    Perlman approves
Culture Center plans
CENTER from page 1
dents from attending events at
the center.
Also, the acoustics are bad
and the seating is limited,
which makes it difficult to bring
in big-name speakers or bands.
"The present facility is so
inadequate,” Griesen said. “The
outside is charming, but, func
tionally, it’s not good.”
The current center works as
a lounge and a meeting place
for student organizations,
Griesen said, but not much else.
The new center also would
house UNL faculty and staff
members who work directly
with minority students.
The minority assistance
staff is currently located in the
Canfield Administration build
ing.
Griesen said he also envi
sioned a computer lab in the
new Culture Center and some
sort of academic support unit.
Besides beginning work
immediately on the project
statement, Griesen said he
would also contact the
Nebraska State Historical
Society and Alpha Phi sorority.
It’s important to make sure
nearby property holders don’t
have concerns about the union
addition, he said.
He will also contact the
University of Nebraska
Foundation to formally request
funding.
Griesen said the project
would need money from indi
vidual donors and corporate
and foundation grants.
Employees of the Culture
Center need a higher quality
facility to better serve minority
students, Russell said.
“Having a new culture cen
ter would be great,” she said.
“We need a new one to help the
groups we have here.”
Being located in the union
would help attendance at
Culture Center events, Russell
said.
Now, the center has a lounge
and a pool table, but nobody
knows about them, she said.
"This is what it’s made for -
to chill out and get together,”
she said. “Everyone who opens
this door is opening themselves
up to a new culture.”
Shane Ostermeier, a gradu
ate assistant at the center, said
the administration would be
asking students and Culture
Center employees for input on
the new building.
Ostermeier said it was
important student concerns
were finally being heard.
“This is something students
have been working on behind
the scenes for a long time,” he
said. “It's good to see the
administration has taken it to
the level it needed to be taken
to.”
The Culture Center houses
student organizations like the
Mexican American Student
Association, the Afrikan
Peoples Union, the University
of Nebraska Intertribal
Exchange, Lincoln Friends of
Foreign Students, International
Students and the Malaysian
Student Association.
Cheney urges concession
while Gore contests in court
ELECTION from page 1
Gore allies said he won't con
sider quitting before Judge N.
Sanders Sauls rules on his request
for hand recounts in two counties
and the Florida Supreme Court
settles the appeal that will
undoubtedly be lodged fay the los
ing side. The U.S. Supreme Court
is considering the case in a sepa
rate appeal filed fay Bush.
Gore lieutenant Warren
Christopher also mentioned a
Democratic lawsuit in Seminole
County, where GOP officials were
allowed to add information to
thousands of absentee ballot
applications already submitted to
election officials. Their options
running low, Gore aides are pin
ning more of their hopes on the
case in east Florida.
“It's the late innings,"
Christopher said on CBS. “But it’s
far from over." The former secre
tary of state, also appearing on
CNN, charged that Cheney“is try
ing to hurry history along.”
And when would Gore con
cede?
“I can assure you that the vice
president, when the time comes,
will concede in a very gracious
way. He understands his obliga
tions to the people of the country,"
Christopher said, not predicting
when that time would coma
“It depends upon when the
Florida courts rule. The date of
December 12, of course, is an
important date,” he said. States
select their electors Dec. 12, and
the college meets Dec. 18.
Tapes are peek into court
TAPES from page 1
As younger justices who
have grown up with pervasive
media coverage take seats on
the bench, the court will proba
bly relax its stance on media
coverage, he said.
Larry Walklin, a broadcast
ing professor, understands the
battle between news-hungry
journalists and judges who
want to maintain privacy in
their courtrooms.
Walklin serves as the coordi
nator of a media committee
charged with acting as a liaison
between Nebraska courts and
the media.
Walklin said he can under
stand why reporters want
access to the court, and he said
he believes live television cover
age might improve public
awareness about the court
“It would be a very educa
tional opportunity for the gen
eral public,” he said.
But, he said, the court holds
all the cards in the matter and
wants to avoid any extra issues
when dealing with such impor
tant and complicated prob
lems.
“The court likes to be
secluded for thought,” he said.
NU team makes it to computer finals
BY CHARLIE KAUFFMAN
After winning the regional
competition for the American
Association for Computing
Machinery, a team of UNL stu
dents has earned a trip to the
ACM World Finals to be held
March 7-11,2001 in Vancouver,
British Columbia.
Seniors Lucas Sabalka,
Joshua Brown and Yixin "Peter"
Guo beat a field of competitors to
advance to the world finals.
The win marks the second
time in three years a team from
University of Nebraska-Lincoln
has advanced to the World
Finals.
“TVvo years ago, when we last
went to an international, it was in
the Netherlands,” undergradu
ate adviser Chuck Riedesel said.
“This year, I’m excited, I enjoy it,

Two years ago, when we last went to an
international it was in the Netherlands. This
year, I’m excited, I enjoy it, and I’m looking for
another team so I can go to Hawaii next year ”
Chuck Riedesel
undergraduate adviser
and I’m looking for another team
so I can go to Hawaii next year.”
Riedesel said replacements
are needed for next year’s com
petitions since this year’s team
was composed entirely of sen
iors.
Sabalka said the team had to
overcome a late start in practice.
“The first time we went [to
the World Finals], we practiced
for almost 11 months,” Sabalka
said. “This time, we started in the
Chuck Riedesel

summer.”
The competition gives teams
five hours to answer six to eight
questions using a set of provided
equipment. The team who fin
ishes first takes home a $9,000
prize.
“These can be very challeng
ing questions, they’re actually
programming assignments.”
Riedesel said. “These team
members have really been taking
this seriously.”

CLUB from page 1
providing an additional 20,000
square-foot building able to
accommodate 1,500 people.
Nebraska Alumni
Association Spokeswoman
Andrea Cranford said the cost to
join the Champions Club is
$20,000, which gives members
access to the club for 25 years.
Some of the benefits of
membership include a person
alized parking space across
horn the stadium, as well as 12
guest passes for Champions
Club activities.
Paquette said celebrity
Huskers will make appearances
at the club before each home
game. Pre-game and post-game
entertainment will also be pro
vided to members.
Paquette would like to make
the Champions Club an inviting
place where fans and their fam
ilies can gather before and after
games.
Td date, 150 founding mem
berships have been sold, and an
additional 200 are still available.
“What is important for peo
ple to remember is that the
Champions Club is financed
entirely through club member
ships. No taxpayer or tuition
dollars are involved in building
the facility,” Paquette said.
“We feel it is a win-win situ
ation for everyone.”
