'Olympics' feature
more events, athletes
By Mike Reilley
Senior Reporter
They don't count on Mary Lou Retton
or the Soviets to show up, but the
organizers of the International Student
Olympics said they are pleased with
the increase in participation for this
year's games.
The games, which follow the pattern
of the real Olympics, start today and
continue through Sunday. They will
conclude the following weekend.
Last year, about 150 students parti
cipated in at least one of six events,
said Rod Merta, program coordinator
for International Educational Services
at Nebraska. That figure has increased
to 250 this year, he said.
The main reason for the increase:
The Olympics offer five more events
this year, Merta said. Tennis, swim
ming, track, soccer and tug of war have
been added to the original list of bas
ketball, volleyball, badminton, table
tennis, bowling and billiards.
So far, soccer has been the most
popular sport. It has attracted 55
participants. The International Student Athletic
Committee, which sponsors the stu
dent Olympics, made two major changes
in this year's program. Instead of being
held during one weekend like last year,
the games are spread over two weekends
because the committee was unable to
schedule certain facilities when they
needed them.
This year the billiards, bowling and
table tennis events will be at the East
Union recreation room. The Nebraska
Union rec room was used before, but it
was closed last winter to make room for
the remodeled University Bookstore.
A shuttle van will be available to
students who compete in sports on
each campus, Merta said. The van will
stop at Broyhill Fountain each day at
5:45 a.m. and 7:45 a.m.
Also new to this year's games: The
Azfar Khan Cup, a traveling trophy that
is awarded to the student group that
amasses the highest overall team score.
Individual trophies are awarded to the
winners of each event and points are
awarded to the first, second and third
place finishers. The winning team's
name will be engraved on a plate that
will be mounted on the trophy.
Syed Feizal, a member of the defend-ing-champion
Malaysian Student's
Association and last year's games
organizer, said the committee origi
nally planned to have the trophy for
last year's games, but ran out of funds
to pay for it.
Merta said the competition skill
level varies. The games have lured peo
ple from an expert badminton player to
novice basketball players, he said.
"Most of the people who participate
in these events aren't in serious train
ing, so we try to scale distances in
events like swimming and track to
them," he said.
Still, the games have had its share of
upsets. Last year, Genny Keeler, who
represented Nebraska and the region
in the national collegiate union's bil
liard tournament two years ago, was
upset in head-to-head competition with
Arab students.
Feizal and Merta agreed that one of
the disappointing aspects of the games
is the lack of U.S. students' participa
tion. Last year, the only U.S. teams that
won events were the men's and women's
bowling teams. The United States wasn't
among the top three teams in the over
all competition, either. The Chinese
Student's Association finished second
and the Indonesian team placed third.
"The Americans could probably win
if they had someone take charge,"
Feizal said. "The Chinese will probably
be our toughest competition again this
year."
Merta said the Malaysians, Chinese
and Indonesian teams take the compe
tition more seriously than the other
participants.
"I think the team rivalry comes
down to those three groups," he said.
Merta said the athletic committee
may try a new plan to boost U.S. inter
est next year. In the past, the commit
tee has contacted Selleck Quadrangle
and International House in an attempt
to get more U.S. entries. Although both
residence halls showed interest, Merta
said more U.S. interest is necessary.
"Next year we might try a fraternity
to get more interest," he said.
Entries for the games range from
$1.50 to $2.75, depending on extra fees
for equipment rental, Merta said. Late
entries may be accepted today, he said.
Anyone interested should contact Inter
national Educational Services by cal

Idle Nebraska slips a notch
in Bottom Ten football poll
By Steve Harvey
THE COLLEGES
The crazily bouncing football con
tinued to baffle the experts, as well as
the Bottom Ten selectors, as Indiana,
Oregon State and Northwestern pulled
off victories Saturday and Oklahoma
remained winless.
Look for the Sooners, supposedly the
top team in the country, to stay out of
the victory column until at least Sept.
28. "Being No. 1 just raises the expecta
tions of your fans," lamented Oklahoma
Coach Barry Switzer a few weeks ago.
What kind of expectations? That the
0-0 Sooners are ever going to play a
game?

THE PROS
This week's Bottom Ten Heads-Up
Award goes to the Chicago Bears, whose
QB Jim McMahon has a sore neck,
possibly caused by a new team ritual
helmet bumping between McMahon
and the offensive linemen following
Bear touchdowns.
"It's just something we started
doing," McMahon says modestly. It just
goes to show you: You can take the boy
out of the Bottom Ten, but....
The Bears narrowly edged out the
Philadelphia Beagles' point-a-half of
fense for the honor. With the Beagles
trailingjust 6-10 Sunday, receiver Kenny
Jackson was tackled on the Rams' 5
yard line, whereupon he spiked the
ball, drawing a 5-yard penalty. Begin
ning of end of touchdown drive.
The Beagles, now reigning under the
Bottom Ten, have rolled up six points
in two games, fewer than Indianapolis
(16) or starving Buffalo (12).
