Spirit organization on the rally this fall
By Lisa Sickert
Senior Editor _
. Members of the newly formed UNL
Spirit Club — formerly Com Cobs
and Tassels—began the school year
off a little peppy.
The group conducted a pep rally
Thursday evening at Broyhill Foun
tain to teach students the Nebraska
Yell Squad chants and the words to
the UNL fight song.
Although cheerleaders outnum
bered students who attended, Terri
Nielsen, president of Com Cobs and
Tassels, said she was not disappoint
ed that the crowd was small. Thursday
night was just a “warm-up” for the
weekly pep rallies the group plans,
she said.

“Ifyou’re in graduate school, when
you need to study, you need to study,”
he said.
Although not all upper-class resi
dents have chosen to live away from
freshman floors, many have,
Schumann said.
“They were saying, ‘Hey, I really
don’t want to be a part of the freshman
community. ’ We responded to an iden
tified need,” he said.
The 24-hour visitation was anoth
er request of returning students. Wells
said the new policy had changed the
atmosphere.
When residence hall officials “are
willing to trust you, it makes you feel
like you’re living in an apartment,”
Wells said.
And the increased privacy of the
single-room option for upper-class
students is another benefit for them.
Don Mirabella, a senior in me
chanical engineering, has lived in res
idence halls for six years — many of
those with the same floormates. He
and his friends moved from Cather
Hall to Pound Hall this year.
“Every year I’ve had a fantastic
floor. We’ve become really tight, like

Nielsen, a senior advertising ma
jor, said her group hoped to have pep
rallies every Thursday at 6:30 p.m.
before a home or away football game
and on Tuesday evenings if the game
was not on a Saturday. Later in the
season, athletes and coaches will at
tend, she said.
UNL Spirit Club is a result of Com
Cobs and Tassels merging into one
organization last year, said Sue
Schlautman, a senior and vice-presi
dent of the club.
Com Cobs was organized at the
University of Nebraska in 1921 as a
men’s club to promote school spirit
for all athletics and to foster friend
ship between competing universities,
Schlautman said.
Tassels was formed in 1924 as the
a family,” he said.
Mirabella plans to live on campus
until he graduates. He likes the servic
es, such as cleaning, cooking and
maintenance, that the residence halls
provide.
Donovan Score, a 27-year-old
transfer student from California, has
his own room in Cather. The news
editorial junior likes living with up
per-class students because he feels
more comfortable around older stu
dents.
“Because (the hall is) upperclass
men, people go their own way more
than in other dorms, and they concen
trate more on school,” he said.
Score is especially proud of his
dwelling.
“I have the best dorm room on
campus. It’s my penthouse on 17th
Street.”
Although most residents aren’t as
crazy about their residence halls as
Score, most agree the best part about
living on campus is the convenience.
Wells said the cost of living in
residence halls versus the cost of liv
ing off campus was practically even
when food and transportation costs
were considered.
The cost for a single room with a
13-meal plan is $3,490 a year, or
about $500 a month.

mental in giving women an active
interest in athletics at a time when
there weren’t many organized sports
available for women, she said.
The spirit club meets on Thursdays
in the South Stadium athletic depart
ment lounge from 5-6 p.m. Pep rallies
follow the meetings, Nielsen said.
Anyone interested in becoming in
volved is encouraged to attend, she
said.
Clint Taubenheim, a sophomore in
the Division of General Studies, said,
“The only reason I went to pep rallies
in high school was because I was in
them.”
Taubenheim said he would attend
more pep rallies atBroyhill and bring
his friends when the weather cools.
