Little Red
In past years recreation and intramural
sports have taken a back seat to Big Red
intercollegiate sports on campus. But the
crew-cut director of Little Red-the
Department of Recreation and Intramurals
(R & l)-now wants to emulate the success of
the UNL football team.
"We have one of the finest staffs at the
University and we are capable and will work
to provide one of the finest programs in
recreation and intramurals in the country,"
Dan Steller said in a recent report to Student
Affairs.
Since Steller arrived on campus last
summer from Doane College, where he was
dean of student affairs for five years, the
recreation and intramurals program has seen
a rapid expansion and improvement
During the first semester the department
which is financed by student fees, recorded
7,774 participants in its programs. This
figure is probably high, according to Steller,
since many students participated in more
than one program.
The trademark of Steller and his staff
is innovation, especially with recreation. "If
students are interested in some project, we
will try to help them out," the R & I
director remarked.
A UNL coed, who lives in a dormitory,
recently phoned Steller and asked him if the
department could teach her and some of her
friends how to play bridge. The department
has no organized bridge program so Steller
and one of his staff members, both of whom
play bridge, went to the dormitory to teach
the coeds how to play the card game.
The department this school year has
offered students such diverse programs as
canoe trips, a ski trip, glass blowing,
swimming, scuba diving and origami. In
addition, a deep sea fishing trip and figure
skating are now being planned.
The R & I department has set aside
$1,504) to subsidize recreation projects this
school year. For example, a Colorado ski
trip was offered to students last December
which cost the department approximately
$110 per student. However, students only
had to pay $80, which included lodging,
food, lift tickets, rental equipment and
insurance. The $30 loss per student was paid
by the subsidy fund, which Steller said will
"allow more students to participate in our
trips."
Besides expansion of the recreation
program, Steller's report to Student Affairs
noted considerable growth in the number of
men participating in intramurals this school
year over last year. This year in football
there were 35 more football teams consisting
of 525 more men. In basketball there are
2,100 students competing this season
compared to 1,580 last season. Water
basketball, tennis, golf and paddleball were
other men's intramural sports that showed a
gain in participants, according to the report.
- Steller's report noted that women's
intramural sports have also gained in
popularity. But Steller noted that men
outnumber women by two to one in
intramural programs. He said this is largely
due to the fact that men seem to be more
competitive than women in sports. But the
director added: "In recreational activities,
women have generally outnumbered men
two to one."
The R & I department, according to
Steller, also has a commitment to help
advise, organize and financially support any
student sports club at the University.
Steller's department inherited the sports
, clubs because the athletic department
wanted no part of them, he said. Currently
the R & I department supports the Ice
Hockey Club, Rowing Club, Soccer Club,
Table Tennis Club and the Outing Club.
The department also helps support
women's extramural programs, which
involve about 100 women competing in six
sports.
One of the department's biggest problems
is a tack of facilities, especially on East
Campus, to carry out its various programs.
To remedy this situation the department
is now planning a multi-purpose recreational
area on East Campus. Plans for the area
(which Steller estimated would cost
$500,000) call for playing fields, tennis and
hand ball courts, an ice-skating rink, a golf
range and archery facilities.
Construction is currently under way on
City Campus to build two new recreational
areas which will include playing fields, tennis
and handball courts and an artificial putting
green. Steller is hopeful that these new
facilities will meet student needs for
recreational facilties on the City Campus.
"I'm pleased with the way things went
first semester," Steller remarked. "We got a
lot of good feedback on the operation of the
program."
Go Little RecL.Recreation and
Intramurals Director Dan Steller
wants his programs to reach all UNL
students.
