The training of UNL's top women's
tennis player was a neighborhood project.
Sue Sloboth, 20, a senior physical
education major from Omaha said that
thanks to a neighbor she's nabbed the No.
1 spot.
Sloboth said, Marcella Iwersen, a
former California champion, took charge
of teaching the neighborhood children
how to play tennis.
It was like a training camp, she
explained. In one court the children would
be practicing their backhands, in another
their serves, and still in another they
would play with IwersOn. Another UNL
tennis player, Judy Hufter also partici
pated hi these training sessions, she said.
This summer Sloboth is also teaching
other children land teenagers how to play
at The Tennis Club in Omaha.
Teaching, in turn, helps her game by
allowing her to see mistakes made by
others, she said.
Teaching Emphasis
"Lately I have been trying to get away
from my own game and center in on
teaching," she said. "I think that by
teaching I tend to evaluate my own game
better."
And, to keep in shape, she said, she
jogs three to five miles a day.
Sloboth said the tennis team should be
better this year because of increased
recruiting efforts.
Recruiting has not been pushed because
the coaching staff has changed every year
and at least one of the coaches "didn't
give a speck about recruiting,"1 she said.
The high coaching staff turnover is one
complaint Sloboth has about the tennis
team.
Unstable Staff
"This is the only thing I am disap
pointed in at UNL. There is no stability in
the coaching staf," she said.
Last year the new coach came in
January and the season started in Feb
ruary. ' 'It's hard to learn what a person thiniks
and how they play in such an individual
sport in a short period of time."
Since tennis is 80 individual, the coach
must know what is going on inside a
player's head, she said.
She said she is envious of other schools
where the coaching staff is more stable.
Other Advice
Last year at a Minnesota tournament,
the Iowa state coach gave some advice on
her game when her Own coach was
unavailable.
She plays tennis nOw just Out of habit
she said, and also because she meets a lot
of people.
' 'I think that's one of the reason's t like
to play," she said, "because of all the
people I meet."
The coming season will be Sloboth's
last. She said she hopes to become a high
school teacher Or possibly work for her
masters degree.
University Studies director named
Dr. Leslie D. Duly will be
director of the University
Studies program at the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln,
effective Aug. 1.
Duly, a UNL history
professor, has been a Uni
versity Studies fellow for
most of the program's life
time. He was elected to his
new position by the eight
other faculty fellows in the
program. The current direc
tor, Dr. Joan Wadlow, will
become Dean of Arts and
Sciences at the University of Joan has given us. '
Wyoming in Laramie.
Dr. Wadlow cited as rea
sons for Duly's selection his
"dedication to the philoso
phy of the program, his
demonstrated excellence in
developing individualized
programs for individual stu
dents, and his flexibility in
meeting needs while main
taming high standards."
Duly, praising Wadlow's
leadership, said he hopes to
"maintain the momentum
' . Ml. -
university studies was
founded in 1972 to provide,
according to Duly, "an ele
ment of flexibility within a
traditional arts and sciences
college" for "the highly
motivated undergraduate"
whose needs go beyond the
bounds of a single traditional
major. It allows a student to
develop, under faculty sup
ervision, his own program of
studies to fit these needs.
Outstanding members of the
Lincoln community also help
advise students as to cour
ses desirable for their areas
of study, and suggest car
eers to which these studies
can be applied. About 00
students usually are involv
ed in University Studies:
Duly and Wadlow said the
program is well regarded
nationally and prompts
many queries on its work
ings from other educators.
