Nebraska is set to take on the Colorado Buffaloes the following day at 11 a.m. Six-hundred pounds of wood will be set ablaze in a nine-foot horse tank, said senior psychology major Cami Wacker, who is in charge of the pep rally. “There hasn’t been one in many, many years,” Wacker said. “That's why we’re excited. And we hope that the students get excited, and it raises spirit for homecoming.” Heroes and Villains, a local alter native band, will play before the fire. Wacker said. In addition, the home coming royalty candidates and the “Husker Howl” winners will perform. “We’re excited to bring back this old-time tradition to UNL,” Wacker said of the bonfire.

After more than 50 calls, he bought six tickets for $70 to $75 each. Kirby said he didn’t expect to pay more than $85 for a ticket because he received so many responses. The high est anyone requested for a ticket was $200. Casey Eason, a sophomore busi ness administration major, also ad vertised two tickets in the Daily Ne braskan, but he said no one offered enough money. He said he planned to advertise in The Omaha World-Her ald. “This (campus) just wasn’t the right market for it. There are people in Omaha who will pay $200 for tickets,” Eason said. Bell said Colorado-Nebraska foot ball tickets had been popular for sev eral years, much like Oklahoma tick ets were in the past. “It was just as tight last year,” Bell said. Officers Continued from Page 1 University Police Chief1 Ken Cauble said the perception of the of ficers as an alcohol patrol was wrong. “Their main function is a security function and nothing else,” he said. “If there are no problems in the house, then they shouldn’t worry about them coming around.” The houses that complained the most about the program were the houses that had the most complaints filed against them, Cauble said. There have been fewer disturbance calls this semester than in years past, Cauble said. He said he did not know if the drop was because of the officers. Ashley Finley, president of the Delta Gamma Sorority, said the CSOs were good for the safety of women on campus. £he also said some members of soforities were talking about the of ficers being an alcohol patrol. She said, however, she didn’t know of a house where officers cited members for alcohol violations. Jeff Erickson, president of the Al pha Tau Omega Fraternity, said the addition of the CSO patrols were something that had to be done. “I’m in support of it, as long as they are doing their jobs,” he said UNL student sexually assaulted From Stiff R«poft» A female UNL student was sexu ally assaulted Friday afternoon near the Beadle Center, University Police reported.
