Bank donates to scholars program
The board of directors of Lincoln! National Bank of
Commerce has pledged $125,000 to the NU Foundation
to fund a visiting scholars and executives program within
the Center of Study of the American Business System.
The pledge was given as a contribution to the Founda
tion's "Commitment to Excellence" program, a three-year
campaign to raise $35 million in pledges and gifts to pro
vide excellence in education.
The National Bank of Commerce is participating by
providing university students with greater understanding
of the American business system, according to NBC Presi
dent James F. Nissen.
NBC pledged $500 for every $1 million raised in dona
tions by the NU Foundation over a ten-year period,
according to NU Foundation Vice President Edward
Hirsch.
"NBC's quota was $125,000, which they met and
pledged to us," Hirsch said.
Under this program, distinguished business executives
and scholars from across the nation are invited by the
CtUege of Business Administration to share their expert,
ences with UNL students. .
Gary Schwendiman, dean of the college, said he is con
sidcring inviting several distinguished executives and
scholars to participate in the program, but has not made
formal invitations yet.
-We will, as the year progresses, have some very good
executives here to speak he said. "We have had programs
like this in the past, with each executive making a two
day visit."
Schwendiman said NBC's pledge was "a magnificent
gift . . . very generous."
Dave Whittman, who is in charge of the visiting execu
tives and scholars program, said the program is beneficial
both to business students and to the visitors.
"The students need to be exposed to the outside world
and learn from the personal experiences of people in
business," he said. 'The executives also leam what's on
our mind, and may even incorporate some of our ideas in
a later process or policy."

8 Police report
game traffic
no problem
By Betsy Mfller
Efforts to control traffic
flow for the Nebraska-Utah
game on Saturday were suc
cessful according to repre
sentatives of the State
Patrol, Lincoln and UNL
Police.
"I never observed an
evener flow of traffic or a
safer situation than we had
Saturday," said Lincoln
Assistant Police Chief John
Miller.
Miller made his remarks
during a Wednesday morn
ing press conference held at
the Lincoln Police Depart
ment. Fan cooperation with
police helped minimize
traffic jams, Miller said.
Me also said that a new
shuttle system bringing in
fans who parked near
Holmes Lake helped mini
mize traffic problems.
Lincoln City Traffic En
gineer George Silva said that
the West O Street exit off
Interstate 80 will be open
on Saturday.
Silva said O Street traffic
will be monitored and if it
gets too heavy, the exit will
be closed.
State Patrol Lieutenant
RJ. Liekhus said that the
only problem motorists on
the Interstate encountered
was near the Platte River
Bridge in the east-bound
lane.
He said traffic slowdown
happened because the inter
state narrows to one lane
traffic at that point.
Next week, more signs
telling about the interstate';
lane reduction will be
posted before the Green
wood Interchange so motor
ists get plenty of advance
warning, Liekhus said.
The warnings may en
courage drivers to take
alternate routes east before
they arrive at the bridge, he
said.
To help reduce football
traffic this Saturday, Mfller
said a tape showing lowans
the best routes to Lincoln is
being shown on radio and
television networks there.
UNL Police Captain
Kenneth Markle also said
that Lincoln drivers should
use the 27th Street gate
through the state fair
grounds and go to the sta
dium that way.
Markle said the fair
grounds were open but the
route was used lightly last
week.
