Bobby, who has thrilled every spectator who chanced to see him in action this year, has drawn such names from the sports-writers and fans as '"Ramblin Robert,' "Hot Rod," "The Rambler," "Bob bin' Bobby" and "Mr. Touchdown." All-American selections have been thick with Bobby firmly secured in one of the backfield posts.

Colleges Valuable Asset In War Says Gustavson American universities and col leges are among the nation's most valuable assets in war as well as in peacetime, Chancellor R. G. Gustavson told members of the Nebraska Guernsey Breeders as sociation meeting at the Univer sity Thursday. "A university," he said, "is one wartime asset that does not be come surplus in time of peace. A university is an investment house; not a gambling casino where you take your chances on war as opposed to peace," The Chancellor said, "All of us hope and pray that a third world war can be avoided but in the light of recent events we would be foolish to ignore the threat we face." If war comes. Dr. Gustavson predicted it would be long, per haps 10 years, and "I fear it would make World Wars I and TI look like sham battles." In such a conflict, he said, Ne braska's major role again would be the production of food, and whether war comes or not, Ne braska needs to give attention to better land use and livestock improvement. "A war would demand our top agricultural performance in both the growing of crops and the production of livestock, and it would be a tragic mistake to deprive Nebraska of the leader ship that an adequately-supported college of agriculture could provide," he said. It is doubtful, he said, whether Nebraska's soil could again take the punishment of wartime pro on the All-America selected magazine and the Football 750 Directories Sold by Receipt Approximately 750 student di rectories have been sold to stu dents on the University campus, according to Dick Ford, chair man of directory sales.

He cited soil depletion by high protein bean crops as the type of problem agriculturalists must solve. At the present time, he pointed out, more than 1,500.000 acres in northern Nebraska are in serious need of reclaiming, a job in which the University could be of real help if given the neces sary financial support. SeQ Fertility Soil fertility in Nebraska's western irrigated land, the Chan cellor said, is already curtail ing production. "It is a problem which our College of Agriculture could help solve," he said. The University, he explained, has a real opportunity to con duct a practical livestock re search program at Fort Robin son but cannot realize it without adequate financial support from the state. Chancellor Gustavson recalled that U.S. development of the atomic bomb resulted from work in university laboratories. He said the bomb was by no means the only contribution colleges made during World W7ar II and told of research in radar, uran ium studies, language training, and development of anti-malaria drugs. The University he said, contributed much to the solution of the malaria problem. Universities all across the na tion.
