"The landscaping is an ongoing thing with the new building construction on both campuses," Thody said. On East Campus, landscaping around several buildings be gan this year. Only the Barkley Center project was com pleted and the landscaping for the new East Union is just beginning, Thody said. On City Campus, Thody said there has been a revamp ing of Enright Garden, the area around Mueller Tower. He said his department replanted material and changed grading for improved drainage. Grading in spots directly over steam tunnels has been necessary to improve the conditions for plant growth. The heat from steam in some places prohibited growth, Thody said. A flag memorial was begun this spring between the Nebraska Union and Administration Building. Sd far, the landscape has been redone and Thody said this fall or winter, a set of flags and poles will be placed at that end of the mall, including the U.S., Nebraska and university flags. ' Like many1 projects, this one is funded by private con tributions to the NU Foundation for the memorial, he said. Special funds are appropriated through the Depart ment of Business and Finance, Thody said, The grounds dept. also receives money for its opera tions. The- number of employees in the department ranges from 40 in winter to more than 60 during the summer, Thody said. Thody also is in charge of project design. He said land scape designs come from the department, but a consult ing firm in Houston does comprehensive planning and a few special projects. In the future, Thody said the area in front of the Coli seum and Memorial Stadium may, be made into a memorial park with benches similar to those near the Nebraska Union. His department is trying to promote the project through the NU Foundation. He said since the use of the Coliseum has decreased after the Sports Complex construction the concrete area in front of the Coliseum may be torn up and replanted. 4 k . -'f V 1 CI y or m Lift JElii-V' k -r 1 w t ; t4V v- n VI ft .: f-" f- " MLB; S0: draus sl.(0 pitchors 8G! hi-balls p Starfmo schoolyear smartly in 4ii sw- vmtmSf ma-i' Let the real you shine through with the natural look of contacts.
