Albert Hill, a black
University -student, gave the
longest and most irrate
testimony against the 1'lks
-saying that their "liquor
license. . .should be yanked out
from under them."
Most of the HRTL witnesses,
including Willcy, noted and
commended the -charitable
work -of the 'Elks Lodge but
deplored the race policy.

Nebraska's first year in
-organized soccer has been a
successful one. They've tied
Colorado, last year's Big-8 and
national socc-er champion.
They didn't lose to a Big-
team in the fall. Yet this
weekend when the Big- soccer
tournament gets under way in
Stillwater, Okla., Nebraska will
probably be the only Big-
-school not represented.
The reason is that the -soccer
team has no money.
The soccer team has been
incorporated into "the
recreation department of
student activities and receives
no financial support. And if
they do go to Oklahoma this
weekend, they will have to pay
out of their own pockets.

they -would pay tor :their -food
and the gas so that -we -could
go, but IVe made it a matter of
principle," said head soccer
coach -Franz Blaha. "A tot of
our foreign players, who live
on very little money, -couldn'i
have gone."
Blaha wrote two letters to
student activities requesting
money for the trip, but as of
last Sunday had not received a
response. The athletic
-department -cannot help
because the soccer team is not
on their budget and thus not in
their jurisdiction. Blaha was
still trying to -contact student
activities late Tuesday -evening.
"Part of the problem is that
we're not supposed to have any
money that does not go
through student activites'
accounting," explained Blaha.
""We sharped a 52.50 -club
fee at the beginning of the year
which would have paid for the
gas. but the money has to be
kept in u student activities
-voucher.
"Thus we have to ask them
for our money back," he
-continued. "We had expected

also sco
some money for -t his weekend,
out,.,
Another variation of this
problem came -up -earlier in the
year w'hen it he -club had to wait
a week before it -could .pay
Teferee.
But -despite the 'money
.problem this weekend, the
soccer team has had some help.
Cotn Cobs, Tne-ns spirit
organization, gave the team &
-donation.
""We greatly appreciate the
-cooperation of the athletic
-department and especially Him
RosC said Blaha. "'Wete
allowed to ;play and spractioe on
the Astro -Ttitf. Atid we
feceived iportahle nets and
goals from the -athletic
-depart ment last yeaT.""
Blaha first -came to the
JniveTsity from Austria in
1969, 'but it wasnt -until last
fall that he fealized there was a
soccer team. Since then, the
ilit-erature instru:tot has
organized them into a tinft that
went through nine fall games
with two victories, two defeats,
and nine ties. But then in their
first game this spring against
Kansas State, they lost badly.
""After that game, people
'were making fun of lis, saying
they'd do that to our football
team also. But then last
Sunday, they beat -us 2-1 on -a
stupid play in a game we
should have won. 3 thinlc our
improvement surprised them."
Blaha feels there will be
more improvement.
""This is not an NCAA sport,
so we are not bothered by
-eligability," he said. "We have
two faculty on the team, and
some of our other players will
-continue to pay while they go
to graduate school
An embarrassing moment
for the team occured last
Sunday, according to Blaha.
The Kansas State game started
late because of football
practice, and after the game,
the field house was -closed.
Blaha had to take them to a
dorm to shower.
"Its still hard to compete
with these teams because of
money," said Blaha. ""Teams
such as Kansas State, Colorado,
or Iowa State, who have
budgets of SI 800-2500. an
tome for a game a day early,
practice, and stay in a motel
that evening When we go to
Iowa State tor our game -we'll
leave, play the game, and some
back on the same day."
Blaha, who played 12 years
of semi-pro soccer in Turope,
looks toward a bright future
for his international team of
players from Mexico. South
America, Africa, I ngland, and
America.
"We could get to be a very
decent team." said Blaha. "We
were an -excellent team when
we lost unluckily to Kansas
State last week. And we could
do decently in the near future,
but not if I have to pay their
way."
