brackets ( fraternity,

vie for the all-University
championship. The
championship playoff is

Chatfield.

winner of the dormitory

week's poll. The Juicers and
Kappa Alpha Psi both retained
their No. 1 rankings and both

Ah, and who cc uld forget
the 65-63 win at Boulder,
Colo., which snapped an
18-year losing streak for the
Huskers?
BUT THE 1 970-71
campaign will also be
remembered as the year the
NU Coliseum failed to produce
automatic Nebraska victories.
It was the the cozy
rematch with Kappa Alpha Psi. To
their advantage, they have been
playing a lot of basketball while
Kappa Alpha Psi has had a long
layoff.
No. 3 Theta Xi
They beat Phi Delta Theta 58-50
to earn their rematch with Delta
Upsilon, which they lost. Still, they
were one of the strongest teams In
the tournament.
No. 4 Beta Theta Pi
On paper, they looked like the
strongest team all year and, to
reiterate, their .only losses have
come from teams ranked above
them.
No. 5 Sigma Chi
Sigma Chi plays Delta Upsilon,
and the winner will play Kappa
Alpha Psi for the fraternity
championship. They were helped,
though, by the luck of the pairings
to advance as far as they have.
Dormitories
No. 1 Cather 'Kennedy'
With their 49-34' win over Abel
7, Kennedy has ' put together a
nine game winning streak, with
their only loss coming In their first
game of the year.
No. 2 Abel VII
After losing to Kennedy, they
now play Glen hoping for a
rematch. They have probably the
strongest over-all dorm floor as
their B-team won the winner's
bracket in the dormitory B division
of the tournament.
No. 3 Cather 'Glen'
New to the rankings, they beat
Carson 58-49 and then took Selleck

Oklahoma, who tied for second

And the Cornhuskers never

There was a second place tie

perhaps not. Coach Joe

No. 4 Selleck
Retaining their no. 4 ranking,
Selleck beat Gus 11 last week, but
they bow out of the tournament
with their loss yesterday.

with a 49-34 win over the Nads.
No. 2 Nads
They will play the winner of the

No. 3 Born Losers
Born Losers return to the

over last week's No. 3 team, Young
Lawyers.
No. 4 Wildcats
This is a story of coming back.
They lost their first game in the
tournament to the Nads, and since
have come back to win five straight
including a 37-31 win over the
Kerengers last week.
No. 5 Young Lawyers
Down two slots-from last week,
their loss to the Born Losers
knocked them out of the

student fees.
The Regents' directive
comes at a time when the Daily
Nebraskan has been
increasingly under fire because
of its use of mandatory student
fees.
The Legislature's
Appropriations Committee is
currently studying a bill which
would prohibit the use of
mandatory fees to support a
newspaper on the Lincoln
campus.
THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
"I CANT SAY that we
would have gone to the NIT if
we would have won Saturday,"
said Cip. But the Cornhusker
coach had indicated earlier that
the NIT committee had
expressed interest in Nebraska.
"I don't think we'll get a
bid now," continued Cipriano.
"I'm not going to say for sure
that we won't, but I seriously
doubt it now."
Saturday's loss to Kansas
ended a night of questionable
decisions for Nebraska. Marvin
Stewart and Chuck Jura were
each assessesd with technical
fouls late in the game for
failure to raise their hands.
Cipriano was charged with a
technical in the first half.
"I DONT REALLY know
why Marv and Chuck got
technical fouls," said Cip. "I
guess the official didn't think
they raised their hands high
enough after a foul or else they
threw down their ..arms in
disgust."
Cipriano, in a telephone
conversation Sunday, looked
back over the season with
mixed emotions.
"I can't recall any other
team in the Big Eight losing a
starter with a broken foot and
then still coming back for
second place contention,"
Cipriano said referring to the
six-week loss of forward Mike
Peterson.
"We came back strong,"
continued Cip. "This was the
best group of athletes I've ever
been associated with."
BUT CIPRIANO WAS quick
to point out the sour parts of
the season.
"That was a big loss at
home against Oklahoma," said
the Nebraska coach. "We've
gotten people so used to our
winning at home that they
don't think anybody can beat
us at the Coliseum.

Nebraska's best showing in
the NCAA track meet at
Detroit Saturday was also the
most exciting of the meet.
Nebraska's Larry Cimato
and Gary Ellison of Texas-El
Paso matched strides hi the
stretch of the two-mile relay
before the Texas team emerged
the winner with a 7:37.4

Cimato couldn't hold off a
desperate last-second lunge by
Ellison. The Huskers finished
with a 7:37.5 time.
Nebraska tied for 22nd with
just four points.
