Students present mock model of U.N. MODEL from page 1 Contention arose between the United States-and Chinese del egates —7 respectively played by Brian O’Connell, an international affairs major, and John Hogg, a senior political science senior — over recognizing the roles of Italy and Greece in the war. The other students involved with the mock committee meeting included Gould; Laura Sullivan, a freshman international business and political science major; Elaine Leonard, a junior art history and Russian major; and Gopi Shah, a freshman mathematics and actu arial science major. Gould, who acted as committee secretary during the mock discus sion, said the event allowed UNL Model United Nations the oppor tunity to show others the goals of her group as well as the institution the group simulated. Attendees also saw an example of how the United Nations struck balance between bureaucracy and peaceful resolution, said Marj Manglitz, a member of the United Nations Association of the United States of America. “I think you can see why it takes so long to get anything passed,” Manglitz said, “but you can also see that no one pulled a gun on any one else.” Ibwn-hall meeting to focus on inner core VALLEY from page 1 the Lower Platte South Natural Re sources District. Proposals include using schools and churches as community education centers to anchor the neighborhoods, building a downtown supermarket, adding student housing, moving some of UNL’s service buildings to make room for recreation space, routing traf fic to new streets and overpass projects to alleviate gridlock in downtown Lin coln, and building more parking ga rages on campus. But all proposals are just ideas now. The study group will continue to review the proposals and will have another meeting in September. A ten tative finishing date has been set as January 1998. Seacrest said many other cities have booming outer edges and crum bling inner cores. That rotten core then fosters crime, drugs and gangs, he said. “We have a choice whether or not we are going to be like other cities and follow that model or try to revitalize our inner core,” he said. Large blaze constr ues unwished Lincoln building BLAZE from page 1 “I knew we were in for a long night,” he said. As the fire still burned, City Fire Inspector Bill Moody said he had a good idea where the fire started — in a south side stairwell — but was un sure how it started. “I am not ruling out anything at this point,” he said. No one was injured in the blaze. Three workers who were in the build ing managed to get some equipment out of the structure and to escape be fore they were hurt. Tom Loos, a landscaping worker who was working when the fire started, said he turned around and saw orange flames coming from the cen ter of the building. He ran over to the building to check on the three men working there, but he found that they had escaped. Loos, who was still working while the fire was burning, said that 10 min utes later the building collapsed into the basement. The size of the about 300-yard wide fire and the billowing black smoke brought hundreds of onlookers to the scene. Traffic on 14th Street backed up to Adams Street, and Su perior Street was backed up in either direction of 14th Street. One onlooker, Maureen Ellis, who lived south of Superior Street, said she saw a big ball of flame from her front yard. When she got there, the build ing collapsed. “This was just outrageous,” she said. “This isn’t like anything I have seen in my life.” Bus schedule to aid late studiers From Staff Reports , For students buried in books near the midnight hour — and past it — during dead and finals week, the Uni versity of Nebraska-Lincoln offers a safe ride home.
