‘skin to win’ [jikini Contests make the scene Hey ladies, are you READY FOR THE MEN? ' “AAAAAAAA H H H H H H H Hr And the fight for the closest viewing spot began. The summer of '85 marked a new trend in the nightlife of Kearney. Thus summer, Faces and Backlot nightclubs began publicizing male and female ama- teur bikini contests. These contests have become more popular than even the club owners probably imagined. Contests were held once a week at both nightclubs and the winners of these compet- ed this past September for the first place spot and a cash prize of $750 at Faces and S250 at BackJot. “Skin to Win” was the theme of the Faces finals competition, according to Randy Sliva, the disc jockey at Faces nightclub. The crowd was keyed up for the contest to begin. The tables were filled and people were scrambling for a place to watch near the dance floor, whether it was sitting on the edge of the floor or fighting for a place to stand. Cocktail waitresses raced around in swimsuit tops and shorts trying desperately to refill orders as fast as people emptied their glasses. Flashing lights, loud music and chattering people set the mood; the packed dance floor set the scene. Just as the crowd was at its peak of dancing and having fun, the lights came up and the dance floor was cleared for the contest to begin. “Mump! by Van Halen accompanied the final five male contestants as they strutted to the dance floor. Screams and cheers roared from the crowd, along with a few whistles and much applause. Terry Knaub, Scott Fisher, Tim Lentz, Tim Buektell and Tim Karn were the five 20 contenders for the big cash prize. Each wore costumes ranging from tuxedos to shorts and suspenders. Karn won both competitions, the $750 prize at Faces and S250 at Backlot. He started out dressed in a white top hat, bow tie, cumberbund and a topcoat with tails. His act included throwing roses to the crowd. I definitely needed the extras because the other contestants were superior to me in their bodies and looks,'’ Karn said. The senior from Stapleton, said he didn't increase workouts for the contests, but Karn played a lot of golf to acquire a suntan. “My main reason in entering the contest was to have fun, but you worry a lot about how you’ll be accepted, he said, “As long as the crowd has fun. so do I.” Karn feds the bikini contests arc a definite form of entertainment. People pay to get in and they expect to see a show. 1 want to give that to them,” Karn said. The crowd excitement really motivates him to perform, Karn said. When asked if Karn would enter any more bikini contests, he replied. This is it! Another Faces contestant, Tim Buck- tcll, said he felt “it was a good contest and Karn deserved to win.” Buektell is a body builder, so his preparation was mainly to watch what he ate and keep up his dark tan. Buektell admitted he was nervous before the contest. “1 thought, 'I'll be glad when this is over,’ he said. Buektell appeared in a headband, briefs and a T-shirt that said Great Tan.” He added a bit of breakdance to his performance which brought screams and by Krisanne Peterson applause from the crowd. After the winner was crowned, the contestants left the floor and the crowd began dancing and socializing again. The 45-minute wait for the female division of the bikini contest was well worth the wait, judging by the cheers of approval from the male spectators. When the announcement came that the dance floor was to be cleared, the crowd around the dance floor quickly thickened. “Everybody stand back and let the ladies through!” the disc jockey yelled. A path was made and the women made their individual appearances. Deb Richter, Amy Cross, Angie Johnson and Kim Dunken were (he four contestants ready to give the crowd a thrill. Angie Johnson, the winner of the $750 first place prize, appeared in a white beach cover-up. The crowd went wild when she revealed her crocheted light blue and white bikini. Whoops and wolf whistles could be heard above the screams and applause. Another contestant, Deb Richter, brought a lot of applause and whistles as well. I entered the competition because 1 like to compete and I got a lot of enjoyment from it, said Richter. Richter said she had no problem entering the contest. In her physical prepa- ration, she suntanned, dieted and went to a tanning salon. For her mental prepara- tion. she said she had to tell herself she was the best. If the popularity of these contests continue into this summer, they will no longer be a trend; they will be a regular part of the Kearney nightclub scene.

■ I 1 Thinking back to their sons’ high school days, the coaches agreed that the senior year of each boy was when talk turned to playing for the Lopers. Jerry Hueser knows that growing up around the program helped Joel decide. “He had some other possibilites, but this was a level he felt he could play at. I think he definitely knew he wouldn’t have wanted to play against Kearney.” As it is, both coaches have contributed something to their respective programs that was not expected of them, but should be enjoyed by KSC fans for the next couple of years. Coach Jerry Hueser watches his son JoeI during shooting practice. Joel joined Craig Boroff in the role of “coach's son. The sons’ view ... Craig Boroff, a backup center on the Kearney State football team, joins Joel Hueser, a player on the KSC basketball team, in the role of “coach’s son.” Both players’ fathers are head coaches of their respective sports. “I guess 1 looked at it as a privilege for dad to talk to me about playing at Kearney State,” Craig said. “I’ve been around Kearney State basketball all my life,” Joel said, “so I knew I’d be happy playing here because it's such a good program.” Joel also commented on playing under his own father on the college level. “1 think I grew up looking at dad as a coach, only now,” Joel added with a grin, “instead of giving me advice, he can yell at me.” Craig added a slightly different view. “1 probably argued with dad at the first, just because he was my dad, and I should have been looking at him as a coach. “We don’t talk a lot of football at home,” Craig added. “And when I’m in his office, it’s about half and half.” The locker room though, among the other players, is where one might expect the sons to take some razzing, but both Joel and Craig agree that it's just the opposite. “That’s probably the easiest part,” Joel said. “With the team, there is no problem.” “When the team is having some fun talking about my dad,” Craig smiled, “I can get right in there and they don't look at me as the coach's son.” Both players agree the future looks good for athletics at KSC. Craig agrees with his dad that he needs a little more size. Joel, after being an integral part of the team as a freshman, is looking forward to bigger and better things. “My scoring last year wasn’t as good as I thought it would be,” Joel said, “But then the team really didn’t need me to score.'’ In the near future though, both Joel and Craig are sure to play important roles in Kearney State’s two major sports. 19
