    OCR All-Nighter set
By David Moyer
Staff Reporter
The Office of Campus Recreation
will put on its third-annual AU-Nighter
Friday.
Beginning at 4 p.m., students can
enjoy an evening away from drinking
while participating in various activi
ties.
“It was started to provide an alter
native to going out to the bars,” said
Sally Pfeiffer, coordinator of the night’s
activities. “It is something social for
the students to do while staying on
campus.”
At 4 p.m., three-on-three basket
ball, racquetball and badminton tour
naments will begin. The evening will
have various family activities from 6
8 p.m., and then again later in the
evening. At 8 p.m., students can par
ticipate in events such as a TV mara
thon, racquetball and a slam dunk
contest.
Pfeiffer said this year the event is
hoping to attract about 3,000 people,
a step up from last year.
“We more than doubled our num
bers from the first to the second year,”
she said. “We hope to do it again this
year.”
Participants who win an event will
receive an All-Nighter T-shirt as a
prize.
Activities will continue into the
night, ending about 4 a.m. on Satur
day morning.
Students need not register in ad
vance. They just have to show up at
the door Friday, Pfeiffer said.
Bostick

against someone you’re up on by 30
points.
“We’ve held back a lot. By no
means have we used all of our plays.”
Bostick said he is not feeling any
added pressure this week, even though
he is playing the home-state team.
“I want to win the Big Eight and go
to the Orange Bowl,” he said. “Whether
or not we beat Washington doesn’t
determine that.”
ii tne HusKers win tne game, Bos
tick said, he is not going to rub things
in immediately.
“I don’t think they’d take kindly to
me calling home right away,” he said.
“They have really big fans back there
just like we do here.
Bostick said even if the two teams
weren’t playing, he is still good about
not saying too much.
“When I go home I’m usually nice
because I might have to live there
again someday,” Bostick said. “I don’t
go around saying how good Nebraska
football is.”
Batting
Continued from Page 13
Well, some batting race propo
nents claim that it keeps the season
interesting for fans whose teams
have dropped out of the race.
For example, the Reds’ Hal
Morris and the Cardinals’ Felix
Jose are playing for teams which
have all but been eliminated, yet
they still have to play nearly 20
games.
The question that naturally fol
lows that argument is that if these
people were real baseball fans,
wouldn’t they be following their
teams regardless of the won-loss
records? After all, Harry Caray
doesn’t hang up his microphone
until the Cubs leave the field in
October.
Other fans say that hitting is a
pure statistic, the mark of a real
baseball player. The batting race,
they conclude, is an accurate rep
resentation of the best players in
the sport.
But over the years, some play
ers have shown their true colors
once they see a batting crown on
the horizon.
Take the Royals’ thirtysomething
George Brett. Last season, Brett
was looking to become the first
player to win a batting title in three
different decades.
Brett, who owned a slim lead,
was battling Oakland’s Rickey
Henderson in the final weeks of the
race. It was a cat-and-mouse deal,
but Brett opted not to play in sev
eral of the Royals’ last games.
Henderson kept swinging, but
was unable to get hits or catch
Brett, who won the title and the
hearts of thousands of m iddle-aged
men across the country.
The history books will say noth
ing about Brett sitting out, just that
he won the title. He earned it, yes,
but he earned it by sitting when it
counted.
Not exactly what Abner Dou
bleday had in mind.
And try this: Last year, Willie
McGee (now of the San Francisco
Giants) won the National League
batting title as a member of the
American League’s Oakland Ath
letics. McGee was traded late in
the season, but he had enough
National League at-bats to win the
title.
He didn’t even play in a Na
tional League park in September.
So pardon me if I don’t follow
Franco’s statistics in the paper every
day.
Sue me if Fred Hickman’s nightly
reports on Hal Morris don’t send
chills up my spine.
The real races are those played
on the field for 162 games by nine
players instead of one. The real
races are decided in April, not by a
few crappy swings in October. And
the real baseball players are the
ones who play to win a World
Series ring, not to be at the top o( a
statistical column.
That’s the real story.

Nebraska volleyball team drops one spot in poll after loss
The Nebraska volleyball team
dropped from fourth to fifth on the
American Volleyball Coaches As
sociation Poll released Tuesday,

Hawaii, UCLA and Pacific in both

will face No. 9 Brigham Young
