contemporary society which would most
apply to their jobs after graduation,
according to the final report of the
Chancellor's Commission of General
Liberal Education, distributed at the
April meeting of the UNL Faculty Senate
Tuesday afternooa
General education is defined by the
report as promoting the understanding
of a broad area of knowledge, whereas
liberal education develops attitudes,
- thought processes, and basic abilities
r expected from an educated person.
"As a comprehensive research uni
versity, UNL should develop a general
education that is as up-to-date and
innovative as its specialized degree
and research and other creative pro
grams," the report said.
The report said that general educa

Husker park planned
for land near stadium

Nebraska football fans and area
businesses soon will be able to buy
their own space in "Cornhusker Park,"
a recreational and parking area to be
constructed a block west of Memorial
Stadium, developers say.
The Longview Development Corp. in
Savanna, Ga., recently bought 12.8
acres near the stadium from the Chi
cago and North Western Transporta
tion Co. and the Missouri Railroad.
Harry Kitchen, vice president of
Longview Development, said construc
tion will begin soon on three of the
acres to build a two-story pavilion and
a 195-space luxury parking project
suitable for tailgate parties on football
Saturdays.
Kitchen said Husker fans can pur
chase spaces for $10,900 each. For that
price, owners can bring one vehicle and
up to eight people into the park to
socialize before and after the game.
Twenty-five letters-of-intent to buy
spaces already have been signed, Kit
chen said.

faculty members relationship with the
university because it encourages inter
nal reallocation and salary boosts on
impulses driven by the desire to sup
port researchers in areas of high income
potential rather than high academic
need.
In dissent, Sen. Louis Leviticus, pro
fessor of agricultural engineering, said
that because the senate hasn't seen
the resolution, "we really don't know
what we're talking about."
In other business, a motion was
passed that woud create a committee
to study the effectiveness of the senate
because it has difficulty dealing with
issues that come through committees.
Kitchen said he expects about 60
percent of the spaces to be bought by
individuals and the rest by area busi
nesses. Marketing for the project offi
cially began this week. Kitchen said
most will be done through personal
contacts.
He said he believes the park has a lot
to offer the city of Lincoln as well as the
university.
"Driving into Lincoln, that area is
your first impression of Lincoln," Kit
chen said, "and right now that area
looks pretty raw." The park will be
"extremely attractive" and a positive
statement about the city, he said. Kit
chen said the park also will create
excitement and will encourage those
developing the nearby area to do a good
job.
So far, Longview Development Corp.
officials haven't decided whether to
sell the land not being used for the
project or how much to develop it
themselves, Kitchen said, but they
have received several calls from people
who are interested in developing it.
Similar projects have been success
ful at the universities of South Caroli
na at Columbia, Kitchen said.
