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.”

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.”
