6 Around the world’ staged to thank students
By Jeff Apel
Senior Editor
The Office of Campus Recreation
will be extending its thanks when the
first around the world in sports is
staged Friday and Saturday.
Craig Christensen, the relations
director at the Office of Campus
Recreation, said his organization
developed the idea for the all-night
affair to show its appreciation. He
said the appreciation centers on stu
dent support, which helped lead to the
construction of the student Recrea
tion Center.
Christensen and Stan Campbell,
director of the Office of Campus
Recreation, said they were worried
when they approached the state Leg
islature’s appropriations committee
about the proposed center. They said
their concerns were based upon skep
tics who pointed to the multi-million
dollar facility assessment that was
used to fund the center.
But thanks to student turnout,
Campbell said those concerns were
put aside and the center became a
reality. University of Nebraska-Lin
coln students and faculty members
will have a chance to take advantage
of that reality this weekend, when
around the world in sports begins at 6
p.m. Friday in Phase II of the center at
14th and Vine St
The event concludes at 5 a.m.
Saturday.
Campbell said he is looking for
ward to the event.
‘‘It’s a way to show kids the build
ing,” Campbell said,4 ‘and it’s a way
for us to show out appreciation.”
‘‘Without student support, this
would not have been possible.”
Campbell said it was not easy to
receive approval for the student rec
reation center. He said the process
started as early as 1981, whenaques

tion placed on an Association of Stu
dents of the University of Nebraska
ballot showed that 65 to 70 percent of
all students were in favor of new
recreational facilities.
‘Now we’re up to
par. We’re able to
serve the students
much better.’
—Campbell
Following a similar survey in the
spring of 1985, university officials
took the first step, toward receiving
approval by approaching the central
planning committee. Approval then
^ a
was needed from the chancellor, the
Board of Regents and the appropria
tions committee before the project
began in April 1987.
The project originally was slated
to be completed all at once, but later
was divided into three separate proj
ects because of financial concerns.
Phase I of the center included an
indoor practice field, while Phase II
consisted of the new building that is
located behind the NU Coliseum.
Phase III, which includes a total
renovation of the NU Coliseum, is
scheduled to begin in January.
Campbell said the completed
phases of the center have had a dra
matic impact on the Office of Cam
pus Recreation. He said the most
noticeable impact is in availability
hours, which have tripled since the
old men’s P.E. building was razed in
favor of the indoor practice field.
Campbell said students and fac
ulty members used to be able to use
the recreational facilities approxi
mately 35 hours a week. Now, he
said, they can use them 108.5.
Phase II of the center is open from
6:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.
“Before, we offered the lowest
number of hours per week in the Big
Eight,” Campbell said. “Now, we’re
up to par. We’re able to serve the
students much better.”
Campbell said around the world in
sports could become an annual event.
He said students have shown interest
in the event, and it has acquired three
sponsors.
Those sponsors include Lincoln
radio station B104, Dominos Pizza
and Pepsi. Hot dogs also will be
served.
Christensen said the highlight of
• -4
this year’s event is a dance which will
be staged from 9 p.m. to midnight. He
said B104 will do on-site remotes
from the dance, and also will supply
an abundance of music.
Christensen said another highlight
is the floor hockey tournament,
which is accepting entries until noon
today. Proceeds from the tourna
ment, which has a $25 entry fee, will
go to the USF&G national collegiate
drive to cure paralysis.
Christensen said he hopes the
floor hockey tournament, the dance
and the numerous other events that
are being offered will lead to a large
turnout. He said students may come
and go as they want even though the
event is set to last 11 hours.
“That place is huge, so we’re
hoping to gel at least a couple thou
sand people, ’ ’ Christensen said. “We
want to pack the place.”

A disappointing performance by
experienced players led to a poor
showing by the Nebraska men’s golf
team in its first competition of the
season.
Nebraska coach Larry Romjue
said disappointing performances by
veterans Mike Troy, Kurt Gerstner
and Eric Eshleman dumped the Com
huskers into a three-way tie for 12th
at Memphis State’s 17-team Hillman
Robbins Memorial Intercollegiate
last Tuesday in Memphis, Tenn.
However, Romjue said he was
happy with the play of two freshmen
-- Travis Hopper and Craig Poet -- in
their first collegiate competition.
“They did OK. Not great, but individual title winning 218 by Cole

Nebraska placed third at this meet
last year.
‘‘I expected some drop-off, but I
didn’t figure it would be as much as
that,” Romjue said.
He said Woodstock Hill is a lough
course, with windy conditions dial
affected some of the scores.
“It’s a difficult course, but we
didn’t play very well either,”
Romjue said. “So it was a combina
tion of the two.”
Romjue also said the other teams
competing in the tournament had
seen competition this year. He said
the Huskers’ lack of prior competi
tion was a factor.
Nebraska normally starts compe
tition earlier in the season, but with
the addition of five new players on
the team this year, Romjue said he
decided to spend more time practic
tng.
“Because of the number of fresh
men and new players this year I de
ferred not to play and just practice for
a while,” he said.
The Huskers, he said, will im
prove as the season progresses.
“We’ll get belter,” Romjue said.
“The ability is there and it’s my job
to get it out of them.”
Nebraska’s next meet is Monday,
when the Huskers travel to Atlanta to
compete in the Peach State Invita
tional. Nebraska then will compete in
the Dixie Intercollegiate next weck
end in Columbus, Ga.
UNL, Cablevision begin venture
Games offered in pay-per-view package
By Jeff Apel
Senior Editor
The Nebraska athletic department
and Cablevision will start a new ven
ture when the Comhuskers face Mis
souri Saturday.
Nebraska athletic director Bob
Devaney and Dick Bates, general
manager of Cablevision, said they are
approaching Saturday’s game with
anxiety because it marks the first time
they have experimented with a pay
per-view telecast. They said the Mis
souri game is an ideal time to begin
because of the popularity of Husker
football.
The game is one of tnree contests
that are offered in a pay-per-view
package for $59,95. The others are
the Oklahoma and Oklahoma State
contests.
Devaney said Nebraska has not
used pay-per-view telecasts in the
past because the Huskers usually
have at least one of their non-confer
ence games televised. This season,
\ —
schedule which was criticized for
being soft, no non-conference games
were televised.
Devaney said NCAA sanctions
against Oklahoma and Oklahoma
State also affected Nebraska’s deci
sion. The Sooners and Cowboys are
barred from making live TV appear
ances this season, but their games
against Nebraska will be shown at
10:30 p.m. the day they are played.
The Huskers will face Oklahoma
Nov. 18 in Lincoln, and will travel to
Stillwater, Okla., to face Oklahoma
State Oct. 21.
Saturday’s game against Missouri
will be televised live from Columbia,
Mo. That game begins at 1:30 p.m.
Devaney said Nebraska will make
at least $45,000 from each telecast.
He said that figure could increase if
the demand for a particular contest is
heavy.
Devaney said the Huskers are not
worried about earning money from
the contests.
“Making money is incidental,”
he said. “We want to give people a
chance to see more games.”
Devaney said his only disappoint
ment about the telecasts is that they
can not be purchased individually in
Lincoln. He said the $59.95 price tag
may scare some fans away.
Bates said Cablcvision cannot
offer the games on an individual basis
because it does not have an address
able system. He said an addressable
system allows companies to convert
individual cable boxes through a
centrally located, voice-activated
computer.
Bates said pay-per-view package
sales have been steady. He said he
anticipates they will improve be
cause studies have shown that most
customers wait until the last days to
purchase pay-per-view programs.
Cablevision will be accepting
pay-per-view orders from 8:30 a.m.
to 9 p.m. today and Friday, and from
9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Saturday.
