Oozebodl doesn't swell cleanliness

Cleanliness is not the main objective of this year's
Student Alumni Association oozeball tournament,
said a co-chairman for the event
Carol Gotch said 28 teams have entered this
year's tournament, the sixth annual for the associat
ion. Hardcourt volleyball playoffs were Tuesday and
Wednesday with eight teams advancing to the mud
on Saturday.
The deadline for applications was extended thi3
year, Gotch said, which gave teams time to collect
signatures and social security numbers from play
ers. Although the number of participating teams is
lower than last year, Gotch said the number varies
each year.
"It's not that much different from years past," she
said.
Along with the eight-team playoff in the mud, an
exhibition game between current and past mem
bers of ASUN is planned. A game between notable
student leaders and faculty is also in the works, but
hasn't been confirmed yet.
Gotch said KXSS radio station in Lincoln was
going to cover the event live, but a mix-up at the
station led to cancellation of the coverage.
"We are going to try to get a radio station there,"
Gotch said. KXSS still might be able to provide cov
erage, she said.
Along with the tournament, Gotch said, four $200
scholarships will be awarded on Saturday.
To be considered for the scholarships, Gotch said,
the student must be a sophomore and involved in
campus activities. Academic achievement also was
required.
"We wanted to nudge sophomores to keep up with
their campus activities," Gotch said.
SAA and 1 3 Lincoln businesses are sponsoring the
scholarships. About 75 students applied for this
year's scholarships, making for a "tough decision,"
Gotch said.
Fun in the mud begins at 1 1 a.m. Saturday at the
Cather-Pound-Neihardt residence hall fields. In case
of rain, the tournament will move to the Coliseum
for a volleyball tournament, Gotch said.

Good reputations are sometimes hard to earn.
Dr. Asquo Umoren, executive director of the
Malone Community Center, knows this. That's why
he, along with the center's board of directors, is
trying to tear down the walls that may keep people
away from the center.
"I don't know what kind of bad reputation it has,"
Umoren said. "It's not directly written on stone that
it has a bad reputation."
Part of the problem, Umoren said, may be that
non-minorities think the center is not for them.
In an attempt to draw Lincoln residents to the
Malone Center, "Music Festival '84" is scheduled for
Sunday. Starting at 3 p.m., seven groups, including
UNL's University Chorale, will entertain for more
than three hours, said Liz Millar, program coord
inator. The purpose of the program is to raise community
awareness, Millar said.
"We want people to see the facilities and enjoy
themselves," she said. "Everyone is guaranteed to
have a fun time."
Millar, a UNL business senior, said she recognizes
the problems facing a center in a predominantly
black neighborhood.
"Even thou gh Malone is a community center, most
people have the idea it's just for blacks and minori
ties," Miller said. "It's for everyone. We want people
to know it's for people of all races."
The primary goal of the center, which has served
Lincoln for 45 years, is to strengthen understanding
between races, Umoren said.
It was first known as "The Urban League," when it
was organized in 1932 at 1946 S St. The agency
changed locations in 1941 and changed its name in
1955 to the Malone Community Center, in honor of
its executive secretary, the late Clyde Malone.
The present building was dedicated in September
1982. Since then, people of all ages have become
involved in Malone's programs, Umoren said, but
adult participation could be better.
"We're trying to build it back to where it should
be," Umoren said. "We need to get more participa
tion from the mothers and daddies."
In the last 10 years since Umoren was appointed
executive director of the center, the community has
seen a lot of growth, he said.
Ten years ago, this community was something
else," Umoren said. "But through programs such as
ourjuvenile delinquency prevention program (phas
ed out three years ago), the alcohol and drug abuse
prevention program and others, the center has con
tributed a lot to the community."

Women's Week features
a variety of programs
By Mary C. Rcilly
The Women's Resource Center is sponsoring the
fifth annual Women's Week April 15 through 21.
Vicki Nogle, coordinator of the Women's Resource
Center, said the week has been a spring tradition.
The two purposes of Women's Week are to cele
brate women and to educate the campus and the
community on issues that affect women, Nogle said.
Nancy Bowen, a member of the Women's Resource
Center collective, said that traditionally March 8 is
set aside as a day to focus on the celebration of
women workers.
"Now, the Women's Resource Center has set aside
an organized time to do a lot of programming about
women," Bowen said. "It is a time to heighten
awareness on women's issues."
One goal of Women's Week is to see that a diversity
of issues are addressed, Nogle said.
Jan Deeds and Deb Cirksend are the coordinators
of Women's Week 1984. The topics and issues
addressed during the week are chosen from "brain
storming" sessions in the Women's Resource Center
collective, Nogle said.
In 1983, about 2,500 students and faculty attended
Women's Week programs.
People attending Women's Week events can expect
to be educated and entertained, Nogle said. "Women's
Week educates and celebrates at the same time," she
said.
A variety of programs and speakers will be pres
ented during the week. The schedule was organized
so workshops are during the day and programs are
in the evening so everyone can attend some of the
evenings, Nogle said.
Some of the highlights of the week include Women's
Resource Center open house Monday from 2 p.m. to
4 p.m. Along with the open house, a reception will be
held for the women's studies faculty.
Films about working women, "The Amazing Equal
Pay Show" and "We Dig Coal," will be shown Tuesday
night, from 8 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. in the Nebraska
Union Rostrum. Admission is free for students and
50 cents for the public.
Wednesday night Alix Dobkin, writer, performer
and producer, will present a program on "Women
hating, Racism and Violence in the Top 40" at 8 p.m.
in the Rostrum.
Friday night, a program called "Women Sharing: a
Benefit for the Women's Emergency Assistance
Fund" will include singing and poetry reading from 8
p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Unitarian Church, 6300 A St.
The benefit has a $2 suggested donation. The
Women's Emergency Assistance Fund offers sup
port to women in short-term financial crises.
Saturday night, a play called "Just Remember My
Name" about racism and feminism will be presented
by a group of women from Minneapolis, Minn., at 8
p.m. in the Nebraska Union Centennial Room. Ad
mission is $2 for students and $3 for the general
public.
The schedule for Women's Week 1984 includes:
Sunday, April 15 . v . V
Workshop: "A Community Approach to the Prob
lem of Pornography" by Jeanne Barkey and Theresa
Stanton from the Minneapolis Pornography Resource
Center in the Nebraska Union from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
