now,” he said. “There arc definitely
some pros and cons.”
Only about 30 percent of season
ticket holders currently donate to the
athletic department, Fourakcrsaid. A
change to priority scaling, he said,
could raise as much as $2 million to S3
million a year.
A third option the athletic depart
ment is already pursuing and may
expand, Fouraker said, is corporate
sponsorships of athletic events.
Corporate sponsors already adver
tise on the scoreboards in Memorial
Stadium. This year is the first in which
advertisements have also been in other
areas of the stadium, such as behind
the end /.ones.
The athletic department is looking
into further expanding its corporate
sponsorships of football games and
selling them for basketball games as
well, he said. /
The main difficulty in eliminating
the athletic department’s S1.8 million
deficit, Fouraker said, is the athletic
department’s financing of the Cam
pus Recreation Center. He said the
athletic department makes a S1.2 m il
lion toSl .5 million payment yearly to
pay for the center.
The athletic department’s obliga
tion to the SI5 million center will
probably end during the 1995 football
season, Fouraker said.
“It’s hard to make (the deficit) up
when we still have that item,” he said.
The Computing Resource Center is offering free1
microcomputer seminars to UNL students. The seminars will
feature an introduction to Microsoft Word for the Macin
tosh and WordPerfect for IBM machines. No reservations
are required.

offers to play basketball from col
leges throughout the nation.
Oklahoma, California and South
ern California were on the top of his
list with Nebraska, but he was in
clined toward attending Syracuse.
But when the Syracuse basketball
program underwent an NCAA inves
tigation earlier this year, Woolridge
said he knew his choice was clear.
“(Nebraska) was close to home,
and I knew I could come and fit in with
the rest of the players,” Woolridge
said.
As for the 1992-93 Nebraska team,
Woolridge said the Huskcrs had the
talent to be one of the top teams in the
nation.
“We compete talent-wise with the
best of them — not only in the Big
Eight but in the entire country,”
Woolridge said. “We’ll be as good as
we allow ourselves to be.”

Bad boy image
hampers ‘Canes
CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) —
The latest complaint about the behav
ior of the M iam i Hurricanes has coach
Dennis Erickson angry.
Captains from both Miami and
Penn State skipped the handshake
ritual during the coin toss prior to the
Hurricanes’ 17-14 victory Saturday.
Nittany Lions guard John Gcrak per
ceived it as a snub by the Hurricanes
and termed it, “gradc-schoolish.”
At Erickson’s weekly news con
ference on Tuesday, he said hisplay
ers were innocent of an etiquette er
ror.
“I watched what happened,” he
said. ‘‘Our guys stuck their hands out,
and Penn State ran off the field. So
who’s wrong there?”
Publicity about the incident upset
Erickson, who has struggled since
arriving at Miami in 1989 to improve
the Hurricanes’ bad-boy image.
“Now all of a sudden Miami
doesn’t shake hands,” Erickson said.
“Please.”
Erickson acknowledged that he
instructed his captains to shake hands
at Penn Stale after Miami players
declined to lake part in the coin-loss
formality prior to at least two other
games.
He was able to find some humor in
the matter. Leaving the room, he made
a point of shaking quarterback Gino
Torrctla’s hand.
What’s not so funny to the Hurri
canes is the idea that their image hurts
them in the rankings. Despite con
secutive victories over Florida Stale
and Penn State, Miami (5-0) trails No.
1 Washington by one point in this
week’s poll.
“I think some people still have that
nasty taste about us on the inside of
them,” linebacker Jessie Armstead
said. “But we’ve changed our ways a
little, you know?”
The defending national champi
ons take a 23-game winning streak
into Saturday’s home game against
Texas Christian (1-3-1).
A decade of success, like the Hur
ricanes’ lingering black-hat image,
may work against them with poll vot
ers, Armstead said.
“When somebody stays on top so
i _ _- **_.1 __:_*i__ —
lung, yuu lu^u ui avi/iug mt/iii uu
lop,” he said.
Narrow victories have also hurt the
Hurricanes in the rankings, and
Saturday ’ s game m ay pro v idc a chance
for a lopsided margin. Erickson said
there should be no need to run up the
score.
“What I think poll voters look at is,
‘Did you dominate this opponent like
you’re supposed to?”’ he said. “It’s
when you struggle against a team
you’re supposed to beat that it hurts
you.”
Erickson said the Hurricanes de
serve to be crowned champions in at
least one poll if they finish 12-0.
