Parking continues to be a UNL problem
Parking tickets cause
woes for UNL student
The University of Nebraska-Lin
coln and the UNL Police Department
seriously need to re-evaluate their
parking policies, especially those
enforced on football game days.
I got to campus early for the
UNL V game Oct. 1, only to find that
all the commuter lots had been
Mocked off for the alumni, the boost
ers or those who had an extra $3 to $5
burning a hole in their pockets.
Finally, I decided to park in the
Harper-Schramm-Smith “rape lot,”
as it’s termed. Friends have told me
that for the past four years, they have
been parking there with no problems
during the games. There were no
visible signs posted saying that I
could not park in the lot, so I did so.
When the game was over, my
friends and I went back to the car and
found a $ 15 parking ticket under my
windshield wiper.
Thanks a lot, UNL! I pay you $4U
to. hopefully, park in the commuter
lots (in which spaces are 25 percent
oversold anyway). J^>ay you $42 for
a football ticket. And let’s not forget
all the hours 1 stand in line to do this.
And you thank me for my participa
tion, my support and my loyalty by
slapping SI5 parking tickets under
my windshield wipers during a foot
ball game. It’s really pathetic!
Amd I do seriously question the
charging of students to park in the
commuter lots when they are on
campus to study. A friend of mine
was at Nebraska Hall Saturday morn
ing and was told he couldn’t park in
the lot unless he paid to do so. The
man stood by this, even when my
friend said he wasn’t even attending
the game, but was there to finish a
project that was due.
So, why do I come to UNL? Evi
dently, for UNL and the UNL Police
Department to gel all the money they
can out of me; to be practically,
consistently late for classes because
of lack of spaces to park; and of
course, to further support the football
program by paying $15 parking tick
ets that are given out during football
games.

Campus really needs
a multi-story garage
1 think it is time to solve the prob
lem of parking on the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln campus by build
ing a multi-story garage.
Many reasons can be given for
such a project. Some of these reasons
are the increasing number of ve
hicles, students, employees, visitors
and vendors, and the fact that the
current parking sites are inadequate.
The most suitable area on campus
for such a project is the Lot 16 area in
the 1987-88 Parking Handbook as
well as the area just to the north of it.
These areas are located on the central
site of university properties, between
Love Library North, Andrews Hall,
Bancroft Hall, Selieck Quadrangle
and the Nebraska Union.
Obviously this is a giant project.
Its cost will be very high, but parking
fees should cover the costs. There
must be technical efficiency in de
sign and execution. It’s clearly avail
able since many such projects have
been built in Lincoln.
As a civil engineer, I can estimate
the number of stalls for the proposed
construction. With eight stories to
each building, the number would be
almost 3,000 stalls. This would solve
a great portion of the parking prob
lem. Some of the advantages that
would be created from this proposed
project are additional space, protec
tion from weather, and closer access
to important buildings.
It’s clear that it’s important to
think about solving the growing
parking problem on campus. In the
future, a similar project could take
place on East Campus if the same
problem arises.

UNL
Student says letter
was mistakenly printed
Through an apparent misunder
standing between Daily Nebraskan
editors and myself, a letter to the
editor was printed (DN, Sept. 30)
very critical of the way the Univer
sity of Nebraska-Lincoln was han
dling the drinking of alcohol in
campus fraternities.
This letter was written back in
April by a member of a UNL frater
nity just a few weeks after the death
of a young woman at a Rutgers Uni
versity fraternity from alcohol poi
soning. The letter was given to the
DN only to suggest that the editors
closely examine the issue of whether
the university’s lack of attention has
contributed to any alcohol problem
that might exist in UNL fraternities.
My grcek friends may rest assured
that any confidences that have been
imparted to me in the past or in the
future will be preserved. Those per
sons that have known me and my long
association with greeks are well
aware that I have long recognized the
benefits of living in a house besides
just for their “non-house” house par
ties.

Editor's note: Milder’s name
was included on the salutation of
the original letter. His student I.D.
card was checked, following DN
policy. Also, there was no request
that die letter not be published.
Lincolnite questions
Venture Capitol Plan
I sec that Gov. Kay Orr is consid
ering a “Venture Capitol Plan." In
as-much as we were COMMON
WEALTH VICTIMS, some ques
tions immediately come to mind:
No. 1 — Has die checked to see if
this money will be insured (guaran
teed) safe by something better than
the NDIGC? (Probably KDIGC in
Kansas?) She should keep in mind
that even though Kansas senators
may assure her it is safe, it is still
suspect.
No. 2 — Why a Kansas firm? Her
Economic Development Department
is asking each of us to “Buy Ne
braska." Why not her? Surely, her tax
breaks will entice someone — espe
cially if she (spelled WE) is pulling
up all the capital. (I realize, that I
don’t cater to the “Buy Nebraska”
advice, but then we COMMON
WEALTH VICTIMS were consid
ered “not too smart, and also greedy”
when we took the promises (guaran
tee) of our Nebraska senators, and
invested “where the interest was.")
On second thought, why worry
about it? As Will Rogers might well
have said, “Politics don’t make no
sense to common people no how!”

Gays are encouraged
to step out of closet
Studies indicate at least one per
son in 10 is gay or lesbian, meaning
2,400 people on the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln campus alone. Yet
many people insist they “don’t know
any gay people’’ because we are an
invisible minority.
Today we attempt so change that
Today is the first anniversary of the
historic March on Washington for
Gay and Lesbian Civil Rights and has
been designated National Coming
Out Day to increase the visibility of
fays and lesbians in the United
tales. Wc are present in every class,
sector, age, race, religion and group
in the world, whether people know it
or not. We are a cultural minority
with a long history and a distin
guished heritage.
In accordance with the national
theme, we are encouraging everyone
at UNL to consider “liking the next
step.” If you’re still in the closet,
consider telling a close friend; if
you’re out already, maybe mention it
to classmates who assume you’re
straight; even if you’re straight, you
can “come out” by speaking when
someone makes an anti-gay remark
or increasing your own knowledge.
Or visit one of the planned events: An
information booth in the Nebraska
Union; a demonstration of visibility,
support and unity by Broyhill Foun
tain shortl y after noon; or the show ing
of the video “Before Stonewall,” a
documentary about gays and lesbians
in the 20th century, at 7; 30 p.m. in the
union.
Coming out is a risk — people
have lost their jobs or have been
rejected by family or friends because
of irrational fears. The risk of contin
ued silence is greater, though. The
more people who are honest with
themselves and those around them,
the more power we have as a diverse
but unified group to end our oppres
sion. Take that next step and together
we can go out of the closets and into
the streets.
