Responsibility for the rigging of card
section flashes and the card -tossing bedlam
that followed at last week's NU-University
of Oklahoma football game has not yet
been determined, said officers of the stu
dent organizations in charge of the card
section.
During the halftime show; flashes dif
ferent from the ones planned were dis
played in the card section. Apparently,
confused ticket holders sitting in the card
section began throwing their cards, result
ing in a free-for-all that lasted through half-'
time.
"SwiUer Super Spy," 1Screw Mizzou,"
and and ISU" were the three flashes dis
played by !hfecard section, according to
Lee Johnson. Johnson, president of Sigma
Phi EpsHon fraternity, which sits in the
card section, said he knew what the cards
were going to say before they were
flashed.

Johnson said he learned about it
through rumors. Everybody I talked to
seemed to know," he said, although he
could name no specific source of the
rumor.
No one can be assessed fines for the
spree because those in charge of the card
section are not sure who is responsible, of
ficials said.
Marcia Goeller, a member of the band
honorary, which shares responsibility for
the card section, designs the card shows
displayed during halftime. Goeller said she
was on the field with the band when she
noticed the incorrect flashes by the card
section.
Total yellow ,v .,
I boked up there (the card section)
and saw total yellow and I thought wait
a minute, I didn't make any yellow
flashes," she said. But 1 couldn't do much
else. I was just shocked."
Corncobs, student spirit organization,
assigns the proper color for each flash to
every seat in the card section, following
a master diagram drawn by Goeller.
Corncobs president Kerry Cooksley said
Corncobs members had color assignments
in place by 9 ajn. the day of the game.
When he arrived at 32:30 for the game,
Cooksley said, the white cards with the -flash
assignments were written in black
felt-tip marker- He said Corncobs members
use pencil when writing out the
assignments. - .
Whoever risced the incorrect flashes had
to be familiar with how the card section is
designed, Goeller said. She estimated that
about 1,200 cards are in the card section.
Johnson said the card throwing began
because some members of the card sec
tion were upset that Corncobs skspsd the

Swine flu booster shot urged
Once is not enough if you are between
IS and 24 years old and want full -vaccine
protection from swine fliu
The Center for Disease (.Vitrei fc
Atlanta, Ga, recommends that persons in
this age group should wait about 30 days
after their first inoculation and then re
ceive a booster, said Gary Martin, associate
director oFthe University Health Center.
Organizations whose members sit in the
card section must make a SI 00 deposit at
the beginning of the year. Gamma Lambda
films the halftime flashes and collects fines
from the deposit for incorrect flashes or
for not flashing.

Replacements for the approximately

according to a spokesman from UNL Print-.

3 pjn. at the East Campus Student
Activities Elds.
Dr. Paul Stoesz, director of the State
Health Dept."? division of disease control
predicted that students who only get one
shot have two or three times the chance of
catching swine flu as do students who take
the booster.
Stoesz said the booster vaccinations are
the "same as the first dose, only administ
ered a second time."
Only one shot does not provide the
necessary antibody level for persons 13
through 24 years id, Stoesz said. This was
, not known at the time of the first clinic, he
Stoesz recommended that students who
received one shot get the booster, and that
those who have not yet taken the shot do
so. The nncoln-Lancaster County Health
Dept. still is giving the first shot.

had wonderful shoes that he bought from New York for
high society people." .
She said she helped in the store part-time while going
to college. -
"I loved to meet people in the store and try and help
them," she said. "I took great pains to get things right in
the store and help my parents as much as 1 could," she
said proudly.
They insisted that I worked because we didn't have 1
much money, but we knew how to take care of it. We
only bought things that were useful."

The centenarian, who said she tries to walk around as
much as she can, became restless from sitting as she tried
to remember her day s at the university.
1 think I only attended one or two football games,"
Redford said. She laughed when she added, 1 don't think
they were so good then as they are now T
Although her parents paid for her college education,
she sai3 her mother ''didn't want me to be away at
school." She was an only child, and she added she karaed
much from her mother.
My mother was very smart and was a great reader, and
she used to read aloud to me," Redford said. '"She taught
me a great many thkp. She did some very beautiful
embroidery, too, and she taught me how to do 'A. I
wanted to do everything my mother did." -
