Greek-ha
By Diana Johnson
Staff Reporter
Familiarization with one another
may be a key to closing the gap
between residents of UNL residence
halls and Greek houses, said Doug
Weems, RHGreek Commission chair
man. Officers of Interfraternity Coun
cil and the Panhellenic Association
met with Residence Hall Associa
tion senators during a regular meet
ing Nov, 21.
IFC and Panhellenic officers dis
cussed the structure of their organ
izations and fielded questions from
RHA senators.
Weems said bringing the officers
E relations discu
me
together would allow them to "see
the people in the organization's
instead of just knowing the names."
Tony Coe, Abel residence hall
president said he thinks previous
conflicts between Greeks and hall
residents have been caused by "a
lack of understanding."
"Greeks don't understand why
people in the residence halls act
the way they do and vice versa," he
said.
Weems suggested that minor
problems between Greeks and resi
dence halls be handled by filing
incident reports with the UNL police
department.
"I feel that communication has
progressed between the residence
halls and the Greek houses," said
Woody Getz, RHA adviser, "slowly
but to be sure it has."
Coe suggested programming stem
ming beyond the RHGreek Com
mission "to strengthen and build a
relationship" between living units,
he said.
"I think it's important to increase
awareness between hall and Greek
residents," Coe said.
In other matters, RHA Vice Pres
ident Pete Castellano said that
overhead lighting in residence hall
rooms will be installed in January
instead of during winter break as
previously planned.

Union won't
take coupons
From Staff Reports
Coupon users wanting to save a cent
or two on products like Band-Aids and
Tasters's Choice coffee probably won't
find much help at the University Book
store. The bookstore "simply doesn't carry
the facilities for" redeeming coupons,
said Richard Lewis, bookstore opera
tions manager. Coupon redemption
usually more common in grocery stores
or discount stores requires "quite a
bit of accounting," Lewis said.
The bookstore also lacks a wide
enough selection of name-brand pro
ducts and a person to organize the
coupons to redeem them, he said.
Computer team
takes first place
in regional contest
By Merry Hayes
Staff Reporter
UNL's computer team recently
won the Association of Computing
Machinists regional programming
contest, which marked the first
time the UNL group has placed first
in the competition.
Team members were chosen for
the competition after placing among
the top five in a programming con
test at UNL. Team members include
Tom Loos, Tom Meyer, Tim Meyers,
Paul Petersen and Richard Schulte.
The group competed against 20
teams from Kansas, Missouri, South
Dakota and Illinois at the contest in
Lawrence, Kan., Nov. 16.
A series of computer problems
were presented to each team, which
had to write a program in Pascal or
Fortran and beat it. If the program
ran properly, the team submitted it
for a judged run. The UNL team
solved the most problems in the
allocated time.
Petersen said speed and accu
racy helped the team win.
"Strategy in class is making an
elegant solution that executes effi
ciently," he said. "Our strategy in
the contest was making a program
that ran and making it fast."
To prepare for the contest the
team went over problems that had
been given in other contests, Peter
sen said.
Petersen said it's difficult to
prepare for a contest.
"It's not something you can study
for," he said. "It draws on every
thing you've ever learned in every
class you've ever taken."
Team members were confident
going into the contest, Petersen
said.
"We thought we'd place near the
top," he said.
UNL consistently places in the
top three in the ACM regional com
petition. The team finished second
last year and went to national com
petition in 1883.
To do well at nationals in Cincin
nati Feb. 4 to 7, Petersen said, the
team has to work well together.
"I'd like to predict another first
place, but the team this year is not
quite as good as the 1983 team," he
said. "It doesn't have quite the
depth."
