Battered Huskers Happy
After Damming Beavers

By Herb Probasco
Bill Jennings' Cornhuskers were too
battered to do much back-slapping in the
dressing room after Saturday's win, but
- there was no mistaking that the boys
were mighty happy.
Center Darrell Cooper just about
summed it up for the fans and team alike
when he looked up at the score board and
said. "7-6, but I'll take that score any
day."
Jennings praised the squad for a "tre
mendous effort."
Ball 'Moved Well'
We moved the ball pretty weD," he
pointed out Refusing to single out any in
dividual, the Husker mentor said he felt
that the Nebraska ends contained the
single wing "pretty well."
"Our kicking game sure helped us," he
added.
Line coach Don Strasheim sajd the Husk
ers played "real good football. Oregon
State ts a helluva football team," he
added. "They were hard hitting, hard
nosed and good hustlers."
Center Jim Moore, whose rugged tack
ling was a highlight of the game, gave the
Beavers plenty of credit.
"They were pretty good," he said. "They
hit harder than Texas and Minnesota."
The senior lineman added, "If we keep
op the hustle, we're going to have a good
season.'
ToDy Has Long Game
Harry Tolly, who played all but two or
three plays at quarterback, felt "we
played pretty good. We're really trying,"
he added.
They were tough, but they're all
tough," was junior halfback Pat Fischer's
reaction to the Bearers. "But we're gon
na beat 'em all," the Husker speedster
cracked.
Saturday
Spirit Gets Thorough
Analysis at Rag Lunch
Everything from Saturday
noon rallies to abolishing
game functions was hashed
over at a noon luncheon Fri
day sponsored by the Daily
Nebraskan.
Concentrated discussion
centered arour.d school songs,
pep organization efforts and
spirit in the stands.
Demonstrate Chant
The cheerleaders demon
strated the Nebraska Chant
Popular back in the 30's the
Chant has been restored. at
the requests of some alums.
It was felt that the chant has
been downgraded before when
presented because the atmos
phere had been shattered each
lime in various ways.

Engineering Decline Follows Trend
The yearly .decline in en
gineering students is follow
ing a national trend, said
Mark Hobson, dean of the Col
lege of Engineering.
He said he feels the number
will continue to decline until it
matches the number of stu
dents the University would
have had without the scarce
engineer publicity o f 1956,
then will slowly rise again.
But be added he didn't know
the reason for the large num
ber of dropouts in last year's
junior class that affected the
College's enrollment.
Total enrollment for the En
gineering College last year
was 1.406 and an unofficial
tabulation this year shows

bv Fred Waring's brother at
the request f the University
Board of Regents. A repre
sentative of the fraternity said '
that they have learned the j
number, which Is recorded oa j
album, and are willing to help
teach it to the student body.
The third song suggestion
was "The Cornhusker" which
the football squad now uses
just before each game. Harry
Tolly, representing N'Club
said he would consult the
team before commenting eith
er way. Some thought that
it might lose its meaning to
the team if it were sung in
the stands.
Joint Meetings
Before any decision can be
made, the suggestions will be
brought up for discussion be
fore the Student Council.
Means suggested for teaching
the songs included through
the bell tower, at rallies, at
joint Com Cob-Tassel meet
ings and in the bouses.
"It is a real job to get the
whole stands roaring, bnt it
is something that has to catch
and spread," Jack Nielsen,
Council president said. He
suggested the three pep r
ganizations Cheerleaders,
tassels, and Corn Cobs co
ordinate efforts more to bring
about spirit in the stands.
Another suggestion was that
yelling at games be encour
aged more than competition
selling. "All the flowers in the
world can't make the noise
we need at games,'" an en
thusiastic fan stated
Cowbells or Shakers
A special meeting of the
Corncobs was held Sunday
and representatives said that
one would be arranged with
the Tassels in the near future.
It was suggested that
bouses might get cowbells or
pompoms to promote spirit.
The situation of tricksters in
the card sectioa aisa was
brought up. Just one green
card among the red can ruia
an effect, the representatives
agreed.
Brent Chambers, yell king, !
added that the most important
thing when one comes to the
game is keeping in the right
frame of mind.
1,384, a drop f SZ. By depart
ment the greatest reduction
came in electrical engineer
ing, where 55 fewer students
are enrolled than last year.
Hobson said he wasn't overly
concerned about the situation,
and there hadn't been enough
time to make a thorough
study.
He emphasized the Col
lege's largest enrollment was
in 1956, when there was a
great deal of national pub
licity on the shortage of engi
neers. Total enrollments since 1955
are:

Carroll "Papa" Zaruba, who caught the
pass for Nebraska's only touchdown and
played one of his finest games for the
Scarlet and Cream, didn't hesitate when,
asked about the game against Kansas
next week. "We're gonna wuj, of course,"
the Extra Point Club recruiter shot back.
Physical Status
Uppermost in Jennings mind besides
the victory, was the physical status of
several members of the squad. Quarter-,
back Tom Kramer, guard Don Olson and
fullback Don Fricke, all starters, were
sidelined for the entire game due to
earlier injuries. Fricke and Kramer, and
possibly Olson, should be ready for the
Kansas game.
Sophomore fullback Noel Martin, who
started in place of Fricke, was hurt in the
second half, but is on the "hopeful" list
for next week's contest with Kansas.
The spunky Kansan managed a smile
for congratulators. "They were hitting
pretty hard," he said, "but I didn't get
hit. I got smashed."
It was reported that Martin had suffered
a pulled chest muscle, but X-rays showed
that his ribs were bruised.
No Serious Hurts
Otherwise, the Huskers came out of the
rugged contest, with plenty of cuts and
bruises, but nothing serious.
The team had plenty of backing from
the stands Saturday afternoon.
Junior cheerleader Kay Hirschbach
called the spirit "tremendous." She added
that the Chant is "sounding better" after
the cheerleaders had placed mimeo
graphed copies in the stands.
They also went around to the sorority
houses teaching the Chant, and next week
she said that the band is going to sing,
too.

host the fifth annual conven
tion of the nation-wide society
on the University campus Fri
day and Saturday.
Convention Speakers
Approximately 250 delegates
are expected to attend.
Speakers at the convention
will include Larry Dwon,
manager of engineering man
power, American Electric
Power Service Corp., New
York; Prof. Albredt Naeter
of the School of Electrical En
gineering, Oklahoma State
University; C. Holmes Mac
Donald of Philadelphia, plant
extension engineer of Bell
Telephone Co., and Paul K.

electrical engineering at the
University of Illinois.
Other speakers will include:
the Rev. Rex H. Knowles,
Presbyterian and Congrega
tional pastor; Prof. F. W.
Norris, chairman of the de
partment of electrical engi
nering, and Dr. Albin T. An
derson, associate professor of
history.
All are members of the Uni
versity faculty.
Witt Heads Chapter
The local chapter of Eta
Kappa Nu is headed by Alfred
Witte Jr., and Dr. Clyde Hyde
is faculty adviser.
Members are chosen from
juniors in the upper one
fourth of their class and sen
iors in the uper one-third of
their class. Each year the
group presents the Eta Kappa
Nu scholarship award to the
most outstanding junior in
electrical engineering.
"A number of people were
unrealistic in terms of true in
terest," Hobson said.
Few Transfers
He pointed out that the num
ber of entering freshmen has
remained fairly stable, and
that this year "perhaps we
were not getting as. m a n y I
transfers as usual.
Drop-outs have remained
about the same percentage
wise since 1956, according to
the Dean. He thought that
about half drop out because
of scholastic difficulties in
science and many of the rest
ause of a change in inter
est that is "typical of W- or
l-year-olds.'

Regents Accept Grants,
Buy Forburger Corner
University Regents ac
cepted more than a half mil
lion dollars in grants Friday
evening and took steps to pur
chase new property directly
west of the football stadium.
The five Regents who met
with Chancellor Clifford M.
Hardin authorized Carl Don
aldson, business manager, to
sign a $30,000 agreement for
the purchase of the north
west corner at 10th and Avery,
the Forburger Stone Co.
Grants Breakdown
A break-down of the grants
showed $330,346 in research
grants; $232,722 in training
grants and $3,500 in fellow
ship grants, for a total of
$566,568.
Included in the training
grants was $116,863 to estab
lish a counselling and guid
ance training institute under
the National Defense Educa
tion Act
Chancellor Hardin told Re
gents the 18-week Institute
will be one of seven estab
lished in the nation.
He told the Regents that
$77,000 alone would be sti
pends, tuitions and extra
grants for the expected 45
participants. Counselors from
secondary schools in Nebras
ka, Kansas, Colorado, Wyom
ing, Montana and North and
South Dakota will attend.
Arterials Opposed
The Regents also directed
the University business man
ager to inform the Lincoln
City Council by letter that it
would "strongly oppose" ar.y
move to make 16th and 17th
Sts. major arterials to the
proposed Interstate Spur.
They went on retwd recom
mending that the two streets
become Internal parts of the
campus, if the diagonal was
established east of 17th St.
The Regents first had sub
mitted the recommendations
to the Council la May, 1958.
In addition to accepting rou
Some of the reasons for
drop-outs are the more de
manding scholastic load and
"emphasis on theory rather
than application."
"Part of the problem is in
the area of teaching," he con
tinued. "We try to encourage
rather than discourage. We
are trying new techniques
to
stimulate curiosity.

Plans
cussed any definite plans to
use the building for all fresh

"Right now we're studying
needs of all the activities and
departments on the city cam

placed," he continued.
No Date
"We cannot set a definite
date for the actual relocation
of any one department," he
said.
He did say thee would be
no mass move and that
changes would be made at
different stages, according to

needs.
He said basic questions of

In Spring
Plans for remodeling con
struction are expected in the
spring, he added.
The committee has decided
most of the basement in the
380 by 142 former site of the
Elgin National Watch Co.,
would be used for storage.
According to Breckenridge,
ceilings are too low to be
suitable for classrooms.
Present plans call for trans
