Drug bill not effective, opponents say j DRUGS From Page 1 “Wc have to do it one step at a time,” she said. Senators also brought up the cost related problems of LB592. Sen. Gary Hannibal of Omaha said that if senators are ready to pass the bill and increase the prison terms for drug dealing, they also need to be ready to pay for more prisons. Hannibal said he also is against the bill because it would take away judges’ discretion in hardship cases. Abboud said the bill is designed to convict only crack and cocaine deal ers by specifying that large amounts of drugs are needed for conviction. Fraternities drop little sister groups SISTERS From Page 1 Little sister programs are not rec ognized organizations at UNL, she said, which leaves the fraternities liable for little sister actions. Increased liability is an important reason for dropping little sister pro grams, Anderson said. She said lim ited resources also can cause the programs to be canceled. ‘‘It’s not just the cost of having the programs, but also many of the strong leaders (of the fraternity) will work with the little sister program instead of taking other offices,” she said. But Greg Imig, Triangle fraternity president, said his fraternity has kept its little sister program because the benefits outweigh any problems. “It’s nice to have the girls around, not just in a traditional dating sense, but just as a bunch of friends,” he said. Chi Phi little sister Kathy Burgett said she likes the program because it gives women who are not otherwise involved a chance for leadership opportunities. ‘‘It’s good for girls who aren’t in sororities to get to know about the greek system,” she said. Burgetl said she aoesn i minx little sister programs detracted from sororities because the goals of the organizations are different. In fact, she said, many of the little sisters have decided to join sororities next year. Yost agreed that little sisters don’t detract from sororities, but said there are both good and bad programs. Good little sister programs in clude the women in other fraternity functions besides social activities, he said. If fraternities want to continue their little sister programs, Yost said, they should first determine exactly why the programs exist and set defi nite goals they hope to accomplish. Athletes make grades POLL From Page J than the rest of students so they can continue to play sports. Baird said athletes are treated the same as other students at UNL. Athletes at UNL must conform to NCAA requirements, which are “convoluted and Byzantine,’’ in order to be eligible for sports, she said. To be able to participate in sports at UNL, Baird said, athletes must be in good academic standing, just like any other student. All students in good standing must maintain a 2.0 grade point average, she said. Nearly three quarters of the poll respondents said a “C” average should be required for athletes to be eligible, while 20 percent said grade requirements should be even higher, according to the AP.

Group to gather signatures for stamps From Staff Reports University of Nebraska-Lin coln Air Force ROTC members will be collecting signatures at a booth in the Nebraska Union today to persuade the U.S. Postal Service to issue a stamp honoring prisoners of war and those missing in action. Kirth Pederson, one of the or ganizers of the booth, said the stamp would help increase public awareness about prisoners of war and servicemen missing in action. “Even though we haven’t been in a war in a long time, there are still people missing,” Pederson said. The booth is a project of the Arnold Air Society, a select group of ROTC members committed to community service and public awareness. Pederson said about 20 UNL students are involved in the project which was started by the Air Force ROTC in Florida. The students will be collecting signatures from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. I 1989 I I Student Football Tickets I I Spring Lottery I I 9:00 am to 12 noon -1:00 pm to 4:00 pm I South Stadium Ticket Office i I Only full-time students with current full-time student fc ID may apply during lottery. § All students, regardless of registration status, are I eligible to apply for tickets after April 7 until 4:00 pm Tuesday, August 29,1989. # | Price: $49.00 Student - $136.00 Spouse Applications available at South Stadium Ticket Office, I 110 Adm(Student Accounts) and East Campus Union I Information Desk. __J le University of Nebraska-Lincoln Cornhusker Marching Band FLAG CORPS AUDITIONS April 4, 5 and 6,1989 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Devaney Sports Center \ Indoor Track Arena • No previous experience required -- you’ll be taught all you need to know for the audition. ♦ All positions are open -- veteran corps members must re-audition. • If you have a conflict, contact the Band Office at 402-472-2505, or instructor Katy Coleman at 402-643-6451. * Dress for movement and wear tennis shoes. * Equipment will be provided, but bring a pike if you have one. * The University of Ncbraska-Lincolndoes not discriminate in its academic, admissions, or employment programs and abides by all federal regulations pertaining to same Be a part of the Marching Red! ■ — — “■ “■ “■ 1 1 mm —1 ™1111* ®™ "■ L__■ EXPRESS MAIL INTERNATIONAL SERVICE * Quick * Reliable * Convenient WE DELIVER THE WORLD Denmark PHONE 473-1696 EXPRESS MAIL |S \ _International Service ******* i——:T, I It’s Our Annual I I Spring Fling I And to celebrate, we are ~ 4. ^ offering specials April 5th thru April 9th.
