Athletic role told
Big Red
by CAROL ANDERSON
Nabratkan Staff Writwr
Athletic Director Bob
Devaney says the department's
shutdown of a student operated
charity concession stand last
fall was "unfortunate."
The shutdown decision was
made by Bill Fisher, athletic
department business manager
because the stand was thought
to compete with athletic
department concession sales.
"Fisher acted in good faith,
but perhaps not in good judge
ment " Devaney told the
Council on Student Life Tues
day. He said Fisher had not
been told by the University

students had permission to
operate the stand.
The athletic department
doesn't want to make future
decisions on the selling of con
cessions, according to the
Husker coach. So CSL
designated ASUN to name stu
dent members to a faculty-student
committee which will
make recommendations to
campus President Joseph
Soshnik about concession
sales.
Most Council members felt
the concession stand issue had
been resolved, and they ex-
u
CSL
panded their questioning of
Devaney to the role of the
athletic department In the
University structure.
Devaney told the Council:
The department is controlled
by the administration and the
Regents. It is self-supporting
and contributes $10-12,000 a
year to the band and a small
amount to women's physical
education. Students have some
say in the department's
decisions because a student is
on the faculty committee that
advises the athletic depart
ment. But Devaney admitted that
the "committee doesn't meet
too often, and if we had to wait
too long (to get decisions
okayed) we wouldn't get much
done."
He said players always make
decisions about bowl games.
When asked about charges of
exploitation of athletes, the
coach replied, "We are more
concerned about athletes
graduating than being Ail
Americans." Concerning athletic depart
ment control of University
parking lots on game days,
Devaney said the lots were
opened to students with Satur
day morning classes after a
complaint was received. But he
said some contributors to
athletics would be lost if park
ing places were denied them.
Devaney was asked what the
athletic department charges
student groups for renting the
Coliseum for productions such
as this fall's "Hello Dolly." He
said he didn't have the figures
but that the charge was pro
bably "very little" and that all
the money goes to the
University.
"Any bad feeling that exists
between the students and the
athletic department Is due to
lack of communication,"
Devaney concluded. "I know
things aren't perfect, and I
wish things could be done dif
ferently. But we'll keep
trying."
Ribicoff gives address

He called for integration in
the entire country. "If
segregation is bad in Alabama,
It is bad in St. Louis," he said.
However, it isn't possible to
be uninterested in schools just
because they aren't integrated,
Riblcoff said. The objective
must be to provide the best
education possible under the
circumstances.
He added that education
must be changed to meet the
needs of the children rather
than forcing the children to
meet the needs of the system.
"School segregation exists
because there is segregation in
the society," Ribicoff said.
Black men must have an
avenue to the suburbs before
the problem can be solved, he
added. Those who have jobs
in the suburbs must be free
to live near their jobs.
The senator cited another
problem in the country as the
rivalry between blacks and
lower middle class whites.
"Whites feel that whatever

The senator added that it is
time for politicians to end this
bitterness and struggle. "It is
time we told the American
people that what they have in
common is stronger than what
they do not have in common."
"We still need what we have
always needed," Riblcoff said.
"We need a massive national
commitment to resolve the
problems of poverty,
discrimination and unlivable
cities that add up to the urban
crisis."

tacks on the media were not
called for, Riblcoff said. He
criticized the press for "caving
in" under the attacks.
In a rap session with
students Ribicoff said blacks
are on their way up.
"Blacks in the cities are
becoming the majority," he
said. "They can get what they
want at the ballot box if thev
are willing to organize and
work for jjt,"
"It Is easier to throw a bomb
than to get out and work in
politics," Ribicoff added. "But,
a lot more can be gained by
working through the system."
