Homecoming boosts school spirit
By Angie Schendt
Staff Reporter
As the lawn displays for home
coming go up, so does sehool spirit.
“It is up especially now because
we’re the defend
ing national cham
pions,” said Shari
Reimer, a junior
speech pathology
major and chair
woman of the
Wacky Olympics
for the University
Program Council.
“Even the fair
weather fans are
into it,” she said, “as well as the die
hards.”
Reimer said she thought school
spirit would remain high for the rest of
the season—thanks to the camarade
rie created during homecoming, she
said.
“It brings people together,” Reimer
said. “They take time out of their busy
schedules to work on the projects.”
Rcimer said her'sorority, Kappa
Delta, would participate in all of the
events.
That involvement is reflective of
other homecomingparticipants. Ofthe
30 teams in the Wacky Olympics,
only three arc residence hall teams,
she said, and three others are student
organizations. The rest arc greek
teams.
Rebecca Johnson, a freshman un
declared major, is on the Husker Howl
dance team for Sandoz Residence Hall.
She said she might go to the bonfire,
but she wished there were other activi
ties.
“It doesn’t seem like there’s a lot to
do other than that,” she said.
Johnson said she tried to get foot
ball tickets for Saturday’s game, but
the sellers wanted $140 per ticket.
“I feel like I’mmissingoulon some
thing because 1 don’t have football
tickets,” she said.
Freshman Joe Hurley, a construc
tion management major, said more
people should get involved in home
coming.
“It should include people other than
sororities and fraternities,” said
Hurley, a member of Sigma Nu.
But he said it might be hard for
people outside the grcek system to
know about homecoming because it
was not publicized enough.
Hurley was helping build the frame
of Sigma Nu’s float Tuesday after
noon, but he said he could not release
the secret of what it would be.
Sigma Nu started work on the float
Monday night. It has a budget of $200
for the display, Hurley said, and the
fraternity probably will spend all of it.
The lawn displays have to be com
pleted by noon Friday.
Hurley said the atmosphere of
homecoming made the week and game
different from others.
“It is building up to be the greatest
football game of the year so far for
Nebraska,” he said.
ASUN to focus on fountain, advising
By Kasey Kerber
Staff Reporter
ASUN will focus tonight’s meet
ingonwhat will replace Broyhill Foun
tain.
The architecture firm of Sinclair
Hille and Associ
ates/ Kasaki Asso
ciates has been
chosen to design
the Nebraska
Union expansion
and renovation. A
university project
committee will be
formed to give the
firm input.
One Association
of Students of the University of Ne
braska senator will be allowed to join
the committee and share ideas gath
ered from the senate and the student
body.
“We want to get student input on
this issue,” said ASUN President
Shawntell Hurtgen. “Wemightpossi
bly do a survey to find out where this
issue is going.”
ASUN also will discuss expanding
East Campus parking. Hurtgen met
with the Parking Advisory Committee
Tuesday afternoon and will discuss
the committee’s decision at the meet
ing.
Also to be discussed is advising.
Hurtgen will bring three proposals to
the Admissions and Advising Com
mittee on Oct. 25, and the committee
will vote on them at that time.
This is the second time Hurtgen *
has approached the committee; the
first visit prompted a revision of
ASUN’s original proposals.
“I will be proposing training or
publication to all members of the fac
ulty, documentation for advisers to
sign stating what advice they gave and
a universal, simplistic waiver form for
all colleges,” Hurtgen said.
ASUN also will continue with its
protest efforts against student loan
cuts.
“We arc beginning to run out of
time,” Hurtgen said.
“We’re recommending that students
make phone calls. We have all the
numbers of Congressmen in both
houses, and students can contact us at
the ASUN office to obtain them.”
Men
Continued from Page 1
“We need to hit those men twice as
much,” Cervantes-Salomons said.
Kauffman agreed.
“We have to work harder at getting
them down here,” she said.
Kauffman said the men the NHRI
program did attract were wonderful
and made excellent role models.
“They’re really into relationship
building,” she said.
Gino Venegas, a senior psychology
major, volunteers for the Lincoln Ac
tion Program. He said he joined the
program because his career would be
working with adolescent youth.
“I want to make a difference in a
young person’s life,” he said.
Venegas was able to get a male
friend of his to join the program but
said he did not know why the programs
lacked males.
He encouraged other men to join a
program.
“I would tell them to try and make
a difference in a person’s life,” he said.
“Think of when they were younger and
how much difference a mentor would
have been to them,”
Men wanted volunteers. I

Venegas said adolescence was a
difficult time for both boys and girls,
and it was important to give them posi
tive role models.
“With the struggles of emerging
gangs and drugs here in Lincoln, they
need as much help as they can get,” he
said. “And everyone can help.”
