the scene before they arrived.
Epting, 33, was later cited for
leaving the scene of an accident,
improper registration and no
proof of financial rcsponsibil
ity.
The accident left Soucie’s
friends and family with only
memories of a high school star
and questions about his death.
In high school, Soucie al
ways had dreamed of playing
Division I football, McCabe
said.
Soucie played his biggest
game in his home state,
McCabe said. Family and
friends traveled to Lincoln on
Nov. 13,1993, when Iowa State
played the Huskers at Memorial
Stadium.
No one was sure whether
Soucie would even get in the
game, McCabe said.
He came off the bench to
rush for 92 yards on 14 carries.
“He had a great day. That
game was kind of the epitome
of his college career.”
McCabe will deliver
Soucie’s eulogy on Tuesday at
10 a.m. at St. Cecilia’s Catho
lic Church. But he won’t talk
about sports highlights, he said.
Instead, he’ll try to answer
some of the questions asked by
Soucie’s family and friends
about what they should learn
from his death.
“Jeff believed in the sacred
ness of life,” McCabe said. “He
had an untimely death, a very
premature deatn, but he led a
good life and had such a posi
tive outlook ... We’ll be richer
because we knew him.”

bling experience to overbeat, because
everybody looks at you.”
Playing the drums for events like
the powwow also requires a lot of
practice, he said. Means said he spent
about three hours a week practicing.
He gets together with the other
Wakiya Singers once a week.
Besides the dancers and drum
mers, several prominent American
Indian artists attended the powwow.
Laurie Houseman of the Winnebago
and Santee Sioux tribes, who painted
a mural for the 1992 World’s Fair in
Seville, Spain, sold her watercolor
paintings during the event.
Flores, whose works have been
seen as far away as Germany, said she
was recruited by the best ail schools
in the country but chose to return to
Nebraska to help promote American
Indian art.
“Art is our culture — that’s where
it is,” she said.
Flores said the powwow’s purpose
was to keep the American Indian cul
ture strong.
“We come together so we don’t
lose who we are or forget where we
came from,” she said.
Food bank starts new program
By Cittwrin* Blalock
Staff Reporter
A new program will allow the
Food Bank of Lincoln to pick up
food that has been prepared but not
served by local restaurants, cater
ers and cafeterias.
As a part of the Daily Harvest
program, refrigerated trucks will
pick up the donated food and de
liver it directly to charities that
serve meals. The charities include
homeless shelters, soup kitchens
and day-care centers.
Wende Baker, executive direc
tor of the Food Bank of Lincoln,
said it had taken about a year to
plan the program.
In preparation, the Lincoln
Food Bank observed similar pro
grams in smaller cities, such as
Boulder, Colo. The program there
took in 40,000 pounds of food dur
ing its first year and 100,000
pounds the following year.
Baker said Daily Harvest would
distribute food to shelters such as
the Gathering Place and
Daywatch. The City Mission will
get none of the food, because it al
ready collects its own perishable
and prepared food, she said.
Before the program began, each
shelter had to pick up the perish
able food that was donated to the
food bank. Now, the food bank will
pick up and distribute the prepared
and perishable food.
The program was made possible
partly by the The Rogers Founda
tion and the Solar Club. Each or
ganization donated $5,000 to help
the food bank purchase a refriger
ated truck.
Sterling Advertising developed
a name and logo, and the Lincoln
Jaycees donated equipment, such
as aluminum pans.
The Lincoln Health Department
has provided education on food
handling safety and has helped the
food bank in the first days of the
program.
Baker said United Way of Lin
coln Lancaster County had pledged
to raise up to 40 percent of the
$25,000 annual operating cost.
The food bank made its first
stop at Southeast Community Col
lege on Nov. 17. The college do
nated three tubs of soup and 16
burritos, Baker said.
“We raised enough food to feed
16 people,” she said.
Only three restaurants will do
nate prepared food, Baker said.
These include the Southeast Com
munity College cafeteria, the
Eleven Club and the Rotisserie.
“We are looking for more res
taurants to be regular donors,”
Baker said.

finish their studies, Hayes said.
Gary Westergren, senior vice
president of HWS Consulting Group
Inc., said he also opposed the creation
of a second college in Omaha.
“As a citizen of this state and a
taxpayer and engineer and employee,
I’m concerned that we don’t have the
population base and revenue base to
support a second college if we want
to continue to pursue excellence,'’ he
said.

study the issue.
Eric Carstenson, senior vice presi
dent of the Lincoln Chamber of Com

posed the creation of a second col

Husker band to spend
St. Pat’s Day in Dublin
By ItolH Bui—y
Staff Reporter
For the first time in 20 years, the
Nebraska Cornhuskcr Marching
Band will travel overseas and show
the Irish the pride of Nebraska.
The Lord Mayor of Ireland invited
the band to participate in the St.
Patrick’s Day parade in Dublin as a
representative for the United States.
John Klocckcr, the wind ensemble
conductor and director of the
Cornhuskcr Marching Band, said the
band had begun raising money in a
project called “Dollars for Dublin.”
The trip to Dublin will cost about
$ 1,500 per band member, and the to
tal cost will be about $400,000.
If ail band members arc able to go,
about 300 students will make the trip
to Ireland.
Once in Ireland, the marching
band will perform as part of the pa
rade. The wind ensemble also will
perform in the International Concert
Band festival at the Historic National
Concert Hall in Dublin and in the
Limerick International Contest.
Kloeckcr said he hoped to raise
enough money to pay for all band
members' traveling expenses.
Jennifer Franta, a flag line mem
ber who is helping to coordinate pro
motions for the trip, said the univer
sity was not helping to Finance the
trip, so the band must raise the money
itself.
Klocckcr said, “The plan is for
cvciy member of the band to make
the trip to Ireland, with a wide range
of fund-raisers to make it possible for
all to go to Dublin.”
To raise money, the band has or
ganized many events, such as ben
efit dinners and a Christmas steak
sale, he said. . n—Tiiit iumwh
Klocckcr said band members also
were trying to find corporate spon
sors through the “Adopt a Band
Member” effort. For that hind-raiser.
businesses or private groups donate
$1,500 in a band member’s name.
The band also has organized a
raffle with 10 prizes, ranging from a
car stereo to a trip for two to Ireland
with the band, he said.
Klocckcr said the band had not
made an international trip since
1974. The band will leave for Ireland
on March 14 and return on March
21.
