Drug bill not effective, opponents say j

“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

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.
