SENATE RESOLUTION 210--TO COMMEND THE CORNHUSKERS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF 
                                NEBRASKA

  Mr. EXON (for himself and Mr. Kerrey) submitted the following 
resolution; which was considered and agreed to:

                              S. Res. 210

       Whereas Dr. Tom Osborne, the winningest coach in college 
     football, has led the Nebraska Cornhuskers to the last five 
     Big Eight titles, a second perfect season, and repeat of the 
     National Championship;
       Whereas the Huskers have gone undefeated at 25-0 in the 
     last two seasons and 36-1 in the last three seasons, the most 
     victories ever in that time span for any collegiate team;
       Whereas Tommie Frazier, the great Husker quarterback, 
     continued the unmatched Nebraska tradition by being named 
     Most Valuable Player in the last three Championship games and 
     finished his brilliant career with a rushing high 199 yards 
     in the 1996 Fiesta Bowl;
       Whereas the Huskers decisively won the Fiesta Bowl becoming 
     the second football team ever in collegiate history to earn a 
     consensus #1 rank in the major polls for two consecutive 
     years;
       Resolved, That the Senate commends the Cornhuskers of the 
     University of Nebraska at Lincoln for having won the 1995 
     National Collegiate Athletic Association Football 
     Championship.
