Card toss is total loss,
may signal section's end
thursday, november3f 1977
By Mary Jo Howe
When the Huskers pulled ahead of Colo
rado 26-15 at the Nebraska-CU football
game, the student card section lost their
coot their cards and $1,900.
For nearly 20 minutes, students in the
card section and surrounding seats hurled
the colored cards into the air, oblivious to
the continuing game on the field.
"It was the best the card section ever
looked," said one observer.
The jubilation was expensive. All 19
of the organizations in the card section will
be fined $100, according to Jack Snider,
adviser for Gamma Lambda, the band
honorary in charge of the card section.
The cards were completely destroyed,"
Snider said. We didn't even try to pick
them up."
Action stupid
Snider described the action at the Colo
rado game as "stupid. "It's a wonder some
one didn't get hurt by those, stiff cards,"
he said.
The cards will not be replaced by the
Kansas game and it is questionable whether
the card section will be reinstated next
year, said Gamma lambda member Bonnie
Steffans who designs the flashes.
Unfortunately, the students in the card
section do not seem to want one, Snider
said.
"They haven't done a good job at a
half-time all year." he said.
John Arterburn, Com Cobs president,
agreed that most of the organizations do
not really care about the card section and
that the section should be dropped.
Corn Cobs help
A committee from Corn Cobs helos
Gamma Lambda with the section by filling
out cue cards, putting the cards out before
thegame and picking them up after.
"It's a lot of work, too much work to
seego flying in the air," Arterburn said.
"If the students would cooperate, the
section could do some really neat things "
Arterburn said. "Some schools on the
west coast have real good sections."
For example, the card section at UCLA
does a flip that writes UCLA across the
section as if it were being written with a
big pencil, he said.
They also practice once a week.
The UNL card section would not need
practices if the students would just cooper
ate, he said. A big problem is that many of
the students sell their tickets to people
who do not know what to do, he said.
Goof off
They goof off, do not pay attention and
one organization continually flashes green
cards no matter what is called for, Arter
burn said.
If the section is reinstated, he added,
there should be stiffer fines and require
ments for getting into the section.
Currently, the section is coriiposed of
fraternities and sororities picked by lot
tery. They put up a $100 deposit from
' which fines are collected for damage to
the cards.
However, that means members only
have to pay about $2 a piece, Arterburn
said, and "they really could not care if
they lost that."
Perhaps if there were a steeper penalty
or the group couldn't get back in the card
section for several years, they would care,
he said.
Mat
motes boost meets
Big Red football has its flag girls. Big
Red basketball has its pep band. Now Big
Red wrestling has organized mat mates and
cheerleaders.
The Husker wrestlers had mat mates and
cheerleaders to support them during
matches last year, but the two booster
groups have been beefed-up this year,
thanks to the efforts of Jack Scammahorn,
UNL's assistant wrestling coach.
Sophomore mat mates Betsy Brown and
Patty Carbullido, said the wrestling
boosters group was not organized last year.
There were no tryouts and all support was
voluntary.
This year is different. The eight cheer
leaders and 12 mat mates this year were
chosen from 50 girls. Selections were based
on wrestling knowledge, interviews and
cheering ability.
Mat mates keep score, announce
matches, pass out programs and run time
clocks at meets.
, Although the Huskers first meet is the
Great Plains Tournament Nov. 11-12,
Brown and Carbullido have been working
to promote UNL wrestling.
An adult booster club and an alumni
club are being formed. Brown said she has
been going to Lincoln businesses with
Carbullido to gain support. The two girls
also are showing films to businesses and
UNL housing units.
"We show the films to help people un
derstand wrestling," Brown said, "When it
comes to wrestling, people are ignorant in
Nebraska. In Iowa, it's wrestling. In
Nebraska, it's football."
"I'm a wrestling freak," Brown added.
"I just love the one-on-one competition. I
know more people would be interested in
wrestling if they knew more about it.
"Once wrestling gets in your blood, it
stays.

year's national champion the University of
Southern California, San Jose State, Port
land State, Long Beach State and Arizona
State Universities.
USC is far and away the strongest team
there," Pettit said. "Tliey will be favored
to win the tournament. Last year's team is
ail back."
Pettit said the Huskers are capable of
winning some pool matches but added that
he has not seen the San Jose State,
Portland State or Arizona State teams.
