Communication goal
Neighborlwod Week
By Donna Slsson
mm
Picnics and neighborhood projects are just a few
of the activities that will mark the first Neighbor
hood Week, June 9 to 16, to take place annually.
Jane McGinnis, the Lincoln Neighborhoods Inc.
chairperson for Neighborhood Week, said LINC, a
coordinating body for neighborhood groups, began
the week.
Neighborhood Week is sponsored by more than 13
neighborhoods together with Lincoln Neighborhoods
Incorporated and the city's Community Resource
Office.
The goal of the week is to foster communication
between business, government and neighborhoods,
McGinnis said. Last year, LINC activities mainly
focused on the city government. This year, the group
wants to support business as well, she said.
Jim Willet, community resource specialist for the
Lincoln Community Resource Office, said many
neighborhoods often see their vitality linked to the
vitality of downtown Lincoln.
Part of Neighborhood Week's purpose is to help
create a self-help fund that will complement city
funds and let neighborhoods make physical improve
ments and do other projects, Willet said.
The week also gives visibility to neighborhood
groups and lets people know what these groups can
do, Willet said. Neighborhood groups make physical
improvements on things like sidewalks and parks.
They also create a neighborhood network to repres
ent the citizens to the government, he said.
It is quite a statement that Lincoln neighbor
hoods have a unique level of cooperation while
neighborhoods in other cities are fighting, Willet
said. It also speaks well that neighborhood groups
realize the need for effective relations between bus
iness and government, he said.
One of the major events will be a series of half
hour slide shows presenting Nebraska life as it was
at the turn of the century. The shows were produced
by seven older neighborhoods with the help of a
grant from the Nebraska Committee for the Human
ities. The presentations will show at the new State
Historical Society Museum on June 9 beginning at
12:30 p.m.
The finale for the week is a neighborhood picnic
celebration on June 16 at Antelope Park. The event
will begin at 5:30 p.m. with music by guitarists and
fiddlers from the Old Time Fiddlers Association.
Historians John Schneider and Jim McKee will
speak about neighborhood backgrounds and later,
ice cream and soda will be served. '
State tourism rising;
Tourism Week begins
By Mark Davis
More than 90,000 people have asked for Nebraska
travel packets this year, the deputy director of
research at the Department of Economic Develop
ment said.
Tom Doering said the DED anticipates a 5 percent
increase in Nebraska tourism this summer in
conjunction with the start of National Tourism
Week Sunday.
Several factors regulate how many people from
other states visit Nebraska each summer, Doering
said. One is the weather.
The weather has to be better than last summer's
flooding and droughts," he said.
Ak-Sar-Ben's out-of-state tourist business, the
largest in Nebraska, also depends on good weather,
Doering said.
Finances also determine out-of-state tourism, he
said. More people have secure jobs and more money,
he said. Both result in increased tourism through
out the state.
According to the DED and Lincoln's Tourist
Information Office on Ninth and O streets, most of
Nebraska's out-of-state tourists come from Illinois,
Iowa and Colorado. These and other out-of-state
tourists look for sights they can't see in their home
states. Many Coloradoans come to Nebraska to see
Lake Mc 'onaughy.
Besides the tourists from those top states, a high
percentage of Nebraska's out-of-state tourists come
from eastern states. These people come to see
Nebraska's Western attractions, Doering said.
Interstate 80 also plays an important role in
Nebraska's tourism business. According to a survey
by the Lincoln TIO, four out of five summer non
resident Nebraska tourists traveled some portion of
L80. Doering said the interstate attracts twice as
much traffic from transcontinental travelers than
1-80 does through the north or 1-70 through the
south.
The TIO, which directs tourists to Lincoln attrac
tions, served 165,000 visitors last year in Lincoln.
The office had an open house Sunday and will stay
open daily from 9 am. to 5 p.m. all summer.

Kidnap threats
made in Lebanon
BEIRUT, Lebanon Classes were suspended
and security troops set up a cordon Monday
around the American University of Beirut
after U.S. intelligence sources warned that
pro-Iranian militants are planning mass kid
nappings of Americans on and near the city's
campus, U.S. sources say they received reports
that 100 of the Iranians, with explosives wrap
ped round their bodies, planned to seize U.S.
academics at the university and diplomats at
the adjacent U.S. Embassy compound. The
university, in Moslem-controlled West Beirut,
has 4,000 students enrolled from Lebanon's
religious groups. Three American AUB profes
sors have been killed or kidnapped since 1982
and U.S. diplomatic and military installations
also have been hit by devastating attacks by
Moslem militants. A group known as Islamic
Jihad, which has claimed responsibility for
most of the attacks, has threatened to strike
until all Americans and Frenchmen leave Leb
anon. But the AUB and Embassy sources said
the reported mass kidnap plan was being
mounted by another group.
Neiv abortion metlwd
TOKYO Doctors at Tokyo University Hos
pital said Monday they had successfully deve
loped a new method of abortion which induces
miscarriage within 24 hours of administration.
But the vaginal suppository, Prostaglandin
made from a derivative of prostate gland hor
mones, has yet to receive full approval from
Japan's health ministry. Developed by Ono
Pharmaceutical, the suppository is half the
length of a matchstick and can terminate
pregnancies up to six months after concep
tion, Japan's legal limit for abortion, a doctor
at the hospital said. "It is a very promising
development as it is simpler and less risky than
other methods," he said. "After administration,
it melts spontaneously which means a patient
can go home, making abortion less traumatic."
Chances of infection or other adverse side
effects are negligible, "And much less than
when the conventional vacuum method is
used," he said. Doctors at the hospital said
known side-effects are headaches, vomiting
and diarrhea. The statistics information bureau
reported that 567,539 abortions were carried
out in Japan in 1983. A health ministry official
' declined to reveal the cost of the new supposi
tory but it is believed to be around $20, com
pared with around $500 for a conventional
abortion.
Veterans get tribute
WASHINGTON President Reagan Monday
paid tribute to the dead and missing veterans
of the Vietnam War in an elaborate state fun
eral service interring the war's unknown sold
ier beside those from three other conflicts, In a
brief speech, Reagan said Vietnam's govern
ment must account for those Americans still
missing in action. In an emotional and somber
ceremony, Reagan conferred on the service
man the country's highest military award
the congressional Medal of Honor. The casket
then was interred in a marble monument at
the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington Ceme
tery, carrying the inscription: "Here rests in
honored glory an American soldier known but
to God." But Reagan made clear the ceremony
would not close the book on an unpopular and
divisive war. UA united people call upon Hanoi
with one voice . . . return our sons to America"
U.S. involvement in Vietnam drew to a close in
1975 when Saigon was overrun by communists
from the north and south. -During American
participation in the conflict which the Pen
tagon says officially lasted from 1061 to 1973
58,012 servicemen lost their lives in one of
the heaviest war tolls in U.S. history. Another
2,489 are listed as stLU missing.
Landslide kills 100
PEKING At least 1 00 people were killed by
a landslide in Southwestern China that buried
buidings and parts of a mine were swept away

ported. The landslide, in Yunnan Province's
Dongchuan City, buried a supply and market
ing cooperative, a band and a post office.
Dozens of homes were flattened and snore
than 50 people were hospitalized, the radio

ing Review reported that at least 6,600 people
had died in 1983 in natural disasters, which
had destroyed important .power, mining and
factory installations.
