Daily Nebraskan
Campus Recreation to offer
variety of exotic excursions
By Merry Hayes
Staff Reporter
Whitewater rafting in Costa Rica,
taking a pilgrimage across Spain or
hiking in the Grand Canyon are trips
available to UNL students through Cam
pus Recreation.
The trips are organized by Mark
Ebel, assistant director of campus re
creation. He also will conduct tours of
Costa Rica and Spain.
Ebel said he became interested in
Latin America during his first trip to
Mexico. He said he is trying to promote
interest in Latin America's "wild wil
derness" and its inexpensive food,
lodging and transportation.
Such excurions are inexpensive be
cause the tours are organized without
using travel agents, except for airline
bookings, he said.
Using public transportation and stay
ing with families also lowers costs.
"The Costa Rica tour is not a "Holi
day Inn type of trip," Ebel said.
"We're g6lng to be roughing it most
of the time," he said.
UNL Campus Recreation makes no
money from these trips.
"We strive to break even' Ebel said.
"Sometimes we lose money, sometimes
we gain."
The recreation department doesn't
have a problem getting people inter
ested in the trips. He said the Alpine
ski trip this winter already is filled. If
there is a high demand for a trip, the
department interviews and screens pro
spective participants, he said.
"We will pick those who we feel are
best suited for the trip," Ebel said.
"That is, those who are physically fit
and have an appreciation for foreign
culture."
Trips are open to students, faculty
members, alumni and their immediate
family members, he said.
The Costa Rican tour is scheduled
from Dec. 27 to Jan. 11, 1986. It costs
$900, which includes round-trip air
fare, lodging, transportation and some
food. Eight to 1 2 people will be accepted,
Ebel said.
The trip to Spain from July 12 to Aug.
2 costs about $1,200. A walk along a
historic pilgrimage route from the south
west corner of France across Spain is
planned.
"It's an opportunity to observe the
real Spanish life and to communicate
with the Spanish people," Ebel said.
The five-day hike through the Grand
Canyon always has a long waiting list,
he said. Twenty people can participate.
Three people already have signed up,
he said. The trip, scheduled from March
,21 to 30, costs $225. Camping fees,
backpacking equipment, transportation
and food are included.
Weekend canoe trips on the Platte
and Elkhorn rivers, Whitewater rafting
in Arkansas and bicycling trips in Iowa
and Texas also are offered, Ebel said. A
backpacking trip in Colorado during
Thanksgiving vacation and a cross
country skiing seminar in late January
also are planned.

Bill's second-round debate today

because it appropriates state money.
Some the the 37 senators who voted for
LB713 have told him the economy in
their districts is much worse now than
when they voted for the bill, Haberman
said.
Lincoln Sen. Don Wesely, whose dis
trict includes many depositors, said
supporters of the payoff are "a lot mroe
vulnerable" because of the 33-vote
requirement. But he said several sena
tors who voted against LB7 13 will
support the correction bill because "we
screwed up" the first time.
Although some senators are still
arguing whether the state is liable for
Commonwealth deposits, Wesely said the
Legislature has at least a moral obliga
tion to pay off depositors.
"We're running short of money," he
said, "but I feel it's one of those things
we have to take care of."
