Lincoln citizen David Hunter pres
ented a bid totaling more than $1 mil
lion to the Lincoln Board of Education
Tuesday for the purchase of the Whitt
icr Junior High building at 22nd and
.Vine ctreets, ' ..
Until this bid was made, the only
ether proposal was a 1500,000 offer
made by the NU Foundation.
Before the second bid was received, :
Rcger Clough, superintendent cf the
Lincoln Public Schools, had told the
Daily Nebraskan he expected the
board to accept the foundation's
' proposal at its Sept. 27 meeting. ,
Hunter, who represents a croup cf
investors and developers, said his
fiop's proposal b more beneficial to
the area surrounding the school than
the university's cfler. The project
would place condominiums,
around the building. This would

Tim Francis, I.I alone Neighborhood
Association representative, supported
Hunter's proposal, and said the eco
nomic impact of the new businesses
and the new housing would serve as a
fine example to other developers and
show "that something creative and
inovative can be done in the Malone
neighborhood." Francis said that Hun
ter's offer would have a greater long
ranfe benefit for the area than would.
"another underutilized piece of uni
versity property."
V When asked Tuesday afternoon
. about Hunter's offer and Francis' com
ments, Ray Coffey, UNL business man
ager of the business and finance office,
said he was not sure whether either
Hunter or Francis has access to infor
mation about the utilization of univer
sity property. He also said Hunter's bid
-seemed to have some unusual
elements in calculating the final price.
"It requires some analysis to deter
mine exactly how that offer compares
with the NU Foundation's bid," he said.

' Males averaged 0.5 below their usual

to the study., . -
Two main theories explain this dif
ference, but IlcConnell said he doesnt
prefer one to the other. The first is that
"women handle analytical material less
well than males do," he said Second, ;
"women may do better when they have ;
a chance to talk through or argue
through many points.

smaller classes in their major field of
study.
Otherwise, they are more likely to
feel short-changed on classes that are
probably more important to them.
Sosin and McConnell tell departments
to use their best instructors to teach
"If students perceived these instruc
tors as being good instructors, then
their attitude toward the course was
more faYcrable," IlcConnell said. -
"Grades in large classes were, on the
average, lower than the grade-point
average cf the students," he said.
: lleGcnnell contributed this result to '"'
two factors.
First, "in a large class, you must
grade by stricter standards, you grade'
more mechanically," LlcConnsU said. '
