That means 'round-the-clock , Olympic coverage, Olympic commercialism and medals for the good ole U.SA Dut for the summer student who already has Olympic-sized homework assignments and mara thon study sessions, the Olympics can also be a major distraction in the study schedule. AliCs coverage of the games have changed the daily routine of UNL students. For student Doug Bruster, a 21 -year-old senior majoring in English, says he watches the game3 "a couple hours each night." "It's a Little nationalistic," Bruster said of ABC's coverage of the games. "We dont see any personal stories about any of the athletes from other countries." "I'm really happy to see all the coverage of the American athletes, but I'd like to see more on the other athletes too," Bruster said. Scott Lundgren, a 21-year-old civil engineering senior, has seen "a lot of the Olympics" so far, stating that he watches about three hours a day. Lungren said that he thought ABC was doing a good job of covering the games except for a few areas. "I dont like it when they do all that stuff on swim suits of the past. It's a sporting event, not a fashion show," Lundgren said. Bob Egr, a 21 -year-old senior majoring in Indus trial Engineering also watches two to three hours of Olympics a day. Egr said that basketball and track were the events that he enjoyed the most "I thought it was awesome," said Egr about the first week's coverage. "It's a lot of American coverage but since we're televising it, that's the way it should be," he said. Women's volleyball is the event to watch, Egr said. "Theyll win the gold." Personnel at KETV, ABCs Omaha affiliate, see the Olympics from a different perspective. Production manager John Adams said coverage has been run ning smoothly so far, considering all the changes. "People have called about the schedules or why a program wasn't on, but they seem to understand and accept the fact that the Olympics get priority," Adams said. Late night ratings for ABC have dramatically increased in most major markets, Adams said. In broadcasting the Olympics, Channel 7 sent sports caster John Knicely and a photograher to LA. r3C32E3C3 0BRING COUPON C Cl.

Mere than 40,000 people turned out for the customary ceremony at Peace Park, a memorial ground Idd out at the spot which bore the full impact of the bomb which killed an estimated 140,000 peopb. Hiroshima Mayor Takeshi Arald warned the gathering in a speech that the United Stat3 and the Soviet Union were pursuing "a reckless nuclear arms race toward oblivion." Meanwhile, the White House Monday reject ed a move by a group of congressmen to delay the shipment of weapons-grade plutonium from France to Japan. Five senators and 10 House members urged President Reagan in a weekend letter to postpone the shipment, say ing transfer arrangements were not secure and the plutonium could be seized by terror ists. The transfer of 417 pouncb of plutonium, enough for 30 nuclear bombs, is subject to U.S. approval because the plutonium reprocessed in France originally came from the United States. Democratic Sen. William Proxmire of Wisconsin, who circulated the letter in the Senate, said the freighter that would carry the radioactive cargo to Japan was unacceptably vulnerable to attack. However, U.S. officials said the freighter would be escorted by U.S. naval vessels. Banana battles continue PALMAR, Costa Rica Costa Rican police Monday clashed with striking banana workers trying to prevent urgent treatment of diseased plantations hit by a four-week strike, the security minister said. At least 1 0 strikers were hurt by tear-gas and one was arrested as civil guards escorted workers to fumigate planta tions hit by sigatoka fungus, Public Security Minister Angel Solano Calderon told reporters. Some 2,800 workers are striking for higher wages at the Compania Bananera de Costa Rica, The affected area accounts for about a fifth of the country's' second most important export after coffee, worth $229 million last year. A striker was shot dead July 24 during a brief and confused gunfight with police. Some 400 reinforcements moved to this town, ICO miles southeast of San Jose, Friday, two weeks after a court declared the strike illegal. Also Monday, U.S. Special Envoy to Central .America Harry Shlaudeman arrived in Costa Rica for talks with President Luis Alberto Monge, a U.S. embassy spokesman said. Shlaud eman had just ended a third round of talks with left-wing Nicaragua in Mexico last week. Diplomatic sources said his visit here was likely to be the start of a tour of friendly governments to report on the talks. KGB accused of forgery CHICAGO Attorney General William French Smith Monday said letters purportedly written by the Ku Klux Klan threatening Afri can arid Asian athletes in the Los Angeles Olympic games were forgeries isswea by the KGB, the Soviet secret police and intelligence agency. The letters, which Cirdth said were "openly racist End disgusting, did not cause ' any African or Asian Ethkica to sMp the gsmes, which yre beiitg boycotted by the Soviet Union. Smith said he would not reveal all the U.S. government knows about the letters "for fear of helping the authors refine their tech niques," But he ssid a thorough study by lan guage experts Yevesls thst they are classic examples of a Soviet forgery or disinformation operation." He said the letters feppsxentty were designed "p uieovis union justify its boycott oi the SUmmer Clvmnfes tn evln etmnnrt from Ron-CoraiRuiUsi countries for not attend ing uie games. hmSZh said previous investiga tions have revealed that for-sries such ss the Olympic tetters and other attempts &t ssbot-.
