I heard about a guy who had six hour exams and two papers due. If it wasn't papers or tests, there was always the thought of the ap proaching three hour sessions at which many of us will attempt to prove to instructors that the semester was not completely wasted. ' Or if a guy was just, plain lazy last week, he could have reminisced "of how swell things used to be. Remem ber when : in high school tests were gleefully considered a way out of lecture. ONCE I had a question requiring the brain storage of the number of states . . . rugged. after six University parking tickets the fine was stiU $1. when guys didn't begin to date search until Thurs day. That was back in the '30's, according to Mrs. Fred M. Akin, now a mother.) before becoming 21, drinking beer was fun. a paper showed up with a "9" or a term paper was placed before an instructor on the required date. The cus tom is now one week late, with 30 per cent less sources than originally required.) A Peachy Year Remember when things weren't even very hot on the athletic fields either? No longer. A look over in the north west corner of the campus an athletic rainbow spread over a sometimes academic cloud. I hadn't thought about it much until Dick Perry, KFOR sportscaster, put me back in Memorial Stadium for a Willie Ross 17-yard scamper around right end on the Cornhusker record and Athletic Director Tippy Dye flashed a Big Eight cham pionship and Orange Bowl football ring victory. I suspect the gleam that was in his eyes was not only for the jewelers' craftsmanship, but also for the said vic tories placing Nebraska ON THE TOP. It was not only football, the most important from the fans' standpoint, that reaped athletic excellence. Whoever visioned at the beginning of the season the Cornhusker basketball team beating Oklahoma State, 54 53 . . . knocking off Missouri, 74-69, in overtime . . . coining so close to defeating league champ Kansas State . . . convincingly beat the tallest team in the nation, Oklahoma City ... or even winning the first game against fairly potent Wyoming, 79-72. Credit coaches Joe Cipriano, Glenn Potter and Bob Gates. I never thought much of wrestling until I became ac quainted with Bob Mancuso, now departed NU coach. As Dye pointed out upon Mancuso's resignation he not only did a good job at the University but also increased wrestling interest throughout the state. His team finished only sixth in the conference, but Mancuso's loss will be felt by all. And, of course, the gymnasts Big Eight championship brought another feather in the Cornhusker . cap. Complet ing the winter sports the swimming team splashed to a third in the conference meet, an outstanding effort for a group of mainly underclassmen. The Spring Frosting If the above results don't convince you, the fellows in spring sports should have. They pulled off the biggest sur prise. Especially the track team. After a dismal sixth place finish in the indoor meet, the thinclads romped to six first places and a surprising second placing finish in the conference outdoor. The baseball team couldn't have done, or been ex pected to do, as well as it did this 9-18 season. Of course, a pennant was not won but such wasn't expected with seven sophomores in the regular lineup. Coach Tony Sharpe's bunch ended 7-14 in the Big Eight standings, good for sixth. So on for the tennis team with its 12-5 dual record and tie for fourth in the conference meet. Not bad con sidering those southern members (Oklahoma, Kansas, Oklahoma State, Kansas State) get better spring weather. Same holds for the golf team, an eighth place finisher at the Big Eight meet. But the Cornhuskers were com-: pletely underclassed among the top swingers, so things are brightening there. .1 Next year? . . .

Big Bob Brown Is the DAILY NEBRASKAN selec tion for Outstanding Varsity Athlete of the year and ' he took this latest honor as grate fully and quietly as he has all of his other awards. The 6-5, 270-plus guard hails from Cleveland Ohio. There he did his prep football play ing under Coach William Udovic. As a high schooler, Brown lettered three years in both football and track for East Tech High. A lineman in high school, Brown indicated he holds the typical lineman's dream of scoring a touchdown when he recounted his greatest prep sports thrill. "I once intercepted a screen pass and ran 40 yards for a touchdown," he saidj. Brown got his start in ath letics by being born into a sports minded family. H i s father operates a business in Cleveland and is an avid sports fan. Brown's first taste of organized playing came when he played ninth grade football.

I ON THE WATER i LINCOLN, NEBR. after consultation with many colleges. Brown said he was very well impressed with the representative that Nebraska, sent to talk to him and that played a part in his final de cision. The general feeling today is that athletic ability and classroom ability don't go to gether. Nebraska has a lot of exceptions to this feeling, and Brown . is certainly, o n e of them. Brown accomplished the almost-unheard-of feat of graduating mid-year after his final season of eligibility. But Brown is not satisied with a bachelor's degree; he has stayed on campus this se mester to begin a program of graduate study. His field is school admini stration and his reasons for the selection are highly com mendable. "I believe this is a good field for anyone," he said. "But it is a especially a good one for a Negro. He can get ahead in this field and do well in it.' Brown is planning on com pleting his master's degree although this wilt have to be worked in around a pro foot ball stint with the Philadel phia Eagles. Brown wore a big grin when he said he re ports to the Eagles on July 15. Brown's athletic triumphs at the University have been numerous. Last fall, the husky guard was constantly the subject of such quotes as "Nebraska's line, utilizing the bruising strength of Bob PHOTO BY DeFRAIN day CAPITOL BEACH LAKE 1 u Brown . . ." and "Today, the Huskers were led defensively by Bob Brown." Key clutch plays were com mon with Brown. In the Homecoming contest with Colorado, Brown jarred CU quarterback Frank Cesarek for a Nebraska recovered fumble and late in the game batted down a Cesarek pass that had touchdown written all over it. Against Oklahoma State, Brown may have saved the game. Toward the end of the fourth quarter, O-State tried an onside kick. It Brown hadn't fallen on top of the ball, the Cowboys could have easily recovered it and made a touchdown drive that would have won the game for them. In lighter moments, Husker fans will recall how Brown pasted a picture of Carl El ler, Minnesota's AU-American tackle candidate, inside his locker to "psyc" himself up for the Gopher title. They'll remember how Brown refused to shave his beard until the Huskers beat Missouri in 1962 he shaved it just before the Missouri game and the Huskers lost. But most of all, Nebraska and Bob Brown will remem ber that he made All-Americathe epitomy of all foot-ball-dom. "I think every guy dreams of being All-America," Brown said. "It has to go down as my greatest sports thrill."
