Tagi Adams is working to make a differ
ence in the lives of some Lincoln middli
school students.
Adams, a senior women’s studies ant
English major, is helping to recruit othe
University of Nebraska-Lincoln students t<
tutor Goodrich Middle School students a
the new Lincoln Action Program Educatioi
Outreach tutoring site at the Culture Center
14th and R streets.
Besides trying to recruit tutors, she sai<
she hopes to be a tutor herself.'
“I think it’s a really great opportunity fo
UNL students,” Adams said. “They will bi
doing something positive, and putting thei
knowledge into action to help these kid
succeed”
The Culture Center isKme oj-three site
in Lincoln that provides help for at-nsk stu
dents, said Lisa Bickert, an LAP employee.
The students chosen for the program usually
are from low-income or minority families
who traditionally need extra help in school,
' she said.
Last year, the program served 162 stu
dents from six middle schools and two high
- schools, Bickert said. Four elementary
- schools were added this year, she said.
5 The idea to add the Culture Center tutor
ing site began after talking with Reshell Ray,
1 assistant director in the Office of Student
r Involvement.
) Ray said some students who attended the
1 annual Racial Minority Conference in
i February discussed ideas of how they could
, help students outside UNL, and someone
suggested tutoring.
1 That’s when Ray and some LAP staff
decided that the Culture Center would be an
r ideal tutoring site because of its location and

Nelson says columns lack humor

Sports columnists critical of the Nebraska
Comhuskers shouldn’t make fun of Nebraska’s
comhuskers, Gov. 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.”

“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.

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
