McMurray revamped R & I
program needs student input
by Kim Ball
'The success of our program depends on
students who will get involved and give us
ideas. We're just as good as our students will
let us be."
Using that philosophy, Kermit McMurray
heads into his second year as recreation
coordinator of the Department of
Recreation and Intramurals at UNL.
Last year the students did get involved
and the recreational program was successful,
he said, adding that this year also looks
good.
The recreation department oversees
checking out and rental of athletic
equipment. The revamped program also
includes responsibility for recreational
programs and some athletic clubs.
"If students or staff members have an
interest in a certain field or a particular
endeavor and are willing to share this with
their colleagues, then we will try and provide
them an opportunity to do so," McMurray
said.
Jaunts such as a canoe trip down the
Elkhorn River and a skiing excursion to
Hidden Valley, Colo., were included in last
year's program.
Everything from basketballs to squash
rackets may be checked out with a student
ID at the Recreation Office at 1740 Vine St.
The department also has opened two new
recreational areas. One is located south of
the Harper-Schramm-Smith complex and
includes 10 tennis courts, three artificial turf
putting greens and two playing fields. The
other is located east of Cather-Pound
residence halls, has eight tennis courts, five
handball courts and a large general activity
field.
Following is a list of six recreational
programs. Students interested in any of the
following or in starting their own programs
are urged to contact McMurray.

Offense's inexperience
doesn't worry Devaney
Nebraska coach Bob Devaney is confident the Cornhuskers'
offensive unit will gain confidence through experience.
"We're not as technically ready for this year's first game as
we were last year," allowed Devaney after his Huskers went
through Wednesday's drills, "but we can't expect to be with so
many people on offense starting their first game."
Devaney said the team has cut down on the number of
offensive plays with hopes of improving execution.
"It's important for our offense to gain confidence,"
explained Devaney. "We don't try to do as much with
inexperienced kids ... especially with an inexperienced
quarterback. Once they play well and get down the basic plays
we'll work on the rough edges."
There are still a few question marks in Nebraska's starting
offensive unit.
Right tackle Al Austin left Wednesday's drills early again
with an injured ankle. Backup Marvin Crenshaw is also slowed
with minor injuries.
David Humm and Steve Runty are still battling for the top
quarterback position. Sophomore Terry Luck will also make
the trip to Los Angeles for the opening game against UCLA
Saturday.
Devaney also said that Johnny Rodgers and sophomore
Ritch Bahe from Fremont will be the deep receivers for the
Nebraska kickoff receiving team. Fullbacks Bill Olds and
Maury Damkroger will also be in the receiving backfield.
The Cornhuskers will workout at Seacrest Field Thursday
night and go through a 45-minute practice in Lincoln Friday
before departing for Los Angeles. The squad will not work out
in Los Angeles.
