UFO's
;By Ivy Harper
As the projector rises in the domed room,
blackness sets in and stars slowly appear. Families
and students stare at the rotating sky and vertigo
takes over.
Sunday afternoon at UNL's Mueller planetarium
in Morrill Hall.
The narrator gives a short history of the
constellations with the Moody Blues, Debussy and
Boston Pops in the background.
The music goes electronic and "Visitors from
Outer Space," the UFO show begins.
Jack Dunn, planetarium coordinator, wrote the
script and said he tried to give both sides of UFO
reportings.
Dunn said he did not want to come to any
conclusions about UFO's, because it is easy, to
scare the audience or to make UFO's seem
ridiculous.
It is like being alone on a ship at night with
music emanating everywhere.
The reaction of the audience to the program
could be seen by the clinched fists and open
mouths of the children.
Don Spearow, a sophomore at UNL, said he
would definitely recommend it to anyone. He said
that he has been to other planetariums around the
United States and this ''one is above average."
Jeff Armstrong, a sophomore at UNL, said he
came to the show because his interested in
astronomy.
Tom Stack, also a sophomore, said, "I've never
seen a UFO and I'm interested in any information
that can tei! me more about them."
Humor is injected in the narration but the main
purpose is to "give serious attention to the UFO's
that people see."
Dunn explains the most famous and reliable
UFO sightings and tells how it is possible to test
the reliability of those who report them.
The show costs 35 cents for students and 75
cents for adults and will be shown every Saturday
and Sunday afternoon for the next six weeks.
Employe taxis save time, gas
By Ivy Harper
Drivers, organizers and passengers
agree that ah experimental ' 'tajsLLL
service bagun this summer at UNL is
working.
The idea to pool state cars, used for
university business, to conserve gas and
time came from a brainstorming session
between the finance and business
department heads Ray Coffey, assistant
business manager at UNL, said.
. Coffey said the Initial experiment
begun in June involved administration,
Nebraska Hall and the Physical Plant
giving up seven state cars.
The departments were then given use
of two state cars operated like a
commercial cab system,
Coffey said the basic policy of the
state had been to operate under a
centralized car pool for UNL. Each
department was given a certain number
of cars for employees to use for
business. They would sign up for them
individually, he said, sometimes tying
them up for longer periods than needed.
Now if an administrator needs to go to
the Statehouse, he calls dispatcher
Diane Nelson and she sends out a cab.
She said the taxi idea is working out
fine because now more people can ride
in state cars. Before, she said, they had
to sign up for days but now they can go
on a trip by trip basis.
Ruth Mickalecki, director of commun
ications, said the new service has been
put under her office because the cars are
equipped with mobile radio units.
MirkaSfirkl has issued a guide telling
who can use the service and how they
should use it.
She said it is strictly for UNL business
and that students should not feel that
there is a taxi operation on campus.
Michalecki said the most impor
tant service is people, but in emergen
xie&, the-cab drivers will -deliver
packages. " ir " !
UNL students are the drivers of the
cars, she said, and she hopes that it will
remain that way. There have been some
minor problems with scheduling but she
is confident that students will stay as the
drivers, she said.
One of the first cab driving students,
Judy Erickson, said that she liked the
job because of the interesting people
she has met.
She said that she had some problems
figuring out where to go, but that Is
because she is a freshman and not
familiar with thecampus.
Jan Kelly, a secretary for the
Personnel Dept., said she took a cab this
summer for business and found it
"quite handy."
She said it is helpful because it allows
the messengers to get more work done
when they don't have to worry about
signing up for cars and running errands.
Coffey said that the idea caught on so
fast that the service has been approved
and will be expanded. One more car has
been added bringing the total to three,
he said.
He said during the initial experiment
the service was limited to just the three
departments but now it is open to all
departments.
The program will be evaluated
cost benefit scale to see if
economically beneficial. ,
There are many services, like
and convenience, Coffey said
cannot be measured monetarily.
Coffey said that as far a3 he knows, no
other university has a program similar
to this one.
