State parks' rules to be tighter
By Jerry Fairbanks
With the return of spring, many people return to out
door activities at Lincoln parks and state recreation areas.
Staying within the rules will keep these visits within the
realm of recreation
The rule requiring everyone entering a state park or
recreation area to buy a use permit will be enforced
more stringently this year, according to Ted Blume of the
State Game and Parks commission. Blume said the permits
will be required to enter a state area April 1 .
The statute has been on the books for the last three
years, but this year enforcement procedures will be more
active, he said, adding that anyone at a recreation area
without one will be given a citation.
Blume said the park stickers are available from any
place that sells fishing or hunting permits. The 2000
permit vendors will be selling the stickers for $5 for
year-round use and $1.50 for daily use to residents of
Nebraska. People from out of state must pay more.
Common sense
Swimmers at state recreation areas should remember
common sense safety, according to Blume. He said that
every year there are drownings when people leave the
beach areas. Since the lakes are over old farmland, there
are many channels and holes that are dangerous to
swimmers, he said.
Other drownings occur when boaters don't have the
required number of flotation devices. The number re
quired, along with other safety equipment required by
state law, are listed in brochures that can be obtained
free from any permit vendor.
Recreation area users often build fires outside of
fireplaces, according to Blume. This damages the ground
surface and creates a danger of fires getting out of control.
Blume said regulations are posted on signs at the entrances
to state areas. He said they are generally open 24 hours a
day, but the beach areas are closed from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.
The camping areas are closed from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. to
maintain peace and quiet for sleeping campers, he said.
Littering, driving
In the Lincoln parks, the major, problems seem to be
littering and people driving off the roads, according to
Herb Cords of the city parks and recreation department.
Cords said .many people break bottles on the roads,
which is hazardous to barefooted people. He said many
people are drinking alcoholic beverages in the parks,

For the same reason, reggae is captivating to listen to,
and a certain sameness in the music is overcome with an
over-all flow and unity that draws you into it.
The original Wailers was a powerhouse group which in
cluded both Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer (Livingston),
strong reggae artists on their own now. The first album
they released together in the States, Catch a Fire is a
brilliant and more varied album than most. It contains a
superior version of the Johnny ("I Can See Clearly Now")
Nash hit, "Stir It Up," adding a good deal of understand
ing with gentle harmonies and sy thesizer fills.
Livingston and Tosh left after this LP, but Marley has
maintained the group's quality. He is not as strong a singer
as the other two-he has a thin and reedy voice, that just
may be the hardest thing in the music to get used to. Still,
Marley is an exceptional guitarist, and he has managed to
produce albums that rival Catch a Fire. Burnin'is certain
ly a contender, as is the fine Natty Dread LP. The latter
contains the best Wailers ballad, "No Woman No Cry."
Other recognizable Wailers tunes include "I Shot the
Sheriff" and "Get Up Stand Up." All other versions pale
beside these.
The Wailers' Live LP is probably the best for reggae af
ficianados, but be warned that the sound and vocal
quality is a little rougher, and lacks the continuity of the
studio efforts.
which is illegal.
Cords said many people don't obey the speed limits.
He said a car recently hit a horse in Pioneer Park. He said
he is worried about people, especially children, getting
hit.
Last year swimming was forbidden at Mahoney Park
Lake, Cords said. He- said the water was so cloudy
swimmers couldn't be seen six inches below the surface.
Also, the lake drains from an area of 36 square miles, an
area that includes feedlots and farm fields, which creates
doubts about its cleanliness.
Cords said that the beach was still open for sunbathers,
but no lifeguards would be posted on the beach. "Anyone
swimming in Mahoney Lake is prejty much on their
own," he said.
AAUP, Regents
start negotiations
Contract talks to establish collective bargaining guide
lines began last Thursday night between the American
Association of University Professors, representing the
UNO faculty, and representatives of the NU Board of
Regents.
Bernard Kolasa, AAUP president and associate pro
fessor of English at UNO, said the Thursday meeting was
primarily to take care of "housekeeping and rules of pro
cedure." "We haven't put a contract on the table yet," Kolasa
said. He said a variety of issues will be raised in the talks,
but that he would prefer they remain confidential for
now.
Before the talks began, the AAUP sent a letter to UNO
Chancellor Del Weber asking him to stop evaluating
faculty members, on the merit pay plan. None of the
negotiators questioned by the Daily Nebraskan will dis
cuss the role of the merit pay plan in the talks.
Charles Hein, UNO's director of university relations,
said UNO, "will not unilaterally abandon the merit plan"
unless it is resolved in the contract talks. Currently, the
plan is still in operation, he said .
Lincoln attorney Bruce Wright, chief negotiator for the
regents, said the next contract meeting is scheduled for
Thursday and that the talks will last over a "substantial
period of time."
"I think it's important for the negotiations to remain
conftdfntial" he said. "All I can tell you is that we're pro
ceeding in good faith with the faculty in these discus
sions." J v
The talks were planned to set collective bargaining
guidelines for faculty contracts for the fiscal year be
ginning July 1 .
Regents' representatives include Elaine Hess, associate
vice chancellor at UNO; James Maynard, UNO director of
institutional research; NU Assistant Vice President Eugene
Trani; and Wright.
AAUP is represented by faculty members Jack Brilhart,
Suzanne Moshier, Justin Stolen, Dan Sullivan and Kolasa.
