Everybody 's going out and having fun.
I'm a poor boy staying home and having none.
The song lyrics may be the case this year, but if you are a
sport's enthusiast, the situation will be different next year.
The intramurals and recreation department now has some
$10,000 worth of sports equipment on bid which will be here
and available to University students next fall.
The equipment, which will be distributed on a check-out
basis should solve some of the major problems of the new
department, according to intramural director Ke"nit
McMurray. For most of the year, the department has had
nothing, excepting a few basketballs, that could be checked
out.
SOME OF THE NEW equipment -(toboggans) has arrived,
but it is too late in the season to use them. Some of the new
equipment will arive by April. But the full order is not
expected to arrive by April. But the full order is not expected
to arrive until this summer. Everything ordered will be
available next fall, however.
Ranging from archery to volleyball, there are few sports
that have been by-passed. And that leaves room for some
interesting provisions.
For wildlife lovers, 22 sleeping bags have been ordered..
IF STUDENTS do decide to camp, they'll also have tents
and stoves to go with the sleeping bags. Canoes, too, will be
available and handy for camping by a lake. And to get to the
campsite, five one-man and five two-passenger bicycles will be
ready.
For more conventional spirits, the department will have 18
sets of golf clubs, eight of them left-handed sets, and 10 sets of
women's clubs. Tennis buffs will have 20 rackets to choose
from. And there will be 12 footballs and 12 basketballs.
MOVING INDOORS, paddleball and handball equipment
will be available. If swimming is your thing, there will be water
basketballs and baskets, and polo goals. Badmitton and squash
supplies will be available also.
For the spring and fall, a complete assortment of softball
equipment including softballs, bats, catcher's masks pla es and
bases have been ordered. And for winter, the department will
haVAmobngTheS' miscellaneous equipment on order are tape
measures, stop watches, ball pumps, horse shoe sets, whistles
and I jerseys Finding a place to store all the equipment wil be
th! problem for the recreation staff, but that problem
should be solved over the summer.
NIT bid goes
to Oklahoma
Oklahoma, tied for second
in the Big Eight at 9-5,
Wednesday was extended a bid
to the NIT in New York. No
mention of Missouri or
Nebraska was heard from the
NIT committee.
Also added was Michigan
from the Big Ten. Four
openings are left to be filled
for thel6-team tournament.
The champion of the
Atlantic Coast Conference, to
be decided this weekend, will
receive one of the four
remaining tickets as will a
representative from the
Missouri Valley Conference.
It was speculated that teams
from the Big Ten, Big Eight or
an independent power would
receive the remaining
invitations.
Nebraskans
converge
for tourney
If you 're a resident of
Nebraska, this article is not for
you.
It's aimed to serve those
confused out-of-state students
who are suddenly being
confronted with names like
Papillion, Pawnee City,
Elkhorn, Friend, Broken Bow,
Wheatland and Loup City.
Those Nebraska cities,
possibly unfamilar to date, will
become common knowledge
this weekend even for the
out-of-stater. They're the
cream of the crop from the
Cornhusker state's high school
basketball teams.
And 32 of them,
representing four classes, begin
action today in the Nebraska
high school basketball
tournament on four fronts in
Lincoln.
Papillion joins Lincoln East
and Columbus in the favorite's
mle fnr the class A title. The
class B battle has four strong
contenders in Fairbury,
Aurora, Laurel and Cozad.
Class C will be a battle
between Norfolk Catholic,
Elkhorn and defending
champion Pawnee City. Mead
was top-seeded in the
unpredictible class D, but that
means little when the Class D
teams take the floor.
But stick in there,
out-of-staters. You'll probably
even find yourself taking an
interest in the tournament
before it's over. It kind of
grows on anyone in Lincoln at
the time.
THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
sports staff, an all out-of-state
staff incidentally is even going
to give all the out-of-staters a
little insight. Th Nebraskan is
picking its favorites:
Class A-Papillion
Class B-Laurel

Class D-Mead

Whst you should know about diamonds
when yoa know it's for keeps
You've dreamed about your
diamond engagement ring a thou
sand time. But now that you
know it's for keeps, it's time to
stop dreaming and start learning
about diamonds and their value.
Because no two diamonds
are exactly alike, jewelers have
adopted exacting standards to de
termine the Telative value of each
and every diamond in the world.
These standards include a dia
mond's size (carat weight), color,
cut and clarity.

Although it's important to
know the facts about diamonds.
you certainly dont have to be an
rvrt to choose a Keepsake Dia

COLOR: Fine white diamonds are
ouite rare and valued accordingly.
Other shades in relative order of
their worth are: blue, yellow,
brown and black.
CUT: The cut of a diamond the
facets placed on it by trained
cutter brings out the gem's fire
and brilliance. Anything less than
correct cut reduces beauty, bril
liance and value.
CLARITY: Determined by the ab
sence of small impurities. A per
fect diamond has no impurities
when examined under ten power
magnification by a trained eye.
CARAT: A diamond's size is
measured in carats. As a diamond
increases in size, its price will
increase even more if the quality
remains constant. But larger dia
monds of inferior ouality may ac
tually be worth less than smaller,
perfect diamonds.
