Casino Continued from Page 3 money. After paying a $3 admission price, participants are given $3,000 to $4,000 in fake money, Kringel said. But, he said, if a participant loses that money, he or she can ask for more. In the past, the fraternity used this argument to persuade county attor neys that Casino Night, which has been held off and on since 1974, was legal, Kringel said. Griesen said he informed Lacey that the fraternity planned to continue Publications Continued from Page 1 often than those published by univer sities and scholarly groups. Webster said the median price of subscriptions for academic journals has risen 10 percent in the last year. The increases in subscription rates have exceeded inflation, and libraries have not been able to keep up, Web ster said. He said the average library now has the same number of journal subscriptions as it had in 1985, but pays 43 percent more for them. Agnes Adams, collection manage ment coordinator and associate pro fessor of libraries at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, said UNL has had to cut into its book budget for several years to keep periodical subscriptions at the same level. “Somewhere along the line, some this policy. “I thought their proposition seemed reasonable,” Griesen said. But Lacey rejected this argument, Griesen said, and gave event organiz ers two options: Accept donations but charge nothing to attend the event, which would allow people to gamble and legally use their winnings to buy prizes in the auction, or charge ad mission and hold a lottery for prizes. Kringel said he and fraternity Presi dent John Morrow chose the latter because about $2,100 worth of tickets had already been sold. Kringel said he was afraid ticket holders would want their money back and that donations would not cover thing is going to have to give (in the library budget),” Adams said. UNL receives nearly 18,000 peri odicals. Adams said she gets ads and sample copies of new periodicals all the time. ‘‘In just about any discipline, the faculty could list the titles of more periodicals they would like us to get,” she said. “The proliferation does hurt. How many journals can we support? Webster said one reason for the increase in journals on the market is the nature of scholarly research itself. “There is tremendous pressure on faculty to publish,” Webster said. “Often promotions, grants and ten ure depend on how often someone has been published.” Reasons for the price increases, Webster said, include fluctuation of the value of the dollar and publisher behavior. the cost of the band and room. “We felt we could give up the auction more than we could give up admission,’’ he said. Donations also wouldn’t leave much money to give to charity - the pur pose for holding the event, Kringel said. If the fraternity would have re fused to change the format of Casino Night, Griesen said he would have had to bar them from using the union. Despite the altered format, Krin gel and Griesen agreed that atten dance was as large as ever. The fraternity might hire an attor ney next year to challenge the county attorney’s decision, he said. Many academic journals are pub lished in foreign countries, and the weakened value of the U.S. dollar causes some price increases for those journals, Webster said. Publisher behavior probably is the biggest reason for the sharp increases in subscription rates, Webster said. “The profiteering nature of scien tific publishers is a major problem,” he said. In a study of four commercial publishers, the association took a random sample of the publishers’ titles over the last 10 years and in every case found price increases in excess of inflation rales. The highest increase over inflation was 13 percent, and the lowest was 5 percent, Webster said, titles of more periodicals they would like us to get. The proliferation does hurt. How many journals can we support?” Vote Continued from Page 1 Presidential candidates Phil Gosch of the VISION party and Deb Fid delke of the TODAY party both said they initially supported the idea as a way to get more students to vole, but agreed it is not the answer. “In the long run, it seems we’re getting them to vote for the wrong reason,” Gosch said. “They need to vote for results and programs. ‘‘It’s not the magic answer. It’s a perk.” Fiddelke said she shares some of Griesen’s concerns, but believes the publicity that the idea is getting will increase student awareness of the election. ‘‘I don’t think that many students will vote because of the discounts,’’ Fiddelke said. “I still have to applaud Joe for doing anything to increase voter turnout.” Last year, about 12 percent of the student body voted in ASUN elec tions.
