Peru State opened the 1977- 78 year by adding 10 new faculty and staff members. This was the most the college added in several years. Added were Robert Gilliland, Anthony M. Rizzi, Robert Pettit, Susan Ellen Gladstone, David Pippert, Ruthe Lachelt, Nancy Emerson, Shari Hoelker, Richard Muth, and James A. Harney. The college is especially fond of its student-teacher ratio of approximately 18 to 1. The fac- ulty takes pride that the students are not just a number like they are at some larger institutions where the teacher-student ratio is much higher. 10 new faculty members added Each semester the students are asked to evaluate the teach- ers in their department. “We are paying our money to be taught a particular subject and the teacher evaluation system helps the students to be able to tell fac- ulty teachers about their weak- nesses and strengths,” said Mr. Koso, Falls City, Nebraska Soph- omore. The Faculty Association is a very helpful body in the college, since it helps through discussion to strengthen the curriculum. It also helps the faculty to become acquainted and to become friends. During 1977 the Natural Sci- ence Division changed division chairmanship. Turning over the reigns was Albert Brady to the new head David Pippert, who started teaching at Peru State in 1977. The other five departments saw the same division chairmen. John Barrett heads the Humani- ties Division, Jerry Joy the Physi- cal Education Division, Mike Land the Education Division, Leland Sherwood the Performing Arts Division, Dr. Lester Russell, the Applied Arts Division. Through the continuing efforts of these division heads Peru State College hopes to con- tinue to grow and prosper and continue to develop quality teachers, for which it has been noted throughout Nebraska. Its increase in faculty and staff in the areas such as Auto Mechan- ics, Plastics, Power Mechanics, and the Industrial Arts field will keep Peru State abreast of the continuing needs of Nebraska and America. student evaluation helpful
