about $2,400 in reference books to UNL
mechanical engineering students.
The books are used by the department
for reference and as supplemental texts,
said James Harper, a professor of mecn
anical engineering at UNL.
The Babcock Wilcox Co., a steam
boiler design and manufacturing firm,
gave each student enrolled in the UNL
department's 300-level thermodynamics
class, Thermodynamics 11, a copy of
"Steam - Its Generation and Use.' Har
per said the books were delivered Sept. 9
The thermodynamics class is a required
course for most mechanical engineering
majors, Harper said, so about 90 percent
of the students who graduate from the
department must get one of the books,
he said.
Harper said the company has made
the books available for the last six or
seven years.
"Babcock Wilcox, as an engineering
company, likes to keep its name before
engineering students," Harper said.
Alexander Peters, chairman of the
mechanical engineering department, said
one shipment of the books is received
each semester. This semester the depart
ment received about 60 books, he said.
"I'm not aware of any other depart
ment (at UNL) which receives a book
like this on a gratis basis," Peters said.

'
Weather dampens
vendors' business
By David Creamer
With the dismal weather that Lincoln has had so
much of this year, business has not been good for the
city's sidewalk vendors.
Lincoln presently has two registered sidewalk vendors.
John Butler and Jeff Ferber.
Ferber said that because of the weather he is closing
his stand for the season.
Butler on the other hand, plans to remain open as long
as the weather permits, tie said that the weather has been
especially uncooperative this year in that between May
and September, his stand was closed more days than it
was open.
Butler said that because of the ever-changing weather
of Lincoln, the selling season is limited and the vendor
must have a variety of foods to suit the public's changing
wants.
Butler said that from the engineering standpoint, an
adequate cart that allows for a diverse line of goods is
very expensive.
This initial investment in a basically untested market
is possibly another reason for the small number of sidewalk
vendors in Lincoln, said Butler.
"I don't think that within the next five years there will
be more than five carts in Lincoln," Butler said, "although
I am optimistic about the future of the business."
The Lincoln City Council, in an attempt to regulate
sidewalk vendors, passed an ordinance requiring operators
to register for a permit.
On May 3, the Council revised the existing ordinance
to state that it shall be unlawful for any individual to act
as a vendor without having first obtained a permit for
each pushcart from the city in accordance with the pro
visions of the ordinance.
Since then only Butler and Ferber have obtained
permits.
Butler, who was the first to apply after the City
Council announced that the number of permits would be
limited to 10, said there are basically three reasons why
there are not more sidewalk vendors.
"The limited selling season, the initial capital invest
ment required, and the technical engineering of the
pushcart itself are all factors that discourage others from
becoming sidewalk vendors," he said.
