Hunter sad the beard crate for LPS ia ir.aidr.3 their recommendation. . . Hunter presented a letter responding to the staff . recommendation that the school board accept the -foundation's bid. The letter said investors would p"y interest at the rate of 10 percent on the 1201,000 that would be paid at the end of the five year pay r.ient schedule. Hunter said thb would receive the ' up-frcnt cash difference and place his cfTer $2,CC0 to $3,000 higher than the foundation's offer. In the letter, Hunter also said his group's proposal , is superior to the university's plan because more jebs would be created, a project would be provided ier,tho public rood and the noione neinoornood would benefit from the new housing and retail his project would introduce. : ; - In a Sept. 14 Daily Nebraskan article, UNL Chan cellor Martin Maeecrale said the property would be . used far a number of purposes including a food classrooms and relocation of the general uteres from the West Stadium. Much of the open land around the building could be kept open for recrea tional use. The foundation also agreed not to reno vate the outside of the building in order to preserve its historical value. Dr. James Wickless, LPS board president said other offers were reasonable and it was just a mat ter of comparing the two. He said it was a little disturbing that Hunter would amend his offer at the "11th hour" but it "certainly narrowed the difTerer.ee betveen the two offers." As far as the cash differ ence, Wickless said, it was not significant enough to pick one proposal over another. "When you are dealing that close to the university, the university always has an interest in property," Hunter said, "and I think the school district felt that they had an obligation to entertain that interest if it was there." Vhittier school has been up for sale for six years, according to Clouh. ." v "f 4 " m 9 ' f i ' & ifc.. $ v tiysics m - f dy - f The Physics Learning Center at Eraee Laboratory 120 cfTicia'ly opened Tuesday at a ribbon-cutting Tcrerr.shy conducted by Earl Frebe, vice chance" t 11 - -. lec- "'-m-I.'lL";'"" '-l. ilTtrttst'i :.!' :ra!:edTc:r-:7cfl;err:r raljEr.
