Cadence Countesses
aid Vets hospital
The largest group ever to
volunteer its services to the
Veteran's Administration in
the United States will begin
work Nov. 23 at Lincoln's
Veteran's Hospital.
The Cadence Countesses,
numbering 100, will serve to
supplement the nursing staff
with 25 girls working each
Saturday and Sunday, Mrs.
Linda Butts, president of
Countesses, said Wednesday.
"We will be aiding patients,
feeding them, making beds,
and a multitude of other
duties," she added. "In addi
tion, we will take part in the
Thursday night entertainment
and recreation program."
ACCORDING TO Mrs.
Butts, the girls also hope to
form a daughter or sister
image with the patients.
Diabeies Detection
Week starts Sunday
November 17-23 has been
declared Diabetes Detection
Week at the University of
Nebraska, according to
Celeste Knipmeyer, Public
Health Nurse of the Student
Health Sendees.
Vbout 8500 diabetes tests
are being distributed, she
said. They are avilable in
houses and dormitories
1 -nuh Health Aids and will
r 'so be available at the main
desks of the city and east
campus Unions,
THE DIABETES test is a
simple one and is self ad-

Physics
course
open to
all
A pass-fail non-technical,
non-math course is being
started second semester by
the Physics department.
Phyics 61. tfie Changing
View, is a course in physics
ren to all students without
pie-requisites, according to
Dr Theodore Jorgensen,
professor of physics.
"Students in non-technical
fields should find such a
course of value in understan
ding the impact of physics on
their own disciplines and our
culture," Jorgensen said.
"I WANT to show the
students somettiing of how
today's ideas in physics have
developed from simple
ideas," he continued.
This is a new course at the
University, but similar
courses have been very suc
cessful at other schools, he
said.
In the course, Jorgensen
hopes to investigate various
subjects such as the ac
ceptance of Benjamin
Franklin's lightening rods and
astrophysics.
tlany registration
forms being held
The University registrar's
office reported Thursday that
inanv ceswnd ItlDtlttf
leeistration forms are being
Jield from complete process
ing because of unpaid polite
r library fines assessed to
s.Mdents. ..
Mrs. Irma Laase said
students who are registering

University police to make

She said students o may

returned to the Student
Health Center for processing.
If results are postitve, the
recipient is notified and furt
her tests are conducted to
determine if diabetes is the
cause of the trouble.
If the disease is discovered
early it can sometimes be
controlled with only diet and
exercise, she continued. Later
it may take insulin and other
types of medication.
IF DIABETES is not
caught early, it may lead to
partial loss of vision, heart
trouble, and other problems.
Therefore, early detection is
very important.
Since the incidence of
diabetes is higher in older
people, a number of tests are
also being sent to University
staff members.
The detection program has
been effective in the past, she
said. Of 1484 tests returned
last year, two cases of
diabetes were discovered.
Both were in stages early
enought to control easily.
SHE CONTINUED that
some symptoms of early
diabetes are excessive thirst,
constant hunger, weight loss,
changes in vision, and slow
healing of cuts' and scratches.
She said that the test is well
worth the time of takig. "It
is very easy to have diabetes
'We intend to continue the
service project through the
year and into the summer."
she added. "We have set no
specific time limitation on the
service."
Richard Reid. voluntary
service director at Veteran's
Hospital, thinks that the pro
gram will have two effects.
"First, the service will
allow the hospital to have
weekend coverage for
nurses." he said. "Second, the
work the Countesses do will
give them a meaningful ex
perience." AS THE program pro
gresses, he added, the
Countesses will be able to
help in the areas of
psychology, psychiatry, aa
missions, and recreation.
There are a vast number of
the girls with majors related
to these fields who will benefit
from this experience, Mrs.
Butts said.
She explained that she
needs practical experience for
a dietrician course at the
University.
"I MAY BE able to work in
meal planning,' she con
tinued. "We are helping them,
but in many ways they are
helping us too."
"People tend to think that
they are too busy for a pro
ject like this," Mrs. Butts
said, "but we are very ex
cited about it."

NU faces apathy in minor sports
by Mark Gordon
Sports Editor
Omaha World-Herald Sports
Editor Wally Provost com
pla'ned Thursday in his col
umn of the disruptive
elements at Boulder and at
Berkely and of two comments
made by college ad
ministrators critical of col
lege football.
While he complained of the
destruction and demonstra
tions at those two colleges, he
overlooked a situation which
may be just as critical here at
the University regarding
athletics.
APATHY ABOUNDS at NU
and nowhere is it more
prevalent than in student
views toward college
athletics. You might not know
it by the coverage other
papers give to so-called minor
sports, but Bob Devaney isn't
the only coach at Nebraska.
There is a cross country
coach and team, a soccer
team and coach, a sports car
rally club, womens and mens
intramural teams and others.
But are these as important as
the varsity football team?
They certainly don't attract
the crowds Nebraska football
draws, and they don't make
as much money. But we feel
they are as important to this
University as varsity football.
WE HAVE heard many
comments from students
critical of our paper giving
considerable space to so-called
minor sports. We seriously
wonder if we are hearing
Re Marks
sports fans talking or lust the
Nebraska student criticizing
everything, yet providing
nothing to improve the problem.
THE HYPOCRITES who
condemn this staff for
publicizing minor sports in
private cliques refuse to in
form us of their opinions. If
you are really disturbed
without our so-called slanted
coverage, write us and tell us.
There are several sports
this winter besides basketball
such as gymnastics, swim
ming, wrestling, bowling, in
door track and intramurals.
Take advantage of them
and you will discover other
sports as exciting and com
petitive as the big two in
Lincoln. Give them a chance
rather than sitting back
apathetically and condemning
them.
If you have never attended
a minor sport and criticize
our publicizing iivn, remove
yourself from the sports
world.
RED HATS? The Min
nesota Daily in its Nov, 8
paper asked five students if
Minnesota football was ex
citing. One freshman coed
replied, "I hate football, but I
go to the games.
' The sport doesn t excite
me, because I never know
what they are doing until they
have done it. Who was it that
came in the red hats? Min
nesota played well against
them."
COLORADO EVENT We
haven't changed our predic
tion from three weeks ago that
Nebraska would drop its final
two games to both Colorado
and Oklahoma, but we can
safely assume Nebraska will
perform better against both
the Buffaloes and Sooners
than against Kansas State in
a sluggish 12-0 loss at NU's
Homecoming.
But we hope the 10,000
Nebraskans attending
Boulder Saturday will support
the Huskers in an appropriate
and sensible manner, rather
than carrying on to the ex-
