Senate Passes Gas Bill
The controversial gas bill, which cut across party lines and aligned
Senators on the basis of consumers and producers, was passed by the
Senate Monday night, 53-38.
The bill was sent to President Eisenhower. Bokh backers and
opponents predict Eisenhower will sign the bill into law.
The bitterly fought bill will free natural gas producers from direct
federal price controls, shifting the burden to the consumers. '
Negro Coed Barred
Autherine Lucy, Negro student at the all-white University of Ala
bama, was barred from classes "until further notice."
The announcement of the University Board of Trustees was made
while about 1000 students and others surged across the campus and
for a time defied police firing tear gas.
The demonstrators began using violence Friday night after Miss
Lucy was admitted to classes in obedience to a federal court order.
distances. His toughest opposition
so far has been from Hugh Os
mera, a teammate; but he has not
had to use an all-out effort to win.
Elwood has been the only mem
ber of the track team this year to
win four events in the first two
dual meets.
As a freshman last year El
wood ran the half mile in 1:58.8,
the mile in 4:26.2 and the two mile
in 9:41.6.
New track coach Frank Sevigne
says, "he is a very conscientious
and hard worker and takes every
thing very serious and should go a
long way."
Sevigne describes young Elwood
as a quiet, softspoken, modest, un
assuming young lad.
In high school at Red Oak, El
wood was a very outstanding ath
lete. While there, he participated
in the Drake Relays.
Elwood's next efforts will be this
coming Saturday afternoon when
the Huskers entertain the Univer
sity of Colorado at 2:00 p.m.
Bob is the first Star ofthe Week
this year. The Nebraskan will have
one every week from now until the
end of the Semster.
The men who receive the Star of
the Week awards will be honored
every two weeks at the Nebraskan
press luncheon and they will be
congratulated along with a certificate.
Both Gridders Drop From Squad;
Lincoln High Product To Enter Army
Head football coach Pete Elliott
was handed his first setback as
two of his heavily counted on vet
erans decided to drop from school
second semester.
Two year lettermen LeRoy Buth- j
erus and Harry Johnson both
passed up enrollment in the Uni
versity for second semester. Buth
erus, a former All-State gridder at
Lincoln high, volunteered for the
draft while Johnson was to return
to his home in Valley.
Butherus was anticipating getting
drafted into the Army during the
coming semester so he decided to
volunteer. Butherus stated, "I de
cided to volunteer and hope to get
the benefit of the new program
whereas an individual who is re
turning to college serves only
18 months. This would enable me
to return to Nebraska after miss
ing only lone football season if I
volunteer immediately."
A severe hand injury received in
the Pittsburgh game kept Butherus
out of action for three scirmishes
but the rugged wingman still
garnereck seven passes for u?
yards during the 1955 season. He
will be missed mostly cn defense
where the 6' 190 pour.der was a
thorn in the oppoj ition's side
throughout' his two years of ac
tion. ,
Butherus was the only returning
veteran flanker on the grid squad.
The end department is being de
pleted as Don Hewitt, Jack Braley,
Jon Mc Williams and Dean Lux will
depart via graduation.
Johnson was the number five
man during his two years of com
petition for the Huskers. Two years
ago the 177 pound halfback netted
a neat 5.4 yards per carry and
last season notched a 3.02 total
offense. The loss of Johnson will
Bush Looks
Towards KU
Basketball coach Jerry Bush said
Tuesday after watching his team
drop a 66-52 decision to Kansas
State, Big Seven conference lead
ers, "we were ripe for it (an up
set), but we . couldn't hit." And
indeed Nebraska couldn't as they
wound up with a frigid .286 shoot
ing percentage from the floor.
Bush praised junior Rex Ekwall
for playing what he considered one !
of Rex's best games. The lantern-1
jawed Ekwall scored eighteen
points and captured a good share
of Nebraska's rebounds.
Kansas State did notp lay a
good game, said Bush, but the!
Husker's were hurt by an inability j
to hit from the free throw line. !
Nebraska made only 14 of 25 free i
throws for 56 per cent while Kan
sas State made 20 of 27 for 77 per
cent.
Looking forward to Kansas Uni
versity Saturday, Bush considered
the loss of Dallas Dobbs, KU's
high scoring guard, as a serious1
blow to the Jayhawks. Bush said i
with some optimism that "Dobbs !
was their quarterback and they
will be hurt without him." Kan
sas lost a 79-63 decision to Iowa
State last week after Dobbs was
declared scholastically ineligible.

the only returning halfback is vet

The only other backs that logged
in plenty of game minutes are
quarterback Don Erway and full
back George Cifra. It is also doubt
ful if Erway will be in top shape
as he has been bothered by his
acute knee injuries.
Elsewhere on the Husker ath
letic front things are brightening
up. Thinclad coach Frank Sevigne
has had his stable of cindermen
bolstered.
Two additions joined the Univer
sity track squad Tuesdays as
workouts continued for a meet here
against Colorado Saturday.

Don Ficke, Lincoln springer, are
the new squad members. Lost is

was graduated at the conclusion

He should boost that department
considerably. Ficke has been
clocked in good times in the
sprints and is counted on to boost
the mile relay team.

A Campus-to-Career Case History

Dick Abraham of Bell Telephone Laboratories, here experimenting
with closing the loop on a transistor feedback amplifier.
"I'm working with top names and top talent"
That's one of Richard P. Abraham's
comments about his career with Bell Tele
phone Laboratories in Murray Hill, N. J.
"In 1954, after I'd received my M.S. from
Stanford," Dick continues, "I was inter
viewed by a number of companies. Of
these I liked the Bell Labs interview best
the interviewer knew what he was talk
ing about, and the Labs seemed a high
caliber place.
"The Labs have a professional atmos
phere, and I'm really impressed by my
working associates. As for my work, I've
been on rotating assignments working
v. ith transistor networks and their meas
urement techniques, studying magnetic
drum circuitry, and doing classified work
on Nike, This experience is tremendous.
"In addition to the job, I attend Lab
conducted classes on a graduate level
several times a week. Besides that, the
Labs are helping me get a Ph.D. at
Columbia by giving me time off to get to
late afternoon classes. That's the kind of
co-operation you really appreciate from
your company.
"5Tiat are important to me are the op
portunities offered by the job and the
work itself. My wife and I own a house
near Murray HilL and we've found a lot
of friends through the Labs. All in all,
I think I'm in the right kind of place."
Dick Abraham is typical of the many young men
vho are finding their careers in the Bell System.
Similar career opportunities exist in the Bell
Telephone Companies, Western Electric and
Sandia Corporation. Your placement officer has
more information about these companies.
