Last night's varsity-freshman en counter was a good warm-up as the varsity prepares to send their crew to Kansas City for the Big 7 Indoor track spectacle. The last time a Husker cinder crew took home first place was in 1951. Since then the Kansas Jayhawks have had complete mastery over the ovals, both indoor and outdoor. Gymnasts Place 2nd With Bruce Riley taking laurels in the Class A group, the Nebras ka gymnastic team took second place in the Northwest Gymnas tics Champlonslps at Minneapo lis last Saturday. The Huskers finished second to the host Minnesota Gophers. Coach Jake Geier split his five man team into two groups. Riley and Wayne Strickler were in the Class A division and the other three members competed in the Class B. group. They were competing against squads numbering from 10 to 14 men. Seven other colleges were entered in the festival. Bruce Riley Named Third Nehrashan 'Star 01 The Week' for Gymnastic I'Jorh Another phrase is being coined in the annals of Nebraska sports. It might be said that, "As Riley goes, so goes Nebraska. This term is applied to Bruce Riley, the senior captain of the Husker gymnastic team and a two year letterman. Riley earns this weeks Nebraskan "Star of the Week" award for his outstand ing job at the Northwestern Gym nastic Championships held at Min neapolis, Minnesota. The versatile senior copped the outstanding trophy in the Class A bracket. Riley was one of the two letter men to greet coach Jake Geier Buffs Smack Sooners, 61-53 NORMAN,- Okla.

OFF S O bob cook Those of you who are devout worshippers of the gridders, thin clads, tankers, grapplers, keglers, or cagers (these cliches should at tract your attention); that is to say you follow the antics of the homo sapiens athleticus (jock to you tngusn A graduates) probably find yourselves deeply concerned with the problem of "over-emphasizing" athletics. For it seems today this question has even appeared in our law courts and an answer to this dilemma is needed badly. Let us look into the athletic program of one of our leading midwest em universities. Yes, it's a well known fact that dear old Jockhaven never gets its name pulled into the newspapers for subsidizing their athletes. Why. how could anyone be so naive as to even think for a moment that any college lei alone Jockhaven favors their athletes. Just because Jockhaven has led their conference for thirty-one years in every sport. Surely, this record doesn't imply anything out of the or dinary. Let us look into this a little further. One musn't jump at con clusions. Let us start our investigation from the top. First of all we'll start aj the chancellors office, located underneath the squash courts. It nas been rumored that the chancellor is due for a salary raise next year ... a boost up to $2000 a year. What does the athletic director get? Only $25,000 a year (This can be explained as he doesn't work in the summer Months). This could not possibly be of any significance. Let's go to an actual competitor and get the first hand information. Luckily, enough here comes Jockhaven's star quarterback Rockwell ("Rock") Hedd in his Lincoln Continental. Right away one wonders how "Rock" can afford to be driving such an automobile. The answer is simple. He works part time. When asked what ever prompted Rockwell to come to Jockhaven when he lived three thousand miles away he pondered "Unhhh, I jus crave culture." This of course is a reality for "Rock is majoring in j witchcraft, and maintaining a nine average in presorcery. The key to Jockhaven's superiority in athletic is oddly enough their de-emphasis program. Yes, they've finally figured out the place of ath letics in college and seem to be setting the trend. Education has got to go. Athletes hve got enough to worry about without having, to clutter their minds up with classroom burdens. So how could anyone doubt the fact that athletics are just another small phase of college life. Everyone knows that the love of competition is an athletes only motivation . . . they would nary care to soil the Black and Blue of old Jockhaven, after all, everyone want a school their teams can be proud of . this year. The other one was jun ior Wayne Strickler. Last year the 26-year-old senioi was chosen the most valuable member of the NU squad which won five dual meets and lost only one. His biggest day last year was when he singlehandedly ' placed Nebraska in ninth spot in the NCAA finals. At the All-College Invitational at Denver, Colorado, he won the AU-Around Champion ship. This year the versaitle gymnast started off in fine fashion, cop ping five places at the Invitational Meet at Chicago. At Kansas Staet, Riley paced the Huskers to a. 77 34 win by copping five firsts. He won the free exercise, side horse, high bar, parallel bars, and tumbling. Last year the NU gymnastic crew had a fine season, losing only a 52-43V4 dual to the University of Iowa. They downed Minnesota, 52-44, K-State, 61-18, Denver Illinois Navy Pier, 53V4-41H. This year NU has met K-State, Colorado, Mankato, and Minnesota. They have also competed in tht Chicago Invitational and the North west Gymnastic Championships. Remaining on their schedule is meets with Iowa and the Navy Pier. The Huskers will also compete in Boulder, Colorado. The Iowa and Navy Pier contests are in Lincoln. This year the Cornhuskers will also be at Chappel Hill, North Carolina for the NCAA Champion ships. Riley is the third man picked this semester at "Star of tht Week." He joins the list which In cludes Rex Ekwall and Bob Elwood. 75-19, Colorado, 55V4-40, and the person.

"Projects you can sink your teeth into" Clifford J. Downer started his tele phone career in the building engineering department of The Southern New Eng land Telephone Company. At present he is working with the Bell System's manu facturing unit, Western Electric, helping to build facilities for housing a Conti nental Air Defense project. His assign ment: a key liaison job in supervising a subcontractor's work on a several million dollar construction operation. "One of the most interesting features of my present job," says Cliff, "is making decisions on the spot. For example, draw ings showed where bedrock for footings would be reached. Excavations revealed a poor grade of rock. How much f urther down do we go? A hundred workers and tons of equipment are waiting for tht decision. "There's a lot of future for a civil en gineer in the telephone business. New and smaller types of telephone equipment will probably change our ideas about how , telephone buildings should be built It's fascinating work, all right And broaden ing, too, because it's leading me to other engineering fields. "It looks to me as if there are real challenges ahead projects you can sink your teeth into. Besides, I'm convinced the telephone business recognizes and regards personal industriousness and drive." Interesting career opportunities of all kinds are also offered by other Bell Telephone Companies and Western Electric Company, Bell Telephone Laboratories and Sandia Corporation.
