page 6 daily nebraskan Engineer pros, students teame Obtaining experience in the real world is one aim of the College of Engineering's "Protege Program, according to Assistant Engineering Professor James L. Thomas, program coordinator. The program, from November until April, matches a student with a professional in the student's field of engineering, Thomas said. This gives more exposure of our students to the pro fessional world, he said, in addition to letting students practice theories learned in class. Doug Brackhan, an electrical engineering student from Cordova, Neb., was matched with Bruce Abernathy, head of the Systems Control Dept. at Lincoln Electric System (LES), 421 So. 9th St. LES tour Brackhan said he and Abernathy toured the LES build ing during their first meeting. Abernathy said they will tour the Engineering Dept. and power stations around Lincoln next week. Charles Soukup, a structural engineer for Concrete Industries, Inc. at 6300 Cornhusker Hwy., said he has met once with civil engineering student John Fairfield of Bogota, Columbia. Soukup said he discussed with Fairfield some past and present projects he had done for the company. Soukup said he stressed to Fairfield that "everything starts with the simple basics you learn in school." He said they plan to meet next weekend to visit a construction site. Soukup added that he liked the program. "I like to make sure that young engineers will under stand and get a feeling toward the profession," he said. The program's 26 students are sophomores through seniors. They were selected through student chapters such as the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), Thomas said. Two students from each of the 13 engineering, construction management and computer science departments at UNL and UNO are approved by department chairmen. The department chairman then selected two pro fessionals to be matched, by interest area, with the two students , he said. Kick-off lunch The student is introduced to his professional at a "Kick off Luncheon which starts the program each November. Here the two may set up goals and schedule meetings according to their own needs and interests, Thomas said. This luncheon is the only role the college plays in the pro gram until a closing banquet during Engineering Week, he said. In April both student and professional evaluate the pro gram. Thomas said evaluations have indicated almost every one thinks the program, in its fifth year, is beneficial. m Special: Squirt or 7-up 83 cents 6 pk OLY 12 pk $3.05 warm I Stanard's Foodliner 13th and K I!

Other law colleges are being contacted and the search committee hopes to be finished by mid -March. Interim Chancellor Adam Breckenridge said he tried to get a '1road range of representation.' Six law faculty members were chosen for the committee after consulting the department, Breckenridge said. Two law students were selected from Student Bar Association nominations, two Nebraska Bar Association members were chosen and one at large faculty member was picked. Joan Wadlow from the Political Science Dept. is the at-Iarge representative, Breckenridge said, because of the close association of law and political science.
