STAND from page 1
the bleachers through the first half of
the game.
But, because 27 rows separated
those students from non-student seat
ing, they did not block non-student
spectators’ views of the game.
Most students standing on the
bleachers actually inconvenienced
other students seated in row 41 during
Saturday’s game, the Daily
Nebraskan found.
Students sitting in row 41, located
just above the mid-section aisles that
separate rows 40 and 41, were the only
spectators who said they could not see
the football field because of those
standing on bleachers in the lower
portions of sections 13,14 and 15.
Katie Faust, a UNL sophomore,
said she could not see the game, even
when standing, from her seat in sec
tion 14, row 41.
“The last couple of games, it was
not a problem,” Faust said. “This
time, it was.”
Police officers had yet to ask
those standing in front of her to stand
down, she said.
At an Association of Students of
the University of Nebraska meeting
last month, senators said the UNL
police had refused to enforce the
“stand down” policy.
Gina Wiles and Rebecca Dame,
UNL sophomores also seated in row
41, said event security staff some
times asked those obscuring the row’s
view to stand down, but to no avail.
Wiles and Dame continued to
stand in the footwells because “they
asked us to,” they said. But if they
stood on the bleachers like those in
front of them, they would have been
able to see the game.
But, they said, students standing
on bleachers were excited about a
high-action night game and didn’t
deserve to lose their seats next fall
because of their enthusiasm.
Those in non-student seats in sec
tion 12 sitting in rows 68 to 79 had
difficulty seeing the game and loudly
expressed their frustration.
bheryl Jedlicka, a UNL alumna,
said she was unhappy she paid for
two seats in the first row of section
12, yet those standing in the aisle in
front of her and on bleachers in sec
tion 13 below forced her to stand to
watch the game.
She said it “wouldn’t be a bad
idea” to move student seats, because
the “stand down” policy was not
being enforced by police or event
security staff.
Security staff member Quinn
Eddy, a UNL senior, said security
tried to keep students off the bleach
ers, but they would only stay off
bleachers for brief periods.
“We can tell them to (stand)
r- •• ~ - i
down, but it’s a student section,” Eddy
said. “They’re just here to show their
support by standing up.”
Security receives the most com
plaints about those standing in the
lower half of section 12, he said.
Adults sitting in the upper section
often yell at students below them to sit
down, and students sometimes “lip
off” in return, he said. Security guards
intervene to prevent fights or yelling
matches.
For John and Kathy Wilhelm of
Omaha, who sit on the east side of
row 74 in section 12, the problem is
they’ve paid for their seats for the past
three years, but they’ve never sat on
those seats during the first three quar
ters of a game.
They must stand, instead of sit
ting, to see the action on the field,
they said.
“I would enjoy sitting,” John
Wilhelm said.
Kathy Wilhelm said the Athletic
Department should make an announce
ment asking spectators to stand off
bleachers during a football game.
A similar request from Coach
Tom Osborne could also cause those
standing on bleachers to step down
into the footwells, she said.
“They’d all get booed, then,” if
they went against Osborne’s wishes,
Wilhelm said.
One older man who sat nearby
thought more drastic measures would
be required to keep students off the
bleachers.
“Just shoot ‘em. Shoot three or
four of ‘em a game,” the man, who
wished to remain anonymous, said.
“By the end of a season, we won’t
have a problem left.” ,
But those sitting above row 79 on
the far-east side of section 12, and
those sitting in most of the west side
of section 12 said they had no prob
lem seeing the game while seated.
Other people sitting in section 13
said they could also see well, and that
the new “stand down” policy was
helping them to better enjoy the game.
“We’ve been sitting here for the
last few years, and this is the first year
we haven’t had to stand the whole
game. We appreciate it,” Mike
McDermott of Omaha said.
Carroll-Vetick of Columbus, who
also sat in section 13, agreed.
“The new rule is working good,”
Vetick said. “A couple of years ago,
you had to stand the whole time.”
John Peterson of Omaha also had
a good view of the game, although he
said students should consider ftjgse
who can’t see when standing on the
bleachers. £
“You just have to be courteous
and think of someone else,” Peterson
said. “People in the back row can’t
enjoy it until the front row is seated.
“It’s like dominoes - it really does
affect the rest of us.”

Golden Key targeted
for discipline by RHA
By Sarah Baker
Assignment Reporter
The University of Nebraska
Lincoln Residence Hall Association
resolved Sunday to take sanctions
against the Golden Key Honor
Society after it failed to hold up stip
ulations of a previous agreement.
At the Sept. 14 meeting, Golden
Key approached RHA asking for per
mission to distribute student guides
to all residence hall students through
their hall mailboxes. One stipulation
was for stickers to be placed on the
front of the guides telling students
that the guides were provided by
RHA, ASUN and Golden Key.
RHA President Ben Wallace said
many of the guides were distributed
without stickers, and Golden Key also
handed out the guides before they
were distributed in the halls, causing
some students to get two of them.
“I am afraid if we let this go, we will
be getting trampled on,” Wallace said.
Golden Key will not be allowed to
I-!--- - ?
distribute any information through
hall mailboxes until fall of 1998, and
material distributed after that time
must be brought before RHA one
month in advance for approval.
Jodi Cramer, advertising and mar
keting chair, said she hopes these sanc
tions come as a warning to other groups.
“If we let the fact that they didn’t
hold up their side of the agreement go,
we seem wishy-wash,”Cramer said.
Wallace will formally present
these sanctions to Golden Key today.
RHA also passed a Greek Life
Interaction Bill that formally initiates
communication between the greek
system and RHA.
“We want members of greek
organizations to become a part of
Campus Escort,” Wallace said.
“Greek houses are also going to help
RHA sponsor the green space in the
Adopt-a-Space Program to help keep
that area clean.” „ -
