FINKS support
new residents,
help move them in
By Chuck Green
and Elizabeth Hansen
Staff Reporters
Loneliness and confusion often suf
fered by freshmen at the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln can be softened by
FINK We< k, which has become a UNL
tradition.
FINKs, or Friends Introducing New
Kids, are made up of upperclassmen
from each of the 12 residence halls on
campus. This fall’s FINKs were chosen
last spring after being nominated by
members of their own halls.
This year’s FINK Week began Tues
day and will last through Saturday.
Each residence hall has different events
scheduled, but anyone can attend events
at any site, said Jill Light, FINK Week
chairperson.
All-campus events are scheduled for
Friday and Saturday. All-night movies
are scheduled for Friday at 9 p.m. in
each hall’s cafeteria.
Light said that the films are rented
from Films, Inc., and they are the most
expensive event for the week. She said
the movies were rented for $1,000 and
are films that have run in theaters.
KFRX radio will sponsor a dance
Saturday night, Light said. She said
that the dance won’t cost the Resi
dence Hall Association anything be
cause it serves as free advertising for
KFRX.
Besides planned activities, Light
said, FINK Week is a time for freshmen,
transfer students and new hall resi
dents to become acquainted with the
university and the campus, and to
create a community atmasphere in the
residence halls.
FINKs will greet students and help
them move in and will try to make the
new surroundings seem as friendly as
possible, Light said.
“When a new person on the floor
knows at least one other person, they’re
not so alone,” said Deb Richardson, a
FINK on Schramm 5 last year.
Richardson said that even though
she didn’t receive a salary for her
eiioris, sne epjoyea meeting new
people and making new friends and
received other benefits.
Some of the benefits FINKs receive,
Richardson said, include free meals
during FINK Week and T-shirts. FINKs
also are allowed to move into their
rooms a week earlier than other stu
dents.
Although FINK Week is centered on
the residence halls, Light said any stu
dent may attend.
Drop and add
starts Aug. 25
in the City Union
From Staff Reports__
Students can drop and add classes
Aug. 26-31 on the second floor of the
Nebraska Union.
Students must pay a $5 fee upon
entering the drop/add area. The fee is
for all changes a student needs to
make. If a student needs to leave the
area to get a signature for class admis
sion, he or she can obtain a pass so the
$5 will not have to be repaid.
Janet Holtzhauser, supervisor of the
registration office, said students should
check the courses they are trying to
add to make sure they are open. Com
puter listings will be posted and com
puter terminals will be set up to be
used to c^pfirm course availability.
were distributed from the Nebraska
Union.
People with passes avoided the lines
when tickets officially went on sale at
the union. Tickets were also sold at
Pickles, Younkers and Dirt Cheap.
Public outcry in Lincoln and phone
calls to concert organizer Willie Nelson
brought UNL and FarmAid back to the
contract tables after negotiations broke
off. FarmAid organizers began consid
ering a new location when UNL officials
took too long with negotiations.
“One of the problems we’ve had with
FarmAid III is that we’ve had too much
time," Nelson told The Lincoln Star
earlier this summer.
Lawyers representing both sides
found reasons to question contract
I
proposals, he said.
“Our lawyers are as guilty of that as !
anyone,” Nelson said.
The signed contract includes 17
pages of detailed descriptions of park
ing arrangements, protection to the
stadium’s artificial turf, bans against
political activity, and arrangements for
covering UNL’s cost.
Omaha businessman Willy Theisen
also did his part in gettii the benefit
concert to Lincoln by oJering UNL
$100,000 to settle the contract.
According to Tom Krepel, assistant
to the chancellor, no decision has been
made as to how the money will be
spent. Theisen is the founder of the
Godfather’s Pizza chain and was not
availble for comment.
