Intramural ball openings available The University of Nebraska Recreation Department has openings availible in the in tramural Outdoor Volleyball League until June 15. The entry fee is $15 per team and must be received at the Recreation Office, 1740 Vine St., by 4:30 p.m. on June 15, said Stan Camp bell, director of UN-L Intramurals. The league, in its second year, is open to all students, faculty, and staff. Last year the league had six teams, which made a five game schedule plus a round of playoffs, and Campbell hopes for as much interest this year. The games are scheduled at night and con flicts noted by the teams during registration should be accommodated in the schedule, Campbell said. Campbell said any person who would like to play but is unable to find a team is encour aged to post his name and information on the bulletin board at the Recreation Office. If enough people post their names a team will be organized or they will fill out the other teams that need members. A $10 forfeit fee is required from each team. If a team does not forfeit a game dur ing the season the money is returned. If they forfeit one game they lose $5 and if they for feit two or more they lose the enti' amount. Play in the league begins June 22. BY MARK KRIEGER University of Nebraska-1 Jncoln's Dave Rimington is just a regular, married, hard working student, who just happens to stand 6 feet 3 inches tall, weigh 275 pounds, and have an Outland Trophy, and a promising senior foolbal season ahead. Rimington, 21, will enter his senior cam paign with the Cornhuskers as one of the most highly regarded lineman in the nation. In addition to being one of only four juniors ever to win the coveted Outland Trophy, given annually to the nation's top interior line man, he was named Associated Press 1981 Big Kight Offensive Player of the Year, the only lineman ever chosen for that honor. With success such as this it would be easy to lose perspective of the game's meaning but Rimington is taking it all in stride. "I just want to make sure I go out there with a good attitude and play hard," he said. "I guess there are three other guys that won the Outland as a junior, but none of them re peated, so the odds are against me." Lifter of the year The talented center is also on the outlook for the letdown that has plagued past junior football stars in their senior year. "I think it is important when you have a pleasant surprise in your life that you guard against a letdown," he said. "The Outland doesn't play for you, you have to play for it." Rimington has been a promising football player since his youth in South Omaha. As a senior playing for Omaha South High School he was named All-State, which helped win him a scholarship with the Huskers. In attending Omaha South, Rimington had the fortune to go to a school with "one of the best weight programs in the state...," he said. Rimington has lifted weights regularly since junior high and has become one of the strong est players on the team. He can bench-press 420 pounds, and run a 40-yard dash in 5 seconds, quick for a man his size. As a result of his hard work he was voted the 1981 "Lifter of the Year" by his Nebraska teammates. Coming to a university as famous tor lis football as Nebraska has worried many re cruits about mistakes but Rimington was able to overcome that fear before arriving for his freshman season. "We have a complicated blocking system up here and it took a while to learn that and I realized this before I got here. I just try to do everything hard and not worry too much. If I messed up, I messed up," he said. "I wanted to play varsity football," said Rimington. "I wanted to start, not right away, but I wanted to one time because when I was recruited a lot of teams said 'there are a lot of players that were good in high school that never played at Nebraska.' I was kind of leary about that when I came here but I wanted to play for the Huskers. I'm glad everything worked out t he way it did." Wife is encouraging Rimington's wife Lisa has been a constant help to his football career. "Lisa is working and going to school both, so she takes a lot of the financial worries of the family. She has helped me quite a bit," Rimington said. "She gives me encourage ment and things like that, that you need some limes." "It is depressing, sometimes, playing foot ball because you don't do as well as you know you can and you have minor injuries, and major ones, that get in the way. If you don't have someone to help you out it's kind of tough," Rimington said. With an almost assured professional foot ball career down the road, an injury in his final season worries almost everyone except Rimington himself. "If you think you are going to get hurt, you probably will. You go out there with the best attitude you can and go 100 percent. I think that will guard a lot against injury," he said. "You take the right precautions, you try and get yourself in good shape. If it happens, it happens, it's not something you can defend yourself against, so I'm not going to worry about it too much," said Rimington. If he plays professionally, what position does he think he will play? "I don't think I . have the speed to play guard, though maybe I could develop it. In the pros you have to be a pretty good-sized guy to play tackle, so I feel I'd be best off at center, but I'd try whatever they wanted me to," said Rimington. Should other college-bound athletes make their goal the Outland Trophy? "I don't think you can really make a goal like that, it's just something that happens," he said. "I think if you enjoy the game and enjoy competition and you go out there and do the best you can I guess anything is possible." Prevention helps most in fighting insect pests BY JENNI BURROWS The rainy weather that has left Lincoln with soggy lawns and gardens will leave something else too an abundance of mos quitoes and other annoying insects. What can backyard barbecue buffs do to keep their picnics free of the pests? According to Dave Keith, extension ento mologist for the University of Nebraska Insti tute of Agriculture and Natural Resources, "No kind of insect trap is 100 percent effi cient" in ridding a yard of annoying insects. Keith said that there are some ways to help control insects, but no single device or method can stop all insects. Keith recommended keeping the area around houses free of standing water, where mosquitoes can lay eggs. He said it takes about two weeks for a mosquito to produce a new generation. Checking the gutters of houses for water collected in clogged drain spouts caused by leaves and debris, making sure that spare tires leaning against houses haven't gathered water inside them, and draining wading pools when not in use will help control mosquitoes, Keith said. "Inseci repellant worn on the skin is as ef fective as anything you can do" to keep in sects off of you, Keith said. He recommended spraying the foliage, trees and bushes near outdoor activity areas with commercial in secticides or outdoor fogging mists to kill the insects that rest in the plants. Chad Krause, assistant manager at Sutler place Hardware, 5221 S. 48th Stsaid Spray in secticides have been selling well lately. Tiki torches, which burn a fuel that contains an in sect repellant, have been a big seller, Krause said. Consumers seem to be overlooking the bright lights of the electronic bug killers. The device emits a light that attracts insects and then electrocutes them when they touch the bulb. The electronic bug sappers have not been moving off the shelves according to Krause. Krause said he prefers to use the elect ronic insect killer because it does not use insecticide and it will last for years. But be cause insects are attracted to light from other sources besides the electronic insect killer, insects may be diverted from flying into the insect killer by porch lights or other light sources. When placed properly, electronic insect killers can be very effective, Krause said. The best spot for the device depends on the layout of that particular yard, he said, but generally the best place for an electronic bug killer is in a spot between the source of the insects, like trees and bushes, and you. "That way, the bugs are killed before they can get to you," Krause said. Yellow bug lights are "somewhat effec tive," said Krause, but not totally effective in keeping bugs away. For those who prefer a more traditional, tried and true approach to insect control, fly swatters are in good supply in most of Lin coln's hardware and grocery stores. And for those who are on a tight budget, rolled up newspapers and magazines may be just the thing to keep them from going buggy. UN-L to test disaster system A test of the disaster alarm system, in stalled in University of Nebraska-Lincoln buildings, will be held Friday at 9:30 p.m. UN-L Maintenance Dept. Manager Jerry Delhay said the test is being held primarily to acquaint custodians, who generally work at night, with the alarm system and to make sure that night employees know the right thing to do in case of an emergency. When the alarm sounds, Delhay said night employees should go to the designated tor nado shelter areas in each building and re main there until until 9:40 p.m. -
