UNL fraternity, sorority and resi
dence hall students are developing a
plan they hope will ease misunder
standings among the groups.
Strategic Planning Regarding In
ter-Living-unit Activities, or
SPRIL A, was designed by Residence
Hall Association President J. Matt
Wickless to encourage all university
living units to work together.
In the past, he said, only execu
tives of the groups had the chance to
work together. Any other interaction
has been done on an informal basis,
he said.
Kevin Yost, president of the Intcr
fratemity Council, said this is the first

time the three living-unit organiza
tions have attempted to organize a
long-term working relationship.
IFC approved the plan last week,
Yost said. RHA approved SPRILA

The Panhellcnic Association ap
proved SPRILA Sept. 11, President
Tiffany Scavcrs said.
Seavers said SPRILA will give
students in different living units the
chapee to enhance their relation
ships.
SPRILA is designed as a 12
member joint committee of all three
organizations, Wicklcss said.
Three members will come from
IFC, three from Panheiiemc ana six
from RHA, Seavers said.
Joint committee members will
come from the lower ranks of the
organizations, Wickless said, to pro
mote interaction at all levels.
‘‘We will combine our efforts by
holding programs dealing with issues
that are concerns to all students,”
Seavers said.
Wickless said the joint committee
will be on its own in deciding what
programs it will organize. But Seav
ers and Wickless said they would like
to see the committee conduct a series
of programs dealing with student
diversity. . .
Wickless said he wants to sec joint
programming between SPRILA and
other organizations to cover topics
such as the problems faced by physi
cally challenged students and stu
dents of different races, cultures and
sexual orientation.
RHA has approved allocation ot
$200 for SPRILA, Wickless said.
Seavers and Yost both said their or
ganizations would have to review
their budgets before deciding on fi
nancing.
All three expressed hope in
SPRILA’s success and the possibility
that the committee will become a
separate student organization.

Something old, something new
to unite Hispanic community
By Cindy Wostrel
Staff Reporter
The new president of the UNL
Mexican-American Student Asso
ciation is planning something old
and something new to bring the
Hispanic community together.
Frank Sanchez said that as both
the president of MASA and the
coordinator for educational pro
gramming for the Hispanic Com
munity Center he will be able to tie
the Lincoln Hispanic community
more closely to the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln Hispanic com
munity.
But he said he also plans to
continue programs that last year’s
executive committee worked on.
“One of my goals is just to meet
their standards,’’ Sanchez said.
To tie the Lincoln and UNL
Hispanic communities more
closely together, Sanchez said he
wants to have functions such as
dinners and dances, and share in
formation between the groups.
This year, MASA members al
ready have celebrated Mexican
Independence Day and attended a
banquet with UNL counselor
Marty Ramirez, Omaha senators
and Omaha Mayor P.J. Morgan,
Sanchez said.
MASA is planning to host a
reception Thursday in the Ne
braska Union Centennial Room foi
Henry Cisneros, former mayor ol
San Antonio, Texas, Sanchez said
Cisneros will speak about educa
tion and the future of urban minori
ties.
This year MASA has about 3f
members, which is up five time:
from membership two years ago
Sanchez said.'It now involve:
about 18 percent of all Hispani<
students on campus, a numbe
which includes Chicanos, Cubans
Latinos, Puerto Ricans and Mexi
can-Americans.
Sanchez attributed the mem
bership increase to both recruit
ment and word-of-mouth. All but
one member returned this year
from last year’s organization, he
said. Sanchez said he hopes to
increase membership by recruiting
about 15 members this year.
Like last year, the group plans
to sell sweaters in the union as a
fund-raiser Oct. 13 through 16.
Another event the group will
participate in this year is the an
nual cultural food fest Nov. 10.
MASA wants to send members
to conventions in Chicago, Al
buquerque, N.M, and Lansing,
Mich. He said MASA has repre
sented UNL well in the past at
these conventions.
‘‘A lot (of people across the
country) are surprised to sec active
Mexicans in the Midwest,” San
chez said.
Last year, MASA helped recruit
students from western Nebraska
where there is a high number of
Hispanic students, Sanchez said.
He said UNL is losing students
from that region to the University
of Wyoming, which actively re
cruits students from that area.
Many students decide to attend the
University of Wyoming because it
is closer to their homes and be
cause they don’t know much about
UNL.
‘‘We took it upon ourselves
because not enough was being
done,” Sanchez said. ‘‘We’d like a
to sec more Hispanic students gg
(coming to UNL).”
MASA is open to all students on
1 campus, Sanchez said. Members jj
i include student assistants in the jj
, housing complexes, New Student jj
> Enrollment hosts, teachers and jj
: returning students, Sanchez said. jj
r Meetings are Wednesdays at 7 I
