Roller coaster's
history displayed
From now until the end of October, an exhibition
showing the roller coaster and its development is in the
Architecture Building Gallery.
The display consists of 61 panels, 30 by 40 inches,
containing photographs and texts describing the progress
of the roller coaster from early Russian ice slides to
the high-speed coasters of today. -
The program was provided by the Smithsonian Insti
tution Traveling Exhibition Service which circulates it
around the country. It is sponsored locally by the College
of Architecture which funded the program's rental
through its department gallery exhibition and speaker
committee.

The committee also provides the Wednesday after
noon Aims. They plan to present other exhibitions similar
to the coaster display in the future.
Although the coaster exhibition was provided by an
outside source, the committee also plans to provide the
future displays on its own.
"The rest will be generated by ourselves," said Holmes.
The gallery, on the main floor of the Architecture
building, is open to the public during building hours
free of charge.
Magazine gives writers opportunity
By Bonnie Lutz
Entertainment reporter
If you have been struck with recurring pangs of crea
tivity, and find yourself writing out elaborate works in the
forms of essays, poetry, reviews, interviews or artwork,
there is a place to publich these jewels.
Alicom, the UNL undergraduate literary magazine, is
accepting works from students, alumni and friends of
UNL until March. All manuscripts should be sent to room
142 Andrews Hall, with a self-addressed, stamped envelop.
This is the third year fox Alicom, named after the horn
on the unicorn, a fictional beast.
Robert Stock, professor of English, serves as staff ad
visor. Stock said mat interested students have not been
limited to English majors, and each year from eight to
12 students show an interest to work on the magazine
after memos are sent to English classes.
This year, there are 9 students, ranging from freshmen
to graduate students who read all of the manuscripts
brought in, critique them, and select those to appear in
the magazine.
John Ortmann, senior, is business manager and has
been with Alicom since it's beginning.
"Originally, my interest was in creative writing, I saw
this as a way to use my skills," he said.
Judging past years, Ortmann said "Student interest has
been good. We've gotten an adequate amount of sub
missions. However, quality hasn't been that good,"
Pete Mason, who has been lay-out editor for two years,
as well as reading fiction for the magazine since it's start,
said student input is low.
"We're not getting manuscripts we should be getting
from this size of school," he said,
Alicia Blumer, a freshman, who is planning to major
in English, said she thinks Alicom has a place at UNL.
"It offers an outlet for student's creative abilities, It's
a fun thing. It's great to see your name in print," she said.
Yet Alicom is not the first attempt at providing an out
let for unprofessionals to publish their works at UNL. In
the sixties, Script was Alicom s predecessor.
"Several literary magazines have been published in the
last decade," Stock said. "Script died from apathy."
