Club chops ninja image KARATE from Page 8 the tournament was to avoid violence. Dunbar said respect for one’s train ing partner is also a priority. Neely said he studies karate to gain “mental discipline, firstand foremost. Physical fitness comes with it.” Dunbar said karate conditions the whole body, increasing limberness and quickness, while developing both upper and lower body and right- and left-side strength. “Your whole body has to be in tune,” he said. Korinko said the karate club is not suitable for overly aggressive people. Much of the emphasis is on Japanese $ martial culture, with required read- J ings and written tests for promotion. None of the club members said they studied to learn self-defense. All said they never expect to use karate to defend themselves. Neely, who works as a security guard, said, “I don’t hang around those kind of people. I try to avoid those situations.” The UNL Karate Club meets Tues days and Thursdays from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Order now and wear your ring at graduation Your Herff Jones representative will be on campus this Thurs. and Fri Nov. 19th and 20th at the University Bookstore (City Campus) from 8:30 am-5 pm.

Announcement Line) Butch Ireland/Daily Nebraskan Carla Baker (left) and Kathi DeBoer I Volleyball team earns bye, hopes for 12th Big Eight title By Mark Derowitsch Senior Reporter Despite winning 11 consecutive Big Eight volleyball titles, Nebraska middle blocker Virginia Stahr said the Comhuskers cannot afford a letdown in the conference tournament this weekend at Salina, Kan. “Everybody will be out to get us,” Stahr said. “They play their best against us. We don’t take any team for granted because we play against our selves. That comes through team work.” Nebraska volleyball coach Terry Pettit said he isn’t worried about the Huskers not playing hard. “I think we’ve played much bet ter,” Pettit said. “We’re going to have four good practices this week. I think we’ll continue to get better all the time.” 'I think we'll con tinue to get better all the time' — Pettit The Huskers, 26-3 overall and 12 0 in the Big Eight, earned a first-round bye in the toumamentand will face the winner of the Kansas-Kansas State match Saturday at 6 p.m. at the Bicen tennial Center. Pettit said the bye will make no difference to the Huskers. “1 don’t know if it’s any advantage or disadvantage because of the type of team we have to play being the No. 1 seed,” Pettit said. “The only advan tage is we get to go down a day later and we have an extra day to practice.” But Iowa Slate coach Vicki Mealer said the bye will probably help the Huskers. “It can do one of two things,” Mealersaid. “Their first match will be in the semifinals, and the opponent will have a game under their belts. Since we’re playing in a new facility, not playing a first-round game could hurt them. But they will be fresh coming in and have an extra day of practice.” Mealcr said the Cyclones, 19-10 overall and 8-4 in the Big Eight, arc keying on their semifinal match against Oklahoma. “I think we’re playing well right now, but we’re looking to the semifi nal match against Oklahoma,” Mealcr said. “That will be a critical match for us because we haven’t beaten them this season.” Mealer said Iowa State has a chance to win the tournament if the Cyclones get past Oklahoma. “If we make it to the champion ships, we will give Nebraska a good match,” Mealer said. Stahr said the rest of the Big Eight will see a different Nebraska team throughout the tournament. Following a 15-8, 15-5, 15-10 match against Kansas last week, Stahr said the Huskers rededicated them selves for the rest of the season. She said the Huskers were in a slump be fore a 40-minute team meeting after their straight-set win against the Jay hawks. “We were like going down a lad der,” Stahr said. “But now we’re climbing back up.” Stahr said the different team was evident last Saturday as the Huskers defeated Missouri in straight sets in their final tuncup before the confer ence tournament. Pettit said Nebraska was going through some hard times. ‘‘The players wanted to play hard the last few days,” Pettit said. “We just went through a midscason slump, but it’s hard not to have those things hap pen.”
