Intramural sports let
collegians get athletic
From staff reports ___ gg
Intramural sports provide fun and
exercise for many students at the Uni
versity of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Mark Powell, intramural sports
assistant at UNL, said the Office of
Campus Recreation offers more than
150 activities.
“We offer more than just the staple
sports, like football, basketball and
softball," Powell said. “We have ev
erything —chess, sports trivia—just
about anything you can think of.”
Major team sports cost S25 to en
ter, and weekend team tournaments
are S5, plus a refundable SI5 forfeit
fee. Individual activities are free.
Winners of all activities receive a
coveted intramural t-shirt and cham
pionsof many team sports are awarded
trophies.
Powell said 60-65 percent of the
student population participate in in
tramural sports.
Incoming freshmen can get in
volved in intramurals through their
floor managers in residence halls and
through the athletic chairpersons in
We offer more than

have everything —

fraternities or sororities, he said.
Powell said students who live off
campus usually form their own teams
through the campus recreation office.
Few people have enough talent to
play varsity sports at a large univer
sity, like UNL, he said. Therefore,
intramurals arc perfect for students
who like sports and want to stay in
shape.

Repertory Theatre
12th & R Street, Lincoln f
Theaters bring out stars
By Andrea Kaser
Staff Reporter
From old-fashioned velvet re
clining seats to a space-age lobby
that transforms people into crea
tures that glow in the dark, movie
going in Lincoln can be more than
just a generic “shoe box’’ experi
ence that leaves the movie-goer
broke.
Lincoln has 12 theaters, with a
total of 30 screens, and probably
the most practical difference be
tween theaters is the price for ad
mission. Ranging from as little
as $ 1.50 at the Starship 9,13th and
Q streets, to $4 with a student
identification card most anywhere
else, you can kick back and let the
big screen dazzle you for a couple
of hours.
Second-run theaters in Lincoln
that charge $2 or less include the
Starship 9, the Stale, 1415 O St.
that costs $1.75 and the Joyo, 6102
Havelock Ave. that charges $2 for
students with identification. These
theaters usually feature movies that
first-run theaters have recently
stopped showing.
Despite the price, the Starship 9
and the Joyo are among the city’s
most interesting movie spots. The
Starship 9 is where movie-goers
get to glow in the dark, thanks to
special black lights.
In contrast to the Starship 9, the
Joyo features an old-fashioned at
mosphere — and old-fashioned
prices.
At the Joyo a box of M&Ms cost
50 cents, a medium drink costs 75
cents and popcorn is a modest 50
cents. While most theaters charge
two times these prices or more, the
other theaters don’t serve Slush
Puppies and ice cream bars like the
Joyo.
Either of the Joyo’s owners, Edy
or Don Montgomery, will most
likely greet you at the door. The
pair say their theater is about 75
years old, and they haven’t done
much to keep up with the times
either, which adds to the theater’s
character.
The scats at the Joyo, which arc
made of wood and upholstered with
worn red velvet, are positioned on
the theater’s original oak floor, and
upon leaning back, the scats slide
to accommodate your position.
The second-run theaters are fun
and inexpensive, but a lot of folks
don’t want to wait until movies
reach the second-run market. That’s
fine because there arc a lot of first
run theaters around, and these have
few major di ffcrcnccs between them
except for the actual movies that
are shown. As far as sound quality
goes, Doug Kinney, the city man
ager for the Douglas Theatre Com
pany, said the Edgewood 3 at 56th
Street and Highway 2 has the best
sound in Lincoln. But he added that
the Lincoln Theatre at 1145 P St.,
with its FR Dolby stereo sound, has
the best system in the downtown
area. The Cooper, 54th and O
streets, has the largest screen in the
city. The cliche “larger than life”
reaches a new dimension with its
22 by 44 fool screen.
Other first-run theaters in Lin
coln include: The Cinema 1&2,
201 N. 13lh St; The Douglas 3,
1300 P St.; East Park 3, in East Park
Plaza Mall at 66lh and O streets;
thcPlaza4,201 N. 12th St.; and the
Stuart, 13th and P streets.
