Administrators react
to Mockler's donation
Two UNL administrators
commented on ASUN stu
dent Regent Rick Mockler's
donation of Orange Bowl
expense money for the UNL
band.
At a Wednesday press
conference, Mockler donat
ed part of liis food, travel
and hotel expense money to
the UNL band to help with
the band's travel costs to
the Orange Bowl. Mockler's
donation consisted of a
$460 check and hotel ex
pense savings of $366, leav
ing Mockler with $424 left
for the Miami 1rip.
Vice Chancellor of Stu
dent Affairs John Strong
said he is tentatively going
to Miami.
"I think as the reaction
has generally gone, it was a
very generous act on his
part. It is from that stand
point very commendable,"
Strong said.
Strong would not com
ment on whether he would
donate any of his expense
money to the band, or
whether there will be any
donations by other admini
strators to the band.
"I just have to say I have
not been involved in any
discussions," he said.
Vice Chancellor of Stu
dent Affairs Richard Arm
strong said he respected
Mockler's judgment.
"I think we simply will
have to go through a process
of reviewing it as he did,"
Armstrong said. But he
added that many factors
that affected Mockler's
decision may not affect the
administration. Armstrong
said that Mockler's being a
peer of band members is a
factor that will not affect
the administrator's decis
ions. Armstrong, along with

his wife, is planning to
travel with the administrat
ive party. He said he has not
taken part in the allotment
of Orange Bowl travel
funds. When asked if he
might give up some of his
allotted expense money,
Armstrong said he would
not be making any decisions
that would be contrary to
his colleagues.
"These are the kinds of
things that arc fringe bene
fits associated with levels of
responsibility," Armstrong
said. He said this kind of
fringe benefit is typical of
other universities, and he
believes it is justified.
People who disagree with
the idea have a right to
voice their opposition, he
said.
Manager cautions against ad
Daily Nebraskan Advertising Manager Art Small
warns students that an ad for Calvin Klein jeans may
have been placed by a questionable company.
The ad, which ran Nov. 30 and Dec. 1, offered
Calvin Klein jeans for $25 through a Wholesale Jeans,
Inc., mail order firm in St. Louis, Mo. The ad said
orders would be accepted through Dec. 4.
Small said he received a complaint from one UNL
student who said he received an order, but the jeans
were the wrong size and appeared to have been worn
before. Small said the student tried to contact Whole
sale Jeans, but discovered there was no listing for such
a company in St. Louis.
Small said the St. Louis Postal Inspector, L.T.
Brooks, applied for a court order Dec. 3 to hold the
company's mail, but the order has not yet been approv
ed. A spokesperson for the St. Louis Better Business
Bureau told Small they had received similar compalints
about that company, and another which advertises
Levi's for $5, and they are putting out an alert against
the companies.
Wholesale Jeans wrote the Daily Nebraskan a check
for the advertisements, but the account had been
closed before payment was made. Small said there is no
listing of the person who signed the check in St. Louis.
Small said he will continue to investigate the situat
ion asks anyone who has questions about the firm to
contact him at the Daily Nebraskan.
