Ben Nelson said Monday. In his weekly media conference call, Nelson said he was concerned by recent sports columns mocking the state’s people and agri cultural heritage. Nelson mentioned sports columnists Woody Paige of the Denver Post and Art Thiel of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Paige has written unflattering columns about Nebraska football for years, frequently of Nebraska’s terrain, agricultural base and people. In a column written before Nebraska’s 27 14 win over Washington Saturday, Thiel wrote that Nebraska would be “the ideal spot if the United States needs to insert a continental drain.” Nelson said he failed to see the relevance or humor of such comments. “It’s something that goes beyond humor,” Nelson said. “They ought to be doing columns saying positive things about the people in other states.” Daniel Luedert/DN MEMBERS OF THE UNIVERSITY HONORS PROGRAM work together to place “the magical ring” (old car tire) over the “giant’s sleeping finger” (a woeden post) at the UNL Adventure Ropes Challenge course at Camp Easter Seals near Milford Sunday. Official groups follow rules Meeting space lost without annual form Challenge focuses on teamwork, trust By Josh Funk Assignment Reporter^ “Spotters ready?” “Ready, Amy!” “Falling” ‘Tall when ready, Amy.” Amy Chrisp, a freshman chemistry major, closed her eyes and fell back into the arms of her fellow honors students, trusting them to catch her. Although she knew they would catch her, there was a point in the fall where her equi librium and knowledge of gravity tried to tell her otherwise. Please see ROPES on 6 By Brad Davis Assignment Reporter When John Schadegg and his Won By One Christian fellowship wanted to start an official student organization, they had to go through the same process as 350 or more other student organizations. If Schadegg and his group wouldn’t have followed the proper procedure, they wouldn’t be recognized as an official student organiza tion, and would be banned from using univer sity property for group meetings. All groups at the University of Nebraska Lincoln that want to be recognized as “offi cial” must be approved by the Association of Students of the University of Nebraska before they can meet on university property, or use the services of the Student Activities Financial Services, according to ASUN bylaws. New organizations must submit a purpose statement along with a constitution. ASUN Special Topics Committee chairwoman Chris Linder said the process is relatively easy. Linder said new organizations come to the ASUN office, where they receive a packet of information outlining exactly what is neces sary for the organization to be approved. “You have to state a purpose for your organization, have an adviser and have five interested students,” Linder said. Once ASUN receives the letter of intent, the student organization then has 90 days to write a constitution, which also must be approved by the Special Topics Committee. The constitution must include mandatory clauses dealing with UNL’s nondiscriminato ry policy, non-student participants in the organization, ASUN approval and SAFS funding. These clauses have to be worded the Please see GROUPS on 2 Read the Daily Nebraskan on the World Wide Web at http: 11 www.unl.edu/DailyNeb
