Gold is dedicated to those men who gave their lives in the service of our country. In memorial to those men, the alumni and students of Nebraska State College have given generously to build the Memorial Union, which was finished in 1958. As we enter the halls of this beautiful, new building, let us not forget that it stands as a memorial to our buried heroes who gave their all, that we might live to appreciate the advantages of a college education, js Landmarks North HaJ], a dormitor for freshman women, was completed in 1957, at a cost of $300,000. Case Hall is another of the freshman women's dorms, and is a familiar college landmark, Martin Hill is the home of the upperclass women on campus. Well known for its beautiful lounge, and friendly occupants. Years of dreams, work. planning, and fund raising were ended this year as the Memorial Student Union became a reality. The one story brick structure, costing more than 5300,000., was completed so that occupancy could be taken in September,, 1958, The cost of the building will be paid by alumni donations and by sale of revenue bonds. Located in the building is a snack bar seating 95 a dining hall capable of seating 400 at one time, and offices for the Student Council, Antelope, Blue and Gold, and Union director. The lobby off the snack bar opens into the game room and lounge area. « The home away from home is the slogan of the new Memorial Union. The A. O. Thomas Campus School is well known for the training, of NSC elementary teachers. Twenty students are enrolled in each of the grades from Kindergarten through Sixth. NSC's famous Crackerbox gymnasium may soon be replaced by a long hoped for field house and stadium. The Home Management house for NSC is known as one of the best managed households in the state. The home eco- nomics department majors call it home for nine weeks during their senior year. The NSC Administration building contains many classrooms in addition to the many offices necessary for the administration of the college. The Vocational Arts building, or “V.A., as it is better known to the students houses the Business, Industrial Arts, and Home: Economics departments. cn J 97 STUDENT UFE The Student Life at Nebraska State College at Kear- ney, Nebraska, is anything but dull. In the fall of the year, the big word on Campus is Homecoming. Home- coming floats, campus displays, and an air of festivity start the year out right. Bronco Days, Homecoming, Freshman Week, and various other celebrations keep the students interested, and provide a release from the usual nightly studying. In all, one might say that in Kearney, life is never dull. Those freshman orientation tests are surely time con- suming, All freshmen are required to take a series of tests which will indicate the interests and abilities of the student. They Call Each student is given a name card to pin on his coat, to help get acquainted. Freshman students arc entertained by the Student Council during the traditional Freshman Week. The punch was delicious. 14 The week before class registration is devoted to the freshmen and all new students, as a short course of orientation to college life. The Student Council plays the part of host for this week, and provides a different type entertain- ment for each night. This year, it was dances, water- melon feeds, and picnics. Of course, college life is not all play, and to prove tliis, the college gives all kinds of tests. There are tests to see what kind of vocation one should enter, and also tests to indicate one's ability in the various fields of education. In all, the activities of freshman week are very enjoyable and educational. ill It Freshman Week The beginning of a long day. Registration is always a nerve- racking but necessary evil.

STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE KEARNEY, NEBRASKA First Place Float in the 1958 Homecoming Parade. The Omega Delta Pi fraternity walked off with first place with their Elevating Rocket and panel board. NSC HOME' Hopeful Waiting, Candidates for the 1958 Homecoming Queen were Judy Anderson, Marlys Ecklund, Alycc Sanderman, Janice Stone, and Donna Bradshaw. MThe best Homecoming I have ever attended. This remark was heard many times during the day of October 4, 1958. The Homecoming activities cli- maxed many hours of careful prep- arations for this one day. The day started with a parade up Central Avenue to the college. The parade centered around the colorful floats of the fraternities and sororities, accompanied by the bands of the surrounding high schools. The theme of the 1958 Homecoming was the space age. Following the parade, most of the alumni and students attended the many luncheons and brunches provided by their old organiza- tions. Down With Wayne, was the battle cry preceding the Homecom- ing game. The battle which fol- lowed was filled with excitement to the halftime when the Home- coming Queen was crowned by President Cushing.

Miss Sanderman was presented the royal robe by Miss Pat Ott, who was the 1957 Homecoming Queen. Also during the halftime break, the winning floats were announced to cap the waiting for the fraternities and sororities. The Omega Delta Pi fra- ternity won first place with their elevating rocket and panel board. The Tri Phi Fraternity placed second with a Purple People-Eater ' astride a large rocket. Third place was taken by the Sigma Theta Phi sorority with a huge white float. The second half of the game was as well received as the first, if not more so. The final gun found the Kearney Antelopes out in front by some 56 points, while the Wildcats went home scoreless. To end a perfect day, the new Student Union was the scene of the Homecoming Ball. Millard Musil and his orchestra provided the music, and most were ready to call it a day, when the balmy strains of Good-Night ' floated over the ballroom floor, 17 Space Minded Floats The Caledonian Fraternity added beauty to their float while keeping with the Homecoming theme, Tri-Phi's entry of a purple people-eater astride a rocket took second place in the float contest. Third place was awarded to the Sigma Theta Phi for their col- orful float depicting clouds. The smokingest rocket of them all was the Delta Pi Beta's entry. The Phi Tau Gamma float gave the parade a glimpse of an unearthly monster overlooking a football field. hile This float entered by the Kappa Alpha Pi was typical of the Wayne football squad following the game. A rocket to victory was the choice of the Zetns in the 1958 Homecoming Parade. The freshman class featured another rocket with the slogan count down to victory. Exhibition of outstanding school spirit is provided by two underclassmen. Bronco Days Are New Highlight of Football Season. Man, talk about rivalry. This college sure has its share ' Hastings College bore the brunt of this rivalry, when the Antelopes loped home, the winners, 35 to 13. The rivalry between these two neighboring colleges has always been enough reason to paint up each other’s campus, and in general try to be obnoxious. On the NSC Campus, the week before the game on Friday is filled with beardgrowing and horseplay. This year, a few extras appeared in the form of an old shanty with a sign from the Hastings College Campus, pro- claiming a Welcome to Hastings College ’ Of course, one could not omit the presence of one Senor Burro ’ who graced the lawn in front of the new Memorial Union for a few days. Perhaps one of the highlights of the week was the Thursday night pep rally. Over 1000 students attended the hour long affair while logs, boxes, etc. burned. In all, Bronco Days this year was a great success. 20 Fite, Kearney, Fite! The pep rally the night before the Hastings game. Big hats are the mark of distinction this season.

The checkbooks are out, and after this window is passed, the checkbook is empty. This line is perhaps the most tedious of all since One cannot register without class cards, and it doesn't do any good to tell the girls that you are a senior, when really you are a freshman, 26 JOHN B.

Cushing has again maintained rhe high standards of the College. His capable leadership, friendly smile, and intense interest in the students have endeared him to all connected with the col- lege.

Each dean spends much time in consultation with each student during the school year. Also part of their duties is the running of the student dormitories. They are responsible for assigning rooms, keeping the dorms quiet for studying, and various other duties. Perhaps their busiest time comes just after down lists are distributed each six weeks as they attempt to talk personalty with each student who is on the down lists. DOROTHY C. WILLIAMS . . .

Highlights of the year were the Homecoming Dance, Sweet- heart Bail, and spring formal. Phi Tau active Roger Farrar served as president of the Student Council and Doug Metz, Robbie Armagost, Neal Davis, and Charles Sheffield served as representative-at-large members of the Council. Other members joined these men in participating in other campus activities. Phi Taus were active in drama, speech, music, football, track, basketball, and radio work on the campus. Much work was done during the year by actives and Phi Tau alumni toward starting a chapter of the frat at another state teachers college here in Nebraska. Work also continued toward the purchase of a fraternity house.

In addition, over 100 men report for the football practices, over 2 50 men participate in the intramural basketball pro gram, and 150 men turn out for track competition. The sports program at Nebraska State fulfills one of the basic needs of human beings—exercise of the body. The success of the department’s teachers and coaches is shown by the first place track, football, and cross country teams in conference competition. Women are not left out, either, as they take part in volleyball, girls' basketball, dancing, swimming, Wag- oneers, and seasonal sports. 130 OFFENSIVE TEAM members (kneeling) were Charlie Thorell, Bob Clay, Garey Yocum, Bill Welle.

Coach Allen Zikmund was also considered as NAIA Coach of the Year. Next year's team should be as good as this year’s. The 1958 edition of the Nebraska State College football squad again proved that NSC football is the best in Nebraska, Coach Allen Zikmund's 1958 Antelopes completed an undefeated season—the second in three years—as they tromped nine opponents and scored 389 points to their opposition’s 42.

Forty-eight saw action in the second game as the coaches gave all suited up a chance to show their football prowess. It is difficult to name best players, though Harry Boss, Sherin Smith, and Jerry Journey looked good. DRAGON STADIUM, MOORHEAD, MINNESOTA, September 13, 1958. TOO MUCH POWER was the key to Nebraska State's 44-0 victory over the Moorhead, Minnesota Dragons. The hosts could make but three first downs, all in the first half against the invading Nebraskans. Meanwhile the Antelopes run and passed almost at will in a game played in a driving rain throughout. Moorhead opened the game with a drive which took them to the Kearney seven yard line before it bogged down. The Kearney defensive line stiffened there and the Antelopes took over on downs. It took just five plays for the hard-running Kearney backs to score, Boroff ripped off a 44 yard run and Larry Jacobson slid off tackle for 26. To cap the march Gary Smicit scooted around end for nine yards and the first touchdown of the season. Gene Lawhead ran around end for two points to make the score 8-0. Early in the second quarter, Lawhead scored on a four-yard plunge after a run by Jacobson had placed the ball in paydirt land. Moments later, defensive star Doug Marcy, starting his first game for NSC, blocked a Moorhead kick. This time Lawhead passed for eight yards to Jim Jacobs who was all alone in the end zone for a touchdown. Smidt ran for the extra points. Still in the quarter, Gary Johnson covered an opponent’s fumble to give Kearney possession deep in Moorhead territory. Lawhead scored on a three-yard run. The Antelopes added two touchdowns in the third quarter. A pass to Smidt from Lawhead good for 28 yards scored the first counter. Jacobson ran for the extra points. Claire Boroff scored the final touchdown on a ten-yard sweep. During the fourth quarter, the reserves saw action for fifteen minutes as Coach Allen Zikmund cleared the bench and gave all 41 who made the trip a chance to play.

Forty- nine gridders saw action as the Antelopes easily drubbed the Fort Hays Tigers, 35 to 7. The game began as a great defensive battle as neither offensive unit was able to move against the opponent's defensive team. Fort Hays threat- ened early in the game as a Kansan pirated a Gene Lawhead pass on the Kearney 35 yard line. The visitors moved the ball to the NSC 12 yard line before Kearney took over on downs. In an exchange of punts, Bill Peck fielded the kick on the mid-field stripe and returned it to the Hays 25 yard line. Claire Boroff scored on a one-yard punch four plays later, and kicked the extra point. During a majority of the second period, Kear- ney fumbles, penalties, and blocked kicks kept the hosts in hot water. Hays continually kept applying pressure, but was unable to score. The Antelopes did not fold under the pressure and with just one minute in the half scored again as Gary Smidt caught a Lawhead aerial on the eight yard line and bulled his way to the end zone. Boroff again converted. The Antelopes struck quickly in the third period. In less than a minute and a half, they scored as Smidt took a Hays punt on his own 20 yard line and raced 80 yards to score. Boroff kicked the extra point. The Tigers scored their only touchdown as Chuck Stegman blocked a Lawhead punt. Vernon picked up the bouncing ball and ran the 25 yards to score. The final quarter saw Kearney scoring two touchdowns. Larry Jacobson caught a 20 yard pass from Lawhead, and Lawhead scored the other one on a one yard quarterback sneak. Boroff kicked both tries. BILL LAMBERT Senior Center BOB DESCH Senior Guard Warriors Score First Against Kearney MEMORIAL STADIUM, FREMONT, SEPTEM- BER 26. For the first time this season, the NSC Antelopes found themselves behind the opponents, as the Midland Warriors took an early 6-0 lead over the Kearney ites, but the touchdown served only to motivate the visitors. Botli teams were unable to move the ball much early in the game as punts featured the evening's play. Late in the opening quarter, Midland drove to the Kearney 35 yard line. On a fourth down pass play, the Warriors scored as a defending Antelope back batted the Midland aerial into the hands of a Lutheran end. The Antelopes struck back with a vengeance as Larry Jacobson scored two touchdowns, one on a 32 yard run and the last on a pass from Gene Lawhcad. Scoring the other two touchdowns, one each in the third and fourth quarters, were Claire Boroff and Don Wisch. Boroff added his counter on a 20 yard run while Wisch caught a nine yard pitch from Lawhcad in the end zone. Boroff kicked all four extra points. Lawhead's aerials kept the hosts on the defensive all evening as he connected with 10 of 22 for a total passing yardage of 153. Defensively, Dave Duff, Grand Island frosh, and Wisch, Norfolk JC transfer, led the NSC’ers. All 33 men on the traveling squad saw action as Coach Allen Zikmund attempted to keep the score within respectful limits. One more step and Gary Smidt will have his first down as Midland defenders close in on him. Paul Peterson seems hemmed in by Midland Warriors, but somehow he evaded the trap and made more yardage.

Everybody got into the act. Bill Peck, substitute back, is off for yardage against a badly beaten Wayne aggregation Wayne Is Humbled by “Up” Antelopes COLLEGE STADIUM, OCTOBER 4. A standing room only crowd of returning alums and friends of the college gathered for the annual Homecom- ing festivities saw the football team definitely shatter the Homecoming game jinx which had shackled the teams for years as the NSC team tromped the Wayne Wildcats 56-0. Actually at half time, the partisan crowd won- dered if the jinx might still be in force as the hosts could manage only a 7-0 lead. No one has decided just what sparked the second-half deluge. Some contend that the coaches gave the players the success formula during half time, while others feel that the turning point came early in the third quarter when a player from each team was ejected from the game for boxing.” Whatever the cause, the Antelopes started scoring and could not be stopped even after the coaches had cleared the bench and allowed everyone suited up for the contest to see action. Scoring honors went to Jerry Rerucha with two touchdowns. He scored once on a spectacular 65 yard punt return and again on a six yard pass from Jack Wilson. Other scores were made by end Jim Jacobs and backs Gary Smidt, Gene Lawhead, Larry Jacobson, Ken Kuhn and Bob Campbell, Perhaps the most crowd pleasing one was Camp- bell's, as the shifty little speedster fielded a Wildcat punt on his own 48 yard line and threaded his way into the end zone for a 52 yard score. Boroff added seven conversions, Larry Holland kicked one, and Campbell caught a Don Patton pass for the other extra point. Blocking on defense was outstanding as Gary Johnson and Bill Peck really lowered the boom on the visitors time after time. Defensive standouts included Don Wisch, Dick O'Neill, Bill Weltc, Chuck Bolton, Dave Dutf, and Jerry Ball.

Victory number five was earned by the Nebraska State College Antelopes here as they easily overran the Doane Tigers 32-0. It was the first time since 1932 that the Ante- lopes had been able to hold the Doane scjuad scoreless. Claire Boroff s conversion record of extra point kicks ended at 18, but he began another skein as he made two successful conversions after miss- ing two. The game saw Larry Jacobson as scoring leader as the Homer Thunderbolt scored two touch- downs, one on a three yard plunge, and the other on a 10 yard gallop. Other Antelopes scoring were Gary Smidt, Claire Boroff, and Don Wisch, re- ceiver of a pass from Gene Lawhead. Defensively, Dave Duff, Don Wisch, Jerry Ball, Bill Wdte, Dick O’Neill, and Gary Johnson stood out. The game statistics were even more decisive for the Kearney eleven. The visitors gained 277 yards rushing and 119 passing as contrasted to the Tigers 144 and 21. Perhaps one thing which tended to keep the score down was the fact that the big game—the Hastings battle—was just one week away. The Hastings team was in the stands to watch the game so the Antelopes used nothing but straight plays, not caring to give the Bronco players the benefit of observing any new plays or changes in planning. i Scoring the first touchdown of the evening is Homer Thunderbolt Jacobson as he is two steps from the goal line.

Revenge was sweet for the Nebraska State College Ante- lopes as the Zikmund coached squad erased their only loss during the past three seasons by decisively drubbing the Hastings College Broncos 35 to 13 before 4,500 fans. Apparently the burning of an H in the middle of the Kearney gridiron infuriated the NSC foot- ball players to complete a success Bronco Week by downing the Broncs in a convincing manner. Coach Allen Zikmund substituted freely in a fray as forty-four men saw action as contrasted to the only 16 men who were used by Hastings coach Tom McLaughlin. The Broncos won the toss and elected to receive. They drove to the NSC 28 where they lost the ball on downs. The Antelopes took over and drove to the HC six where they lost the ball on a fumble. Hastings was unable to move the ball and when they kicked, Don Wisch blocked it. Goa fell on the bouncing ball to put Kearney in scoring position. On the second play of second quarter, Gary Smidt threw a 24 yard pass to Charlie Thorell. The second touchdown came moments later as Kearney moved 42 yards in nine plays as Boroff rolled the last one to score. On the ensuing kickoff, Hastings got back into the game as Ron Berry can the ball back 94 yards. The second half saw Kearney continue its mastery. The first score came as Lawhead passes set up the score before he sneaked six yards the touchdown. for The final quarter found Kearney scoring to match its second quarter output. The first one came on an eight play, 64 yard drive, Jacobson ripped off runs of 28 and 2 yards before he scored. Min- utes later Dick O'Neill, blocked another Osborne punt and Jim Jacobs chased the ball across the goal line for a TD. Boroff kicked all the extra points. At this point, Coach Zikmund substituted freely and Hastings scored against the reserves. Pequette took an Osborne pass in a play that covered over fifty yards.

The Neb- raska Wesleyan Plainsmen threw a scare into the NSC Antelopes before they succumbed to the vaunted Kearney power 14-0, The Antelopes were definitely hampered by the loss of ace-quarterback Gene Lawhead who was injured during the first series of plays in the opening quarter and had to leave the game. Coach Zikmund reached down in his reserves and came up with sophomore Nelson Hinkle as substitute for the injured field general. Also out-of-action were Gary Smidt, who was fighting a bout with virus pneumonia, and Bob Clay, who was on the sidelines with an injured knee. With Hinkle taking over the quarterbacking chores, the Antelopes took nearly a half getting adjusted to his type of handoffs and passes. Once they became converted to his style of quarterback- ing, they marched up and down the field at will. Their running and passing totaled nearly 500 yards, but they were unable to penetrate the Wesleyan end zones. Numerous times they nearly scored, but could not muster the umph to put the pigskin across the double stripe. Scoring the first touchdown was Jerry Rerucha, who snagged a Hinkle aerial and sped into the end zone. The spectacular play covered 56 yards. The Antelopes iced the game as Claire Boroff scored on an eight yard blast through the middle to end a 63 yard drive. Boroff also kicked both extra points. Defensively Jim Jacobs, Ollie Goa, and Chuck Bolton led the parade. The crowd at the game was rather small since the college students were at home during Teachers Convention, This is no wrestling match, fellows I want some help, says Larry Jacobson as he attempts to make a first down. He had the greatest night of his college career against the Plainsmen. Scoring the clinching touchdown late in the game is Claire Boroff on an eight yard play.

The third unit allowed the score while the Viking's other counter came on a 35 yard pass on a fourth down and 30 yard play. All told, the team gained a total of 628 yards.

The team won every dual meet they entered, defeated all Nebraska competition, captured the Nebraska College Con- ference title, took first place in the NAIA District XI meet at Omaha, and placed in the national NAIA Meet. Next year’s team should be another winning one as only two are lost by graduation. Presenting the Cross Country team captain with his pen set (symbolic of the captaincy) is Coach Charlie Foster.

Coach Les Livingston’s crew drew a bye in the first evening’s games, and advanced to the second round con- test against the Donne Tigers, Inability to handle the ball and poor rebounding also contributed to a 59 to 51 defeat at the hands of the Crete five, The game was played in the new spacious Pershing Memorial Auditorium. Scoring honors for Kearney went to Gary Smidt and Paul Collison both of whom hit for 18 points. The Antelopes trailed the entire first half and were behind at half time 34 to 29. The NSC'ers finally tied the game at 49-49 before the Donne crew pulled away to win. Playing in the consolation bracket for third place, the Antelopes were dumped again, this time by Midland. This contest saw the Antelopes showing a much better squad effort as the previous night's game aided materially in culling the errors. Defeat can be attributed to the Midland team's height as they averaged five inches per man taller than the NSC crew. The team trailed throughout the entire game, many times by margin of over ten points. Late in the final half, however, they pulled to within three points before Midland pulled away to win. For Kearney Smidt had 16 points, and Collison and Harry Boss each had 12. Again, Coach Les Living- ston played seventeen men as he gave all men on the traveling squad a chance to play.

Fort Hays Dumps Antelopes 69-46 Kearney played their first home1' game in Axtell as they tangled with the Fort Hays Tigers. The seasoned Kansans dis- played a balanced attack as they bombarded the Antelopes. The Fort Hays crew averaged 6 feet 5 inches and used their height to a great advantage against the short NSC'ers. They also showed the effects of having worked together for some time and won with ease. For Kearney, Smidt again hit 18 points to lead his teammates. Next high scorer was Collison with 6. Reaching for the basket in the Lincoln tourney is Paul Collison while Doane defenders watch. Antelopes Dump Colorado Mines for First Win A long road trip proved to be a tonic for the three-times beaten Kearney crew as they journeyed to Golden, Colorado to battle the Colorado School of Mines Again it was the wizardy of Gary Smidt that led the Antelopes. He potted 21 points including a perfect nine for nine at the free throw line. Collison again was second man in line with 15 markers. The Antelopes led most of the game, although a last second shot at the first half buzzer gave the Miners a 22 to 21 lead. The visitors went back into the lead early in the second half and stayed ahead for the 20 minutes of play to win 52 to 47. The game was the final non-conference game of the Antelopes. Midland Repeats Win Over Antelopes; Kearney Outraces Concordia in Pre-Christmas Games Going up for two points on a drive in shot is Gary Smidt as two Midland defenders attempt to block his shot. The Midland Warriors continued their mastery over the Antelopes as they beat the traveling Kearney crew 37-77 in a game played at Fremont. Again, it was a matter of too much height for the short Kearney five as the Midland team controlled both backboards, never giving the locals much of a chance for a second shot. Dennis Groves led all scorers as he hit for 26 points for the hometown team. For Kearney, Smidt and Collison each made eleven while Bill Peck connected for 10. During most of the game the Warriors maintained a 10 to 15 point lead, although Paul Collison led a last half surge that pulled the Antelopes to within six points at 79 to 73, but the Warriors blunted the drive. Victory number one in conference play came at the expense of the Concordia Bulldogs. The game was a rough affair as the referees called 51 fouls during the game. For Kearney, the game came hard as they trailed the home town Seward crew led for 30 minutes of the game. This game saw Smidt being outscored for the first, time during the season as Collison hit 20 to his 19. Collison was hot on the boards too as he cleared both boards for the Antelopes. Others helping out were Don Nelson, Bill Peck, George Haun, and Tom Williams. This Wesleyan defender didn't have a chance to shoot with ail the Kearney team guarding the basket area. Bill Peck gives him the bum’s rush. Paul Robinson, up from the intramural league, shoots a basket against the Wesleyan five as George Haun watches from back court. Cagers Continue Winning Ways Against Wesleyan, Doane, Wayne Christmas layoff did not hurt the Kearney basketball squad as much as some had feared as the team began where they left off as they dumped a Nebraska Wesleyan outfit 70 to 67 in a home game played in Minden. Gary Smidt scored 36 points in the upset to set a single game college record. He was assisted by Coliison who hit 12. The game was a nip and tuck battle all the way as one team and then the other would gain a lead only to see the opponents battle back, For the first time all season, Coach Les Livingston could breathe easily as the Antelopes easily dumped the Doane Tigers 78 to 60 to gain revenge for the NAIA defeat. Sixteen NSC'ers saw action as the home towners raced to a 41 to 33 half time lead and won going away. Again, it was Smidt who was high point man, this time getting 27 points. George Haun hit 11 and played a fine defensive game. Traveling from Holdrege to Axtell, the NSC'ers had a hard time defeat- ing the Wayne Wildcats, but finally pulled the game out of the fire 73 to 64 as Smidt again hit for 27 points. The Wayne five gave the Antelopes a hard battle the first half and kept the Kearney crew from getting any lead at all Defensively, George Haun, Nelson Hinkle and Gary Welton looked the best of the season. The game was watched by a sparse crowd as the student body decided that suitcases were more important than a basketball game. Is it a battle of arms, basketballs, or legs? Paul Coliison fights for the rebound as Gary Smidt and Gary Welton watch. Who did what? The second five sees action against the Doane outfit in the late stages of the game. Shooting is Hinkle (21).

Antelopes Upset Peru 85 to 82; Gain Revenge Over Midland In the top game of the season up to that point, the Nebraska State Col- lege Antelopes upset the high flying Peru Bobcats 85 to 82 in a home game played at AxtelL The Peru team averaged a little better than six feet four inches tall and had much height over every NSC player who played opposite them. How- ever, desire and drive overcame the handicap and the Antelopes fought to an 85 to 82 well-deserved win. A jammed pack gymnasium crowd cheered the team to victory as the pep and cheering generated topped all season's efforts also. The Antelopes won the game the difficult way, coming from 13 points behind midway in the second half. The Peru five led 61 to 48 before the Kearneyites made their big push. The Peruvians again met the challenge with the score 63 to 57 to pull away 68 to 61, before the hosts scored 14 straight points to ice the game. For Kearney Smidt again led scoters with 24 points. Others in. the double- column were Haun, 19; Hinkle, 10; and Collison, 10. Effects of the struggle against Peru could be seen the following evening as the Antelopes played the Midland Warriors at Minden. Held to a slim 34 to 30 lead at rest-time, the Antelopes burst out in the second half to smother the Fremont five 79 to 59- The game revenged the Kearney loss to the Midland five in December and allowed them to take over first place in the Nebraska College Confer- ence race. Thirteen players saw action in the fray as Smidt again led the scorers with 19 counters. He was aided by Collison with 15 and Haun with 10.

The inability of the Kearneyites to hit free throws contributed to the defeat as the Eagles put the pressure on Gary Smidt and held him to 16 points. Bill Peck was second high point man with 13 points as he played his best game of the season, For Chadron, Rod Borders led with 20 points. Kearney led through most of the first half and left the floor at half time leading 32 to 30. The second game of the two was held in Ainsworth. The 1,600 people who saw the game was the largest ever to view a NSC basket- ball tilt. Kearney squared the series with a 75 to 73 squeaker over the Eagles, Gary Smidt hit the winning basket with a jump shot taken with three seconds remaining in the game. The game was a crowd pleaser all the way as neither team could gain a commanding lead. The biggest lead came with 2 minutes re- maining when NSC went into a 66-60 lead. Smidt led all scorers with 34 points, while Mel Stuckey was high point man for the Chadron team with 20. George Haun pleased his home town fans as he collected 10 points for the Antelopes. A capacity crowd jammed the Minden High School gym to watch the Antelopes face their old rival, the Hastings College Broncos. Those in attendance saw a typical NSC-Hastings battle as each team led at times throughout the battle only to see the opposition sweep back into the top spot. Gary Smidt hit for 21 points, Paul Collison, 17; Bill Peck and George Haun kept the Hastings shooters at bay; and the entire team saw action as Coach Les Livingston gave all those suited up a chance to see action. Hastings' Tom Osborne was held to just four points by the fine defensive play of the Antelopes. High point men for the Broncos were Mort Fuller and Tom Pawloski with 16 points each. Kearney led 4l to 36 at half time and with 2 minutes remaining had a 74 to 64 margin to win 76 to 71. Breaking the Broncos was accomplished mainly on fast breaks and sweeping of both boards.

Again, it was the Antelopes’ inability to cash in on free throws that caused their defeat. Both teams hit the same number of baskets but Wayne's 17 of 20 chances at the free throw line in the second half gave them the victory. Paul Collison led Kearney scorers with 22 points. Gary Smidt had 18 and George Haun 16. Bob Moore led Wayne with 28. The second week end on the road found the NSC cagers splitting two contests as they easily dumped the Doane five 92 to 78 and lost to Peru.

Free throws aided the NSC cause as the members hit for 30 of a possible 40 points from the charity line. Leading scorers for the Antelopes were Gary Smidt with 26, Paul Collison with 13, and George Haun and Paul Robinson with 12 each. Jim Pruning was best scorer of the evening as he made 31. Fighting for a rebound in the NSC-Wayne contest are Nelson Hinkle (3 I) and Gary Wei ton (35) although Wayne's Raicbow seemed to have the ball in his grasp. Eke Past 75 Gaining revenge for a January defeat was quite easy for the Nebraska Wesleyan University Plainsmen as they swept past the Antelopes 73 to 55 in a game played in Lincoln. Definitely tired from playing five games in eight days, the Antelopes were no match for the Lincoln crew. The home towners were aided by questionable officiating, but the officiating did not defeat the NSC’ers, For Kearney, Gary Smidt hit 18 points. Paul Cotlison was second with 1 1. The Kearney defense held Rudy Stoehr, NWU ace, to just 17 points compared to his forty the night before. Wesleyan was led by Bob Ebcrspacher who hit from the corner for 23 markers.

Coach Les Livingston played 14 men in the fray as all but one man who suited up saw action. The game was strictly no contest from the start as the Antelopes raced to a 15 to 2 lead and won with the score as they pleased.

Smidt Leads Antelopes Past Vikings, 96 to 59 Gary Smidt hit for 33 points in 23 minutes of play as he led the Antelopes to an easy 96 to 59 trouncing of the Dana College Vikings.

Smidt was assisted by Paul Collison who hit 14 points and did a masterful job of sweeping both the offensive and defensive backboards. The Antelopes hit a 53 of their shots, while the Vikings could make but 26a o of theirs. What’s the ball doing up there? Bill Peck (22), Tom Williams (M) and Harry Boss see action against Concordia.

A turn away crowd of 1,500 saw the Antelopes win die spine- tingling contest and keep the school's victory skein over the Broncos intact. Gary Smidt tied the college scoring record of 465 points in one season as he hit for 21 points. Second in scoring was Paul Collison who hit for 17.

Antelopes Capture Fourth Place in NCC Even the most optimistic basketball tan of Nebraska State would not have foreseen a fourth place finish for the Antelopes when the season began in December. Missing from last year's squad were LeRoy Sprague, Gene Armstrong, Bill Beavers, Dick Wiegand, and Jim Hansen. With the loss of these five, the height of the team also dropped. The beginning lineup at the end of the season found just one player over six feet in the lineup. The team made up in scrap and floor work what they gave up In height. Never in one game all sea- son did the members give up and concede the game to opponents. NSC's Gary Smidt took the league scoring crown for the second consecutive year as he scored 413 points to outscore his much taller opponents. The team as a unit also led the league in total points scored. For all. 23 games during the season, they averaged 72.5 points per contest. Graduating will be Smidt, Paul Robinson, and Jerry Bydalek.

The Council was responsible for the excellent Homecoming, as well as innumerable other fine events for the year. Jerry Ingram, Dick Austin, Roger Farrar, Jean Nelson, Miss Roberts, and Dr. Hoffman go over some of the many business problems which the Student Council must make decisions on.

Student Union Activities Council The Student Union Activities Council is responsible for setting up union policies, and carrying out activities within the union. In 1958, the SUAC took under their wing, a new Me- morial Union, The new union, which cost some $300,000, has been carefully administrated by the SUAC. The dining hall in the New Memorial Union is the scene of the weekly dances sponsored by the SUAC. In addition to all their other tasks, the SUAC has made it a point to keep the Memorial Union spotless, and to keep all their new equipment in tip-top shape, The SUAC is made up of representatives from each of the social organizations, and of the dormitories on campus. Dr. Krubeck, Mr. Casey, Mr. Shada, Mrs. Webb, Mrs. Myers, Mrs. Webster, and Mrs. Sisler are the sponsors of the SUAC.

Journalism offerings increased at Nebraska State College this year as the Administrative and Policies Committee approved a plan whereby students coujd minor in journalism. Required courses in the minor are six hours of constructive English, beginning and advanced journal- ism, beginning and advanced printing, and journalism methods. Members of the journalism classes were required to be members of the staffs of cither the Antelope or Blue and Gold. Other students who were regular contributors to the Antelope who arc not pictured included Pat Moor, who wrote Pat's ‘Pinion, Larry Lechner, who startled students and faculty alike with his column “Intro- spection, Jim Waldmann, who expressed his ideas in a weekly column called “Listening In, and Jim Wittkop, who “introduced Introducing .... Gene Larsen (standing) and Scotty Clark (seated) are the co-editors for the 1959 Blue and Gold. The year was spent doing just such work as sorting pictures, writing copy, and doing layout work. The litter on the desk is typical of the condition of the desk during the 1958-59 school year. The Blue and Gold staff for 1959 had the honor of being the first to occupy the new offices in the Memorial Union. The addition of a telephone, un- limited working hours, and some new equipment made the deadlines a bit less tedious than in past years. The task of preparing a yearbook is long and tedious, but we of the staff feel that the end product is well worth it. The co-editors received the privilege of journey- . ing to Columbia, Missouri, to attend a short course in yearbook work at the University of Missouri. After learning of the minor mistakes made on last year's Blue and Gold, they have attempted to make their own. In September of 195b, Mr. Don Briggs, and Scotty Clark made a trip to Dallas, Texas, to tour the Tay- lor Publishing main plant, and to write up the spec- ifications for the yearbook. The 1959 Blue and Gold has increased the total page number above any of the previous yearbooks, and hope to have included a little more material from the school's history for 1959. Bob Porter (standing) and Gene Wolff (seated) are shown admiring some of their latest efforts, The pictures in the 1959 yearbook were taken by Bob and Gene. Blue and Gold Staff Jean Rasmussen was the typist who put in some lime with the Blue and Gold typewriters.

We hope that we have filled these preceding pages with the persons and events which you, the students of NSC, would have chosen as representative of the Friendly College. The staff and editors would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their excellent coopera- tion in the preparation of the pictures and copy. We would like to thank the faculty and students for their many constructive comments, since we would like to feel that this yearbook was conceived of many minds. The staff of the 1959 Blue and Gold is to be commended for their fine work. We thank them sincerely. We would also like to thank the least often thanked man on any publication; Mr. Don Briggs, the advisor. We would like to thank him for the understanding, helpful, and sincere attitude which was a great boon to the completion of this yearbook. In conclusion, our most sincere thanks to the Taylor Publishing Company, of Dallas, Texas, for their excellent cooperation in getting us over the rough spots.

Dining Hall Included as a part of the Memorial Union is a dining hall which will seat 600 people. The dining hall was opened in. August with the arrival of the pre-season football players. From then throughout the remainder of the year, all students living in the dorm facilities on campus joined faculty members and students living off-campus in eating balanced, well-prepared delicious meals. The area also served as dance floor space. The tables and chairs were cleared off and stored so that SUAC dances, Student Council dances, and special dances could be held. During some hours each day, the space is used as an overflow area of the snack bar, seating people who cannot find a seat in the snack bar. Manager of the dining hall is Mrs. Ralph Myers.
