Chambers invited to stir
controversy with game picks
A controversy has arisen from last
week's predictions.
Last week, I welcomed Colin "Sen
hor Magnifico" Pierson and his Portu
guese 110 class into the column as the
guest predictors.
Jeff Apel
Well, Pierson didn't appear quite as
magnificent after he posted a 1-1 dead
lock with me.
I missed on Iowa's 59-0 victory over
the ever-improving Illinois squad while
Pierson missed on Miami's 29-22 vic
tory over Maryland.
It seems, however, that Pierson has
protested the tie, claiming he had orig
inally picked Miami and should there
fore be given the victory.
Believe what you want, Senhor Mag,
but I have witnesses who saw me write
down your original pick of Maryland.
In honor of this controversy, I decided
to welcome an individual into this
week's column who has been regarded
by many as highly controversial, Omaha
Sen. Ernie Chambers.
Nebraska 41, Kansas 20 at
Lincoln.
Sen. Chambers may have stirred up
controversy right away by picking
Nebraska by only a 27-20 margin. 1
think, however, that Nebraska will
score a lot more against a weak Jay
hawk defense, which has given up too
many points all year long to keep the
dangerous Kansas offense in many
games.
Penn State 17, Notre Dame 16
at College Station, Penn.
I turned this game over to ace news
writer Todd von Kampen, who has
posted a spotless 4-0 record this year.
He picked the Nittany Lions by a 24-21
margin. I'll agree with him as well as
Chambers. Chambers picked Penn State
by a 17-15 margin. I say Penn State will
continue its quest for the 1985 Orange
Bowl by squeaking out another victory
here.
Auburn 21, Georgia 17 at
Athens, Ga.
Chambers and I disagree on this one.
He chose Georgia by a 16-12 margin. I
feel, however, that Auburn will return
to its early season form and claim a
hard-fought victory.
Air Force 4 1 , BYU 39 at Provo,
Utah.
Sen. Chambers sincerely picked BYU
to win this one by a 612-606 score so I
picked Air Force in response. This
game will be a defensive nightmare,
but will also show off the nation's top
two offenses.
Other scores: Washington 24, USC
13; Florida 41, Kentucky 10; Florida
State 45, Western Carolina 14; Mary
land 34, Clemson 14; Oklahoma State
45, Missouri 12; Oklahoma 41, Colorado
14 (Rout of the week); Illinois 14, Indi
ana 10; Michigan 21, Minnesota 10;
Ohio State 34, Wisconsin 14; Iowa 49,
Purdue 24; Rutgers 14, Colgate 10;
Army 35, Memphis State 20; UCLA 31,
Oregon State 7; Arizona 24, Oregon 14;
Alabama 34, Southern Mississippi 14;
LSU 38, Mississippi State 20; Texas 38,
Texas Christian 7; SMU 58, Texas Tech
3; Arkansas 30, Texas A&M 6 and
Slippery Rock 51, Mansfield 14.
Staff assistants keep the peace
By Brian Keenan
Staff Reporter
A disagreement arises at an intra
mural football game. Before blows are
exchanged, an intramural staff assist
ant steps in and resolves the dispute.
It's a typical scene in the life of a staff
assistant.
"People expect us to accomodate
them at the drop of a hat," said Lance
Penfield, an intramural staff assistant
for the Office of Campus Recreation for
the past 4 years. "I've even had people
fight during games."
The job of staff assistant is not given
to just anyone. All of the staff assist
ants have had previous refereeing
experience. In addition, those chosen
to be staff assistants go through a
rigorous training schedule. All are
expected to know cardiopulmonary
resuscitation, and they must go through
a first aid class offered by the office. In
addition, there is an orientation that
all staff assistants attend the week
before school starts.
"There is also evaluation during the
season," said Geri Magwire, who has
been a staff assistant for a year. "We
are always being evaluated on our
performance."
The staff assistants evaluate each
other during the different seasons.
Additionally, they are evaluated by
Kenda Scheele, the coordinator of
intramurals and Bill Goa, the assistant
coordinator. They also have meetings
every two weeks to talk about problems
and potential problems.
The job sounds as if it is all hard
work with little to offer those involved.
However, staff assistants say that is not
the case.
"I took the job because I thought
that it would be a good experience
learning to deal with people in many
different situations," Magwire said.
Currently, there are six men and four
women on the staff. All have had
experience working with the depart
ment, and they come from a variety of
backgrounds.
"We have staff assistants from resi
dence halls, fraternities and sororities,
and off-campus," said Scheele. "They
are an important part of our staff."
The staff assistants are in charge of
all on-field operations. In addition to
setting up the field for play, the staff
assistant is in charge of keeping the
games on schedule. They must settle
most disputes.
"Some people like to see how much
they can get away with," Magwire said.
Additionally, there are many former
high school athletes who want to com
pete in an organized atmosphere,
Magwire said. The competition would
not be organized without the staff
assistants.
"We are a major part of the program
because we do all the dirty work," Pen
field said. "It is also important to give
new officials a crutch to lean on."
Scheele said she hopes that all the
staff assistants will continue referee
ing after they graduate. Saying that she
hoped to continue refereeing, Magwire
said she is trying to start working jun
ior high school games now as prepara
tion. Magwire said that she thought it
would be a good way to stay involved
with sports after she graduates.
Fat fighter finds the funny in fitness
Recently I've been trying to get back
into the fitness craze again. I go
through this about every two years. I'll
lose weight, get into halfway decent
shape, then balloon back up to a size
Levi's won't make jeans for.
Former athletes go through this kind
of thing all the time. They quit sports
and gain an incredible amount of
weight. I don't know what my excuse is.

In the last few months I've lost about
25 pounds and still have 15 to go. But I
won't gain it back this time.
After losing 25 pounds I'm finally to
the point where I can participate in
sports again.
Last year I played intramural bas
ketball while weighing in at more than
200 pounds. Those little strap-like
things that the intramurals depart
ment gives you with numbers on them
looked like a bra on me. Until I got a
haircut the other teams always com
plained that my team should be in the
co-rec league. The scary part is I got
asked out on dates three times.
When you weigh more than 200 and
stand five-foot, nine inches, you just
can't play basketball with other peo
ple. They always pick you last, and then
you run up and down the court shout
ing "I'm open, I'm open." They
obviously think you're saying "I'm
invisible, I'm invisible."
Actually though, I did pretty good in
intramurals last year for a fat person. I
averaged in double figures. That's right,
I ate at least 10 Snickers candy bars
before every game.

But this fitness thing is a must. I
knew it was time to lose weight when I
got in my waterbed and all the water
went to one side of the bed.
I started running, which is great
exercise. Of course, I had to run at
night when all the other fat people do.
Skinny people run during the day, with
no shirt on. Fat people run at night,
wearing loose clothing. My favorite
running outfit was the storm cover for
my neighbor's Ford Bronco. I had to
finally give that up though, because
motorists kept stopping me to tell me
my lights weren't on.
The biggest problem with running at
night is that dogs come after you. Not
little dogs that you can step on, but big
dogs that you can't. Actually this wasn't
such a big problem because every time
a dog came after me my running speed
picked up considerably.
I have to attribute at least a seven- or
eight-pound wieght loss to a certain
German shepard I've named Cannibal.
I also started lifting weights. Now I
can bench press more than 200 pounds.
Of course, not all at once.
The hardest part of this fitness thing
is the dieting. All the books say don't
eat anything that's fatty, sugary, fried,
or high in cholesterol. I didn't know
there was anything else, but I gave it a
try.
I ate yogurt, lettuce, celery, cottage
cheese, fresh fruit, broiled meat, baked
fish, steamed vegatables, skinnless
chicken, cheese, melons, Weight
Watchers dinners, popcorn and drank
diet pop.
The second day of the diet was a lot
harder.
But it's all paid off, because now I
am on my way to a better life, all around
good health, and a slim waistline...as
long as I never let my breath out again.
