By Kristi Lynch
The young woman cradles the
basketball in her hand and rolls quickly
across the slick gym floor toward the
basketball hoop.
But this is no ordinary basketball game.
This game is being played in wheelchairs.
It is the Third Annual Tourn-a-thon
sponsored by UNL's Farmhouse fraternity
and Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. Pledge
money raised will be donated to the
Cedars Home for Children, a temporary
home for neglected children.
The tournament at the Men's Physical
Education building was continuous Friday
through Sunday.
Beginning at 3 p jn. Friday, teams made
up of members of the two houses played
basketball in wheelchairs in rotating
shifts. Tournament teams (from other
Greek houses and organizations) relieved
the two sponsor teams by playing part
of Friday , Saturday and Sunday .
Each tournament team played one
30-minute game. The men's teams played
Farmhouse and the women's teams played
Kappa Alpha Theta.
Tom Dierks, chairman of this year's
Tourn-a-thon, said a different sorority is
chosen each year to participate in the
event. Each year the proceeds are given to
a different cause, Dierks said.
Most of the teams entered in the
tournament were sponsored by Greek
houses. Twelve fraternities and six
sororities participated. Other teams like
the UNL Block and Bridle Club, Agronomy
Club and a team of industrial engineers
also entered. These teams paid a $25
entry fee, Dierks said.
Bryan Hospital, the Lincoln Police
Department, KHAT radio station and
Budweiser Distributors all entered teams,
which also collected pledges.
The men's team that collected the
most pledges received an autographed
basketball of the UNL men's basketball
team. The women's team with the most
pledge received an autographed basketball
of the women's basketball team, Dierks
said.
Winners of the tournament were
determined by their score and how they
played against Farmhouse and Kappa
Alpha Theta. Each house had a 15-member
team that played against the men's or
women's teams entered in the tournament.
The winners received a trophy.
The first place trophy for the men went
to Acacia fraternity. Alpha Tau Omega
fraternity placed second. Chi Omega
sorority took first place in the women's
competition, Alpha Phi placed second.
The autographed basketballs were
awarded to the Bryan Hosptal men's team
and the Alpha Omicron Pi women's teams.
Dierks said the money to be donated
to Cedars Home will be totaled this week.

S
Anarky says 'no malicioia
intent' after flag complaint
UNL Police questioned Anarky Party
members last week after a complaint was
filed about a dyed American flag displayed
Thursday in the Anarky Party booth in the
Nebraska Union.
Beth Berigan, Anarky Party vice
presidential candidate, said the flag was
purchased used at the Disabled American
Veterans Thrift Store and was being
displayed as a backdrop for the Anarky
Party booth.
Berigan would not say if an Anarky
sign was put on the flag or whether the
party was responsible for dying the flag
purple or if it was purchased that way.
"There was no malicious intent intended
against the country," she said. "It was just
like a backdrop for our party booth."
Berigan said someone complained to
an Anarky Party member sitting in the
booth, but Anarky presidential cnadidate
Joni Jacobs was not aware of the
complaint. When nothing was done, the
person summoned the UNL police, Berigan
said.
Jacobs, who said she was advised by her
lawyer not to comment on the matter,
did say that she was not arrested.
UNL police confirmed that no one was
arrested and said they have passed on
information about the flag to the county
attorney.
ESeaclhi hopes to cleaim dap
f irammewoirk If AUN
By Mona Koppelman
The Reach Party wants to "clean
house" at ASUN, according to presidential
candidate Matt Wallace, a junior political
science major.
"What we're talking about doing is
cleaning up the framework of ASUN,"
Wallace said. "We're taking a realistic
approach . . . dealing with the concrete,
not the abstract."
"Right now I think there's a real
negative attitude that has been fostered
by ASUN," Wallace said. "Students are
very apathetic towards it. They don't
think it does anything for them.
"ASUN gets elected and then everyone
sits up in the office and they say 'Well ,
OK, we gave you our office hours. It
says who we are in the newsletter. You
come see us if you've got a problem,' "
he said.
Much of this problem could be
alleviated by creating a Presidential Liaison
position, he said.
The duty of the liaison would be
communication, he said. The liaison would
serve as a speaker. He would visit as many
clubs, organizations and living units as
possible, he said.
"The way I understand it right now is
that the president will go speak to any
group . . . when they ask him. But the
point is, they have to go to the trouble
toask," Wallace said. "I think it should
be our responsibility to open up those
lines of communication."
The liaison would be an executive
level position, according to the Reach
party platform. Other Reach proposals
include the selection of presidential
assistants to handle "day-to-day details,"
allowing the president more time to fill
his role as student regent.
If reorganization is the top priority
within ASUN, the university budget is
Reach's primary external concern, he said.
"It seems very cut-and-dried that if
you have funding you can run programs,
and if you don't, you can't," he said.
"Chair budget committees do research
on university budget in conjunction with
the Government Liaison Committee,"
he said. "Obviously, I would have to be
at the helm of organizing the whole
budgetary research. Having been around
the block once, seeing it from a senator's
perspective and having done the research
with GLC, I think I've got a pretty good
understanding of what's going on."
ASUN needs to put forth the same
effort when the budget comes up that it
put forth during last year's special session,
he said.
"Right now, the president testifies
and the lobbyist from GLC testifies and
that's about it as far as ASUN is
concerned."
"I think we have done good work this
year, contrary to what a lot of people
think," Wallace said. "It's unfortunate,
because obviously it's not enough. What
we're looking for is to change attitudes
toward ASUN. ASUN hasn't been
consistent. It's had good years and bad
years, so students don't trust it. But I
think we have had a good year this year,
but not enough communication."
