approved; DN denied

The Committee for Fees Alloca
tion approved the budget request of
ASUN and denied that of the Daily
Nebraskan Tuesday night.
The Association of Students of the
University of Nebraska requested a
5.29 percent increase. The request
passed unanimously and will go to the
ASUN senate for approval Feb. 23.
The committee denied the Daily
Nebraskan’s request for a 12 percent
increase in student fees.
CFA Vice Chairman John Barrett
said he called the newspaper’s print
ing company to ask about the rising
printing costs. The printing company
said costs would not rise until 1995,
Barrett said.
“As far as I knew, there was a

system by stamping out hazing.
“I believe the fraternal system can
be a great benefit to college students,
and it should be protected and im
proved,” he said. “Its value for under
graduates and its wholesome tradi
tion should be guarded.”
Matzke, who witnessed hazing
while he was a collegiate member of
the greek system, said he had been a

had not been any cases of frostbite or
hypothermia reported.
“Everybody seems to be taking
care of themselves pretty well,” he
said.

Wittwer was on active duty in the
Middle East when he and the other
members of his 172nd Transportation
Unit got a strange order.
“We were told to break out a new
chemical suit,” Wittwer said. “We
didn’t have a ton of them and they
were only good for a limited amount
of time. It was an unusual enough
order, so we knew what would hap
pen.”
After the order “everyone turned
on the military radio and sat around
it,” Wittwer said. “It was sort of a
circus.”
For Wittwcr’s parents, the panic
had just started. Interviewed the night
the war started, they were praying and
trying to stay calm. Their son relumed
nine and one-half months later.
In the following months, concern
for family and friends in the military,
debate on whether the motive for the
war was an economic one or one of
human rights and talk of a draft lin
gered on campus.
“I was seriously wondering how
far it was going to go,” Adams said. “I
was concerned for the people, but I
was also concerned about what was
going to happen to me."
The university hosted several fo
rums on the war. Peace protesters
marched to the Nebraska Capitol
chanting “1,23,4, we don’t want no
bloody war,” and carrying signs that
read “No Blood for Big Oil.
Banners displaying support for the
troops decorated campus, and yellow
ribbons—including a giant one draped
across the entrance to Architecture
Hall—called for their safe and speedy
return.
Peace activists were arrested for
spray painting anti-war slogans on
sidewalks across campus. “War is !
stupid," “Impeach Bush,” and “Bush
Kills,” were among messages the van
dals had painted.
Perhaps Jeff Gorder, who, as the
Residence Hall Association’s social
chairman in 1991, organized a Yel
low Ribbon Dance in support of the
troops and their families, best reflect
ed the campus atmosphere during the
Persian Gulf War.
“We can’t unite on whether the
war is right or wrong, but we can agree
on concern for Americans.”
significant chance that (costs) would
increase,” Jeremy Fitzpatrick, Daily
Nebraskan editor, said. “It was our
understanding that (the printers) were
going to ask for an increase.”
The committee voted to deny the
request.
The University Program Council
and a representative from the Lied
Center for the Performing Arts also
presented a 4.15 percent UPC budget
increase before the CFA Tuesday.
Robert Chumbley, director of the
Lied Center, asked CFA to support
UPC’s subsidy of student tickets.
If CFA does not continue its sup
port of the ticket subsidy, Chumbley
said, it would be difficult for the Lied
Center to continue the 50 percent
student discount.
The request will be voted on Thurs
day.
longtime opponent of hazing.
Griesen and former Interfratemity
Council President Scott Bunz also
conferred with Matzke on the bill.
Griesen said it would make greek
house members think twice before
getting involved in hazing in the fu
ture.
Matzke agreed.
“If it is enacted,” he said, “it will
compel the leaders of fraternities to
impress upon their membership that
traditional hazing is illegal and has to
be eliminated.”
LaBeau said students needed to
dress warmly, with hats and scarves to
block the wind and to avoid frostbite.
Students should stay away from
alcohol, he said, because it makes the
body more susceptible to cold.
“ Yourbody loses heat because your
blood vessels dilate,” he said. “You
become hypothermic faster.”
