football stadium for every game since
1962.
And Oregpn has 14 athletic pro
grams, while Nebraska has 21.
But, he said, “(Nebraska) may have
an impression that because our foot
ball team is not in a huge bowl game,
jthat this may be a second-class pro
gram. This is not. This is a first-class
program.”
Since his appointment, Byrne said
he had gotten bags full of letters from
Nebraska.
“The response from Nebraska has
been phenomenal,” he said. “They’re
glad to have me there.”
Byrne said he wasn’t bothered when
he heard that some NU athletics boost
ers were upset when he was appointed
to the position instead of A1 Papik,
UNL’s assistant athletic director for
compliance.
I hat jusl shows the depth ol iccl
ing for the program,” he said.
Byrne wouldn’t predict whether
his name would become a staple like
that of Athletic Director Bob Deva
ney or football coach Tom Osborne.
“I will predict that I will work
hard, and that I will give our coaches
and athletes a chance to win on the
playing fields and in the classroom.
“And we will do things the right
way.”
Doing things right includes hav
ing a lot of contact with athletes, he
said.
Byrne meets monthly with repre
sentatives from the athletic teams at
Oregon.
“By the lime they arc seniors,” he
said, “I am usually on a first-name
basis with all of our athletes.”
Byrne said he found his work en
joyable — so enjoyable that there is
little time leftover for his hobbies: fly
fishing, reading and music.
But golf is Byrne’s latest hobby —
a good sport to pick up, he said, since
Nebraska has fewer rivers and lakes
for fly fishing than Oregon.
It looks like the sports lover is off
to a good start.
“I just broke 90 yesterday for the
first lime on the golf course.”
Clinton

caster County Democratic Party, said
the purpose of the rally was to let the
county know the Democratic Party
was alive and active in the area.
“We also wanted to give an alter
native to people who didn’t want to
stay home and listen to the utter rheto
ric and trash from the Republican
National Convention,” he said.
Hoppe, a UNL political science
graduate, said the rally mainly at
tracted older Clinton supporters, but
said he was certain most college stu
dents favored Clinton.
Chris Funk, director of Planned
Parenthood of Lincoln, said she at
tended the rally to show her strong
opposition to George Bush and his
“bankrupt” policies.
“I believe that Clinton and Gore
have a viable vision for the country
and will support my concerns,” she
said.
Although Funk could not speak for
Planned Parenthood, she said the pri
mary issue for her in the campaign
was reproductive rights.
Funk said she wanted to express
her disagreement and anger with Bush,
who has the “audacity” to think he
has the right to determine women’s
medical options.
Bert Harris, brother of former
Lincoln Mayor Bill Harris, opened
the rally by sharing his humorous
imitations of Sen. Bob Kerrey, Ross
Perot and former presidents Jimmy
Carter and Ronald Reagan.
Harris said he hoped ihc rally would
spark the Democratic movement in
the area.
“It’s a nice way to get the momen
tum going and gather energy," he
said.
Hoppe said he thought the rally
was a success.
Clinton, he said, is still leading
Bush in most polls since the Republi
can convention, and local Democrats
arc becoming more active in the Clin
ton campaign.
“I am guaranteeing Bill Clinton
will win big in Lancaster County,” he
said.
