By BOB LEES
Michigan, believe it or not, has
its own version of Alabama's Bear
Bryant Dormitory. Well, almost.
There's this house on Packard,
see. It's kind of a big, old place
right nearby Friendly Ralph's,
and it's close enough to the Ath-
letic Campus that all a guy has
to do is get up, fall out of the
door and roll down State Street
to his practice session. .
For as far back as its present
denizens can remember, the es-
tablishment has been inhabited
by athletes. Two sets of room-
mates ago, a bunch of swimmers
had the lease. Last year, it was
wrestlers, with NCAA champ Jim
Kamman and Big Ten runnerup
Burt Merical among them.
This year, it's wrestlers again.
And the guy with the season's top
billing is Fred Stehman, who has
started off this, his senior year,
by pinning two of his first three
opponents at 152-pounds.
Med School Next
But when Stehman sits in the
living room, doing some steady
booking, he looks to all the world
like the. studious type who's al-
ready been accepted into Med
School and wants to make sure
he graduates. And that, too, is
Stehman.
"Last October I was admitted
to the University's M e d i c a l
School," he admits, a little em-
barrassed ."I guess I never out-

grew the kid's dream of wanting
to be a doctor."
His father was a doctor, too,
back home around Okemos, out-
side of Lansing, but of a differ-
ent sort. "Dad went into psychia-
try, and never actually practiced
medicine," he recalls. "Somehow
I never got inclined towards that
angle."
But he did get inclined towards
lots of other things, as his history
major and Russian ( - RUS-
SIAN?) cognate indicate. "Our
high school had all these kids
whose parents were faculty mem-
bers at State," he says, "so every-
thing was pretty academically or-
iented. I ended up in the same
clubs and all that I suppose ev-
eryone else here at the University
was in."
Three-Sport Man
Yet, unlike most of the others
here, he was also a three-sport
man in his highsschool days -
wrestling, of course, football, and
track.
"My brother was a big man at
the school in basketball," remem-
bers Stehman, "so I decided it
wasn't for me. I wasn't heavy
enough to excel in football, and
our school had no swimming or
gymnasitcs, so I sort of gravitat-
ed to wrestling."
Just because he wasn't heavy
enough for the gridiron, though,
doesn't mean he didn't go all out.

Columbia Gas
Energy Engineering
has opportunities for you in
* Research Studies
* Device Development
" Systems Optimization
Consulting on Industrial Processes,
Structures,'Materials, and
Heavy Equipment
+ Engineering Economic Analyses
There's excitement waiting for you in energy
engineering, on a range of projects which press
the limits of your chosen specialty. For ex-
ample, prototype development of thermal
systems and devices, fully automated com-
pressor stations, fuel cells, corrosion studies,
and analyses of community and regional energy
use patterns.
Columbia's engineering in breadth offers you
immediate challenge in improving radiation
characteristics of ceramics, miniaturized resi-
dential furnaces, massive ultra-high-tempera-
ture industrial units, welding processes, and
optimized total energy systems for large fa-
cilities ... and further challenge in consulting
to appliance manufacturers, high temperature
processing industries, and to 'the far-flung,
modern technical operations of the Columbia
System itself.
You get the idea. It's hard to put fences
around the engineering excitement waiting for
you at our Columbia laboratories. Natural gas
provides about one-fourth of the U.S. fuel
energy. It's one of the nation's fastest growing
industries and Columbia is a leader. For in-
formation on our growth opportunities for you:

FRED STEHMAN

"I really enjoyed it," Stehman
says.
"In my sophomore year I was
a guard and a linebacker, and as
a junior I was also on the suicide
squad. But our senior year only
about 20 guys were on the squad,
and I played linebacker regularly
as well as half the plays on of-j
fense.
"You see, I was one of the
guards who alternated, bringing
plays in from the bench, so I was
in exactly half the time.''
New Coach
Stehman's real interest in
wrestling came in his sophomore
year. "We got a new coach then,"
he . recalls, "and he was really
good. Unfortunately, we didn't do
too well at first, but by our senior
year we were third in the state.
"You know," he continues, "it's
really frustrating not to be on a
championship team. You hear a

An exception to this may be
Gary Kinkead in the 500 and 1000
yard freestyles, where his times
out him in good shape. "But Mike
O'Connor still isn't well, so we
don't have much chance to sweep
either race."
"Overall," said Stager, "every
race will be extremely close. This
won't be like those other meets
with State here in the past, when
they always fell apart at the end."
Lone Dual Meet
Saturday at 1:30, (also at home)
the Wolverine freshmen go up
against the Spartan cubs in their
only dual meet of the season in
preparation for' the February 24
Big Ten freshman contest at East
Lansing.
"We're going into this one blind"
)aid the Michigan mentor. "We've
got almost no idea who they have.
All we'll do is put our guys in their
best spots and pray."
Stager thinks highly of Mike Al-
len, the California state champion
last year in the 200 and 400 yard
freesetyle. Allen is from the Santa
Clara Swim Club. He is also a but-
terflyer.
The coach also rates breast-
stroker Bill Mahoney (fourth in
the Pan-American games) as one
of his top newcomers. If the Big
Ten decides to allow freshmen to
compete in varsity competition,
following the NCAA ruling, these
two have been rated as the best
bets to help the team, along with
Bob and Greg Zann, twin brothers
and sprinters.

That's the date when you can "brainstorm" with
our representative on your campus. Use this inter-
view to plumb the depths of our involvement with
the entire spectrum of graphic communications
and our major commitment to the creation of in-
expensive and more potent educational techniques.
At Xerox, this constant drive to overcome the in-
formation gap between peoples by use of com-
munications techniques has had the welcome
effect of making us a profitable company. From
1960 through 1966 total operating revenues in-
creased. from $40 million to $528 million. This

Our widely heralded employee programs such as
profit-sharing and incentive bonus arrangements
are but two examples.
We're looking forward to meeting you and answer-
