It seems no one is immune to the steely grip of the rhino boot. The car on the right is driven by assistant
basketball coach Jennings Austin, the other by assistant coach Moe Iba. Both cars are registered to the
Touchdown Gub.

rolls dwindling
The University Women's Action Group (UWAG) may
become inactive unless its membership increases, said
Chris Stout, UWAG president and a senior recreation
major from Lincoln.
UWAG was created in September 1970 to promote
awareness of specific problems of women, she said, and
membership has dwindled the last few years.
Many UWAG members are being graduated this year or
already have been graduated and few people are joining
each year, Stout said.
Since the nearly 20 members also work in the Womens
Resource Center, UWAG had to limit last year's activities.
Formerly, 40 to 50 potential members attended organ
izational meetings, Stout said. Although six prospective
members attended this fall, most of them did not join
UWAG, she added.
Although UWAG's activity recently has declined, Stout
said, the group has made contributions to UNL.
In October 1971 UWAG opened the Women's
Resource Center, currently sponsored by the Union Pro
gram Office.
UWAG started the Womens Pages, a feminist news
paper, in 1973 and have sponsored speakers and panel dis
cussions, Stout said.
UWAG is meeting Thursday at 4 pjn. in the Nebraska
Union to discuss membership problems and new projects.
Non-members and persons interested in joining are
invited, Stout said.

The Worm Kid is an oddity. He shuffles through halls
staring up at passers-by with enormous, pleading eyes.
One feels the urge to photograph him for a magazine ad
with the headline: "The Average American Dog Eats
Better than He Does."
The Worm Kid is so conscientiously surrealistic, it was
disturbing when he dubbed my circle of friends "The Cars
and Toughness Clique."
Who, us? This curious being, who spends his free time
writing songs about worms and sitting in a dark room
wringing tortuous melodies from a Fender Mustang, is
holding us up as strangel
I can't imagine what separates car people from non
car people.
True, car people sometimes talk together in a strange,
secret language: "Hey, man, hemidualquadfouronthefloor.

doubleoverheadcam, McLarenholleyheader. Craneiskend
arienunequallengthupperandbwercontrolarmskonibilstein, rackandpuiionpirellidunlop. Wanna run?"
True, car people have odd tastes. Some don't even
care if their next car rides quieter than a Rolls-Royce and
was chosen by 74 out of 100 suburbanites in a blindfold
test.
Car people defend honor: It's all clean fun

Yep, there are sickies in this land who will spend big
bucks on a car that won't carry Mom, Dad, Sis, Junior,
Fido and their luggage, that doesn't have AMFM, power
steering and brakes, automatic transmission and Deluxe
Custom Ghia Brougham trim.
Instead, car people want "performance" cars. The
1965 Pontiac GTO is one. In ten seconds it will go from
a standing start to fast enough to land you in court.
The Triumph TR6 is a performance car. It carries one
suitcase and two people, while walloping their behind s
with a suspension of the pillowy softness of a sack of
nickels and serenading them with an exhaust like a chain
saw's. The Porsche 91 1 is a performance car. Its prinicpal
charm is that it goes fast around curves-until suddenly
it decides to let go and slide backwards into a ditch.
And of course, some car people have slightly warped
ideas of fun. Many look forward to a relaxing weekend
standing in an inverted position, embracing an oily engine
block while red-hot exhaust tubing brands the words
"Hooker Headers" on parts of their bodies I dare net
mention.
Serious car nuts become racers, an activity that takes
longer and is more dangerous than stuffing hundred
dollar bills down the Dispose-all, but with much the same
result.
To the car people, it's all just good, clean fun. But it's
slightly depressing to watch some emaciated initiate
emerge from his trance, unwind from thelotus position,
pull the hatpins out of his cheeks, refresh himself with a
nibble on a raw fish head, then look up and say:
"Hey, you motorheads are really weird."
Bayh to meet public
at reception tonight
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Birch
Bayh of Indiana will be in Lincoln at 8:30 p.m.
today for a wine and cheese reception at the Knolls,
2201 Old Cheney Rd., according to Charles Pallesen,
state chairman for the Bayh committee.
The Lincoln visit will follow Bayh's visit to
Omaha earlier in the day.
Pallesen said the reception, which he said is not a
fund raiser, is open to the public. Tickets are $12.50
for general public and $4 for students and will be
available at the door, he said.
