this level. "We have increased upper class and increased lower class, but a decreased middle class," said Malone.

She stated that women don't move up into the middle class and that 4 .5 million of the working poor are women who have jobs.

According to Malone, men and women may have the same degree or education, and the same grade point average, but the women will make less salary. She stated that white men get jobs in business. industry, medicine and law; whereas women and blacks tend to getjobs in social services.

While you were makin' it in the shade over Spring Break, the Harper (aka, the Christmas, Barney Baker, the Morbid Mansion) house met its maker.

The building constructed in 1 91 0 out of oak taken from timber where Delzell now stands, was burned to the ground March 28th. The house, owned by Peru State Advancement, Inc. was demolished to make way for a much needed parking lot.

The P.V.F.D. was assisted by several nearby departments. Members from the Nebraska City, Brownville, Auburn, Cooper Nuclear Station, and the Nebraska Fire Service (Ralston) fire departments, were present.

A total of 79 man hours were spent by the Peru Vol. Fire Dept. on the 79 year old structure in preparation and clean-up before and after the burn.

Per·u State President Jerry Gallentine hopes that the vacant premises will be changed into a parking lot, and can service by fall of '89.

The computers to be installed in the residence halls will be available for student use virtually 24 hours each day, seven days per week.

Rans call for the new stations to be tied into the new library automation system at PSC. While there are several computer stations available for student use in the libra1y, they are limited by regular library operating hours.

The new stations should have access to the library automation system around the clock.

"Students will have the ability to determine the research materials they need which are currently available in the library" thanks to the link between residence hall stations and the library, Dr. Gallentine said. "They won't need to wait for the library to open its doors."

"This is a significant step fonNard for students at Peru State College, and should have an immediate and positive impact on their academic preparation," he said.

The Student Scroll of Service award went to Ms. Christie Trussell, and the Student Senate Scholarship was given to Ms. Grancer at the annual Senate Banquet, held Wednesday night (March 29) in Auburn.

Dear Editor, Recently, Phi Beta Lambda had Takako McCrann speak about Japanese Management. She was very informative on Japanese business, their training, and hovv vvomen rate in the Japanese business world.

Takako McCrann gave Phi Beta Lambda

himself, along vvith Galileo and Darvvin, right up to last fall's example of "blasphemy": the film, The Last Temptation of Christ. Whenever someone has the gall to to use language to openly question one of our most basic beliefs, a natural reaction is to fight back in whatever way is possible.

Those who oppose the banning of Rushdie's novel cite freedom of speech as the most fundamental right in a free society. Though it is

What both sides are really fighting about is language. Where the blasphemy camp sees language as a powerful weapon vvhich can undermine what might be really important, the free speech camp sees it as a powerful weapon vvhich can illuminate new vvays of seeing things.

Both sides are right, of course. Words are povverful things, and part of the power of words lies in the fact that they can be used both to illuminate and to obscure.

Rushdie's novel is important beyond any literary merit it may have because it allows us the opportunity to look closely at hovv we vievv language. Are vve cautious of because it has the povver to perhaps unfairly attack the very heart of something vve believe? Or are vve completely confident that language will only lead us to a deeper understanding of the vvorld and our place in it?

Regardless of your answers to these questions. it is important to avoid being carried away in either direction. It is best to remember that the greatest power inherent in vvords lies not in their ability to convey a message at any given moment.

The greatest power of language lies in the fact that the important messages it conveys are remembered, despite all attempts at censorship. while the unimportant messages are soon forgotten. regardless of the noise they make upon their initial presentation.

more difficult to trace the early history of this tradition. it seems clear that the "free-speech" idea must be as old (or probably a fevv minutes older) than the "blasphemy" idea.

The trio took samples from i 6 different sights in the states of ho ma, Texas. Louisiana, sissippi, Alabama. Florida, South and North C.a and Kentucky.

adult flies will be studied for geographic variations.

Each species has a different pattern of spots on its wings. Approximately 250 samples were taken.

The group also encountered a variety of experiences throughout the trip, including a campsite with an alligator nearby, a cookout on the beach, cacti in Texas, Spanish Moss in Florida, and dolphins in the ocean.

Before the trip, Dr. Pappas was afraid someone might get hurt. She said a lot of bad things could have gone wrong that didn't. For example, they had to watch for snakes and ticks, which may carry diseases such as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Dr. Pappas noted however, that "Ellen and Merry were both super campers".

They worked long, hard days with only five to six hours of sleep. Holliday said that they "didn't know the meaning of sleep" throughout the trip.

Other highlights in the trip included feeding raccoons by hand, feeding seagulls. finding seashells, and riding in a glass bottomed boat. According to Kruger, eating at Dr. Pappas' parents home was also a major highlight. Dr. Pappas said "The nice thing about it was, unlike my kids, Merry and Ellen didn't argue with each other".

Although the group has a lot of work ahead of them, including another trip to the Northeast in May, they learned a great deal, had a lot of fun and shared experiences that none of them will forget.

A number of schools were invited, and a few have replied. (Superintendents traditionally attend two long-established teacher fairs at Kearney and UNL. PSC students are invited to both of these fairs). Education majors are encouraged to see the superintendents who do attend PSC's fair to get advice on resumes and help prepare for interviews.

Humanitites majors are in demand in every type of business because of their communication skills. Those majors should see all companies present.

an yen 'Proud' Of Band

by Vicky Smith

After serving as PSC's Director of Bands for one year, Larry Van Oyen is "very proud" of this year's Concert Band.

Van Oyen said. "The band plays very well. very musically, and they are an er\.ioyable group to ·work with."

According to Van Oyen the personality of the band as a whole makes the band work well. He said if a member leaves the band, that member's personality is missed by the whole band, and if a new musician joins the band, that member's personality is quickly accepted as an important part of the group.

Van Oyen credits the personality of the band to the friendliness of the members.

Tom Doran, percussionist for the PSC band for five years, agrees with Van Oyen. Doran says, "The band is very close knit, like a big family."

Doran said this closeness is partially due to Van Oyen's directorship. He has encouraged

each member to be more aware of what everyone else is playing. This helps to produce a better quality of sound.

Van Oyen said not only has the band improved in quality, but it has also grown in size.

Doran said, "Van Oyen has done a lot of recruiting". He also said the students in the band have been active in ecouraging new members to join.

These efforts have resulted in the band almost doubling in size since the beginning of the year.

Some upcoming dates for the band include a Jazz Band clinic on April 8 at PSC. Bands from Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska will be competing.

On April 13 and 14 the Swing Choir directed by Dr. Thomas Ediger, director of choral activities at PSC. will join the Jazz Ensemble for a tour of area Iowa and Missouri high schools.

The Concert Band's spring concert will be held on May 4. Van Oyen hopes the concert will be held outside in downtown Peru.

Art majors and students interested in graphic arts and advertising have their own fair by the name of Meet the Pros which was held in Omaha in March. Nevertheless, printing companies have been invited to attend Peru's fair to supply opportunities.

Nearly all of the armed services will be present to recruit graduates. Several have programs to pay tuition or pay back loans.

Take Me Out To The Ball Game .. Maybe

by Amy Snyder Bats,

balls, gloves, baseball.

Bleachers, dust. bugs baseball fans.

Spring marks the beginning of yet another Bobcat athletic. season. Baseball and softball at PSC are well underway, bringing with them the sacrifice and triumph of varsity competition.

As in other sports, this sense of challenge and excitement attract a group of devoted followers. But it may be said that baseball and softball fans prove themselves to be a little more devoted than others.

The playing field provides a few of the many drawbacks faced by onlookers. The fact that baseball and softball are played outdoors exposes them to many discomforts. The true fan. however, vievvs this as a mere admission fee.

Dust in the face and bugs up the nose tend to bring displeasure to the average human. To the stickball fan, this is like a breath of fresh air. While soaking in this ambiance, the fan marks the area around him by spitting tiny sunflower shells in a nervous, seemingly subconscious manner. With every ounce of energy focused on the field, a loyal fan soon disregards numbness in the sitting end as a sympathy pain for the boys on the bench.

And luxury is found in port-apots with air vents and toilet paper.

Possibly the most st:-essful aspect of the fan's duty is the actual interaction in the game. Though seemingly difficult, keeping tabs on all nine players is quickly mastered. The complication comes in keeping the "Two in blue" in line.

Baseball Program Turns Around

It is very difficult to have a meaningful conversation concerning the rulebook with a referee standing 150 feet from the bleachers trying his hardest to ignore everything but the game.

This makes the devoted fan upset. Unfortunately his actions are limited. By moving closer. he would not only have to abandon his seat, but he would dravv attention to himself. Not wanting to distract his team. the fan humbly remains seated, raises his voice two levels past screaming and enjoys the rest of the game.

The life of a baseball/softball fan is obviously not a glamorous one. But like other sports, community and school support play an irreplaceable role in the spirit of the contest. So pack up your stadium seat. your bug spray and maybe your toilet paper, and get out there and scream.

Team Shows

PSC softball coach Larry Brown isn't discouraged by his team's 1-3 start in the Missouri Southern ProAm lnviationall in Joplin, MO, the last weekend in March.

"Having talked with the girls afterwards, they felt like they're playing better than at the same time a year ago. I think we should have won a couple more games, but l think we could have with more games under our belt," Brown said.

Nine Earn Letter

Peru State College worn basketball coach Wayne Davi has announced nine players varsity letterwinners for 1988-89 season and additional provisional winners.

Four seniors, Connie Vi Denise Cave, Kristi Olberding Tammy Freeburg, all rec· their fourth letter at PSC in many years.

Coach Wyczawski intently prepares for the next game.

Paul Wyczavvski modestly .says he isn't anything close to being a coaching legend. But March 24 he moved ahead of one of PSC's alltime greats--AI Wheeler.

Wyczavvski, the Bobcats fourth year mentor, became the vvinningest baseball coach in schooi history thanks to Peru State's 9-1 victory over Northwestern College in the first game of a double header at the Auburn Legion Field.

"It's really nicE: for me, but !think more so for the players," said 'Wyczavvski. "I think it's a tribute to the kids who have performed so \J\/ell here over the past couple of years and the things they've accomplished. Records are good to have, butthey're no betterthan any of the teams you field."

Wheeler. known more for his accomplishments as a football and

basketball coach, headed the PSC baseball program from 1958-65, compiling a 75-65 mark. His best squad, the '62 Bobcats, were 15-7 overall, claimed the Nebraska College Conference title with an 82 mark, and defeated the likes of Creighton University and Northwest Missouri State.

The Lady Bobcats, who had tvvo double headers postponed by cold vveather, opened vvith a 6-3 loss to Wartburg (IA) College, which rallied four runs in the top of the seventh inning. Peru State also lost to the host Lady Lions 6-2, and to Tarkio CMO) College, 4-2.

"Overall, it was amazing to see the improvement we made from our first game to the fourth one," Brown said. "You take into account the lack of games vve had going in, and l think you'll see things get better and better."

"She (O'Neil) hit a shot off Diane Sederberg (Tarkio) as ha. as anybody probably has· awhile," Brown said. "Theirte· speed in the outfield kept herfr: getting a triple or home run."

Going into the '89 campaign, Wyczawski ranked second in career victories with 68. He has guided the Bobcats to an unprecedented NAIA District appearances.

"I also think it's nice in respect that we've more or less turned the program around," he said. "It's always had the capability, but never quite got there."

Since the departure of Wheeler and the arrival of Wyczawski, the Bobcats have gone 163-276-2 overall.

Brown may have found a pair of promising young hitters over the weekend in freshmen Bridget O'Neil and Kim Horsham. "We've got some hitters on this team, and we didn't strikeout very often. Bridget and Kim go out and attack it. l was very pleased with their performances. If ·we can get our other big guns going, I think we'll be in good shape offensively," he commented.

The PSC ''Grass''

by Mike McCoy

Yes, it's Spring 89' at PSC friends, and vve've found ourselves at the mercy of the registrar and admission offices. No, they don't vvant our money (not to say that vvon't change next fall). It's their time to taketh from the said student body to add to the said student body.

Novv, I don't knovv about you, but it's been my undeclared right to cut across the grass to get to class vvhen I vvas late. And I have exercised this right pretty freely until last vveek, vvhen I sank to my

knees in mud only to be greeted by the vvords "do not vvalk on the grass" and a shovver by a sprinkler.

These people hadn't complained about my habit all vvinter; vvhy did they start novv? One, because it's spring; tvvo, spring brings green to the Campus of a Thousand Oaks; and three, green sells, at least they believe it does.

I live at the Complex, and believe me, like anyvvhere else on campus, parking stinks. Well. about tvvo vveeks ago, I moved my car from the church parking lot, vvhere I normally park, to park

vvhat seems like a half-mile jog avvay in the cement lot vvest of the Complex. This move vvas brought on so my vehicle vvould not sustain paint spatterings from the painting of the vvater tovver.

This did not bother me until I found my parking lot used by student programs as a lot for visitors at the Joan Jett concert. This and the concert vvas again an obvious ploy by the admission and registrar offices, though not as direct, to get prospective students here to see our lovely green campus.

These aren't the only gimmicks that the registrar and admission office use, and most of them are

not this technically involved. Uk little ad campaign the mu department put together vveek off-campus for the scho

Novv, I never claimed to be advertising consultant, but t PSC Svving Choir/Jazz Ensem Tour vvhich I vvas concluded as a big success as f as our concerned recruiting value. Really, it's t only vvay to expose our progr as vve toured three high scho and one mall in the K.C., MOar

This trip, I'll admit, couldn't ha been cheap and a little of th "PSC Green" vvas spent to fina this excursion to the south. But it all vvorks out right, th admission and registrar offic vvill get back that green and mo vvith another record enrollmen And to be quite honest, together I think they vvill.

Novv, I guess that it all sense vvhen I think back to th day in the mud vvhen I got up aft falling and kicked that "do vvalk on the grass" sign ov Because on the other side to surprise read the vvords, "gr sells so put this sign back thanx, the admission and registra offices."

College Education Provides Personal Growth

the proposition that college education provides the stimulus for personal grovvth.

by Spencer Davis

The end of the academic year vvill soon be here, and that is a good time for all of us to examine vvhat the year has meant.

Of the many questions-personal, social, financial, academic--that could be posed, I suggest that the least examined question is "What is the Purpose of College?"

Better yet, the question might be put as follovvs: "What kind of education is it that college provides best?"

Through the centuries, three general ansvvers have been given.

One ansvver is that college provides specific job training especially in the scientific, managerial. and professional areas.

The second ansvver is that a college education provides, indirectly, initiation into the style, manners, social outlook and perhaps style of thought of affluent groups.

The third ansvver is that college provides the stimulus for persons to examine their beliefs and principles in order to develop both in character and intellect.

Clearly these ansvvers are very different, but they share in common the fact that they are all highly debatable.

Critics can, and have, blovvn holes in all of them Put another vvay, each is true in part.

The one vvhich is most in danger of disappearing, not because it is refuted, but because it is ignored,

It is the responsibility of all colleges to provide that stimulus vvith a vJide-ranging curriculum; a faculty vvith diverse interests, attitudes, and backgrounds; a respectable library; film series; and guest lecturers and speakers.

It is equally the responsibility of college students to seize these opportunities. It is vvorth remarking that if classic films are vievved only by the campus projectionist and guest speakers address deserted rooms, you are short-changing yourselves and betraying the hopes of family, friends, and tax-payers alike.

If this is liberal education, make the most of it.

Listed belovv are the top ten lines that students love to use and teachers are tired of hearing.

1 Are vve doing important in class today?

2. Can vve meet for only half and hour today?

3. Can vve have class outside?

4. It's too hot to have class.

5. Essay tests aren't fair.

6. You didn't give us the ansvver in class.

7. Will this be on the test?

8. My dog ate my term paper. :

9. I had to park in faculty parking.

10. I have to go home early. These top ten lines are compliments of Dr. Spencer Davis.

The preceding schedule may sound all too familiar to collegiate athletes. A great deal of attention has been focused on ho\N collegiate athletics affect the academic performances of participants.

PSC has a number of students \Nho participate in varsity sports. Ho\N does this affect their academic life?

Kaylee Michalski, a junior psychology-sociology major. chose to attend PSC because she kne\N she could participate in varsity volleyball.

"I love it," she stated. "I try to keep a balance \Nith sports, school and job." When asked \Nhether she thought schools emphasized a th le tics over academics.

Michalski, a member of the GTE Academic All-American team, said, "!think there isa trend \Nhere people are trying to study harder, because they \Nant to be successful \Nhen they get out of college."

Jennifer Nelson, the Lady

Dr. Davidson and Connie Viner

Bobcat volleyball coach this past season, said academics \Nere very important and that she tried to recruit players that do \Nell academically.

Another year, another fitness program do\Nn the tubes. With only finals \Neek remaining, I've pretty much abandoned the idea of greeting summer \Nith a perfectly toned bod.

My intentions \Nere good; don't get me \Nrong. In August, I could see myself running.lifting and s\Nimming my \Nay into perfect shape. With the PSC facilities at my fingertips, I kne\N that I couldn't go \Nrong.

My plan \Nas to build up gradually. I convinced myself not to rush into it since I had the length of the school year to accomplish my goal.

But as the first \Neek of classes came and \Nent, I decided that I should focus initially on school \Nork and build into a fitness plan \Nhen the time \Nas right. This attitude August carried me from late to early December, \Nithout so much as a t\Ninge of guilt. After all, every ounce of my energy \Nas being channeled into my education. (Okay, maybe not every ounce, but a quality excuse such as this demands a little over exaggeration).

As December \Nore on,

come first."

Another GTE Academic AllAmerican, Connie Viner, said that her education came first because, "That's \Nhat I'm here for."

Viner, a varsity basketball player, senior accounting major and full-time mother, has al\Nays enjoyed basketball and sports. "It takes a lot of time," she said, "but you have to balance it."

Dr. Wayne Davidson, \Nomen's basketball coach, said his philosophy is that "\Ne have educational athletes our athletes are expected to be student athletes and not just athletes."

He said that academics is the most important consideration to the \NOmen's basketball program.

"In the final analysis, the academic success the things they accomplish in the classroom and the learning that takes place is most important to the studentathlete later on."

Nelson believes it helps students to get involved in other activities. "Time management is a problem," she said, Extracurricular activities force students to manage their time." She said that the student's ability to manage time affects not only their performance in academic life but also their performance on the --··....+.

II In The Mind

ho\Never, my flabbiness began to tear at my conscience. Why hadn't I been exercising? The fall \Neather had provided the ideal conditions. Not too hot or too cold or too \Nindy. But instead I had persuaded myself into believing that Gilligan's Island reruns \Nere better for my mind than running \Nas for my body. So then it \Nas Decemeber and it \Nas too cold, and I decided that I \NOuldn't be able to exert myself over Christmas break any\Nay. But I looked for\Nard to spring, and I made a list of things to do everyday: run and lift on Tuesday and Thursday, and S\Nim Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

This list allo\Ned me to go into break \Nith a clear conscience and an open mouth.

Returning to school in January, I looked for\Nard to my spring routine. I told myself that \Nhile the price of less quality TV time \Nould undoubtedly be paid, the re\Nard \NOuld more than compensate. I chose to ignore the fact that absence from physical activity for six months usually results in a level of discomfort often referred to as pain.

After t\NO days of jogging, my

\Norkouts \Nere replaced by \Nhirlpools.

Sitting in a tub of S\Nirling \Nater gave me time to realize that the perfect season for exercise is actually summer. With no classes or home\Nork, I can devote myself more effectively and face the pain \Nith grace.

So starting May 15, I'll hit the road and face the pool and lift the \Neights.

But I \NOnder \Nhen Gilligan comes on at home? Maybe I can record it. Or maybe I can just run in place in front of the TV. Or maybe I'll just \Nait until next fall.

Ho\N much emphasis do you feel is placed on the intercollegiate sports program here at Peru State College? Go

Last Thursday, during convo ver and lunch hour, 100 people at the e student center \Nere asked for their opinions on the program at PSC.

Out of those responding almost t\Nice as many felt that there was not enough emphasis placed on the sports program as compared to those \Nho felt that there was too much. This included everything from concerns about the sports offered, attendance of sport events, funding, and even the staff available.

When asked about PSC and the athletic department's major emphasis, Coach Tom Shea, the director responded, "I hope we're not shifting our emphasis to one sport. I think that if \Ne do shiftto one sport, as an athletic department \Ne'll self-destruct.· What I mean by that is \Ne are too small and \Ne cater to too many students that initially come to Peru \Nith athletics in the front of their minds and then they get into the academic end of it. To not offer them some opportunities \Nell. " "The reason the sports were dropped before I became athletic director here \Nas we had taken some drastic financial cutbacks. As a result of that only got x amount of dollars to deal \Nith and you've got to use those dollars to best benefit these kids."

Peru offers football and volleyball in the fall, men's and \NOmen's basketball in the winter and baseball and softball in th spring.

Why is it that you have people come up to you that you barely know? They stagger their way over to you and say, "This year was great, I'm glad I got to know you." Vea, its like I never saw you in my whole life.

Then what about the people you hated the whole year? All of a sudden you're the best of friencls.

You start reminicing about bad times. "Remember when I bitched you out in the lunch room?" They reply, "Yea, remember at the dance when I shoved you into the speakers?" Ha. Ha

It usually works out that the new love of your life lives four hours away and doesn't own a car or a telephone !

The thing that really bugs the hell out of me is when the personals for the PED are due a week before the paper comes out. You write a sweet good-bye note to the person you're seeing, then, when the paper comes out, you've broken up and are now seeing someone else and you could just kick yourself. Hey it happens.

Saying good-bye is hard to do but can also be a lot of fun before the final words are uttered.

The countdown is on one week from tomorrow the big "G" day.

Graduation! However seniors, just a little friendly advice: Don't have too much of a pre-graduation party, because it will be rise and shine early on May 13. The ceremony will take place at 10:30 a.m. to beat the heat. Let's just hope that you don't decide to oversleep.

Even though I'm not ready for graduation, here are a few things that I feel it stands for.

Getting that diploma that you've worked so hard for.

Remembering all of the good times that you had during your

undergraduate years.

Accomplishing a goal that may have felt out of reach at times.

Displaying your diploma and feeling proud of yourself.

Unusual things that happened that you'll never forget.

Achieving an important milestone in your life.

Trying to get used to your new title "Graduate."

Interviewing for that all-time important job.

Options that you will have to weigh to make the right decisions for you.

Never forgetting your college career, lasting friendships, and the time you spent at PSC.

Congratulations!

"The production of plays, the study of produced plays, and the study of producing plays consititutes the discipline of theatre." So states the guidelines of the Association for Theatre in Higher Education.

I'm not a theatre major; it doesn't affect me!

Doesn't it? Maybe it should.

Much of what we know of the people of the past comes from the various plays that have survived the passage of time.

The actors can "hold" for your laughter so that you won't miss the next lines as you often do in the recorded media; or, with ,your willing suspension of disbelief, an emotional/empathetic bond may be established so that you actually feel a part of the onstage happenings. You may even respond to the intellectual stimulus presented in a play.

It has been known to happen; but plays are for pure enjoyment also. Plays are written to be performed before an audience, to entertain (Latin: tenere-to hold) you and to hold your attention in a variety of ways. Plays attempt to simulate your interest in life, past and present., through the various mediums of comedy, drama, music, farce, melodrama and tragedy.

What I§ f7uinf! ()n?

by Matt Herbert

·ue Nhen began the year as a ishman here at PSC, I planned to ·ou :3y for a majority of weekends. I :he Jct heard from a few people that ;es1c was a "Suitcase College".

mt ':aning that everyone goes es;rne for the weekend. But even he th these warnings, I wasn't ipared for that first weekend.

>n. !he weekend began, as it he does, with Friday. lnjust a \w scant hours, I watched the :mpus die into its dismal (iekend atmosphere. Through'Jt the day. I watched people 1rry luggage, food. stereos, and of course dirty clothes

1k. cars.

1is )!he groups of people usually in front of the Fine Arts

1e and Student Center

1e to have disappeared. The

{)rking lots had emptied, leaving e; few lonely cars. I sat in my t; </,:om and listened to the silence

:l:at surrounded me.

lMostof the people I had gotten that first week had gone leaving me here with a

bunch of people i had never met.

At supper. the full extent of a PSC weekend hit me. The cafeteria, usually full throughout the week, contained about a dozen people. I spent the remainder of that weekend wondering what was going on at home.

As the year progressed, I got to know more and more of the people who stay on weekends.

The weekends became more exciting, and I learned that they aren't that bad after all.

I distinctly remember going to a party Homecoming weekend and meeting many new people, although because of various circumstances I may not have learned their correct names.

Many memories come to mind when I think of Peru weekends.

1 still don't consider a PSC weekend to be the most exotic in the world. But it does its good times.

•

So now, when .J go home for,a weekend, I find that occasionally I wonder what is going on back at PSC.

It's my understanding that there's a possibility that The Harper & Row Reader. by Wayne C. Booth and Marshall W. Gregory, may be replaced with a lesser text. In my opinion, such a replacement is preposterous.

Absolutely, incontrovertibly. absolutely, incontrovertible, incomprehesibly preposterous! Where could such an idea come from?

incomprehensibly preposterous ! Where could such an idea come from?

An excerpt from The Harper & Row Reader 1titled, WhyChildren Don't Like To Read, may throw light on the subject. What the excerpt basically says, is that in recent years, the content of the material presented in elementary school has diminished and that this diminution effects the student later on in his academic career. Armed with this knowledge, the source of this attitude toward The Harper & Row Reader seems a far cry from mystery.

Another thing that seems a far cry from mystery is the inherent benefits of The Harper & Row Reader. Not only does it provide the reader with the thought provoking ideas of the world's most profound thinkers; it also serves as a foundation for other knowledge to build on.

In regard to the first consideration, The Harper & Row Reader provides ideas. The essence of English 101 is to teach the student to express an idea in

writing; ergo, the better the idea, the better the expression of it must be. I see little to be gained by writing papers about See Spot Run. As for the latter, the idea that The Harper & Row Reader is a foundation for other knowledge, think about what it contains.

You will find that it has not only excerpts that exemplify arguments about universal issues, but that it is packed with peripheral prizes as well: Little flakes of philosophy, small sights of Sociology, hundreds of hints of history.

In conclusion, I wish to express what I feel will be the most detrimental effect of dumping "The Harper & Row Reader."

In conclusion, I wish to express what I feel will be the most detrimental effect of dumping The Harper & Row

To convey this feeling, I wish to build on a p·necept of the philosophy of Plato (who by the way, is also in The Harper & Row Reader). This particular precept held that a student should be shown the light of thought, and from that point, decide whether or not to pursue that light.

It's my opinion that the replacement of The Harper & Row Reader with a lesser volume will be equivalent to the closing of the aperture through which the light of thought proceeds.

Obviously, there can be no pursuit if there isn't a beacon to guide it. The Harper & Row Reader is such a light. Don't allow it to be extinouished !

The National Science Founda-· tion has a\Narded a $28,226 grant to Peru State College to allo\N eight PSC students to conduct scientific research, according to Dr. Larry Pappas, professor of biology.

The a\Nard, PSC's second major NSF grant in a year, follovving a $75.492 a\Nard received last year, \Nill allo\N the students to conduct research on insects in the mid\Nest, examining how and \Nhy they vary from one geographic location to another.

Seven of the eight student researchers have been ·selected, including one--Andrea Bro\Nn of Auburn High School--\Nho \Nill not enroll at PSC until next falL The NSF and Dr. Pappas are interested to see hovv a student as young as Miss Brovvn performs \Nith her research project

In fact, Dr. Pappas emphasized, the makeup of the undergraduate students vvas a major factor in gaining the NSF grant. Three others already selectep are categoried as older, or "nontraditional" students whose rural southeast Nebraska background

Dr. Larry Pappas vvould not normally allovv them to conduct scientific research.

.The NSF took that into account vvhen avvarding PSCthe grant. Dr. Pappas explained. Usually, less than a-fourth of the over 600 grant applications received by the NSF are funded.

Current PSC students selected for the project include Betty Bricker, a junior biology and Cnerr fTldJUf; \-l Ir I!::> rldU:::>:::>H:::1 a

]Linior biology and chemistry major; Davin Holman, a senior pre-

medicine major; Ellen Kruger, a junior pre-pharmacy major; Courtney Lamberson, a senior biological science major; and Catherine Matthevvs, a sophomore pre-physical therapy major. One more PSC student vvill be selected. Dr. Pappas added.

Sixteen thousand dollars of the grant vvill provide each of the student researchers with a $2,000 stipend to conduct the research projects. Part of the funds will pay for their travel expenses this summer when they collect insect samples, covering a range from Illinois to Wyoming and from Kansas to North Dakota.

Part of the grant will also allo\N each student to visit cooperating research experts around the country vvho vvill assist them with their projects. Funds are also earmarked to bring each of the experts to Peru State College campus to vvork \Nith the students, Dr. Pappas noted.

Co operating re searchers include Dr. Willis W. Wirth of the

u .;;,. I\lai::1ona1 Museum in Washington, D.C. and a 1938 PSC graduate; Dr. Quentin Wheeler of

u

Cornell University in lth2 ca. NY; Dr. Wayne Kramer with the Nebraska Department of Health; Dr. James Woolley of Texas A & M University; Dr. William Black of Kansas State University; Dr. Ralph Hovvard with the US Department of Agriculture; and Dr. Alex Polumenopoulos of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Each student will do a separate research project. Dr. pappas said. in fact, the six current PSC students already selected helped to prepare the grant proposal. a highly technical process that Dr. Pappas feels also had a hand in influencing the National Science Foundation to fund the grant.

After the students compile their samples this summer, they will analyze the results of their tests and prepare articles for submission to professional journals.

Dr. Pappas will be cissisted in coordinating the project by Dr. Carat Pappas, assistant professor of natural science at PSC, who was herself primarily responsible for securing the $ 75,000 National Science Foundation grant last year.

f7r-ads Advise Teachers

by Betty Hecht

Have you noticed the dazed look on some of the students around campus lately? They're finding it hard to believe that the semester is almost over and that they're really going to graduate. Well, for all you graduates vvho are going into teaching, here's

how some former PSC graduates found the real vvorld.

Julie Strathman is a 1983 graduate. She teaches fifth and sixth grade at Bern Elementaryin Kern, KS.

Geri Hunzeker is a 1987 graduate and teaches special education at Hiawatha Element· ary in Hiavvatha, KS.

Jeanette Chamberlain is a 1988 graduate, vvho teaches English and speech at Hiavvatha High School.

Although Strathman finds teaching to be a "lot of hard work," she said, "I encourage students to enter the field," because teaching is personally satisfying.

Hunzeker and Chamberlain agree, and both said they love vvhat they're doing.

According to Hunzeker, however, "You've got t genuinely like kids, or you'll nev make it as a teacher.

And thought by saying that teache need to remember that "studen are not an interruption of yo work; they are the reason fori

Along with the satisfaction three get from working students. they report there also frustrations with the job.

"Teaching is not a nine-t job," according to 01amber requires many preparation, and of course, are alvvays papers to grade.

"But you realize that Charlotte's their Web is make-believe?" I looked into will his light blue eyes. They were tests bright with the joy of discovery. for sional ;sisted Dr.

Yes, indeed. The conversation with my son reminded me of the very beginnings of my own love for make-believe books. When I was his age I read about Madeline, Homer Price, and Harrietthe spy. I survived the summers in small town Nebraska by solving mysteries with Nancy Drew. My favorite mystery was The Clue in Crumbling Wall. I've never forgotten the heartrendering Where the Red Fern Grows. Fiction was a part ofmy life, and I knew it would become a part of my son's life, too.

Since he was a little over a year old, together, my son and I have traveled to where the wild things are and the town of Chewandswallow. We've lived in a giant peach and ruled over Terabithia. We've picked blueberries with Sal; we outfoxed the fox with Dr. DeSoto. We've had terrible, horrible, no good, very bad days with Alexander, who used to be rich last Sunday. And, we hoped we'd never find a game like

We have cried, shookwith fright, solved mysteries, fought against the bad guys, and above all, we have laughed. Laughter means happy people. Happy people means good book.

"It's the truth, Mom." He looked at me with those serious blue eyes.

"What is. John?" I smiled.

"Charlotte's Web is a good book."

"Why?" observed my son stopping to consider the question.

"Well, Charlotte died to save Wilbur's life."

Charlotte A. Cavatica laid down her life for a friend. She loved Wilbur.

And Wilbur loved Charlotte. E.B. White writes: "Wilburneverforgot Charlotte. Although he loved her children and grandchildren dearly. none of the new spiders ever quite took her place in his heart. She was in a class by herself. It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer. Charlotte was both."

TEACHERS CON'T FROM PG 1

Another challenge the three encounter is working with administration. and they expressed a wish for a class that teaches the art of dealing with administration.

From the position of being teachers, they offer a little advice to the novice. Chamberlain suggests that any teacher with a signed contract should get all the texts and materials for his/her classes as soon as possible and begin preparing lessons. "One week is not long enough to prepare for a year of school," she said.

As for being a good teacher. Hunzeker said, "It's the real world. lf's a lot of gut instinct and intuition. It's what you think is right at the moment."

And for all those graduates that don't have a contract yet, Strathman says not to give up. "Be flexible when you enter the job market. Keep your eyes set on your goal," she advises.

Finally. the advise first-year teachers not to set their expectations of themselves to high. "We think that we have to be a super teacher,"said Chamberlain, Instead, they suggest the novice teacher needs to relax and do his/her job. Everything will fall into place in time.

and don't care if they get an education."

But according to new NAIA J (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletes) rules, in the fall of 1989 an incoming freshman must meet two of the three following criteria to be l eligible to participate; A score of 1 15 on the ACT, a 2.o GPA, or be in l the upper half of their class.

To maintain academic eligibility they must be enrolled in at least 12 hours. Anything below that and the player will be immediately dropped. After the first season of play they must have completed 24 hours of degree credits towards either a general education degree or a major. After the second season they must have completed 48 hours with a 2.0 or higher. After the third season 72 hours with a 2.0. All their credits must now be applicable towards their degree program.

Concerning publicity and advertising, Coach Shea commented that the staff was working with different ways to create more publicity in the surrounding communities and help to see an increase in this in the upcoming year.

As for the weight room "lt's the Pits!" "Other than the Computer labs and the library its the most widely used facility. It's not only used by the football players but a wide variety of the student population. We need a new facility. We need a new area. We've got the proposals and the bids to try to upgrade it. We'll upgrade it as the finances become available."

Congratulations to the GTE Academic

They are the leaders of the team. But what makes them even more special is their outstanding academic records. They are the GTE Academic All-Americans, selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) for

being high achievers- in the game as well as the classroom. GTE is proud to be the official sponsor of this 37-year-old program and congratulates these studentathletes on their Academic All-American achievements.

THE POWER IS ON

by Vicky Smith

:ording to O\Night

Garman,

2ctor of Financial Aid, PSC is ;hing academic activities.

ie said, "this is shown by the ;tribution of scholarships ·arded to students."

3arman and his secretary

;igy Groff said, "most of the ademic scholarships 1arded throught the are Peru hievement Foundation. Other "lolarships are awai:::ded to tering freshman for recruiting 1rposes." Groff said, "These "lolarships are given to students tering all areas of study."

She said, "The rest of the "lolarships are given to students tering all areas of study."

Garman said, "it is hard to say exactly how much money goes to each individual activity because many of the scholarships overlap into one or more areas. For example, a scholarship could be donated to a good science student who is also a good athlete."

He said, "approximate amounts would be $50,000 to $60,000 is given for athletic scholarships, $40,000 for art, drama. and music scholarships, and $200,000 for academic scholarships."

According to Jerry Joy, Dean of Student Affairs, "this push towards academics continues through the dispersment of the State Operational funds as well. These funds are given to each state college to pay for operating , expenses."

science, computers, humanities and library equipment. Approximately $ 149 ,350 is spent on extracurricular activities." These include health services; intramural W4c

Another concern voiced by the students was the need for a black coach or staff member. According to Shea there were two openings in the athletic department this year. Peru advertised in national publications and trade magazines. "There were 14candidatesforthe volleyball coach position and about 70 for the assistant football coach position. Not one of those that responded was black. It really is a problem. I don't know how to overcome it."

Overall Shea feels that "the people here do a good job with what they have. They don't have a lot of material things to work with here. Our people, the coaches and the players,justdoan outstanding job. The dollars just aren't there. You just put in a lot of hours and do the best job you can and hope things work out for themselves.
