UNL hockey team
‘a chilling thought’
HOCKEY from Page 8
countries. Who knows — maybe
some of Nebraska’s foreign athletes
have a few hockey-puck-chasing
friends. “Puckers,” if you will.
The best part is that hockey would
raise even more money for
Nebraska’s athletic department,
which never seems to have enough.
A 15,000-scat hockey arena could
be built somewhere on campus, like
maybe where Hamilton, Avery, Old
father and Burnett halls are. All the
athletic department would need to do
is hire some demolition company to
tear down those athletically useless
buildings, and voila! A brand-new
vacant lot, just waiting to serve the
Nebraska athletic department... er,
university community.
Maybe the athletic department
could just commandeer one of UNL’s
parking lots, like the one across the
street from the Harper-Schramm
Smith residence complex. After all,
everybody knows UNL has way too
much parking as it is. Who would
even miss 1,000 parking stalls?
And, without a doubt, the friendly
folks at the athletic department could
find a way to pay for the arena without
the students contributing anything, or
the parents of the students paying
extra taxes. It would be just like the
(b(b(t'(b(b(b(b(b(^(b(b(b(b(b(b(
t
construction of the indoor practice
field and the student rec . .. oops, I
guess that hasn’t been built yet. Silly
me, my mistake!
Sure, our student fees would be
raised only $250 per semester, but
what the hell. It’s only money — just
like the green stuff you gave away to
the Cook Indoor Practice Barn.
The “Compuckers” could hire a
coach from some now-defunct semi
pro team north of the border, and he
could have his own hockey television
show. “The Guy MacKenzie Show”
or “The Skatin’ and Hatin’ Hour”
could replace “The Tom Osborne
Show” as a Sunday-night favorite.
Next, ol' Coach MacKenzie could
sign some contract with a Norwegian
skate company and make $30,()()() a
year in profit. Boy, can't you see the
DN editorials now? I can just hear the
irate phone calls to the office:
“MacKenzie doesn’t make as
much money as the Minnesota or
Notre Dame coaches do,”
Cornpuckcr supporters would
scream. “Losing only two or three
games a season is a great effort, and
this state’s lucky to have him! Could
you do any better, Green?”
What a chilling thought.

Nebraska women’s basketball
coach Angela Beck will unveil a
“patched-up” lineup when the Corn
huskers face Oklahoma Stale
Wednesday night at the Bob Devancy
Sports Center.
Beck said Nebraska will have to
test its depth because starting center
Stephanie Bolli has been lost for the
season. Bolli tore a ligament in her
right knee during Nebraska’s 84-69
loss to Colorado Saturday night in
Boulder, Colo.
Beck said she isn’t sure who will
replace Bolli in the Nebraska lineup
even though Heather Smith is listed as
a tentative starter at forward and Kim
Harris will move to center. She said
the Huskcrs will have to play with
more emotion and be more aggressive
to replace Bolli.
“We will have to find someone
with the qualities (Bolli) had,” Beck
said. “I think we have the depth, but
we w ill miss her because of the great
defensive abilities she gave our
team.”
Nebraska enters Wednesday’s
game in first place in the Big Eight
w ith a record of 15-3 overall and 5-1
in the conference. Oklahoma State,
14-5 overall and 4-2 in the Big Eight,
is tied for second place with Missouri.
“I think it’s a big game because
we’re No. 1 and they’re No. 2,” Beck
said. “We’re coming off a three-game
road trip, so we arc thrilled to be
home.”
Beck said that despite the injury to
Bolli and the loss to Colorado, the
Huskcrs arc “not all down in the
dumps.” She was encouraged by the
fact that Nebraska won two of its last
three road games.
Beck said Oklahoma State’s inside
players arc the key to the Cowgirls’
team. Forwards Jamie Sicss and
Clinctla Jordan lead the team in scor
ing, averaging 18 and 17.9 points per
game. Both players were all-Big
Eight selections last season.
“Jamie Sicss on the outside is just
a great shooter and Jordan is an ex
tremely good player,” Beck said.
Husker gymnast aims for Olympics
DIMAS from Page 8
said.
Like Hariung, Dimas started his
gymnastics career when he was 7.
Dimas said his coach, Ed Birch, was
demanding.
“My coach demanded that I work
hard every day,” Dimas said. “I
couldn't just stand around and kick
back. We were always doing some
thing. But the work paid off, and now
I’m at the right program for me.”
Dimas said he is excited about the
upcoming season because it's an
Olympic year. Although his chances
of making the Olympic team arc
slim, Dimas hopes that someday he
will reach the games.
‘‘I would I ike to make the Olympic
team this year, but I think 1 have a
better shot for 1992,” Dimas said. “I
think the '92 team has the potential to
be better than the 1984 team.”
Dimas participated in the last
three U.S. Olympic Festivals and
competed on the Junior National
Team against Japan and Canada.
For no\$\ Dimas said, he js going
to keep working on his routines and
try to improve. He said a family
atmosphere among the Nebraska
gymnasts has helped him endure the
long hours in the gym.
“Everybody is so close in gym,”
Dimas said. ‘Mt’slike one big family.
Everybody helps you. It's great.
Dimas said he hopes he can help
thcHuskcrsat the NCAA Champion
ships this year.
“I thrive on pressure,” he saiu. Ml
the opportunity for me comes • j>, I
x ill perform. I know Francisdoon’t
want to lose another NCAA, so I hope
1 can win it for him.
“If not this year, then maybe next
year.”
