evaney says women receive equal treatment
By Jim Rasmussen
Suff Reporter
UNL's brand new, men only athletic
training table and study area has drawn
concern from women's groups who say
women athletes aren't getting the
opportunities their male counterparts
have.
But UNL Athletic Director Bob Dev
aney said he thinks women athletes do
receive equal opportunity,
"1 think this whole training table
thing has been overplayed," Devaney
said. 'The complaints have not been by
student athletes. There have been a
few outside people complaining, and
they've been very vocal."

Two women's groups have been in
vestigating the university's training
table policies. Susan Hale, president of
the Lincoln-Lancaster Commission on
the Status of Women, recently toured
both the men's and women's athletic
dining and study areas. Hale said she
thinks the new men's facility is
"wonderful."
"The new facilities are grand," she
said. "But the women's facilities don't
compare."
The men's dining and study area
opened March 1 1. Built under the west
side of Memorial Stadium, the Kewit
Center dining area features carpeting,
many individual tables arid soft padded
chairs. The adjacent Boekel study area
has seating for about 50 people, carpet
ing, five computer terminals, two prin
ters and a copy machine. Two academic
counselors are available from 8 am. to
9 p.m. The study center, bounded on
two sides by glass doors and walls, also
contains a small conference room.
Women athletes have two rooms to
study in, Devaney said. One of those
rooms, the South Stadium Lounge, fea
tures plush carpeting, padded chairs
and nine tables. The room easily seats
50 students.

The other room, an auditorium in the
same building, seats about 150. Women
athletes are free to use both rooms, but
sometimes have to clear out when
meetings are held in the rooms.
The women's athletic department
employs one full-time academic coun
selor and a part-time assistant.
Women athletes eat at the food ser
vice in the Harper-Schramm-Smith res
idence hall complex. The food service
stays open a half-hour later in the eve
ings so women athletes can get there
after practice. Unlike the men's pro
gram, the women's program offers no
special diets. Athletes eat what is on
the regular student menu.
Devaney said he would be willing to
set up special diets for women ath
letes, Lf the athletes requested them.
"We're not against trying to make
things good for the women," he said.
Devaney said most women athletes
don't need special diets. The women
"don't need 5,000 calaries a day" like
some of the football players do, he said.
Kelly Hill, women's basketball coach
at UNL, said she's satisfied with the
diet provided by the food service.
"1 don't think I'd be concerned
about whether we have a special diet,"
she said.
However, Hill said, she wishes the
women's program would have been
considered during the planning stages
for the new training table.
"It's too bad the women weren't
considered," she said. "I think both
programs have adequate facilities. But
the newness of the Hewitt Center, and
the publicity it has received, adds more
glamor."
Hill said a women's training table
would have served as a powerful recrui
ting tool. Other schools have women's
training tables, she said, giving them a
recruiting advantage over UNL
Devaney said he doesn't foresee a
women's training table in UNL's imme
diate future.
"We don't have the money," he said.
Two UNL alumni contributed all the
funds for the men's dining and study
area Bill Hewit and Bob Boekel, both
from Denver, donated a total of about
$1 million for the project. Hewit and
Boekel specified that their money be
used for men's athletics only, Devaney
said.
Hence, the new complex serves men
athletes only. It's not big enough to
serve both the men's and women's pro
grams, Devaney said.
"They (women) are not eating there
because the place wasn't built for men
and women," he said. "They didn't eat
with the men when it (the training
table) was in Selleck."
The university badly needed a new
training table, Devaney said. The old
training table at Selleck Quadrangle
seated about 125 people, half as many
as the new dining room can seat.
But Devaney's comments didn't satisfy
Jean O'Hare, executive director of the
Nebraska Commission on the Status of
Women.
"There are desperate opportunities
going on," O'Hare said. "The study cen
ter for men has several computers; the
women have no computers. Women ath
letes have to leave their study area
periodically because it's used for meet
ings. The women's program isn't as
fully developed, and the women ath
letes do not have the kinds of oppor
tunities the men have."
O'Hare said her office has received
15 to 20 calls from people concerned
about the university's training table
policy. She said she thinks many peo
ple are shocked and surprised that the
new facility isn't used by athletes of
both sexes.
O'Hare and Hale both said they plan
to discuss the situation further with
UNL officials.
"I think the university should do
some future planning," O'Hare said.
"Are there facilities that could be
turned into a training center for female
athletes? I'm not just talking about
athletics. I'm talking about academics."
O'Hare said the university should
have talked with Hewit, Boekel and
other alumni about including women
in the new training facility. But now
that a separate training table exists,
she said, university officials should try
to make the women's program compar
able to the men's.
