About 350 people got a taste of
food, clothes, music and crafts at
the fifth annual International Ba
zaar Wednesday and Thursday in
the Nebraska Union.
Fifteen countries were repre
sented by students and international
organizations at the bazaar, spon
sored by the University of Ncbraska
Lincoln International Student
Organization.
Pat Johnson, program coordina
tor of International Education Serv
ices, an independent organization,
said the bazaar promoted cultural
awareness.
“It’s done to give people a chance
to learn about other cultures,” she
said. ‘‘People love the food and
buy the crafts.”
Nickcttc Allen, senior Spanish
major and ISO representative, said
the bazaar is growing each year.
Last year only seven or eight coun
tries were represented.
The Australian table sold T-shirts
with Australian designs and say
ings.
Damian Smith, a senior finance
major from Australia, who arrived
at UNL in January, said he thought
the bazaar would be a good time to
share the Australian culture with
Americans.
“We brought things that we
thought Americans would like,”
he said.
Besides T-shirts and jewelry,
bazaar-goers had the opportunity

200 gallons of water flood Andrews
By Doug Isakson

Books, records, periodicals and
furniture in Andrews Hall were ru
ined Wednesday and Thursday be
cause of a leaky roof and a broken
drain pipe.
Frederick Link, chairman of Uni
versity of Nebraska-Lincoln English
department, said the roof began to
leak Wednesday on the south-centra I
side of the building.
By noon, Link said, workers had
cleaned up most of the water with
vacuum cleaners and mops.
But Richard McDermott, director
of the physical plant, said a drainpipe,
used to direct water off the roof, buckled
Thursday night, causing most of the
rain water on the roof to drain through
the same leak.
According to the National Weather
Service, Lincoln accumulated a little
more than an inch ol rain Tuesday
through Thursday.
MeDermou said about 200 gallons
of water leaked into the building
Wednesday and Thursday. He said
temporary repairs were in place, but
the leaks could not be fixed perma
nently until dry weather.
Link said no major equipment, such
as computers, was damaged. He said
the offices of Robert Bergstrom, as
sociate professor of English, and Gerry
Brookes, professor of English, received
the most damage.
Water stained the ceilings, walls
and floors. After the flood, books and
papers were laid out on tables to dry
and furniture was pushed away from
the walls.
Bergstrom said about two inches
of water were on the floor of his
second-floor office Thursday mom
ing;
“When I came in this morning
(Thursday), there was water running
out the door,” Bergstrom said. “It
was much worse than yesterday
(Wednesday).”
Bergstrom said the water destroyed
editing records he was working on
and files of class materials.
