300 times 3 PERFECT from page 1_ switched lanes and bowled with a dif ferent group of children. “I just wanted to bowl well to help out the kids I was bowling with, and I didn’t want to disappoint them with a low score,” Sonnenfeld said. Sonnenfeld didn’t disappoint. He started out with a 300, something he’d done only seven times before. After the groups switched lanes for the second game, the strikes just kept coming. As the pins continued to fall 10 at a time, the crowd of onlookers behind Sonnenfeld continued to grow. “I had never had two 300s in a row before, so that was pretty cool. As I kept going, I just tried to stay relaxed,” Sonnenfeld said. . Sonnenfeld said that after two 300 point games in a row, other bowlers wanted him to bowl on their team. By the time the 10th frame in the .third game rolled around, the crowd was cheering after every frame. “During the last three shots every one was watching and cheering,” he said. “Before the last one, everything just stopped as I stepped onto the ap proach. “I knew it was a good shot when the ball left my hand, and then when the pins fell the entire place erupted.” His teammates rushed forward and hoisted him upon their shoulders to celebrate. After the celebration sub sided Sonnenfeld signed autographs for all the tournament participants. All of Sonnenfeld’s teammates agreed this could not have happened to a nicer guy. “It was amazing to watch history being made,” UNL bowler Chad Oachs said. “I didn’t think it was possible. It Since then, SonnenfelS lias been caught up in a whirlwind of attention from local and national media and bowling groups. “My phone has been ringing con stantly since 6 o’clock Sunday night,” he said. “I’ve had calls from all over. When I came here (Sun Valley Lanes) at three, the press was here waiting.” In addition to the local news, Sonnenfeld’s story was covered by CNN and USA Today. Sonnenfeld said he hoped the attention his feat has earned will bring more coverage to his team and his sport. “Bowling deserves the same respect as football or any other sport,” Sonnenfeld said. And even after setting this record there are still other goals Jeremy wants to accomplish in bowling. “I have always wanted to bowl for Team USA and represent our country in competition,” Sonnenfeld said. Despite the prospect of large sums of money for becoming a professional bowler, Sonnenfeld is planning on completing his degree. He said he would continue to bowl for the university’s national championship team. “The team is great,” he said. “Ev eryone really supported me, and we are all good friends. It was neat to be able to share that moment with them.” Though he’s received calls from as far away as New Zealand, the 20-year old native of Sioux Falls, S.D., still has to find the time to go to class and do his homework like everyone else. “The press coverage has been in sane,” Sonnenfeld said. “I just have to try to live my life as before. Tomor row aftemobn I’ll be back at practice doing drills.” Graduate student ends four-day hunger strike STRIKE from page 1 ^ The statement’s highlights are:.. ■ An ASUN demand that stu dent organizations include in then constitutions statements that they do not discriminate “on the basis of a person’s age, race, national origin, color, gender, sexual orientation, creed, handicap or place of resi dence.” f' - ■ A RHA reaffirmation that it shall not discriminate “on the basis of a person’s age, race, national ori gin, color, gender, creed or sexual orientation.” ■ An EFC and Panhellenic As sociation reaffirmation that they re will not be based on racial or ethnic status.” The statement’s other reaffirma tions and calls to action by student organizations are: combatting racism in any form, becoming more aware of die sensitivities and concerns of mi norities, and embracing cultural di versity in the university community and student organizations. Marintzer said the four organi zations have been practicing the values in the statement. He said the cross-buminj H._M .. % opened discussion about y '“We’re coming from the stand point that we’ve hadfcng-term con ditions dealing with discrimination of ahy kind,” Marintzer said. “While they are on paper, tome times they are forgotten. *..

Activities may include inviting members of minority groups to , speak at organizational meetings, Bethea, director of the Lied Center for Performing Arts, discussed the possibility of similar speaking engage ments at the center. Schwartzkopf said she and Barry man would meet today with Karstens and fraternity chapter ad visers to discuss the issues raised during Monday’s meeting. “This is only the beginning,” Schwartzkopf said. “I envision in viting the entire university commu nity to participate.” ; Kentucky dean named senior vice chancellor > EDWARDS from page 1 amounts of research funding, he said. Improving the trend of a better un dergraduate education also would be on the front burner, as he said large research land-grant universities like UNL must be <r student-centered universities intent on * meeting the needs of all students. This means the campus should be open to women and minorities — and not just legally open, he said, adding that there must be an atmosphere where all students are valued and have an opportunity to achieve. Edwards said it was important to extend this environment through the ranks of faculty and staff. “We need to make sure women and § minorities are represented in all ranks, including the senior ranks,” Edwards said. Edwards said he also would work to create a greater collaboration among colleges and departments on both City and East campuses. The campuses have a lot to learn from each other, and UNL will be a stronger institution if the two have a stronger bond, he said. Moeser said Edwards plans to visit the campus often beginning March 15 before he assumes his position one month later. His appointment as senior vice chancellor will be subject to the approval of the NU Board of Regents. U—-— The university is going about a very conscious process of setting its priorities and putting its money where these priorities are ” ’■ v 'r js?9 t RlCHARD C. EDWARDS new vice chancellor for academic » affairs Edwards, 52, has served as the arts and sciences dean at die University of Kentucky since 1991, Moeser said. He previously served as a professor and department head of economics at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst Edwards will succeed Joan Leitzel, who resigned last spring to accept the presidency of the University of New Hampshire in Durham. Irv Omtvedt now serves as interim vice chancellor for academic affairs. Compactors squeeze down time, space for recycling CARDBOARD from page 1 fects and what it would accom plish. Rich Webster, public informa tion officer for the NDEQ, said UNL’s application was ranked among the top third of all appli cations received. “The committee that reviews the applications obviously felt that it was a well-designed proposition that would have a fairly good im pact,” Webster said. UNL could use four or five cardboard compactors, Ekart said, but the money awarded by me grani omy allows ror two. “We didn’t get as much money as we wanted, but we did get more than we expected,” he said. The compactors will be used to save space and time when load ing trucks with cardboard waste generated mostly from the food service and maintenance depart ments. Currently, UNL has one card board compactor used for recy cling at Selleck Hall where results have shown an increase in effi ciency compared to sites without compactors. “We have large objects that take a long time to load if they are not compacted,” Ekart said. “It will also save five to 10 min utes per trip. Take that over 200 times, and it’s a great savings.” Although the compactors will be a great benefit to the efficiency of the recycling program, he said, it will be difficult for students to participate directly in cardboard recycling. Ekart suggested that if stu dents want to recycle their card board boxes, they should not throw them down the chutes or in the trash, but should ask a maintenance or custodial em ployee.
