Gillette ads milk for money
By Joeth Zucco
Staff Reporter
The Gillette Dairy Company is join
ing the campaign to solicit donatons
for the new indoor practice field and
recreation center.
The company is running ads on the
side panel of its milk carton that show
Athletic Director Bob Devaney and
football coach Tom Osborne saying,
"The Nebraska football team needs
your help."
"We're not getting anything, out of
it," said Jerry Hubert of Gillette Dairy.
"We like to work with things that have
to do with the state."
Hubert said all the donations will go
toward construction of the practice
field and recreation center, even though
the ad only mentions the practice field.
The ads will run on milk cartons
until April 1 and from June 1 to Aug. 1.
Hubert said radio and television ads
also will be run to generate donations.
Lee Liggett, NU Foundation, said
Gillette officials came to them with the
idea of running the ads to help gener
ate private donations. Liggett said the
foundation is committed to raising $3
million to $3.5 million for the project
and have $1.5 million to date. Fund
raising gatherings, personal contact,
mailings and a $5 surcharge on non
student football tickets will be used to
raise money for the project.
"The drive has gone well. We're
pleased with how it's gone to date,"
Liggett said.
Sentiment has been in favor of the
project, according to Liggett, sports
information director Don Bryant and
Campus Recreation director, Stan
Campbell.
"I think the project is long overdue
on our campus," Campbell said. "The
availability of recreation space for stu
dents is the lowest in the Big Eight.
Seventy-six percent of the students
participate in recreation. I think the
percentage will go up when it's com
pleted." Another commercially supplied in
centive to donate is a bumper sticker
from Valentino's for donations of $25 or
more. Hubert said the stickers will say,
"We're under cover."
$995,000 room in doubt
stadium addition proposed
By Jen Deselms
Senior Reporter
Despite continued discussion about
a proposed $995,000 meeting room for
the UNL football team, the room may be
far from becoming reality.
Although the room is included in the
$16.6 million recreation center" and;
practice facility budget, it may not be
located in the new center. It may never
be built at all, some officials say.
Vice Chancellor of Business and
Finance John Goebel said in a Monday
press conference that the new center is
not the ideal place for the meeting
room. Goebel said the meeting room
would be better if it was closer to the
stadium. A proposal to build an addi
tional floor onto the South Stadium is
being considered.
Currently, offensive players meet in
an auditorium in the South Stadium
and defensive players watch game films
in a locker room.
Sports Information Director Don
Bryant said the estimated cost of nearly
$1 million is not set because the final
cost depends on where and if the
room is built.
Goebel said planners are still look
ing for the least expensive, quality way
to build the meeting room.
According to the Sunday Journal
Star, Nebraska football coach Tom
Osborne was dissatisfied with the
estimated cost of building an addi
tional floor to South Stadium.
"1 had a meeting with the people in
charge of the design statement and
said, 'That's no good. We can't afford
that kind of money,' " Osborne said. "I
told them that if the meeting room
couldn't be done in the $100,000 to
$150,000 range, to forget it. We want a
meeting room, but we don't want an
exorbitant thing."
Osborne and Athletic Director Bob
Devaney could not be reached for
comment Monday.
