Get away.. . .
Continued from Page 17
O.K., sponge-brain, you say, you just
told me to reduce the stress in my
freshman year. One way to do that is to
get away from the causes of that stress.
I mean really away don't just go
home. Go rock climbing, or canoeing,
or bicycling, or backpacking, or skiing,
or skin diving. Learn a new recreational
skill. I will guarantee that the furthest
thing from your mind as you cling with
white-knuckled fingers to a rock wall
CO feet high, is how well you did on
your last PE 132 underwater basket
weaving test.
Actually, rock climbing with campus
recreation is safer than biking to class.
However, no one can deny that adrena
line rush that starts at the bottom of a
climb and peaks after you've solved the
problem the rock offers and pulled
yourself over the top. It beats the
wonderful world of calculus any day.
A sometimes more sedentary, but
no less stress-reducing activity is canoe
ing. Paddling quietly down the Dismal
or Niobrara where the only sound is
the soft slap of water against your
canoe and the burbling of your canoe
partner drip drying from the last
dump in the river.
Canoeing is one activity I've found
that really allows you to get to know
another person, your partner. It's an
ideal activity for new roommates or
friends to get to know one another and
relax and have fun at the same time.
And if you've become addicted to that
adrenaline fix from rock climbing, sign
up for a Whitewater canoening trip.
If you're really serious about getting
away, you can escape the entire country
by going on one of the Mexico or
Ecuador trips. Not only do you learn
new skills and meet new people, but;
you come to appreciate other cultures
and other perspectives in this world
where understanding one another may
be the only way to survive.
Why am I pushing the campus rec
reation outdoor trips like a door to
door appliance salesman? They don't
slice, dice, or cut julienne fries, but in
the live years I've worked at campus
recreation there's been more juniors
and seniors than I can count (more
than 10 anyway) that go on a trip and
exclaim afterwards, "I wish I'd known
about these earlier."
Far be it from me to suggest that you
let outdoor trips interfere with your
classwork or other obligations; but
when the pressures pile up till you're
about to explode, and going home just
isn't going to cut it get the heck out
of town, the state, or even the country.

Recreation awaits
just a walk away
By Loii Griffin
A physical fitness craze has swept the country
and UNL is no exception. Stan Campbell, director of
recreation, said UNL can help students get in shape.
There are a number of recreation buildings located
on both the City and East campuses.
The four City Campus recreation buildings in
clude Mabel Lee Hall, Schulte Fieldhouse, the Coli
seum, Cather-Pound-Heihardt halls and the Men's
Physical Education building, Campbell said.
Mabel Lee Hall offers two gyms. Gym 301 has
basketball priority and Gym 313 has volleyball
priority, Campbell said. The Men's P.E. Building
offers three basketball courts.
The Coliseum is equipped for many different
activities. There are wrestling mats, a swimming
pool, basketball courts and a weightroom, he said.
Schulte Fieldhouse, at the north end of Memorial
Stadium, has nine basketball courts, used by reserva
tion only. An indoor jogging track known as "Mush
room Gardens" is also housed in the basement of the
fieldhouse, Campbell said. It is open December
through April.
Residence halls also offer some recreational facilit
ies. Harper-Schramm-Smith halls offer 10 tennis
courts and three putting greens. Cather-Pound-Neihardt
offers eight tennis courts, three racquet
ball courts, horseshoe pits and volleyball and basket
ball courts. There are also intramural fields located
near Harper-Schramm-Smith, Cather-Pound-Nei-hardt
and Abel-Sandoz halls.
East Campus recreational facilities are located in
the East Campus Activities Building. The hours are
Monday through Friday, noon to 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. to
1 0 p.m. It is open from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends.
Included in the activity building are a weightroom,
tennis courts, racquetball courts and softball and
soccer fields. In the winter the basketball area
doubles as an ice skating rink if it can hold water,
Campbell said.
Nine percent of all student fees goes to the
recreational facilities. Last year that totaled $3.15
per student.
Another big part of the recreational facilities at
UNL is their intramural program, Campbell said.
"Many people join intramural teams because they
want to keep their activity level up," Campbell said.
There is a high awareness level to the benefits of
being physically, mentally and emotionally fit and
we feel this is why our facilities are in use a lot. We
feel that this is very positive."
