more than others, depending on how much they are
used.
Jerry Howell, coordinator of club sports and leis
ure activity, said students use the weight room, for
example, more than they use the pool at Mable Lee

Hall. Pool hours will be affected to a greater degree
in this case, Howeil said.
Howell said that few people use the pool from 8
p.m. to 9 p.m. on weeknights, so the office cut one
hour from the original 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. schedule. The
pool will operate from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on
weekends instead of 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. as before.
The department cut hours to stay within its 1033
84 budget, Howell said. Higher utility costs helped
cause the office's tight money situation and the
resulting cutbacks, he said.
The budget includes wages for about 40 student
supervisors, Howell said. About 1 5 supervisors work
every day, distributing equipment and watching
over their areas.
. Howell said that other Big Eight schools have sim
ilar facilities. However, he said, most also have a
separate recreation building. If UNL had such a
building, Howell said, the consolidation would make
supervision easier and possibly less expensive.
Because of the altered hours at Mable Lee pool,
the office has received four phone calls.
Mark Brackenbury, a junior art major, said the
cuts are an inconvenience to him because of meal
hours at his residence hall and because of his sche
dule. Brackenbury said the cuts show "how much
the university cares" about non-varsity athletes.
Ellen Touchstone, a junior French-German-psychology-linguistics
major, said that if only four or five
people swim from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m., the cut makes
sense. However, she said, in the future changes
should be better publicized.

Underground nuclear blast
iiyurco nine teclmiciaiia
LAS VEGAS Nine government technicians
remained hospitalized Thursday after an under
ground nuclear test explosion caused the
desert floor to collapse beneath them, Energy
Department officials said.
In the first on-site casualties directly attrib
utable to a nuclear test at the government's
33-year-old Nevada site, 12 people were in
jured. Three were treated and released. Among
the nine more seriously hurt, one was reported
in critical condition and most of the others
were suffering from multiple injuries and
trauma, hospital officials said. No nuclear
radiation escaped when the blast, 1,163 feet
underground, caused an area of the desert
floor about 1 50 feet long and 60 feet wide to fall
about a dozen feet, Energy Department offi
cials said. The technicians withdrew to safety
before the explosion. The cave-in came after
they had re-entered the area two hours later to
begin checking recording instruments in sev
eral trailers.
"Some had the ground drop out from under
them, some were shaken off ladders leading to
the tops of trailers, and one man was appar
ently inside a trailer when it toppled over," an
Energy Department spokesman, James Boyer,
said.
Lebctnon-Icrael treaty abrogated
WASHINGTON Lebanese President Amin
Gemayel has signed a peace plan that would
annul his country's troop withdrawal accord
with Israel and install a United Nations force
in Beirut, Reagan administration officials said
Thursday. They said Gemayel had accepted
the plan, worked out by Saudi Arabia, Wed
nesday and it was now being presented for
mally in Damascus, where Syrian approval was
likely. The proposed U.N. contingent would
replace the multinational peacekeeping force
which includes some 1,500 Uf. Marines along
French, British and Italian troops. :
Washington played a key role in negotiating
the May 17, 1983, agreement between Lebanon
and Israel on withdrawal of Israeli forces.
Although the administration has continued to
call for implementation of the May 17 accord,
President Reagan suggested Wednesday that
he would not object strenuously to abrogation.
Marines leaving Beirut coon
WASHINGTON U.S. Marines in the peace
keeping force in Lebanon will begin leaving
Beirut airport in the next two or three days to
go aboard Navy ships offshore, a senior White
House official said Thursday. He added that up
to 500 U.S. military personnel would stay
ashore to guard the American Embassy and
train the Lebanese army. The official, who
briefed reporters on condition he not be
named, said the withdrawal should be com
pleted within 30 days.
10 liilled in El Salvador claslieo
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador At least 18
people were killed in fierce clashes between
government troops and left-wing guerrillas in
eastern Salvador Wednesday, sources from
both sides said Thursday. In one incident, four
soldiers and at least six guerrillas died after
troops ousted rebels from the guerrilla-held -town
of Dolores, a military spokesman said.
The guerrillas retreated under heavy fire from
an airborne battalion and strafing from air
force planes and helicopters, he said. In separ
ate fighting Wednesday, the insurgents' Radio
Venceremos said five soldiers were killed in a
clash with government forces in the southern
province of Usulutan. -
