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.

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.

During Inspiration Week at Chi Omega,
the actives try to show pledges what they
have received from the house, said
pledge trainer Marjorie Prucka.
