scheduled for Friday

University of Nebraska-Lincoln
students attending Comstock Friday
will have one last big bash before the
stress of final exams sets in, said Chris
Anderson, the event’s coordinator.
East Campus Plaza will fill with
music, food and thousands of people
Friday at the 18th annual celebration,
Anderson said.
Anderson, chairman of the Dances
and Comstock committee of the Uni
versity Program Council-East, said
the outdoor concert will begin at
12:30 p.m. and the bands Sons, Ivory
and E.T.C. will perform.
Anderson said Comstock, which
began as an East Campus event, at
tracts people from City Campus and
across Lincoln.
Kari Lubker, a senior finance
major, said she looks forward to
Comstock every year. This will be the
third year she has gone, she said.
Lubker said she goes mainly to sec
her friends. She said she meets a
group of about 30 people there every
year.
Lubker said she will go no matter
what the weather is like.
“I wouldn’t miss it,” she said.
“Everybody should experience it
once.”
Anderson said rain poses a big
problem for organizers every year,
but he said he’s crossing his fingers
that the weather will cooperate Fri
day. He said no rain site is planned
because the committee doesn’t have
enough money for a deposit on the
Bob Devaney Sports Center or Persh
ing Auditorium. This year’s budget is
about S8,(XX), Anderson said.
Anderson said the site was moved
this year from the East Campus intra
mural fields to the plaza because the
new animal science building near the
fields is being dedicated Friday.
Anderson said because of the sun
and the large number of people at
tending, the Red Cross will attend as
a precautionary measure.
as another precautionary meas
ure, Anderson said, no glass bottles
will be permitted on the plaza. Stu
dent volunteers and UNL police will
patrol the area to take care of any
problems that arise, he said.
Comstock is one of UPC-East’s
biggest annual events, he said. Last
year, 5,000 people attended, and if the
weather is nice, Anderson said, at
least that many will attend this year.
The event is co-sponsored by
Budwciscr and the Concerts and
Coffeehouses committee from UPC
City. Togos, The House of Lettering
and AT&T will provide food and free
prizes, Anderson said, and KFRX will
do live radio spots throughout theday.

Animal complex to be dedicated Friday
By Chris Carroll
Staff Reporter
Benefits of the new $19 million animal
science complex include a contained depart
ment, indoor livestock pens and a computer
room, said Richard Stock, professor of animal
science at the University of Ncbraska-Lincoln.
The animal science complex will be dedi
cated at 1:30 p.m. Friday in the Animal Sci
ences Auditorium. An open house is scheduled
from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.
In the past, the animal science department
was in three buildings: Marvel Baker Hall,
Mussehl Hall and Locffel Meat Laboratory.
But because the areas of the animal science
department arc interrelated, it was necessary
to put them in one building, Stock said. Now all
three areas of the department are housed in the
complex.
Elton Aberlc, chairman of the animal sci
ence department, said putting livestock pens,
staff offices, research labs and classrooms in
one building was first discussed 30 years ago.
Before the complex was built, livestock was
housed in a bam behind Miller Hall and classes
were taught in Marvel Baker Hall. Often stu
dents would have to travel to both buildings for
their course work.
An improved classroom setup is another
advantage of the new complex.
One classroom surrounds an animal corral.
This allows students to observe animals in a
pen while silting at their desks.
Roger Mandigo, animal science professor,
said the complex also provides more space for
housing animals.
Research animals are now housed at the
complex. Stock said. This will allow for more
efficient research, Stock said Previously, the
animals were housed in Mead, cast of Wahoo,
because there was not enough space for the
livestock on campus.
Having the animals located on campus al
lows researchers to gather animal samples
more quickly and efficiently.
For example, blood and waste samples can
be obtained from the animals on a regular basis,
Stock said. The samples can be obtained more
efficiently—without having to travel to Mead,
Stock said.
Another addition includes a new compute
room with 20 terminals on the second floor o
the complex, Stock said.
Access to AGNET, an agricultural compui
ing network, allows students to use program
such as the Cow Game, a genetic breedin]
program. This program allows them to sclcc
cows and bulls in an attempt to build the bes
herds throughout several generations, sai<
Pamela Peters, marketing coordinator fo
AGNET.
Students interested in horsemanship will
benefit from anew indoor arena at the com plex,
Mandigo said. Students will be able to use the
area to study performance classes such as
horsemanship.
