Boulder full
of activities
By Jeff Zeleny
Senior Reporter
Nebraska fans have much more
to eat and stomp on than buffalo
this weekend in Boulder, Colo.
When a flock of students and
Comhusker faithful travels west to
the Rockies for the annual Ne
braska-Colorado football show
down, a mile-high city full of food,
fun and music awaits.
Boulder, which The Denver Post
hails as “The little town nestled
between the mountains and real
ity,” is alive with excitement. The
eight-hour drive from Lincoln may
not turn you into Colorado fans,
but it wili almost certainly make
you crave a return visit.
Nebraska sold its ticket allot
ment of4,000 almost immediately,
said Nebraska Ticket Manager
Cindy Bell. About 800 students
also purchased tickets to watch
No. 2 Nebraska play No. 7 Colo
rado. The game is televised on
ABC (Channel 7) at 2:30 p.m. Sat
urday.
If you are going to Boulder,
follow this Daily Nebraskan guide
~ to a thrilling wOTrnT. If you’re
not, read on with envy.
Downtown Boulder — located
a few blocks away from Folsom
Field on the University of Colo
rado campus — is the hub of pre
game activity, and it features the
city’s most popular tourist attrac
tion: Pearl Street Mall.
Considered to be one of the best
pedestrian malls in the country,
Pearl Street hosts bars, cafes, bou
tiques and coffee houses. Street
vendors and musicians amuse and
entertain shoppers if the weather is
prime.
“If heaven has a college town,
it’s probably as beautiful as Boul
der,” raves Sunset magazine.
University of Nebraska-Lincoln
students who were lucky enough
to win the student migration ticket
lottery are sure to enjoy the city.
Locals recommend sipping
margaritas on a rooftop bar or
drinking locally brewed beer,
which runs as free as water in this
land of the Rockies.
Nebraska students are likely to
find Colorado students in a less
tourist-like environment directly
west of campus at The Hill, which

New access channel developing
By Brian Jensen
Staff Reporter
CableVision announced Thursday
that a new community access chan
nel will soon be available to the pub
lic.
After some channel shuffling to
accommodate the new addition, con
troversial public access will move
out of its Channel 14 slot and up to
Channel 20.
The announcement came at the
Thursday night meeting of the Cable
TV Advisory Board.
The main difference between the
two channels, as developed so far, is
that public access has little or no
restrictions for getting a program on
the air. With the new community
access, that process may become more
difficult.
can have sponsorships at the end of
the program that aren’t available now
with other access channels,” said Rick
Kiolbasa, CableVision director of
government and public relations. -
CableVision officials would not
specify what had motivated them to
produce a new community access
station. They also would not address
past controversial shows of the Closet
Comedian Scott Harrold shown on
public access.
Public access and Harrold’s “Cos
mic Comedy Show” have recently
drawn a lot of media attention and
local criticism.
Harrold, one of the public access
users, made his story on freedom of
speech famous in September when he
wore clown make-up and mastur
bated on his show.
Harrold was cited for public inde
cency, relating to the incident. He
will be in court Monday to answer
charges.
Last month, the board voted 7-2 to
recommend the City Council elimi
nate public access.
One board member asked for clari
fication about the decision to add
community access, saying: “Were you
just bored?” Kiolbasa laughed, but
declined comment.
“We would prefer not to speculate
on that at this time,” he said.
Harrold’s “Cosmic Comedy
Show” is still being aired, but the
shows no longer contain any sort of
obscenity.
The most controversial show was
made after city officials had already
attempted to ban public access. Be

UNL group organizes
aid for cancer victim
By Mike Kluck
Staff Reporter
A university professional group
has stepped in to help an 11-year-old
girl win a desperate race against time.
Chanel Jenkins-Todd — the
daughter of Lynda and Thomas Todd,
both university employees — has
developed renal meddulary carci
noma cancer.
Lynda Todd said doctors hoped a
bone marrow transplant would cure
Chanel; but the operation costs
$250,000 and isn’t covered by the
Todds’ health insurance.
The University Association for
Administrative Development is help
ing to organize a fund-raising effort
to help pay for the operation.
But there is no loiown cure for
Chanel’s disease, said Lynda Todd,
assistant director of the educational
talent search. Chanel’s father, Tho
mas Todd, is director of University
Television.
Chanel’s disease is so rare that she
is only the 35th patient in the nation
to be diagnosed with it. Her mother
said no one with this type of kidney
cancer had survived more than six
months after diagnosis.
Chanel was diagnosed with the
disease in July.
Sandy Flint, the association’s
president, said board member
