The Nebraska men's basketball team
was rewarded Sunday after a difficult
season. The Cornhuskers have been
invited to the NCAA tournament and
will play Western Kentucky in Char
lotte, N.C., Friday night. Nebraska is
the No. 9 seed in the Southeast regional.
It is Nebraska's first ever NCAA bid.
If the Huskers defeat the Hilltoppers,
Faculty seminars new item
Arts & Sciences a la Carte begins
This week's Arts & Sciences a la
Carte will include a few new things on
the menu.
Kim Philpot, co-chairwoman of the
event, said faculty seminars are an
item that the College of Arts and
Sciences didn't include in its annual
promotional week last year.
"We're trying to get both faculty and
students involved," said Philpot, a
senior French major.
Four UNL faculty members will speak
on their areas of specialty. They include
Wheeler Dixon, art and English profes
sor and director of the film production
unit, who will speak on jobs in the film
industry; Nicole Smith, modern lan
gauges professor, who will speak on

they likely will meet Kentucky in a
second-round game in Charlotte on
Sunday. Kentucky, the No. 1 seed in the
Southeast region, opens with Davidson.
"I felt we were in good shape when
we left Kansas City," Nebraska coach
Moe Iba said. "I knew if they took Mis

we hfwe a better record than them."
Missouri is the No. 11 seed in the
West region and will meet Alabama
Birmingham in a game at Ogden, Utah.

Specific times are listed below.
Philpot said she hopes 40 to 50 peo

are open to anyone, not just arts and
sciences majors.
The foreign language seminar prob

majors must take some foreign lan

Owner vows
By Ad Hudler
Editorial Page Editor
A recurrence of an old college fad at
UNL has Earl Madsen in an uproar.
The owner of Madsen's Bowling and
Billiards Center on N. 48th Street
claims UNL students are stealing his
new bowling shoes. Lots of them.
Once popular in the early 1970s,
bowling shoes are making their way
into private closets again, he says.
Some swipe a pair or two just for the
thrill of a theft. Others find them an
odd complement to their wardrobes.
And some students claim they make
the smoothest, slickest dancing shoes
in town.
Whatever the reason, the thefts cost
Madsen some big bucks. He said he lost
about $400 in shoes last month. That's
about $21 a pair.
"It's a fad thing," Madsen.said. "It
makes me real upset. We're supposed
to be running this place, but they're
running it."
Madsen appears to be the hardest
hit of Lincoln bowling centers, mainly
because he caters heavily to the col
lege crowd.
Yet other Lincoln bowling centers
also have somewhat of a problem.
"It's certainly a problem that's been
with the industry for years and years
and years," said Jim Dill of Hollywood
The Big Eight Conference sends a
record five teams to the NCAA tourna
ment. Besides Nebraska and Missouri,
Kansas, Oklahoma and Iowa State also
qualified.
Kansas, the No. 1 seed in the Midwest
region, will meet North Carolina A&T in
an opening-round game. Oklahoma, the
No. 4 seed in the East region, will meet
Northeastern in its opening round game.

she said.
Taylor's seminar on Halley's comet
also should attract many people, she
said.
"He's quite an expert in his field,"
Philpot said of Taylor. "A lot of people
don't realize we have these people
here."
Other new items for this year's Arts
and Sciences Days include an exhibit
of new physics equipment in the Ne
braska Union by the Society of Physi
cists. People can experiment with the
equipment on Tuesday and Thursday.
The student meteorology society will
set up equipment for experiments on
the same days and Monday. .

Bowl, 920 N. 48th St. Dill said his bowl
ing center hasn't noticed an increase
in shoe thefts, but he remains con
cerned and is quick to point out that
swiping a pair of the multi-colored
leather shoes isn't funny.
"They're stealing...it's not a prank,"
he said, "They're stealing. It's a case of
responsibility."
Some say shoes ugly
Neil Early, manager of Sun Valley
Lanes at 321 Apple Creek Road, said he
hasn't seen much of a problem because
they don't handle as many college stu
dents as Madsen.
A spokeswoman for the bowling alley
in the East Union also said she hasn't
seen an increase in shoe thefts. Why
anyone would want to steal them is
mysterious to her, she said.
"Have you seen those shoes? They're
ugly," she said.
But Madsen wants to get to the bot
tom of the problem. He said he wrote
down a license plate number of a stu
dent who walked out with a pair of
shoes one night a couple of weeks ago.
Madsen then called UNL Police Chief
Gale Gade to ask what legal actions he
can take. But since Madsen's business
is off campus, UNL police can't d?
much.
Gade said the only way UNL police
can help is if they pick someone up on
campus for a different crime, then dis
Sex disease
on campus,
Chlamydia is the fastest growing,
least known and most prominent
sexually transmitted disease at UNL,
said Dr. Gerald Fleischli, medical
director for the University Health
Center.
Fleischli said chlamydia (pro
nounced "cla-MID-ee-uh") has in
creased significantly in the last five
to 10 years. Part of the increase
might be due to better tests to
detect chlamydia and an increased
awareness of the disease, he said.
In a recent study by the health
center staff, 151 men and women at
UNL were tested for chlamydia; 12
percent of the women tested who
showed no symptoms had the dis
ease, while 19 percent of the women
who showed symptoms also had
chlamydia. All the men tested had
symptoms of chlamydia and 44 per
cent had the disease.
The Center for Disease Control in
Atlanta estimates that only 20 to 30
percent of males with chlamydia
show no symptoms.
Common symptoms for men are
painful urination and a watery dis
charge from the penis.
But only half of women infected
with chlamydia show symptoms,
Fleischli said. The symptoms for
women are itching and burning in

cover they're wearing stolen bowling
shoes.
"It's a real tough" problem, Gade
said.
Owner will prosecute
Madsen wants to prosecute anyone
who is caught stealing bowling shoes in
the future.
While that's possible, it could be a
little tough, said Capt. Douglas Ahl
berg of the Lincoln Police Department.
Stealing shoes constitutes petty lar
ceny, but since students rent the shoes,
bowling alley owners would have to
prove that students actually intended
to steal the shoes.
That, Ahlberg said, is hard to prove
sometimes.
Madsen says he'll have to make some
changes at his bowling alley. Most Lin
coln bowling alleys don't hold your
street shoes or a driver's license while
you rent the bowling shoes, but that
might change.
"It's ridiculous, but we have to cope
with this thing," Madsen said.
Madsen said 90 percent of his prob
lem is that people working in bowling
alleys often are too busy to ask people
if they have rented shoes to return.
When and if Madsen catches his
next thief, he says he'll prosecute. He
wants to set an example for other peo
ple who can't resist the temptation of
contributing to the new foot fetish.

the genitals, vaginal discharge, dull
pelvic pain and bleeding between
menstrual periods.
s Medical researchers have just
recently begun to understand the
extent of medical problems chla
mydia causes, Fleischli said. In
men, researchers have found chla
mydia is the leading cause of inflam
mation of the urethra, he said,
which resembles gonorrhea but is
not caused by the gonorrhea bacte
rium. If left untreated, Fleischli
said, it might lead to sterility. In
homosexual males, chlamydia has
been attributed to causing anal
inflammation and Reiter's Syndrome,
a condition much like arthritis, he
said.
Chlamydia has a more serious
effect on women if left untreated,
Fleischli said. Chlamydia can block
the fallopian tubes with scar tissue,
causing infertility.
Chlamydia also increases the risk
for an embryo developing in the fal
lopian tubes instead of the uterus
during a woman's pregnancy, Flei
schli said.
Chlamydia is easily detectable
and easily treated, said Fleischli.
The test for chlamydia at the health
center costs $10.
