By the very fact that you have read this far I know that you are interested m sports. That is, unless it is just now dawning on you that you are reading the sports page. You are. No, this column is really intended for those people, especially freshmen, who are just moving into the big campus, and who aren't really interested in sports. Although this column isn't for you, the sports-minded person, you should read it anyway, then pass it on to that person who is unaware of the joys that sports can add to life. This doesn't mean to just jokingly toss it to that self-proclaimed stud in front of the mirror picking that one zit on an oth erwise unblemished face. r Bill Allen .-k l. B II I I II IIIHIIII W Seriously give it to someone who has no interest in sports, someone who would never read the sports page oth erwise. I'll start writing for that kind of person now, so please, for them, show them a copy. So, you're a freshman at Nebraska and you don't like football. You think working out is the 4 p.m. to 1 1 p.m. shift at McDonalds right? You thought shooting hoop was some kind of slang for taking drugs. And your mother always said she loved you even if you didn't play football, or volleyball, or wrestle, or even watch Monday night football with Dad. Well, you're not at home anymore, Buddy, or Buddess, as the case may be. You're at college, where sports are 'in.' It's time to increase your sports aware ness. Now, I'm not in any way, shape or n form saying that intellectual pursuits are not t he top priority of everyone on this campus. Mainly, I won't say that because I'm tired of having all the coaches and fraternities mad at me. This column is designed to help you, the person who thinks Joe Namath got famous selling panty hose and guest starring on the Love Boat. The person who thinks Billy Martin is a designer jean. The one that thinks scoring means . . . never mind. OK, first of all, you have to look like you're interested in sports. Now don't be scared off right away because you think I'm going to try to convince you to exercise every day, eat right and get plenty of sleep. That would be like Orson Welles telling the world to go on a diet. My chief source of exercise is making my bed once a month, or playing Nerf basketball. I won't eat anything unless it's saturated in animal fat, and I think a mug of beer should be added to the great seal of the United States. But it would be easy to tell I'm interested in sports, even if I didn't write this column every week. You should at least own a pair of sneakers and a Nebraska shirt. Don't be afraid to walk across campus wear ing both of these items and a pair of gym shorts or some sweats. Intramurals are a great way to get to know the guys or girls on your resi dence hall floor or in your fraternity or sorority. There are also some intangi bles. For instance, if you're talking to some of the guys, casually mention that you should drag out the old gold clubs from the closet at home and give them a workout. This works even if you've never even played golf before. If you're a woman, just sort of drop into the conversation that you could always throw a softball better than your brother.
