“The greek system is here to
help out,” Petermann said.
Lambda Chi has set a $15,000
goal for this event. All of the
money raised will help fund pro
grams through the American Lung
Association.
The main contributors to this
year’s run are the Nebraska
Bookstore, Burger King,
Valentino’s, Amigos, The Cookie
Company, Lazzari’s, Apple Inn of
Nebraska City and Corporate
Creations of Omaha.

ner. Private donations also are
being accepted. In addition, each
member of the fraternity is
required to raise $50 in private
donations.
This is the third fund-raiser the
fraternity has done to benefit the
Lung Association. Four years ago,
Lambda Chi Alpha had its
Storming Norman run, similar to
this year’s Ambushing Arrowhead.
The fraternity also sponsored a
trampoline-a-thon last year.
Scott Moller, development
associate for the American Lung
Association, said that the fraterni
ty has raised more than $30,000
for the Lung Association. Moller,
who is a Lambda Chi Alpha and
UNL alumnus, organized and par
ticipated in Storming Norman in
1994.

learning about how to take care of
themselves.
■ Tobacco is Trash, an infor
mational program that hands out
magnets and stickers to children to
teach them smoking is not cool.
■ Smokeless Caravan, a group
of college students who go to ele
mentary, middle and high schools
to put on skits about the dangers
and consequences of smoking.
“(The run) is a great project
because there are so many people
involved - the two universities, the
entire greek system, the Lung
Association and Lambda Chi
Alpha,” Moller said.
The destination of the run is
the Husker Huddle, which
includes a catered dinner, guest
speakers, an appearance by the
NU Spirit Squad and various other
pre-game activities.
The alumni association is host
of a Husker Huddle prior to each
home and away Husker football
games. Seating for each Husker
Huddle is reserved, and tickets
cost $25 per person.
Marc Shkolnick, director of
alumni relations for the UNL
Alumni Association, expects this
Husker Huddle to be the second
largest ever with nearly i,000
fans. The huddle in California two
weeks ago had 1,500 fans in atten
dance.

The men from Alpha Gamma

Plymouth Preschool. The fraternity
received donations from local busi
nesses.
First Plymouth Preschool

different racial, religious and
socioeconomic backgrounds. More
than 20 percent of the students
receive tuition assistance through
the preschool’s scholarship pro

The bicycle relay began today at
7:30 a.m. from the greenspace
north of the Nebraska Union.
The relay will end at Arrowhead

pep band, spirit squad, Scarlet
and Cream singers and the radio
voice of the Huskers, Warren
Swain.
“The rally is in an area where
young and old can enjoy Kansas
City,” York said.
Following the pep rally there
will be a dance inside the
Beaumont Club at 7:30 p.m. for
fans.
Both the rally and the dance
are free, but space at the dance is
limited by the 1,500-person
capacity of the club.
Other than the pep rally and
dance, fans will be on their own
today, but there should be no
shortage of activity in Kansas
City.
According to the city’s
tourism department, there is a lot
going on this weekend.
Saturday, most of the fans’
activities will be centered in the
Arrowhead Stadium parking
lots.
York called it “the best tail
gating in football,” and after
Saturday, Nebraska fans will be
able to make that distinction
themselves.
Before fans enter the stadium
for the 6 p.m/kickoff, they can
enjoy the taste of a hobo steak
grilled on the back of their own
car, or they can attend any one of
the numerous pre-game tailgate
parties.

Kansas City scenes
f Restaurants ^^ j *
Stroud’s Restaurant
1015 E. 85th St.
(816) 333-2132
The best way to eat here is by
number. Just tell the server how
many are in your party, and he’ll
bring enough chicken, mashed
potatoes and gravy and other
assorted artery-cloggers. The
specialty here is pan-fried
chicken.
Hereford House
20th and Main streets
(816)842-1080
There are plenty of places in
K.C. to grab a good steak - a city
treasure - but only a few truly great
places. The Hereford House is the
best. It’s not cheap, but it has the
best meat.
Gates’ Barbecue:
3205 Main St. (816) 753-0828
1221 Brooklyn Ave. (816) 483
3880
It’s hardly a secret - only
because Gates’ is so good. Get in
line and get ready, ‘cause the help
will be screaming for your orders
right quick.
Fiorella’s Smokestack of Martin
City
13441 Holmes Road
(816)942-9141
For those who prefer to sit
down when they order and eat off a
table, not a plastic tray. It’s a ways
out in south Kansas City, but worth
the trip.
Nightlife
Harrah’s North Kansas City
Casino
1 Riverboat Drive (off Route 210)
The mix of folks on Missouri’s
best riverboat casino is enough to
make the trip worthwhile. But you
have to be 21 years old.
The Plaza
Off Ward Parkway*'"near the
University of Missouri-Kansas
City
It’s not a single business,
but an area of Kansas City
that’s almost a second down
town. There are plenty of
restaurants and bars to choose
from. Plus, there are plenty of
shops open during the day, if
you’re not into football.
Westport
Westport Road and Main Street.
A lot like the Plaza, but without
the restaurants and the shops. It’s
all bars and brewpubs
Grand Emporium Saloon *
3822 Main St. I
(816)531-1504
Live music and hot food. Go.
Trust. Enjoy.
Kennedy’s Bar and Grill
7428 Washington St.
(816)361-9788
This place isn’t well-known,
but the place across the street is.
Avoid the crowd at the over
hyped 75th Street Brewery and
enjoy a frosted beverage at
Kennedy’s.
Kelly’s Bar
500 Westport Road
(816) 561-0635
A dump of a place. The oldest
building in KC - but perfect for a
bar.
- - t|
Gomer’s Fine Wine and Spirits
9902 Holmes St.
(816) 942-6200
Drinkers who want to
bypass the bars for the comfort
of your hotel room should hit
Gomer’s, a classic liquor store
in the heart of Kansas City.
They’ve got everything you
could possibly want.
