Fyuka landmarkfence
VI s
Motorists have driven by the
fence bordering Wyuka Cemetery
hundreds of times without notic
ing it. But the 92-year-old iron
fence has a story rich in history.
The fence, built by the John
Seatcn Co. of Atchison, Kan., orig
inally surrounded the UNL cam
pus to keep cattle from grazing
on university grounds. It kept
cattle out, but it also kept out
firemen.
As Jim McKee, owner of J & L
Lee Booksellers, wrote in a 1033
article in Around Town Maga
zine, a fire broke out in 1012 at
the state museum on the univer
sity campus. The firemen arrived
in time only to be greeted by the
8-foot fence. The fence won and
the state museum virtually was
destroyed by fire. UNL Chancel
lor Ssinusl Avery then recont
mended that the fence ba moved
to Wyuka Cemetary, 36th and 0
streets. For 72 years the fence
has been a landmark for Lincoln
residents.
Now the 18th century land
mark will have a facelift a new
silver finish. The restoration pro
ject will take about 20 gallons of
paint, said Ralph Gieb-elh&us, gen
eral manager cf Wyuka Cemetery.
"We're using car-wssh mit3 to
paint it," Giebelhaus said.
National and international news
from the Reuter News Report
U.B. facials will attend
negotiatioiio in Vienna
WASHINGTON The White House said Monday it would
send a team of negotiators to Vienna next month for U.S.
Soviet talks on space weapons despite Moscow's assertion that
the United States had made such talks impossible. "The United
States will be represented in Vienna" on Sept. 18, spokesman
Larry Speakes said.
U.S. officials had previously said the United States would not
engage in symbolic "negotiations" with an empty chair if Soviet
negotiators failed to turn up. Moscow offered on June 29 to
hold the talks in Vienna aimed at banning weapons in space.
President Reagan quicky accepted but said the U.S. team also
would raise the issue of nuclear arms control talks that Mos
cow broke off late last year. The Soviet Union has said it would
not attend talks in Vienna unless they are limited to space
weapons and the United States agrees to a freeze on testing or
deploying such weapons while the negotiations are under way.
The administration in turn has rejected Moscow's demand for
a moratorium. Speakes said Monday the White House had not
heard anything new from Moscow recently but "we are pro
ceeding with planning as if it (the Vienna meeting) is going to
take place."
Afghan rebel groups join forces
PESHAWAR, Pakistan Two Afghan rebel leaders said
Monday they had decided to bury past differences and unify
their fight against the Kabul government and the estimated
105,000 Soviet troops backing it. The two leaders, Gulbuddin
Hekmatyar of Hezb-i-lslami and Professor Burhanuddin Rab
bani ofJamiat-i-Islami, addressed the joining news conference.
Hexbi and Jamiat forces frequently have clashed inside Afgh
anistan in struggles for local influence. However, sources here
said the force of a Soviet offensive this spring and summer had
driven the two parties toward closer cooperation. Both rebel
leaders said Soviet forces had resorted to far more aggressive
tactics this year, bombing villages and burning so many crops
that serious food shortages had arisen. In a statement to their
parties, the two men called on their followers to join forces
against Soviet troops and urged other groups to do the same.
They said they would set up a tribunal to arbitrate disputes.
Discovery prepares for third try
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. The space shuttle Discovery, the
third inthe U.S. fleet, makes a third attempt on Wednesday to
blast off on its maiden voyage. Launch efforts on successive
days in June were halted by technical problems a computer
failure nine minutes from launch and a main engine shutdown
just four seconds before lift-off. The delay caused by an investi
gation of the engine problem has forced the space Egency to
"combine" elements of Discovery's first two missions into this
flight in an attempt to keep up with its published launch
schedule. In addition to a Navy communications satellite it was
to deploy in June, Discovery also will be delivering two more
satellites belonging to private companies American Tele
phone and Telegraph and Satellite Business Systems.
Discovery's first flight is expanding another aspect of the
shuttle's commercial potential It will carry a "paying custo
mer," an engineer who will operate his firm's prototype
machine for processing biological materials in space. The
machine, made by the McDonnell Douglas Co., will produce
secret substances which a Johnson and Johnson Co., pharma
ceutical subsidiary hopes to market as medicine. Called a con
tinuous flow electrophoresis system (CFES), the device can
produce some substances with far greater purity and in much
greater quantities than can be done on earth.

eral parts of Dhaka pelted each other with stones, injuring

government of President Hossain Mohammad Ersliad. Addres
sing separate rallies after the strike Monday, the leaders of the
country's two main opposition alliances said Ershad had killed

mentary elections will be held Dec. 8 and has accused the

tion wants an end to martial law and seeks appointment of a
