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."
