ZTA rush changed
Two unusual events marked this year's rush week, for
the first time in several years the weather cooperated, and
for the first time not all the sororities participated.
Zeta Tau Alpha decided to have a special rush to be
held Sept. 7, 8 and 9.
Susan Depue, president of ZTA, said 20 members of
the Missouri chapter will help during the special rush. She
said this rush will be on a more informal basis than usual
and should help everyone get better acquainted.
Jayne Anderson, coordinator of the Pan Hellenic Asso
ciation, said the Zetas were granted permission to have the
special rush.
"It's new to this campus, but we're very supportive of
the idea," she said.
Anderson said this year's rush results were about the
same as last year. About 620 women expressed an Interest
and 41 1 were pledged during rush week.
Fraternities pledged 515 men during the summer and
75 to 80 were accepted in the first weeks of school.
Anderson said the application forms she's seen give a
sense of a trend.
She said interest in women's athletics in Nebraska has
been growing and a greater number of female pledges have
been involved in athletics than in past years.

Groundkeepers guardians of campus
By Paula Bauer
Visualize a scene from last winter.
Below zero temperatures and 12-inchesof newly -fallen
snow greet you as you stumble out of the house and head
for class. Sidewalks, cars, houses and a good portion of
the street are blanketed in white. Your're looking forward
to a fun-filled day of slip-sliding around campus, but
arrive to find UNL's sidewalks and steps have been cleared
of their winter nuisances.
Elves, you think. It must have been elves that sneaked
in and cleaned it all up.
It really wasn't elves, but the guardians of campus
walks and lawns-the grounds department.
Carl Langenberg, a UNL groundskeeper for 13 years,
said he can remember many working "days' that started
at midnight and continued until the walks were clean.
"Back in the mid 60's, we put in 40 hours in two days
trying to clear up 22-inches of snow," he said. "That's
the worst I can remember. That's a lot of hours, but that
was a lot of snow."
Langenberg is from a farm background and said he
enjoys working outside.
Grounds work, he said, is "challenging by trying tq
make things look better."
Another groundskeeper said she liked to work outside
during the winter because it keeps her healthy.
4When you. work outside in the winter, it keeps you
going. You don't get colds because it keeps you stronger."
She said that working outside in the summer has
benefits, too. Her tanned arms and legs were proof of
one benefit. Sprinklers, she said, were another.
"When it gets too hot, you can run through the sprink
ler and cool off."
Does she every yearn for an "inside" job with air
conditioning and cushioned chairs? "Yes," she said,
"But I know it wouldn't last too long."
"There's more freedom of choice," she said. "Certain
things have to be done every week, but not every day."
She said she can choose what to do that day, provided
all the work is done by the end of the week.
Chris, a groundskeeper on the west side of campus, said
he takes pride in the way his section of campus looks.
He said he's been with the grounds department for
about three years because he likes to work outside.
"In fact, if I worked in an office, I'd probably do most
of my paper work out on the lawn, anyway ."

A painting depicting the history of Chicanos living in
Lincoln will be unveiled Friday night at the UNL Cultural
Center, 1012 N. 16th, according to a program consultant
for minority activities.
The Lincoln Hispanic Center's mural, "The Past, The
Present and the Future," will be shown during the UNL
Cultural Center's open house at 7 pjm according to con
sultant Ennio Quevedo.
The mural was painted in five sections by painters
ranging from children to an 85-year old woman, Quevedo
said.
It was completed during the summer, and was a year
long project by the Hispanic Center, he said.
Music will be provided by two singing groups. Students
Heidi Lynch, Lorraine Coleman and Wendi Triplett will
sing contemporary songs. Mexican ballads will be sung
by Quevedo, Beatrice Gonzalez George, Gloria Medina de
Reifenrath, Lupe Medina and Cristina Lovato.
Native American bread, prepared by Ann Keller, will
be served with other refreshments.
A hand -crafted pinata made by Maria Ramos will be
broken during open house festivities. Ramos will also
offer other pinatas for sale.
