As a band member, Spath does not have to pay for a ticket or any travel arrangements to the game. Lincoln travel agencies are already getting ready for fans’ busi ness. Travel and Transport, 411 S. 13th St., is offering a three-night Orange Bowl travel package to either Fort Lauderdale, Fla., or Miami. “The prices for the two packages vary depending were an individual stays,” Sue Bemt, director of opera tions for Travel and Transport, said. Prices range from $1,259 to $1,700, based on double occupancy. Those packages include round trip airfare from Lincoln or Omaha, hotel accommodations, ground trans portation to the airport, hotel and sta dium, tickets to a tailgate party, a game souvenir, a game ticket and access to a hospitality desk and tour staff. Bemt said trying to find a ticket at a reasonable price may be difficult. “It’s amazing at some of the « Eighty dollars for an Orange Bowl ticket is not that much...” Jeff Cameron sophomore diversified agriculture major prices people get for tickets,” Bernt said. “All of our packages include tickets, so there is no worry about try ing to find a ticket for the game.” Omni Travel, 301 S. 68th Place, also offered a group travel package to the Orange Bowl, but sold out in less than two weeks. Sharly Riggert, an agent for Omni Travel, said Omni Travel has a repeat clientele for bowl trips, and this was the main reason for the trip selling out so fast. “We advertised the package to our clients and gave them first choice,” Riggert said. “Then we advertised to the public.” The rate of the package was $985 per person, double occupancy. The package included three nights in Orlando, Fla., and two nights in Miami round-trip airfare from Lincoln, hotel accommoda tions, ground transportation, a motor coach tour of Orlando, a pre-game pep rally, and a game ticket. Riggert said some openings may occur, but it is highly unlikely. Jeff Cameron, a sophomore diver-j sified agriculture major, said he and£ his family made their own travef| arrangements to this year’s Orange Bowl. . jfc | “We made our flight arrange-^ ments a couple of months ago to? make sure we had a way down there, and we will be staying in my grand mother’s condominium,” Cameron * said. He said he plans to participate in the Orange Bowl ticket lottery. “Eighty dollars for an Orange Bowl ticket is not that much,” Cameron said. “I don’t know how much I would actually pay for a tick et, but $80 is OK.” People who have Orange Bowl tickets may pick up their tickets on Dec. 17-19, 22 and 23, unless other wise noted by the athletic ticket office. Additional information onithe status of ticket sales, including addi tional sales, can be obtained by call ing the athletic ticket office at (402) 472-3111 on Thursday. U.S. will fund Geneva physics accelerator PHYSICS from page 1 ff piece of the model, the Top Quark, in March 1995. The particle was * dixcoyered through experiments | co*td«eted at what is-now the | nation's best particle accelerator, the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory outside of Chicago. To build the new accelerator, the Nebraska team members will join about 1,500 other physicists from around the globe in working on one of two particle detectors in the new accelerator called the Compact Muon Solenoid. When complete, the detectors will each measure 5 stories long and cost about $400 million to construct. But UNL will contribute a much smaller-sized piece, Snow said. “The detectors that we’re build ing are something we can handle in me (jmysics; department, ne saia. Of course, team members won’t always stay in the department when working on the detectors. Snow and Claes now travel to Geneva about three times each year, and they plan to spend more time on the site of the new accelerator as its scheduled completion date approaches. The UNL team should install its detector in the accelerator in 2003, he said. By the same year, Snow said he hopes UNL graduate students will study in residence at the accelerator site and work on their doctoral degrees. One or more faculty mem bers also may be stationed overseas. “But first, we have to build the detector,” he said. The new accelerator isn’t the first heavily funded new accelerator Snow has worked on. When he first came to UNL in That guarantees we will have funding ’ " ■ * ' '■ >> coming... Greg Snow UNL associate professor September 1993, he planned to gather a group of Nebraska physics experts to work on a new particle accelerator called the Supercollider then being built in Waxahatchie, Texas. The collider was to measure 50 miles in circumference and become the world’s largest acceler ator. About one-third of the needed tunnel was dug when Congress can celed the project’s funding in 1993, Snow said. Uur whole lield had a pretty substantial blow in that,” he said. Because of Congress’ choice to discontinue a domestic accelerator project four years ago, Snow said, physicists were uncertain whether Congress would throw funding in the way of U.S. physicists working abroad in Geneva. “It’s not a huge commitment of money, but it’s many millions of dollars,” he said, adding that the money sends a message that the United States again will join other first-world nations in funding ground-breaking new science experiments - projects Snow calls “big science.” “That guarantees we will have funding coming in our direction for full participation in the big collabo ration of physicists who will be working in Geneva.” Holiday light tours available BUS from page 1 the tour, call (402) 473-3800. The bus is a double-decker and seats 44 people. It has 14 televisions and tables between) | each of the seats. It can be rented by any private person or business any time of year for any event. It is typically rented for weddings, birthday parties and casino trips. StarTran, Lincoln’s bus service, has its fourth annual holiday tour of lights this month. This tour involves 20 buses, with about 600 people on each of the five nights, amounting to about 3,000 » tourists on all the tours com bined. Held on Dec. 12, 19, 16 and 22, the tours will leave from Gold’s Galleria, 11th and O streets, at 7 each night. It will be IVi to two hours long, and costs X2 ner nersnn. The holiday tour of lights came about as a collaborative idea from some of the StarTran administrators, said1 ' Larry Worth, StarTran Transit manager. •! I) Buses will be following a route that will include the Colonial Hills neighborhood, downtown and the area around the Lincoln Country Club. Maps of the tour route will be available at the StarTran office starting Dec. 23, the day after the last tour. In the past few years, cars have attempted to follow the buses on the tour and caused traffic jams. Because of this problem, StarTran will have police cars on the tour route this year.
