To Be Saturday
Interviews for paid posi

to 12 a.m. in 439 Student Un

A blazing personality in his
own right and a journalist,
although it's not his major,
begins the description of this
year's student "outstanding
Nebraskan," Dick Basoco.
x Basoco, who counts presi
dent of Builders, associate ed
itor of the Cornhusker, vice
president of Sigma Delta Chi
and secretary of Theta
Xi among his activities, has
led a college life of deadlines
and enthusiasm for what he
thinks is right.
Queen ouggestion
As a columnist for the Daily
Nebraskan he was one of the
first to suggest that the Home
coming Queen should reign
over all Homecoming week
activities, rather than being
presented at the half of the
game.
Secret societies, activities
that were not doing their job,
actions at pep rallies all
these and more fell under the
fire of his pen as he offered
solutions to all campus prob
lems. ,
"One of the main thngs I
learned through writing the
column was to check every
thing before it appears in
print," Basoco said. "It's too
easy to let things slide by.
Anyone who writes has a ter
rific responsibility."
Basoc, as he is better
known, said he would label
two experiences of his col
lege career as outstanding.
These are the close feeling of
belonging to the University
gained by hjs Builders work,
and his Cornhusker work.
"Yon get to know those with
whom yon work in the 'cel
lar" as yon cannot in any oth
er activity," he said.
Sincerity rates as the great
est asset of a student
and campus worker, accord
ing to Basoc.
"No student should ever
lose sight of the primary pur
pose of college," he com
mented. "He must strive for
knowledge rather than grades

Looking deep...
into the nature of things
At the General Motors Research Laboratories, physidsts employ
radujactive isotopes and other ultra-modern techniques and tools
in thrir search fur new scientific knowledge and an understanding
cfthe many laws of nature thai continue to perplex mankind.
Although a lot depend on a man' ability, enthusiasm and
growth potential, there's every chance for advancement in
many fields for General Motors scientists and engineers. There's
virtually no limit to opportunity at CM. Fields of work are as
varied radioactive isotop research, ( astronautics, auto-
mobiles, aircraft engines and inertial guidance systems
to mention but a few.
If you wish to pursue postgraduUe studies, CM offers
financial aid. And since each CM division is autonomous yet
related, you can grow in two directions up through your
own division, or to the side to other divisions.
For an exciting, rewarding career, see your Placement Officer
or write to General Motors, Salaried Personnel Placement,

and in activities, he should
work for enjoyment, not
glory."
Poetic Interest
With a good start towards
his final goal of being a writ
er, Dick's primary interest is
in poetry. He has had several
selections published in the Na
tional Collegiate Poetry An
thology. A senior in Arts and
Sciences, he has majors in
history and English.
His journalism interest
spread to his membership in
Navy ROTC as he served as
publicity chairman for the
Military Ball this year, xfu
ture plans include a two year
term in the Navy and either
law. school or advanced work
in his major fields.
"If I could change one thing
at this University, it wuld be
to enable students to commu
nicate more with one an
other," Dick said. "So
much now is on a superficial
level. People seem to be
afraid to say anything serious
for fear of being laughed at."
'Develop To Fullest'
With regard to the present
fraternity question," he com
mented that a fraternity
should develop young men to
their fullest, scholastically, es
pecially and socially, incidentally."
As one of the most active
students in school, Dick said
that he thought activities bene
fited both the student and the
University.
"It's through activities that
you meet a cross section of
students," he said. "And
through activities students
can t help but learn about the
University, whether it's just
getting a voucher signed.
