The UNL Student Watch Group has
received the March Community Ser
vice Award given by KFOR radio and
the Lincoln Telephone Co., the presi
dent of Student Watch said.
Troy Lair, at a Thursday press con
ference, said the one-year-old group
is "very proud" to receive the award.
KFOR will present a plaque to the
group in about two weeks, he said.
Although the group is supported
mainly by the UNL Police Department,
Lair said, it also receives encourage
ment from the Lincoln community.
When Student Watch was formed,
the Cooper Foundation donated $1,000
to help the group get started, Lair said.
Besides the monetary support, Lair
said new equipment recently was donat
ed so the group could stop renting its
equipment from the Nebraska Educa
tional Telecommunications Center.
Two citizens' band walkie-talkies, a
CD base and a high performance anten
na were donated to the group last
month by two Lincoln residents, Lair
said.
Community support "really helps our
group spirit," Lair said.
During this school year, Lair said,
the group's membership has declined
from 80 members at the beginning of
the fall semester to about 40 members
now. He said many former members
dropped out because of graduation or
other time commitments. Lair said he
expects 100 new volunteers next fall.
Presently, the group has enough mem
bers to send out three two-hour shifts
of one male and one female Sunday
through Thursday from 6 p.m. to mid
night. No patrols are sent out on Fri
day and Saturday nights because in
creased campus activity deters sexual
assaults, Lair said. Each two-person
group patrols once each week, he said.
UNL'stiidents will dance
at Iowa St. to .'fight MD
By Jcr.n Korinel:
Two UNL students literally will dance
around the clock this weekend at an
Iowa dance marathon.
Larry Bouza, a senior in physical
education science, and Gordon Hitch
cock, a sophomore music education
major, will participate in a 30-hour
dance marathon at Iowa State Univer
sity in Ames to benefit the Muscular
Dystrophy Association.
Bouza danced in his first marathon
three years ago when he attended
Iowa State, he said. Although he trans
ferred to UNL last year, he is returning
for the marathon.
In contrast, Hitchcock said he is new
to dance marathons, but said he has
participated in many walk-a-thons and
bike-a-thons so he knows what to ex
pect. But why would two people drive all
the way to another statejust to dance?
In addition to loving dancing, the men
said the marathon raises money for a
good cause, and Bouza called it the
"good Christian thing to do."
Marathon dancing requires some
training, Bouza said. Both have been
running stairs in preparation. Bouza
also swims, while Hitchcock stretches
"and jumps rope.
In addition, Bouza and Hitchcock
have taught each other different dan
ces. Bouza said he taught Hitchcock
how to break dance. In return, Hitch
cock said, he taught Bouza the country
swing.
Bouza said he thinks they are the
only Nebraskans participating, so they
want to show that Nebraskans are
good dancers.
Twenty-minute breaks are interspers
ed throughout the 30-hour ordeal,
which takes place from 6 p.m. Friday
until midnight Saturday, Bouza said.
The low point occurs between 4 p.m.
and 6 p.m. Saturday, he said.
"If you don't think about it, you can
do it," Hitchcock said. The mind over
powers the body, he said, and 99 per
cent of the dancers do finish.
The marathon winners will be deter
mined by finishing the 30-hour dance
and by the amount of pledges and.;
donations collected prior to the event.
Miller, Inc. has donated $1,000 in scho
larships to divide among the top two
couples.
Spring break prevented them from
collecting donations and pledges, Bouza
said. They plan to ask for pledges from
peop!e on campus and from Lincoln
residents. Bouza said they would each
like to raise between $100 and $200.
The average pledge is $3, he said.

In the Weekend column (Thursday,

Devaney Sports Center. The show is set
to begin at 8 p.m. The Daily Nebraskan
regrets the error.
