football players’ autographs.
Evers said she scheduled a special
autograph session for halftime. A si
lent auction encouraged spectators to
bid for autographed items such as T
shirts or pictures.
Last year, Evers said, the game
raised $19,000. Because attendance
increased every year, she said, she
hoped to raise $23,000 this time.
Letter said the money was not dedi
cated to a specific purpose.
“All cash goes into our general
fund,” he said.
That means most dollars will be
spent for research and education about
heart diseases, he said.
The Husker cheerleaders and an
alumni pep band were on hand to cheer
on the teams.
Renee Swartz, adviser for the cheer
leaders, said supporting such an event
gave the squad a good feeling.
Cheerleader Paula Collins agreed.
“It’s great to represent our univer
sity and help fight heart diseases,” said
Collins, a graduate education major.
“And, of course, it’s also great fun for
us.”
Paul Hadley, communications edu
cator at Bryan Memorial Hospital, said
the fun part of the event improved its
acceptance by the public.
“The game is a perfect means of
community outreach,” he said. “We
can show people that we are active in
trying to prevent heart diseases.”

By Joy Ludwig
Start Aeporter
More than 50 students from the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln
will participate in the 19th annual
Big EightConference on Black Stu
dent Government this weekend in
Manhattan, Kan.
John Harris, special assistant to
the vice chancellor for student af
fairs, said the conference offered
African-American students a time
to come together in an educational
and social setting.
Conference events include work
shops, a career fair, a Gospel Ex
travaganza, a greek step show and
four keynote speakers.
During the Gospel Extrava
ganza, each school performs two
songs. At the end of the event, all of
the groupsjoin to form a mass choir,
said Bryant Farmer, president of
the UNL Afrikan People’s Union.
“It is a chance to meet a variety
of well-known speakers that you
normally wouldn ’t and network with
students from other schools,” he
said.
Gregg Williams, education spe
cialist for the African-American
students in the minority assistance
program, said the conference of
fered students a chance to bond and
“You need to know that
you’re not the only one
dealing with the same
issues. ”

demic excellence.
“You need to know that you’re
not the only one dealing with the
same issues,” he said.
Participants also gain inspira
tion and spirituality as they leam
about and connect with their heri
tage, he said.
The conference—“Reunite. Re
structure. Revolution. The time has
come again.”—is expected to draw
about 1,000 students from the Big
Eight schools and other colleges
and universities in those states.
“Every African-American
should attend if they can,” Will
iams said. “It is an experience I
highly promote, especially for fresh
men, so they can meet other stu
dents. It could help them get through
the whole college experience.”

THAT WAS THEN.
