UN-L track gets 2 Europeans
BY l AT IVIASTKHS
Several late ruyht and early morning
phone calls have helped the University of Nebraska-Lincoln
track team sign two "blue
chip alhletes'Trom Kurope.
Kim Taylor Hansen of Denmark and dor
rard O'Callaghan of Ireland could both place
high in the Big Kight and score points at the
NCAA meet. Assistant Track and Field Coach
Dick Railsback said.
"No high-schooler in the United States can
touch Hansen at 20.000 meters," Railsback
said. "He would have had the fifth fastest
time in the United States last year behind Bill
Hodgers, a four-time Boston Marathon win
ner." Railsback said Hansen would have won
the 10.000 meters in the Big Kight last year by
14 seconds and finished second in the 20,000
meters. And those limes are only from his
junior year.Railsback added. Both Hansen
and O'Callaghan still have their senior track
seasons to finish..
O'Callaghan will probably run the 8S0 and
mile for Nebraska, Railsback said. Last year
O'Callaghan ran the mile in 4:13, only three
seconds slower than the fastest high-schooler
ran. Railsback said he expects O'Callaghan to
be running about 4:06 before coming to Ne
braska. To verify the times of foreign athletes,
Railsback said he had to call the federation
offices in various countries. Because of the
seven hour time change, he often had to
phone at 1 a.m. just to talk with the federation
in the afternoon.
He said Nebraska tries to recruit athletes
in all the major Kuropean countries plus New
Zealand, South Africa and Australia.
But Nebraska doesn't just search for for
eign athletes. Four other track stars, includ
ing two from Nebraska, have also signed let
ters of intent to enroll here.
Ralph Preiman, the National Junior Col
lege record holder in the pole vault at 17 fecl.fi
inches, indicated he will transfer to Nebraska
next fall from Foothill Community College of
California, lie could be jumping with the best
in the world by the 1984 Olympics, according
to Railsback. a two time Pae-10 and National
AAU champion in the pole vault.
Nebraska has also signed Vernon Massey
of Aurora. Col., who has high jumped 7 feet-It
inches. Railsback said he expects Massey to
score points in at least two events in the Big
Kight next year. Massey also runs the high
hurdles and this year he triple jumped 40 feel
fi inches which would have placed him sixth in
the Big Kight. Railsback said.
Mike Schnebel of Fremont and Shawn Bo
vill have both signed with Nebraska. This
year Schnebel finished second in the shot put
and fifth in the discus at the Nebraska state
high school track and field meet. Bovill ran
the half-mile in 1:56.29, the second fastest of
any Nebraska high-schooler last year.
Railsback said the high jump champion of
South Dakota the last two years, Jeff Loesch
er. should sign with Nebraska anyday. lie has
high jumped 6 feet-10 inches.
Nebraska is allowed 14 scholarships each
year for track and field athletes and they are
renewable each year for four years. Rails
back said. He said Nebraska should have 14
letters of intent signed when the indoor sea
son begins next fall.
"Since we have only 14 scholarships to give
and about 70 athletes suit up then we can't af
ford to wait for walk-ons," Railsback said.
Walk-ons are encouraged, however, Railsback
said because some financial aid may be avail
able and the athlete could earn a scholarship
the next season.

4-H members wait patiently for their rabbits to be
judged Sunday at the largest small animal show in
Nebraska, held annually at the Nebraska State Fair
grounds. Garter snakes not harmful
Snakes like to live in places where they
have shelter and food.
Lincoln residents may find garter snakes
living around their homes or in their garden
or lawn during the summer, said Ron John
son, University of Nebraska extension wildlife
specialist,
People often do not like to see snakes near
their homes, but don't know what to do about
them, Johnson said. Garter snakes eat insects
and earthworms, Johnson said.
"To discourage snakes around homes, the
number one thing to do is remove hiding
places such as boards, tall weeds, trash or
rock piles," Johnson said.
Snakes also live in holes made bv other
More bicycle rip-offs expected on campus
animals, he said. A person can fill the holes to
prevent their use by snakes, because snakes
do not dig holes, Johnson said.
These snakes are generally harmless.
Johnson said. They usually run away when
people approach them.
A person could be bitten by a garter snake
if he were to pick the snake up, Johnson said.
The bite amounts to a scratch, though not
poisonous, that should be washed, because a
garter snake eats insects and worms, Johnson
said.
If the snake does not bother one, it may be
best to let it go and leave it alone, Johnson
said.
If one doesn't want snakes around his
home, he can kill them with a long-handled
hoe or club, Johnson said.
Some people like garter snakes in their
gardens because they eat insects, but snakes
can't eat all the insects, Johnson said.

In 1981, 103 bicycles were stolen from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln
campus at an estimated loss of $21,446. This
year bike-heisters have stolen 21 bikes with many more thefts
expected this fall. Bob Fey, UN-L police investigator, gave the
following tips for bike owners to help protect their bikes:
Write down the bikes's serial number and keep the num
ber in a safe place.
Spend the $1 for a Lincoln police registration sticker so
the number is on file.
Always lock your bike, no matter where you are or how
long you will be gone.
Use at least a 38 inch case-hardened chain and a good
sturdy padlock.
Lock both wheels and the frame to a permanent fixture
such as a bike rack (don't lock it to a tree or handrail: it may
be in the way of other people).
Refrain from using a p'.b coa'.ed u-el cable. the are

Fey recommended using a lock such as a "Kryptonite" or
"Citadel" brand. He said they are almost impossible to cut
without attracting attention.
Fey said that owners of expensive bikes should take a
photograph of their bike and make note of the make, model,
serial number, and other pertinent information on the back of
the photograph.
If your bike is stolen, Fey said, the first thing to do is call
the UN-L police at 472-3555. The sooner the better. The police
stand a better chance of recovering the bike if it is reported
immediately. The dispatcher would broadcast a description of
the bike to all the officers in the field, Fey said, and they would
be on the lookout for the bike.
After calling the police. Fey said, the owner should go to
the UN-L police station to complete a theft report. If the
owner knows the serial number, the number is entered on the
Nebraska Crime Information Service computer. If the bike is
found anywhere in the state, it can be identified and returned
to the owner.
The police occasionally find abandoned bikes Fey said.
These bikes are held for a couple of days at the police station
and then are turned over to AAA Lincoln Land Towing. Lin
coln Land holds the bikes for 60 days and then the city sells the
bikes at public auction. The money from the auction goes into
ine citvs general fund.
