Students drop routine,
watch Olympic show
It's an Olympic year. 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.

Japan rememliQrs
atomic devastation
HIROSHIMA, Japan Wailing sirens, a tol
ling bell and impassioned speeches about the
threat of nuclear war marked the 3Sth anni
versary in Hiroshima Monday of the world's
first atomic bomb attack. 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-.
O through falsehood are approved by the
Soviet Politburo itself and ixsplsmentsdby the
Communist Psrty's central cocimitt? .
