A. J. Lewandowski, athletic di
rector and business manager of
the university, resigned as athletic
director during the Christmas va
cation, altho he retained his post
as business manager of the ath
letic department.
Announced by Board.
The announcement came fol
lowing a meeting of the university
athletic board which also an
nounced that a new director of
athletics is being sought who will
be given full power to choose an
athletic staff, including o football
coach. Roy Green, chairman of
the board, made this announce
ment following a four and one
half hour session behind closed
doors.
"The Athletic Board of Inter
collegiate Athletics is seeking a
director of athletics, to be granted
full power to select his staff. This
is done at the recommendation of
A. J. Lewandowski, who asked
some time ago to be relieved of
the directorship in order to devote
full time to the position of busi
ness manager," the statement said
The rest of the statement
given by the board is as follows:
"The Board has been in communi
cation with men nationally re
spect in the field of intercollegiate
athletics, such as Dana X. Bible,
athletic director of the University
of Texas, and Colonel L. McC.
"Biff" Jones, graduate manager
of athletics at West Point, for
guidance and information.
"It will require time to accom
plish the board's objectives. The
press and radio have been of in
valuable help by disregarding the
many ruroms which generate in
situations such as this.
"We want to keep the people
of Nebraska informed at all times
and we. intend to do so just as
quickly as possible when official
announcements can be justified.
Board members told newsmen
that no further meeting was
planned, but that the public would
be informed of any new develop
ments.
"We do not expect a meeting
until at least another week or
ten days, and it might be longer
than that, depending upon devel
opments," Chairman Green said.
As yet, no definite action has
been announced, and the new pol
icy still has not been enacted. The
future status of Heach Coach Ber
nie Masterson and his staff will
be left to the discretion of the
new director who will have full
power to act.

Named to Fill
Seaton's Post

fill the post of operating superin
tendent and purchasing agent of
the University, vacated recently
by the death of L. F. Seaton.
Mr. Seaton, a University em

campus, including the Love Li
brary, Coliseum, the Athletic
Field House, the Student Union,
Andrews Hall, Morrill Hall, and

Melbira
ha
Pacing the Ames attack
was
Don Paulsen who sunk 11 points
and played a good rebounding
geme. The rangy center led both
teams in scoring and, teamed
with the famed Wehde twins, led
his team to victory.
For Nebraska, the scoring was
pretty well divided, with three
men. Rod Cox, Dick Schleiger and
Neal Mosser, taking honors with
seven points each. Claude Rether
ford, the French Lick, Ind., hot
shot, swished a mere six, but
played a standout game neverthe
less. Quick Lead.
Iowa State got off to a quick
lead which they held most of the
first half, but a torrid Cornhusk
er rally put them ahead 21-20
with four minutes left. The Cy
clones came right back and pulled
ahead 31-26 by halftime.
After the intermission, the game
continued at a rapid pace, with
Nebraska keeping near enough to
the Ames squad to be dangerous.
However, with about six minutes
left, the Cyclone attack was ac
celerated and they won going
away.
Kansas State Loses.
In upsetting the Huskers, Iowa
State got olf on the right loot in
the Big Seven race. At the same
time, Kansas was edging Okla
homa 39-38, placing the Jay
hawkers in the challenger's role
behind Kansas State, who dropped
their first tilt of the season last
night to Long Island university
in Madison Square Garden.
Nebraska's won-lost record now
stands at 5-7. They have beaten
South Dakota, Missouri, Colorado
Aggies, Stanford and Colorado
State, while losing to Minnesota,
Purdue, Kansas, Oklahoma Ag

Harvard Prof
To Give Lecture
Series at UN
Dr. Carl J. Friedrich, professor
of government at Harvard Uni
versity and authority on European
politics, has been selected as the
first Montgomery Lecturer at the
University of Nebraska.
He will deliver a series of lec
tures on the campus Monday
through Friday, Jan. 12-16, Dr.
Carl E. Georgi, chairman of the
Montgomery Lectureship commit
tee, announced.
The Montgomery Lectureship
on Contemporary Civilization was
established in 1946 from the in
come of the James Henry Mont
gomery Memorial, and endow
ment provided in 1941 by the Ora
Clair Montgomery Estate.
The lectureship brings to the

lic. The purpose of the lectures,
Dr. Georgi said, is to generate
constructive thought on contemp
orary problems.
UN Starts Research
On Kelail Sales
In co-operation with the U.S.
Census Bureau, the University of
Nebraska Research department
will start collecting monthly com
plete information on retail sales
in the state, Dr. Edgar Z. Palmer,
department director, reported
Tuesday.
The census sample of retail
sales, which once fairly well
covered the state, has shrunk un
til it now includes only two coun
ties, Dr. Palmer said. He explained
that the sampling method is more
scientific for obtaining correct na
tional figures, but it is almost
useless for state estimates.
With the new co-operative ar
rangement a much better cover
age for the state and the Indi
vidual cities and regions will be
obtained, Dr. Palmer said.
