Kelly Saxon, age 10, rides his scooter in front of the F Street Recreation Center's temporary playground at 930 S.13th St. The com

we can often provide a meal for just 20 cents per
child,” Decker said.
She said last year a Greek group gave the pro
ceeds from a dance they held. They expected a few
hundred dollars, but were pleasantly surprised.
“They gave us $2000, Decker said. “That’s
enough to fund our after school food program for a
year."
The new recreation center is expected to open
in January 2002. Until then, Decker said they will
make due with their temporary location.
“The other night I stood outside and watched
the ball go over the fence 22 times m the space of
an hour.” Decker said. “I cant wait until we move

ent departments or campuses,
is another of Ferlic’s goals, he
said.
This type of research bene
fits everyone involved and helps
increase cooperation among
campuses, he said.
“It'd be good to obliterate
some of the traditional hostility
among the four campuses,” he
said.
During Matzke and Ferlic’s
freshmen terms, they may have
to address an issue that’s divid
ed the state - aborted fetal tissue
research conducted at the
University of Nebraska Medical
Center.
The issue will also be on the
forefront for the Legislature,
where a new bill could prohibit
the use of aborted fetal cells if a
substitute is found.
While Ferlic and Matzke
agreed on tuition and financial
aid issues, they disagreed on
whether the research should
continue.
“To me, it's very simple,”
Ferlic said. “I don’t think the uni
versity should use surgically
aborted cells for research.”
Ferlic said the controversial
research can jeopardize the uni
versity's funding, which is
, something NU should try to
avoid.
Matzke, on the other hand,
said he hasn’t seen a direct cor
relation between the use of
aborted tissue and an increasing
number of abortions in the
state.
Because of this fact, Matzke,
who said he’s against abortion,
said he could support the
research.
“I think both sides need to
tone down the rhetoric,” Matzke
said.
“We’re talking about neu
rons, not baby brains.”
“It’d be good to
obliterate some of the
traditional hostility
< among the four
campuses."

But both agreed researchers
should continue to pursue and
utilize alternative sources for
the research.
Although contentious issues
seem to be everywhere, Regent
Nancy O’Brien ofWaterloo said
this year’s just like any other.
O’Brien, who’s worked with
Matzke and Ferlic before, said
she had confidence in the
board’s newest members.
“I’m happy they're joining

TWA files for bankruptcy;
American acquires assets
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Trans World
Airlines will announce
Wednesday its plans to file for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protec
tion and accept a buyout by
AMR Corp.’s American Airlines.
TWA CEO Bill Compton
briefed political leaders in
Missouri on the deal via tele
phone after the airline’s board
approved it Tuesday evening.
U.S. Rep. William Lacy Clay,
a Democrat from St. Louis, said
Compton told him the deal
would be announced at 9 a.m.
EST today in New York. A press
conference will follow in St.
Louis at 11 a.m. CST.
' “I think this is a good deal all
the way around for TWA
employees and Lambert
Airport,” Clay told The
Associated Press. "The people of
St. Louis are the big winners in,
this deal.”
TWA spokeswoman Julia
Bishop-Cross refused to com
ment, as did a spokesman for
AMR.
While he was not given any
financial details, Clay said
Compton promised American
would keep all of the airline’s
union employees and that St.
Louis would remain a hub.
According to a report on The
Wall Street Journal’s Web site,
American will pay TWA $500
million and assume about $3
billion of aircraft operating leas
es.
TWA would attempt to file
for Chapter 11 bankruptcy late
Tuesday night or Wednesday,
the Journal reported, citing peo
ple close to the situation.
AMR’s board met Tuesday
evening to approve the offer fot
TWA and to finalize a deal to buy
$1.3 billion worth of assets from
US Airways Group Inc., the
Journal reported.
American will reportedly
acquire about 20 percent of US
Airways assets. It's a deal that
might help UAL Corp.’s United
Airlines gain regulatory
approval of its $4.3 billion pur
chase of US Airways, according
to analysts.
If approved by the court and
federal regulators, the buyout
would become part of a larger
deal turning Fort Worth-based
American into a carrier holding
25 percent of the U.S. passenger
market.
It would also bring an end to
TWA, an airline that traces its
roots to the 1925 founding of

deal all the way
around for TWA

popes and movies stars, once
ruled skies around the world
with Pan American World and
held that world in rapt attention
during a 1985 hijacking and the
1996 crash of a flight from New
York to Paris.
If approved and completed,
the deals would give Chicago
based United and American
control of more than half of the
U.S. air travel market. Skeptics
in Washington, including sever
al U.S. Senators, expect
Congress to hold hearings on
the mergers.
Director leaves UNLforfamily
DIRECTOR from page 1
cellor for student affairs, said
the search for a new Student
Involvement director will begin
soon.
Griesen said Bugenhagen’s
work as director had been
nationally recognized, and her
departure was a big loss to the
university.
The role of Student
Involvement director is critical
to campus life, Griesen said.
“We’re anxious to continue
the strong tradition of Student
Involvement that Marilyn set
forth,” he said.
Daryl Swanson, director of
Nebraska Unions, said Assistant
Director of Student
Involvement Diane Podolske
would serve as the interim asso
ciate director of the Nebraska
Unions.
Podolske has worked at
UNL for more than 10 years,
Swanson said.
During Bugenhagen’s time
as associate director of
Nebraska Unions, a new
Student Involvement office was
opened, Swanson said.
Biigenhagen played a major
role in designing Student
Involvement’s current office.
“She left big shoes to fill,”
Swanson said.
