"I'm probably going to get soundly beat 30 times, but it doesn't matter," Alloway said. The research for cancer is of particular interest to me. The idea to raise money in a cribbage tournament surfaced when Lucy Hermann, marketing director of the Centrum and Atrium shopping centers, became curious about a future $1 million cribbage tournament in Lincoln July 4, 1985. The sponsors of the event, the Lincoln cribbage league, said the winner will become "independently wealthy" at the end of the tournament, Hermann said. Saturday's tournament will have "learners' tables" set up to teach people how the game is played. Bob Parker, philanthropy chairman for Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, said he had never heard of cribbage until Hermann mentioned the tournament. "It's an intriguing form of fund raising," Alloway said. ASUN book sale begins next week in Union The first phase of ASUN's biannual book exchange begins again next week. Students who have books to sell may bring them to the ASUN office, 1 1 5 Nebraska Union, May 7-1 1 , 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ASUN second vice-president Paul Edens, coordi nator of the book exchange, said students can set their own prices for their books. The book exchange cuts out the middleman, Edens said, allowing stu dents to get more for their books and to buy them for less. ASUN gets five percent commission on sales to cover costs, he said. Students may be disappointed by not getting money for their books right away, Edens said. But he sees the exchange as a way to circumvent the "dis appointing manipulative influence that the book stores' have." "I'm tired of getting the shaft (from bookstores' buy-back system)," he said. Students may buy books during the first week of classes next semester beginning Aug. 27. Edens said that running the exchange in the Nebraska Union Cellar may not draw as much traf fic as iynight elsewhere in the building. He plans to explore the possibility of having the book exchange on the first floor of the Union, in the Main Lounge or in the Harvest Room. v Police Report - - .

The violence occurred after masses were said at churches around the country which underground Solidarity leaders had asked sup porters of the banned free trade union to attend in a show of support for political prisoners. It was the second time in three days that Poles had demonstrated against the regime and in support of Solidarity.

The government said today that the Red Cross would not be allowed to visit 472 other people held on political charges in Polish jails. The figures on the May Day arrests were announced as Prime Minister Wojciech Jaruzelski was summoned to Moscow for a meeting today with Soviet leader Konstantin Chernenko, who was expected to express his displeasure with Warsaw's tolerance of public dissent. Philadelphia city center burns PHILADELPHIA A major fire raged out of control in Philadelphia's city center Thursday, engulfing the area in heavy smoke and forcing the evacuation of thousands of people from the two biggest shopping malls in the city. Cinders from several burning buildings flew through the streets, causing four parked cars to explode, police said. The fire started early Thursday afternoon in the Harrison Building, a 10-story office block being rebuilt. The blaze quickly spread to adjacent build ings, including Galleries One and Two, two giant covered shopping malls that had to be evacuated. Smoke from the burning buildings could be seen miles away. One fireman was injured fighting the blaze. There were no reports of civilian casualties. The area is five blocks from the city's historic district, housing the liberty bell and Constitution HalL Fire officials said the blaze was the worst in the city center in living memory. Gallup projects executive tie WASHINGTON A Democratic ticket pair ing Walter Mondale and Gary Hart would run dead even against Ronald Reagan and George Bush if the presidential elections were held now, according to a Gallup poll published Thursday. Both tickets would draw 49 percent of the vote, according to the survey. The poll also showed Reagan defeating either Demo cratic candidate in a head-to-head matchup. Reagan would defeat Mondale 52-44 percent and Hart 49-46 percent. Gallup called this a statistical tie because of the margin for error in the survey. Explosions reel: Paris cafe PARIS Explosions rocked a cafe and a nearby Armenian monument in a Paris suburb Thursday, wounding at least 13 people, police said. At least two of the victims suffered severe facial burns, they said. A witness said the cafe in Alfortville, southeast of the capital, was almost totally destroyed.
