NFL future uncertain for Peter
py wine i\iuct\
Senior Reporter
Christian Peter has no ill feelings
toward the New England Patriots a day
after the club released its rights to him.
“They released me,” Peter said
from his parent’s home in Locust, N.J.
“Now I go on from here. Somebody
else will get a great player now.”
On Sunday, the Patriots selected the
former Nebraska defensive lineman in
the fifth round of the National Foot
ball League draft. But on Wednesday,
citing unacceptable off-field behavior,
the Patriots waived their rights to Pe
ter, giving him the opportunity to be
picked up by another NFL team.
Recently Peter was convicted of
disturbing the peace in an incident in
Kearney, while another woman claims
in a sex discrimination suit that Peter
raped her in 1991.
In 1994, Peter pleaded guilty to the
third-degree assault of Natalie
Kuijvenhoven, a former Miss Ne
braska, and served 18 months proba
tion.
Patriots director of player person
“To know me is to love me. Of course, if you
believe everything you read, you come out hating
me”
CHRISTIAN PETER
former Nebraska defensive tackle
nel Bobby Grier said the action was
taken following a review of informa
tion the team had obtained after the
draft.
“Based on information wc obtained
in the last 48 hours following a review
of his past actions,” Grier said, “we
concluded this behavior is incompat
ible with our organization’s standards
of acceptable conduct.”
Peter said he had trouble accept
ing the Patriots’ decision because be
fore the draft he met with coaches and
administrators. At that time, he said,
he discussed all of his former prob
lems.
“For them to come out and say they
have found out new information, I find
it hard to believe,” Peter said. “I have
no bitter feelings toward their coach
ing staff, and I have been a long-time
fan of (New England) Coach (Bill)
Parcells.
“I know, it wasn’t the coaches who
made the decision. It had to come
higher up.”
“The first call I received after the
draft was from a woman with the Pa
triots, who said, 'This was a match
between Parcells and myself made in
heaven,”’ Peter said. “She said she was
looking forward to watching the two
of us work together since we’re both
from New Jersey.”
oornnusker coach lom Osborne
said there was nobody at Nebraska
that hid any information'from the Pa
triots.
“I think the owner reacted to pub
licity,” Osborne said. “The NOW (Na
tional Organization for Women) and
all those people. We’ve been through
it.”
Osborne said Peter had stayed
away from alcohol for three years be
cause of a program started for him by
Osborne.
“I said, 'Any more problems,
you’re done,”’ Osborne said. “He fol
lowed through great for three years
and never had a problem.”
Peter is now on waivers for 10 days,
a period of time in which any team
can sign him to a contract.
- “My life doesn’t stop,” Peter said.
“I just wish that teams or people would
sit down and talk to me.
“I’m not the Christian Peter they
read about or watch on TV. To know
me is to love me. Of course, if you
believe everything you read, you come
out hating me.”
NU golfers
prepare for
regionals
By Antone Oseka

For the members of the Nebraska
women’s golf team, the pressure is
almost off.
The Cornhuskers have attained
their goal of making the NCAA Mid
west Regional for the third straight
year, although the official selection
won’t be made until Monday.
Coach Robin Krapfl said she was
confident the Huskers would get a bid
for the tournament at The Champions
Club in Omaha, May 9-11.
“The pressure’s off,” Krapfl said,
“now we can just play golf.”
Nebraska finished in a tie for third
place with Oklahoma at the final Big
Eight Tournament, Monday and Tues
day in Des Moines, Iowa. The Husk
ers shot a final-round 305 behind the
play of sophomore Rachel leTacha and
senior Heidi Stark.
Tacha, from Manhattan, Kan., won
the meet and became Nebraska’s first
individual conference champion,
shooting a final-round 73 on Tuesday.
Stark’s 74 on Tuesday was Nebraska’s
second-lowest round of the tourna
ment.
“It feels good,” Tacha said. “I didn’t
know we’ve never had an individual
champion before.”
Neither did the rest of the Husk
ers, Tacha said. Krapfl didn’t tell them
until after Tacha’s score had been con
firmed and she was named the cham
pion.

Nebraska sophomore golfer Rachelle Tacha shot a tournament-low round of 73 Tuesday in Des
Moines, Iowa, to claim Nebraska’s first individual conference title.
“She played fantastic golf,” Krapfl
said. “This shows how much she’s
matured as a player.”
Tacha’s maturity was tested by the
conditions she played in Monday. She
scored a 76 and 78 during the first two
rourids despite weather conditions that
she called horrendous.
“Tuesday wasn’t windy or cold,”
Tacha said. “I was fine, and it was
great playing conditions.”
Tacha dedicated her victory to
former Nebraska quarterback Brook
Berringer, a fellow Kansan, who died
last week in a plane crash.
“I really didn’t know him that
well,” she said. “But I figured if I was
going to win it, I’d dedicate it to him.”
After Monday, Tacha was tied for
the lead with JoJo Robertson of Okla
homa State, who finished second, five
strokes behind Tacha.
After final exams next week, Tacha
and the Huskers will concentrate ex
clusively on the regional tournament
in Omaha.
“The length is no problem,” Tacha
said of the 6,200-yard Champions
Club. “We’re all long hitters. Chipping
and putting will win the tournament.”
The Huskers will concentrate on
those two areas in the next two weeks.
And by regionals, Tacha said, the
Huskers will be well-prepared.
“We will be ready,” she said.
South Division to mle new Big 12
By David Wilson
Staff Reporter
The formation of the Big 12 Con
ference in August will produce a
highly competitive league in nearly all
of its 18 sports. Baseball is no excep
tion.
The new conference will join the
seven baseball-playing teams in the
Big Eight with four teams from the
Southwest Conference (Texas, Texas
Tech, Texas A&M, and Baylor).
“I think it’ll be outstanding.” Texas
A&M baseball coach Mark Johnson
said. “It will be one of the top base
ball conferences in the country. I don’t
think anybody would argue that
point.”
The four SWC teams, who all have
winning records this season, will join
Oklahoma State and Oklahoma to
form the South Division of the Big 12.
The remaining five Big Eight teams
will make up the North Division.
The teams forming the South Di
vision, three of which are ranked na
tionally, have combined for 58 appear
ances in Omaha since the College
World Series began in 1947. The
teams of the North Division have only
appeared in nine—and just once since
1970.
Oklahoma and Oklahoma State
alone have made 17 CWS over the past
25 years. Only Iowa State, Nebraska
and Texas Tech — which is ranked
14th in the latest polls — have never
made CWS appearances.
No. 21 Missouri is the only North
Division team currently ranked.
“I thinkall of the northern coaches
want to stick it to the teams in the south
for a lot of different reasons,” Missouri
coach Tim Jamieson said. “I think
Wichita State and us are the only two
teams north of the Mason-Dixon
ranked in the top 25. That has to
change. Push die season back or what
ever. That has to change. It’s just not a
fair game the way it is right now.”
Jamieson and Johnson said there
was a chance the season would get
pushed back to begin in March and
last through June to help eliminate
cold-weather game cancellations in
the north.
But the four southern teams join
ing the Big 12 conference don’t want
the season starting any later.
“We’ve seen a lot of that in the Big
12,” Jamieson said. “They don’t want
to give up any of their advantages what
so ever. That’s what causes problems.”
Johnson said he thought the warm
weather gave teams in the south a
slight advantage.
“If I was young, I would go south
and play baseball,” Johnson said.
“There is no comparison. There is an
advantage playing in the south with
out question. But there are just as
many good players in the north.”
After a two-game scries with the
Comhuskers April 2-3, Oklahoma
coach Larry Cochell said he didn’t^
think the traditionally less powerful
teams in the Big Eight, including Ne
braska and Missouri, would be able
to compete with the southern teams.
Cochell said the Sooners, a tradi
tional Big Eight power who won the
national title two years ago* would also
have a hard time competing in the new
conference.
The Big 12 schedule has not been
set yet, Johnson said. Big 12 commis
sioner Steve Hatched, who spoke
highly of the league’s baseball poten
tial while in Lincoln two weeks ago.
