Talk till your plant turns green
If you have a plant that won't grow, maybe it
needs a little less water and a little more
stimulating conservation. People who work with
plants may have different opinions, but they do
agree that plants are more than decorative
inanimate objects.
Al Kammerer, who works at Sum of the
Parts plant store, said he advises customers to
realize that plants are living things.
"People have several senses," Kammerer said
"while plants have only one and respond to
things by way of feelings." He said plants are
sensitive to insults, which are hard on plants and
affect growth.
Kammerer said plants can sense things such as
loud noise or loud music. Krammcrer does not
advise his customers to talk to their plants.
Recently there has been work done by
scientists who connect plants to lie detectors.
The plants register discomfort when brine shrimp
are dropped into boiling water, according to Eric
Daves, UNL associate professor of botany.
Boiling shrimp emit a substance that is a
major plant hormone, and induces an electrical
response, he said.
Davies said plants have no emotions but do
perceive things.
"Plants have no nerves, muscles or brain,"
Davies said. "Light and dark, up and down,
electricity and gases in the atmosphere are all
tilings plants perceive," he said.
"Plants respond to sound by absorbing it,"
Davies said. Me said talking to a plant is probably
beneficial, not because of the talking itself, but
because the plant can sense a human's presence.
"Anyone who cares enough about the plants
to talk to them will do other things to take care
of them," Davies said.
Chris Johnson would not agree with Davies.
The Greenfingers employe said plants respond to
attention and talking to plants helps. Johnson
said she has seen instances where talking to a
plant has helped it grow.
"I don't advise customers to talk to plants,"
she said. "Talking to plants is a personal thing.
You show the plants how you feel by the way
you take care of them" she said.
Two booklets prepared to help
students looking for apartments
By Lisa Brown
UNL students planning to rent an apartment
or house may want to read two booklets, one
prepared by the UNL Housing Office and the
other by the Student - Legal Services Center,
about common problems students encounter and
possible solutions.
The Student Legal Services bulletin, to be
released next week, includes a copy of a new
Nebraska law, the Residential Landlord and
Tenant Act, and tips on leasing an apartment or
house. Dave Rasmussen, Student Legal Services
attorney, compiled the 1 3-pagc booklet.
Rasmussen said the new law, which applies to
al! leases entered into after July 1, 1975, defines
many rights and responsibilities of landlords and
ieiliUli, lists UdU.SCS t!ist oiiGu'ufi't be hi a 'CaJC
and provides peanlties for certain landlord-tenant
problems.
Up to now few Nebraska laws addressed these
problems, he said, and the courts usually made
the decisions in individual cases.
General information
Rasmussen said the booklet will provide
general information to students who plan to rent
or who are renting now, and is not meant to
serve as legal advice. Students should still seek
legal advice from the center if they have any
problems, he said.
The Student Legal Services Center handles
about 30 to 40 cases a month involving renting
property. During April they had more than 40,
he said.
To avoid personal problems and legal
difficulties, Rasmussen suggested that students
not rush into signing a lease, but should examine
the apartment, and talk with neighbors and
previous tenants to see what problems they may
have had.
Students should shop around for an
apartment and when they find one, "they can
bring the lease into the Student Legal Services
Center for us to read and see that he or H
daily nebraskan ;.
getting what he's bargaining for," Rasmussen
said.
The tips for renting apartments and houses
prepared by the Student Legal Services Center,
facts about food budgeting, the average costs of
Lincoln apartments and hidden costs in renting
arc included in a four-page housing booklet
compiled by Marie Hansen, coordinator for
residence hall programs. The booklet should be
released next week.
Hidden costs '
Information concerning the average cost of
Lincoln apartments and hidden costs in renting
was compiled by' a housing task force earlier this
year. It listed costs such as garbage removal, bed
linen, ucaiiiiig supplies, ironing beard and
electrical appliances that students might have to
purchase for apartment living.
The report lists the average costs of
apartments, as randomly sampled on Feb. 23,
1975, as: two or more bedrooms, furnished,
$165; two or more bedrooms, unfurnished,
$175; a one bedroom (the majority of those
sampled were furnished), $130, and a one-room
efficiency, $100.
Most unfurnished apartments in the report
were larger with more bedrooms, which accounts
for them appearing more expensive than
furnished apartments.
Hansen said the booklets will be distributed
next week by residence hall student assistants to
students moving out of the halls, and are
available to anyone at the housing office.
Another service to students moving out of the
ha!!? is a list of off-campus housing, she said
although none has been checked out by housing,
The Student Legal Services bulletin will be
available at their office in the Nebraska Union,
Rm 334, next week. The bulletin will be
available on a first -come-first-serve basis until
more copies can be printed during the summer,
he said. '
