Landscape changes for
UN-L new buildings
Leaping over ditches,
sidestepping fences and newly
planted trees and stumbling
over fragments of old
sidewalks, UN-L students
carefully select paths to classes.
Campus construction and
landscaping is in full swing,
according to Dave Biskup,
UN-L grounds nursery and
landscape supervisor.
Between Jan. 1 and July 1,
Biskup said, the campus
grounds crew planted $2,000
worth of trees on city campus.
Ground cover plants costing
$1,500 and $400 in flowers
have also been planted this
spring, he said.
Biskup, grounds supervisor
since 1968, said two major
landscaping projects are
Mueller Mafl-the area between ,
Andrews and Burnett
Halls and Love Library.
Additional trees are being
planted and an underground
sprinkler system is being
installed in the Love Library
area.
Jay Thody, assistant
director and design specialist at
UN-L, said grounds crew will
have a "difficult time keeping
up with current building and
construction changes."
Thody said crews are still
trying to "catch up" from a
. 10-year period, where no
landscaping was planned during
UN-L construction.
"Current staff count is
between 30 and 40," Thody
said, and "all but a few of
these are students." He said
approximately 20 more
part-time students have bpen
added this summer.
The attempt of the grounds
department in the last few
years has been to upgrade the
campus by planting trees and
shrubs and "improve the
landscape as much as possible,"
Thody said.
Another area of landscape
improvement, Thody said, is
the planting of two large
evergreens in the parking lot
west of the Student Union.
"The main purpose of
planting these trees," said
Thody, "was to eliminate the
traffic problem in the lot." He
said the location of the trees
made it necessary for cars to
park in proper stalls.
"We (grounds department)
know we have a lot of
improvements to make", but we
feel like we've accomplished a
lot." he said.
RHA plan changes
(Continued from pg. 2)
last year didn't realize they
were signing for no visitation
when they filled out their
housing contracts, she said.
Both of these difficulties have
to be studied, she said.
Refrigerators,
communication and the RHA
Constitution are other
changing areas.
Money from renting
refrigerators to students is the
only income RHA makes, said
Buchman. This year the
association hopes to increase
its income by renting 200
additional refrigerators. 700
will then be rented to
dormitory students, she said,
and any extras will be rented
to fraternity and sorority
students.
Constitutional changes may
occur this fall, she said.
Specifically, there is an idea to
change a quorum from
two-thirds of the Council to
whoever attends the meetings,
she said.
This way council members
will have to show up or lose
their vote on an issue, she said.
In the past voting could be
stopped by lack of a quorum,
said Buchman.
It also has been suggested
that the few appointed RHA
positions be changed to elected
posts.
