Each year at this time, sports enthusiasts find themselves con
fronted with the same puzzling enigma. Why are most athletic direc
tors in the Big Seven conference indifferent toward the policy of com
petition for freshman baskeball teams?
Actually the problem is much deeper than just the attitudes of the
athleic directors. It is actually embedded in the Rules and Regulations
governing athletics and all participation in the conference. Sectioin 8
of the article on eligibility states about freshman competition: "Fresh
men shall be limited to athletic competition within their own institu
tion except that football teams shall be allowed to participate in two
contests against teams from other colleges."
Although this clarifies the policy it is here that a fallacy can be
spotted. In what respect does the freshman football program differ
from that of basketball. The freshmen gridders involved participate
only three months in the fall season. They then report for spring
practice after a four month layoff. With two games inserted in their
schedule, the footballers do not face the long grind of night after
night practices emphasizing fundamentals as the frosh do.
"Granted, freshman football players log in plenty of time, but ex
amine the actual length of a college basketball season. A frosh eager
who is considered interested in basketball probably starts shooting
baskets and getting into shape on his own shortly after school opens in
the fall. If he then survives the elimination process where the top
prospects are supposedly weeded out in the opening weeks of practice
he must contitnue his night after night of practice sessions until the
season ends in about the middle of March.
Looking at this problem from the coaches point of view it should
have more positive factors than negative. Along with the added work
this competition would give the mentor a goal to work towards in the
sense of an accomplishment by the squad, as there is somewhat of an
underlying attitude present now, that many of the competitors deem
their inaugural season pointless compared to the schools that support
freshman competion or four year varsity eligibility. It also would give
a better sense of value to the team when the results could be concrete
actual win-loss records. This would also emphasize the freshman pro
gram more and remedy the present situation where a athlete comes
from high school where he has received top acclaim only to be lost
in the depths of the training program preparing him for future experi
ence. This factor alone has accounted for many of the losses of ath
lets after enrollment to junior colleges or other schools who do not
support a similar program to Nebraska's.
The indifferent attitude seemes to evolve from an expense problem.
Where an acute expense problem would arise from several home games
is a good questioin in itself. Another of the commonest arguments is
that a freshman should concentrate on his studies the first year. Where
would the addition of several games add to the opposition of studies
anymore than the present plan does. -
The solution to this problem rests in the actual opinions of those
competing in the program and if these opinions were voiced the ma
jority would point to the proposed program of extended competition.

A Campus-to-Career Case History

"I take a job from scratch"
The Air Force introduced Forrest I.
Hurst to communications. In 1953 he
was Communications Officer at Lowry
Air Force Base near Denver, Colorado.
He was partially responsible for the com
munications setup of the President's
"Summer White House," and in this
assignment he met members of the local
Bell telephone company.
"The telephone people I met," says
Forrest, "were always helpful. I con
sidered them the experts. They gave a
very good impression of the Bell System.
So three months before I was discharged
I wrote to Indiana Bell for an interview,
and subsequently I was hired as a
Student Engineer."
Today Forrest is in Indiana Bell's
Engineering Department, working with
carrier facilities the means by which a
number of telephone calls can be sent
simultaneously over one circuit.
Forrest is given the basic circuit and
equipment requirements for a job. "My
boss farms it out to me," Forrest says,
"and I take-it from scratch." Forrest
does the complete engineering job. He
Vrites the specifications, including wir
ing plans and the list of equipment for
the job. Then the installers take over.
"I really feel that I'm contributing
to the telephone business," Forrest says.
"My wife does too. When we're in the
car we get a kick out of driving by a
j ob that I engineered. Nothing can com
pare with a career in a business that's
growing as fast as the Bell System. It's
the place to move ahead."
Forrest graduated in 1952 from Purdue
University with an E.E. degree. His career is
typical of those vhich exist in other Bell Tele
phone Companies, and in Bell Telephone
Laboratories, Western Electric and Sandia
Corporation. Your placement officer has more
information about Bell System companies.
