NU gals cool' for Bruins
By Lee Barfknecht
When Nebraska women's basketball
Coach Lorrie Gallagher steps into the
locker room before Saturday night's game
with UCLA, it's doubtful she'll have to
make a Knute Kockne-style pep talk.
"If anything, I'm going to have to try
and cool them off rather than pep them
up," Gallagher said, as her 1 8-8 team pre
pares to meet the defending AIAW nation
al champion Bruins, 11-5 on the year.
Technically, the game means nothing as
far as the Lady Huskers post-season play
off opportunities go.
But from a psychological standpoint,
Gallagher said, the matchup might mean
more than other regular season games.
"I have quite a few girls from California
and they'd like nothing better than to beat
a California team, especially UCLA,"
Gallagher said.
Nebraska may need all the psychology
it can get because the Huskers don't match
up physically with the 15th-ranked Bruins,
Gallagher said.
"They're very well-balanced with good
height and good speed." Gallagher said.
"Coach (Billic) Moore carries only 10 play
ers on her traveling squad and those 10
could play for most anyone in the
country."
Ail-American candidate
Perhaps the best of those 10 is sopho
more all-America candidate Denise Curry.
The 6-1 USA national women's team mem
ber is averaging 21 points and 11 rebounds
a game.
Curry might be better than Lynette
Woodard of Kansas, but in a different way,
Gallagher said.
"Curry is a fine player in an unspectac
ular way," Gallagher said. "While Lynette
will dribble behind her back around three
people for a lay up, Denise plays steady and
just does her job all the time."
Sophomore Husker center Carol Garey
played against Curry in high school, and
said the Bruin star was considered the top
prep girl player in California in 1977.
Alongside Curry is 5-8 playmaker Anita
Ortega, averaging 15 points a game and
leading her club in assists and steals.
Inside, where the Huskers' tallest is the
6-1 Garey, the Bruins plant 6-5 freshman
Melanie Horn and her 6-3 backup Cyd
Crampton.
Aggressive defense
To counter the Bruin's size-speed
combination, Gallagher said she plans to
play more zone defense, in an aggressive
style, and be a bit more deliberate on of
fense. Another key, according to Gallagher,
will be for the Huskers to stay out of foul
trouble.
"One game 1 had scouted, UCLA made
33 of 38 free throws," she said, "so we just
can't afford to foul them."
Leading the Huskers in scoring is 5-9
junior Diane DelVigna, averaging 19 points
a game. Garey, who's scoring at a 13.6 clip,
echoed Gallagher's thoughts about the
mental preparation for the game.
"We go into all games wanting to win,
but we're really psyched for" this one,"
Garey said.
Gallagher said she was very pleased with
the Lady Huskers' progress at this point of
the season.
Gallagher said the team has broken
more than 60 percent of the school records
for basketball and feels that a top 20 berth
may not be far away.
"When I came here, I wanted a winning
season and to build a good nucleus for next
year," Gallagher said. "We're much better
than I expected earlier in the year and with
a good recruiting year, we should make a
run at the top 20 next season."

History taught backward
By Alice Hrnicek
What is the relevance teaching about
Moslem sects of the ninth and tenth cen
turies if one doesn't realize their impor
tance in the troubled society of Iran
today?
This is one question which may come
up as an argument in favor of a revolu
tionary method of teaching history de
veloped by a Georgetown University pro
fessor three years ago.
One way to narrow the generation gap is
to teach history backward, according to
Lrnest W. Lefever. director of Georgetown
University's Ethics and Public Policy Cen
ter, as reported in the Omaha World
Herald.
Lefever believes that current events
should be related to similar events of the
past in order to develop a greater under
standing by young people of the influen
ces on the opinions of their elders.
Not full agreement
Not all officials in UNL's history depart
ment agree with this viewpoint.
Nels Forde, history professor, firmly
contends it is "valid to start backward and
go forward."
However, he said recent gojls ot the
Lincoln Public Schools were to require
students to demonstrate a certain level of
competence not only in past events but in
recent happenings.
"The competence they are working for
won't be achieved by studying events of
the last 20 years," he said. "What they will
discover are the factors that took place
that effect them. But to find out why thev
react to those factors the way they do, you
would have to study the human behavior
of earlier events."
He added that the reason people study
history is to "find out what makes human
beings tick."
They've tried
In the late 1960s, several instructors at
UNL tried to teach western civilization and
modern Europe courses using methods
similar to Lefever's suggestion, said Edward
Homze, chairman of the history department.
"I tried it once in Centennial College
and found it to be no more effective than
other ways," he said. "It's a way of making
things seem relevant, but one of the
problems is that textbooks aren't written
that way."
One of the advantages is that the im
portance of earlier times can be realized
right away, Homze said.
History professor John Yost said, "It
might cultivate a greater interest in one's
heritage and develop a perspective for past
and current events."
Exploration
Although Yost has not tried the ap
proach and acknowledges that the majority
of faculty members teach chronologically,
ho said, "we should always be exploring
new ways of pursuing historical
knowledge."
Parks Coble, instructor of modern China
courses, said he already places a large em
phasis on current events. But because
knowledge about the present happenings in
China and Japan is more prevalent among
his students, he said he prefers to give them
a background in past history.
