Koyce Ballingcr, director of the NU School of Biological Sciences, welcomed the guests including Mrs. Hall, UNL Chancellor Martin Massengalc, NU Regent Ed Schwartzkopf, Ernest Rousek of the Audubon Society, Jack Thomp son, chairman of the NU Board of Trustees and Marvin Kivett, dir ector of the State Historical Society. Ballinger told the crowd the Prairie land is significant in tree ways. "It will serve as a labc atory for research and testing, it repres ents and recognises the. impor tance of our daily lives and our nationa' heritage and is a tri umph of those who cared about our prairies " he said. Masse ngale said the prairie land reminded him of the writings of Willa Cather and Mari Sandoz "who captured the wonders of. the prairie land." On the edge of the Nine-Mile Prairie is another marker con taining the words of former NU agronomy professor John Weav er, who studied the land in the 1 920s: "Prairie is much more than land covered by grass. It is a slowly evolved, highly complex, organic entity, centuries old. Once destroyed, it can never be replaced by man. n I . v 1 I ' ; V i' - .( ft J V-, f V 'AM' I -'A Can Du!anyD;!' tUhrzzk&n Marguerite Hall We iKibit rexiects Drain 1.

The official, Stanislav Menshikov, a Communist Party Adviser, said in a television interview from Moscow that the fishing supply boat presented no danger iothe Soviet Union. He also said he did not know why Moscow has refused to allow U.S. diplomats to contact the Americans, who are in custody at an unknown loofction There is no desire on the part of the Soviet government to hold the fishermen captives " Menshikov said in AECs "Thb Week with David Brinkley." He added that the incident will be "solved quickly." The U.S. Coast Guard in Juneau, Alaska, first reported the incident Saturday. A spokesman said the Freida K, a 120-foot supply vessel for American fishing boats operat ing in the Bering Strait and the Arctic between Siberia and Alaska, had been due at its homeport of Nome, Alaska, last Wednesday on a run from Point Lay in north Alaska. The State Department said the Soviet Union only had reported that the men had been detained and had given no details on the inci dent itself or the men's whereabouts. "We wont know anything until we talk to the Americans," said Joseph Reap, a State Department spokesman. Adding to the mystery was a Radio Moscow English-langutge broadcast Saturday saying that "in August" Soviet sailers had rescued four American fishermen in the Bering Sea and a woman pilot from California whose plane had crashed on a flight to Hawaii The broadcast said the fishermen's boat had capsized and there was some initial confusion in the United States over whether the report referred to the Freida IC Reap told Reuters he had no information that the Freida K had capshed and a Coast Guard spokesman said ths maritime agency was aware of the two August incidents. The Coast Guard said the Freida K carried wter, fueled ether supplies to fiship.,1 Sects and ws cn its third trip to the tres whe n it was seized. The spokesman said the men were bssed in Homer, Alaska. GroiB-ccrEyin3 ki0liteF grounded HAMILTON, Bermuda A 28,000-ton freighter remained aground on reefs off Bermuda Sunday alter two attempts to fre it failed. The Se&Iuck, a 600-foot Maltese-rtsbtered bulk carrier with a mostly Philippine crew of 26, was carrying grain from Houston to Novorossiysk in the Soviet Union when it struck shallow reefs seven miles north of Bermuda Late Saturday. Two attempts to refloat the ship, owned by Thena Maris Shipping Management of New York, were unsuccessful, and salvage workers from the Dutch firm Smit Tacm flew to Ber muda Sunday. Bermuda's anti-pollution team has visited the ship but so far there are no signs of leaks from the 84 1 tons of bunker fuel or 133 tons of diesel oil the ship is carrying. Never theless, Iocs! facials are worried about the 1,200 tons of engine fuel on board. Talks may only reduce tensions WASHINGTON Vice President George Bush said on NECs "Meet the Press" that possibly all that would come from the Reagan-Gromyko meeting would be a reduction in tensions between the two nations, Soviet Communist P&rty Central Committee adviser Stanislav Menshikov said the outcome of the meeting would hinge on whether the United States offered any changes in its policies. Appearing on ABCs This Week with David Brmkley," Men shikov repeated the Kremlin's position on resuming arms con trol talks that it would depend on the United States stopping deployment of certain nuclear missiles in Western Europe. Assistant Secretary of State Richard Burt ssid on the same program that the United States was prepared to be flexible on arms control, regional issues and bilateral relations but that Moscow also must be willing to make concessions. lieagon leads in Newoireeli noil WASHINGTON A Newsweek opinion poll published Sun day showed the Reagan-Bush ticket leading Mondale-Ferraro ty 18 percentage points, 57 percent to 39 percent This was In tne range ofthe 15 percent margin found by Gallup Poll announced Thursday and the 16 'percent found by an ABC News-Wshpgton Post poll announced Wnine&iay.
