Those dormant student muscles that have t been
confined this winter can find new, life with a spring
barrage of sporting goods. But the consensus among some
Lincoln sport retailers indicates that getting those pounds
off the tummy will cost more.
Tom Gould, store and athletic manager at Lawlor's,
1 118 .0 St., said, "Prices generally are up, as with every
thing else."
Prices are fairly stable, but some items are up more
than six per cent," said Chuck Duchek, manager of Kep
Harding's, 1332 P St.
Mike Holthaus, Sports Corner manager at 1213 Q St.,
said prices always go up one or two per cent every year.
One new sport item is being offered at Lawlor's.
"We got a new game coming in that has a tennis ball
played like a tether ball," Gould said: "It's just like
tether ball, but instead of hitting a teather bail, two
players hit a tennis ball" The game will cost about $20,
he said.
Gould added although the new craze for skateboards is
popular among junior high and high school students,
quite a few college students have bought boards.
Gould said skateboards sport new designs this year
and are priced from $19.95 to more than $60 at Lawlor's.
Gerry Rosenberger, manager and owner of Gerry's Sport
and Ski Shop, 1324 P St., said his boards cost $13.95 to
$19.95 and are made of fiberglass.
"Frisbees are at a perennial high," Gould added. We
now carry the new world class Frisbees." ,
Lawlors carries four models with prices between $2.49
and $5.
"We don't carry the 89 cent, dimestore frisbees,"
Gould added.
H61thaus said frisbee prices at the Sports Corner, like
other stores, go up with the weight. Frisbees are weighed
in grams.
"Right now they're selling pretty good," he said. Prices
range from $1.99 to $.5, he said. Holthaus added that the
store has a new swimsuit that "you won't believe. You
can see right through it. They're going to sell like crazy."
Holthaus said prices on the "new" suit are $5 to $6
for men, and $12 to $15 for women.
Tennis rackets are already selling heavily, according
to the managers.
Wood rackets at Lawlors sell for $8.95 to $60, he
said. Aluminum rackets range from $26.95 and up, Gould
added. .
Holthaus said the. Sports Corner has a new tennis
racket that is graphite on the outside and foam on the
inside.
"It's a kind of a cross between aluminum and wood for
those persons who can't make their mind up," he said.
"It's a new fad and will be atoss up whether they sell."
The racket costs from $50 upward. .
Duchek said Harding's has skateboards on order, but
their biggest selling item is running shoes. Jogging shoes
run between $11,95 to $39.95, he said. Shoes at Gerry's
cost from $9.95 to $50, Rosenberger said.
Lawlor's sells shoes from $ 14.95 to $60.

Spring formals go country in7'
By Janet Fix

Spring brings thoughts of love and romantic looks for
those warm spring evenings. 4
The look for spring formal fashions is young, country
and romantic, according to three Lincoln fashion buyers.
Kim Meston, buyer for Hovland-Swanson's Unique
Dept., Doug Farrar, manager and buyer for the Wooden
Nickel, and Cathy Slocum, manager of Brandeis' Adam's
Rtb, said the major look for spring formal wear is eyelet
and ruffles.
Meston said the trend at Hovland's, 1230 O St., is
toward romantic eyelets, lace, ruffles and the peasant
look. Popular formal wear is in white, naturals and pastels,
she said. -
Even though the fuller, ruttled looks are in lor spring,
the nyestas and quianas knits in long classic looks are still
popular, Meston said.
Nyesta and quiana knits in halters and dresses can be
worn for year-round formal wear, she said. This lends a
versatility to formal fashions, Meston added.
The pajama look for a less formal appearance is perfect
for . easy and comfortable dancing, Meston said.
Meston said a new and popular look is the scarf dress
with the handkerchief sleeve. Formal wear has softened
the tailored, harsher look of past years, she, said?
Most of the formal dresses in the Unique Dept. range
from about $34 to $60, Meston said. ,
Doug Farrar of the Wooden Nickel, 144 N. 14 St.,
agrees that the look for spring formal wear is feminine.
But formal does not necessarily mean long anymore, he
" added. .
Much of the formal wear is in soft, below the knee
styles with a ruffle at the hem, he said. :
College girls are buying the Young Edwardian styles
in small prints with handkerchief lace in ice cream colors,
he said. - - - - ?.
Prices for formal attire at the Nickel range from $38
to $45 for long and $33. to $42 for short styles, Farrar
said.
The most popular formal fashion at Adam's Rib at
Brandeis is the "Gunny Sack", according to the Rib
manager, Cathy Slocum.
The Gunny Sack is high-waisted with a full skirt and
long flowing lacy sleeves trimmed in' lace, she said.
The most popular styles in the feminine formal
fashions are in the polyester cotton prints and pastels.
Prices for long formals range, from $40 to $60, Slocum
added. ,
