Man attempts kidnapping
Sunday afternoon a man tried to
kidnap a 9-year-old girl.
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.

Program celebrates 100th year
■ UNL women’s physical
education alumni reunite
at exhibit, reception.
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.”
