Infiltration to
where did the
Acid
by Larry Eckholt
Senior Staff Writer
Many Omahans point to the
22-story Woodman Tower,
now under construction, as a
symbol of their city's growing
up. But turned-on Omahans
point to the Old Market as
proof that the Gateway City
is making the scene.
THE OLD MARKET is lo
cated in one of the city's old
est commercial centers. For
years it was the hub of
wholesale produce sales.
Even now, a few farmers
truck in fresh fruits and
vegetables to sell to local
grocers.
But the old buildings on
Howard St., between 9th and
11th, are getting a new look.
A new market has been
established, catering to those
who like fresh ideas as well
as fresh vegetables.
A gallery of modern art;
an unconventional dress shop;
an art school ; an
underground movie theatre;
an import shop; and a
sprawling pyschedelic center
attract hundreds of persons
to the area each week.
The development of the Old
Market served as a sort of
'economic transplant" for the
blighted area in which it is
located. The Omaha Chamber
of Commerce, city officials
and many civic-minded firms
are delighted with its success,
its initiators said.
The first shop to
materialize was The Farthest
Outpost, owned by Roger
DuRand and Wade Wright.
University
enrollment
now 18,312
If you suspected you were
one of 18,312 students at the
University of Nebraska here
in Lincoln you were right.
Last fall there were 18,067
students on the city and east
campuses in Lincoln and the
Omaha Medical Center. This
year there are 19,024 in
cluding the 712 medical
students in Omaha.
Total record-breaking enroll
ment on the four campuses in
Lincoln and Omaha is nearly
30,000. This reflects the addi
tion of the University of Ne
braska at Omaha with a record
10,788 students enrolled.'
Graduate student enroll
ment is down 92 from last
fall. Many educators felt
there might be a more drastic
decline because of the draft
and military situation.
University officials feel that
the graduate enrollment
might yet reach last fall's
record of 2,631 because
graduate students may enroll
at various times during the
semester.
These figures do not reflect
the 400 students who are
enrolled in credit and non
credit courses in the Ex
tension Division.
A summary of the figures
is as follows:
Total 19.024 up 957
from a year ago.
Agriculture - 1,303 up
91.
Home Economics 760
up 34.
Arts and Sciences 4,189
up 106.
Business Administration
2,019 up 152.
Engineering and Architec
ture 2,239 up 178.
Teachers 3,943 up 330.
Junior Division 529 down
37.
Students at large 137
up 13.
Dentistry 239-up 49.
Law 284 down one.
Medicine and Nursing-SOS
up 94.
Pharmacy 235 up 40.
Graduate - 2,539 down
92. (total includes 104 at the
Medical Center.)

The two had operated a dif
ferent Omaha pyschedelic
shop and decided to expand.
The Outpost opened last
Easter Sunday.
DuRand and Wright credit
much of the Market's success
to Sam Mercer, an Omaha
attorney who owns most of
the property in the area.
Mercer was receptive to the
idea of rejuvenating the run
down area in order to attract
local artists, shoppers, and
eventually the tourist trade.
WHEN DURAND and
Wright signed their lease.
Percey Roche, a native of
Great Britain, agreed to open
His British Imports shop.
Since then the Old Market
has flourished in a
remarkable fashion.
"We thought it would be at
least two years before the
idea would catch on,"
DuRand said. "But I would
estimate at least 20 individ
uals have already, or are
planning to, operate shops in
the Market."
The Gallery in the Market,
featuring local art, opened
three months ago and is
gaining in popularity as "the
place to go" in Omaha to see
contemporary art, DuRand
said. Edison Exposure, the
movie theatre, opened three
weeks ago and is doing
capacity business. It features
foreign films, shown on
Friday and Saturday nights.

fourth-story studio in the
Market's main building for a
number of art classes.
In late October a botlque,
the Looking Glass, will open.
It is a chain operation with
stores in Chelsey, England,
New York, Los Angeles and
Denver, DuRand said. Plain

open that month.
"And within two weeks our
first coffee house should be

a record shop.
And the list continues. A
French resturant is to open
late this year. A bookstore will
be completed by November.
An old hotel is to be
remodeled into apartments
ready for occupation next
year.
THE OLD MARKET is at
tracting a large spectrum of
patrons, DuRand said, adding
that at least half of the buyers
at The Farthest Outpost are
"over 30."
"We don't feel that we are
just a psychedelic shop," he
continued. "We are kind of
an art-noveau general store
for hip people. We sell
artifacts of a new life-style."
The shop features flowers,
jewelry and art made by local
people in addition to the

ed w i t h pyschedelic shops.
Soon, DuRand and Wright
will be featured in an Eye
magazine report on "tuned-on
peopoe in turned-off places."
"Apparently, the magazine
people decided they had given
enough attention to people on
the coasts," Wright explain
ed. "So, they came to
Omaha."
But the Old Market is not
a Haight-Ashbury, or a
Greenwich Village, and many
Omahans seem releaved that
it isn't.
It does demonstrate,
however, that the generation
gap can be bridged, its
developers suggest, since the
Old Market blends the at
mosphere of a departed era
with the symbols of a new
stule of life.
PURPOSE, they add, Is to
broaden the cultural spec
trum of Omaha and Eastern
Nebraska.
"I quit a $10,000 a year jog
to start our shop," said
DuRand, a former architec
tural designer. "I just wanted
to get into something that
better suited my character."
Wright is a former
University journalism stu
dent. He left Lincoln in 1966
and spent some time in San
Francisco. Both he and
DuRand thought that Omaha
was ready for a cultural
"boom" and gambled in the
Market.
Now they think they just
might win.
tion is to elect a permanent
steering 'committee and plan
programs for the year.
Workshops on at least seven
topics that will run all day
Saturday form a major part
of the conference.
Tentative discussion topics
include black liberation and
white radicalism, black unity
(A session for blacks only),
electoral politics, the politics
of the streets, underground
newspapers, student power
and the nature of economic
imperialism.
THE TIMES and places of
the workshops will be
published Friday.
A Saturday night dance
sponsored by the Students for
Peace and Freedom at
Nebraska Wesleyan
University is also a part of
the conference. The dance, to
raise funds for the Peace and
Freedom movement, will be
held on the Wesleyan campus.
The conference has been
endorsed by the Wesleyan
Students for Peace and
Freedom, Students for a
Democratic Society at the
University of Nebraska at
Omaha, the Black Panther
Party of Omaha, the Student
Committee on Political
Education at the University
of Nebraska at Omaha and
the University Students for
Peace and Freedom.
