Page 6 Monday, September 15, 1986 Daily Nebraskan News Navy Pistol Shooting Team mms for first place Undefeated team confident dispite loss of seniors By Kevin Freadhoff Staff Reporter Doug CarrollDaily Nebraskan Fourth-class midshipman Derek Isaacs of the Navy ROTC practices his pistol shooting Thursday. Isaacs is one of several people trying out for the Navy ROTC pistol marksmanship team. Tltc Nebraska Navy ROTC Pistol Shooting Team is sharpening tip tor another year of com petition, coming off an undefeated set of meets last year. Team captain Mike Hill, a fifth-year senior in business administration, has been on the pistol team for five years. "I think we are going to have a good year," he said. "We lost some shooters from last year, but we got some good freshmen coming in." The team currently consists of 20 people, including three women. In about 2 months, team cuts will leave five shooters for the A team and five for the B team. Three returning starters are Steve Emswiler, Andy Scheere and Hill. Steve Emswiler placed first in the Secretary of Navy Postal Match last year. The team also took first in the competition that invited a possible total of 56 teams, Hill said. This year, the team will be host to the Nebraska invitational and the Big Eight Pistol Match. Last year they traveled to Iowa State, Kansas, Wisconsin, and Missouri. Trips this year will include Iowa Stale and Kansas. To be a member .of .the team .takes both time and money. The government pays for all ammuni tion, but members must pay for theirown jerseys and meals, Hill said. The team practices twice a week for about an hour, Hill said. During meets, Hills said, team members shoot Smith and Wesson 22 caliber pistols. Targets are 50 feet away with a bullseye about 1 12 inches in diameter. Members shoot 30 rounds each, 10 rounds on three targets, with a possible score of 300 points. For the first target, slow; members shoot five rounds in 2 12 minutes twice. The second target, Timed Fire, members shoot five rounds in 20 seconds twice. The last target is Rapid Fire, and members shoot five rounds in 10 seconds twice. The returning shooters all shoot in the 260-point range, Hill said. This year's first meet won't be until second semester, but the team will compete in the Lin coln Small Bore League later this semester, Hill said. Joggingfitness trails to help UNL shape up By Peter J. Soukup Staff Reporter Kxercise-minded I'NL students and faculty soon will be able to use two new joggingfitness trails on the City and East Campuses. Stan Campbell, director of cam pus recreation, said the trails will he ready for use on Sept. 1!). Twelve fitness stations designed specifi cally to work on the upper or lower body, will line each trail, Campbell said. The trails generally use exist ing sidewalks. Where there is a need for a surface "a shredded rubber mixed with granite" will be used, Campbell said. The City Campus trail starts and finishes at the Coliseum and is two miles long. The East Campus trail starts and finishes at the Activities Building and is 1 12 miles long. Det ailed maps will be at the begin ning of each trail. Campbell estimated the total cost of hot h t rails to be about $S,400. The costs of the fitness stations are being funded by the Alumni Associ ation and the University of Nebraska Foundation. The costs of installa tion of the stations and overall maintenance are being funded by Campus Recreation. Campbell said the unmanned out side stations include such exer cises as dips, pull-ups, sit-ups, lower back, and jump and reach stations. Warm-up stations begin and end each (rail with instructions on how to do the exercises. The fitness stations are unusual because thev were "designed on campus," Campbell said. Any needed repairs will be handled more quickly than if the stations were bought from a company, he added. The trails were designed with consider ation of lighted areas for night usage and good crosswalks over streets and intersections, Campbell said. Homeless left out in cold Society faulted homeless victims, expert reports 3y Tammy Kaup Associate News Editor They eat from garbage pails, they sleep in streets. They are the aged, the mentally and physically disabled, the jobless. Homeless people are found in com munities of all sizes, according to a man who has devot ed his life to helping them. Anil they are everyone's respon sibility, he said. Dressed in faded blue jeans and an army jacket, Mitch Snyder, founder of the Community for Creative Non-violence and a director of a shelter for the homeless in Washington, D.C., told an audience at Nebraska Wesleyan Uni versity Friday that helping the home less is not "charity." "It's the responsibility of our citi zenship," he said. "We-have to start doing our jobs as members of a democracy," he said. U.S. citizens must become involved in their communities as any member of a partici patory government is supposed to do, lie said. Snyder fasted four days last June to get the Reagan administration to release $1 million in emergency funds for reno vation of a federally owned building housing 900 people near the Capitol. But the government cannot be depen ded upon to care for the homeless, he said. The federal government does not see social needs as part of its role, he said. The Reagan administration's solu tion to create jobs does not encourage private-sector solutions or help the 1 to 1.5 million people who are physically disabled or over 70 years old, he said. While public consciousness of the problem has increased since six years ago, he said, the number of homeless people increases monthly. Snyder esti mated that two to three million people are homeless in the United States today. The government's report of one quarter million homeless people is "totally fraudulent" he said. Counting the number of homeless people is diffi cult because they must stay "invisible" in order to survive. "Those you see are just the tip of the iceberg," Snyder said. Why are there homeless? Because U.S. society is built in part on "individ ual competition and irrational greed," he said. But another force in our society wards off this me-ism, he said. The idea that Americans can build a better world by working together the phi losophy of the barn-raisers of the prair ie can help solve the problem, he said. The urgency of the problem must be recognized, Snyder said. People left homeless after earthquakes and fires are helped but those homeless through unemployment, mental or phys ical disabilities are left to take care of themselves. The time to reach out to people in suffering and pain is now, he said. "Anyone not doing that has no right to call himself a human being," he said. Women's Resource Center asks for volunteers to help By Bob Fraass Staff Reporter In an effort to provide better and more com prehensive service to Lincoln women, the Women's Resource Center is seeking volunteer help. The resource center's staff, which now con sists of two paid staff members and about 15 volunteers, needs to be expanded to keep its doors open, according to center coordinator Katherine Araujo. "We'll take as many volunteers as we can get," she said. Since its inception in the early 1970s, the center has been a help and information center to UNL and Lincoln women. Araujo said the center answers questions about such problems as violence in the home, contraceptive use, male-female relationship pro blems and adjustment to college life. If the cen ter can't solve the problem, women are referred to other Lincoln agencies. The center also offers the public an extensive library of literature about current women's issues and schedules speakers, programs and music events, Araujo said. "We try to provide useful services for UNL women and women throughout the community," she said. "We want to help people learn more about women's issues." Volunteers are needed to work on the center's newsletter, to aid in research projects and work in the counseling program, Araujo said. Volun teers are also needed to schedule and promote the center's events and programs. "We can offer a lot (to volunteers)," Araujo said. "We give them hands-on experience in put ting together newsletters and in counseling. The experience they get here will be valuable job assets later on." The volunteers also get satisfaction from help ing with their problems, Araujo said. "We want women to come here and feel free to open up and be themselves," she said. Persons interested in being a volunteer can contact the Women's Resource Center in Nebras ka Union 1 17 or go to trie center's open house on Sept. 30 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. "The open house will give people a chance to become familiar with the people who work here and learn about the services we offer," Araujo said. "And those interested in being volunteers can come and see if the center is right for them."
