Greek Week gets started with AIDS lecture at Lied AIDS from page 1 “People know the risks and dan gers of alcohol and sex. They have to make their own decisions,” Goldman said. The presentation swayed from the serious, using humor to present its concepts. “We didn’t come here to make you sad,” Sullivan told the audience. “That would be a bad way to spend the evening. We want to make you laugh.” They discussed everything from condom use to a list Sullivan called “TJ.’s Scale of Drunken Hominess.” The scale discussed the four stages of drunkenness and which inhibitions are forgotten in each. The humor and open approach, the n=- - = pair said, were more effective. Blake Wentz, a sophomore ac counting major, agreed. Wentz is member of Theta Xi fraternity. “When I first heard about it, thought that I would hear the same oli drab and statistics,” Wentz said. “Be I thought it was really educational, think a lot of people will remembe it.” Dusty Vaughan, a freshman ii general studies, agreed and said th performance was informative and en tertaining. “It was a lot better than the othe things. I could relate to it better tha if a 40-year-old man came and talk© to us about it,” said Vaughan, also member of Theta Xi. ■ i Don’t Forget! The deadline for filing your state andffederal income taxes is midnight tonight. From the hard-working and overtaxed staff at the Daily Nebraskan Senators to debate surplus 1AA irom page 1 said. Another bill would put $100 mil lion of the surplus into a fund that would be spent — either on schools or local government — after the lids go into effect, Kilpatrick said.

But because the state’s money will most likely be going to help schools and local governments, others in line for the money might have to miss out, he said. “The university is making a pitch for more state money,” Lock said. “They’re all competing for the same money, and one could fall by the way side.” The university had requested Correction A quotation in Monday’s Daily Ne braskan was incorrectly attributed to Kerry McDermott on Page 1. Head Cross Country Coach Jay Dirksen said, “(Academics) is why we’re here. If we have great teams and win cham pionships, we’ve really failed if we don’t stress the reasons we’re here at the university.” I fcfc (Those bills) only happened because we happen to have some extra money lying around. " Sen. Dan Lynch Omaha money this year for help with deferred maintenance and renovating buildings such as Richards Hall. Sen. Dan Lynch of Omaha, chair man of the building maintenance com mittee, is one who says he would like to see the money going to renovation of state buildings. Now would be the “best time” to use the money to fix up crumbling I. . . buildings in Nebraska, he said. If schools consolidate, they will not need as much money; and the bill pro posing $100 million commitment to schools would be an ongoing cost, he said. “It seems silly to me,” Lynch said. “(Those bills) only happened because we happen to have some extra money lying around.” AA© The Support Alcoholics Anonymous Tuesday Meeting 12-1 P.M.
