What Makes a Collegiate Hero? November IMS LINCOXN SUNDAY JOUKNAL AND iTAK 1IC College athletes still head the Jist of college heroes for Lincoln high schoolers, according to a poll recently completed. A more than of questioned chose a college athlete, with Pat Fisher, NU football player, in the lead, and Jan Wall, NU basketball player, ranking second. The college intellectual is second as hero to high school- ers, with a little more than of the teen-agers choosing a student as their hero. All-round college student took 3rd place as about of the high schoolers voted in that manner. Social leaders and campus leaders each had of the votes.

Typical of the reasons for voting for Pat Fisher is that of Steve Weigandt, senior at University High: "I like Pat Fisher because of his football ability and his scholastic achievement.

He out and goes on 'bevond the call of dutv He doesn't just specialize in one field Jane Adkisson, LSE, junior, also votes for the campus leader because "the cam- pus leader participates hi many activities, is more in the center of everything. The social leader, football player and the intellectual are heroes in their own areas, but not an over-all hero like the campus leader." Friis, a senior at University High, suggests Hersh Turner as the typical college hero: "I admire this man for his courage, physical, but moral courage. With all this controversy about Negroes a Pat Fisher whites going around, I lieve it takes great courage to go out for an athletic team where the rest of the men may be white--not to mention that some of them may be prejudiced.

In addition, he a tremendous jumping and hitting ability in basketball."
