thought I yras lucky to live

have so much, and they have so
little. Now I think many of us have
too much.

Barbara Arendt, a travel consult
ant at Four Seasons Travel Agency,
said Lincoln-Miami airfare alone
would cost about $469, and a hotel in
a safe part of Miami can run $100 a
night.
“Things get really expensive this
time of year in Florida,” she said.
“Everybody tries to take advantage of
the situation.”
Roundtrip Greyhound bus fare
costs $233. For those willing to drive
themselves, the 1,600-mile trip could
cost about $60 each way, based on 30
miles per gallon gas mileage.
Comhuskers who want to travel in
style might check into packages put
together by’Mocal travel agencies.
Arendt said several were available
around town.
For instance, Travel and Transport
Travel Agency offers Orange Bowl
tickets, round-trip airfare to Ft. Lau
derdale, Fla., transportation to the
game and a three night stay in a hotel
for $689. More expensive packages
might include tourist activities such
as side trips through the Florida Ever
glades.
Arendt said packages weren’t sell
ing as well this year as in past years.
Media hype about Miami murders put
a damper on many Orange Bowl pi ans,
she said.
“It’s in the back of everyone’s
mind,” she said. “I think it’s affected
the Orange Bowl trips.”

can values. Tucked in this over
populated, under-employed, mal
nourished, disease-infected metrop
olis is a shining light of hope.
That light is one that would in
spire me, reinforce my dreams and
provide me with an example of
success through focus, determina
tion, hard work and faith.
That light is MotherTcresa, who
leads hundreds of her Sisters of
Mercy, volunteers, lepers, orphans
and the dying destitute to a window
of hope.
The only way 1 can share my
experiences is to relive them:
1 arrive in Calcutta, one of the
largest and most polluted cities in
the world: 16 million folks. Com
ing from a Midwestern town of
6,000 people, 16 million Indians is
incomprehensible.
But I think I sec every one of
them.
They arc everywhere — run
ning into me, trying to sell me
drugs, women, a hotel room, a ba
nana, a shoe-shine, a taxi. Some are
just plain staring at me.
I pick up a biography of the
modern-day saint Mother Teresa.
As I read about her, I find myself in
tears. The stories of how she started
the home for the dying set my
emotions loose.
My feelings are compounded by
the overwhelming poverty 1 sec
around me — images of mangled
beggars lying in the footpath as 1
step over them to reach my seem
ingly luxurious hotel.
But while many Indians arc poor
in material goods and health, they
arc rich in faith. Mother Teresa,
popular Hindu temples and Mus
1 im mosques stand as testaments of
their religious devotion.
I know that today, Sunday, will
be the best day to meet Mother

Amy Schroder wasn’t exactly
thrilled to learn her dream of
becoming an elementary teach
er would require an added year
of school.
“It doesn’t make me happy, that’s
for sure,” she said. “It’s an extra year
that I’m going to have to apply for
loans.”
Her goal of being a teacher kept
her from giving up, she said.
“Teaching is something I’ve al
ways wanted to do,” Schroder said.
“I’m willing to do it.”
Now she and her husband, who is
also applying to the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln elementary educa
tion program, are trying to squeeze in
a few hours of volunteer work along
with a part-time job in hopes of in
creasing their chances of acceptance
into the program.
“My husband and I both feel this

County won’t
file charges
in accident,
Griesen says
From Staff Reports
No criminal charges will be filed
in connection with JefTKnoll’s
fall from a Phi Gamma Delta
window, the UNL vice chancellor for
student affairs said Monday.
James Griescn said Lancaster
County Attorney Gary Lacey dec ided
not to prosecute Fiji fraternity mem
bers, who university officials say
forced Knoll to drink.
“That didn’t surprise mc,”Griesen
said of the decision to not file charges.
Griescn said there was no evidence of
intent to physically harm Knoll, a 19
ycar-old freshman from Ogallala.
Knoll’s family did not want any
students to have a criminal record as
a result of the incident, Griescn said.
