Alpha Phi Omega National Ser
vice Fraternity is receiving its char
ter today from the fraternity’s na
tional office.
The University of Nebraska
Lincoln’s Alpha Sigma chapter has
been petitioning for the charter for
three semesters.
“It’s ... an accomplishment to
get it done finally,” said Lowell
Schlenker, section chair and
founder of the UNL chapter.
Schlenker said to get the char
ter the chapter had to fulfill re
quirements given by the national
office. These included a certain
number of service projects to the
campus, the community and the
nation. Alpha Phi Omega, founded
in 1925, has more than 300 chap
ters nationwide.
Last semester, the chapter com
pleted three major projects, as well
as several smaller ones:
• Members helped the Red
Cross in September with a project
to help move elderly people into a
special nursing home.
• Another project involved help
ing with a yard sale to raise funds for
a UNL child care center in October.
• Recently, an elderly woman
needed anew furnace forherhome,
but the furnace company refused
to install it until her basement was
cleaned. The fraternity cleaned her
basement, which had accumulated
a lifetime of possessions.
Members are planning to kick
off a recruiting drive in two weeks,
and hope to add 20 members to
their 50 person roster. They will
hold informational meetings and
make posters to attract interest.
Schlenker encouraged students
to check out the fraternity.
“We’re really an active group,
and we’re always looking for
people who want to get involved
with the community and the cam
pus,” he said.

Merchandise

hoped,” he said.
Cornell said store officials had
started planning and ordering ship
ments in September in hopes that NU
would end die season in the top spot.
Store officials continued ordering
the merchandise through December,
he said, with the condition that if the
Huskers lost, die orders would be
void.
With the win, Cornell isall smiles.
‘‘Our opinion is (business) will be
really strong the first two weeks, then
it goes to excellent ... then good,”
Cornell said.
Shelley Lee, co-owner of The Pro
Image, said the same held true at
Gateway Mall. Sales have been con
stant, and with students back in town,
no letdown is in sight, she said.
Any dollar estimate on how much
has been sold isn’t possible, she said,
because the cash register has yet to
stop ringing.
Once the registers are silent, NU
will go home with 12 percent of the
gross wholesale cost of every prod
uct sold, Bahl said.
But with success comes problems.
Given the money involved, boot
legging is common and widespread,
Bahl said. The athletic department
updates its list of manufacturers li
censed to sell NU goods daily, he
said. It does its best to check retailers
just as often. But with goods being
sold in every possible location, even
out of motel rooms, those checks
become difficult.
Bahl said unlicensed products had
been seized from Scottsbluff to
Omaha. A batch was confiscated in
Miami shortly before the Hurricanes
kicked off, he said.
Bahl said past years paled when
compared to die attention Nebraska
was receiving now — or even two
months prior to the championship
Orange Bowl.
Even officials with Collegiate Li
censing Company, which handles the
initial stages of any request, said they
believed Nebraska would break sales
records and set a few of its own, Bahl
said.
Comparisons have been drawn to
Arkansas winning the National Bas
ketball Championship last year, Bahl
said.
“That state went crazy,” he said.
“And this one is, too.”
Test

answers, which they presented to
ETS. Mack said Kaplan suggested
improving security procedures and
increasing the question pool.
Mack said that when Kaplan first
brought the problem to ETS, the
service complimented them on find
ing the flaw. However, she said,
when ETS fell into bad publicity it
‘ shot the messenger.
ETS filed a lawsuit against Kaplan
citing violation of copyright laws,
breach of contract, fraud and the
federal electronic communication
privacy act.
According to an ETS release,
Kaplan “unlawfully obtained ques
tions” from the GRE tests. The re
lease states that all GRE computer
ized test takers sign an agreement to
maintain the confidentiality of all
questions.
Kaplan revealed the questions
only to ETS administrators, Mack
said, and not to its students.
“They used the lawsuit to make it
look like Kaplan created the prob
lem,” she said. “If you have a flawed
test, it’s the fault of your own.”
Kaplan was concerned about the
cheating because it wanted to assure
security for its students. Mack said.
ETS spokesman Kevin Gonzalez
declined to comment on the
company’s actions.
