thursday, September 1 1, 1975 daily nebrsskan .page 5 parKing on game qaysiQ en By George MI3er Comhusker football fans who prefer parking in any available space on game days, can expect to have their car towed away this season, John Duve, university parking coordinator, announced. Duve said that any vehicle blocking traf fic or parked on lawns, sidewalks or curbs will be towed. Towed cars will be taken to the uni versity holding lot, 1 100 N. 17th St. A tpw ing fee ranging from $10-515 must be paid, by owners in order to retrieve their car. In addition, Lincoln Police also will tow cars to the 17th St. lot, according to In spector Dean Leitner of the Lincoln Police Uniform Division, which is in charge of traffic control. ' Property damage Leitner also said that persons renting parking spaces on grassy areas between streets and. sidewalks will be arrested. He said that thousands ' of dollars in property damage is dorva by cars parked on these areas which is Lincoln city property. Fraternities along 16th St. are the worst offenders, Leitner said. He warned that vio lators will be ticketed or even taken to police headquarters. There is no reason for taxpayers to have to pay for property damage for this kind of parking, Leitner said. "We can move trxiilc t lot faster, more safely and with less accidents if people would parkin parking lots." Duve said the university traffic regula tions have always included the towing pro vision, but because of the number of cars around campus on game days, a tendency not to enforce the rule prevailed. However, many unoccupied spaces in lots on campus and the State Fairgrounds easily could accomodate the illegally parked cars, Duve said. 6,000 spaces at Fairgrounds . 'Tve never seen the fairgrounds half full during games," Duve said.' "There are about 6,000 spaces out there." Duve said he counted 250 cars parked il legally during last season's Oklahoma State game which could easily have been parked in campus lots, he said. In the past, Campus Police were used for duties such as preventing gate crashing and providing emergency service. Now, with gate crashing instances decreasing, more personnel can be used to guard against parking violations. All campus security personnel will concentrate on citing illegal ly parked cars on game days, Duve said. The decision to enforce the parking reg ulations was made last year, he said. No tices of the parking crack-down were sent to each ticket-holder and flyers suggesting legal parking places were placed on illegally parked cars. There were three main reasons for the crackdown, according to Duve. One, is that illegally parked cars interfere with emergency ambulance and fire services. Cars plugged in '"There are approximately 75,000 80,000 people in thY stadium on game days,"; Duve said. "Emergency personnel must often be dispatched to, emergencies like heart attacks, personal injuries and fires during the game. We can't respond when there are cars plugged in everywhere." Another reason is property damage to lawns, shrubs, steam tunnels and sidewalks. Every year the Grounds Dept. must repair damage caused by parked cars. "It's too bad the Grounds Dept. cannot generate their efforts to new areas instead " of repairing old areas," Duve said. The third reason was one of equity. Equal treatment "A student on campus could not expect to park during the week like some visitors park on game day," he said. "The problem has accumulated so that people expect to be able to park on lawns. We feel that an individual parking illegally should be treat ed equally during the week as he is during the weekend," he said. m mm HaMMMHMKHHW iww .. wMPM . ,, ..

Duve said all Area 2 lots are open during weekends. He recommended parking at the National Guard Armory or State Fair grounds. The Athletic Dept. sponsors a bus service from the fairgrounds and armory to the stadium. Parking spaces are also available at the lots near 2 1st and Vine streets, lots on 17th St. near Holdrege, and lots between 14th and 16th streets near W and Avery streets, and. 16th and 17th streets near Nebraska Hall. Program adds professional training r i 1 PfetsJ fey Kvta Hifiivy Dr. L. Kirk Benedict, associate dean of the College of Pharmacy . f harmacy students to earn doctorate Starting next fall, students in the Col lege of Pharmacy will have a new home and earn a new degree. . , Students in pharmacy will receive a doc tor of pharmacy degree instead of the bachelor of science in pharmacy they now receive. Those who enter the college before next fall still will receive the bachelor's degree, i The college under the budget and ad ministration processes of the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC), will move to a new building in Omaha that should be completed by September, ac cording to L. Kirk Benedict, associate dean of the College of Pharmacy. The degree change, which was approved by the NU Board of Regents at its Satur day meeting, comes three years after a fac ulty ad hoc committee was formed to study its possibility. Professional degree The degree is a professional degree, not a research degree, Benedict said. UNL is the third school to switch to this program, he said. Fifteen other schools offer supplemental post-graduate work to their graduates. The majority of UNL's pharmacy graduates have gone to the Uni versity of Tennessee for their graduate work, he said. The program change will require a bud get increase of $200,000 over the next three years, he said. No extra equipment There is no great need for additional equipment to develop the program, he said. However, there is a need for faculty mem bers who can serve as "role models." Benedict said a pharmacist should be someone who "does more than dispense pills." The pharmacist should be a profes sional who is able to confer with the patient and the doctor in determining individual medical needs, he said. . The program should serve to fulfill two goals, Benedict said. The first, he said, is to give the pharmacy student professional training. The second is to have the student assume responsibility for patient care instead of being just an observer. v dolls? 1916 Etctla Cmm'I f wmftm, YOU CAN LEAD AN ARTIST TO ARTW03LD, BUT YOU CANT MAKE HIM LEAVE.
