Windows on both locked doors lead ing to the gym were covered with white towels. At about 5 p.m., Nebraska men's basketball coach Moe Iba and assist ant coach Randy Cipriano came out of one of the gym doors. Iba returned to the gym and seconds later came out the second door. Iba told Dally Nebraskan reporters and photographers, who were waiting outside the gym, that he doesn't think his watching the players shooting bas ketballs is a violation of a National Collegiate Athletic Association rule on practicing prior to Oct. 15. "You can run them," Iba said. "They can shoot on their own. They can play games on their own. I can't tell them what to be doing. "We know the rules," Iba said. "What do you want to go and do this to us for?" Jamie McCloskey, legislative assist ant at the NCAA office in Mission, Kan., said NCAA bylaw 3-1-A1 says "the util about 3:40 p.m. He said he didn't see anyone come to or leave the gym. The two doors are the only entrances to the gym. A fire door also leads to the gym, but it is locked from the outside. Prentice Gautt, associate commis sioner of the Big Eight Conference, said "on-court practice held in direction of, or supervised by, any member or mem- ization of basketballs in a gymnasium bers of the institution's coaching staff prior to Oct. 15 violates pre season legislation." Iba defended his appearance at the court. "I just walked in, stayed there for a few minutes and (then) ran them," Iba said. "When they play their games and things, I'm not supposed to be there." Iba said he got to the gym at "about four o'clock." Daily Nebraskan photographer Dan Dulaney arrived outside the gym at shall not take place prior to Oct. 15." "Players can go over and participate in pick-up teams," Gautt said. "Very rarely would you find a coach who would violate that rule because of the ramifications involved." Nebraska Athletic Director Bob Devaney said in a telephone interview that the basketball team won't start practice until Oct. 15. The players can practice on their own but coaches aren't allowed to supervise the practices, Devaney said. The NCAA's McCloskey said he couldn't say what the penalty would be if a school were found in violation of the rule. He said the infractions com mittee would review a case. If a viola tion were found, McCloskey said, the committee would decide what sanc tions to place on the school. Gautt said he couldn't respond to any allegations made against a Big Eight school. He said the practice rule would fall under NCAA jurisdiction. But he said he expects Big Eight Conference schools to abide by the rules established by the NCAA. When asked if coaches should be aware of the Oct. 15 practice date, Gautt said "sure." "What we try to do is talk to all of the coaches and keep them appraised of our rules and regulations," he said.

Ernie Chambers is scheduled to speak about South African Apartheid Fri day at an 11 a.m. rally near Broyhill Fountain. The speech, sponsored by UNL student groups, is part of an international day of protest in honor of Nelson Mandela, a South African rebel leader sentenced to life impri sonment in 1963 for his underground activi ties against the government. Mandela is a symbolic leader for African resistance today. Cecilia Ham, vice president of the U.S. v ill. x 'mmf 1 Ifa f ! I Carol WagenerDaily Nebraskan Student Association, said the goal is to make people aware of how concerned students are about the situation in South Africa. Because of differences in the political cli mate at various universities, activities across the nation may range from information dis semination to civil disobedience, Ham said. Goals of the protest include U.S. sanctions against South Africa, divestiture, release of political prisoners and the end of apartheid, she said. Reshell Moore, chairperson of the UNL African Peoples Union, said she thinks stu dents have heard about the South African , problem but are not informed. Fliers and information about South Africa will be distributed from a booth in the Nebraska Union Oct. 9 through 11, Moore said. Black ribbon arm bands also will be distributed to students to signify concern for the problems in South Africa, she said. Moore said though the issue has stirred an awareness on campus, the conservative nature of Nebraskans leads students to "let things lay dormant." It is easy to wear an arm band but difficult to do something disruptive, she said. . "I'd like for students to become more informed, aware and excited," Moore said. "If we don't rally to the6 degree of other campuses that's okay if the information gets across. Ignorance is harmful," she said. Moore said that "even if we had an embassy next door to campus" it would be difficult to rally the students. Students at other universities, such as in California, are willing to sacrifice, to go to the extreme, while Nebraska students don't want to upset things, she said. "I find it sad," she said. Students are the leaders of tomorrow and they take their freedom for granted, Moore said. The African Student Association, the Latin American Solidarity Committee and the UNL Young Democrats are co-sponsoring the events.

Fraternity pays restitution for stolen panties By Michael Hooper Staff Reporter UNL's Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity paid $1,100 Thursday as restitution for its recent panty raid on a Nebraska Wesleyan University Sorority, the sorority president said. Delta Zeta Sorority president Jody Wysong said Sunday that the women in her house are satisfied because "we received a full restitution, and the men (of ATO) realized what they did was wrong." "I think the action we've taken is a deterrent for this ever to happen again," Wysong said. Although most of the underwear, slips, bras, nylons and pajamas stolen were returned by ATO after the raid, Wysong said the undergarments were returned to ATO when the fraternity paid restitution. She said sorority and fraternity officials signed legal papers, so neither party would pursue the panty raid issue further. "From our end everything is OK," Wysong said. Tom Bowen, president of ATO, said Tuesday that the panty raid issue "has been settled for almost two weeks now, but we had to wait for the attorneys to work out their differences before it was formally settled." He said neither party has filed formal charges or formal complaints. "Good relations between Delta Zeta and ATO have been re-established," he said. Asked if ATO felt the $1,100 it gave to Delta Zeta was fair, Bowen said, "Jody (Wysong) originally told me and other officers of ATO thst it would be sufficient to return the garments and settle oaa monetary amount that they saw adequate to replace what (underwear) was not returned. Later they (Delta Zeta members) decided to demand a monetary restitution in the amount of $1,100 to buy all new garments, rather than take back their own. This came as a surprise because they had previously asked for simply returning the garments."
