Beginning Thursday, city vol
unteers will distribute postcards
around town which will contain
survey questions aimed at help
ing the public and private sectors
decide the future of downtown
parking, Mayor Roland Lucdtke
announced Thursday at a 2 p.m.
news conference.
"I strongly urge people to fill
out the survey on the postcards
and put them in the mail right
away. Thi3 will greatly help us in
determining the characteristics
of downtown parkers and their
needs," Luedtke said.
Luedtke also proclaimed Wed
nesday as Small Business Day In
Lincoln. Members of the Lincoln
Chamber of Commerce and sev
eral other organizations will visit
40 businesses around the city.
Through these visits, we hope
to gain a better understanding of
the needs and concerns of Lin
coln businesses, Leudtke said.
"By understanding some of the
problems and perceptions Lincoln
businessmen have, we can work
with them in arriving at solu
tions," he said. This is another
example of the coalition of pro
gress I talked about even before
becoming mayor." Luedtke em
phasized the need to continue
ongoing outreach programs for
businesses.
Lincoln has received $32,500 in
donations for its downtown sculp
ture project to be created by
sculptor Jene Highstein. However,
Luedtke said the city is $7,500
short of the $40,000 needed to get
matching funds from the National
Endowment for the Arts. The
sculpture will consist of two pie
ces of black granite and will be
placed at 10th and O streets.
Luedtke presented certificates
to the Seacrest Foundation, the
National Bank of Commerce, the
Winette Trust and the Woods
Charitible fund for their contri
butions to the project, which is
expected to be completed by the
spring of 1985.

A new internship program has made
the UNL Pre-Dental Club one of the
best in the country, said Jason Hansen,
vice president of the club.
The pre-dental club was formed in
the late 1970s to provide educational
and social benefits to its members,
Hansen said. It now has about 40
members, he said.
The ciub has "the most complete col
lection of application procedures to
dental colleges available at any pu
dental college " Hansen said.
Intern members have access to ap
plications to 40 out of 60 U.S. dental
colleges, and half of the Canadian den
tal colleges, he said.
The internship program shows stu
dents the professional side of dentistry
and dental hygiene, Hansen said.
"Through the opportunity cf viewing
the actual operations and becoming a
part of our dental office, students can
determine if they are actually suited
for the dentistiy or hygie nc field," he
said.
Club memberships requirements in
clude $15 annual dues and attendance
at three of five meetings each semes
ter, one of two social events and one
fund-raising event To be eligible for
the intern program, a student must
remain an active club member and be
certified in cardiopulmonary resusci
tation (CPR) and first aid. ,
Eligible applicants are then placed
in dental offices for four to eight hours
a week for one semester.
Hansen said no pattern is set for a
student's internship because the pro
gram is so new. After their first semes
ter in the program, students may con
tinue working with the same dentist or
hygienist or be placed in a different
office. Some may go to work in one of
the NU Medical Center College of Den
tistry specialty departments, such as
oral surgery or orthodontics.
By this stage in the program, partic
ipants should have a good idea of their
goals and know which professional
courses to follow, Hansen said.
Local support for the program was
overwhelming, with 32 Lincoln dent
ists taking interns, Hansen said. Of the
32 students who participated, three
quit the program because they decided
dentistry wasn't for them, he said. Of
the members who stayed on the job, 15
got favorable evaluations, Hansen said.
During the 1984-85 school year, the
pre-dental club will have speakers on
dental college admissions, oral surgery
and gingival grafting a new period
ontal techique. The club also has ar
ranged workshops on financial aid,
marriage, setting up a practice and
interviewing.
Membership dues cover most of the
club's operating costs. The club's office
in the East Union has a WATTS-line
telephone for contacting dental col
leges. Students interested in joining the
club can call 472-5379 Monday through
Thursday for more information. ,
