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 Continued from Page 7 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.
