How successful that rebuilding job has been I like SovaS jWHO HAV6 I HOW ABOUT cob Reynold anoVyoU WAD PALMER may well be the key to the Husker success this season and the first test could come Satur-f day afternoon. The Wake Forest backfield includes twof highly-touted junior college transfers, runnln back Ken Garrett from Northeastern Oklahoma the nation's No. 1 junior college team a yeai ago, and fullback Larry Hopkins, who gainc 178 yards in 18 carries in the Deacons' second! game-type scrimmage this fall.

A sophomore, Jim McMahon, considerec an excellent passer, has moved in to battk Larry Russell, last year's leading rusher for the Deacons, for the starting quarterback berth. By UAL BROWN Star Sports Editor Nebraska, a team with a great football tradition, opens its 80th football season on its new artificial turf at 1:30 Saturday afternoon against Wake Forest, a small Southern Baptist school more noted for its basketball teams and for being the alma mater of one of the nation's best-known millionaires than for its football prowess. The Demon Djeacons, Arnold Palmer's alma mater, haven't had a winning football season since 1959 when they were 64 while the Huskers haven't had a losing season since 1961, the year before coach Bob Devaney came from Wyoming to begin building Nebraska back into a national football power. The Huskers, ranked ninth nationally in The Associated Press' pre-season poll, have been made a 26-point favorite over the small school which has an enrollment of only 3,200 students and Deacon coach Cal Stoll has little argument with those odds. A 'Difficult Assignment' "This is a very difficult assignment because of our inexperience and lack of depth," he points out.

"I can't see any place where we'd have an advantage." But even with all the talk of a big advantage for his Cornhuskers, Devaney asserts that Wakfe Forest is not being taken lightly by his cast of gridders. "We can't take anyone lightly," he notes, "Because we haven't beaten anyone as yet." Coaches Capsules Nebraska's Bob Devaney "We're anxious to open the season. We've had a good, enthusiastic fall and I know the players want to start playing the schedule." Wake Forest's Cal Stoll "This is the toughest opener I've ever been faced with. It is a great challenge and good chance for our team to put themselves against an outstanding team." Despite Stoll's reference to inexperience that may not be a Deacon weakness since the visitors list only one sophomore, right end Chris Teague, on their starting defensive alignment. Seven of the Wake Forest defensive starters were regulars on last year's team that finished with a 3-7 mark while two others started some games for the Deacons.

But this experienced defensive group must try to stop what could be one of the best offensive teams in Nebraska's proud football history, an offense with explosiveness in the form of sophomore wingback Johnny Rodgers, power in Dan Schneiss, Jeff Kinney and Joe Orduna and passing ability in quarterbacks Jerry Tagge and Van Brownson. However, neither of the two top NU quarterbacks are expected to be at full strength with Tagge still slowed a bit by a pulled leg muscle and Brownson a very doubtful performer because of an infected elbow. A full house (so, what else is new:) 67.000-plus will witness the contest between thet Deacons, picked to finish last by Atlantic Coast Conference Skywriters, and the Huskers, a close second to Missouri, in voting by Big Eigh!

"Now we see the way in which we invest ought to be consistent with the way we run programs." he said. Some In Negro Firms Some money, he said, is being invested in savings and loan companies and black business enterprises." Christian stewardship, Moss told some 170 seminar participant's, implies that ''God owns everything and what we have we hold In trust for Him." "I suggest that the Christian who has heeded the call to faith sees himself in relation to material things as God's stewards," he said.

"Christians ought to realize, that the good things of Earth are to be used sparingly." Pioneer Programs Moss also said several of the church's commissions are engaged in "pioneer programs" in areas of racial justice and in establishing church clusters with other denominations in areas which cannot support a number of churches. He also noted that the UCC's Office of Communication was involved a few years ago in an effort which has led to the withholding by the Federal Communications Commission of a license for a television station in Jackson, Miss. He said the station had ignored the black community and news about blacks, although a significant number of Jackson's citizens are black.

Robert Moss of New York said the church's stewardship policies should extend past the administration of its funds. He said the denomination is Interested in employment policies of firms in which it invests, as well as other questions such as pollution and racial justice. A recent study undertaken at the highest level of the UCC showed that the church and its various bodies hold investments totaling nearly $250 million. Most In Annuities Most of that, he noted, is held in annuities by pension boards and by other boards and conferences in restricted investments. Only about $10 million is held in unrestricted investments, Moss said, and that is being used to meet commitments not met by regular donations.

"It is rapidly disappearing," he said. But Moss said that since the church has an obligation to hold most of the $250 million in investments, it also has an obligation to see that the firms permitted to leave the planes and go to Amman where 62 were freed Friday to leave that country.

In a special statement, Nixon said that "specially trained, armed United States government personnel" will begin flying the airlines Saturday.

Surveillance Urged At the same time, air carriers will be urged to make wider use of electronic gear and surveillance techniques designed to keep potential air pirates off scheduled flights. Initially the force of about 4,000 sky marshals will be recruited mainly from various federal police agencies, notably those of the Treasury Department, and supplemented by military policemen, shore patrolmen and air police, until a permanent of civilian guards can be recruited and trained. Nixon, whose statement wa3 applauded in advance by both Republican and Democratic leaders of Congress, said: ''Piracy is not a new challenge for the community of nations. Most countries, including the United States, found effective means of dealing with piracy on the high seas a century and a half ago. We can and we will deal effectively with piracy in the skies today." Detection Equipment The airlines' share of financing the new effort-spurred by dramatic jetliner takeovers by Palestinian guerrillas will involve purchase of electronic instruments designed to detect weapons or explosives as they are carried through boarding gates in passengers clothing or luggage.

The air carriers also will hire the people to operate this equipment, and they will provide seats for the government guards. The federal government will finance the guard force, as well as pay the salaries of U.S. marshals and customs officials empowered to arrest suspected hijackers. Increased Taxes The government hopes to recoup the outlays by increasing taxes levied against passengers. Nixon will soon ask Congress for what was described as "a very small increase" in the 8Co excise tax in tickets for domestic flights.

He will also seek with apparent bipartisan support an increase in the $3 "head tax" now imposed on passengers taking overseas flights. The ultimate objective is to establish a force of civilians who would be employes of the Federal Aviation Administration.

Notes Released The guerrillas, in a move that one acknowledged was an effort to bring pressure on world opinion, released notes Friday scribbled by some of the hijack victims still held on the planes. One message, signed by a steward of the British jetliner, said, "The plane is already loaded with explosives. In God's name release the Palestinians. You are our only hope." Another note from a stewardess, said, "Please don't play games with our lives," and a flight engineer wrote, "These are desperate men.

He negotiated Friday's transfer of 23 persons, including two Americans, from the desert to Amman. Other hostages said the 21 non-Americans were taken from the British plane Thursday and spent the night in Zerqa, a town 15 miles northeast of Amman. By The Associated Press Arab guerrillas sent 62 hijack victims to Cyprus and freedom Friday and moved 23 other hostage air travelers from desert captivity to' hotels in Amman. The fate of more than 240 remaining hostages, held under armed guard aboard three jetliners, was uncertain early Saturday. In Beirut, Lebanon, the guerrillas' central committee reported that buses left Amman late Friday for the jetliners, parked at a military airstrip 25 miles away, to pick up the hostages.

No Word From Scene But there was no word from the scene that the operation of transferring the hostages from the planes to the buses had started. Nor was there information on developments In a key issue of the drama the guerrillas' demand for freedom for Arab commandos jailed abroad. The guerrillas want the release of seven guerrillas jailed in Britain, Switzerland and West Germany and the repatriation of all guerrilla prisoners in Israel, in exchange for the hostages. Israel has refused to negotiate and other governments have demanded the freedom of all the hijack victims, including Israeli nationals. Explosion Threatened The commandos have threatened to blow up the planes if their demands are not met by 9 p.m.

Lincoln Man's Death Not On Traffic Toll Tom Ryan, Director of the State Accident Records Bureau, said Friday he doubted whether the death of an 82-year-old man in Lincoln Thursday would be counted as a traffic death. Sherman Smith was pronounced dead on arrival at a Lincoln hospital after the car he was driving struck a tree near 11th and A. The accident occurred on a section of street temporarily closed for resurfacing. Ryan said, "At this point, we're not counting it and I doubt if we will." He explained that "based on what I've been able to find out so far, the street was officially closed when the death occurred so we're not counting it as a traffic statisic." Ryan said the death probably would be listed as "motor vehicle non-traffic." Husker Fans Special Football Lunch $1, Husker Red Sundae, 35c. The Ice Cream Emporium, 17th Van Dorn.

-Adv. By MILAN WALL Star Staff Writer Twenty-four senior students at Lincoln's East High School are endeavoring to build Greek tradition at the school by promoting activities related to classic culture. Headed by 17-year-old Paul Burner, the 12 boys and 12 girls who are members of the Panathenaic Council began the academic year by presenting the school with a sculpture of Hebe, the Greek Goddess of youth. The sculpture will eventually be placed in the enclosed courtyard at East. Funds for purchase of the two-piece work were raised last year from student organizations at the school.

The Panathenaic Council was begun three years ago by a group of students and Mrs. June Williams, a social studies teacher with a great interest in Greco-Roman history. Something For Pride The council "has really built up a lot of spirit in the school," Council President Burner said. "Now we've got something to be proud of." The interest in building a Greek tradition at East was sparked by the nickname picked for the school Spartans. To carry on Oat tradition, the council plans a "Panathenaic Week" in the spring.

The wefck will be highlighted by Olympic games, which, Burner said, "will put a twist on Greek competition." Now, however, the council hopes to expand its activities to include other efforts at improving the school. "This year, we are striving to become more active in school affairs," Burner said. To Offer Help He said council members plan to offer their aid to the school's student council and administration to help "in any way we can."
