Actress shows
nudity, incest
in ‘Breck Girl’
By Sean McCarthy
Assignment Reporter
Heidi Arneson bares more than
just her soul in her one-woman show
“The Brunette Breck Girl”- she bares
her entire body.
Using some of the actress’ own
childhood experiences, Arneson’s
play revolves around a family dis
solving from physical and verbal
abuse.
The main character in the play
lives chained in the walls of a subur
ban household. Her character, along
with the nine other characters that
Arneson plays, are nude throughout
the entire play.
Arneson said she hopes the audi
ence can adapt to the nudity.
“I fear that the audience feels that
they can’t laugh, “ Arneson said.
“They don’t have to figure it out, just
sit back and enjoy it.”
Break these chains
This the first time she has taken
the show outside Minneapolis, where
she currently lives. She performed
“The Brunette Breck Girl” in its
entirety five times before bringing
the show to Lincoln.

Garth Brooks wristbands available
■ Fans can obtain
a chance for a concert
ticket until Saturday.
From Staff Reports
Students desiring tickets for
Garth Brooks’ Sept. 26 concert at
the Bob Devaney Sports Center
have today and Saturday to get
wristbands for their chances to
purchase them.
Concert hopefuls must pick
up a wristband at any
Ticketmaster location by 5 p.m.
Saturday - or until supplies last -
to be eligible for a lottery, held
noon Sunday at the same loca
tion. Those with wristbands who
don’t return at noon will forfeit
their chances of obtaining tickets
and will be required to move to
the end of the line.
Following the noon lineup, a
random number will be drawn at
1 p.m. to determine the beginning
number and order of ticket pur
chase. The ticket purchase line
will be reorganized in sequential
order according to this draw, and
cash-only sales will begin at 2
p.m. Being at Ticketmaster early
will not improve anyone’s
chances of getting better tickets,
according to the company.
Likewise, obtaining a wristband
doesn’t ensure a ticket.

Annual dance fest
will hail new year
By Jason Hardy
Staff Reporter
Tonight, 750 Wrangler-clad stu
dents will stampede East Campus for
a day of competition, education and,
of course, boot-scootin’.
The College of Agricultural
Science and Natural Resources will
hold its seventh annual Prairie Stomp
country dance tonight from 8 to mid
night. The dance is being held to ring
in the new school year.
This year’s Prairie Stomp will
feature the country sounds of Black
Water, and will be accompanied by
two newcomers to the celebration -
the Student Involvement Fair and the
Agriculture Olympics.
Sue Voss, recruitment and reten
tion coordinator for the College of
Agricultural Science and Natural
Resources, said the reason for the
dance was simple.
“It’s just a dance to welcome the
new students in the fall,” Voss said.
The dance is free to all, and each
new student in the College of
Agricultural Science and Natural
Resources will get a free Prairie
Stomp shirt.
Activities will start at 3 p.m. with
the Sigma Alpha Professional
Agriculture Sorority’s Agriculture
Olympics. Teams of at least four
«
Its just a dance to
welcome the new
Students in the fall.”
Sue Voss
recruiter for agriculture college
members - one Of whom must be
female - can pay $20 to push their
farm skills to the limit. The games
will go until 6 p.m. and will be held
on the soccer/softball fields on East
Campus.
Aside from ringing in the new
school year, the games’ other purpose
is to raise money for the Farm Crisis
Hotline, which helps farmers who are
having financial problems or who
need advice on agriculture business.
Mindy Kraeger, president of
Sigma Alpha, said because her group
was geared toward helping agricul
ture-related businesses, money raised
through the Agriculture Olympics
would be donated to the hotline.
Though this is the first year for
the charity event, Kraeger said she
was optimistic about today’s turnout.
