a winter stcna.
Raaaaaaea said the departateat tries to keep trees azd
shrubs watered for as long as possible ia the fall.
The department fertilises lawns aad shats eff the lawn
sprinkling systems before winter, he sail.
.The main concern of many UNL students, faculty aad .
administrators access to the caaipas after a saow storm
is handled by a fleet of eqaipaieat.
Rasmassen said the department uses two damp trucks,
six to eight saucer trucks with plows, eht to tea tractors
and three or four small saow Mowers to dear the caaipas
of snow. ".,. .- -l-
In addition, he said, the department has two graders
that can be used to clear a path into the caaipas if city
streets around the campus are Mocked.
"But I don't want to complain about the city,"
Rasmussen said. 'They do a super job and have a lot of
area to cover.
Rasmussen said the department also uses two large aad
four smaller front-end loaders to dear parking lots.
Snow removal can start as early as 2:30 am. before a
school day, Rasmussen said. But he said with this year's
pinched budget, his men will not be working overtime and
some of the corners (of the parking lots) nasJit have to
wait."

employes, 15 student employes and five temporary
employes.

, Several East Campus coding towers also are drained
aad deaaed ia the winer, Schrader said.
The university 'gets' gas' on aa interruptahle service
basis, Schrader said. Interruptahle service means the uni
versity can barn gas as long as the gas companies primary,
customers have cacaji to bum. '
VJhea the weather tarns odder aad gas demand
becomes greater; the university is told to quit , using gas
aad mast switch to oil, Schrader said.
"Of coarse, we'd like to burn gas because it's cheaper
than oil by about one third," he said.
Aa exceptionally edd winter can cost the university
about $1 raiHioa ia heating costs, Schrader said.
During a very edd winter, we can end up having to
buy over fear mHioa picas of heating oil" he said.
The EioyhiS aad Shddon fouataias are shut down and
drained before winter, he said. Although the EroyhSI
fountain north of the Nebraska Union has a built-in heat
exchanger and is designed to operate ia temperatures as
low as zero degrees, the exchanger has not been used for
several years.
Schrader said he likes to keep the fountains going as
long as he can.
