The Daily Nebraskan Page 5 Steve Gage-Student Idealist ho Puts Ideas Into Action Friddy, January 19, 1962 W Steve Gage an idealist who has seen his ideals success fully effected. Steve believes that student leaders must be extremely perceptive in recognizing the level of leadership on this campus. He explained that it is very difficult to recognize the capabilities, level of ma turity, and active potential of students and to capitalize on it. ' Leaders should help train student leaders in order that they may bring forth the leaders in the lower classes, he added. 1 Steve said the University is riding on a crest of a wave of a more mature and re sponsible level of leadership on this campus. It is a reac tion against stagnant, unpro gressive passiveness of lead ers of the past. Steve said , that the key thing to a level of achieve ment in activities is the level of maturity of participating individuals. Steve observed that too many times leaders must conform to the image of those who work on the activ ity. So often, people pick the typical follower for the lead er, nof the leader. They pass over the real leader who may be a controversial person. Many students on the cam pus don't know where they are going or what they are doing, said Steve. "They should narrow down their in terests and really deepen the importance of their contribu tion to the campus from that activity," he stated, these stu dents would then "be able to realize their real purpose." i True Leader The fact that Steve is a true campus leader is proven again and again by his past record of activities. He is president of Student Council, past secretary of the Big 8 Intrafraternityt Council, past public relations director of IFC, and treasurer of Inno cents. Steve is a Kosmet Klub member, co-editor of the 1961 and 1962 IFC Rush Book, and a member of Sigma Chi so cial fraternity. He was a fi nalist for Outstanding Colleg iate Man for 1961. As Student Council presi dent, Steve has done an out standing job for the student body. One of the projects which is designed to help the student body is the consolida tion of campus publications to give the students a coher ent organized assembly of factual information about the campus. The faculty, evaluation pro gram is now in the planning stage and is being studied by the faculty committee. Steve already has the next step in mind: a course evaluation. Council Associate Carrying out his ideas about leaders, the Student Council has started the Council Asso ciate program. It is attempt ing to rework the thinking of the campus about Student Council. It is designed to give a sense of direction and lead ership in student government. He has carried out person ally his ideals on leadership and has directed projects in that direction and realizes that not everyone agrees, but maybe his ideas will start students thinking about them.

Steve challenges the major deception of college students: after graduation it's not what you know, but who you know. He said that this displays a relaxed unity in the family where the function of training the children goes to the schools. Many students con tinue with higher education only for the purpose of being able to go out in the world socially. Liberal Education A student in the College of Engineering, Steve is a firm believer in an liberal ed ucation for engineering ma jor. He has a deep interest in philosophy, humanities, and theology. He feels that he has received more satisfaction from educational ventures In those areas that a liberal ed ucation is essential to the ed to life itself. Steve plans to go to gradu ate school and earn his mas ters or PhD in either me chanical or nuclear engineer ing toward his long range professional goal a member of a college faculty. He is General Motors schol ar, and has a 7.1 average in the College of Engineering! the second highest in his de partment and in the top 10 of the college. He is a past member of the Engineering Executive Board, an editorialist for the Nebras ka Blueprint, and past treas urer of Sigma Delta Chi, journalism honorary. He is the student writer for the Ne braska Alumnus and is a member of the following hon ories: Phi Eta Sigma, Pi Tau Sigma, Sigma Tau, and Sig ma Delta Chi. Steve was married last sum mer to the former Cindy Powell. They share a co-editorship of the 1962 IFC Rush book. Steve said that he had one criticism of the University so cial structure: "It doesn't lend itself to scholarly, scien tific attitudes toward studies of academic conduct of one's own life." He said that the University has a lack of academic at mosphere where slip-shod be havior is stressed against the pursuit of excellence. Steve emphasized that stu dent leaders should recognize the need of an academic ap- -.iii-Miiiijiim. iiiri ' i mm iiHih iiMiimii li "If M STUDENT . . . JOURNALIST ENGINEER proach to activities. Leaders should promote it and not feel ashamed to demand excel lence from their workers or themselves, said Steve. He observed that people continually miss the funda mental questions which af front them in activities and studies. He said that these things which are our mores and laws that control life de mand to be recognized. Steve admitted he had com mitted the initial sin of get ting into too many activities and spreading himself too thin until he started empha sizing those which were most important. "Then," he said, "I felt that I was doing some thing for the University." Steve said that one must have courage, intelligence and interest to fight for ideals such as these. This truly out standing Nebraskan certainly has all of these qualities in great quantity.
