Jtesiaence nails overlooked iy"'-"11-
in homecoming festivities
Homecoming Week, an all-university
event now taking place, hasn't seemed
to make that much of a dent in one uni
versity community.
Melba Petrie, Residence Hall Associa
tion vice president, said she believes
residence hall representation is low during
homecoming week because life in the
halls emphasizes a different aspect of
college life.
"Students in the dorms are fairly
career-oriented," she said. "They may
enjoy a football game or a portion of
homecoming activities, but they don't'
want to be involved in the planning."
This year, of the nine male and nine
female candidates for UNL homecoming
king and queen, three females are not
affiliated with sororities and no male
candidates live in residence halls.
Unlike fraternity and sorority mem
bers, who center on community service,
the residence halls students do their own
personal activities, she said.
"Both have benefits and disadvantages,"
Petrie said. "Greeks are people who really
get a lot out of community spirit, and
they are not apathetic. On the other
hand, they miss the chance to develop
independence, which we have in resi
dence halls."
Participation not emphasized
Petrie said that there are probably
some residence hall members who want
to be involved in homecoming, but aren't
because there is no great push for it ir
the residence halls.
P.atrick Edwards, Schramm Hall presi
dent, said that the residence halls are
involved in homecoming, although the
circumstances don't show it.
"There isn't any apathy on the part
of "the students," Edwards said. "The
people involved in homecoming are just
a minority. Before the homecoming fina
lists were picked, there were a lot of dorm
people involved."
Edwards said he felt that residence
hall participation in the planning could
be increased by adding more publicity
in , the halls.
Edwards also said he felt that more
clarity is needed about the event. "Fra
ternities and Sororities have dominated
it for so Jong, some people feel like maybe
it's a Greek event," he said.
Hall involvement increasing
Petrie said she did not know how to
get residence halls more involved in home
coming, but did point out that there had
been a trend lately toward increasing
their involvement.
Each complex works on different
displays and projects, however, the groups
are smaller. Displays also aren't as visible
because for the most part the halls are
on the edge of campus, Petrie said.
Connie Eberspacher, a homecoming
committee member, and homecoming
queen candidate, said one of the com
mittee's biggest goals is to get residence
hall members more involved in the event.
"I think there should be one represen
tative for every residence hall," she said.
"We sent out Homecoming applications
to every dorm floor, and two applications
for co-ed floofs, to encourage involve
ment." Eberspacher said the committee would
like to hear comments on Homecoming
activities from students so that they
could make the event better next year.
Cincinnati doctor honored
for his heart-lung invention
By Lavrie Moses
Dr. Leland Clark, Jr. of the Children's
Hospital Research Foundation in Cincin
nati received the ISCO Award in Biochemi
cal Instrumentation Friday at a ceremony
in Hamilton Hall. Clark was at UNL to
deliver the ISCO Award lecture on his re
search. "I feel especially proud to receive this
award because I have a love affair with
chemistry and biochemical instrumenta
tion," Clark said.
The ISCO award is given to those who
contribute to biochemical instrumentation.
It has been awarded since 1976 by the
department of Chemistry and the Instru
ment Specialties Company of Lincoln
(ISCO), Sheldon Schuster, associate profes
sor of chemistry at UNL, said.
Of Clark's inventions, the heart-lung
machine is the most well known.
"I worked on the heart-lung machine
simply to find out if it could pump a lot of
blood. It pumps a gallon a minute. I also
wanted to see if it could pump oxygen and
keep an animal alive if its heart was
stopped " Clark said. "It acted as a catalyst
and other inventions came about from
this."
Scared to death
"Surgeons and cardiologists read about
it and came to me. In a way I was dragged
into an operating room. I was scared to
death. One, because they were trying my
machine on a human for the fjrst time, and
two because I was in an operating room,"
he said. "The only other time I was in an
operating room was in the third grade for
appendicitis."
"Most inventions come out of a need
for something. One thing for example is
the oxygen electrode. This electrode
measures the amount of oxygen in blood.
Environmentalists use it to measure oxygen
in streams," Clark said.
Currently Clark is working on a glucose
analyzer which measures the amount of
sugar in the blood. This will aid diabetics
by releasing insulin when needed, he said.
Artifical blood
Clark also is attempting to develop
artificial blood.
"It's made of chlorofluorocarbons
which carries oxygen very well. It's almost
better than regular blood because it carries
more oxygen to the tissues than real blood
and is storable and stable at room
temperature," Clark said. "I don't think
(artificial) blood can replace real blood,
but should only be used as a substitute to
help until a person's real blood can come
back up."
Clark said his main job is research, but
he is spending roughly half his time trying
to get funds to do his research.
"The most important thing of all for the
future of the country is to encourage and
protect the freedom of research and fund
ing," Clark said.
