Expansion includes
Malone Center

A land trade proposal between UNL
and the city of Lincoln extending city
campus's eastern border to 22nd St.
will benefit the Lincoln and UNL com
munities but is frustrating residents in
the Malone Community Center area,
officials said Monday.
The land exchange is an amendment
to the Radial Reuse Task Force's 1984
recommendation that would have used
city-owned land from 19th to 22nd
streets, between Vine and Q streets, for
new housing developments and park
land.
The proposed Northeast Radial High
way was to run between 20th and 22nd
streets borders but was voted down in
1981.
The task force's current recommen
dation allows for a trade of city-owned
land in this area in exchange for UNL
land presently used as gravel parking
lots. The lots are located south of the
Burlington Northern Tracks, from 17th
Street to Ninth Street.
The exact amount of land to be
exchanged has not been decided yet,
said Ray Coffey, UNL business manager.
Although the proposal is in its early
stages, Coffey said parking lots, recrea
tional areas and other structures for
the UNL community will be built in the
area received in the trade.
The land given by UNL then would be
used to extend Holdrege Street from
the 17th Street viaduct around the
north edge of campus to Ninth and 10th
streets, said Dallas McGee, Lincoln's
community development program
manager. The amount of land exchanged
would be of equal value, he said.
Topher Hansen, president of the
Malone Neighborhood Association, said
area residents haven't been able to
make long-term decisions about their
property because they are unsure of
future land decisions.
The area around the Malone Com
munity Center consists of 109 residen
tial units, including 55 single family
homes. UNL might try to buy back land
in the area from residents to help meet
their construction goals, Coffey said.
"I can't assert that everyone is
mad," said Hansen. "The common
denominator is frustration. It's mostly
because this uncertainty continues on
and on and on,"
The UNL Board of Regents in 1968
set the city campus's eastern border at
22nd Street, but because of the high
way's possible construction, moved the
border back ,to 20th Street.
The highway's construction was voted
down in 1981, leaving land that was
then recommended in 1984 by the
city's Radial Reuse Task Force to be
turned into parkland and new housing
developments.
This newly proposed land trade,
however, would give this land to UNL,
said McGee.
"The city's plans and the universi
ty's plans for once agree with each
other," Coffey said.
Both McGee and Coffey said the land
exchange would provide better access
between downtown and northeast Lin
coln and help cut down traffic flow on
16th and 17th streets.
Coffey said traffic on these streets
through the city campus might be elim
inated altogether if the land trade and
Holdrege Street extension plans are
achieved.
Although the Malone Community
Center is not included in the land
trade, the center owns about five lots
across U Street from the center, which
won't be sold to UNL for development,
said Wright Robinson, interim manager
of Center Operations.
"We're not going to sell any property
and we're not going to trade," Robinson
said.
The Malone Center's board of direc
tors had planned to extend the center
into the land now occupied by a play
ground and empty lots, Robinson said.
He said the long-term effects on the
neighborhood are not clearly under
stood yet by residents and the center's
officials.
UNL isn't bidding to buy the Malone
Center but may in the future, Coffey
said. The land trade would benefit Lin
coln and UNL by giving both room for
needed expansion, he said.
"You're going to have to say, "Hey,
this is where the university needs to go
to," Coffey said.
Two meetings are planned with
Malone area residents in July and
August to explain the proposal's long
term effects, said McGee. The land
trade proposal will then go to the city
council in October or November, after
it is reviewed by the council's Planning
Committee, he said.

Osborne said Monday the NCAA ha
talked to both Shada and DuBose.
"They talked to Marsha and they
visited with a lot of people on our cam
pus," Osborne said.
"Doug (DuBose) was among a lot of
players who talked to the NCAA people
in the spring," Osborne said.
When asked if the NCAA had talked
to her, Shada said, "I really don't have
anything to say on the matter. Anything
dealing with the NCAA has to go
through Coach Osborne."
DuBose could not be reached for
comment.
Osborne said the NCAA has not con

concerning the matter.
"We have not received anything from
the NCAA," Osborne said. He said the
NCAA would contact the school if there
were potential violations found.
Marchers
leave trash,
bad impression
By James M. Lillis
Senior Reporter
The Peace Marchers entered Lincoln
in late June, and those who lodged
them during their stay have mixed
reactions to their guests.
More than 500 informed and enter
tained Lincolnites with a rally at the
CapitolJune 29. Some camped out near
Oak Lake, while others moved into res
idents' homes and organizations such
as the YWCA.
Mic Dyer of Lincoln said he had a
-friend in the Peace March. His friend
marched from Los Angeles to Colorado.
His friend stayed with his parents in
Colorado until asked to leave their
home. He called Dyer and asked to stay
with him in his apartment while the
marchers were in Lincoln.
Dyer welcomed his friend and other
marchers into his home because he was
housesitting his parents' home while
the marchers were in Lincoln.
When he returned, his apartment
was left a "messy pit" with beer bottles
strung out all over it.
"What was worse was that they were
expensive imported beer bottles," Dyer
said. "Even I can't afford St. Pauley
Girl beer."
He said the marchers told him they
couldn't afford a place to stay, but, he
said, they could mess up his apartment
and drink expensive beer. He said he
was disappointed because the marchers
appeared to be serious and attempted
to make a peaceful impression.
"I don't want to sound like an
asshole, but if I were a guest in some
one else's home, I would have shown
my gratitude by at least cleaning up
the place before I left," Dyer said.
He said at the rally he met a few
people who were serious about their
peaceful ideals and he said he respects
them. But he said he viewed the march
as a big party, and it seemed like their
priorities needed some rearranging.
