The sidewalks on the southeast corner of Love Library lawn have been torn up, ditches dug and work is being done to im prove drainage of rain water, said Tom Ny cum, assistant director of the physical plant. The estimated cost is $9,400. Harley Schrader, physical plant director, said that last fall, water began to leak into a steam tunnel that serves the Nebraska Union, the Administration building and the State Capitol. Schrader said a storm sewer is being installed to divert drainage water and correct the problem. Schrader explained that the storm sewer will run into a curb inlet as it carries water underground. "We didn't know this 'was a problem area until the steam tunnel began to leak," Schrader said, adding that new grass plant ed in the area last year may have cause ad ditional standing water. "We know this has been a problem area for several years. We're just getting to it," Nycum said. "We are constantly trying to update our drainage system," Nycum said. Work will be complete by the end of May, if weather permits, he added. "The only alternative to this work was to waterproof the entire steam tunnel," Schrader said. n ii ' E3r n"-,';rt r- rrr rr f If .' r w IE 0 i V 1 111:;; 'U i a r r ft Mr I) -f 1. , i i i L -Mi 'Tl ' v-- ."'?

Promises of change grow out of retreat Washington - Some major changes in the way the Carter administration conducts business are promised as a result of an un usual weekend retreat held by President Carter, the Cabinet and senior advisers. After he returned to the White House Monday afternoon from Camp David, Md., site of the gathering of top administration brass, Carter was asked if changes could be expected. "We will do things better," he replied. The president told reporters the con- associated press I datelines J ferees measured the administration's per formance in its first 15 months and "an alyzed some problems and some failures that have been widely publicized." 0H,HE'5 OOT mHtftlMr SOME RtfEKWCES FOR HS RESUME, o AM I'U MAKE IT TWO OWM bMS Neither Carter nor White House press secretary Jody Powell would detail which difficulties were discussed. "You don't particularly care to discuss all your prob lems in public," Powell said. Incomes to increase Washington - The combined personal income of all Americans rose 1 .2 percent in March, the biggest increase in three months, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. An increase in personal income is a good sign for business activity because it means more money is available to spend on retail goods and investments. That, in turn, can lead to more jobs. Most of the increase was in wages and salaries, which reflected a re covery from effects of the severe winter, the department said. The gain in March followed a 1.3 per cent increase in December and increases of only 0.2 percent in January and 0.5 per cent in February. stuff The Greek Week blood drive ends today in the Ne braska Union Ballroom.
