They shoot card players,
. . . shouldn't they?
by MARSHA BANGERT
Nebraska StcH Writer
Neither food nor sleep nor
threat of class has halted 30
Cather-Pound residents from
playing out their hearts.
These students are at
tempting to establish a world
record of 144 consecutive hours
of card playing, according to
Bernard L. Birkel, one of the
organizers.
The game chosen? "Hearts,
because it's not boring," he
said.
WHILE THE three decks of
cards are becoming worn, the
four players and Birkel were
increasingly optimistic as the
game neared the 124th hour
"There have been many
doubters that we could
establish the record," Birkel
said. "Even the players had
doubts until the 72nd hour.
Since then it's been all
downhill."

The game started last Friday
noon and will conclude
Thursday noon, according to
Birkel. All players have come
from sixth floors of Pound and
Cather residence halls.
"The idea to set a world
record started out as a joke."
he commented. "Then
somebody said, why not?"
NO ONE has set a card
marathon record according to
Guiness Book of Records, a
player reported.
In the 123rd hour, a card had
been played every 7.41 seconds
according to Birkel's figures.
He noted that this is a

figured in the 108th round.
"We're not trying to set any
speed record," Birkel said.
"We just want to play con
sistantly." Individual records are held
by Bette Rubin who has played
the greatest total number of
hours 51. Julie Hrabak holds
the current record for the most
consecutive hours played,
slapping down cards for 16
hours.
"When we establish the
record," Birkel remarked, "We
will have shown what can be
done with organization, desire
and sacrifice."

THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
It's getting to be a habit
For the second time this semester the ASUN Senate
Wednesday could not conduct any business because of a
lack of a quorum.
Last Wednesday the student Senate did not have a
quorum for a special session scheduled to consider the
rules for the Aprill 22 ASUN elections.
The special session last week was postponed to Thursday.
However, the Thursday session did not have a quorum
and ASUN First Vice President Diane Theisen accepted
votes by proxy and by telephone to pass the election rules.
