Few' athletic directors have been faced with so many hectic problems as Orwig has met at Nebraska in the past 7 years It IS true that he did not soUe them all. It is also true that none of the teams under his administration reached the heights of success desired by either Orwig, his associates or the fans. F'inancially, the athletic department assets are much the same shape as when Orwig assumed command though costs have spiraled Following the 19.5.3-.5t season, the department reserves were $140,704.40. the conclusion of the 1959-60 year, reserves were High point of administration was 1957 when reserves hit a record $320,891. Since victories are still the gauge of success or failure in athletics, it cannot be said that administration was highly successful.

Yet it can be said that Bill Orwig made considerable Contributions to Nebraska. Under his guidance, such worthy programs as the Extra Point Touchdown Club, Husker Scholarships, and athletic achievement awards were inaugurated. It was in this area of public relations and fund-raising that Orwig was outstanding. No one could have devoted more time to promoting NU or put forth more personal effort on behalf of Nebraska athletics than Orwig did the past 7 years. tenure spanned the period in which Nebraska expanded from limited help for athletes to a full-fledged scholarship and recruiting iirogram.

Hence, they were ex- pim.sive years With such few wins registered, a credit to him that from the state was maintained, financially and attendance-wise. What About Future? It is only natural that about a successor has Ix'gun This corner believes the only logical step open to the Nl administration is to name an interim athletic director who will serve through the 1961 football season. J. Ivcwandowski business manager, has handled the reins before. Another possibility is L.

F'. (Pop) Klein, jiiescnt assistant athletic director who supervises the concessions and grants-in-aid programs. Klein has had a highly successful coaching-administration career and could skipper the department until the school settles on a permanent course. Bill Jennings has one more season of his head football roaehlng eontraet left. Following the campaign.

Bill may not wish to eontimie; the school, likewise, may not wish to renew his eontraet, if Jennings should depart or stay- there would be a nossibilily of combining the coach and director jobs. A permanent director might want to make other staff changes, too. No Hurry These are only points for consideration, but a hurry-up job to name a jiermanent successor to Orwig could leave the replacement with some of the same headaches Orwig had to endure which means no progress. With Orwig leaving and the football coaching situation still a matter of eonjeeture, pending the 1961 season, this would be a good time for Nebraska to sit back and take a long, studious look at the athletic situation. As for Bill Orwig, he has lieen very successful in some areas, he has been unsuccessful in others.

But he has untiring in his efforts on behalf of Nebraska. This corner is appreciative of what he has done and what he has tried to do, and wishei him tht very best at the University of Indiana.
