Films, food at big bash
By Kimberly Sweet
Senior staff writer
For new and returning
UNL students, homesickness
or longing for summer days is
possible this weekend.
Boredom, however, is not.
Thanks to a plethora of
activities on campus or nearby,
students shouldn’t have a hard
time filling the days meeting
new people, listening to music
or getting some good eats.
On Friday and Saturday
nights, NU Directions will
hold its first ever back-to
school bash. The events start
Friday night with free movies
at midnight at the Star Ship
Theater, located at 1311 Q St.
Students can choose
between “Notting Hill,”
“Austin Powers: the Spy Who
Shagged Me” and
“Entrapment.” Admission is
free with a student ID.
The events on Saturday
begin at 10 p.m. with a DJ and
games in front of the Nebraska
Union. Students can partici
pate in Gladiator Joust and
sumo wrestling or climb a
Velcro wall.
From midnight to 2 a.m.,
UNL faculty and staff will
serve students free pancakes.
NU Directions student
coordinator Chris Linder said
the group is putting on the
event to start off the year on a
happy note.
“We want to kick off the
school year with something
positive,” Linder said.
The group, which pro
motes alcohol awareness and
responsible drinking, hopes to
make the event a tradition.
Students also can take in
some live music and fried food
downtown this weekend at the
Rock ‘n Runza Block Party.
P Street will be blocked off
from 14th to 16th streets for the
party, which celebrates
Runza’s 50th anniversary.
Friday starting at 7 p.m.,
the bands One More Time and
Rumble will play. At 10 p.m.,
Three Dog Night will take the
stage, which will be located on
Centennial Mall.
On Saturday from 10 a.m.
to 3 p.m., there will be a free
family festival. Food vendors
will be present on the grounds.
Bands will begin playing at 5
p.m. The Nebraska Rock ‘n
Roll Hall of Fame will play
music from the ’50s and ’60s,
followed by the Fabulous
Formaldehydes and the Little
River Band.
Food coupons for the event
will be available at the back-to
school bash.
Theresa Latosh, director of
marketing for Runza
International, said she is
expecting as many as 15,000
people at the event. She hopes
most will be students.
“We are expecting that
since students are coming
back this weekend, it will be a
great activity for them,”
Latosh said.
Tickets for the Rock ‘n
Runza Block Party are avail
able at all Runza restaurants
and Homers. They cost $6 for a
one-day pass and $10 for a
two-day pass. Tickets cost $8
at the gate.
Construction projects abound
By Kimberly Sweet
Senior staff writer
With a ceremonial splash of water gurgling out
of the new Broyhill Fountain last spring, the univer
sity celebrated the completion of the renovations to
the Nebraska Union.
The completion of the union project meant an
end to the invasion of construction workers and
equipment in students’ main hangout on campus.
But the presence of fences, bulldozers and con
struction workers will not disappear anytime soon,
said Howard Parker, UNL Facilities Planning and
Construction manager.
“It’s going to cause some inconvenience to put it
mildly, but it’s going to be worth it,” Parker said. “In
six years’ time, our campus will be much
improved.”
Much of the construction will be new structures
on campus. The Esther L. Kauffman Academic
Residential Center and a building to replace Lyman
and Bancroft halls will be completed by 2001.
Projects are scheduled to renovate buildings
whose infrastructures are falling into disrepair.
The building boom, the biggest since 1960,
comes when many buildings need maintenance.
“Our campus is an aging campus,” Parker said.
“There is a whole generation of buildings, falling
into disrepair.”
Thanks to $60 million approved by the
Nebraska Legislature for deferred maintenance
projects, the needed renovations can be done.
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln has had
large donations to fund projects such as the
Kauffman Residential Center, the Winslow and
Irene Van Brunt Visitors Center and a new building
for the Mary Riepma Ross Film Theater.
Parker said that most of the big projects being
planned will be done or started during the next six *
years. Projects beginning this fall include:
■ Tearing down the International Affairs and
the Summer Sessions offices on R Street. After
asbestos removal, crews will clear the area between
13th Street and the Temple Building to build the
Ross Theater and Welcome Center, said Tracy
Aksamite, project manager. The offices will move
to the newly remodeled 420 University Terrace, the
old Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity house.
■ Love Library South infrastructure renovation
will begin this fall, said Clark DeVries, project
manager. A penthouse will be built on top of the
library for a new air handling system.
Administrative offices will be moved upstairs, and
the Great Plains collection will be moved for more
reading rooms. The entrance will also be updated.
To accommodate the library construction, a new
book drop was added on the west side of campus in
the parking lot south of Architecture Hall.
■A new building will be built between Henzlik
and Mabel Lee Hall. This building will replace
Lyman and Bancroft halls. Construction is sched
uled to start in November and slated to be complet
ed in May 2001. The two old halls will be demol
ished once construction on the replacement build
ing is complete.
