Daniel Gricpcntrcg, owner of Lan
caster House Printing and Publishing,
and Aardvark Copies, 1200 Q St., said
the proposed performing arts center
was no shock to him. When he signed
the lease for the university-owned buil
ding in September 1082, he said the
university told him the land could be
used for expansion.
Griepentrog said the basic lease ends .
next August, and he was told he could
get an extension on the lease only if the
university did not expand.
Griepentroit said his only Droblem
would be finding a space close to
campus. .
Ted Weber and Dean Kirschcnman,
co-owners of Ted and Welly's Ice Cream,
1200 Q St., have yet to open their store
for business but plan to operate as
usual until their lease runs out in 1085.
Weber and Kirschenman said it took
$60,000 personal investment and four
months work to build the shop from a
garage they sublet from Griepentrog.
Tve decided not to let it (the pro
posed center) affect us," Kirschenman
said. "Once we're established, I think
we can move anywhere."
Roger Leising, owner of Taco Inn,
1245 R St., said, "there isn't a compar
able location anywhere to relocate." He
said Coffey assured him UNL would be
fair to the businesses having to move.
Leising said he supported the per
forming arts center because of the jobs
generated and the assets the city would
receive from the center.
Norm Dirks, owner of Bloom Typew
riter, 323 N. 13th St., since 1970, said
he could see some advantages to relo
cating his business. Although he said
he would prefer not to move, another
location could have more parking than
his present location. With an estimate
CO percent of his business coming from
students, Dirks, said, a location farther
from the campus might inconvenience
his customers.
EndovTisieiito enhance 1ML
By John Meissncr
Although the NU Foundation is in
dependent of the university, it works
solely for the university's improve
ment, the group's executive vice presi
dent said.
Ed Mirsch' said one of the latest
foundation-aided projects is the per
forming arts center, which, he said,
will enhance the UNL campus.
Broyhill Fountain, the Nebraska Cen
ter for Continuing Education, Ralph
Mueller Planetarium, Sheldon Memor
ial Art Gallery, the Mueller Tower and
the Wick Alumni Center are examples
of structures built through gifts and
funds secured by the organization,
Hirsch said.
Landscaping around Love Library,
National Merit Scholarships, new band
uniforms and the Christlieb Art Col
lection show the wide range ofbenefits
provided through the non-profit group,
he said.
The organization serves as the med
iator between the gift-giver and the
university, telling the giver what the
university needs, or, in the alternate
case, telling the university how the
giver wants the money administered,
he said.
"Certainly, people donate for tax
reasons, but there has to be some mot
ivation," Hirsch said. "Mr. Ernst Lied,
who gave the grant for the performing
arts center, specified he wanted some
thing all the citizens ofNebraska could
enjoy."
Hirsch said Lied's $10 million grant
is the largest in the foundation's his
tory. The Christlieb's Western Art Col
lection was valued at $2.5 million at
the time of its donation. The $3 million
given by the Sheldons financed the art
gallery, a structure that would cost
$15 millon to build today, Hirsch said.
Many of the programs are self-supporting
because of additional endow
ments provided by the benefactor,
Hirsch said.
