Dillard gained a first in the 60
jard dash with a time of 06.3. This
mark is just two-tenths of a second
off th world standard. Don Fike
copped second spot and Don Phil
lipps took third.
At the end of six events, the var
sity led by a margin of 35'A to
18l.
The 440 yard dash found the var
sity gaining eight points on the
strength -of a one-two finish. Bob
Neiman took first with a time of
53 second? flat. Bob Anderson fin
ished second and the freshmans
Don Hor.se third.
The varsity took complete dom
ination of the shot put. Leonard
Rosen grabbed a first with a toss
ot 49-9 Larry Smith was second
and Carl Reimers third.
Merle Brestle nabbed first place
in the high jump. His effort of 6-3
toppei that of freshman Duane
Smith and sophomore Larcy Gaus
man. . Smith holds the Nebraska
high school high jump mark with
a leap of 6-5. This was only the
second time that Gausman failed
to cop a first. Last week against
Oklahoma he finished in a two-way
tie for first with a 6-3 jump.
The 880 event found a freshman,
Knolle Barnes from Trinidad,
jumping to a quick lead but falter
ing to the eventual winner, Duane
Eversoll. Eversoll's time was re
corded at 2:03.6.

specialty, the 60-yard low hurdles

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.

Cliff Downer (right), A3, in Mathematics, '49, M.S. in Civil Engineering,
'50, Harvard, en tht site of a building construction project.
"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. Your
placement officer has more information about
these companies.
