Despite its omnipotent presence and enormous price tag, no one has ever been seen entering or leaving the Jackie Gaughan Multicultural Center.

UNL head caretaker Clarence Johnson has independently confirmed that no member of his staff has ever set foot in the facility. Indeed, they don’t even have keys.

“We see silhouettes of people in there, and they’re moving around,” Johnson said. “But we can’t open the door, and I’ve never been able to find anyone who has keys. I just tell the guys to stay clear of the place, and that if they must go near it, keep the mop handle ready.”

It is relatively common knowledge that no student has ever been in the facility, despite the various offerings of speakers and programming.

“That big windowed building by the Union? Yeah, it sure looks nice,” said Tri Delta member Kaye Adams. “But I’m pretty sure that we’re not allow to go there. Not that I would want to, anyway. What do they use it for?”

So far, no one has been able to answer this question. University administrators have so far refused to elaborate when asked, which did little to temper the flames on the persistent rumors that several drunk students have disappeared in the vicinity of the Center late at night.

“We built it, and someone is clearly using it,” said an anonymous University source. “Everything else is known but to God. Or…maybe…something else.”

As of press time, the Multicultural center remains an impenetrable obelisk, noteworthy only for its unknown purpose and carrying the branding of a random, rich Nebraskan.

The University, however, has made no plans to attempt to pierce the Center’s veil of mystery and danger.

“Frankly, we don’t want to get anywhere near that place, either,” the anonymous University source said.
