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.

Committee hunting
for new law dean
The search is on for a new dean of the Law College,
according to search committee chairman Donald
Shaneyfelt, assistant dean of the College of Law and Pro
fessional Law.
Henry Crether Jr. stepped down as Dean of the Law
College after 10 years, but will remain in the department

The Law College is looking for someone with academic
and administrative experience. Law school experience i3
desired, but not mandatory.
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.
