getting somewhere.

The junior prire which has beeu
awarded to Mr. Sutterfield n
first made to the university tru."t
fund in 1929, by a person who de
sired to be known as a friend of
the university. H was prckented
in response to appeals for tangible
awards which might be given to
worthy and needy students. It was
awarded tor the first time a ycat

"What do I plan on doing when
I graduate from Nebraska? I
bave plans of going to the Massa

where I will take a cooperative.
After that I plan on taking up
construction work.
"One thing I have discovered,'
he continued, "is that I accom
plish more at school when I am
engaged in outside activities than
otherwise. During my first year
in school I did no outside work.
I find that I have improved my
scholastic record during the pant
two years when I have been en
gaged in other work. By having
a limited amount of time, I apply
a system, knowing that my time is
limited and cannot be wasted. In
this way I make the most of each
moment.
"I feel very grateful to the uni
versity for this reward. 1 appre
ciate the fact that my long houio
of study bave been noticed by the
university. The $100 prize can be
used very nicely," he finished with
a smile, "and it will fill many
needs."

tendent of the university.
The fire was discovered by Dr.
