Continued from pip 2f' ; While moit of The Magatlneb love noems deal with the prospect or satisfact ion of love, Judith Rlddle'i "The Hope ment" attempts a far more difficult sub jcct: love's power to threaten. The poem depends too much on Its internal move ment td tolerate brief quotation. " It is spring, when our fancies are suppos ed to flock to cloudy emotions, but The Magazine won't let its readers off so easily. The airy wish-fulfillment of Tony Savich's "it Was a Dark and Stormy Night" (the narrator gets to play a prank oh a cop and still keep his skull intact) is followed by David Lanoue's timely "Free Translation of a Few Lines from NerUda." Stay out of Nicaragua. Sandino, to this day, sleeps in the forest where he fought, his rifle barrel filled with rain and sprouting lianas. His face wears no eyelids. Readers of The Magazine will also en counter work by Jan Bagley, John fcrehm, Mordecal Marcus, Tom Beal, Pierce Koslosky Jr., Nancy Peters, Shelley Spci dell, Thomas McNeil, Kindra Foster, Thomas McFadden, Kay Retzlaff, Barbara Allen, and Joan Janls. All of the work Is arranged and chosen well. Photos by Steve Wangel andBobbl Rahder complete arid di versify the issue. The first issue of The Magazine thus does three important things. It gives expos ure to the writers and photographers. It rives editorial experience to the put board. And perhaps most important, it proves that the job can be done and done well. It Is to be hoped that other issues will follow. Those who read this issue with pleasure will be gratified at once. Those who find it deficient in one way or another, will find reason to contribute more energetically to the next. That it exists at all is an accomp lishment. It surely deserves campus support. Body builder stoves for contest By Sara Martens Just as an artist works to attain an aesthetically -pleasing sculpture, Toby Anderson has been working for a year and a half. The finished product of Anderson's work will be judg ed for aesthetic qualities, just as a sculpture, but Ander son 't preparation has been physical and his medium, rather than stone or clay, has been his body. Anderson's sculpture will be judged Saturday along with 29 other contestants in the Mr. Nebraska contest. "The contest Is looked upon by some as a male beauty pageant, but the purpose is to judge the symmetry of the body, the balance of the physique,' said contest director Roger Benjamin. , Anderson, the only UNL student in the contest, said he does not consider it a beauty pageant. Sufficient training "In my mind it is simply a presentation of a piece of sculpture. like a track star running a race, the body build er hopes that his training will be sufficient to win. You might describe it as a cross between a meat show and an art show" Anderson said. Anderson doesn't expect to win this year's contest, but he does hope to place in the tor) fiVe and win at least One award given for specific body parts. His goal is' to some day win the Mr. Nebraska title and he will continue his extensive six -day -per Aveek, three-hour workouts Until he obtains the goal. Besides 'weigh! workouts, diet is an important part of Anderson's training for the event. He has been eating tuna fish, eggsv tea, fruits and vegetables for the past two months. J Itaiss, eggs and protein Beginning this week the fruit and vegetables have been cut from his diet as he consumes two to 2J4 pounds of tuna, one to 1H dozen eggs and three ounces of liquid protein daily. The day before the contest he will eat 100 grams of carbohydrates to give him energy for the two -and -half -hour prejudging Saturday morning and hour-long final contest Saturday nighU These judging times will consist of posing for the judges to display different muscle groups. "Posing fs one of the most important aspect. It requires extreme control.. It's taking ballet a step further because you're controlling individual muscles rather than muscle groups," he said. Anderson, who is five feet nine inches tall and weighs 160 pounds, said , size is no longer the most important quality for body builders. ..... -ate.

"You don't have to be the incredible hulk to present yourself," Anderson said . He said his major advantage in the competition will be the definition of his muscles, the ability to see the clear edge lines of each muscle. Anderson estimates that .05 percent of his 160 pounds is fat but he said that figure should be down to zero by Saturday. tie has also set priorities for after the contest which in clude one Baskin-Robbins banana split, a Valentino's extra large supreme pizza and a Bo's deli hot hoagie sand wich. "Ill probably go on a binge for a day or two and then return to workouts," he said. "I believe that mental health and body health are directly linked. Body building takes intense discipline and a bit of masochism. I suppose there's a hint of narcissism in it, but to me, sculpting the body is one of the purest forms of art."
