Monday, November 21, 1C33 Gili-stmigM Big ight bid e Thinks to the strong play of the middle blockers, the Nebraska women's volleyball team captured its eighth consecutive B!j Eight Tournament title in Ames, Iowa, Saturday. Nebraska defeated Iowa State 15-5, 15-3, 12-15, 1 5-6 in the semifinals, and beet Missouri 15-3, 15-10, 6-1 5, 1 5-6 to win the championship. v.- "" ' 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 1 1 ' v if 4 ; if- 4 "a U s -:. x "I. 1 I ,.- . 10 ' 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." . . . . : stc!f pfteto fcy Jcfcn Zot kers fallal the action at 11:2 NlMowa Etate game, ' ; 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: ca!r:;t cne.cf those inflatable dolls.

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 game.
