Selleck residents may make love connections
By Mindy L. Leiter
Staff Reporter
Last week Selleck Quadrangle res
idents took their dates out on the
house.
The Residence Hall Association
voted Sunday
night to give the
residence hall
$65.00 to cover
the costs of a new
program, called
the Dating Game.
The game,
which Selleck
hosted last Wednesday, is a mixer for
students in the hall who wanted to gel

to know students from other floors.
During the Dating Game, contes
tants asked each other questions and
chose who they wanted to date based
on the answers.
Three winningcoupl.es of Sclleck’s
Dating Game were given S25 gift
certificates to Grisanti’s restaurant
and two SI.50 movie passes.
All other participantsqf the Dating
Game were given sets of SI .50 movie
passes.
Total costs of the prizes for the
Dating Game came to SI02.00.
Angie Hoesing, student assistant
for Sclleck Quadrangle, originally
asked RHA in the resolution for RHA
to cover the full SI02.00 cost of the
bating game.
RHA amended the proposal to
$65.00 because RHA members said
they wanted other residence halls to
have the opportunity to use RHA ac
tivity funds. ,
Neihardt President Keith Halsey
said each of the halls should be able to
use RHA funds for their activities.
RHA has $600 in its budget to give
to the halls for activities.
Halsey said giving away the lund
ing on a first-come-first-servc basis
was unfair to other residence halls
who might want to use RHA funding.
Each residence hall should get only
$60, if RHA's activity budget is di
vided equally, Halsey said.
Hoesing said the hall could go to
other sources for the remaining $37
cost of the program.
' In other business, Jill Anderson, “
second vice-president of the Associa
tion of Students of the University of
Nebraska, urged RHA to send stu
dents to the Residence Liaison Com
mittee.
The Residence Liason Committee
is an Organization that facilitates rela
tions between the residence halls and
the greek houses.
Few students had attended meet
ings of the liaison committee this
year. I fat tendance doesn’t increase at
the meetings, Anderson said she would
be forced to dissolve the committee.
UNL to push for library roof repairs
By Stacie Hakel
Staff Reporter
UNL will recommend tolhcNU
Board of Regents lhal Weal here raft
Company of Lincoln replace Love
Library’s old roof with a new one,
an official said.
Howard Parker, manager of Ar
chitectural and Engineering Ser
vices at the University ofNcbras
ka-Lincoln, said the roof above
Love South had cracks and was
leaking water onto the third and
fourth floors, endangering Love
Library’s third-floor archives.
The patched 15-ycar-old roof is
made of tar, insulated material and
concrete, Parker said.
Parker said the Wcathercrafl
Company’s bid of $135,744 must
be approved by the regents at their
Oct. 15 meeting.
Construction can then begin in
three to four weeks, depending on
the weather, Parker said.
“It all depends on if we have an
early winter,” Parker said. “II' it
gels really cold, there's a possibil
ity that we might have todo it in the
spring."
The Wcathercrafl Company ex
peels lo complete the project in 180
days, Parker said.
Until construction can begin,
the roof is being patched and will
continue to be patched, Parker said.
If the repairs are approved.
Chancellor Graham Spanicr will
provide SI 50,000 of his discretion
ary funds for the new roof. The
Nebraska Legislature will provide
SI 5,000.
“It’s deteriorating to the point
where maintenance and repair arc
not practical.” Parker said. “You
can only repair something for so
long.”

discussions would be informal rather
than academic.
“What we want is an activity that
would really raise the main issues
without getting into academic details."
she said.
The organr/ers want students to
become interested about the issues.
Herencia said, and ask. questions.
Hcrcncia said she hoped students
who participated would be aware of
what was behind the Native Ameri
can tradition — the wisdom of the
Indian community in regard to family
values, environmental concerns and
spirituality.
“There’s still a lesson to be
learned,” she said.

flying roundhouse kicks, hurled blades
at targets and smashed baseball bats
to pieces with their shins.
Nippon ShobuKai club members
gave a sparring demonstration in
Sholokan Karate, the self-defense
style that UNL offers classes in.
“Look at the long stances,” Todd
said. “Sholokan Karate is known for
those.”
“Shotokan’sa very, very fast style.”
Wall Jensen, the co-master of cere
monies, said. “If you blink, you might
miss something.”
Other members of the UNL com
munity displayed their martial arts
prowess as well.
UNL student Shan-Chucn Lin. who
performed a Tai Chi kala, or routine,
was oik'of the few mart lal artists who
displayed a Chinese martial art,
Shan, a graduate student in electri
cal engineering, performed thesword
swishmg “Flying Goose” kala, which
emulates the bird’s strength, speed
and flight pattern.
“The sword is the supreme weapon
m Chinese martial arts,” Jensen said.
Todd said Shin Tai Cii was not
designed solely to give martial artists
the opportunity to simply strut their
stuff. It served a much deeper pur
pose.
“We want you to go home tonight
with the idea that martial arts is about
respect; it’s about sportsmanship; it’s
about getting along with people,”
Todd said. “It’s not about violence or
what kind of moves you can put on
somebody.”
Tour
Continued from Page 1
Patterson, a one-year veteran of
the traveling troupe, said there was
more to the tours than their official
purpose providing entertainment for
U.S. armed forces.
Aside from performing in about
two shows a day, he said, the group
visited with audiences after shows
and went sightseeing and picnicking
with them.
“Some of those people are exactly
our age," Patterson said. “We got to
missing our homes and families after
two weeks. Those people had been
there for years."
He said mil itary audiences were so
excited to talk toother Americans that
“stupid, silly things,” such as music
and McDonald’s, often became top
ics of “great discussion.”
“People really appreciated what
we did,” Patterson said. “People came
up to us and said how happy they were
that we had come and that they were
hoping and praying we’d be back next
year. That really put in perspective
the reason for our trip.”
But the appreciation shown by the
troops for the singers didn’t compare
to the appreciation gained by the sing
ers for the U.S. mil itary, group mem
bers said.
Washburn, a junior vocal perfor
mance major, said she gained a beltei
understanding of the military.
“It makes you feel like these peo
ple are really doing something for our
country,” she said.
Tra vis Turpin, a sen ior spcec h com -
municalions and history major, said
he didn’t realize what the American
troops were all about before he went
on the tour.
“Not only do they protect us, but
they keep us secure,” Turpin said.
“When you walk out and salute them,
they’re ready to get back to work.
That makes me. proud.”
This winter’s tour will be Turpin’s
third with the group.
He said the group performed for
audiences ranging from 10 to 300
people.
The group will perform the same
show that it performed in Europe for
the Panama and Honduras audiences.
Washburn said the wide variety of
music in the show contributed to the
group’s success.
“We hit a lot of people in the
crowd.” she said. “That’s why we got
such a good response.”
All but one member of the group
will be returning for their second or
third tour. Washburn said the group
would begin practicing soon so the
newest member. Bill Stelzcr.'can loam
the show.
Members of the group said the
tours abroad w'ere a great learning
experience, a lot of hard work — and
a lot of fun.
“This particular job has been the
most exciting j,ob I’ve ever had.”
Patterson said. “I feel fortunate to do
what I really enjoy doing and travel
ing and getting paid. It almost seems
unfair.”
