Editor’s Note:
Swimming and sunning are the
most common summer activities.
We decided to devote an entire
issue on the subject to give readers
new ideas on an old but loved
subject. Even though Nebraska is a
landlocked state our reporters were
inundated with water activities.
In this issue we have also included
warnings about common summer
safety hazards — skin cancer and
diving accidents. Skin cancer is the
most prevalent form of cancer. Dr.
Rodney Basler, dermatologist at the
University Health Center said, any
amount of sun is too much. Most
students probably won’t heed such
a strict warning so we have given
some ideas on how to protect your
skin and the signals of skin cancer.
Diving accidents are also prevalent.
We recommend following Lincoln
General Hospital's "Feet First, First
Time" warning.
This issue also includes a column
about swimming in the city’s foun
tains. We hope you will eiyoy the
article but not follow its lead.

Regents pledge Curtis school
By Chris McCubbin
Staff Reporter__
A resolution to offer the Curtis
School of Technical Agriculture to
Midplains College at the lowest possible
cost was proposed by Regent Don Blank
at the monthly Board of Regents meeting
last Saturday. Midplains College, a two
year college, has campuses in North
Platte and McCook.
The board voted to acquire Husker
Hall, an 84-student residential facility
at 705 N. 23rd St., from Cornhusker
Co-op Inc. in return for assuming the
facility’s debts of around $240,000. The
debt consists mainly of back taxes and
U.S. Department of Education loans.
The regents voted to acquire the
Liberty Plaza

Lincoln’s lady
By Trevor McArthur
Staff Reporter
A dedication ceremony Friday ended
a year and a half long campaign to
refurbish and relocate Lincoln’s replica
of the Statue of Liberty.
City officials and the Consulate Gen
eral of France thanked everyone who
contributed to the project.
The statue was given to the city in
1951 by the Boy Scouts ar.d cost $178,000
to refurbish Its new resting place,
Liberty Plaza in Antelope Park, includes
a marble wall engraved with names of
contributors who donated $300 or more.
Max DeCalbiac, consulate general of
France, said the original Statue of
Liberty was a symbol of love and
freedom and a bond between France
and the United States. DeCalbiac pre
sented the city with a medal from
France in commemoration of the
original statue's centennial.
The Liberty Plaza is part of an
Antelope Park improvement project. A
spokesman from the Parks and Recrea
tion Department said the new plaza
will be used for many events. The next
project will be an expanded children’s
playground near the plaza.

property in spite of objections by David
Hunter, an independent developer who
criticized the university's land acquisi
tion policy and suggested that it would
be more economical to put Husker Hall
on the market and lease it from the
developers.
The regents also accepted a proposal
which would change the name of the
Department of Agricultural Bio
chemistry to the Department of Bio
chemistry and establish a campuswide
center for biological chemistry.
A contract was accepted from Elec
tronic Media One Inc. of Omaha to
refurbish the scoreboard in Memorial
Stadium and to install four smaller
scoreboards over the stadium en
trances.
After a debate the regents voted to
designate FirsTier Bank as financial
consultant/managing underwriter and
the firm of Cline, Williams, Wright,
Johnson and Oldfather as hond council
for the Board of Regents. This gives
these firms responsibility for prelimin
ary development of all NU bond issues
for one year.
Regents Nancy Hoch and Blank
objected to the university limiting itself
to one firm in bond issues. Hoch
encouraged the regents to be open to
other firms’ proposals when the appoint
ment is reviewed next year. Hoch said
she was satisfied with the job done by
Cline, Williams and FirsTier for the
university so far, but she said she did
not want to shut out firms with com
petitive proposals.
Regent Robert Koefoot sponsored a
resolution to extend NU President
Ronald Roskens’ contract one year. In
addition to praising Roskens1 work, the
resolution provided a $6,000 pay raise,
putting Roskens’ annual salary at
$99,500.
The regents also voted to accept the
1987-88 general operating budget.
The regents’ next meeting will be
held in Scottsbluff on July 25.

Last year a Lancaster County survey
found 75 illegal dumping sites along
Salt Creek and its tributaries. The
waste included old cars, underground
gasoline storage tanks, old tires, house
hold garbage, appliances, jugs of house
hold chemicals and car batteries. Any
water that manages to get past the

throughout the southern half of the
county.
Salt Creek is a mess, but some
people want to clean it up.

project. John Bonebright and Dave
