The NU Foundation has received a
meat-packing plant as a gift the larg
est such gift it has ever received, an
official said Friday.
Year-long negotiations concluded Fri
day when the NU Foundation received
the deed to American Stores Com
pany's Lincoln meat-packing plant at
Second and 0 streets. The plant, on a

RHA withdraws support of bill
criticizing DN news coverage
By Diana Johnson

After 20 minutes of discussion, Res
idence Hali Association senators with
drew a motion to support an AS UN bill
directed at examining Daily Nebraskan
news coverage.
Doug Wecms, the RHGreek Com
mission chairman who introduced the
bill, withdrew the motion because he
said he only intended to provoke dis
cussion of the bill.
The resol ut ion, known as Senate Bill
21, directs the UNL Publications Board
to "stress to the DN to cover campus
events, programs and activities in an
unbiased, objective, accurate and fair
manner."
Weems also said at the regular RHA
meeting Thursday that he was unsure
of the bill's "jurisdiction and what it
will do."
"We are not trying to come off as
though we're saying the DN is some
kind of scandal sheet," Weems said,
"but there is always room for im
provement."

UNL students can hear five promi
nent UNL alumni talk about their
careers as part of Masters Week, Nov.
13 through 16.
The four-day event will give students
an idea of what is involved with the
particular careers of the speakers, said
Dan Longacre, Innocents Society chair
man for Master's Week.
"We hope this will help out some
students who are deciding on a major

Although the plant probably won't
be used as a slaughtering facility, the
foundation wants to put it back into

its peak, the American Stores plant
employed 700 to 900 people.
The plant has been appraised at
more than $10 million, said Michael T.
Miller, senior vice president at Ameri
can Stores' Salt Lake City headquar
ters. But the actual value of the gift
could be more or less depending on the
market value and how the plant will be
used, he said.

Weems said the bill was designed to
express the RHGreek Commission's
opinion of the Daily Nebraskan's news
coverage.

The NU Foundation cannot sell the
plant for three years, but can sell or
lease the equipment, valued at about
$1.5 million, Varner said.
The plant has been kept in good
condition since closing and would be
ready for re-opening on short notice, he
said. The plant could slaughter 1,000 to
1,200 cattle a day and make sausage,
lunch meats and cured meats. The
plant also includes 250,000 square feet
of refrigerated space and an open area
about the size of a football field.
Varner said if the economy prevents
re-entry of the plant into the meat
packing market, it could be converted
into a large commercial storage site.

Pete Castellano, RHA vice president,
said he realizes "that there is some
concern about not being covered by the
DN the way some people want them to,
but I feel that to support this now
would jeopardize relations with the
DN.
"Right now, we have good relations
with the DN that we've never had
before," he said. "We cannot dictate
what they're going to write."
Castellano suggested that the
RHGreek Commission members talk
with DN editors or write letters to the
newspaper expressing their opinions.
