V 4 Y.WM .V ' " ,,, , J f ; GARDNER SCORES AT OLMYPIC GAMES By BOB WIRZ Staff Sports Writer Frank Sevigne's Nebraska track squad opened its 1957 season Sat urday afternoon with a rousing 74-30 win over Iowa State. This also marked the opening of What could be a brilliant col lege career for Keith Gardner. Gardner is the modest lad from Jamaica, who Saturday tied three dual marks. These included vic tories in the J60 yard dash (6.3) the high (7.7) and low (7.0) hur dles. Just recently Gardner returned from Melbourne, Australia, where Courtesy Lincoln Star GARDNER he captained the Jamaica Olym pic team. In addition to acting as captain, Keith ran in the 110 meter high hurdles, the 100 meter dash, and ran a leg of the 440 meter relay. Competing under a severe handi cap during the games, because of painful leg and stomach injur ies received in pre-games trials, he failed to place in any of the events. Despite failing to place Gard ner greatly enjoyed the Olympics and hopes to be able to compete again in 1960. ' Gardner placed the opening ceremonies as one of the more exciting days. In the ceremonies approximately 200 buses were used to carry athletes, coaches, and trainers from the Olympic Village to Melbourne a distance of about 8 miles. For the entire trip people were crowded along the road in one continuous line cheering both men and women athletes from all countries. At the Olympics, Keith stated, "nobody notices what nationality you are or what country you are from." Regardless of these facts and win or lose one athlete re ceived as much applause as the next one." , - Most of the time when not com peting in the games the athletes Fashion As I See It by Judy Ramey KV'b Representative to Gold's Advisory Board Johnathan Logan's . spring fashions are made in wonderful, washable new fabrics this year. The styles are new and wonderful too. Dacron is combined with cotton, 50-50, for a light, soft fabric in a dress fine for class or pretty enough for a party.

They could attend the games each day if they so desired but usually time didn't allow it. "All athletes were very friend ly," Gardner said, "but many of them were hard to understand." The Russian men generally knew a little English but Russian wom en and Hungarians usually knew none at all." The Olympic Village itself was surrounded by wire fence 10 feet high and it was continually guard ed by military police. This didn't keep the athletes from moving freely about but restricted them to their quarters after a certain time at night. Gardner did gain one distinction at the games. He was the first person to announce an engage ment. Many romances were started at the Olympics but his was the first announced publicly. Keith and his pretty fiance Julie Mary Scott announced their engagement at a big party on December 1. Miss Scott 18, of Hawthorn, Aus tralia, worked in the personnel department at the Olympic Vil lage. The young couple received many letters of congratulations from all parts of the world. Letters were received from England, Canada, United States, Mexico, Panama and other distant spots on the globe. Keith said "It was a great dis appointment to have strained a muscle before the games but I hope to be okay to run for the Huskers this season." After the brilliant debut last Saturday Gard ner appears to be in good shape for this campaign. j Students $2.00 One Of M&fkns lending Hetfreaic RKB Cempmks To Interview Engineering, Physics, Math Majers Unusual opportunities for rapid professional growth and advance ment at Melpar, Inc4 one of the Nation's leading electronic research and development organizations, will be detailed to interested engineer ing', math and physics majors in a series of interviews to be held on campus soon. A subsidiary of Westinghoute Air Brake Company, Melpar is now en gaged in a program of expansion involving substantial increases in staff and facilities. h WmtingFer "Ai Advancement at Mepar At Melpar there is no waiting period for "automatic" advance ment Instead, an engineer, regard less of his age or tenure, may move ahead as rapidly as his skill and performance dictate.

The two Bills, Orwing and Jen nings, have been working very hard to complete the coaching staff prior to next month's spring prac tice, and the hard work has been paying off. A terrific jap was created by the decisions of Dee Andros and Gene Stauber to join Pete Elliott at California. Both Andros and Staub er are top flight coaches and are not easily replacable. With the announcement that Dick Monroe and John Landry have been signed as aides, it is evident that Nebraska is continuing its policy of bringing only top flight coaches to the University. Since Orwig took over as Ath letic Director he has staffed our athletic squads with outstanding mentors. Jerry Bush's rebuilding program is taking shape. With one of the toughest schedules in the history of the school, the cagers are on the way to their most successful season under the St. John grad.

This selective process has produced a vigorous organization of great experience and competence in all fields of electronics. Younger men who wish, to apply their engineering knowledge to problems of a varied and challeng ing nature are required to fill im portant pests in Melpar project groups.

KU LEADS BIG SEVEN SCRAMBLE By DEL RASMUSSEN Nebraskaa Sports Reporter After a two-week layoff for sec ond semester exams, the Big Sev en swings into a full schedule.
