Omaha, Lincoln firms
win contracts
by Gary Seacrest
The NU Board of Regents in a special meeting Sunday
battled over the selection of architects to plan the UNL
f ieldhouse-a contract worth from $600,000 to $720,000and
finally selected one Lincoln and one Omaha firm to split the
job.
It took three separate votes before the regents awarded the
architectural contract for the controversial $12 million
field house to both Leo Daly of Omaha and Davis-Clark and
Associates of Lincoln. Davis-Clark did the preliminary plans
for the fieldhouse project for $10,000.
There was an identical split on the three votes with the new
members of the board voting against the more tenured regents.
Regent Kermit Wagner of Schuyler opened up the meeting
by proposing that three firms-Leo Daly, Davis-Clark and
Kirk ham- Michael and Associates of Omaha-be awarded the
lucrative contract.
However, Wagner's resolution was defeated 4-3 with one
abstention.
Koefoot, a Grand Island physician, then introduced a
resolution proposing that just Leo Daly and Davis-Clark be
awarded the contract. Prokop objected to Koefoot's motion
by saying, "In a state-wide project of $12 million we should
try to split the architectural contract as widely as possible.''
Moylan, an Omaha attorney, then made a motion to amend
Koefoot's resolution to give the contract only to Leo Daly.
Schwartzkopf, the Lincoln regent, replied to Moylan's
amendment by saying, "If you want to spread the contract
out, it is inconsistent to just have one firm."
Moylan's amendment was defeated 4-3 with one abstention
as the regents duplicated their earlier vote on Wagner's motion.
The board then passed Koefoot's resolution to award the
contract to Leo Dafy and Davis-Clark on a 4-3 vote with one
abstention. Koefoot. Raun, Elliott and Schwartzkopf voted
for the resolution; Wagner. Prokop and Moyfan voted no; and
Hansen abstained again.
KC crushes gridders in basketball
It was billed as a basketball game but sometimes the action
resembled a football game. That's not surprising since the two
teams playing at Pershing Auditorium Sunday night were the
Kansas City Chiefs and seniors from Nebraska's national
championship football team.
The Chiefs using superior rebounding and team-work defeated
the Huskers 90-73 in a benefit game for the March of Dimes that
drew a crowd of 1,300.
The Chiefs' Buck Buchanan led all scorers with 22 points.

"Women are just not women if they
participate in sports-they are female jocks!"
This was a reply from a male student when
asked what he thought of women
participating in sports at UNL.
Many people believe in the old idea that
men should be the players and the women
should be the cheerleaders. But this idea is
being replaced by a new idea. Women's
participation in sports on the UNL
campus-whether organized or not-is rapidly
growing.
Over 600 UNL women students have
participated in either women's extramurals,
intramurals or co-recreation activities this
year, according to Nancy Sooner, UNL
women's intramurals and co-recreation
coordinator.
The most competitive women's sports
program is women's extramurals. Any
undergraduate women student is eligible to
try-out for any one of the seven different
team sports: field hockey, volleyball,
basketball, swimming, gymnastics, tennis
and softball. Teams generally practice three
times a week and have games against other
college and university women's teams once
or twice a week. About 120 women will
participate in women's extramurals this year.
The two less competitive women's sports
programs include women's intramurals and
co-recreation activities. The women's
intramurals are increasing in numbers, but
women seem to enjoy participating in the
co-recreational sports more," Sooner said.
"Girls generally enjoy the intramurals and
co-recreation programs because they are less
competitive than extramurals.
"However, you must also remember there
are a lot of women who participate in sports
outside of the three programs we offer.
Many of the women participate in activities
on their own such as running, playing tennis
and golf or bicycling. But if women are jocks
if they like sports, then there sure are a lot
of female jocks attending this school.''
Fortunately the UNL women who do
participate in the variety of sports activities
have a different view of themselves too.
"I consider myself first as a woman,
second as an athlete," said Carol l&yerhoff,
a women's physical education major, "Just
because we enjoy competing and
participating in sports, most people,
especially the men, go around stereotyping
us as jocks. I'm sorry to disappoint aSI those
people, but we are women-not jocks. I'd go
crazy just going to classes ail day."
