Sigma Tail Scholarship
Awarded To Paul Murf in
That Paul Murf in, electrical
engineering senior, has been
named recipient of the Sigma Tau
senior scholarship award, present
ed annualy by Alpha chapter of
Sigma Tau, was announced Tues
day night at the Sigma Tau initia
tion banquet .held at the Ag
campus Foods and Nutrition build
ing. Dean Roy M. Green made the
presentation of the award.
Murfm is a member of Sigma
Tau, and holds the presidencies of
the Engineers' Exec Board and
A.I.E.E., student engineering or
ganizations. The scholarship is
awarded to a senior in the upper
ten per cent of his class on the
basis of scholarship, sociability,
practicality and need.
Social Engineer.
The principle address at the
banquet was given by Dr. James
M. Reinhardt of the University
department of sociology on the
topic "The Social Engineer."
In his talk, Dr. Reinhardt men
tioned some of the problems and
difficulties associated with the
development of a reliable social
order, and the relationship of these
problems to the engineer.
The speaker pointed out that
the engineer is a controller of
institutions. In order to control
institutions he must be able to
deal with man, the basis for all
institutions. The very nature of
our society, which is more or
less unscientific, makes this a dif
ficult task for the engineer.

BY RALPH STEWART
(Daily Nebraska Sports Editor)
Nebraska's high-stepping cagers, unleashing a devast
ating 42-point second half scoring attack, scuttled a spunky
South Dakota university quintet Tuesday night on the
Coliseum maples by a one-sided 65-38 count.
Off to a slow start, Coach Harry Good's sharpshooters
moved into a 32-17 halftime margin after the Coyotes had
narrrowed a never-relinquished Nebraska lead to 12-10 and

could ring the bucket after five
minutes of playing time had

Reserves Take Over.
With ten minutes of the first
half gone, Coach Good inserted a
fresh Scarlet five. Sparked by
Guard Neil Mosser, the new crew
boosted the Husker tally to 23-16
at the intermission.
. The Nebraska starting five re
ceived little more than a good
warm-up in the second half.
While South Dakota failed to find
the scoring range, the Huskers
racked up 12 points within six
minutes before Good relieved
them with his second team combi

Whitehead paced the second five
for an eight minute session when
a third Husker quintet trotted on
the floor. Good wound up by
clearing his bench of 21 men.
Fourteen of them broke into the
scoring column.
The Huskers had little trouble
in gaining their initial win of the
season with the South Dakotans,
recent victor over Creighton uni
versity. Although displaying
shady passing tactics at times, Ne
braska showed considerable prom
ise for the future.
High Husker scoring honors
were divided among a trio of sec
ond line performers. Mosser con
nected for four fielders for eight
points while Forward Paul Sheilds
hit three field goals and convert
