The girl was on her way to a friend’s house around 3:30 p.m. when a man in a car approached her near 46th and La Salle streets, Sherrill said. The man, who was driving a dark-colored car, made several attempts to get the girl into his car, but she ran to her friend’s house and called police. The only description police have of the suspect is that he was a white man wearing a Cubs baseball hat backwards. Man in parked car gets DWI A man was arrested for driving while intoxicated after he fell asleep behind the wheel of his run ning, parked car in a university parking lot. At 2:20 a.m., University Police contacted the man in the 14th and New Hampshire streets parking lot, Manning said. The 19-year-old man, who was not a student, failed a field sobriety test and was taken to detox where his blood alcohol content was mea sured to be. 114. ~ 4r Even though the man was parked in his car at the time, he was arrested because the e# was run ning and the DWI statute specifies that a person in control of a vehicle can be cited. Police also cited the man for a small amount of marijuana they found in his pocket. As police were questioning the man, they noticed a black mark on his hand. ’ v v He told the officers he had paid for beer at a house party. The man gave police the address of the party, and they cited the 22-year-old man who lives at the house for procuring alcohol for minors and selling alcohol without a license.

By Nicole Hall Staffwriter Vivian Nichols recalls when she attended the University ofNebraska Lincoln more than 70 years ago. As a student in die physical educa tion program, die remembers when the second of two professors joined the pro gram her junior year. Mabel Lee, for which Mabel Lee Hall was named, instructed Nichols. The university didn’t have a swimming pool, and the program’s facilities con sisted of a gym floor and a few class rooms. “(The campus) has changed radical ly. I can’t believe all the new buildings and closed roads,” said Nichols, 98, who graduated in 1924. Last weekend, the women’s physical education program in the Teacher’s College celebrated its 100th anniver sary. The program began in 1898. The department was one of the first in the country to offer a professional preparation program for women in physical education, said Bill Murphy, professor and chairman of the depart ment ofhealth and human performance. That department encompasses the physical education program. The centennial was marked with an informational reception for alumni, an exhibit of new and old technology used in physical education, and an evening banquet. An exhibit at the reception dis played early 20th-century physical edu cation equipment and women’s sporting attire. '■ “(The exhibit) gave a very good sense of history?’ said Sharon Evans, associate professor ofheahh and human performance. Two of the 150 alumni celebrating last weekend graduated in the 1920s, and five graduated in the 1930s. Evans said she was happy with the wide array of alumni who turned out for the event. “I was very impressed by the alum ni’s pride in the program and the fact they came back to celebrate.” NU releases names of skybox holders SKYBOX from page 1 we want to do anything we can do to improve the support and education of UNL graduates,” Henry said. Aliant Communications President Frank Hilsabeck agreed. “People need to understand what the entire athletic department means to the state of Nebraska,” Hilsabeck said. “I think the skyboxes are a won derful way to support university ath letics.” NU Associate Athletic Director Joe Selig said the 42 skyboxes are a part of the Memorial Stadium Improvement Project which includes a $36.3 million addition to the west stadium and a new media facility. The NU Board of Regents approved the skybox project in July of 1996. University officials said Skybox construction is on schedule for com pletion by the Huskers’ home opener Sept. 11 against California. Selig said donors had the option between 10 Premier Circle skyboxes, that required a one-time contribution of $2 million for a 25-year contract, or 29 Cornerstone skyboxes, that required a 10-year annual payment of $75,000. Three skyboxes are reserved for university officials - one for the UNL chancellor’s office, one for the NU athletic director, and one for the NU Foundation and the NU president’s office to share, he said. Premier Circle members will receive six personalized season game day parking stalls, eight invitations to an annual recognition dinner, an annual trip for two on the team air plane to one of the university ’s away football games and highest priority consideration for any intercollegiate NU Athletic Department sporting event in which a priority system is used. / . Cornerstone members receive two personalized season parking stalls and four season parking passes, two invitations to an annual recognition dinner, an annual trip for two to one of die university’s away football games and priority consideration for away game and bowl game tickets. Selig said each skybox suite has about 700 square feet and comes with 28 season tickets, as well as other amenities including security, elevator access, closed-circuit television, a pri vate restroom, post-game cleaning and heating and air conditioning. Scott Lewis, UNL associate vice chancellor for business and finance, said the university did not use student fees or state tax revenue to pay for the construction. The leasing of 10 skyboxes at $2 million each provided $20 million of donations up front, he said. In July 1997, the university issued $17.4 million in revenue bonds to cover the remaining cost The leasing of the remaining 29 skyboxes and the club seats would repay the bonds, he said. Lewis said additional income from the skyboxes would be used for future athletic department projects, including grass football practice fields and a new baseball complex. ^Student falls from third-floor window FALL from page 1 Bliven’s boyfriend, Andrew Devault, had come down from his third-floor ■- room to talk to police. Devault, a 19-year-old freshman, told police that he and Bliven had been drinking in the downtown area before coming back to the fraternity house, 'X - ' Manning said.. . While Devauit and Bliven were upstairs, Bliven started to feel sick, so Devault opened the window for her to vomit. Devault told police that the last time he saw Bliven was at 2:30 a.m. when she was vomiting out the win dow, Manning said. Devault did not know Bliven had fallen out the window until the other fraternity members summoned him at 3:30 a.m., he said. Last fall, Chi Phi members were cited for one alcohol violation and for stealing a Christmas tree from the yard of a sorority next door. Griesen would not comment on whether the house had been placed on probation prior to this weekend. In a teleconference Monday evening Hess, Hardy and an alumni representative reviewed the weekend’s events. In an interview before that telecon ference, Hess said that it is Chi Phi’s policy to suspend fraternity activities when there is an injury or violation of its risk-management plan. Activities would be suspended until the investigation is complete and a final decision about the fraternity’s future could be made, Hess said. Chi Phi headquarters is also send ing two national representatives to con duct an investigation in concert with the university. “The fraternity effectively becomes a residence hall until the investigation is complete,” Hess said. For now though, Griesen said the university’s focus is on helping Bliven recover. “Our immediate concern is to see Kara get well and stay current with her studies.” Let your Sroile fee a IteSeetio» ©? y©ur Denial tfealihl '■ d 'I University Health Center Dental Office 15th & U Street • 472-7495 ^^^AMue^c»^to^3hM^^O^ro^ieffofUMLSfcjde^Mjactf^StaJ^nerFciml^ejirt3««^i I_ m 4 I M^|iyjira Inimrmmt Acctu s«rv»c«* find us at: hlij^a/AtfwWtiwviXiiMit
