t PAGE 4 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1969 "3 'J 2 International Cabaret to have friendship theme, spontaneity If your mommy and daddy told you never to speak to strangers, perhaps you had better not go to the Internationa Cabaret Sunday night. Charles (Charlie) Armstrong and the ASUN International Week Coordinating Committee are co sponsor jig another evening of cabaret-type entertainment. Armstrong has promised to attack the "never-speak-to-strangers" attitude. "That attitude has to go. It's the bijged obstacle to friendship,' 'said Armstrong as he began a Charlie type monologue on people-to-people re lations. What is friendship? CHARLIE ADMITS that he has no pat definition, but he does have definite ideas on what friendship is not "There are four characteristic ways in which people associate non association, competition, conflict and cooperation. "Non-association is what happens when persons pass each other on the sidewalk without speaking. "Competition is a win, lose or draw situation. There is yet to be a game invented in which there are no losers. In competition persons are pigeonholed as winners or losers. "In conflict, no one wins. Vietnam is the best example of conflict both sides are losing. It's stupid. "THEN THERE is cooperation. It isn't much better than the other three associations, because you cannot be an individual." So Charlie, who produced a cabaret earlier in February on a Hate Week theme, has switched to friendship. He said that this cabaret will be informal and an experiment with an open program. Charlie Armstrong, along Committee, will sponsor with the ASUN International Week the International Cabaret, Sunday, March 2. V niversity athletes serve as 'art-time Lincoln policemen by Bill Smitherman Nebraskan Staff Writer If you think the policeman who gave you a ticket in July looked familiar, you may have seen him on the University gridiron this fall. University athletes have been serv ing with the Lincoln police in the summer for over twenty years, ac cording to Lincoln Police Captain Dale Adams, officer in charge of personnel and training. The University athletic department recommends athletes to the Police Department for the summer program, Adams said. MOST MEMBERS of the regular force are married and like to take vacations in the summer, he con tinued. The student replacements allow the regular force to take their vacations without lowering force strength. The athlete-officers go through very little training because of the short time they spend with the force, Adams said. One day is spent in orientation. During this time the new policemen re told what is to be expected of them, he continued. Tbey are told how to behave in certain situations, when they can and cannot arrest, and how to behave in general. THEY ARE also taken to the firing range and shown how to use the guns that they will be carrying, he said. "We spend more time telling them when they can and can't use their guns than how to use them." Adams said. While they are with the Department, the student-officers perform the same duties as regular police. They are armed and have the same authority and responsibility, he said. THE SUMMER officers are never sent out on their own, however, Adams said. They are always ac companied by a senior officer. Most of the men involved in the prgram enjoy their work, he said. It is a different kind of job and they learn a lot, he continued. Several participants have become very in terested in law enforcement work, he added. Adams, himself, played football for the University in 1946 and 1947. He participated in the summer police work program while he was in school. It was during this time that he became interested in law enforce ment career, he said. JOE BUDA, varsity center last fall, worked for the force last summer. "It was interesting to see what goes on in Lincoln between 1 and 7 a.m.," he said. "This is when the majority of trouble occurs and you can see how things follow a pattern." Buda continued that his attitude about the police changed almost 100 per cent to a positive opinion while he worked the force. "YOU FIND out that police are taking a big chance to protect the people," he said. "They get little thanks for it." The police are just trying to enforce the laws, Buda said. People would dr well to be more cooperative with them, he continued. Adams said that participants usually finish the summer with a much better opinion of the police force than when they start. THEY GAIN a better understanding of what is involved with police work, he said. The student police find that about 90 per cent of police work is public service. They usually find it gratifying work, he said. The program helps the young men participating financially, he said. They do their police work at night and are able to go to summer school if they wish. 1 THE POLICE DEPARTMENT is helped through the replacement man power provided. More important though, the program increases com munication between University students and the Lincoln Police, he said. The attitude that the student policeman's gain is at least partly transmitted to the student body, Adams continued. He said that prob lems with the University have been minimal and that the police ap preciate the good conduct of students. Minors remain dry, not high The keg of 3.2 beer for 18-year-olds was drained Monday by 27 State Legislators. The 27 senators success fully fought off efforts to resurrect Sen. Terry Carpenter's proposal (LB 17) permitting the sale of 3.2 beer to 18-year-olds. The bill earlier had been killed by the Miscellaneous Subjects Commit tee. Carpenter moved for considera tion. He said that by having 3.2 beer establishments for teenagers, the problem of illegal beer drinking by teens might be erased. "If we can't trust kids at 18 or 19, we'd better give up," said Sen. Robert Clark of Sidney. Callaway Sen. J. James Waldron went on to suggest that the age of majority be lowered to 19 so that anyone of that age could drink anything they wanted. In opposition to the bill, Sen. Herb Nore of Genoa spoke of collapsing morality, recalling less permissive social attitudes of his youth. "We can end up with the world of Sodom and Gomorrah, where the swingers took over and everything fell apart," Nore said. i Sen. Harold Moylan of Omaha pre dicted that if 18-year-olds can drink 3.2 beer, 16-year-olds would be stimulated.

Instead of the usual halftime grade school basketball game, NU gym nastics coach Jake Geier's squad performed a mini-gymnastics meet for tire 7,000 spectators. This demonstration was excellent and with the comic routine that concluded the show, the intermission program was the best this season. We have only heard favorable com ments about the show a show we have recommended for two years rather than letting some youngsters mess around to kill 20 minutes because of thelack of ingenuity of NU's administration. After concluding our three-part series on the so-called minor win ter sports of wrestling, swimming and gymnastics, we feel programs such as Monday night's demonstration before the basketball crowd is the best way to promote the entire Nebraska athletic program. These sports need exposure and we feel once the spcrts fans see these sports they will appreciate the work of these dedicated athletes. NU's gymnastics team is far from perfect as anyone sitting in the last row of the Coliseum could easily deduce. But the show was excellent and we thank Coach Geier, his team and all those concerned for finally listening to our pleas for a good halftinv show. But next year is just around the corner and with ten games, the athletic department should take ad vantage of halftimes at basketball games with the following sugges tions Giving football awards and letters, letting the wrestling team perform exhibition matches, more gymnastics performances, letting the glee club sing. Also, permitting several combos composed of NU athletes perform an1 a ping pong game between Bob Devaney and Don Bryant. How about a speaker such as Bob Richads or Jesse Owens or a basketball game between the Husker footballers and NU press media. - BASKETBALL NOTES Marvin Stewart continues to lead NU in scoring with a 14.0 average, followed by Bob Gratopp with 12 and Jim Brooks with 11.9. Leroy Chalk leads in rebounds with 209, ahead of Brooks with 138 and Gratopp with 119 . . . Missouri won 10 of 11 home games this season . . . Kansas State guard Steve Honeycutt needs only 55 points in his remaining 4 games to become the Wildcat's fifth ail-time top scorer . . . Honeycutt and his mates invade the Coliseum to close Nebraska's home cage season at 7:35 p.m. Satur day. OUR THANKS to all coaches who helped us in our series on miner sports we hope our efforts have helped boost your sports. Next week, we'll start a six-section loik at some key persons in the NU att (etic depart ment with whom readers ai e probably unfamiliar.
