An artists conception of a new apartment complex at 23rd and Y
streets in Lincoln. When completed the units will be available for
low income residents and married college students.
Low income housing
available to students
By John Nollendorf s
Nebrasfcan Staff Writer
Married students will be eligible to
rent low income housing units to be
constructed at 23rd and Y streets, ac
cording to Herb Hamilton, director of
leasing for the Lincoln Housing
Authority.
Hamilton said that the 77-apartment
unit near campus will be available to
three types of renters. Married
students, low income families and
elderly people with low incomes are
eligible.
However, in a complex such as this,
he said, composition of types living
there is very important. He said that
each class of people has their own re
quirements. "It would not be feasable to mix
married students, elderly and low in
come in the same complex," Hamilton
said. Hamilton said that decisions as
to who will be put into the unit will be
made on an individual basis.
To qualify for low cost housing,
Hamilton said there will be certain
income requirements.
He said that for married students to
qualify, the head of the family must
be a full-time undergraduate or
graduate student. A base income of
not more than $3,200 a year is re
quired. For ' each dependent, $300 a
year would be added to this figure up
to a maximum of $4,700 a year in
come. Halton said family composition
will be taken into account when ren
ting units. He said one-bedroom units
would be for a maximum of two peo
ple, two-bedroom -units for three to
five persons, and three-bedroom units
the largest unit for four to seven peo
ple. He said that approximate rates
would be $60 a month for a one
bedroom unit, $70 two-bedroom, and
$80 for the three-bedroom units.
Gerald Hendrson, Lincoln Human
Rights officer, said that the develop
ment would only help a very small
number of people. He said that a low
Income family with children would
probably have no desire to live in that
type of dwelling.
"For this reason," he said, "talk
has been centering around students
and the eklsrly to occupy these units.
There are very few new developments
for kw income families," Henderson
said.
"I see a great need in Lincoln for
low and medium cost housing which
can be rented." he said. With the
whole area of relocation in the Malone
area, Henderson continued, there is
need for more family dwellings.
Robert Sim, representative of the
five Lincoln insurance firms who are
financing the development, called the
situation very unusual.
He said that in cities where a
minimum housing ordinance is in ef
fect, the government allows for
federally insured loans issued by in
surance companies to provide for such
low cost housing.
But in Lincoln, he said, such loans
were not possible. The companies
joining together, owning and leasing
the apartment complex "was the only
way we could do it."
Sim said that the 77-unit complex
would be leased to the Lincoln Hous
ing Authority for $130,000 annually.
This would include all costs associated
with the apartments including
utilities, but excluding telephones.
The proposed lease, he said, would
run for 20 years.

Sim said that it is very difficult for
the Lincoln Housing Authority to set
leases cn dwelling units at a level that
low income groups can afford.
The rent assistance program under
the Housing Urban Development Act
(HUD) is what makes this better type
of housing available to the low income
groups, which they otherwise could
not afford.
He said that the rental assistance
program makes up the difference
between what the tenant can afford to
pay and the cost of the lease.
"At current day costs, no one else
would want to build it" Sim said.
Most developers would want to ex
pect a return of 14 to 20 per cent, he
said. The insurance companies will
get only about a seven percent
return.
"This is the lowest rental pattern
wrich would be consistent with
today's costs," Sim said.
"No one (private developers) is
beating a path to the doors of the
Housing Authority," he said.
The development at 23rd and Y
Streets will probably be completed by
the end of the year, Sim said.
Originally, plans called for its com
pletion this October, but because of
adverse weather, this date probably
won't be met, he said.

NU employee retires
The holder of the all-fime record
for employment with the University
retired this month. Henry Horn, .for
mer maintenance worker in ihe power
plant, retired Feb. 1 after a 50-yesr
career.
Horn joined the power plant staff
in 1919 as a fireman's helper when
coal was the University's fue'.
Horn also served as a crane oper
ator "for a while" and then in the
maintenance department where he
completed his career with the Univer
sity. "You don't notice the changes in
the University too much, because they
happen sort of gradually," Horn said.
"There's been quite a bit the last
couple of years though."
"I suppose the biggest change in
my job," he continued, "is that all
the boilers are automatic now." But
automation has not displaced Horn's
fellow workers. "There seems to be
about as many men working in the
plant as ever before," he said.
Asked what he's been doing in re
tirement, Horn replied, "Nothing
much yet. It's been too darn cold to
get outdoors. But I've seen a lot of
bad winters in my time."

'Arab tie more significant
than Israel tie Dr. Held
U.S. ties with the Arab world are
"immeasurably more significant than
those with Israel," Dr. Colbert Held,
former geographical attache 1 0
Lebanon, said last week.
Held -speaking at Farifield lounne,
called the Middle East crisis "terribly
significant and crucial."
HELD confined -defining
the American interest in the
crisis rather than preierr. .
or Israeli viewpoint. The theme of
his talk was U.S. interest in the Mid
dle East crisis.
Held said that the Zionist viewpoint
is more than adequately given in U.S.
news media, while U.S. interest in
the Arab world is underplayed
Held said equating Jewishness
with Zionism is confusing to many
people, including the Jews.
He explained that the Israelis be
moan being involved and criticize the
United Nations, which was mainly
responsible for the formation of the
Israeli state.
Elaborating on why Arab ties are
more important to the U.S., Held
mentioned the strategic location
(more land than Israel), 14 Arab na
tions one Israel and the oil
resources of the Arab nations.
DISCUSSING U.S. support for
Israel, he talked of the admiration
for the Israelis as underdogs, and
American guilt pangs about Germany
in World War II. He added that it

If you're tired of using
two or more separate so
lutions to take care of
your contact lenses, we
have the solution. It's
Lensine the all-purpose
lens solution for com
plete contact lens care
preparing, cleaning, and
soaking. Just a drop or
two of Lensine before you
insert your contacts coats
and lubricates the lens
surface making it smooth
er and non-irritating.
Cleaning your contacts
with Lensine retards the
buildup of foreign de
posits on the lenses.
Lensine is sterile, self
sanitizing, and antisep
tic making it ideal for
storage of your lenses
between wearing periods.
And you get a removable
storage case on the bot
tom of every bottle, a
Lensine exclusive for
proper lens hygiene. It
has been demonstrated
Si
. ft

that improper storage
between wearings may
result in the growth of
bacteria on the lenses.
This is a sure cause of eye
irritation and could seri
ously endanger vision.
w.)s these issues, and not the Jewish
' vote, that led to U S involvement.
Held said that he U.S. should im
mediately mend its fences with the
Arab nations.
He added that the U.S. had given
$1.3 billion to Israel in direct aid and
more than twice as much in con
tracts. According to Held, people have to
understand that although Israel's
creation as a state has caused prob
lems, the Israelis have a feeling and
justification for existence as a state.
But their method of defending
themselves has escalated beyond what
is appropriate, he continued.
