Property, boolcstore delays
consllractioii om Lied Cemtei
By Deb Pederson
Senior Reporter
Two things are delaying construc
tion on the $20 million Lied Center for
the Performing Arts: the Knights of
Pythias property and construction on
the new Nebraska Bookstore, said UNL
Business Manager Ray Coffey.
The Knights of Pythias property is
the only piece of property on 12th
Street between Q and R streets that the
University doesn't own, Coffey said.
"The university's legal counsel com
pleted filing for condemnation on that
property last week," Coffey said. "The
court hearing has been set for early
November."
UNL also is waiting for Nebraska
Bookstore to finish its new building on
1 3th and Q streets so the present build
ing can be razed for the Lied Center, he
said.
The university has offered to help
affected businesses relocate, Coffey
said.
The businesses on R Street from
11th to 12th streets will be given at
least 30 days notice before they must
move, he said.
These businesses lease their prop
erty from the university. Their con
tracts say UNL can claim the property
when the lease is up if the university
needs it.
Kinko's Copies, 1 237 R St., may seem
like an exception to this policy, Coffey
said. But the difference is that its orig
inal location near St. Mark's Episcopal
Church, 1303 R St., was going to be
used privately, not publicly. The prop
erty was part of a land switch deal with
Nebraska Bookstore! so the bookstore
could relocate south of St. Mark's.
Because of Kinko's lease, the univer
sity had to relocate the business at a
similar site, Coffey said. Tommy's Game
Room and Deli's lease had no renewal
clause and was near expiration at that
time, so UNL plans to relocate Kinko's
at Tommy's original address, 1 229 R St.,
as soon as renovations are complete.
Tommy's moved to 245 N. 13th St.
after its lease expired.
Other businesses on the Howell
Theater block probably will be moved
for landscaping of Lied Center, Coffey
said. The businesses include Ted and
Wally's, 312 N. 12th St., Lancaster
House Printing and Publishing Co.,
1200 Q St., Bloom Typewriter, 323 N.
13th St., and Pontillo's Pizzeria, 1246 Q
St.
The Lied Center won't compete with
Howell Theater and Kimball Hall's
academic programs, Coffey said.
"The Lied Center is simply going to
allow and permit much greater perfor
mances that can be brought in and can
be done in a more complete way with
the appropriate facilities, he said.
Cauble: Students worsened conflict
SELLECK from Page 1
Charles Lieurance, a Selleck resi
dent sat in the yard to protest. Lieu
rance said the officers pulled him up
from the ground, called him a "punk,"
arrested him and pulled him aside.
Cauble said police believe in the
right to protest However, he said, Lieu
rance made an already bad situation
worse.
Although he couldn't excuse what
the officers said, Cauble said, he sup
ports what they did. In situations like
this one, police must use their own
discretion, he said.
Lieurance agreed that he didn't help
matters.
"Although I did provoke the inci
dent," he said, "I did not provoke the
response."
Glenn Gray, Selleck director, said
Lieurance could have protested by fil
ing a complaint in his office.
Ray Korpi, Selleck president, said he
waited until the police broke up the
group before he entered the dispute.
He said he asked the officers to turn
their car radios down because they
were waking up Selleck residents.
Korpi said Officer Farrin used pro
fanity while telling him to go back
inside.
Rother, who still was watching the
events, said Korpi picked the "wrong
time" to complain. He said the police
were being provoked and the profanity
was understandable under the circum
stances. "A comment like that should really
be overlooked," he said.
Cauble said officers Farrin and Meyer
are sorry about their profane language.
. "They felt bad about it that night,"
he said. "They felt worse about it when
I talked to them. Now, they feel even
worse about it because the other guys
are saying, Thanks a lot, Buddy.' "
Cauble said Farrin and Meyer made
the rest of the police force look bad to
the student body.
"Since Thursday," he said, "I have
heard of four situations where students
have egged on officers about it."
Gray said he hoped some good came
out of the meeting Monday night. He
said UNL Police are important to him
as Selleck director, and that he wants
to see police and students re-establish
good rapport.
In the future, similar incidents could
be avoided if students go through the
proper channels when they want some
thing like a camp-out, Gray said. Also,
when disturbances arise in the resi
dence halls, hall officials should be
contacted before the police, he said.
"We can deal with them," Gray said.
"The police shouldn't have been called.
They should be left for more important
things."
Senate bills explain grading policies
By Jen Deselms
Staff Reporter
The ASUN Senate will vote tonight
on two bills that would make grading
policies and appeals processes easily
accessible to students.
Senate Bill 13 encourages the UNL
Faculty Senate to develop a policy to
inform students about "requirements,
standards, objectives and evaluation
procedures" on the course syllabus.
The bill also says omitting the informa
tion leads students to assume that pro
fessors adhere to the grading scale and
policy most common at the University.
Engineering Sen, Anita Nichols said
the bill will help students know how
they will be graded
Nichols said most teachers in the
College of Engineering and Technology
grade on a curve. The bill will not set a
grading scale, but recommends a pol
icy to let students know the grading
scale being used, she said.
Sen. Dan Hofmeister said students
have the right to know how they are
graded. The ASUN Academic Commit
tee collected syllabi from various UNL
colleges and found that many of the
syllabi provide very little information
on the grading policy, he said. Without
faculty senate support, Hofmeister said,
"this bill is merely a reminder and not
something concrete."
The second bill encourages college
deans to place their grading appeals
process in their college bulletins. Under
the supervision of the college dean,
professors should include where the
appeals process can be found on the
class syllabus.
Hofmeister said many students know
that a grading appeals process exists,
but don't know how it works.
Nichols said she didn't realize until
she became involved with the bills that
each college has a different process for
appeals.
The bill quotes several NU Board of
Regents' bylaws as reasoning for the
bills. Regent bylaw 5.1 says "each
major administration unit shall public
ize and keep current all rules, regula
tions and policies concerning students,
and insure that they are readily availa-.
ble to all students and other interested
persons."
Hofmeister said the bill would make
the information easier to find. He said
it would simplify things for students
and help the system run more smoothly.
The committee still is investigating
the appeals process and the actual
grounds for appeal.
