To the surprise and pleasure of
everyone concerned, activities on
the University's rifle range in the
Military and Naval Science Build
ins have grown far beyond the
bonds of pure military matters.
Each year new students find the
facilities available for them on the
range. This interest has grown to
the point where only 20 per cent of
the time on the range is taken up
with formal ROTC training. The
rest of the time the range is filled
with students shooting either in
teams or individually.
The basic purpose of the range
Is to train potential service offi
cers in the fundamentals of rifle
marksmanship. But an equally
important purpose is to provide
good recreational facilities for Uni
versity students.
Under the guidance of Capt. Ar
thur L. Belknap, Army ROTC
range officer, and range super
visors from each of the ROTC
branches, instruction periods have
been opened to all students at the
University, whether enrolled in
ROTC or nc4.
Freshman Instruction
In addition to the basic rifle in
struction and qualification firing
given to freshman Army ROTC students,-
the range is available for
practice and advanced instruction
to all students from 9:30 a.m. to
5 p.m. each school day.
Instruction is given on a joint
Army, Air and Navy ROTC basis
under the supervision of Sgt. First
Class Francis Whitney, Army;
Master Sgt. Joseph Long, USMC,
and Technical Sgt. Charles .
Odum, USAF.
Rifles and ammunition are pro
vided free of charge to all ROTC
students. Students not in ROTC
must furnish their own ammuni
tion. Rifles, sighting scopes and
targets of the highest quality are
available for all to use.
Main activities on the rifle range
at the present time are the Varsity
Rifle Team, the intramural men's
tournament and a newly -organ-
ized Women's Rifle Club run joint
ly with the Women's Athletic Ass'n
Jordan Outstanding Marksman
The Rifle Team, recently given
status as a minor varsity sport by
the University athletic department
with N-Club membership to all let
termen, will fire 10 to 15 matches
against other schools.
Their biggest matches are two in
vitational matches held each year.
The biggest this year will be the
Second Annual Invitational Match
in February. Twenty schools are
expected to compete here in tnis
match.
The Rifle Team has produced
one of the nation's outstanding
marksmen, Paul Jordan. This year
will be Jordan's fourth on the Var
sity. He is the current Big-Seven
record holder.
The intramural program will be
gin Monday, Nov. 3. Teams will
fire evenings from 5 to 6 p.m. So
far only 10 teams have registered,
but Capt. Belknap hopes at least
10 more will register by Monday.
Women's Interest Increases
The Women's Rifle Club is new
this year. Over 200 girls have ex
pressed interest in the organiza
tion. This is a decided increase
over the 75 girls which fired indi
vidually on the range during the
1953-54 school year.
Student participation is not lim-
ted to these organized programs

ROTC Cadets
Tour Wichita
Plane Factory
The Command Squadron of the
University Air Force ROTC detach
ment flew to Wichita, Kan., Oct.
22 for an orientation tour of the
Boeing Aircraft Corporation fac
tory.
According to Major J. G. Duval,
escort of the group, the purpose of
the trip was to familiarize the
cadets with the aspects of aircraft
production and design.
. The group of 18 basic AFROTC
students left Lincoln Air Force
Base by C-47 Friday afternoon.
Saturday the group was taken on
a tour of the Boeing factory, where
the B-47 six-jet medium bomber is
manufactured.
Later in the afternoon the group
was conducted around McDonnel
Air Force Base.
Saturday morning the cadets
watched a base review including
vehicles and marching personnel.
After the review they were indi
vidually orientated on the B-47.
Farmers' Fair Board
Names Junior Members
Newly-selected juniors for the
Farmers' Fair Board are Larry
Conner, Boyd Stuhr, Al Schmid,
Joyce Taylor, Shirley Slagle and
Jan Lindquist.
The Board plans the Farmers'
Pair, held every spring.
Senior members of the board are
Charles Watson, Nancy Hemphill,
Madeline Watson and Rogene
Hipp.
Bibliography
Center Near
To Completion
A bibliography center has. been
nearly completed at Love Memo
rial library after five years of
work. Library officials report that
the center is presently in use.
Need for a bibliography center
was felt as early as 1945, and ef
forts have been made since then
to build such a facility.
Gathered in the center are the
principle general bibliographies of
the world of printed books and
periodicals. It includes catalogs
from the great national libraries,
such as the Library of Congress
and the British Museum, and
trade bibliographies.
Union Tickets
Now On Sale
Tickets for the annual Eosmet
Klub fall revue are on sale in a
Union booth for 80 cents or may
be purchased from Kosmet Klub
workers.
The revue, "Fantastic Fables":
will be presented Friday at 8 p.m.
in the Coliseum. The show will in
clude six skits, two curtain acts
and the presentation of Prince
Kosmet and Nebraska Sweetheart.
However. Last school year over
1,000 men and 75 women students
used the range. Some came to
shoot as many as 20 or 30 times.
The University has done much
to promote interest in the program
by providing such things as a new
trophy case, a new rifle-storage
cabinet and complete painting
and renovation of the range.
National Board Coordinates
As a community service, use of
the range has been provided for
seven civilian organizations outside
the University. This has been done
in co-operation with the National
Board for Promotion of Rifle Prac
tice. The largest outside organiza
tions using the range are the Lin
coln Rifle Club and the Elgin Gun
Club.
In these many ways the Univer
sity rifle range has extended its
scope far out of the basement of
the M &N building. More students
each day are drawn into it through
team and individual participation.
Rifle range activities at the Uni
versity are well on the way to tak
ing a high place in the scope of
University activities.

J. M. Sloan, Chance Vought Aircraft
Engineering Personnel Representative,
who will visit your campus November 1.
You don't have any
choice on the first and
very little on the second .
On the third however, it's strictly up to you
a poor choice can throw you years behind your
classmates and a good choice can put you years v
ahead.
At Chance Vought, young engineers
(Aeronautical, Mechanical, Civil and Electrical)
have every opportunity to make a mark for
themselves in the industry that places the greatest
value on engineering skill and ingenuity.
The very nature of the modern aircraft its
immense complexity and its never-ending
development presents technical problems that
are unparalleled in any other field of engineering.
The chart illustrates two things; first, the
extent to which cur work involves the various
engineering and scientific specialties and second,
the scope of the opportunities that exist for
the young engineer.
For more information regarding these 1
employment opportunities please contact your
placement office in order to arrange for an
