As this is a last issue, I suppose a sort of farewell
column is in order. If so, this will have to serve.
Athletically, this year will have to go down as one
of frustration and near-misses. Football took a dive in
the standings, but in all except one game (the 'Bay of
Lawrence' fiasco) one piay would have put us in the
winning column instead of the losing.
Basketball, being a longer and more emotional sea
son, was even worse. We were in again, out again, out
again, and the game's only shot by an Iowa State re
serve kept us from being in the money at the end
probably the zaniest Big Eight championship race ever.
'Good-Bye Charlie"
The track team no longer has cocky Charlie,
consequently looks less invincible this year against
always-djsgustingly -great Kansans.
In minor sports we did as well as could be ex-
pected without money or fan interest. The fact that
nobody knows quite where our cross-country of gymnas
tics teams finished or who was jn them I guess makes
it sort of moot where they did finish, since they get the
same reaction whether they win them all or lose them all
nothing.
Lots Of Character
But if, as all coaches insist, their main interest in
collegiate coaching is not to win. but to build character
in their plavers, why Nebraska can boast of sending forth
from our halls of moss some of the most character-laden
athletes in the league.
Unfortunately, there is no Big Eight championship for
Building Character or. indeed, any way to measure
such a thing so we will never really know whether
or not we placed in the first division in that one. either.
While this is not meant to be the White Man's la
ment. I wiil simply throw in the remark that I see at
this time a dangerous trend in American collegiate ath
letics. On the one hand, athletics in college is becoming
more of a "professional sport each year, the athlete
accepting tne highest bid or bonus' ' for his talents,
on a four-year contract.
But on the other hand, the NCAA and leasue ad
ministrators are hypocritically keeping to the old stand
ards of a 'pure' collegiate amateur athlete, going on
periodic witch-hunts to try to assure the public that thinss
have not changed from the good old davs of scholar-athletes.

Fare Thee Well
But stiil one finds it hard not to applv the old rah
rah school pint to the imported hordes of athletes who
'represent' us against our gallant foes on the battlefield
of sports. So I guess the public will continue to accept
this sort of arrangment despite things lake the Illinois
'scandel", .-rucifying men like Pete Elliott for the con
tinuation of the illusion of amateur sports in our colleges.
At any rate, sports people, remember there's al
ways next vear, and it. comes aound once a vear nd

The time is here for
ARGUEments to say goodbye
to this sDace and move on-
vvard. I'm not much for tare
wells, but there's something
around here that I wish would
say farewell the Coliseum,
which I will refer to from
now on, more appropriately,
as The Pit.
Reems of copy have been
written about the need to re
place The Pit. Since it is so
utterly insufficient, I'm n o t
going to even bother to reel
off its many inadequacies. It
seems that everyone. exccDt
those who have to make the
decision, are full in auree.
ment that The Pit must go
and soon.
But, since it is unfortunate
ly obvious that Nebraska is
going to have to put ud with
The Pit for at least several
more v e a r s. DerhaDs it
wouldn't be too unreasonable I
10 get a tew slight improve
ments. The first one could be
roll-out grandstands.
I hate to think what ,'he cost
is if the men who asspmhio
and dis-assemble the present
stands before and after every
game are paid bv the hour.
It's a time consuming job to
begin with, but to watch the
workmen do it. vou'd think
that they take a minute of
break for each minute of work
they do. If thev are bein? nairi
by the hour, that money could
surely buy roll-out stands nr
even go a long way toward re
placing The Pit.
I don't think a system of in
dividual reserved seats for
basketball games would be
unfeasible. It works fine fur
football and I'm sure there's
more than enough interest in
basketball to make it w o r k 1
successfully.
As far as football tickets go,
the only complaint I have is
that it is very difficult for stu
dents to obtain tickets for
away games, except when
there is a once-yearly official
migration. I don't think t h e
ticket office should be selling
(tickets for away games dur
S ing the summer to the gener
I al public. Students should
have first crack at them in the I
tall and tnen after a certain
date, sales could be opened to
the public.
Everyone has been taking a
crack or two at the new press
box, but I don't see anything
wrong with it-it's a fine idea.
There's nothing wrong with
first rate facilities.
However, I think the new
structure coma stand one
slight and inexpensive im
provement. Driving south into
Lincoln on Interstate 180, one
sees the barren backside of
the press box. Instead of leav
ing it empty, why not put
s
s
,
something up there like UNI
VERSITY OF NEBRASKA
MEMORIAL STADIUM -HOME
OF THE BIG RED. A
secondary sign could also be
made that would be easily
erected and removed sayin'
BIG EIGHT CHAMPIONS.
This would be a good meth
od of promotion for the foot
ball team in particular and
the University in general. .
