Most facilities open
Rec office offers summer fun

Special to the Dftlly Nebraskan
Although campus recreation programs will be
cut during the summer months, UNL fitness fans
who plan to stay in Lincoln will have several ways
to keep in shape.
Paul Erickson, graduate assistant in charge of
recreation and special events for the Office of
Campus Recreation, said some recreation hours
will be cut because fewer students will be on
campus during the summer.
'The facilities are definitely not overcrowded
during the summer," Erickson said. In the
summer, more people participate in outdoor
recreational activities, he said.
Most recreation facilities on City and East
campuses will be open on weekdays at reduced
hours. However, the only facility that will be
open on weekends will be the East Campus
tennis courts near the College of Law building.
Even though most recreation facilities will be
closed on weekends, UNL students and staff can
go elsewhere for physical activities at low rates.
Janet Greenwald, a research technician at the
Veterinary Diagnostic Center on East Campus,
swims three times a week at UNL's Mabel Lee
Hall pool during the academic year. Eut during
the summer, she joins the YMCA.
"What's good about the T is you can get the
early hours and the weekends," Greenwald said.
Jolleen Klymer, the associate branch execu
tive of Lincoln's downtown YMCA, said UNL stu
dents will be able to get a special membership
price this summer for the first time.
If students join between May 10 and June 1,
the price will be $57 for three months, or $19 a
month. Usually, a three-month membership would
cost about $107, or about $35 a month.
The membership includes use of Nautilus
equipment, gyms, pools, tracks, free weights,
handball and racquetball courts and sundecks
at both YMCA branches, 1039 P St. and 2601 N
70th St.
The YMCA is open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mon
day through Friday. During June and July, even
ing hours will be extended to 10 p.m. on Monday,
Wednesday and Thursday. They are open from 7
a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekends.
On campus, Erickson said, the Coliseum gym
will be open weekdays from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. The
Coliseum weightroora will be open weekdays
from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and again from 3:30 to
7:30 p.m. The pool will be open from 1 1 :30 a.m. to
2 p.m. weekdays.
The Coliseum will close from J uly 1 to 1 9 for a
volleyball camp. However, the Men's Physical
Education Building will open from 4:30 to 7:30
p.m. during that time, Erickson said.
Schulte Field House racquetball courts will
be open from 5 to 8 p.m. on weekdays and players
can reserve the courts anytime by calling the
recreation office at 472-3467.
On East Campus, the tennis and outdoor rac
quetball courts will be open weekdays from 5:30
to 10:30 p.m. These courts also may be reserved
by calling the recreation office.
The East Campus Activities Building will be
open from noon to 1 p.m. and 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. on
weekdays. It has a gym and a fitness room for
stretching and weightlifting.
The recreation office also can provide stu
dents with options for wilderness activities.
Students can get fishing licenses, game and
parks permits, state park maps and equipment
ranging from Frisbees and bicycles to tents and
other camping gear, Erickson said.
The recreation office will be open May 13
through 17 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and from May 20
through Aug. 16 from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Foreign leaders visit Lincoln
Lincoln may be tucked away in the heartland
of the country, but it soon will be the crossroads
of visitors from Europe, Africa and Latin Amer
ica, said Sally Pegg of the Lincoln Mayor's Com
mittee for International Friendship.
Last year representatives from more than 50
countries visited Lincoln through the agency,
Pegg said.
International Friendship is an information
agency that provides money to foreign govern
ments so they can send their representatives to
the United States. Past participants in the
national program include Margret Thatcher,
prime minister of Great Britain; Anwar Sadat,
former Egyptian president; and Valery Giscard
d'Estaing, former French president.
Most of these international visitors usually go
to New York, San Francisco and Texas, Pegg
said. Some come to Lincoln.
"Lincoln gives international visitors more of a
cross section of American life," she said. While
in Lincoln, the mayor's committee arranges their
activities.
Sharon Meyer, committee chairwoman, said
the No. 1 attraction in Lincoln for foreign visitors
is the state Legislature which is the only one
house legislature in the United States.
Because many countries have a single-body
legislature, they are interested in how Nebras
ka's works, Meyer said.
Other Lincoln attractions include agriculture
and related research, Meyer said. And just seeing
a different section of U.S. life and culture than
they would see in New York or other big cities
interests foreign visitors, she said.
Anyone can be a part of the agency's Mayor's
Committee, Meyer said. People can do some
thing simple such as driving an international
visitor to a meeting or something more involved
such as arrange visitors' business and social
meetings in Lincoln. People interested in partic
ipating can call the Mayor's office at 471-751 1 for
more information.

Lincoln Right to Life's monthly meeting will
be Thursday at Christ Lutheran Church, 4325
Sumner St. at 7:30 p.m. Denny Hartford, director
of the Omaha Christian Action Council, will

ics in Omaha and on his trip to Washington, D.C.
for the annual Walk for Life. Babysitting is free.
Everyone is welcome.
Complete details on these scholarships may
be obtained from Arthur A. Daitch, U.S. Liaison
Officer for Warnborough, P. O. Box 3927, Amity
Station, New Haven, CT 0S525. Tel. (203) 387-4461.
A scholarship fund of $250,000 has been
established by Warnborough College of Oxford,
England, to make an "Oxford experience" avail
able to more American students. Under the new
Warnborough College program, scholarships for
up to $2,250 are being offered to qualified
undergraduate and graduate students of Ameri
can colleges and universities to study at Warn
borough. The scholarships will cover study at
Warnborough for a semester or a full academic
year, with the amount of the award scaled to the
period of study.
Warnborough College is a small, independent
international institution offering a wide selec
tion of courses in the humanities, social scien
ces, business, languages and communication. It
has strong links with many American colleges
and universities that send students on a regular
basis. Study at Warnborough combines the
American approach of lectures and workshops
with the traditional British university tutorial
system.
Harry G. Frankfurt, professor of philosophy at
Yale University, will give a Cedric A. Evans Mem
orial Lecture at UNL on Friday.
His lecture, titled "Rationalism is Descartes
and Spinoza," will be at 3 p.m. in the Regency
Suite of the Nebraska Union.
Frankfurt is the author of a well-known book
on the philosophy of Descartes titled "Demons,
Dreamers, and Madmen: The Defense of Reason
in Descartes' 'Meditations.' " He also has written
numerous articles for philosophical journals on
various topics, including the freedom of the will,
the philosophy of mind and the philosophy of
Descartes.
In addition, to his lecture, Frankfurt also will
discuss a paper dealing with consciousness on
Friday at 10:30 a.m. in Oldfather Hall 1007.
Cedric Evans, for whom the lecture series is
named, was for many years a faculty member in
the department of philosophy at UNL The fund
established in his memory enables the depart
ment to bring the best philosophical speakers
from throughout the United States and abroad to
the UNL campus.
