From staff and wire reports
Cal Bentz has seen the fire in Penny
Heyns’ eyes.
The University

has seen Heyns,
L now a double
m gold medal winner,
p work and train
Hi ^ar^
» So for Heyns to
11 go and win two
f golds in Atlanta, it
1 comes as no sur
yuat iu duiu..
“She has the abil
ity to focus on what
she wants to ac
complish,” Bentz said from his car on
the way to Sterling, Colo. ‘Tremen
dous worker, no doubt about it.”
Heyns, theNU swimmer competing
for the South African swim team, took
two gold medals in Atlanta this week.
She first struck gold in the 100 meter
breaststroke, then took gold in the 200
meter breaststroke.
Heyns came to Nebraska in January
after competing in the Barcelona games
in 1992. Bentz said she was then one of
the top 40 athletes in her event in the
world.
Now she stands on top.
Bentz said there were three things
that kept her in the top class of ath
letes:
“Her ability to work. Her ability to
focus and her ability to see that what
needed to get done got done.”
In Atlanta, Heyns beat out 14-year
old American phenom Amanda Beard
in both medal races. In the 200, Heyns
was only .34 seconds ahead.
“I don’t mind that much,” Beard
said with a smile at a ppst-race news

Penny Heyns, an NU swimmer competing for the South African
Olympic team, won two gold medals in Atlanta this week. She won
the 100 and 200-meter breaststroke.
conference in Atlanta. “I just came
here to race and I wanted a medal real
bad. Silver’s a perfect medal for me. I
don’t really care what color it is.”
Heyns had equally congratulatory
comments for Beard.
“I think Amanda’s a terrific girl and
I think she’s swimming brilliantly,”
Heyns said in Atlanta.
She said she would like for the two
of them “to go out and party after
this.”
Ice Cream
Continued from Page 5
that has complicated matters more is
the topping.
Toppings seem to be the emphasis
in yogurt stores, with both TCB Y and
I Can’t Believe It’s Yogurt serving 24
of them.
According to Jill Johnson, super
visor at TCB Y, 6450 O St., sprinkles,
gummi bears and nerds are the most
popular for children.
Crelyne Warner, general manager
of I Can’t Believe It’s Yogurt, 70th
and Van Dorn Streets, agreed, adding
that adults go for more of the candy,
such as Heath Bar and Snickers, and
fruit toppings.
Not that adults always opt for the
healthier route.
AtMaggie Moo’s, 1601Q St., “top
pings” are referred to as “mixins,”
with 33 being offered.
“There is something for everyone,”
said Christen Cate, the manager.
Here the adult favorite is the
“mixed-up Maggie Moo,” which is
hard-packed ice cream hand-mixed
with one or more choice toppings.
“There are hundreds of possibili
ties,” she said, “which could really get
pretty dangerous calorie-wise.”
For the calorie conscious, here are
the facts:
• Traditional ice cream, according
to the “Great American Ice Cream
Book” by Paul Dickson, is a blend of
sugar, flavoring, sometimes eggs, fed
erally approved additives and air. For
a 1/2 cup serving of vanilla ice cream,
there are 130 calories and seven grams
of fat.
• Frozen yogurt contains
culturized, pasteurized, skim milk
among other additives and preserva
tives. For a 8.7 fluid ounce serving,
which is a regular size at TCBY or I
Can’t Believe It’s Yogurt, there are
261 calories and a little more than six
grams of fat for the original variety.
The nonfat and nonfat with artificial
sweetener varieties contain 195.75
calories for the same size.
The decision makingprocess doesn’t
get any easier when one finally makes a
choice between yogurt and ice cream.
How it is served remains.
There is a lot more to it than just the
traditional cone or dish.
To name a few, there are shakes,
malts, sundaes, freezes, floats, banana
splits and so on.
Just an ice cream cone?W ell,
there’s regular, sugar, or waffle cones
in most stores. Maggie Moo’s serves
seven different types of waffle cones,
with each dipped into a different fla
vor. The one dipped in sprinkles is the
feature flavor this month, and is popu
lar with kids, according to Cate.
So the competition becomes not
ice cream vs. yogurt, but instead vari
ety vs. variety.
To make it even more difficult, all
merchants listed said that anything
can be made with ice cream that is
made with yogurt, and vice versa.
Only Maggie Moo’s mixins are
limited because the ice cream is firm
enough to hold the fruit, nuts or candy
mashed into it, while the yogurt is too
soft.
Not that the difference causes too
many restraints.
Tammy Moore is a regular at ice
cream shops, and has shaped her own
philosophy toward the choice di
lemma.
“I just try something new everytime
I come in, “ she said.
To make matters even worse, if
one can’t choose between ice cream
or yogurt, cone or cup, there is an
alternative.
Snowflakes, 107 N. 27th St. offers
their specialty — snowcones. And
there are 87 different flavors, ranging
from peanut butter to strawberry
cheesecake.
Try that one for the indecisive.
