Fortune smiled on 10,500 spec
tators December 29 at the finals
f the Big Seven Pre-season Tour
nament as they saw the nation's
number 1 team race to the tour
ney title with an Impressive 80-52
win over the Colorado Buffs.
They also saw the great Wilt
Chamberlain toss In 45 points, 32
of them in the second half.
The English language hasn't de
veloped enough adjectives to de
scribe this 7-1 giant sophomore.
He is one of the most graceful
performers this writer has ever
seen. He possesses almost every
shot in the book. His favorite point
getter is a one-handed push shot
from the sides of the free-throw
lane. But he is also capable of out
maneuvering his defensive foes,
usually two or three men, to tally
points at close range.
He draws enough free-throws in
one evening to satisfy any coach.
Sympathy must also be given to
the opposing center, for his scor
ing will be very limited for the
evening. He works the boards for
rebounds as if he owned them.
But this is not the. complete story
behind this Jayhawk squad. For
Coach Dick Harp also has fielded
four other players plus a strong
bench that can carry a strong
load. For instance, take forward
Gene Elstun. The 6-3 co-captain
rapped in 20 points. The defensive
work of guards John Parker and
Maurice King, plus the rebound
ing of Chamberlain, Elstun and
6-4 Ron Loneski makes KU look
like the team to beat for the 1956-
57 campaign.
All-in-all, this year should be a
good one for Cornhusker custom
ers. Their remaining five home"
contests should be a must for
students. For I can almost guaran
tee, win or lose, they will be in
for a lot of good basketball. And
when February 9 rolls around, the
spectators will be able to say they
have seen' the nation's greatest,
Kansas, play another great, Ne
braska. I know, for I have.
Nebraska Athletes
Face Busy Weekend
The Kansas-Nebraska basketball
name Is the "big" sports event
confronting the Nebraska athletes
this weekend but in addition to the
cage contest, the Cornhusker mer
men, Giermen matmen, and thin
clads will see action.
Coach Hollie Lepley's tankmen
will start their festivities this after
toon when they invade Greeley,
Colorado for a swimming meet with
Colorado State. From there, Home's
boys will travel to Boulder for a
dual meet with Utah and Colorado.
The wrestling squad, seeking
their first win of the season, will
have a chance to perform their
talents before the largest au
dience ever to witness the graplers.
Tho Strasheim men will take on
South Dakota State immediately
following the Kansas-Nebraska bas
ketball game.
The Cornhusker trackmen, bol
stered by the return of Dick Jahr,
Husker sprinter, will be competing
for their second win of the season
when they plan host to Colorado.
The thinclads of both teams will
be trying to rewrite tha record
books which Nebraska proved last
week in their win over Iowa State
last week, when Keith Gardner,
Bob Elwood, and Knolly Barnes
all broke records in their respective
distances.
This will be the first meet for
th" Buffs who place great hopes
in sophomore sprinter, Chuck Carl
son. Last year in the meeting of
the two teams, Colorado won
handily, 60-44. Many pf Colorado's
blue ribbon winners are back from
last year. Nebraska boasts only
the blue ribbons of Larry Gaus
man, ace high jumper, and the mile
relay team that hold records but
the potential of the team was great
ly enhanced by the addition of
many members of last year's
freshman squad.
Also going into action this week
end will be the Husker gumnastics
team who will travel to the Navy
rier in uucago tor a meet on
Saturday. Jake Gier's crew is
sporting an undefeated record hav
ing downed Kansas Slate and Min
nesota thus far this season.

Tomorrow night at 8:05 p.m. the
nations number 2 basketball team
will invade the Coliseum for a Big
Seven basketball contest. Coach
Dick Harps Kansas Jayhawks will
present Nebraska's top opposition
of the season. Kansas currently
trails only North Carolina in both
the Associated and United Press
polls. They were holding down the
top spot until knocked off by Iowa
State several weeks ago. This is
the only Kansas loss so far this
season in 14 starts.
A sellout crowd of some 9,000
people plus a local TV audience
will watch the game. The main
attraction, of course, is the seven
foot Kansas center Wilt (the Stilt)
Chamberlain. Chamberlain has
been killing opponents all season

with his scoring and rebounding
performances plus blocking nu
merous shots. His top scoring ef
fort was 52 points in the seasons
opener against Northwestern.
Also in the Kansas starting line
up will be Ron Loneski. Gene El
stun, John Parker, and Maurice
King.
Loneski will only be starting his
second game of the season after
sitting out much of the campaign
with a broken ankle. The outstand
ing 6'4" sophomore will get the
call ahead of Lew Johnson who
last season was the regular Jay
hawk center. Johnson has had
trouble hitting top stride this sea
son at forward. Loneski hit 19
points last Saturday against Iowa
State.
At the other forward spot is
Gene Elstun. Co-captain of the
1957 squad Elstun has won sev
eral games with his clutch shoot
ing. He is one of the most con
sistent performers in the lineup.
The guards will be Parker and
King. Parker, the other co-captain
is a cool performer and an excel
lent ball handler. Parker doubles
in the spring in track where he
throws the Javelin.
King was all Big Seven choice
last season as a junior when he
set the Kansas guard scoring rec
ord with 329 points. King also is
en excellent rebounder. Against
Nebraska last season he hit 21
and 17 points in two Kansas wins
over the Husker3.
Just what Husker coach Jerry
Bush has up his sleeve for the
contest nobody knows at this time.
However, as usual, Jerry will
probably find some combination
to hold the fast flying opponents
down. If Nebraska should pull an
upset, which is very possible with
one of their better nights, the
Husker will have a 9-7 season and
3-2 conference mark.
Bush will probably again call on
his regular five for most of the
work.

"What's it like to be
A MANUFACTURING ENGINEER
AT IBM?"
Four years ago, Yale senior lee Baker asked himself this question.
Today, as a Product Control Engineer in IBM Manufacturing Engineering,
Lee reviews his experience and gives some pointers that may be helpful
to you in taking the first, most important step in your engineering career.
'.'It's tough," Lee sympathizes, "for
a college senior to feel confident about
choosing a job. For four years he's
been trained to be critical and delib
erate about making decisions. Now,
faced with the biggest decision of all,
he has only a few months in which to
attend job interviews, separate the
facts from the propaganda, and select
a company not to mention passing
exams and graduating at the same
time."
Lee, with a B.S. in Industrial Ad
ministration, came to IBM in 1953.
Starting as a Technical Engineer in
Production Control, he was immedi
ately assigned to the General Manu
facturing Education program a
How to select an employer
To the college senior faced with a
job decision, Lee has this to say:
"Pick your employer by this simple
test: 'Is the company expanding fast
enough to provide adequate scope
for your talents and ambitions? Is it
interested in your long-range man
agement development? Will it treat

10-month course with rotating as
signments in all phases of the work
manufacturing, purchasing, pro
duction. In addition to four weeks of
formal classroom study, he also spent
two in the Boston Sales Office, calling
on accounts with the IBM salesmen.
Lee's career was temporarily inter
rupted by a two-year hitch with the
Air Force in Korea. Back at IBM
in 1955, he has since been pro
moted to Production Control Engi
neer. His present job is to design
paperwork systems to insure a smooth
flow of work through the plant where
the famous IBM electronic computers
are manufactured. "It takes creative
engineering ability to design these
systems," says Lee, "and it takes
administrative ability to 'sell' a sys
tem to higher management and make
it stick'

abilities with the most challenging
assignments?'"
For his part, Lee feels IBM has
met this test. Since 1953, he has seen
new plants open, dozens of new prod
ucts evolve, hundreds of new man
agement positions created. Greater
authority, responsibility and reward
have come his way.'Aid he knows
they will continue, for IBM sales
What's "life" like at IBM?
At IBM, Poughkeepsie, Lee lives
a "full life." He belongs to a local
sports car group, drives an Austin
Healy. He skis at Bromley. He is a
member of the IBM Footlighters and
a local drama workshop. At present,
he shares an apartment with two
other engineers and a "medium-fi"
set, but plans to marry "the girl
next door" (in hometown Hamburg,
Conn.), in the very near future. In
this connection, Lee advises seniors
to pay special attention to company
benefits. "They may seem like a
yawning matter when you're single,
but they mean a lot when you as-,
sume responsibilities. IBM's are the
best I know." ,
Bw T i in i si.
Recognition ef individual merit
have been doubling on the average
every five years since 1930. He likes
the "small-team" engineering system
that assures ready recognition of indi
vidual merit. And he appreciates the
fact that IBM hired him despite his
impending service hitch.
Lm Hvm a full life
IBM hopes that this message will help to
'give you some idea of what it's like to
work in Manufacturing Engineering at
IBM. There are equal opportunities for
E.E.'s, M.E.'s, physicists, mathemati
cians and Liberal Arts majors in IBM's
many divisions Research, Product De
velopment, Sales and Technical Services.
Why not drop in and discuss IBM with
your Placement Director? He can supply
our latest brochure and tell you when
IBM will next interview on your campus.
Meanwhile, our Manager of Engineering
Recruitment, Mr. R. A. Whitehorne, will
be happy to answer your questions. Just
