Husker Coach Terry Pettit said a balanced attack
led Nebraska to the title.
"I thought we had a very good team effort" Pettit
said. "We were particularly strong in the middle. Our
middle attackers performed well" : '
After winning the first game easily, Nebraska had
to come from behind in the second. The Timers raced
to an early 8-3 lead before the Cornhuskers rallied.
Nebraska dropped the third game of the match In
the finals and in the semiSnab, but Pettit said he
wasnt concerned.
' "llbsauri and Iowa Litate are both good teams,
and they played with good intensity," Pettit said. "It
wouldn't have surprised me if those matches had
gone five games."..
Junior setter Cathy Noth paced the Huskers,
recording 10 kEla and three service aces. Noth was
unanimously named the tournament's Most Valu
able Player for the second-straight year. Teammates
who joined Noth on the All-Tournament team were
middle-blocker Karen Dahlgren and setter Mary
Buysss. '
Pettit said the BiJ Eight Tournament should help
Nebraska prepare for this week's Louisiana State
Invitational. That tournament will feature Ne
braska, Arizona State, Notre Dame, Houston, Texas
AM and host LSU. . . . '..."
"Ve expect to play well," Pettit said. "WeYe been
playing good volleyball, and weVe been sticking to
our game plan. "Most of the teams at l&U will be
nationally ranked, so it should, be a' good In
vitational. ' ' '. ' ' '
The Huskers' victory at the Big Eight Champion
ship guaranteed them a spot in the NCAA Tourna-.
mcr.t, which will begin the first week of December.
People behind the' cameras.
;ive a photographer's view
By Scctt Ahlstra&d '
They're the forgotten men along the
sidelines. Their names, for the most
part, are not familiar, but their work is.
Their pictures appear in newspapers
and press guides and their films are
shown at luncheons.
Richard Voges, supervisor for the
still photograph section of UNL's pho
tographic production department,
tried to sum up the photographer's
feelings.
"Photography is kind of an unsung,
silent job," he said. "We do the best we
can, but we don't get much recogni
tion. The final product is what really
counts."
Their work varies as much as their
respective employers. Randy Hampton
and Jim Burnett (of the Lincoln Jour
nalStar and The Omaha World
Herald) are phtotojoumalists. Voges
does everything from portraits to
game photos and Jim Dunlop, acting
manager of UNL's photographic pro
ductions department, films the games
for the coaches.
All four began In photography early
and chose it as a career for its variety.
The biggest appeal ... is that the job
is different every day," Hampton said.
"You never know what's going to hap
pen." Voges' work is paticularly varied.
"Up here (in the still photography
department) we hit about every phase
of photography imaginable," Voges
said. "That's rewarding because we get
a chance to try our hand at every
thing." Although their work varies, the four
experience the same problems.
Weather and deadlines head their list
of difficulties.
Dunlap said the weather can act like
an opponent.
"We have all our equipment set," he
said. "Our biggest problem is the
lighting."
Compared' to deadlines, weather
poses few problems for the photo
graphers. Dunlop and his crew film about
10,000 feet of film per football game. It
takes eight hours to process and cut
the film so the coaches can view it at 7
a.m. Sunday. ,
For Voges, deadline problems stem
from the quantity of his work.
"Just about everybody on campus
use3 this department sooner or later,"
Voges said. "This is the kind of job
where nobody really understands

what a tremendous work load there
is." -
All four agree that their biggest dead
line problems come with out-of-town
games.
"When you're out of town, it's really
difficult to get your job dona," Hamp
ton said. "It takes a lot of planning to
get enough good-quality, story-telling
pictures in time to make the next day's
paper." .

The quality of work is the four's
prime concern.
"I try not to prefer any sport over
another," Burnett said. "I want to give
my all, no matter what I'm taking pic
tures of." .
In the end, Voges said, a photo
grapher must rely on himself,
"I'm my own worst critic and if I
think IV done a nice job, then that's
good enough for me," he said.
Announcers kee
I sat around Sunday and made fun of professional
football announcers. Especially because my sports
editor called about 1 :30 Sunday and told me I had to
turn in 65 lines by 5:30 p.m. or he'd print those
pictures '-of ..me playing one-on-one basketball:

than I do, and besides, what I v.Tite wont makeny

' because they all say the same th.ir.3 trywry.
It's interesting to keep in mind that all these
comments were heard during a sir.e 1TL game.
You could hear the same comments in c:z'j UlL

Then, every case in a while, your favorite an

. the snap and they could all shut up.
: And -what's this "perhaps" business? The an

with him, and to really tick you off, he throws in this
