Phi Kappa Psi party
over before it starts

:c) 1986, Daily Nebraskan
Phi Kappa Psi fraternity's Sandblast
party ended before it began as buses
carrying the fraternity members and
their dates were stopped at a road
block in Saunders County and 124 peo
ple were ticketed on alcohol related
charges.
The four buses carrying Phi Psi
members were stopped Saturday about
8:30 p.m. at a roadblock on route 64, 9

portation for the
party.
miles south and 4 miles east of Fre
mont, said Sgt. Neil Miles, State Patrol
traffic division.
Phi Psi member Tom Heldridge said
the buses were on their way to Valley
for a beach party.
The 124 summons were issued for
minor in possession or procuring alco
hol for a minor. 80 percent of the
tickets were for MIP, Miles said.
MIP and procuring for a minor are
Class III misdemeanors and carry a
maximum penalty of $500 fine or three
months imprisonment.
All the passengers on the bus, includ
ing the picture man, hired to photo
graph the party, were given tickets,
Heldridge said. He said people were
given tickets whether or not they were
drinking.
When the buses arrived in Wahoo
people were told to stay on the buses
and then they were filed into the
courthouse bus by bus to get their
tickets.
The buses were stopped because
"prior information had been received,"
Miles said. He said the information
indicated that minors were drinking.
The State Liquor Commission coor
dinated the roadblock and law enforce
ment officials from Saunders County
and the State Patrol gave assistance.
Police took alcohol and about 20
coolers off the bus and kept them for
evidence, Heldridge said.
Heldridge estimated the fraternity
had spent $1,200 on food, beverages
and transportation for the party.
Miles said two other buses were
stopped at the roadblock and checked
for alcohol, but they contained no open
alcohol so no tickets were given.
Passengers on the bus were not the
only people to be given summons,
Miles said. A car violated a traffic law
while officers had the buses stopped.
The car was stopped and the three
individuals in the car were ticketed
with MIP, he said.
Phi Psi President Mark Divis said he
had no comment on the incident.

ving Greek system. Instead, she viewed
their achievement as "a sign of what
we've always done."

Finance class plays the market
By Ann Schumacher
Staff Reporter
$150,000.
Most college students can only dream
of having a spare $150,000 to invest in
the stock market.
But students in Finance 463 and 863
have that much money to gamble in
stocks and bonds, watch the invest
ments grow or dwindle and learn how
the market works.
Richard DeFusco, assistant finance
professor, said the class divides into
troups of five to seven people, and each
group manages a fund.
When the class began five years ago,
the class invested $20,000. Over the
five years, the investment has grown to
$58,000.
In October of 1 985, the class received
three $50,000 funds from the University
of Nebraska Foundation. In July, the
three funds totaled $204,000.
The students are completely respon
sible for managing the portfolios for 13
weeks. DeFflsco said the class receives
the portfolios from the previous class
and can decide which investments to
keep and buy.
Jeff Howell, a senior in finance and
accounting from Gering, said he got
hands-on experience from the class.
