thursday, february 16, 1978 page 2 daily nebraskan Arsenal has outlived its usefulness The building appears abandoned and somewhat misplaced. It contrasts sharply with the over powering whiteness of the Sports Com plex that sits directly behind it. But the old State Arsenal building did not always lead such a lifeless existence. The building, located west of the state fairgrounds entrance, was the Ne braska National Guard Quartermaster's building at the turn of the century. It was the guard's mobilization and train ing ground. Built in 1913 by Nebraska Legisla ture authorization, the arsenal once housed National Guard equipment. The location was convenient because it was near a Burlington Northern railroad switch. Quartermaster supplies were stored there until the decade following World War II. The supplies included uniforms, rifles and side arms for national defense. In following years it was used for the 43 rd Army Band headquarters, the U.S. Property and. Fiscal Office, Selec tive Service Office, and general storage. Erom 1964 to 1967 the building stood empty. Then, in 1967, state fair grounds officials bought the building for use by fairgrounds security guards. Fairgrounds officials estimated renovation would cost $1,500, but the final cost was about $2,500. Remod eling included providing living quarters for state fairgrounds security guards, replacing windows and cleaning. The historical site that once housed weapons for national defense now stores army cots, bedding, traffic cones and garbage containers. At present, the building's future seems dismal. The State Fair Board says the arsenal eventually will be torn down. mm 27th & Holdrege BEVERAGE & SALOON In The Saloon The Drink of Royalty BISHOP'S BREW Serve Yourself I and I SAVE I E I Mon.-Sat. 10 a.m. to 10 p.m I 1st Drink I Regular Price I 2nd Drink 1 cent I WltlQf: T A B L E "1i W k Icr el lahlucUl IT HO I s f f Wt h i uId eI ! int PRE tIeIMISIEII 1TK) T I rw lwpnlEPeiu I i 1 1 T 1 SM M r I !lD H J I E r r I oU i J M t 1 1 1 ,c U w 1 u It 1 eI jjBlllB - 1 i T i I I I I i I I I I i fl !

Continued from page 1 Despite a national crackdown on hazing by Sigma Chi as reported by Vie Magazine of Sigma Chi, the UNL house is reputed to be the worst on campus, according to a former member of Sigma Chi and pledge trainers from other fraternities. "It's more mental than anything else," a former Sigma Chi pledge who asked to not be identified said of the Sigma Chi Help Week. "They scare you pretty bad." For example, the three-story house contains a stairwell. Actives told pledges they would have to jump from the third floor through a rope and land on a mattress at the bottom, he said. Jay Matzke,. president of Phi Gamma Delta, said: "We try to promote unity, togetherness and accomplishment." Most of the Phi Gamma Delta Inspira tion Week is devoted to house improvement and upkeep, Matzke said. "If negative things happen, they're because other people think they're nega tive," he said. "Outside the Greek system, people can view just about anything as negative-snowball fights in the winter and water fights in the spring." A former member of Beta Theta Pi, who did not want to be named said he had been humiliated through insults, was given only five minutes to eat, was up from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m. the next day, had to run everywhere he went and wore i suit to class. "It was really bad when J was doing it, but when I thought about it later, It was a riot," he said. I wish I'd gone along with it instead of fighting it." Anderson said there was hazing at UNL about 12 years ago, but it was more fun and games. "Hazing here has virtually disappeared because of "an educative process which has transpired along with strong national rules," she said. The disappearance of hazing also could be considered a sign of the times, she said. "Students have a more positive atti tude now. There is also an increasing con cern for human dignity." Sororities are in a better situation than fraternities, she said, since their Inspira tion Weeks are more inspirational.-, The Kappa Delta Inspiration Week is called White Rose week, according to assis , tant pledge trainer Jane Eberstacher. Each day of the week signifies a jart of the Kappa Delta crest, such as friendship, humor and the day of the flame, she said. . .. t Vv: During Inspiration Week at Chi Omega, the actives try to show pledges what they have received from the house, said pledge trainer Marjorie Prucka.
