More than one loyal Ne
braska track enthusiast has
said something like the fol
lowing, "Why he won the
high jump at the state high
school meet with a 6-5 ef
fort, but he hasn't done a
thing for the Huskers."
When a collegiate track
coach begins his annual re
cruiting drive, he has the
times, heights and distances
for many outstanding high
school tracksters.
Can this track coach pick
the athletes with the best
high school marks and be
sure that they are the best
prospects for collegiate
competition? Not always.
Maybe that's why Ne
braska track coach Frank
Sevigne has a plaque with
the Optimist Creed on h i s
office desk.
"We have the times,
heights and distances of
many prospects, and these
i offer some help for the
track coach," Sevigne said,
"But these figures don't
make it much easier for
a track coach to evaluate

talent than for a football or
basketball coach.
"We have had a number
of state champions that
haven't made it here at the
University," Sevigne pointed
out. The successful predic
tion of how a trackster will
fare in collegiate competi
tion involves a "big element
of luck," Sevigne said.
However, there are at
least two factors which help
to improve the reliability of
the times, heights and dis
tances. Consistency of per
formance throughout the
high school track season is
one of these variables.
Sevigne said, "We will
not be interested in a high
jumper who goes 6-5 once
and only 6-0 the rest of the
year."
The degree of competition
is another variable.
"A :51 quarter mile in
Funk, Nebraska means
much more than a :51 quar
ter mile in New York City.
Each year, then, with a
certain amount of wariness,
Sevigne utilizes four types
of contacts for information
of attention-drawing high
school tracksters. These

Plan Drill Meet
Pershing Rifles company of
the University will host the
fraternity's annual Regimen

More than 540 college stu
dents from across the coun
try will participate in the
meet, consisting of displays
and drill competition.
The competition will run
from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and
will be held in the coliseum.
Nine IDR drill platoons,
nine drill teams and five wom
en's exhibition drill teams are
now registered for the meet.
Nebraska's Cadence Countess

contacts are: men he went
to school with, friends he
has met through their inter
est in track, alumni of the
University and his former
athletes.

These sources send the
times, heights and distances
plus other information on
prospective collegiate track
athletes to Sevigne.
"Former athletes are my
best source of information
regarding prospects," Se-'
Jv
cerning the details of the re
cently proposed Spring Rush
weekend were submitted to
the Interfraternity Council
(IFC) last night.
Each house will discuss
possible answers to these
questions and report its deci
sion at the next week's meet
ing. Jim Hix, rush committee
chairman, said, "Several
problems have occurred in
planning a Spring Rush week
end. When to have it, whether
or not to use bid cards, and
the length of the weekend,
are just a sampling of the de
tails involved."
In other committee reports,
Affairs committee chairman
John Lonnquist reported that
the Greek Week Ball will be
significantly changed from
previous years.
'We could bring in a group
like the Astro's from Colorado
to make it a casual affair,".
Lonnquist said. "If this were
done, I believe a substantial
majority of the Greeks would
attend and thus make the af
fair a highlight of Greek
Week," he said.
A motion to permit both
Greeks and Independents to
attend the ball was introduced
but postponed until next
week. Bill Buckley, president
of the IFC, said that the mo

vigne said. For example,
Keith Gardner, who still
holds several Big E'ight
records and who is now a
high school track coach in
Kingston, Jamaica, inter
ested Sevigne in Victor
Brooks, now a Cornhusker
trackster who is a leading
contender for the Big Eight
Championship in the broad
jump.
If Sevigne feels that the
prepster has potential, he
contacts him, many times
by telephony. Sevigne said
that he runs up a pretty big
phone bill each summer.
Sevigne likes to contact
each prospect personally, if
possible. He also likes to
see the boy run, but many
times this is not possible
as the college and high
school track seasons prac
tically coincide.
"If you can see a kid run,
you can look for his physi
cal potentialities," Sevigne
said. Speed, regardless of
the race the boy runs, and
size thin and not short
legged are characteris
tics of fine runners, he
added.
"You can find examples
to disprove this theory, but
a track coach can tell class

"It is just plain getting out

much value as saying we
should impeach the Governor
because he cut four million
dollars out of his recommen

get. We re trying to do some
thing serious, so let's do it."
With this comment by Dick
Weill, Student Council began
a short discussion on Steve
Christensen's motion that
Council advocate reform of
women's regulations.
The resolution, which was
defeated, read:
"Whereas, regulations as to
women's housing and hours
are unduly restrictive, de
grading, and drastically in
need of revision 'at the Uni
versity; and
"Whereas, we, the Student
Council of the University of
Nebraska believe firmly in
equality of the sexes; and
"Whereas, we deem the
steps taken by the Universi
ties of Texas, Oklahoma, Mi
chigan and Wisconsin to be
concomitant with, and exem
plary of the emancipated stat
us of the American woman;
"Now therefore be it re
solved: That the Student
Council go on record as ad
vocating needful reform of the
outdated and puritanical reg
ulations as presently estab
lished by administration and
enforced by AWS." I
Union To Sponsor
Hallam Plant Tour
The Union Trips and Tours
committee is sponsoring a
trip to the Hallam Nuclear
Plant March 9, which will
give University students an
opportunity to see atomic pow
er at work, according to Su
sie Pierce, trips and tours
committee chairman.
The nuclear facility at Hal
lam distinguishes Nebraska
from all other states and na
tions, Miss Pierce said. It is
the world's first full scale nu
clear plant employing a so
dium graphite reactor.
It is also the nation's first
commercial nuclear plant
west of the Mississippi, she
said.
The reactor, designed by
Atomics International for the
Atomic Energy Commission,
is undergoing testing opera
tions and is scheduled for full
power later this year. The
building which houses the re
actor is eight stories tall and
extends the same distance be
low ground.
Involves
when he sees it," Sevigne
emphasized.
An example of Sevigne's
ability to spot that class is
freshman Dave Crook of
Bellevue, whom Sevigne
says is going to be a good
half-miler.
"Crook's times in high
school did not indicate he
would be good in college,"
Sevigne said, "If we relied
on times alone, we would
not have been interested in
him." Crook has tdready
run a 1:58 half-mile this
year.
Proof of Sevigne's recruit
ing success is the prediction
that Nebraska's track team
is a leading contender for
the Big Eight Indoor Cham
pionship for the second
straight year.
But when one trys to pre
dict the winner of the Kan-,
sas City meet of tomorrow
and Saturday, he again runs
into the unreliability of com
paring times, heights and
distances.
First, the field houses,
where these marks are
made, vary as to size and
type of track. For example,
a :51 Quarter on Nebraska's
Christensen pointed out that
Wisconsin and Michigan give
senior girls keys and have no
sign out sheets. They lock the
doors at certain times.
Sally Larson, AWS repre
sentative on Council, said
that AWS is aware of regula
tions at other universities, and
is always willing to look for
changes if needed.
Christensen said, "I felt
that the similar actions of oth
er colleges should be consid
ered here. Moderate modifi
cations should be made in the
regulations." You can't leg
islate morals, he added. He
also noted that most seniors
are of legal age to vote and
drink and other priveleges
should necessarily follow.
In other action, Council de
feated the following motion
by Bill Dunklau because of
a lack of reasonable and ade
quate enforcement:
"Whereas, it is the func
tion of the student traffic flow
committee to study the prob
lem of traffic flow in major
campus buildings and conse
quently make recommenda
tions; and
"Whereas, the committee
has tried three one-way sys
tems in Burnett Hall and
found that these systems ac
tually help the flow;
"Whereas the third system
The total cost of the plant,
including research, develop
ment and engineering is $57
million, of which the AEC
contributed $51 million and
Consumers Public Power $5
million.
An additional cost of $20
million was required to install
the turbine generator, fossil
fuel boiler and plant auxili
aries. The plant is capable
of producing 75,000 kilowatts
of electricity, or enough to
supply power for a city of a
100,000 population.
According to Miss Pierce the
tour will consist of an explan
ation of the plant's functions
and facilities by a guide, ob
serving a model of the plant
and a tour through the plant
Bus transportation will be
provided to and from Hallam
at a cost of $1. Interested
students may sign up at the
Union Program Office.
The number of students for
the trip has been limited to
65, Miss Pierce said.
indoor track is equal to a
:50 quarter on many other
tracks.
Another unknown is t h e
competitor's personality. Is
he able to get up for the
big meet, or will he choke
up?
"A guy can have a time
of :06.2 in the 60-yard dash,
but it doesn't mean much if
he hasn't beaten anybody.
It is more important to see
whom he has beaten, than
what time he has run it in,"
Sevigne said.
A good example of this is
provided by the Nebraska
Colorado track meet of Feb.
16. One Colorado vaulter
cleared 12-6; another did not
do that well, but both of
those Buff vaulters had pre
viously cleared 13-9.
Will Nebraska win its
first Big Eight Champion
ship in any sport since 1950?
Will the Husker track team
be privileged to wear white
"N" sweaters white let
ter sweaters worn only by
Big Eight Champions? Ne
braskans will know Satur

Coach Sevigne said,
"That's what makes ath

element of the unknown."

is the most desirable from the
standpoint of the students;
"Therefore, be it resolved
that Student Council present
one-way signs in Burnett Hall
be established on a perma
nent basis and a suitable
method of enforcement be en
acted." Doug Thom reported that
the first of the noon luncheon
programs for the senators,
"Statehouse Luncheons" will
be held Thursday with five
senators, and Lt. Gov. Dwight
Burney. Five students from
each of their districts have
been contacted to dine with
them. The next program is
planned for March 21.
Don Burt announced that
Susie Pierce is new chairman
of the academic and faculty
committee.

election for May Queen wiU

9 a.m. to 5 p.m., on Ag cam

Dunklau announced that the
