■The Hubble telescope travels to
SAC Museum from the Smithsonian
Institute with hands-on activities.
BY MAUREEN GALLAGHER
“Hubble Space Telescope: New
Views of the Universe,” the newest
exhibit at the Strategic Air Command
Museum, gives visitors a look into
the heart of the universe with its
vivid images of distant galaxies,
quasars, black holes and exploding
stars.
The SAC Museum, located at Exit
426 off Interstate 80, will house the
exhibit from Feb. 4-April 29.
Admission is $6.
The traveling exhibit, which
came from the Smithsonian
Institute, was designed to reflect the
Significance of the Hubble Telescope
and its mission.
The Hubble has been collecting
data and images since April of 1990.
According to SAC Curator Brian
York, the Hubble exhibit ismore than
just a collection of Hubble images,
but rather reflects the museum's goal
of inspiring, educating and enter
taining the public.
"This is a very hands-on exhibit,”
York said. “You can touch almost
everything, and there are more than
15 interactive activities.”
Visitors enter the exhibit through
a darkened tunnel. Inside the tunnel,
Hubble images rush towards view
ers, accompanied by “space” sounds,
all designed to “set the mood” of the
exhibit.
When exiting the tunnel, visitors
see a scale model of the Hubble
Telescope placed over a replica of the
Earth. Here the exhibit is divided into
sections, each exploring a different
aspect of the Hubble Telescope, it’s
mission and the contributions it has
made to modem science.
This is a very hands-on
exhibit. You can touch
almost everything, and
there are more than 15
interactive activities
Brian York
SAC curator
One part of the exhibit allows vis
itors to measure the distance of
galaxies and another allows them to
launch comets into Jupiter. Other
parts of the exhibit show how scien
tists use Hubble data to determine
the age of stars and the structures
and shapes of galaxies.
According to York, the exhibit
should not be missed.
“There are some very fun activi
ties,” York said. “The whole exhibit is
pretty amazing,”

■ The Scarlet and Cream Singers say the
bond that's made from the rehearsals and
performances lasts a lifetime.
BY ALEXIS BNERSON
The University of Nebraska at Lincoln
Scarlet and Cream Singers said they were
more than just a singing and dancing group.
They're a family.
It’s not easy to get into the group, said
Chad Reade, a senior biology major.
“The competition is hard,” Reade said,
“but that's cool. It makes people in it glad
they are.”
Once a member of the group, there is a
rigorous first week of rehearsal in jazz- and
Broadway-type songs. This year, the group
was able to go to Okiboji, Iowa, for this first
week.
The rehearsals began Sunday morning,
and on Friday night, only six days later, they
performed their first show, Reade said.
“Last year at Okiboji was really fim,” said
Eric Wolford, a senior broadcast major. “I
really enjoyed it, but we worked hard, too.”
Along with rehearsals every Tuesday,
Thursday and some Sundays, the group,
founded in 1973 and sponsored by the
Alumni Association, performs approximate
ly 60 shows a year, according to Wolford, a
fourth-year member.
“It’s pretty hard not to be close,” said
Reade, also a fourth-year member. "There
are a lot of family elements to the group.”
Wolford said he thought the more trips
the group went on, the better the chemistry
was between them. He had many memories
from past trips, one of which was this year
when the Scarlet and Cream Singers per
formed on stage at the House of Blues in
Chicago.
Even with all of the rehearsals and per
formances, these students also have work
and class schedules to juggle.
All of the members maintain full-time
student status at UNL. Along with that,
many hold outside jobs and are involved in
other areas on campus.
“My schedule gets pretty tight as far as
time goes,” said Tim Anderson, a senior mar
keting major.
But senior elementary education major
Jessica Steyer said she felt the work was
"totally worth it.”
And for Anderson, a fourth year member,
the work didn’t detour him from wanting to
join the group. He said he felt it was his “des
tiny.”
Anderson’s mother was a member of the
group before they were called the Scarlet and
Cream Singers, he said.
Destiny would play another role in
Anderson’s life because he met his wile
through the group.
“Whenever you see someone
you know was in Scarlet and
Cream there is an instant
connection.Their stories from
the past turned into lour of the
present and, hopefully, our
stories will turn into lour of the
future
Tim Anderson
Scarlet and Cream singer
The closeness of the Scarlet and Cream
Singers is not just within the current mem
JrclSThowever.
“Whenever you see someone you know
was in Scarlet and Cream, there is an instant
connection,” Anderson said. “Their stories
from the past turned into lore of the present
and, hopefully, our stories will turn into lore
of the future.”
Now, in their 28th year, the Scarlet and
Cream Singers have been appointed by the
governor to perform in Washington, D.C.
“I am very excited for the Washington,
D.C. show,” Anderson said. “We'll be able to
show them that Nebraska has pride in the
music area.”

■The award-winning Irish
ensemble will showcase their
latest album on Saturday.
BY BILLY SMUCK
An internationally
acclaimed and Grammy award -
winning ensemble, the
Chieftains, returns for a one
night show Saturday, Feb. 3 at
7:30 p.m. to the Lied Center for
Performing Arts. *
Regarded as the most
famous performers of tradi
tional Irish music in the world,
the Chieftains received their
18th Grammy nomination for
"Water from the Well,” released
in 2000. They already have won
six Grammys.
More than half of the music
for Saturday’s performance will
come from that album, which
focuses on the roots of Irish folk
music.
While maintaining that tra
dition, the Chieftains play a
unique style of Irish folk music
that was made through their
own collaborations with artists
such as Sting, Bonnie Raitt and
Mick Jagger.
"They’ve been playing as an
ensemble for a long time,” said
Lied Director Charles Bethea.
“They have put their own
imprints on the music, but base
it on traditional Irish music."
The Chieftains appeared
last season for the Lied’s 10th
anniversary, Bethea said. They
had to do quite a bit of negotiat
ing the first time they brought
the Chieftains to Lincoln.
“They’re very much in
demand," Bethea said. “Their
touring schedule is somewhat
restricted.”
Bethea said arrangements
were made early this time to
book the group, which devotes
six months out of the year to
touring while spending the
other half of the year back
home in Ireland.
“They’re wildly popular,”
Bethea said. “They could be
booked every night of the year if
they wanted to.”
In addition to performing
and touring, the group recently
has appeared as guests on “The
Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” as
well as “Saturday Night Live”
and NBC’s “Today Show” in the
past. .
Their work has been fea

For some students, Omaha is the place to be on weekends
■ Bars, dubs and the Old Market are
just a few of the reasons the city is
gaining a steady following.
BY SEAN MCCARTHY
On Friday and Saturday nights,
Lincoln experiences a drain altogether dif
ferent than the much-discussed “brain
drain” at the University of Nebraska
Lincoln.
Instead of a brain migration, Lincoln
feels a rump migration as many UNL stu
dents opt to pack into cars and trek up to
Omaha to dance. Some even drive back
that same night
The attraction may be one of conven
ience, since Omaha is the home of many
students.
It also may be because Omaha is a big
ger city with more activities to do on an
average night than Lincoln.
Some students would rather take the
50 minute drive up to Omaha to take
advantage of later hours: bars such as
Guitars & Cadillacs, 10865 West Dodge
Road, and The Omaha Mining Company,
1715 Leavenworth St., offer after-hours
club dancing.
Guitars & Cadillacs has a built-in
advantage when it comes to attracting
UNL students: the Lincoln location closed
last year.
Another factor that draws students to
Omaha is the Old Market.
Along with the advantage of having
several bars in a historic district, many
bars and dance clubs feature themes and
music not found in most Lincoln bars.
Thom Stansberry, manager of Bar 415,
415 S. 13th St, in the Old Market, said the
“It’s wonderful that people
from Lincoln are coming up
here. I used to live in Lincoln
and I miss the people ”
