Is .First · Undergraduate to Win Prestigious 'Young Investigator Award' E;llen Kruger wasn't even supposed to be eligible for the competition, much less win it. But the Peru State College senior c;:ime away as corecipient of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene's "Yo.un1;J ·Investigator Award" anyway.

U.S. The selection committee "was very impressed with the· quality of (Kruger's) work, and doubly impressed when they • found it was done by. an undergraduate student," Dr. ·Long said.

Kruger and.Dr. Carol Pappas. associate professor of natural science at PSC, attended thE: ASTMH's annual meeting last month in Honolulu, Hawaii. ·Kruger's research project involving the Asian Tiger . Mosquito had been submitted for the group's "Young Investigator Award." Entryrequifemehts h::!d to be waived, however, since only graduate-level students or post-doctoral scientists were supposed to have been eligible. No undergraduate student had ever before won the award -- until Kruger came along. She, along with Dr. Misha Pless of the Center for Disease Control, were judged co-winners by the five member selection panel.

The Widmayer & Associates report, published in November, recommended total reorganization of higher education in Nebraska, with separate governing boards for each of the three campuses of the University of Nebraska and the four state colleg~s. The report also recommended a "new" Board of Regents that ·would have "certain limited authority and coordinating responsibilities for the seven public senior insitutions." The new board would include "six members to be elected from the respective congressional districts, and five members to be apponted by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate."

IS PSC Unsafe?

'.'Word-Of•Mouth" Maybe Bigger Threat bY Caitlin.R. l.Opez Do we need more guards _bn campus, or guards on students'

something ta be· cautious about, but I'm afraid that: some people blew this out of proportion.

mouths? This is a serious· question that should be contended with by all involved with PSC. Is Peru really that dangerous, or is it the "word-of-mouth" that's really the prob)em? PSC contracts United Security Incorporated of Omaha for "the sole purpose of protecting us. A security guard walks the grounds between 5 p.m. and 2 a.m. every night. He secures all locks on buildings, keeps an eye out far a·ny misdoings, and tries to ensure that students walking to and from buildings in the dark, are safe. Can one guard ensure safety for everyone across the whole campus?

A result of this concern for the safety of PSC's female population was a crash course in the fine art of defending oneself against prospective attackers.

Ron Fabry, supervisor of building and grounds, ·sees no reason ta incre_ase secu_rity an "campus, because "we really don't have . a problem." . Howeve_r. there are isolated instances that cal.\se you ta wander. For example, there are broken windows caused every naw"and then. by people foaling around, or there is last year's little mishap with the food services building. It appeared that same students were caught breaking and entering into the food services building, but upon further investigation, it was discovered that the employees weren't even locking· the doors. · This is Peru, not Omaha. The most exciting thing ta happen at a PSC dance is perhaps someone getting a little carried away and falling through a wall or window. UNO dances, I hear, are quite eventful. Guards are placed at: UNO dances because the administration there is afraid that someone will became trigger-happy and start shooting again; Haw many times has this happened at Peru? · . Or how many of you have heard about the rapes that have supposedly taken pll:lce an campus? Haw many of you were among" those ta tell about these rapes? And yet, haw many of you knew the actual facts? .,,,., According to Campus Security, these rapes never took place an campus. Talk and speculation helped ta circulate true worry and concern over a problem· that did not exist. Certainl¥ it's

One Sunday evening, during the fall semester, Shawn Matzen, a former student currently stationed at Omaha with the Security Police;. gave this course at a mandatory dorm meeting. This was such a success that he gave this course again, later in the semester.. · This, I feel is greatly needed and appreciated. All women, and men -too, should be aware of haw ta protect themselves. should the need ,arise. · · Another solution to this would be an escorting service. What do you think about an escorting service? Nat much. obviously. for the idea seems ta have died. It sounds like a good idea though. When a girl has ta walk home from Delzell or the Complex after a late night study session, rather than walking .alone in the dark and scary PSC night, she can call the Escort Service Hat Line, and abra-cadabra ... an escort will appear. This charming escort would then walk her home, and the young damsel lh•distress would be safe. For all practical intents and purposes, this sounds to b.e a : 'solution to the "rape problem." But haw many of you yauJ'.lg ladies would use or ev.;n acimit ta using this service? Moreover. h'15w many of you young men wquldbewaiting on the other end of thatlinejustraringtowalka total stranger home? Besides, is it really necessary? "There's usually no problem.'' says Fal;)ry. He comments that Christmastime and the end of the spring semester usually bring about a little thievery, but nothing that campus Securitiy can't handle. "It's nothing ta get excited about." . Disgruntled students complain, worry and spread groundless rurpors. I see no problems with PSC Campus Security. We seem to be a pretty safe lat, and 1 always feel secure.

Eats Cari Be Costly By Dawn Bowsman Have you ever purchased anything and then thrown it away without opening it or trying it out? Most likely yoyr;» answer is "No, of cours7ri5t.

You certainly don't get a refund; you waste your money. Some PSC students are having this very problem. Students on the 10-meal plan are usually those. who don't eat breakfast, or those who work and aren't here for most of the meals. Sometimes these people stay .here on the weekends, and if they just happen to have any meals left. they would like to be able to use them. They can't. The 10-meal plan is to be used only Monday through Friday, not on the .weekends. When the 10-meal plan was introduced two years ago, it could. be used on the weekends. Being the first year for it, the response wasn't very high. Administration took th.at to mean that the students didn't want it, so they converted it into the. "convenience plan," which means no weekends.

Donovan brings expertise from both his art and speech drama maJors .to the Peru Players. In addi.tion to acting. he designs and paints scenes. The nature of play production demands regular attention to duties. says Donovan. In that respect,'he explains, his drama interests currently take precedence over art. · Acting appeals./'to his enjoyment of "moving people" to laughter or tears. saysDonovan: The satisfac~ tion he once derived from entertaining grade school classmates now comes from a theatre audience. It is especially gratifying. he says •.. to be told in person that h.is performance was powerful enough ·to make someone cry. That power was evidently apparent in his portrayal 9f Tom Wingfield in The Glass Menagerie last. fall. H.is performance earned him an Irene Ryan nomination. As a result, he competed in the annual American College Theatre Festival in St. Louis last month. Judging was based on a five-minute performance with a partner and also . monologue. The PSC actor chose scenes from Death of a Salesman and Brighton Beach Memoirs. Local playgoers can judge Donovan for themselves when the Peru Play1ers present the latter. play this April. Although he didn't survive the initial cut in the Festival

In addition to art and drama studies. he will soon add education courses to ob1Jain a teaching:certificate.

The Cooperative Vocational Education ·Program is an internship a. student does at a

program at PSC is that virtually no one knows about it yet. "There were; only 13 people who did the internships : the first semester, and there are just 31 this semester as of today;" he said. "Studer)tsjust don't know aboµt it." · "One of the reasons·i~s not kriowr is becaus.e it was only open to the bu;Siness division before; now it's open to everyone. We have added science and technology,, education; physical education' and humanities. It now has all the major fields of study," said Harshbarger.

Program Benefits He also said the program has many benefits. It provides guidance and exploration of·· careers, and hands-·on experience and it monitors the student's performance and progress. Students also earn credit for graduation.

Ted Harshbarger business or job related to his or her major field of study. For example, an accounting major could work an internship at.an accounting firm.

The main problem for the

"The student can apply 16 hours of .the internship towards graduation. \>Forty hours of internship equal one college credit," Harshbarger said. The internship program is also open to nearly everyone and can start at any time. "We have what you would call an open enrollment. It's primarily for juniors and seniors but we also want second semester sophpmores to apply," Harshbarger said. · He also said it isn't hard for a studen:t to enroll. "All a student has to do is talk with the divisional coordinators or come to the Administration

Building and fill out an application form. One of the coordinatqrs will discuss the program With the student anq then help them ·find a job," Harshbarger said. . The divisional c;:oordinators are Robert LewellenCBusiness), Qarence Eash(Science and Technology). Larry Brown(Education and Physical Education), and Don Schwartz<Humanities).

Apply Now For Summer Right now, the program is taking applications.for summer work.. "The businesses really want students to start applying now so they can be ready for the summer," Harshbarger saie\; The program can set the student up wherever he or she wants. Internships are primarily in southeast Nebraska, surrounding areas of Mi5souri, Kansas, and Iowa, but they can also be set up in Omaha anci Lincoln. The main thing, Harshbarger said, is just tq get the word out about the program.

Teamwork Pays Off Big For Bellevue Natives by Russ Waring The PSC men's basketball team is having another impressiv~ season, as they are one of the top teams in District 11 due in a. large part to six yo.ung·men from Bellevue. One scan down the PSC roster reveals that six of the. players come from~ the ,Bellevue area. They are Mark Crockett, Phil Davidson. Bill Richards, Brett''Richards. Dave Schoonover and Rob Wright. Schoonover is from Bellevue East,·while the rest come out of Bellevue West. which· is headed by Bill and Brett's dad, Lanny Richards. who is a graduate 'bf PSC. According to Cbach Gibbs, all six 'came qut of high school "functionally sound." Gibbs also said that they're a good group of kids, that make a good p9sitive impact. ,; .The group feets·that coming from the same town ·helps them play together, as .they know each other's moves. and capabilities. They say that it helps off-court, as well as

.they're all good friends, As a group they average about 26 points per game.and have 120 rebounds· and 134 assists. The mah doing most of the damage is Brett Richards. He's· third in District 11 in' scoring with 20. 7 points per game, seventh in assists with 4.3 a game. According to the last District 11 report. he is also ninth in accuracy from three-point range, connecting on 82 for 193 ·for a .425 percentage,, and forth in free throw percentage, hitting 92 for 106 for an .868 percentage. While Brett. is the one grabbing.most of the headlines, according to Cbach Gibbs, it's Just a matter of time befo.re the rest get their dues; .Gibbs went on to sa'y that the basketball ti:!am continues to get more kids fr9m the Omaha area, as they are "finding out the positive things about Peru." One of those positives has to be that these guys are going to be around for the next couple of years.

Last January. the American Council on Education (ACE) ,r"college president's trade group in Washington, D.C., discovered black male enrollment had actually fallen from 470,000 students in 1976 . to 436,000 in 1986.

While some campuses already are smarting from a lack of professors, a Princeton University report released in September warned colleges will suffer a shortage of at least 6,000 professors by 2000.

The Education Dept. thinks the number df facult>: will increase by 4 percent, from 741 .000 in 1988 to 771,000 in 2000. Perhaps out of necessity, 01urch predicts "we'll see an enlarged arena of people who belong in academia," including people with backgrounds in government and industry.

Dr. Hytrek has been on the PSC faculty since • 1 979. In addi·tion to his classroom duties. he oversees placement and supervisiori of PSC student teachers.·

And, she adds, "We need to be especially diligent about what's missing most: minority faculty."

Athletic Fee Discussed at Student Senate Forum· By Amy Snyder A proposed $10 athletic fee was the topic of a student forum held in Benford Recital Hall on Tuesday, January 30. The fee would be added to all students' fees and would be used to accomplish a priority list of goals compiled by Dean Jerry Joy and the PSC Student Senate. Kelly Tynon, president of Student Senate and coordinator of the gathering, began the session by introducing the purpose of the fee. She noted that each prioritized item had been discussed on campus many times in the past. and that this fee would assure a realization of these goals. The list is as follows: · 1) Completion of the baseball/softball fields west of the Centennial Complex by fall of 1990. 2) Installment of tennfs courts, complete with basketball hoops and lights by fall 1990-spring i 991.

Expansion of varsity athletics by adding a track and golf program in the 1991-92 school year. 3)

Tynon went oh to explain that these additions to PSC went hand-in-hand with the goals of Student Senate, and, therefore, the Senate had ·voted to support the fee. The ·next speaker, Erin O'Grady, president of Women's Athletic Association and Varsity Club, continued support of the proposal by describing the fee as a "major plus for the entire campus." She believes everyone cou.ld benefit from the possible

increased enrollment inspired by these changes, and from the sense of pride that would follow. "Varsjty athletes will not be th'e only ones to benefit from this," O'Grady said. She stated that 450 students are involved in intramural athletics and that the·y too would profit. Diaan Jerry Joy then took the stand·and provided yet another outlook on the situation. He discussed the difficulty in allocating funds for such projects, and looked back· on the Student Center fee and the gains that the college has i received from such a "valuable asset." The final speaker, Athletic Director and coach, Tqm Shea, reiterated many of the points previously made. He sees the baseball/softball complex as a necessity to the teams and noted that the baseball team has been forced to play home games in Auburn and Tecumseh in the past. He also said that funding for the team to travel comes out of the players' pockets. Continuing, he revealed that the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics District 11 has banned PSC from playing any softball games on the city field. "We owe it to these people to give them a place to play." Shea's final comments referred to the ability of new programs to "sell" our institution to incoming students. He· spoke of the renovation of the library and the influence it had on people's view of the school. continued on page 11

Work-study Funding Uncertain By Cathie English There is no indication at all that PSC \/\{ill receive any new money for the college workstudy program, according to Peggy Groff, coordinator of work-study and financial aid secretary. College·work study pays $3.36 per hour, but, according to Groff, PSCwill not raise the wages. until July 1 , even though minimum wage will increase April 1.

Groff said work-study job allotments average $750 a year per student, but with minimum wage going up, the financial aid office may have to limit the number of people who will receive work-study jobs. "We may pay the same amount, but put fewer people on," she said. Groff said they would like to see a raise in the allotment to $900. Joanne Catlett, a junior who works for the placement office, stated that it woL.Jld make a big difference for her if :ninimum wage is increased. "I oay a babysitter and it will ·1elp," she said.

Amy Henzel, a fifth-year senior who works for the humanities department, said she is concerned about the depletion of funds for college work-study. "The federal and state government should put more money ·into this program," she stated. Henzel said if there are students who are willing to work, there should be jobs available to them ..Henzel said she thought the raising of minimum wage would make work-study more of a job market situation. She said, "More people would be in competition ... it could be beneficial and produce better work-study students."

Letter to the Editor...

PSC Grovvth Is Up To All Of Us By Laura Winegardner, Amy Snyder, & Kelly Tynon

A· sort of "hurray"for-meand-to-hell-with-the-rest" attitude has developed against a proposar to add new athletic facilities at PSC.

The proposal calls for the completion of the baseball and"' the softball fields west of the Centennial Complex, the installation of tennis courts, complete with basketball hoops and lights, and the expansion of varsity athletics by. adding a track and a golf program. This action will . require an additional $10.00 student fee.

If.you are a thinking person you have to Cf?nclude that this proposal will only help Peru.

"Why can't we get n')oney through other means, like fundraisers?" · If you are a thinking person, you have to conclude tha.t this

As students, we often place the · responsibility .for ·growth and development of a campus upon the faculty and administration. proposal will only help Peru. Without a doubt, we will gain in the development of new intramural, varsity, and community programs. We should not only consider how this would benefit us individually, but how this would profit our college as a whole.

. As students, we often place the responsibility for growth Certain students against the and development of a campus proposal justify their opinions upon the faculty and adminiwith the.statements, "l live.14. strat;ton. Is this responsibility miles away and will never use co.rreetly placed? We think.not! if. Why should I .pay for it?" or Each of us has something to

give, but an environment in which it can be· given will not exist until we first give opportunities to. our fellbw students and the community of Peru, which. is also kicking in money to support these projectS. Stud'r,JJts who were concemed about the additional fee or the proposal had an opportl,inity to. voice their opinions on Thursday, February 1, at a student senate-sponsored forum. However, hardly anyone showed up, yet, we are. still hearing opposition against this action; we want to know why.

Dear Editor. Last September a parking lot north of Delzell Hall was opened for use by commuters. I enjoyed using the lot because it was closer to the Jindra Fine Arts Building where most of my classes were held. However, l have had a difficult time using the lot in the past month or so. It isn't that the lot is full. The lot rarely has more than seven or eight cars in it. The condition of the lot makes it impossible to use. Last week my car was parked in the lot for one day.

I walked through ruts filled with water to get to my car. The gravel that did cover the lot has disappeared into the mud. I'm surprised people aren't getting stuck. I almost did. As a commuter, I appre- · date the convenience of ·a parking lot so near .. 1'.he campus. There yvas ·a raise in pa.rking .fe~s 'so that this lot could be built .. Since the lot is now a fact, I see no reason why it can't be maintained so that it is usable .. Betty Hecht

We have also heard rumors that this proposal was "railroaded" through .the senate. How can this be when all concemad were given the opportunity to comment at the forl.Kn? It's time we get on with the business of obtaining ari education, and make a contribution to the future of PSC student.s and the community of Peru.

'Some Patented Methods For Beating The Clo~k, The Alarll't'ing Confessions of a Certified Snoozer By Amb!=!r Fabry

The"alarm rings.; and (just lie there. I have to trick myself into waki~ up some mornings. ! ·· You probably assume that . the .111ind is not very "on the ball'.'.\t\lhen itjustv\takes up. Thisisfalse. My mind is more cunning and devious when it's half asleep than at any other time of day. For instance, suppose I want to wake up at 6:30and go run around the campus a couple of times, do some situps, shower, and readthe newspaper while l ·eat my Crunch Berries atbreakfa!:it. I f::lave to eat fast, <say, 15 minutes) so I can leave for ?,class at 8:0Q. I .don't really 0 want to do all those things that early in the morni11g, but · I try · to main.tain high standards. That sort of morning doesn't sound too bad, does it? That's because you're one of those people for whom waking up is one of life's great pleasures. You probably dream about the delight of waking to the sound of alarm clocks. Loud bleeps, soft bleeps, and all

sorts

of crazv sounds that

alarm clocks make really get yoU excited. You are also tx>t.ally deranged t YOA.J see. I have to fake

myself out by setting my alarm dock for 6 a:m. It has one .of those snooze features so that I can just smack it on its little head, and it lets me sleep for another eight minutes . C.Ves, I'm sure you know about these.) I have to trick myself into thinking that I ha.ve another half hour of•· sleep. I don't know how I do ,. it, but I can always make eight e.xtra minutes feel like a half hour. So far so good. But let's look at how it works in real life: 6 a.m. The alarm clock niust have gone off, but for some reason I don't remember hearing it. 6:08 a.m. l feel myself turning over, and' my ar~· reaches out and smacks the alarm clock on top. "SMACK!" l hear .. Then I don't hear anything again. 6:16 a.m. Repeat 6:08 a.m .• only the "SMACK!" is louder. 6:24 a.m. Repeat! 6:32 a.m. The alarm sounds, and I look at the red numbers of the clock. I'm already two minutes late, so I· might as well make it an even ten. (The morning is the only time I can calculate numbers this' well.) "SMACK!" 6:40a.m. It's definitely too

late to run around campus,. To make sure I get up at 6 a.m. tomorrow. I put the ala rm clock across the room. behind tht;! bookshelf and pile stuff on top of it. The logic here is that by the time I uncover the clock. I'll be awake enough to deal with the fact that I have to getup. I reset the clock for 7 a.m. 6:57 a.m. l'mbarelyawake and expecting the alarm to go off any second. Right ... right ... Now! Right ... Now! Right ..... the alarm, doesn't go off. and l drift back to sleep. 7:22 a.m. My dorm room is brighter and warmer. Birds are chirping, and I hear others going to brealjfast. Finally, I feel ready to start the day. " Then I suddenly realize I must have set the clock wrong• I bolt upright, feeling something like tarantulas creeping up my spine. I leap across the room, frantically uncovering the clock. Its shimmering red numbers burn into my soul the fact that I've totally blown it. I'm history. I've had it. So long. Finished! Believe it or not, I make it to class on timE!. My blouse is a little wrinkled. though, and I didn't have · any Crunch Berries. <This makes up for the situps I missed.) I've

forgotten my notebook, but l borrow some paper from the person in front of me. She rips it out of her notebook. And, by the way, "you wouldn't happen to have an extra pen?" Tomorrow this isn't going to happen. I've got it all

figured out. I'll get a screwdriver and remove the snooze button from my clock; then I'll put the clock at the back of my closet and hook up the alarm to my stereo loudspeakers, which I'll set on both sides of my pillow ...

SAT lest Deemed Unfair Carter Woodson's Dream Comes True With Black History Month Recognition by Spencer Davis In the 1 920's the historian Carter G. Woodson began the movement for an officially designated annual commemoration of black history. Woodson's hope - long frustrated - is now a reality. February is now recognized as Black History Month. and each February countless events across the .country are dedicated to this purpose.

It is especially appropriate for educational institutions to be actively engaged in celebrating Black History Month. The faculty, students and administration of Peru State College should be proud of the way in which our Black History Month activities have improved over the last few years. The events on our campus compare very

(CPS)--The anti-SAT (Scholastic Achievement Test) movement gained more steam Jan. 24 as the leaders of almost 50 national education groups called on schools to· stop giving students standardized, multiple choice tests. The groups, organized by FairTest, a Cambridge, Mass.-based critic of the SAT, urged schools to create "performance portfolios" to replace standardized tests as measures of students' educational progress. Such a change, of course.• would dqastically alter the way colleges decide who to admit. "It would change things quite a bit," said Gretchen Young, assistant dean of admissicns at Georgia State University. Young, who says SAT and ACT sc.ores help make fair judgments on potential students' success, predicts GSU would put more emphasis on students' high school courses, grade~point averages and extracurricular ac;tivities if test scores were abolished. Monty Nei'IJ of FairTest contended that. by relying on multiple choice test scores. schools, hoping to prove themselves by amassing high scores, have switched to teaching

students how to pass memory tests instead of teaching them how to think. Neill, along with groups such as the American Federation of. Teachers, Council for Basic Education and the· Institute for Learning and Teaching, proposed that schools do away with worksheets and drills, and instead, have more hands-on projects. "In public education, daily work is controlled by multiple choice. We believe it is more important that students understand things such as the scientific method rather than to memorize facts," Neill said. Hoping to• diminish the importance of test scores that. in turn. could deter some students from applying to certain campus.es. 44 colleges announced in October they would stop reporting the average SAT scores of their new freshmen. They agreed to report only the range of scores. Babson, Hampshire, Lewis and Clark. and Simmons colleges, Carnegie Mellon; Harvard, Syracuse and Texas Chrhttian universities. as well as the universities of Michigan, Rochester, Tulsa and Washington were amohg the schools that agreed to report ranges of scores,

Playoffs Scheduled...

Davidson Believe·s Lady Cats A Good Bet For HOrne Game

. The National Association of ln.tercollegiate Athletics 'cNAllP District 11 playoffs are scheduled for May 10-12 at pmaha. · Last season, the Lady Cats matched the school's secondhighest win total ever; earned unprecedented fourth C:(>nsecutiv'e post-season t·ournament berth, and produced an impressive 16-4 record at home. With approximately two weeks of the regular season remaining, Peru State College women's basketball coach Wayne _Davidson said the playoff picture for his Lady Boqcat squad appears pretty certain.

.an.

"!think we would have a solid chance to play the first round at home," Davidson said Thursday. "If that's the case, I think we would host Hastings or Midland." . The Lady Bobcats, 15-8 on Feb. 12, are waging a battle with l<earney State for the top Independent spot in Nebraska. Peru State is currently No. 2 with a 3.04 Krause Kount .rating, while the Lady Lopers

hold the No. 1 spot with a 3. 16 index.

As of Feb. 12, Chadron State, 6-7, would qualify as tlie third and final Independent team with a 2.16 index rating, and Wayne State, 3-20, was at 1.95 . The top three Nebraska Intercollegiate Athietic Conference (NIAC) schools and the top three Independents will advance to the six-team NAIA District 11 i;>layoffs. scheduled to begin on Tuesday, Feb. 27at hJst sites. · The No. 1 team from each league, currently Doane and Kearney State, will receive first rourn:;l byes. NIAC teams, however, are seeded based on the final conference standings and not the Krause Kountindex. Davidson said Peru State's chances of overtaking the Lady Lopersforthetoplndependent spot are slim. "They're ahead of us enough that you would have to project them No. 1," he said. "At this point in the season. they have such a lead that it's hard to pick up any ground.

"Wliat it comes down to is we have to win all of our remaining games. with possibly one loss, and we have to have them lose several times. Maybe three or four on the road." Kearney State's remaining schedule is favorable, but not a lock. After Peru State, the. Lady Lepers will close out with road games at Briar Cliff, Mount Marty, Sout.hern Colorado, and Cqlorado Mines. "There's. still a chance, but agair., it's ver:y, very slim," Davidson said. "But there are a couple of possibilities where if they lose several and we win, it could come down to fraction points of deciding who's No. 1."

Bob.cats Pull-Out Barnburner *' Brett Richards, and Brad Thompson, who combined for six three pointers in the half. Even so, the Ravens were able to take a 49-45 lead behind the shooting of Jason Wyrick and Pat Giller, who Gibbs says is "practically unstoppable," and is "as good an offensive player as we've faced."

The second half started in much the same way, as the lead changed hands several more times, but with 10:09 left Bill .Richards hit a three-pointer to give 'p5c a 78- 75 lead. The Cats never again looked back. as the inside game of James Bell, Rod Frederick, and Todd ·McGowan, along with some big foul shots, shut the door on Benedictine.

Junior Brett Richards shoots the gap for a shot against Benedictine.

By Russ Waring The signs · across campus stated that "The Bobcats want you" to come to the Benedictine game, ar'id if you happened to be on hand for it, then you saw what coach. Gibbs called "a barnburner." The Cats shot 59.6 percent from the field;. knocked down some clutch free throws, and

turned the ball over only eight times on the way to a 111-105 victory over a. Raven team that had won six straight. The first half S?W the Cats jump out early, but the lead exchanged hands all half long, as both teams were hot from outside. The Bobcats got most of their scoring form the outside bombing of Otis Crumpton,

Gibbs was pleased with the offensive play but said that the Cats still need to play bet~r defense and rebound better. He cited Bell for his inside play, which the Cats had missed the past two games C10 points, 11 rebounds), as well as Brett Richards (11-17, 32 points, six three pointers), and Frederick (9-12, 20 points, 8 rebounds) for all having outstanding games. Other important stats include Crumpton ( 16 points, 4 rebounds), McGowan ( 13 points', 5 assists), Thompson ( 13 points. 5 assists), Bill Richards (5 points, 5 assists), and Marc Crocket (2 points, 1 block). The Ravens were led by Giller's 31 pts. and Wyrick's 20. THe Bobcats have four games remaining, probably the biggest ~of which is a home game against Bellevue on Feb. 15, as the Cats battle for tops in district 1 i'~·· The last two Bellevue games have been decided in the final seconds, which leaves Coach Gibbs and the Bobcats, "Hoping for another good turnout," for what very well could be another "barn burner."

Campus Candids Inside.....

Does Anyone Need To Cheat? by Cathie English We live in litigious times. Du ring the past week, I learned just how true this statement is. ft is. not easy to gather information on the subject .of cheating. ft is a subject veiled in secrecy. Ambiguity reigns. Instructors want to talk. but they don't want to be quoted~ Students also want to talk. but they don't want to be quoted, either.

We are creating a society that says we have to be periect.

The discussion of cheating made me begin to think that many of our instructors have Ph.D.'s in diplomacy. In the Jan. 14 Omaha World Herald article, "Colleges Look for Answers to Halt Cheating Problem," James Flanery writes, "Several instructors are said to be reluctant to report incidents of cheating because of the time required to prove it and fear of lawsuH:s." The fear of being sued has created careful and discrete

individuals in most professions.

The fear of being sued has created c~reful and discrete individuals in most professions.

Medical doctors, in particular, obstetricians, pay a high price for malpractice insurance. Most doctors will not testify against a colleague. They have to stick together. Our litigious spirit has reached apoint when even attorneys live· in fear of the lawsuit. Lawyers sued for malpractice? Certainly. We are creating a society that says we have to be perfect. Instructors should ensure students an "A," doctors shol.Jld save every patient, and attorneys should win every case. I can't say I blame any of the instructors for not ·speaking up about cheating. Perhaps they fear that their amount of liability insurance isn't adequate. Perhaps they wonder if their state education association would r.eally stand behind them.

After considering all these things, I am still left wondering why teachers, doctors or lawyers •. should be afraid of practicing. the profession they have been trained in. But what . if they cheated? .That's scary thought. If they did cheat, then they should face the consequences. They should be afraid.

As l think these thoughts, I begin to recall my beginning journalism class. I hear the 1 stern words of Dr. Holtz. He • talked about ethics, malice and' slander. He incited the fear of God in us. I took it very seriously. At the same time, l

"You can't squeeze blood out of a turnip.•• am a little grateful that I rent a home, that I own one car Can '82 Buick with over 150,000 miles); that I don't have a fulltime job, that my personal assests are less than $5,000, and that I owe money on a student loan. As a friend once advise«:i me,· "You can't squeeze blood out of a turnip.'' I am lucky.··· I can sleep soundly tonight--like a turnip.

HOnors Committee Exparids By Dr. Anthony McCrann · Once in a television interview I remember former President Jimmy Carter explaining. how he arrived at the title Why Not the Best? for his autobiography. Carter described an incident from yea rs earlier when he had been a young naval .officer and how during an interview for a position with the nuclear submarine program he had been grilled by the inspecting officer, the imperious, redoubtable Admiral Hyman Rickover. "Have you always done your best?" the Admiral asked. '.'No," Carter answered. "Why not?" Rickover asked. Carter wasn't sure 'why not'; he knew only that he was disappointed in himself, and he resolved to extend himself as far as possible from then on. Students need to ask themselves the same question that Rickover asked Carter.

Extending Yourself To extend yourself as far as possible--that is the opportun~ ity the Peru State College Honors Program offers you. You get to work with other students who are wellprepared and highly motivated, an9 you get to engage in a more serious level of inquiry. You will .:>e: recqgnized. a,t. commencement, anc:J your participation will oe noted on your Permanent rec;?rd. Obviously,

being an Honors student will make you more attractive to future employers and to graduate schools.

How To Apply

"UNL credits new Honor~ Program for rise in freshman enrollment" read a head)ine in the Omaha World~Herald a few years back. We hope for the same positive result here at Peru. Everyone wins when a college.increases its enrollment of strong students; it feeds on itself; success breeds success.

Letter to the Editor... Dear Editor: Aren't we going a bitfar with the proposal of a $10.00 athletic fee added on to every students school fees?

I agree that $10 from everyone would improve athletic facilities at PSC, and that this program deserves it, but so couldn't such a fee be assessed for the science, art, and library arrangement ... items which I have already paid for twice. Funding for such things should be covered through the state taxes ... not continually "added on" for individual items ... parkil(lg. health, yearbook, etc. The list keeps growing. Besides, 1. thought monies collected through college tuition went into the state general fund and coulp not be earmarked for specific areas/improvements. (Ex: parking fees collected at psc do not stay here for improvement of our parking fas:;ilities.) I already pay taxes that fund colleges as well as pay tuition. and I don't feel it is fair to single out one program for special funding when all programs would benefit from"·?UCh an arrangement ... items fo;- which I have already paid for twice. Also, efforts to involve students to stay in Peru on weekends through school-arranged activities. coupled with the reduced number of traditional students enrolled in summer school that would use the new fac.ilities, doesn't seem to warrant the large amounts of money that would be generated by this fee. Questions: Once the financial need was satisfied (whoever heard of that happening), would the fee be removed (whoever heard of that happening ! ) How else could the money be ra.ised? If there really is so much campus interest, why isn't there better attendance at t.he athletic eveni;s (except by faculty)? Who wouJd. be designated to oversee the construction of these additi©nal facilities and who would determine what criteria would have to be m~t t.o satisfy the initially stated goals? Additionally, I am a "thinking person" that still objects to this fee, and the concern I hold for this college as a whole (not my own interest area) has prompted me to. write these comments. If l had known about the previous forum, !would have attended. B.J. Patterson

Dear Jerry: It was so thoughtful of you to let me know of ti")e schedule for Women's History Month. Unfortunately, my scheduler informs me that traveling to Peru to attend one of the events will not be possible.

As promised, we are going to start a series of articles on the results of the Drug and Alcohol Survey. A total of 14 pages of information is being compiled .. We have not digested it all at this point, so we will be serving it to you in courses. Consider this week as being your appetizer. Graph one tells you who P.articipated, and we note that th®se responding to this survey indicated that 61 . 70/o of the students are working. This compares favor.ably with,last issue's survey on who's working. We doubt if the campus has a ratio of 2.5 females to one ·male. but if that is. true, Admi;,,sions has a real marketable item.

Per~on by Merri Johnson PSC isn't exactly a mecca for foreign students; there are only a handful of non· Americans enrolled here. One might wonder how they ever heard of Peru State in the. first place. Perhaps. like Wei Hoe Chong of. Brune,i. t;hey have a stateside pen pal. Wei is typical of many young people in Brunei vyho attend colle~e abroad. Brunei is a tiny country located on the northwest coast of·· Borneo off · the Malay Peninisula. Competition to get into college is stiff, she says, because there are so few postsecondary schools. She is somewhat unusual in coming to the U.S., however. Australia is actually the country of choice, she says. It is thousands of miles closer: Perhaps more importa'ntly, a diploma from an American school may be viewed suspiciously. The reason, Wei explains, is that fake diplomas origina~ing ih ·the U.S. cast doubt on the credibility of an American ,education. · Despite the drawbacks, Wei decided to come. Nebraska's tuition rate was a big factor, she said, and PSC's proximity to Omaha gave it the edge over Kearney and Cnadr:cm. Having frienp in the Midwest probably ..helped, too. Wei began ·corresponding with her Wisconsin pen pal about five years ago. He

of the Week

arranged for someone to meet her at the Los Angeles international airport when she arrived last August. Wei has been used to traveling basically on her own since she was 12. But stepping off that plane in Los Angeles was a whole new experience.

Wei Hoe Chong She knew trcim tele~ 1sion that America was a big place, but she wasn'.t prepared· for the reaJ thing. She admits she was "shQc:ked'.' by the racial mix, something she wasn't used to·. And there were "such tall people!" she laughs. To add to her confusion, Wei had no idea what her conta<,::t person ..rooked like,. except th.at he was Asian. They finally found each other in the terminal when she spotted him holding a sign with her name on it. Now that she's been here for seven months, Wei says she's

adjµs1;ing, except for one thing. "Food is the problem for me," she says. Americanized rice just doesn't cut it. Unfortul'1· ately. she confesses, "I am a poor cook." So she has added cook book reading to her stamp and coin-collecting hobbies to learn how to prepare her own Chinese-style food. There are di.fferences besides food, of course. She · comments that people here "shout so much," in contrast to }~he calm and quiet manner she ' grew up ~ith. There is also less emphasis on "humbers" in her country. Wei compared her hometown of Miri to Lincoln in size. But she pointed out that there.are no city limits signs announcing the population, so she really isn't sure. Her own family has a pretty healthy "population." Wei refers to herself as being "sandwiched" among her two brothers and foµr sisters. Her father is a building contractor, and her mother is a trapitional hom.emaker. Will she retu.rn to Brunei <ttter graduation? .Pr9!:>.ab1Y· only to visit, ..\Nei .says. Job opportµn·it!es there are not very promising. She prefers to stay in the U.S. if she can find employment. Her second choice is Singapore. She is hopeful that economic development there will create a demand for compµter science degrees.

SENATE The Student Senate held meetings on Wed., Feb. 14 and 21 . The general stµdies recommendations have made secondround approval through the College Affairs Committee. If approved by the Boa rd of Trustees, they will be implemented in the fall of '90. The Non-residents Scholar Program is being evaluated by the COiiege Affairs Ccimmittee. The program will offer in-state tuition rates to students from beighboring states. The details on the program are still being worked out. Its purpose is to attract students from other states with good academic backgrounds to PSC. The Student Representative to the Board of Trustees, Cindy Janssen, reported that LB 1141 will be going in front of the State Legislatµre in March. As part of the reorganizationofthe college system in Nebraska, there will be the creation of a local Board of Trustees for each college. · As the bill is currently written, the board is to include a student representative who would have a voting right. However, the bill also includes the elimination of all the student representatives that are currently at the state level. F,or more information on this bill, contact Representative Janssen. The Eliza Morgan Assessment Committee is being formed to look into the renovation of Morgan Hall. The purpose of the committee is ·to. come up with a detailed proposal to . be presented to the State Legislature. Hopefully· we may ..see some renovations beginning ·within ayearl · The Campus Recycling committee is looking for your help in . ere.a ting .slogans to get the recycling effort off to a good start. Ariy student interested in helping the committee is invited to attend the meetings. If you have any additional ideas, turn them into the student programs office. ' Senate elections are being held on the first and second of March. The new representatives will begin their term March 28 after the annuql Senate banquet. At the next meeting, the ·sei.ate will be voti'ng on the Scro of Service and the Senate Scholarships. The Scroll of Service Award winner is chosen from among the whol.e student bo(::!y.

Racism dies hard ...

Student. Unrest•-Racial Tensions Build CCPS)--No fewer than seven campuses were disturbed by racia·1 confrontations, cross burnings and charges of insensitivity in mid-February. Students at Bradley, Villanova and Slippery Rock universities, Cabrini and Vassar colleges, the University .of Illinois and the New .School for Social Research in New York all found themselves contending with some sort of racial l)roblem. There wasnocommoncause" of the disparate, unrelated incidents--which have erupted, at scores of schools throughout the 1989-90 school year-but some observers blamed the raci~Uy segregated lives most students led before getting to campus. ·. .. Part of .the problem is not .. enough education in the (precollege) or college system in terms· of what to do about feelings of cqnflict or tension," said Richard Anliot of Pennsylvania's Human Relations Commission. "Students ·on college campuses are coming from all-black or allwhite schools."

Many of· the problems have been in Anliot's own state. At Cabrini College ii;i Pennsylvania, officials on Feb. 11 discovered the word "nigger" scrawled over a poster naming . college staff member Tyrone Carr, who is of Caribbean descent. It was the 8th incident of racism on the campus in 13 months. The college's 1.200 students-about 4 percer:it.of whom are black--were orde~ed to attend a campuswide meeting with c 0 ltege President Eileen Currie Feb. 15 to. discuss the outbreak. At Villanova 1 also in Penhsylva nia, students say the schqol unfairly treated .a black stuqent wh<J ·tried to steal a piece of ·fruit .out of a school dining hall by demanding he present identific.ation. The student refused. and local police arrested the student.

Small Town, Big Success

Frederick Is ·'College Material" By Phil Davidson When Rod Fredrick first stepped on the campus of Peru State College, he was not sure how he would fa re in basketball at the college level. Being six feet-four inches and ha"'.ing played ce.nter in high school, ROd wondered if maybe he was not meant to be a college player. Roo led the state in scoring with over 30 points a game his senior year at Trenton, a class D;1 high school in southwest Nebraska. Rod has proved to himself and others that he can succeed at the NAIA level. This se.ason he is averaging 15 points and six rebounds a game for a Bobcat team that has the most wins in the state. Although he has put up big numbers the last twu years, when he was a freshman, cqach John Gibbs told him that he wanted him to be a defensive player. While his scoring has increased, Rod is still considered one of the top defensive players in the state.

Rod. is successful off the court as well. Majoring in computer science, he has accumulated over a 3.0 GPA, which is even more remarkable considering he finds it difficult to get lab time with his basketball schedule. Although

including his teammates, who voted him a tri-~aptain this year. Teammate Brett Richards said, "I love to play with Rod because he always works very hard, he's team oriented, and he is a great person off the court." When asked what he thought of his college days, Rod replied, I've had some good times, and college has prepared me to go out and be successful in the business world." Hehasproved beyond a shadow of a doubi: that hard work can have great rewards.

Rod Frederick

his study time is valuable, he manages to read and play cards with friends, as well as fish, whenever possible. Rod ha.s gained the respect of many people on campus,

One of Rod's immediate goals is to advance to the NAIA men's basketball tournament in Kansas Oty. Rod is so pumped up for district play to begin, he has even said he might get a flat-top with his number cut in the back of his head. Roo's long-term goal is to be a computer programmer, and he is currently looking for a job in the Omaha area. "lfanyonecan find me a job, I'll take it," he says.

Bobcats Lose to Mid-American Nazarene by Russ Waring The PSCcageteamfellto 1712 on the year in a loss to the pioneers of Mid-American Nazarene by a score of 78-88, in a ·game on Feb. 20, in the AW AC. The Bobcats had bea.ten Mid-America earlier this year by a score of 85-80. The Bobcats, who never led in the contest, tightened things up I.ate in the first half. as Brett Richards hit a trey, and Andy Dunlap knocked one down from inside with 1 :33 remaining in the half to close the gap to 34-38. But a pair of three pointers by Pioneers Trent Cole and Bill Elliot made the score 34"44 at the half. · The second half saw the Pioneer lead grow to 13 (6073), before a three-pointer by Brett and a basket by Brad Thompson · and free throws

from each of them closed the

gap to 70-73. From there on baskets by Rod Frederick, Bill Ric!1ards, and James Bell kept t:1e Cats close. but Mid-America hit their free throws down the stretch to come out on top. The Cats hit 50.8 % from the field (28-53, and 5-12 on 3 pt. shots), but only 41.2°'6 from the line (7-17), while the Pioneers shot 57.1% (20-35, and 8-14 from the field), and 70.6% from the line (24-34). Brett Richards led PSC in ~.coring with 18 points, followed by Thompson 16. Bell 10, Frederick 9, Dunlap 8, McGowan 7, Bill Richards 3, Crumpton 1, and Milner). Bell had nine rebounds. and Thompson had six assists to lead the Cats in those categories.

Coach Gibbs said that the offense played well, but that '..'the defense is a big concern going into the playoffs." He stated that the defense was better earlier in the year than.l't has been of late, but that the team has been looking better in practice since the MidAmerica game. He also said that the Cats have to stay out of foul trouble, something they've had some difficulty doing in the past few gcimes. Gibbs also said that PSC will probably host Hastings in the first round of the playoffs, but in doing so will take on a.tough task as Hastings has gone to nationals the last two years and has "got to be looking to make the trip again." The same trip the Cats have to be eyeing themselves.

Dr. Anthony McCrann, assistant professor of English, stated that one way to avoid cheai:ing is to give essay exams. He said that the best way to avoid plagiarism of 'essayS, was to make the students' assjgnments unique and individualized. According to Tabata. students who cheat throughout their college career are only "kidding themselves." He summed .it up by stating. "they will get caught out in the real world. One of these days, it will catch up to them."

State B-Ba'I Tourney Is Great Equalizer By Amy Snyder

It's funny how things change when you pack up and go to college.

The transition is subtle. Given the entire span of about five or ten minutes folloW.ing hLgh s,chool graduation, "children" are passed into the world of adulth.ood. For many socially-remedial people, this cnange allows little time for · adjustment. Eventually, however, everyone somehow learns to effectively play this newfound role with skill (or, as many will do their entire Jives. they soon learn how to fake it). But how does it feel inside? Within 'your head it's not as cut and dried as a simple change of title. You realize thatyou are in college and that you are, no matter how you fight it, becoming closer to being an ac!ult. But what about all the carefree, exdting things that you werfii! allowed to enjoy just yesterday that n,ow show signs of· a lack of maturity? What is praper "adulthood" etiquette and what is stric:j;ly taboo? · Fortunately, for th.e sake of those still young at heart.• athletics provide an outlet · for physical, f'!'.lental and vocal tensions without exposing those unwanted childhobd qualities ..

Take, for instance, the High School State Basketball tournaments. caught up in the excitement of the games, no one pays any attention to h.ow you act, how you dress or How old you are <or are supposed to be). As long as you're cheering for the right tec:tm. the people aroundyou don't care if you.belch, .cuss or use double nfii!gatives. I think that says something a.bout the way people really are. The idea · of becoming . ari ·adult is very exciting right up until the time you turn into one. It's so easy to project ho.w you will act in the future. and even easier to find fault in the way current adults behave. Butwhentheactual responsibilities of adulthood are handed .doWn, there is generally a tendenc·y to shy away and deny the role. Lookir.g back at .the state · tournament, I see a prime example of this. In high school. the desire

to be accepted as a mature member of society .tends .to dominate the thoughts of girls and guys. What better place than the state's capital city. packed With oolook~rs . from across the area. is there to display this ability to act like adults? Make-up is applied carefully, and wardrobes

are chosenatleasta week in advance. Words are chosen with caution and sentence structure reviewed. Conversely, there is the attitude of the full-fledged gr'?wn-up7. \t\/afking through the doors of the gym and feeling the excitement in the air. a desire to be a kid again and play just "one more game," takes over. Looking back at an over-glamourized athletic career brings many to the opinion that a chance to return to the life of a 17. year-old would be better than winning the lottery. Accepting the fact that winning the lottery is more· probable, thfii!se adult dreamers settle in to watch the games. What better place than the state's capital city, packed with onlookers from across the arec:t Cwh9 • will never see you again)._i:=; there tO. throw caution to the wind and scream and holler like . a . teenage yell leaqer?· L guess what .I'm trying to. say is' that the word C:li;:lult is just that: a word.

Casey's Coming To Peru By Merri Johnson and Laura Osborne Desp~te· rumors to the contrary, Casey's General Store corporation does plan to open a convenience store in Peru. Talk of the new business · began several weeks ago and has been surrounded by uncerta'inty in recent days. Michele Goebel, Peru city clerk, said on March 6 she had heard there was some doub:t about Casey's actually locating in Peru, perhaps due to the possibility that the city would annex the property proposed for the sto.re. The site purchased by Casey's is near the south end of Park Avenue, just outside city. limits. PSC Athletic Director Tom Shea also stated that he had heard a similar story from a. Peru city employee. But Les Knust. director of ,C:asey's store development, said such talk is "strictly rumor." In a telephone interview on March 7. He

confirmed' that Casey's is committed to building in Peru. Accordir:ig to Knust, the preliminary paperwork is done, and the construction will begin when the weather permits. Don Lamberti, Casey's chief executive officer, said the store will be operated by the company's corporate office in Des Moines. A manager, assistant manager, and approximately ten other employees will be hired.' Lamberti stated it is Casey's policy to pire local people. He estimated that the minimum wage for part-time employees would be $4 per hour. He was unable to say if any local contractors would be used in the construction. The store will sell gasoline and the usual convenience store items, as well as pizza. sandwiches and donuts, ·all made fresh on the premises, Lamberti emphasized.

"We can isolate a fire in Delzell and the Centenial Complex (the all-male and coed residence halls on campus) because they are concrete structures and each room can be sealed off. However. this is impossible in Morgan because of its wood structure." "The building is okay the w;ay it is," stressed Gallentine.

Schools .,, By Susan Brown . Is the Uni.ted States' edvcationdl system lax in its , concentration on the three R's? If one is to take the word of a recent Wall Street Journal insert on educa·tion·, the ans.wer to this question is a definitive "yes." The information, gleaned ·from national test scores, shows it is no secret we have youngsters graduating from high. school with grade school skill levels in reading comprehension and basic math. This is shown in college entrance exam scores, also. The work place can attest.to this undeniable occurre.nce as well. Businesses are finding more often than not, they must " ... open a little red schoolhouse in your plant or office and you do tr.e work of • the school

By Paula Winkelman Working with a diverse·· group of people has caused me to set up · my own system of categorizing people. They range from "workers"·to "combos." As you r:ead, estimate which category you might fit'into.

Pavla Winkelman I will start things off w.ith · my favorite c;;;itegory, "workers." In my eyes workers are the people who work hard; take on projects that belonged to someone else; volunteer to work without pay in order to help ;the system work; and give up benefits for the betterment of the business or institution. Anoth~r likeable tn:~it. of we>rkers is that they put in ;,•nextra tirn.e on every proJec~ ·· lnordertomakeitasgoodas

. they possibly can. NdW'. ret'ijoy working with. ·a "worker" becao5e I i::lc:in't have to listen to complaints; · moans or groans as. I do with the second type of people in my system, known as "whiners." . "Whiners" are impossible to work with and tend to complain constantly aboyt being overworked. YE!t manage never to miss ·a break or a lunch ·hour. Another "whiner" trait is the ability to look like they arE! over-worked. ''WhinE!rs" tend to do a good job when · they work. but complain constantly of having to do it: . After "whiners" ruin a good morning, in walk the "get-a-longers." The "get-alongers" have the ability to do just enough work to get by. They don't go out of their way to find work that needs to be done, and they. do only what it takes to remain employed. Type four, known as the "pass-a~longers." take work handed te> them and then pass it on to another person to do. They then take the finished project a.nd introduce it as their work. You know the type, they butter their bread with other peoples butter. All in all, . "pass-a-longers" are likeable ·~~I~. but in the wo~place;

The remai.:ider of the. day is spent leaning .against a file . cabinet, doorway. or wall complain~ ing about the boss. It is this type in my category that I have absolutely no use for, Last but· not. least in my system is the.. "cornbo." The "combo" . can be a combination . of ·any . of the afore mentioned . . For example, ·you can'have a person who is . both a "worker" and a "brown-noser." They are the type that we>rk · really hard but any free time they might have is spent sucking up to the boss. Any combination of the 'afore mentioned would be a useable category. I know it takes all types to make-up the world. But, wouldn't it be great if we could take a little bit out of each category and come up with a perfect worker? Na, I don't think so, because different types tend to make the work more exciting and enjoyable. I guess it does take all types t.o make uptheworldand;;;in diverse workplace.

Clark Seeks Championship By Troy Sed.am Todd Oark, a PSC freshman, is striving for a national championship in Trials Competition, after finishing second last year. What is Trials Competition, you ask? Oark says, "lt's an obstacle course for motorcycle riders that tests a rider's balance, endurance. and abilities in controlling the brakes, clutch and throttle." Trials is scored much the same way as golf; the person with the lowest score wins. Clark said, "You score one point each time your foot touches . the ground, but you can't have any more than three points as longasyo4 make it through the. ob~cte;.J you go ou:t of bounds, ~ive points are scored against YOU ... Trials competition forces the rider to overcome 90 degree inclines, ride over huge boulders, balance li:lcr'oss logs, and turn around in four-foot squares. Qark said, "There are also some different character- · istics about a trials bike. First, there isn't a seat. so the .rider has to stand up. It's also slower .::than most motorcross .bikes but has· a much quiC:ker · acceleration. They also use a Softer tire that .grips rocks better." · · ··

'if

Oark started riding: motorcycles with his older brother when he was about seven years old. His brother wanted

to race motorcross; but his father thought it was too dangerous, and asked him if he would like to try trials. Oark's brother started him in the sport at about 13 and started tutoring him. Tocld said, "I owe much of my success to my brother." Trials riding is comparative to gymnastics in that it requires absolute concentration. ·.. A riderhastohavegreatbalance. ·1 have spent as much as 30 minutes standing on my bike without moving or touching the ground," said Oark. When a rider is out on the course, the tires are his legs, and the brakes and throttle are his nervous system telling him what to do."

Clark said, "You need to be in great 'shape because you have a lot of hills and rocks to climb and quite a few turns .that you have to bounce and pick up your bike to get it turned around inside the tfoundaries. ·Most courses ta.ke from six to seven hours to complete.''By the time you're fihished, you're pretty exhausted." Oark is a training officer in the Midwest Trials A,ssodation (MWTA), which has members from · Omaha; Lincoln, and Kansas Oty, MO . .Oark said a training offic·er helps out younger and less experienced riders. • Two years ago Clark finished

fourth ir::i high school competition and second last year in the support division. He hopes to bring home the gold this year. Todd has nine· national races this.year, the first in Texas c;;t, the end of this month. He will also race in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Illinois, Wyoming and other states.

The Nationalcircuittakesthe riders' best five riders to determine the champion. If Oark wins this. year, he could have a chance. to go to Europe on the national team. If Clark gets picked to go, he would have a chance to ride in the Trials:DeNation, an international team meet where American riders will try to underscore their European adversaries. Oark says that. the European riders are usually pretty good because Trials is more popular in Europe than in.the U.S. Besides the national meets, Oark also has about 40 other meets to go to, 12 of them in the MWTA Conference. Oark says having a lot of meets will help, since he doesn't have as much time to practice as he did in high school. cJark runs and trains for the.:meets every day, but he creqits his parents for most of his success. Todd said, "Wi.thout my parents supporting me both financially and emotionally, 1never would have made it this far."

Last fall Pi Sigma Chi initiated four pledges into their organization. These new members are Sherry Ahrends, Stephanie Moore, Tena Popken and Tricia Tynon. The new pledge for spring semester is Stacey McKeever. Jill Scott had to resign as news reporter because she will be busy. She has entered her professional semester and the girls at Pi Sigma Chi want to say good luck! Tena Popken has been elected as the new news reporter. Last November we held a Rock-A-Thon to benefit Easter Seals. We also had very successful fund raising efforts for 'I Halloween apd Valentine's Day. The Sigma Chi members helped out by going door to door asking for donations; You will be able. to. see tpe Sigma Chi members in Auburn on Mc:irch 31 and April 1 for a bunny hop to benefit Easter Sec:ils.

Brown Leans on Veterans of Women's Softball . The same players who have done it before in the past decade for the Peru State College softball team will have to do .... it again if the Lady Boe.cats are to start the new decade off successfully, Coach Larry Brown said. "We've got some good hitters and a strong pitching staff," said the second-year mentor. "Hopefully, we'll be strong defensively, too. "l tt:iink "1e can be competitive vyith everybody on our schedule. But that means ot:1r veterans are gping to have. to carry the burden." Last year, the veterans came through for Brown in his coaching debut at PSC, finishing.with an H~-17 ledger. Eight letterwinners ·a'hd six starters returned for Peru State. scheduled· to open the 1990 campaigi:i and a new decade .of softball Tuesday (March 6) at Wayne State. The Lady Bobcats' strength, ·Brown said, will be pitching. Peru State returns its entire · staff from last season, including right-handers Erin O'Grady~ Kri?ti Deleeuw, and Ondy Grossman. O'Grady, .. a senior from Council Btuffs, IA. finished 7-9 last spring. with a 2.43 earn~d run-average.

Brown said sophomore Teresa Frye will get the nod at shortstop, and senior Ann Masters will move from the outfield to take second base. "I think Bridget is one of the better third basemen in the District," Brown said of the McCook, NE. native. who was second on the team last year in batting «.346) and hits (37). "Kristi will be a great player as well now that she's going to play more regufarly at first." Deleeuw, a second-team AllDistrict pick last season who led Peru State with 23 runsbatted-in, rotated between pitcher, catcher, and first base.

A key to the Lady Bobcats' success, Brown· says, will be staying healthy.

"Last year we didn't have anybody hurt all year. That's the way it has to be this year, too." iii

Committee Additional by Cathie English On the heels of the athletic fee addition to student fees comes the recommendation of yet another fee. Computer committee members Dr. Victor Ferre . .Dr. Daniel Holtz, Mrs. Gail Hytrek, Mr. Mark Fegan, Mr. Kevin Cosgrove, and Mrs. Linda Staples, have recommended a computer fee to raise funds to employ computer lab .coordinators and lab assistants. Dr. William Snyder, vice president. said that student fees at PSCare well belowthose of other colleges. According to the PSC 89-90 catalog, the student center fee. programs fee and health fee total $63:50 for a semester. According to the 88-89 catalogs of Kearney State and Wayne State, the comparable fees total approximately $75 and $160, respectively. At UNI,.., accord~ ing to the 89-90 catalog, the university program and facilities fees are $1 24 for students taking 7 credit hours \or more. T~ UN L catalog also stated there ~ere other special lab and special services fees. Dr. Snyder said the new

He stated, "We would hire three peep.le to manage and' supervise the computer labs; the two labs in T J Majors and the lab in the Hoyt 5cie(1Ce Building." He said that in addition to the managers. the college would hire lab assistants. Snyder added that students would be hired for these positions and that the managers could possibly do an internship. Snyder said that having managers and lab .assistants would increase accessibility to the computers. "l he labs would be open four hours on Saturday and Sunday ... plus be open every evening." He said that it will be ir,;iportant to keep the labs open because freshmen will begin taking composition classes on tt1e computer next fall. Snyder said. "Rewriting on word processors makes it easier for students to use the best method for writing. so we will feel more pressure to keep the Jabs open."

Maturity In Question

Students' Right to Vote Challenged by Merri Johnson For anyone who has not yet heard the news, the voting age is about to be raised. to 35. Or maybe 66 would be better. That's how old State Sen. Lorraine Langford is. and she seer.is to be Nebraska's resident expert on the topic of when individuals become mature enough to have voting privileges.

excu-u-u-se me! I'm 37, and I'm still in the process of raising my children. I can't wait to finish the job and automatically become as wise as the Senator. It's true tha.t parenthood gives one a perspective that non pa rents.· can't fully appreeiate. But many people never have children. Is their judgement forever impaired?

According to Langford, supporters of student voting rights are all about 25 years old, and presumably still. wet behr,,d.the ears~· Langford went on record last month ag<:iinst giving student representatives on the State College Board of Trustees the power to vote in their posts. According to Langford. supporters of student voting rights are all about 25 years old. and pre§urhabty still wet behind the ea r~ct( . She vJrote off the supporters' arguments with such sage remarks as. "They haven't raised children." Well,

The Senator's futher assertion that the "18-20 yearold prob9bly makes the worst decisions in the world," is a tad unfair. I don't know if any research exists documenting the relationship of age to bad decisions, but there is plenty of evidence in the news that increased age doesn't equate with smarts: the S & L failures, the Iran-Contra scandal, and the national debt are not the fault of 18-20 year-olds. Langford appears to be a victim of youth phobia. One would think' the issue here is giving complete control of our campuses to the student body. We're talking about one student on . a six-member boan:if. one student the caliber

She holds responsible positions in addition to that of student representative on the Board of Trustees; she also serves as a voting member of PSC's Student Senate and is currently state president of Phi Beta Lambda, the business student fraternity. I agree with the Senator that having an odd number.of voting boa rd members is preferable to an even number that could result in deadlocks. But a better solut;ipn to that problem would be to add another member. Senator Langford has. already apologized for insulting students by het: remarks. Now she should go one step farther Jnd admit the lack of logic in her own reasoning.

They have done a greatjob of walking on the sidewalks instead of the grass and .. have treated our campus like the beautiful place it is. There is only one problem: the residence halls. The residence halls are sometimes vandalized· by students who think it's a "great gag" or"a lot of fun." Well. why not? It's not going to hurt them if the legs are broken off a couch in <:of' loung·e, or many of the easily accessible" ·c1~fng supplies ar;e ignorantly wasted, right? Thisl is entirely incorrect. What the majority of the students living in residence halls don't realize is that, although Peru State College is state-funded, the residence halls are not. Every semester, during fee payment week, students pay various costs such as the Student Center fee, food service meal plan. and health . fee. Among these are the dorm fee and deposit. For those of you who don't know. these two fees pay for the residence halls; the state of Nebraska does not.

When a window is broken or similar vandalism occurs. the students responsible feel that they are getting away wtth something becaus19 they don't have to pay for what they've done. This is a misconception common among students. The' reality is: in the long run, they are paying for it. Actually all.<t)f the dorm residents pay forjt;, Statistics show that. P~C exhausts a large sum of monE?Y ea~h year for dorm main~en;c, . afilce.

So, in light of the fa...:ts,· the· only solution is that students should take resi ionsibility for their actions. With this in mind. studen.ts must make a conscientious effort to help upkeep the dorms. and thus reduce the cost of residence lif'.e.

From The. Other Side Of The Desk... · by Kent Propst

Today's lesson is on "organization." ·· Now, those of you who know me will ask--and rightly so-"What the heck does he know about being organized?" A valid question, since my office on a good day looks like an· advertisment for the Fire Hazard Hall of Fame. Some of the finest custodial staff around have struggled mightily, only to be defeated by a force beyond comprehension: The Propst System of Organization. ·.. It's an incredibly simple plan,. really, and one that might even • work for you. (If it !;:Ices, I suggest you seek professional help immediately). · The secret, in a word: stacks. Kent Propst The key is stacks of materials cnat have a similar theme. Forget the old inbox/outbox plan, or file cabinets. Just get lots of de,sk and table space, and start stacking, · "Diabolically clever," you say. ~'But how does it work?" ,, "Work?", I reply incredulously. "You mean it's s'posed to work? l thoughtjust having a plan was a triumph." · Actually, somefimes it does work. (Well, okay, maybe no:t--but itmight!). I walkintb my office in the morning, anxious to get to work. (I'm one of those bizarre and rare "morning people.") ~gerly. I eye my sfacks. I get into my. "blank notebook'' stack and get one out. Then I get into

my"black" or blue-ink pen that actually works" stack and grab a writing utensil. I then dive (sometimes literally, if it's big enough) into a stack. It doesn't matter which one. I carefully search through all the materials in the stack, r:naking a random list of "things to do." When finished, I get another blank piece of paper from my appropriate, aforementioned stack, and revise that "things to do" list into a "things to do in order of priority" list. I do the same thing to each and every stack. When I'm done, I have between 11 and 39 "things to do in order of priority" lists, depending on the ryumber of .stacks on my desk. (Obviously, I have fewer stacks on hand when the State Fire Marshall is around campus.) Since my desk and table are always covered with stacks, I take my lists someplace else (now ·that I'm in an. office with. no carpet, my tile floor works fine), and make my famous "Comprehensive, in order of priority, things to do list." By this time, it is usually about 2:10 p.m .. and I am exhausted. So. I call in my secretary anc;I say."Jackie, what do I need to get done today?" She tells me. I do it. · This system is efficient staff ..

Not ·Required

by Gene Engel The grass is getting green, the birds are singing, the flowers are beginning to emerge, and a young person's thoughts turn to,_·_ _ _ __ You don't need a c 1.:>Jlege degree to fill in that· blank. The problem is not the answer. The problem is. "How fulfilling a relationship \II/ill I be able to have?" By reviewing 'j:he resu.lts of our recent survey, we might be al::S!.e to give you a few clues as to whether your expectations \llfill be met. If you are a female and hoping to find a male that doesn't presently drink, yoµ pave .a one-in-three i:hanc.e of finding Mr. Right. If you're a male, you have one•in·two chance of finding Ms. Nice. If you would like to have a relationship with Mr, Moderate, you'll have a one-in~three chance of finding him,. and for you guys, the chances are the same of finding Ms. Middle-of-the-Road. If y9u're looking for a challenge in your mate selection, and you're female. you have a one-in-three chance. of finding Mr. Problem,· and for you fellows. it's a one-in-five chance.

The problem is compounded with alcohol. This predisposed condition makes you susceptible to seek out the more challenging type affiliation. People· that come from homes where "better living through chemistry" was.the rule, generally believe that they have the capacity of cause, contrpl and cure a person's dependency, none of which is true. They've been taught that living on the. edge is the norm, aQd they seek out that type of partner. A friend of mine describes an. alcoholic relationship this way, "We don't have relationships, we take hostages. and come in heat. from time to time." . If you were raised in a dysfunctional home. and don't want to carry that baggage into the family that you hope to develop, there is help available. Yes, we do have an equcation and prevention program on campus, and there is something you can do. It is in your power to break the cycle, and you can experience all of the folfowing promises ... You'll know a new freedom and happiness. you'll not I/egret the past nor wish to shut the door on it, you'll compreheod the word serenity. your' whole attitude. and· outlo.o~· on, life. will . cha~ge and you'll intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle you. Special note of a si>eaker to be on campus Tuesday, April ·10 at 11 a.m. in the Live Oak Room: Ann Hoschler, domestic violence counselor for the YWCA in Omaha, will share with you the effects. of violence in the home.

Trustees Give Approva.I SENATE ~EVIEW .

Lo.wer tuition rates for top out-of-state students attending PSC and higher room and board rates for on-campus students were okayec;I March 16. The Boa ~d of Trustees of the Nebraska State Colleges approved both programs du.ring their regular monthly meeting; held in Lincoln. The average hike in room rates at PSC is 5.38 percent, while the meal plan increase averages 7. 1 7 percent. Returning students living in PSC residence halls will not face increases because PSC has a staggered rate allowing continuing students to pay the same rate they paid when first coming to PSC. For example. a cur.rent freshman paying $560 per semester to live in W.N. Delzell Hall will pay that same rate

next year. An incoming freshman next fall will pay $605 for the same room.

Trustees okayed a nonresident scholars program for Peru, Wayne and Kearney State O:>lleges for next fall. Oiadron State. has had such a program for the past .'two years. Under the plan. students from states adjoining Nebraska and who meet one or more of . three criteria can attend PSC for resident <in-state) tuition rates. The Board heard a report from Dr. William Snyder, PSC vice president, on the newly revised general education program, which contains new requirements for a bachelor's degree. Trustees gave their okay to Dr. Gal!entine's request to seek proposals from architectural

firms forthe·renovation of Eliza Morgan Residence Hall, PSC's on-campus women's dormitory. Peru officials ar'e hoping to completely renovate and modernize the 60 yeat-old facility within the next two years.

Dr. Gallentine reviewed · recent . activities on the PSC campus, including Women's History Month events; the PSC High School Business Contest. which drew over 500 participants in February; and the. formation of a campus recycling committee. He also mentioned Febr- · uary's Piano Extravaganza. involving over 90 area pianists; basketball coach John Gibbs' charity free throw event; and the presentation of 13 papers by PSC science students in professional journals and/or meetings.

The tournament has seen tremendous success in .the past few years, growing from only about 60 entries to almost· 300 each of the past two years. The s1..1ccess has come from involving businesses in. the tournament. Tw0 years .ago the fraternity sought donations from local businesses for weekly prizes for high game and high series for men's and women's competition. Something new this year: id; a $25 cash prize for overall high game and high seriesJn the first w~ek

·of competition. 9-pin tournament rules make it easier to ge,.t higher scores. A strike can be obtained the traditional way or by, knocking. · down nine pins on the first ball. Another difference is that the bowle"'never has to pick up a split: A split on the first ball is automatically scored as• a spare. The tournament is held in cooperation with· Aub.urn Lanes. The tournament started on March 31, and runs for five straight weekends, ending on April 29. Bveryone \s invited to Auburn Lanes to join in the fun.

Person of the Week by fvlerri Johnson Kim Vrti!?ka 's Stu ent Senate colleagues awarded him the Senate sCholarship for dedk:ation at its recognition"' banquet fV1al'\:h 28. ThE! outgoing Senate viCe president is a worthy recipient· qf the honor.

KimVrtiska The Senate vice president is automatically chairman of student programs committee, and that means a lot of behindthe-scenes work. Spring Fling Week in March was his biggest challenge, Vrtiska .says. He estimates that he spent 40 hours th21t week' alone on program committee activities. And those 40 hours didn't include the time he put into soliciting monetary support from area merchants for .the week's events. Vrtiska doesn't come across as the. high-powered, takecharge type, but he gets results. His individual efforts raised over $1 ,000 for t-shirts and door pri;zi:!s. as well as free pop and· snacks for the .Clul: Coca-Cola dao:e:

·Even during the "off weeks," it wasn't unusual to find Vrtiskci spending 20-25 hours per week. planning other events. like the !::mmy .Gifford Road Show. basketball tournaments and noon-time magic sh0ws. Admittedly, some of his drive comes from a need to. be "on the move all the time." He may ha~ acquired that trait from his parents .. His father, Floyd Vrtiska. farms near Table Rcx:k and serves in appointive positions on numerous boards. ·His mother, Doris, is village clerk and a former teacher. Public service could be in his future. Vrtiska'" hints, although right now the senioreducation/ coaching major is preparing to teach at the elementary leveL ·He will student teach next fall. Vrtiska originally came to PSC on a track scholarship, Unfortunately, the track program was dropped the next year for lack of funds. The situation was so bad, he says, "We looked like ragamuffins when we went to meets" in uniforms that didn't match. Not surprisingly, Vrtiska supports the recently recommended athletic fee as a necessary means of attracting more students. He says PSC's lack of athletic programs and facilities is not the norm, and PSC is disadvantaged because of it. Vrtiska's honesf appraisal of PSC's shortcomings. demonstrates his ability to serve with dedication and still · r.'laintain objectivity. It is an ability that will serve him well in his career goals.

Paulson hitting .322 this season, did not play but was present on crutches for PSC's March 27 15-9, 7-0 losses to Bellevue College at the Auburn Legion Field. In his· place, Wyczawski platooned junior Ken Hatten, a starting pitcher, and sophomore Olad Erickson. normally a' pinch-runner specialist. The.two combined.to go O-for-5 against the Bruins with four;. strikeouts. Paulson is a key hitter in the Bobcat lineup, usually hitting clean-up or fifth. We've had a little adjusting to make," Wyczawski said. ,,'I've moved Todd Merical into the No. 4 hole, and Bret Fritch, who had been hitting seventh or eighth, has been moved into the No. 5 hole. "Because he (Paulson) has only beer:i out for a short while, it's hard to tell whether we'll stay the same or shuffle some more." ' Although Paulson has struggled somewhat this season offensively, Wyczawski said the BObcats will still miss his bat. As a freshman, Paulson was a pleasant surprise when he hit .376 in 31 games, and scored 26 runs.

Errors·· Cost Cats Wins The PSC baseball team picked up a couple of wins over spring break to move their record to 5-7 as of March 24. The BObcats went 1-3 during a four-game series with School of the Ozarks (Point Lookout, MO) on March 21 and 22 and earned a double-header split with St. John's (MN) University on March 18. During two games with College of the Ozarks on March 22, the Cats rallied to score four runs in th.e top half of the seventh inning to post a 9-8 win in the night cap. De~ignated hitter Steve Shaw drove in two runs with a base hit, while second baseman Shawn Semler and centerfielder Kevin Heller both supplies RBI singles to highlight the PSC comeback.

"We had some pretty good pitching ou.t of a number of different guys," he said. "Ken Hatten did a nice job. He only walked two and was around the strike zo.ne the whole time." Wyczawski also said Mike Fitzpatrick did a nice job of pitching and that Rich Huff threw resonably well too. In the games with St. John's, PSC won the first game 8-4, while the Johnnies claimed the nightcap 13-4 at Auburn Legion Field. In the first game. shortstop Darrell Berry sparked a four-

Procrastinators Meet The Challenge by Dawn Bowsman To put off intenti,ehally and habitually. Sound familiar? That's what Webster•s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary defines procrastinate as. My mom calls it laziness. I call it ~hallenging. For one thing, challenging sounds better than the other two, and if you think about it, it's true. Anyone cm1 write two ten-page term papers. write 20 summaries of .20 different magazine articles; write and gi.,1e.eight five-minute speeches. and,.in the meantime, do all of the regular weekly homework in four months. but it takes skill, brains, !'md experience to do all of the above in just three week~. That's only 10 short days to us procrastinators because we never study on the weekends. "How do procrastinators do it?" you may be asking. The answer is easy; it's the stress.• the. pressure, the all-night study sessions that get the procrastinator's blood pumping and adrenaline flowing. · Waiting to the last minute brings out the competitor in all of us. We're racing against the clock. trying to get our work in at the last possible second. Now some of you may be thinking that procastinators are just being dramatic, just wanting others' sympathy, and you may be right, Ylfho's to say that Tom Cruise or Elizabeth Taylor weren't procrastinators in their college days? Great actors may have become actors because of their ability to play up an upcoming deadline. · I know, not everyone who is. a procrastinator is going to be the next John Wayne. but procrastination can be used in many different occupational fields. . In the business world, for example, your boss may ask you to plan a meeting or dinner party with only a day's notice. A normal person would panic, but not the procrastinator; hejust says "no problem." Procrastination can be helpful in daily life too. When income tax time rolls around.• the procrastinator doe.sn't have to spend two months in advance worrying about the return; the procrastinator just waits and worries about it in orye all-night session. College is the perfect place to develop procrastination. What other time in your life can vou do four months' worth of work in just two months, twice a year? November and April are the procrastinator·s time to snine. Procrastination is an art that needs to be 'nurtured to its fullest extent. Proqrastinators need encouraging just like everyone else. so if you know a procrastinator, give them some attention and who knows, you may just be helping out the next Marlon Brando or Jimmy Stewart.

Athletes Want Allowance· Raise by Phil Davidson On many fall >Saturday afternoons. Memorial Stadium in ·uncoln, NE becomes the thi~d-largest ·city in the state. Why? The Cornhuskers are playing, and when they play, thousands of people pay good money to watch. This.is true at every ·major:- 'college in. the United States and to a lesser degree at all colleges. When was the last time you attended a collegiate sporting event? Students at PSC have a wide variety of options when choosing a spectator sport. In the fall there is football and volleyball. In the winter. basketball, and in the spring the~e is baseball and softball.· So whatever the time of year, there are always student athletes co'mpeting. Success at a sport usually takes a year-round effort. When you throw in academics, student athletes are left with little free time. especic:illy when their sport is in season.

school year, but those students not engaging in extra· curricµlar. activities, have the opportunity to find a job to help supply their spending funds.. True, most athletes d.o get some kind of scholarship to help pay for tuition, board and books, bl,lt.after that t(ley are left to fend for themselves. Some athletes can rely on parents for cash, but often 'parents can't afford to give them much money, leaving th.em in a difficult situation. All students need money for things like. laundry, supplies, shampoo, etc ... as well a::s an occasional date, movie, late·night snack or some new : clothes. If a student athlete doesn't have the money for ; these things, he can choose i one of two options: He canjust ' miss out on this part of the college experience, or he ·can borrow from a friend, but if he does thi.s he will eventually end up having to repay the loan With v0hat? ·.

Perilous Parking J.?roblem by Dave Schoonover There is an issue at Peru State ~ith Which I am very upset. It is the condition of the parking lot at the Centennial Complex. It's an adventure just to get a parking spot. ]'Jow the parking lot I'm talking about is the so-called gravel parking lot. The first problem is wt oen l enter the .lot. There c:ire several major "bumps" that nearly send my head through the roof of. the car. Then I have to be careful not to drive over the pipe sticking out the mi.ddle of the ground. I had a flat tire earlier this semester and that pipe is the prime suspect. If I'm lucky enough to. get past the pipe I make sure to look out for the mini-ver;;;ion of the Grand

Canyon. These holes are too big to Cdll holes. They're huge pits and they could seriously damage a car. Then there's the fact that the Jot is always muddy. The presence of mud.is not actually life-threatening, but hey, who wants mud all over the outside of their car,' the inside of their car .. not to mention all over themselves? My solution? Very simple. Pave the damn things, It will solve all those problems. plus it will help keep the dorms a lot Cleaner. People won't be tracking mud in al( .th.e time. So plea· .e, Administration. put cement down on the parking lot. Put blacktop down. Put anything down.

Censorship vs. Expression by Lisa Connolly "Warning: May contain explicit lyrics descriptive of or advocating one or more of the follow,ing; nudity, satanism, suicide. sodomy. incest. beastiality, sadomasochism, adultery, murder. morbid violence, or any deviant sexual conduct in a violent context, o.r the use .of illegal drugs and alcohol. Parental Advisory." Th!-; may ·soon be seen on certain albµm covers if a piece of federal fegislation. Bill 1406,becomes law. Is this right? ls it going against the Fircst Ammendment Right provided for us in the Constitution? The bill states that a large fluorescent yellow sticker with the warning cited above in bold black print will be placed on the front cover of compact discs, records and tapes containing such materials .. I'll admit, some albums are demented and offensive. But the yellow sticker is too general and could give false ideas to the person buying the albums. If anything, having the sticker on the albums will encourage one to buy them to see how bad they really are.

Bill 1406 won't stop people from buying these albums, and it definitely won't stop all the bad things from happening in the world today. Music can't be blamed for someone's actions. If someone is going to smoke.a joint or kill another person. it"s not beca.use they listen2d to Gun's Roses or 2 Live .:rew. People control their own lives. The , next thing you kr;ow. ,everyone's favorite '?c')g commercial will be. 1:n. television ...

I'm n~t admitting that l live for this type of music, but I do believe people have the nght to play what they want. If albums by Bon Jovl. Easy-E or Ozzy Osbourne start getting banned, what's next? Laws ha;ve already banned certain books that have great impressions on American literature. Where does it all stop? If you don't like what you are hearing, all you have to do is.turn it off~ Freedom of expression. freedom of art, that is what it is all about.

Earth Day ...

Jump on the Ecology Band Wagon With Earth Day right around the corner and every politician and environmentalistjumping on the ecqlogical band-wagon, it isn't hard to understand the excited response of every concerned citizen in the world. And world involvement is what is called for by those who wish to save our planet. But save the planet at what cost? / It is well and fine to say that the smog encircling our cities is bad for our health. We all have heard the rhetoric about clean air acts, industrial emissions. and smog alerts. It also comes as no surprise that automobile exhaust fumes, chemical. toxins. and industrial wastes are equally significant in the pollution of our planet. Yet to change our world 9vernight 'is a feat even the .most talented bureauc.ratic magician cannot accomplish. If, one is to believe John F. McManus, spokesman for the John Birch Society, it is not only' improbable. but impossible, as well. According to the Bi.rch Society's viewpoint, it is inconceivable to inconvenience anyone for the sake of improving the environment. They swear it is all a plot aimed at eventual global control. The Society spouts facts and figures of pollution emissions analysis. both natural and man-made. And they tell their readers that even if the reports were factual and regulations were followed to the letter. it would make little if any difference in the ozone layer or breathable air contaminant content. · The environment,.according to the Society. can't have precedence over such things as industrial productivity or progress. And we must have progress, no matter the cost to our environment. Then, on the other hand, you have the other side of the ecological coin. This includes the enviro.nmentalists who watch-dog industries and protest nuclear facilities. They try to change a lifo·time of bad habits and mismanagement by those who want to.make a buck without the hassle of fol owing new governmental guidelines. The sanctions imposed upon the industries make it even more difficult to continue "business as usual" in. an already volatile ()"larket place. With job losses due to plant closings, it's a "no win" •:m:uat1on: I he real losers are the very people· the sanctions ah· meant to protect. It qecorries increasingly difficult to understand the actions of these activists, when you can no longer provide the nece»sities ot life for yourself and family. This is not to say that environ()"lental issues should be ignored. On the contrary. they are most lmporti;lnt to all of us. But perhaps a tempering of demands should be in order. The "planet before an" idea is a little too radical in its idealism for most of us to live with. A more realistic approach might be more acceptable t,0 an eagerly awaiting public. William Safi re, a New York Times cohJmnist, came up with an interesting five-point plan that bears looking at. (The complete plan can be seen on page t3 of the Tuesday, April 17 edition of the Omaha World-Herald.) It goes something tH,e this: 1. If it doesn't trigger a depression. ease up on the carbon dioxide. 2. D· velopment by otl'\,er countries needs to take place, and our owntlife styles need to be protected. 3. l'he "Green Seal" of approval may not be the best ideology to follow unquestioned aod unchecked. 4 .. Put a higher value on growth than on limitation. Suicide by self'-strahgulation is never a good idea. People live on this planet, too. ! ' · ·

After much consideration, I have come to the Conclusion that. Earth Day, for the most part, is a good idea. Yet. l also believe a tempered plan of action needs to be implemented to reduce the pollution problem and protect the land, sea and air of our precarious little blue ball. It is inconceivable to expect anyone to return to the cave-man existence demanded l:)y "nyironmentaf extremists. It is equally troublesome to swallow the Birch .Society's "damn the torpedos; full speed ahead" line of thinking. Temper the two, and you Cl.rrive at a happy medium that most of us could live with. Finally. I think it is importantto realize that pollution is,apersonal ite()"l. Each of us can do our part to improve our surrounding areas: Dispose of ·waste properly. instead of trashing the highway~ Insist on paper bags at the grocery store, instead of meekly accepting the plastic one. Use cloth diapers, instead of disposables. Use chemicals wisely on our lawns., gardens and in farming. Use organic farming as often as is feasible to do so. Be aware of those companies that refuse to comply with environmentally safe practices, and boycott their products until compliance is met. There is a lot that can be changed by each of us· doing our own part. The Earth belongs to all of us. It takes all of us to make it a good place to live. Edi~ors

Miracles ... '

One Happened Today by Troy· Sedam Dr. Holtz sent me out to do an editorial i::olumi;i. I.had never done one before and thought it would be a miracle if I got it done, which made me sta.rt to think. how many miracles we.have seen in the last schoolyear. · The top one I can think of is the falling of the &erlin Wall. I never thought I would see that in a peacetime era.-;;which leads to another miracle I didn't think I'd see. Russia losing grips on its own people. It makes me think how' quickly and broadly the world can change in a short time. Another miracle is, I can't seem to recall a terror,ist act on a U. s. citizen in the last six months. And who would've believed.that four Mutant Ninja Turtles would be a box office .success, We have also provei;i .a person can actually.surV'ive <;In cafeteria food for nine month$.'ln the d~rms the water was fil'Ced in Delzell. and only a few short weeks after we came back for second ~emester.

It's also a miracle h¢w d.umb some people. can be. I think PSC should invest in a boxing club or something on that or;der so tht:,l vandals on campus will have some place to go to work off their frustrations. Spring is finally back, bringing u.s new singing birds ano millions of multicolored blossoms. Every sp'ring brin~s new mirac;les; one happened today. I did get my editorial column done. Now I have to work on.another miracle, my grades. · ·

A. Vibrant Method· by Laura Winegardner The Cooperative Vocational Education program, gives students a chance to utilize and experience his/her skills in a job-related situation. "You never know where the opportunity lies," said Ted Harshbarger, director of the program. The CVEprogram isa vibrant method in training and support. · students who are employed with a ·business or in a job relating to their major field of study can apply for college credit.. A student is entitled to register for one to 12 credit hours of the internship, towards graduation. For:ty total hours of work equals one I credit hour. I Divisional coordinators are there to explain the proQram to students and to help students! find jobs. ' i

In a recent interview. Harshbarger said, "Currently 43 placements ..have been · secured. The pr<)gram's goal is to place 85 students )n. a job related to their ·major within a ye;ar." · Applications for enrollment are accepted from second semester sophomores, juniors and seniors. "A student can register anytime. and campus residency is not required," said Schwartz. A student interested in the · internship. program needs to. talk with his/her divisional coordinator. The divisional coordinators are Robert Lewellen (Business, TJM 238), Oarence Eash (Science and Technology, IA Lab), Larry Brown <Education and Physical Education, Majors Hall 216), and .Donald Schwartz <Humanities, FA 106).

by Merri Johnson The PSC Science Division has produ.ced another notable student in freshman biolo·gy major Andrea Brown. Brown won the $500 first place prize in the third. annual American Mosquito Control Association research competition, held· in conjunction with the Associatior)'s annu.al convention in Lexingtc:>n, KV earlier this month.. Fellow stuclent, .senior Ellen Kruger, placed second.

Andrea Brown Judging criteria included not only the technical quality of the research. but the poise and "vigor for science"

demonstrated by the contestant. Those last two qualities are readily apparent as Brown dis. cusses her 120-plus hours spent identifying the physical characteristics or Culicoldes ·paraensis. That's MM fly to you and me. 11iis species of. fly is much more. than a household pest in 'BF-azil and other South American countries, says Brown, where it transmits oropo~che virus to humans. The virus generally produces flu-like symptoms that recur intermittently for weeks and may also be linked with some forms of meningitis. Brown explains ·that her research is designed to determine if two separate species of the fly exist .. If so, she says, medical entomologists in . South America could use the. information to develop control measures. Brown's scientific prowess seems a paradox considering h.er youthful age of a mere 18 .. lri fact, she

began· the research on the sand fly project while still in high school in Auburn. She focused .on a medical career at an early age, and enrolled at PSC with the intention of going on to pharmacy. school. But under the mentorship of Ors. Larry and Carol• Pappas. PSC biology and science professors. she is now leaning toward entomology. Brown ~ys.

Aside from her part-time job at the Clothesline in Auburn, Brown concedes that she joins in few ·activities outside her studies. "Spending all my . time doing research'' leaves little time for anything else, she says. It is so consuming, she even dreams about the lab. It will take a lot of stamina to pursue those dreams into graduate school, "a given," Brown asserts with a smile. The evidence so far indicates that she is up to the challenge.

He'll be leaving the program in trusted hands, as his wife Ann, will pick up where he's leaving off.

Actually. the assistant geography professor won't really be "leaving" anything except the rigors of full-time teaching. He will continue to teach geology classes at PSC-about one class each semester, he anticipates. When asked what he'd miss most in his retirement, he answered, "l really won't miss anything." "I wili stiil have contact with students, and l'll be handling the geology area--that's rec:i!ly my specialty," he s·aid.

Pitcher Boosts Team •••

Left-Hander Leads Cats Peru State College rookie pitcher Scott Kohout is quickly coming of age. Last week, the freshman left-hander was the winning pitcher in a 15-5 victory over perennial District power Kearney State. Wednesday, the. Cortland, NE. native tossed a three-hitter to power the Bobcats to a 4-1 victory over Bellevue College in the . first game of a double header at Bellevue East High s, hool. "Scott h. 1s done a real good job for us this year," said Peru State Coach Paul Wyczawski. "And, he's getting better each time out." "I don't think he was quite as sharp against Bellevue as he was against Kearney. Still, he competed very w_ell out there and got 1h.em out in key situations when it counted." Kohout worked out of an early second-inning jam whe~ the · Bruins put runners at first and second with only: one out. He quickly retired outfielder Jarron Bradley on an infield pop up with just one pitch and catcher lim Bilyeu on a fly out to rightfield. The Bruins l!fft two more base runners in the third when Kohout got Billy Smith on a fly out to left field, and designated hitter Doug Baugh on a line drive shot to third base. But Bellevue picked up its' lone run of the contest earlier in the frame when Geary Taylor walked with one out, stole second, and scored on lim Stutheit's RBI.single. From then on, Kohout limited the Bruins to just. a single by Robbie Reed, who collected two of BC's three hits, over the final four innings. Kohout, a graduate of Norris High School, overcame a seasonhiuh eight walks, induding four to Taylor, the lead-off hitter. The Bobcats g •Ve Kohout the offensive support he needed in the .sixth, pushing across three go-ahead runs off loser Don Lasso, · 4-3 .. Leftfielder Wit Raftery, a Legion teammate of Kohout's last Y· •a:r, rapped an RBI single to make it 2-1. First baseman Todd Mel'ical followed with a sacrifice fly, and center'fielder Kevin Heller pok.ed an RBI single for the other two runs. K(.)hout, who entered the contest with a 6.87 earned-runaverage CERA), struck out three in improving his record to 3-2. Peru State's victory paid back thi= Bruins in part for their 15'-9 7• 0 sweep back on March 27 in Auburn. It also moved the Bobcats' District record to 6-6 overall, including a 4-2 mark in the first games. "~fter the game he was feeling pretty good about beating

them," Wyczawski said of Kohout. "My c .. mment to him was to exp~ct himself to throw like that every time out, notjust against . goocj team'5." "He has the capability i o win games , if he can continue to impr;;ove from game to game." The Bobcats, who dropped the nightcap 8-5; are 11-13overall.

For Head Softball Coach Larry Brown, the 1990 season has been turning out about how he expected. With a nine win ·seven loss record as of April ·10, he was pleased with what had been happening with his team. "We are. doing better now than we were at this time last year," Brown noted. "That's what you hope for, constant improvement." Commenting about the team's standing after 14 garnes, Brown felt the greatest str.ength was batting. Statistics backed up his da1m, showing fciur players with a . 300 plus batting average. Bridget O~Ni;?ill led the Lady Cats at that time with a .385. Following closely were. Kim Horsham-.362, Diane Pokorny-.361 and Kristi De!e.euw~341 • _Brown explained that these averages are excellent for college softball.

·Learn To Keep Your Cool by Amy Snyder It's a tough job, somebody has to do it.

but

The role of disciplinarian on a college campus is a hard one to play. No matter what the setting, people never seem to take too kindly to those who monitor what is right and what is wrong. Despite the degree to which the accused reallyisatfault,he or she generally has at least a few words to say on his or her own behalf. And rightfully so. I mean this America, right? We all have the right to be innocent until proven otherwise. With some sense of dignity, we should all be allowed to present our case. Whether four-letter words more effectively get the point across is up to the individual, but generally a civil tongue gets you farther in the long run. But that's the law of common, everyday life. What about the life cif intramural athletes? Should these underrated, over-qualified, finetuned athletic machines be allowed a different type of treatment? . Should they be allowed to question the call of the referee just because their team· is losing? Can they .be qllowed to hold grudges and person;al vendettas against their fellow classmates who are reffing the game just to earn some work-study money?

Coach Brown recognized pitching as another strength. : Erin O'Grac:ly lec::i this category after 14 games with a win-loss . record of six and two. Brown

BIG BROTHER BIG SISTER PROGRAM Sign up for next year in the programs office.

Is it right to shout obscenities all the way from the Student Center to the science bµilding, just because they didn't agree with a call? Of course it is ! This is America. Freedom of speech and all that good stuff. Sur~. it's O.K. to fly off the handle and say things you don't mean in the heat of competition. Sure, it's .. fine to throw a· tantrum and make everyone stare at you. And sure. it's fine to hold a five-year grudge. But what good will it do? It might get you top billing in the campus gossip chain, it might get you a start on a good bleeding ulcer, and it might even get you a nasty personal in the Times. What it won't do for you is let your team have a good time and play the game, and it probably shoots your chances at the sportsmanship award. all to heck. · · So when you find yourself in a sticky situationandyouarejust about to lose you ever~present cool, please remember the following tips. Number one Count to ten before you start to mouth off:. (No it's not too original, but I have to supply some type of researched material before I really sfart to B.S.) Number two. Think seriously about how m~ich impact this

incident really has on ·the fuH scope of your life. If in two days you will have forgotten it, then chill out. If in two years you will still lose sleep over it, then seek some type of professional help: Number three; Think about your mom. She always told you not to pick fights. Besides, if she heard you cuss like that. she'd wash your mouth out. Number four. Put yourself in the shoes of the referee or umpire. Remember that he or she doesn't have any real reason to make a call against you, and if there is a real reason, think about what you did to cause it. You're probably lucky this is the bes:Et.hat could be done to get you.back. Finally, number five. Compliment yourself. If yo.u get this defensive about competition , you must think that you're pretty good. So tell. yourself. Say, "I'm really good. So good that with all . my natural-born talent and charm, I can easily overcome this misfortune. and win the . game despite my disadvantage." (If you can say this to yourself, you might want to consider th!;? second part of number two.) So just remember, without those offictals to umpir~ or ref the contest, there would be no intramural athletics. Now which ,would you rathe.r deal with, an unfair call or a nonexistent program?

The Times--Page 12 Continued from Page ·1

From. The Other Side Of Th.e Desk... by Leland H. Sherwood lam presently completing my fifth year, the second time around as faculty sponsor for the Student Senate, and wish to take this opportunity to reflect upon some observations. I continue to be impressed with the sincere efforts and dedication of students that donate their time to the college in filling ·leadership roles. These individuals, according to Paula Winkelman's categories of people in the March 16 issue of The Times, can truly be identified as "workers." They volunteer their time .• and work very hard on many projects in an honest effort to make the Dr. Leland Sherwood system work more effectively. Paula indicated that this service was usually without pay. I guess I disagree with her on this point. There may be no monetary reward for many of these efforts. however the intrinsic · values that result can be· seen over and over again. The personal .satisfaction that comes from seeing a joq· completed and well done, and the lasting friendships that develop are indeed rewarding-. l ha\,,:e observed individual concerns e~erge as a result of expressi~g strong leelings from botl)/~ides of an issue; then discussions and eventual compromises occur. This learning and growth is indeed another reward that is irreplaceable in building one's character. Senate members actively represent the students in many aspects of the system. I have watched them organize students by the bus load in an effort to make a forceful statement to the legislature. These efforts help to provide more diversity in programs, whether it be through increased funding for facilities, or as quality classroom experiences. They question legislators when increases in tuition or other direct monetary requests are being proposed. They initiate fund raising activities that assist indviduals and local campus projects; they welcome grandparents as part of their visit in the fall. They are cailed upon to . clean up after the homec.oming events are complete. To· n=:!peat, I am impressed with this dedication. lam sure many other students are just as involved in other organizations on our campus. and l hope everyone i.s part of this important aspect of college life. The old adage that on. 's education should not be limited to credit hours.completed or GPA seems ;:;tpplicable. My observations lead me to the conclpsion that all stud• ,nts can be rewarded if they look for and find.a campus organization to work for· and become part of. If you have not done so. why not give it some serious thought?

f.;;etter to the Editor...

Comn:iander Clears Up Fact Where Do All The Good Titnes Go? Dear Editor: I write this editorial not to di$agree with. the article, "ROTC BUilds Mc:>r:e Than Character," by Troy Sec;lam, but rather to clarify few of .the facts that. were garbted by the reporter. The facts. that are .incorrect are where. ·.. the program and instructors come from to teach the Classes. The program does not come from the Doane College system. It comes from the freighton .ROTC Department, whic.h received appr:;oval by the Department of .Army to hold classes on the Peru campus, although the Creighton ROTC Department does teach classes at Doane on Tuesdays.

Another fact that is incorrect is .where the instructors come from to teach the classes. The instructors· al.so come. from Creighton University. not .Crete. I ':>elieve Crete's ROTC program is taught by the University of Ne.bra·sk'aLincoln. The final correction that needs to be made is a spelling correction. For:;t Louis should be spelled Fort Lewis. Trust me, I should know because I spent six weeks from the past summer at that fine military · installation. Robert A. Stamps Cadet Captain, PSC Company Com~ander

Decidedl,y Non-Traditional Is Just the Right Thing for Joan by Joan Hazard I am a D.N.S. (Decidedly Non~Traditional Student). I'll acquire ju·•'tior status in May; I'll turn 62 in June. There are good things and not-so-good things about being D.N.S. as opposed to being a traditional student. ·A good thing is that my jeans need not be modish, and I don't have to shell out big. bucks for state-of-the-art athletic shoes. because nopne is going to note nor care what l wear. A not-so-good thing is that ar:thritis and chair/desks are nc compatible. I tend to atrophy in a sitting position after 50 minutes in one of the critters. Sliding out and straightening up in one fluid movement are wishful tbinking. ·1 must dawdle until the classmate on my left has decamped and, then, use the empty chair to lever myself out and up. •Another plus is that there' is no pressing need for me to participate in campus organizations, i.e.: Student Senate, English Club, etc., because a potential employer's being swayed by my involvement in campus activities is a truly remote possibility for a gra'cl9ate eligible for full Social Security benefits. But a minus is that l find myself becoming excited about newlyacquired skills and broadened knowledge, only to remember that employers ar:en't panting for people rnY age, so I will probably never h.3ve the opportunity to use my abilities with any marked effect. A long suit: Being a brideof40years1 lhavenoneedtobewhere the action is and am free to study during prime time wben young people need to be out mingling. Thus, I never wake to find that the night has fled while l slumbered on an open textbook. A short suit: I'm already steeling myself for the expression .on some young man's face wnen it falls his lot to be this grandmother's partner·in ballroom dancing. A positive: It is gratifying to verify that old dogs CAN learn new tricks just as well as pups can. A negative: It is sometimes downright awkward to antedate one's professors. ··, D; N.S. can also stand for Decidedly Not Sorry. And it does.' I am very glad I gathered my courage and came back to school.

by Mike McCOy fs it possible tha.t we could let a little over eight months slip by us this Ctuickly? Jt doesn't seem tha.t long ago that we were introducing ourselyes to newfound friends, or welcoming . back old ones from the summer. BUt already we find ourselves in the familiar groove of repeating the phrases "So W.hat are ya going to do this summer; Don't work to hard; Take care: or the ever popular, catch you later;" For some this summer brings graduation and the send-off into the, quote-unquote, real world. For most, however, it's another three-month break and back to the grindstone.

A Clear Crosswalk Is Needed Now by Martin Jacobsen A college student has just gotten.out of her last class for the week. Her last exam has been returned and she has ea.med an "A." She has a date on Saturday, and plans to spend Sunday with her parents in her home town. As she leaves for the day, her thoughts are happy and her hopesare high, But ... As she ·cross.es the .street that ~uns betwee~ the commuter parking lot and the main campus. she is struck by a car, and her thoughts, her dreams. .and her skull are shattered. When the driver of the vehicle is taken to jail, he is asked why he didn't stop for the .crosswalk. "What crosswalk?" he asks. "The crosswalk at the corner whe.re the. a.ccident occurred," he is told. Again, he responds, quite justifiably.· "What crosswalk?" Anyone. who has crossed the street ih question knows what I'm talking about.

RESUME

BOOKS A copy is available at each division secretary's desk for you to see. Because only 6 copies are left, please do not remove the book from her de5k. The resumes w4:lre voluntarily submitted by students, typed by Placement Office staff, printeq at Auburn Newspaper, colated and bound by Placement, and sent to 400 employers by Jane Tutt, an intern in the Placement Office.

PBL Elects· New Officers by Angela Bischoff . On April 26 the PB!.. chapter elected officers for 1990-91: Mike Harling, president; Brian Boyce, vice-preseident; Scott Hahn, fin~ncia.1 vicepresident; Jodene Glaesemann, secretary; Lisa Reeves, historian/parliarnentari9n; Angela Bischoff. public relations.

Job Hunting Tips for Seniors Linda Warre1'l, placement director, urges seniors to keep in touch with her office this summer to check on openirigs. Scores of openings come in qy mail every day, most of them on Mondays. The gradu<:ite should call (800) 742-4412. The Placement Office receives bulletins from other colleges. from other states, and from Omaha and Lincoln. The openings / are all published in a monthly newsletter, but often that information becomes old and the openings are gone by the time the newsletter arrives. Mrs. Warren encourages grads to keep her office updated on their summer address so employers can reach them. Employers often call and want resumes and.for credential files of all persons in a certain major. They may also ask that ref1=rences be read over the phone, or sometimes the FAX is used in emergencies. . Graduates can still establish a credential file in the Placement Office, AD 303, or simply leave a resume that can be copied and sent as employers request.

Juniors Get a Jump on a Job .The Placement Office is encouraging all juniors to pick up a packet in AD 303. The packet includes materials to start a credential file for written references from faculty and employers. Also included is the form that will be used for the Resurhe Book which is sent to 400 employers. · Because the Career Fair in Lincoln for all Nebraska college students is held in September, next year's seniors will want to have a. resume ready before fall semester starts. Information on resume writing is available in AD 303. Co'ioco (Dupont) has already set an interview date of Oct'. 8 for accounting majors. Employers will hire the best talent early and wait till May or June for them to begin work. Accounting juniors should send a resume to Placement by June 1 . Public firms interview as early as August or before, and only in the fall semester. The Placement Office will send the resumes to all firms in Omaha and Lincoln. Juniors should also consider enrolling in College 400, Career · Strategies, which meets at 1 p.m. on Wednesdays. Job hunting strategies are taught in this one credit h?ur course. Linda Warren, placement director, believes that if juniors get their "stuff" together before fall; their senior year will go much smoother.

The PSC Student Senate met on April H:iand 25. Senate voted to hold a .forum on April 24 to hear students' opinions on the proposed computer fee of $10.00. At the Senate meeting on April 25, Senate voted to support the computer fee. Also discussed at the meeting was the selection of next year's Homecoming theme. Senate voted on all the ideas submitted to narrow it down to the top three. These three selections were voted on by all students on April 30 and May 1. The new theme will be the top vote getter. Student representative to the Board of Trustees, Qndy Janssen, reported that the selection process for Board Representative got revamped and was presented at the Board meeting at Wayne or.

made t:o keep in to.uch with classmates. I remember all those plans that were. cut in stone. and how we were all going to be rich, and that now life was going to be O.K. I don't remember grieving for the loss of t.he college setting once. I didn't consider leaving the safety of that campus and those friends as a serious loss .. But it was, and I suFe did not

want to feel it, since · boys aren't suppose to cry. Now, I can see the unfinished business of· saying goodby~ and .thank you to friends and faculty. I now see how I was just like my neighbor's husband. We both abandoned loved ones for !i'~· centered, self-indulge Neither of us said good' both of us left b• unfinished. As lthinkback, lwasan<; my neighbor for imposing or 1 me and my family on my very special day. How pare someone not see my needs and drop all theirsjust so mine could be met. It took 20 more years of this 9ttitude for me to drive all away from me except my wife and two children. It was at this point that they said. "get help or get out," and I had no place to go. Drunks get to that point, and are the last to know it. The hope I have today is that you won't have to struggle as 1 did. I hope you'll take time. to finish yoyr "business" witt friends. classmates an. faculty .. It's O.K. to grieve the Joss at graduation time. It's 0.K. to fell those feelings and. to cry those tears .. l hope you'll remember that "True humility is not thinking of ourselves as small. Rather, humility is not thinking of ourselves at all." I wish you well in whatever endeavor you find yourself. l will leave you with one piece of information you should always remember: If someone's drinking or uses of substance causes one tEiar to roll down ·your cheek, then that person's use is a problem and1it needs to be looked at. Student Assistance office will be open this summer; if you need to talk. Have a good. safe and fun summer. See you in fall.

Responsible Acts .Now Benefit All of Us.Later E:y Amy

Snyder 11 The actions of some can indeed be felt by others. 'The majority of us, being students of .higher;. education, are able to relate to this concept. Since we were kids, we've all been told not to be selfish and have . at numerous times. been forced to obey the Golden Rule.

Bottom line is think before you act... But how does this apply to life at PSC? Recently something happened on campus that brought the ability of ·students to think before they act into question. Because a few people chose to attend and participate ir. intramural softball under the influence, the entire ·spring program almost met extinc- · tion. In a discussio.n with Intramural Coordinator, Patsy Shea, I found out tha.t at the beginning of softball season, empty cans and bottles were being dumped out the windows of vehicles and were. being left around the field and bleachers. As a result of this littering. Shea spent• time after the games cleaning up the mess students had left. Not only was

this an inconvenience for her, but citizens of Peru that live around the field also did not appreciate the trash.

Shea gets reassurance from the captains... In order to prevent a small problem from turning big, Shea called a meeting of all intramural softball team captains. She explained the dissatisfaction with students' behavior and debated whether or not to cancel the contests entirely. After getting reassurance from the captains that alcohol would no longer be brought to the fields by those participating, Shea decided to continue play.

The actions of a few can ruin it for everyone ... O.K. So we .lucked out and got a second chance, But what if Shea ha<;ln't wanted to let us try again? What if the actions of a few people had ruined the entire season for everybody? I think I know about 262 students who would have been very disappointed. The advice Shea gave was, "Use a little common sense

sense.wher1•¥ou go down there to play. '\fV.!a are usir;ig ci:t:Y, propert'{; c:ind.they are letting us useit for our benefit:" Granted. there is a time and pl;ace . where· the .. · mentioned behavior can be tolerated. However, when it begins to threaten campus activities and .the hard work that coordinato.rs and students· put into them. it's. time. to find somewhere'else to go.

Having fun should' be top priority•.. I guess the bottom line is that people need to think before they act. Despite the belief that having fun is top priority, first billing should actually be given to those around who might not· appreciate the outcome.

It's not a hard task. In fact it's kind of like anything else. If you do it for a while, it becomes sort of a habit, and then you don't have to think quite so much beforehand. Sogiveyourselfabreak. (not to mention those around you) and. give some thought to what you are doing. By thinking first·you can stilf'have fun, and so can everybody .else.

Kohout, Hatten Lead Bobcats PSC Sports Information What the PSC baseball team needs most at this time in the season is strong outings from its starting pitchers. Head Coach Paul Wyczawski said recently. That's exactly wl')at the Bobcats got from Scott Kohout and Ken Hatten against Midland-Lutheran College on April 18. The victories raised Peru State's record to 13-13 overall, 8-6 in District play, and 7-7 at home. It also marked the first time the Bobcats ha.ve reached .500 SI. nee March 1.9.

School held the Warriors hitless through the first three innings, and yielded Midland's only two runs on a Ryan Richarson homer int he fifth. The ·Bobcats ·lec:I 2-1 after three innings. then tacked on three more in the fourth to knock out Midland starter Ron Lund, 4-3. Centerfielder Kevin Heller, who had three stolen bases in the contest, drove. in a run on a fielder's choice. and scored on a double by catcher Bret Fritch.

Through graduatior:i or depletion of eligibility PSC will say goodbye to Erin O'Grady, I-Selly Tynon, and Ann Masters. All of these players have had a great impact during their playing years. At the end of regular season play, Masters brought a .271 b;::ittingaver<;1getotheteam. She also ranked third in team statistics in the assist
