Volleyball and basketball helped break international
communication barriers Sunday niszht.
Through a common interest in agriculture, about 40
visiting Japanese students studying animal science and 25
UNL Block and Bridle Club members turned a pair of
usually common games into a learning experience.
Theresa Konecky.a Block and Bridle member who
had been acquainted with several Japanese students last
year, said she recognized the need to eliminate some of
the tension between Americans and Japanese. When she
suggested volleyball as an ice-breaker, both groups were
enthusiastic.
The Japanese students will be at UNL for three months
as part of a two-year program that enables them to attend
classes in different schools around the United States. Be
cause they are only at the university for three months,

they attend separate classes and their association with
UNL students is usually limited to meals in the Hast
Union .
Some students believe there arc hard feelings between
Japanese and American students, she said. Scott Lange
meier, president of Block and Bridle, attributed this to
"the difference between the way Americans treat for
eigners and how other countries treat foreigners."
As the players warmed up, Langemeier said he was a
bit pessimistic.
But after teams were set up, with both Japanese and
Americans on each team, the action picked up. If the
smiles, laughs and shouts from most players were any in
dication, the evening was a success.
Some Block and Bridle members, short of breath and
looking exhausted, said, "Let's do it again next week.'"
Their Japanese teammates were quick to grin and nod
their heads in agreement.

W H fWk P
for nuclear fo'eeze
By Christopher Burbach
Three leaders of the UNL Nuclear Weapons Freee
Campaign Croup Wednesday announced their organiza
tion's campaign to persuade the student body to say
"yes" to a nuclear freeze question on the March 9 stu
dent ballot.
That question is: "Should the VS. and U.S.S.R. pur
sue a complete halt to the nuclear arms race, and decide
when and how to achieve a mutual and verifiable freeze
on the amounts of their strategic nuclear arsenals?"
The speakers, all UNL students, were Ken Havlat,
Alan Henning and Dave Milo Mumgaard.
"This question is one of dire importance in the world
today," Henning read from a press release. Henning also
said the nuclear arms race demands citizen comment, and
the question gives students "an opportunity to make a
statement which will be heard by elected officials."
Havlat said several freeze resolutions already have
been passed. He said those supporting a freeze include 1 1
state legislatures, 276 city councils (including Lincoln's),
Nebraska Physicians for Social Responsibility, several
church groups and others.
Henning said his group will sponsor educational for
ums in both unions and other campus locations between
now and March 9.
"We also challenge any student group to public de
bates on whether the nuclear arms freeze is a viable arms
control option," he said. "There is no question in any
one's mind about the importance of this issue," Hen
ning said. He said UNL students need to inform Congress
and the president about their feelings on the nuclear
arms race.

In the Alumni Society story in the Feb. 15 issue of the
Daily Nebraskan, the last paragraph should have read that
graduates get both second and third years of alumni
association memberships for half price. It also should have
read that national dues are expected to increase to S20 by
1985.
