STRAIGHT TALK
ABOUT SEX.
That's why there's
Planned Parenthood.
Am I ready for sex? Maybe I
am...but maybe I'm not -- it's all sort
of confusing. I need some straight
talk about some major decisions.
My older sister said I should go to
Planned Parenthood. She said the
people at Planned Parenthood really
listen to you, and they give you
straight answers to your questions.
inui me bdme uiu lectures, sne saia tney a give me the
facts I need -- about birth control, safer sex, and sexually
transmitted infections -- so I can make my own choices.
Everything's private and confidential. And the fees are
low, so I can afford it.
So I'm going to Planned Parenthood. Because if you're
thinking about having sex, you don't need the same old
line -- you need some straight talk.

Huskers go on road
to face ‘tough teams’
By Mike Kluck
Senior Reporter
The Nebraska women’s basketball
team will have to prepare for both
ends of the spectrum as it travels to the
top and bottom of the conference for
two games this weekend.
liie 12-4 Comhuskers, who are 2
2 in the Big Eight, will face Missouri
at 7 tonight in the Heames Center at
Columbia, Mo. Then they will travel
to Boulder, Cplo., to play Colorado
on Sunday at 1 p.m. in the Coors Event
Center.
The 10-5 Tigers, 1-2 in the confer
ence, were predicted to finish last in
the Big Eight. They are coming off an
emotional 72-61 victory over Colo
rado on Sunday.
Missouri’s upset snapped
Colorado’s 23-game regular-season
conference winning streak.
The No. 15 Buffaloes, 15-4 and 2
1, have won three straight Big Eight
championships and are predicted to
win the conference crown again this
season.
“I think they are both tough teams,”
Nebraska coach Angela Beck said.
“Any time you prepare for any Big
Eight road game, it’s a challenge.”
Beck said the difference between
the Huskers and their opponents this
weekend would be decided by the
team that showed the most maturity on
the court.
But Colorado coach Ceal Barry
said the Huskers should have the up
per hand in maturity, starting three
seniors in Pyra Aarden, Lis Brenden
and Kate Galligan. Those seniors give
the Huskers a lot of experience, Barry
said.
“They have beat through the Big
Eight wars, and they know what it
takes to win at this level,” Barry said.
“Definitely Pyra Aarden is having a
great year, and I think she’s tough to
stop. She’s a worker that constantly
pounds away and has gotten better
every year.”
Colorado, however, is able to
counter its experience with a
homecourt advantage unlike any other
place in the Big Eight, Beck said. Last
season, Colorado ranked eighth among
Di vi sion-I schools in home attendance.
Sunday’s game against Nebraska will
be televised in Denver.
“We have great fan support,” Barry
said. “We’re drawing fairly well and
we can get anywhere from 5,000 to
9,000 people a game.”
Although Missouri will not attract
a crowd like Colorado, Tiger coach
Joann Rutherford said Missouri was
using the eighth-place preseason pre
diction as motivation. So far, it has
worked, she said.
“We see the Big Eight Conference
as being very tough from top to bot
tom,” Rutherford said. “We believe
you have to win at home. We have to
play hard for 40 minutes and be able to
get up and down the floor.”
Duals

teams from all over the nation, espe
cially Midwest neighbor Iowa. The
top-ranked Hawkeyes and second
ranked Iowa State come in to the
Devaney Center as the teams to beat.
The Husker captains aren’t so sure.
“We’re going to be tough to beat,”
said senior 177-pound captain Erik
Josephson. “We got the firepower to
go with any team in the nation. As far
as duals go, we’re going to be tough to
beat.”
Heavyweight captain Tolly Thomp
son said he would prefer to start with a
feeding frenzy from 118-pounder Brad
Canoyer, who will lead off for Ne
braska Saturday.
“Everybody feedsofFBrad,so we’re
kind of feeding off each other like
animals,” Thompson said. “Wrestling
with emotion, and feeding off each
other is what it’s going to take to win
this tournament.”
Neumann said this is the best team
Nebraska had fielded since 1993, when
the Huskers upset then-No. 1 Iowa in
the National Dual semifinals. This
year’s team is younger, having only
three seniors. The 1993 team had eight
seniors.
Thompson, who was a freshman in
1993, said he saw this team as better.
“We’ve got some horses that can
go. We need everybody 100 percent,
and if that’s the case, we should be
OK,” Thompson said.
Fans from all over the country are
going to pack into Lincoln for this
meet.
“If you want to see the best wres
tling in the nation, this is it,” Neumann
said.
Ob U s size
advantage
disappears
By Trevor Parks
Senior Reporter
When Oklahoma State plays host
to Nebraska on Saturday night at
Gallagher-Iba Arena, the roles will be
reversed from last season.
The Cowboys, 10-4 overall and 0
2 in the Big Eight, will not have the
height advantage they have had when
7-foot, 290-pound center Bryant
Reeves dominated Nebraska for 57
points in three games a year ago.
Those points contributed to a 93
53 thrashing of the Comhuskers in
Stillwater, Okla., last season. Okla
homa State won the other two games
by 17 and 20 points.
But with Reeves in the NBA, the
Cowboys’ lack of size will be evident
against Nebraska.
“They dwarf us with our tallest
player being only 6-foot-8,” Oklahoma
State coach Eddie Sutton said. “We’re
the one that’s faced with playing with
interior role problems this year.”
Junior power forward Jerome Lam
bert has done well, but he is suffering
from tonsilitis and played only 10
minutes in Wednesday’s 91-58 win
over Cal State Northridge.
iNeorasKa nas naa improved piay
recently from 6-7 Bernard Gamer, 6
11 Mikki Moore and freshman Venson
Hamilton, who is 6-9. Nebraska has
six players who stand 6-7 or taller.
“(Jaron) Boone and (Erick)
Strickland have always been terrific
players, but the one thing that has
always hurt Nebraska was inconsis
tent play in the pivot area,” Sutton
said. “I think most of the problems
they had have gone away this year.”
No longer can Oklahoma State de
pend on guard Randy Rutherford or
Reeves in a key situation to pull the
Cowboys through. But the Huskers
have Boone and Strickland to step
forward in that situation.
Rutherford lit Nebraska up for 20
points in the Big Eight Tournament,
31 points in an 82-65 win in Lincoln
and22 points in the Huskers’ 40-point
loss last year. Besides Reeves and
Rutherford, wily five other Cowboys
scored in double figures against Ne
braska last season.
Sutton said playing Nebraska would
be one of his team’s toughest tests.
“Nebraska is a very good team be
cause they are deep and experienced,”
Sutton said. “Kansas is the best team
in the league, but Missouri, Nebraska
or Oklahoma are just behind them.
Any of those teams can beat Kansas at
home.”
Five Huskers
to show stuff
at Hula Bowl
From Staff Reports
Five former Nebraska foot
ball players will try to impress
NFL scouts at the Hula Bowl in
Honolulu on Sunday.
Quarterback Brook Berringer
and I-back Clinton Childs are
the two Comhuskers selected on
the offensive side.
Three former Blackshirts,
middle linebacker Phil Ellis,
safety Tony Veland and
cornerback Tyrone Williams
were selected to play defense.
Also, the Nebraska football
team will open its 1996 schedule
a week earlier than planned.
The Huskers will play Michi
gan State in Lincoln on Sept. 7
instead of Sept. 14. The 1996
schedule still isn’t firm, how
ever, since the Big 12 and televi
sion officialshave not settled on
the date for the Colorado-Ne
braska game.
The Colorado game will be
played on Friday, Nov. 29, or
Saturday, Nov. 30.
