From Staff Reports
Former Nebraska basketball
player Bruce Chubick is returning
to his home state to play for the
Omaha Racers.
After playing professional bas
ketball in Europe since April 1994,
Chubick signed a contract Monday
to play for the Omaha Racers ofthe
Continental Basketball Association.
In April 1994, the 6-foot-7,230
pound forward played with the BBC
club in Besancon, France. From
August 1994 through March 1995,
Chubick played with Afula Hapoel
in northern Israel.
Chubick, 25, played for Ne
braska from 1991-94 and said he
hbped to use this opportunity to
earn a spot in the NBA.
“I’m interested in making it to
the next level,” Chubick said. “I
really feel Coach T. has a lot of
connections in the league, and he’s
had a lot of guys who have gone
through his system and have gone
on.”
Mike Thibault, president and
coach of the Racers, said Chubick
could help the Racers, who ranked
last in the CBA in rebounding last
season.
“He’s a hard-nosed guy who is
willing to work hard, mix it up,
bang and be physical and still have
a nice soft touch,” Thibault said.
“He needs a year of playing in a *
pro-style game.”

Beck sure new staff
will enhance team
By Derek Samson
Senior Reporter
The Nebraska women’ s basketball
team will be filled with unfamiliar
faces when it begins practice later this
fall.
Coach Angela Beck has four new
assistants, and the
only coach re
tained from last
year’s staff has
changed positions.
But the additions
to Beck’s staff are
no strangers to
coaching or Ne
R k oraaca.
oecR Theresa Becker
returns to Nebraska after a three-year
stint as head coach at Iowa State.
Becker was a Nebraska assistant coach
for seven of her 14 years in coaching.
Becker fills the position of the head
assistant coach, which was vacated by
Karin Nicholls.
“Losing Karin was tough, but she
left knowing that Theresa would take
over,” Beck said. “She knew we were
taken care of. She knows the quality of
coach Theresa is.”
Beck said the three years she and
Becker spent coaching against each
other should make the coaching bond
even stronger.
“She was my main person for seven
years,” Beck said. “She knows me
better than anyone. She spent three
“All these assistants
had something to bring
to the table, and that's
what we looked at."

years respecting what I did as a head
coach, and I spent three years respect
ing what she did for me before she left.
So there is a great deal of mutual
respect there. I feel like things are
going to soar with her back.
“She’s my right-hand person. Its
just great having her back. She’s a
stabilizing force. She’s a doer and a
worker. She has a lot of experience
and a lot of contacts.”
Bobbi Morse was named as the
second assistant coach on Beck’s staff,
replacing Brenda VanLengen.
Morse spent the last two years as an
assistant at the University of Mis
souri-Kansas City and was the head
coach of Kaskaskia Junior College in
Illinois for seven years prior to coach
ing at UMKC.
Morse said she hoped to benefit
from Beck’s program and contribute
to it.

UNL is always striving to find a health plan to suit the needs of our
students. Once again, we are working with GM Southwest of Dallas, TX
to provide such a plan.
If you are not covered by your parent's medical insurance or do not have
any other private insurance, this may be the option you're looking for.
This program is open to graduate and under-graduates.
Students are required to seek their initial treatment at UNL Health
Center, but referrals may be arranged for outside treatment if necessary,
or in emergency situations. Dependent coverage is also available at
additional premiums; however, dependents cannot be seen at the UNL
Health Center.
Annual premium for non-international students for the basic policy is
$399.00. Coverage begins 8/21/95.
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS: Immigration regulations state that
international students must show proof of financial responsibility to
reside in this country. UNL requires mandatory insurance coverage to
comply with these regulations. International students are required to
show proof of adequate insurance or they will be billed for the UNL
student insurance on their tuition statements. The premium of $207.00
per semester will be added to the tuition bills unless a waiver is obtained
from the Student Insurance Coordinator at UNL Health Center.
Coverage for International Students began 8/7/95.
Informational brochures and enrollment applications are available
now. You may obtain brochures at the UNL Health Center,
International Affairs Office, or by mail. There is also a 24-hour
information line at 472-7437.
Welcome to UNL and hive i safe year!
Sanders
Continued from Page 9
Sanders said his father had been
up to Spokane three times to watch
him pitch. However, Sanders said,
his dad put no pressure on him.
“He’s not a pressure-type guy,”
Sanders said of his father. “He’$
happy I’m enjoying It. He mostly
enjoys playing with my dog.”
The only former teammate Sand
ers has talked to since signing with
the Royals has been Dalton.
But he hears how everybody else
is doing from his father. Erstad has
called John Sanders a lot, Craig
said.
Erstad signed a one-year con
tract July 26 with $1,725 million
guaranteed.
After 10 games at Lake Elsinore,
the Angels’ Class-A team, Erstad is
hitting .304 with 10 RBIs.
Shepherd signed with the Ori
oles last week after two months of
contract negotiations.
