Barnett calls UNL
'fire trap,' cites poor exits
by Duane Leibhart
UNL's Coliseum is a fire
trap according to State Senator
Wallace Barnett of Lincoln.
Barnett, a former assistant
state fire marshal, said it needs
to be either rebuilt or
condemned.
It there were a fire the
deaths wouldn't come from the
actual fire, he said. Deaths in
fires are usually results of
asphyxiation or panic. Barnett
said with the first whiff of
smoke a crowd of basketball
fans jammed into the
coliseum's balcony would
trample each other trying to
get out the inadequate exits.
THERE HAVE been fire
personnel on duty at basketball
games for the last two or three
years, checking under the
stands for possible fires, the
senator said.
According to Barnett, the
only thing to do is to work out
some way of getting a crowd

out in under two minutes.
"I know that's impossible
now," he said, "since most of
the seating is in the balcony."
If UNL wants to use the
building for intramural sports,
the University will need to
pinch off that balcony, said the
senator.
"I'm really serious about
this, even though some may
interpret it as political,"
Barnett said. "It's not intended
to be. I'm not trying to hurt
basketball attendance, but as
long as it's like it is now, I'm
not about to go to any
basketball games," he said.
BARNETT sees the solution
to the problem in the
construction of a field house
by the increase in the cigaret
tax as approved by the last
Legislature.
According to George Miller,
director of physical plants for
the University, safety standards
of the "Life Safety Code" that
has been adopted by the state
fire marshal's office are
continually upgraded.
Perhpas the Coliseum met
safety standards in 1925 when
it was built, but now standards
are stricter, he said. "We are in
the process of adding more
doors to the sides of the
Coliseum at the suggestion of
the state fire marshal's office,"
Miller said.

Coliseum
THF DIRECTOR said
building construction standards
change and make some
structures obsolete. Now it is
required that new buildings
have closed stairwells like
Oldfather and Hamilton Hall,
but that doesn't mean UNL
can afford to tear down all its
old buildings such as Love
Library, he said.
Part of the reason the
University is remodeling Avery
Laboratory is because fire is a
danger in a chemical laboratory.
There is much more chance of
fire in Avery than in the
Coliseum, Miller said.
IN A FIRE you need two
exits in case one is blocked by
the blaze, the director said. In
Avery there were a lot of
dead-end corridors with no
exits, he said. Shortly before
remodeling the building, UNL
added temporary exits to those
blind corridors, ' following a
suggestion from the state tire
marshal.
Miller said he hopes the
University will keep the
Coliseum in use for a good
many years. "We try to
upgrade safety standards in our
buildings as time goes on," he
said, "but if a building needs to
be rebuilt we usually rely on
the state fire marshal's office
to tell us."
