Nebraska is "very, very big," said
Hideaki Takizawa, 21, who majors in
law at Senshu. Although Senshu has
19,000 students, Takizawa said that
it seems much smaller than the UNL
campus.
Maki Yamada, 20, said the UNL
campus is very beautiful and green.
Yamada majors in English and Amer
ican Literature.
None of the Japanese students
knew of Willa Gather, the Nebraska
author. Most of the students asked
knew nothing about Nebraska before
coming to Lincoln.
But they all hope to become more
familiar with both English and Ne
braska. Norio Takemura, a Senshu pro
fessor, and UNL Chancellor Martin
Massengale were among some of the
initiators of this exchange program.
Takemura, a member of Committee
for International Exchange at Sen
shu, spent four years teaching Japanese-related
seminars at UNL until
about two years ago.
Senshu University will probably
send a group of students to UNL for
the Intensive English program every
summer, Takemura said.
Massengale, who spoke at the
welcoming ceremony, said the pro
gram will "improve mutual under
standing and cooperation between
the two countries."

they were speaking Japanese.

the students were still speaking
"What's worse, their teachers
were, too," Ford said Thursday mor

The college students from Sen

studying English speech, grammar,

In order to make the most of their
Intensive English experience, the
students should try not to speak any
Japanese, Ford said.
Various activities and field trips
have been planned, including a trip
through central Nebraska, stopping
at Sherman Dara Reservoir, Cedar
Lane Ranch, Buffalo Bill's home and

One day trips include stops at

Land trade controversial
By Michael Hooper
Staff Reporter
At best it's a controversy. At worst
it's a fight over land.
At hand is an eight-block section of
the Malone neighborhood, between 19th
and 22nd streets and Vine and S
streets.
UNL officials want to expand UNL's
boundary from 19th to 22nd and possi
bly use the area for parking and recrea
tional facilities.
But Malone officials say that ex
tending the UNL boundary will not only
isolate the Malone Community Center
and Malone Manor on 22nd and Vine
streets, but may also make the area
less compatible for the Manor's 50
elderly residents.
"I'm not sure (the Malone Manor)
can even be compatible in that UNL
setting," said Carl Kopines, Malone
Manor's resident manager.
"That (UNL plan) is a totally differ
ent vision than we had when we opened
up Malone Manor," he said.
Extending UNL's boundry to 22nd
Street has been UNL's plan since 1967,
said Ray Coffey, UNL business manager.
Although the Regents approved the
plan a year ago, thus giving UNL the
authority to carry it out, negotiations
will occur between UNL, Malone com
munity officials and the Radial Reuse
Task Force said George Chick, Lincoln
urban development director.
At a meeting Wednesday night,
Malone Board members adopted a reso
lution that calls for UNL and the city to
include Malone representatives in their
planning discussions and to develop a
campus plan in those meetings.
John Reed, Malone Board president,
said he and other Malone officials
knew little of UNL's plans.
"We just want the university to
include us in their meetings," he said.
"We should be able to know what's
happening in our neighborhood."
Two years ago the city adopted a
plan that recommended UNL's land
between 19th and 20th streets and Vine
and S streets be consolidated for uni
versity expansion, said Dallas McGee,
Lincoln community development man
ager. It also recommended that just to
the east of 20th Street a park and resi
dential housing be built.
But the plan approved by the Regents
last year would amend the city's plan
and expand UNL's land east to 22nd
Street and south to Q Street. Under this
plan the park would not be built nor
would residential homes, McGee said.
McGee said the city still owns much
of the land UNL wants to expand on, so
UNL and city officials drew up a land
trade. The city would trade its land in
the Malone area, worth an estimated

Dormitory gets facelift
Neihardt repairs include new windows, gutters
By James M. Lillis
Senior Reporter
Costly window and drainage damage
in the Neihardt Residence Center is
being repaired and steps are being
taken to prevent damage in the future.
The restoration of the windows and
gutter drains is part of an overall plan
to beautify and keep Neihardt in good
condition, said Glen Schumann, assis
tant director of housing at UNL. After
the damage is repaired the dormitory
will be prepped for further work in the
spring. A courtyard with benches, flow
ers and trees is planned.
"The windows haven't been painted
in 10 years," Schumann said, "and the
paint only lasts about seven."
The round-topped windows have been
costly in heating and cooling in the
past, Schumann said. The frames are
being prepped and repainted now, and
new aluminum storm windows will be
installed.
"The cost for the window project will
range from $8,000 to $10,000," Schu
mann said, "but the savings will pay for
the project easily in five to seven
years."
A four-man maintenance crew has
been working on Neihardt all summer.
Besides windows, they have also been
working on gutter drains in the court
yard and water damage to the founda
tion along with small painting jobs.
The clay downspouts will be replaced
with PVC pipes which run under the
complex into the sewer. The reason for
the replacement is because the old
clay pipes would break and water
would seep into the foundation. Six
other drains are being put into the
courtyard to drain the future cement or
block sidewalk during heavy rains.
All window wells are being covered
and sealed with cement. This will pre
vent further damage from water seep
age and prevent rats, leaves and trash
from being blown in the wells, Schumann
said. Also, the earth around the dormi
tory will be raised 18 inches and
tapered off for seven feet. On top of that
a rubber sheet will be placed. This will
allow water to run away from the build
ing and prevent water damage. The
overall cost for the work to be done at
Neihardt will be about $30,000.
"It's a grand old building," Schu
mann said. "We want to keep her that
way."
