Two professors recognized
with Tidball humanity awards
By Chris McCubbin
Diversions Editor
UNL can seem an uncaring and impersonal
place where people who value the individual
above the institution too often go unthanked
and unrewarded.
But Sunday night at Saint Mark's on the
Campus two UNL professors were rewarded
for their creative efforts to help people.
Erwin H. Goldenstein of the history and
philosophy of education department and
English professor Gene Bennett Hardy were
honored at the sixth annual Sue Tidball
v. y !
Goldsnstsin
Award Celebration. Each received a $100
check and a certificate.
The Sue Tidball Award honors people at
UNL for creative humanity who contribute to
the development of a humane, open, caring
and educationally creative campus.
Goldenstein recruits and assists minority
faculty and students. He is a designer and
lecturer for the Teachers College's multicul
tural education course. He is on the boards of
Lincoln General Hospital and the Malone.
Community Center.
Hardy has taught at UNL for more than 35
years and began children's literature class.
In 1982, Hardy received the Annis Chaikin
Sorenson Award for distinguished teaching.
Hardy is faculty sponsor of the UNL Christian
Fellowship and has a weekly ministry at the
Nebraska State Penitentiary
Helen Boosalis, former mayor of Lincoln
and 1986 Democratic candidate for governor,
spoke at the awards ceremony about "the
need for humanizing society and large insti
tutions like a university."
Entertainment at the awards celebration
was provided by the Salt Creek String Band,
a local folk ensemble, Roger Gold, a magi
cian, and Lynette Alcorn, a clown. There was
a wine and cheese reception after the presentation.
The other 1987 award nominees were Sue
Dauer, a graduate student and teaching
assistant in Teachers College; Lynn Eisen
man, a clerical assistant with Campus Activi
ties and Programs; C. Edward Jones, a profes
sor in the physics and astronomy department;
Michael Morosin, graduate student in special
education and recipient of the Sue Tidball
award last year; Ian Newman, professor and
director of the school of Health, Physical
Education and Recreation, and Linda
Schwartzkopf, assistant coordinator of pre
admissions activities.
Tidball was a counselor for the United Min
istries in Higher Education campus ministry
for 10 years. She died in 1976 of an incurable,
rare blood disease.
The Sue Tidball award is sponsored by the
UMHE ministry of UNL Nominees were sub
mitted from the UNL community, and a 16
member committee selected the winners.

Regents to vote
on Burger King
franchise lease
By Amy Edwards
Staff Reporter
A lease agreement with Cormack
Enterprises, Inc., will be brought before
the UNL Board of Regents Saturday to
decide whether Burger King will be the
fast-food franchise in the Nebraska
Union.
Daryl Swanson, union director, said
the Union Board's decision was a close
call between Burger King and Hardee's
based on the bids from both parties
and student response. The board picked
Burger King in January, but didn't
make their decision public until Mon
day. Swanson said that Hardee's bid about
40,000 per year and Burger King bid
about $42,000 a year, but added that
the "tie-breaker" was an informal pol
ling of students done by Union Board
members. Swanson said that the board
thought there was a strong preference
for Burger King among students, and
the only negative point against Har
dee's was a "lack of presence in this
community."
Many students were not as familiar
with Hardee's as with Burger King,
Swanson said, which would have hurt
Hardee's marketing.
Swanson said they were hoping for
the regents to pass the proposed lease
for an April contract so that Burger
King could be operating in the union by
the fall semester. A May contract would
not give the franchise enough time to
open by August, he said.
Craig Cormack, president of Cor
mack Enterprises, Inc., declined to
comment about what the franchise
hoped to gain with the contract until
after the regent's vote on the lease
agreement.
Jeff Fishback, former Union Board
president, said that the process included
researching and touring the restau
rants, and reviewing the contract proposals.
The final
chapter?

Attending class could be a
way to skip court for party-goers
ticketed on alcohol-related char
ges in September.
Phi Kappa Psi fraternity mem
bers and their dates, 135 persons
in all, were ticketed for either
minor in possession or procuring
for a minor after the fraternity's
chartered buses were stopped
and searched northeast of Wahoo
Sept. 13. Saunders County Attor
ney Loren Lindahl said in October
that charges would not be filed
against 74 of the people tick
eted. The remaining 61 minors
whom police said had alcohol on
their breath, waited for results of
the test case.
But the test case will not be
tried.
After a decision to allow evi
dence obtained during the search
of the buses, the people cited
now have the option to go through
a pre-trial diversion program.
Eric McMasters, state director
of the National Corrective Train
ing Institute, said that about 40
of the 61 eligible have signed up
for the program. Lindahl said he
expects to have the final list of
participants after this week.
