ASUN president favors new parking fee proposal PARKING from Page 1 Blaha said he thinks Hill’s plan will not receive much support from committee members. Committee decisions arc ap proved by John Goebel, vice chancel lor of business and finance and Chan cellor Martin Massengale. Hill said he will talk to members of the Parking Advisory Committee about the proposal during the com mittee’s meeting today. He said he also will try to persuade Goebel and Massengale to implement a new fee plan. Five cases are diagnosed UPDATE from Page 1 Because the semester is almost over, Ewert said, there arc no plans to require students to present pnx>f of immunization as they enter final exams. Students who feel sick should stay home, he said. Students should not skip finals because they fear catching the dis ease, he said. Health center officials will not give students excuses to miss a final for that reason, he said. Ewert said officials have not dc cidcd if graduation exercises should be restricted. They probably will be making that decision later this week, he said. Ewert said the health center soil js receiving “lots of phone calls” from concerned students who want immu nization shots. The students can go to the center and get shots during the clinic’s business hours, he said. Several hundred students have been immunized at the health center since the mass immunizations April 2b and 27. New director of public affairs sought by chancellor’s office From Staff Reports University of Ncbraska-Lincoln officials arc looking for someone to fill the newly created position of di rector of public affairs, an official in • the chancellor’s office said. Herbert Howe, interim associate to the chancellor, said the new direc tor will be responsible for “planning, implementing and evaluating the university’s institutional advance ment and public relations activities. ’ ’ The new director also will coordi natc UNL’s institutional informa tion, image and public relations ac tivities, Howe said. The university created the posi tion based on recommendations from the Chancellor’s Image and Commu nications Task Force, he said. A search committee composed ol faculty and administrators has inter viewed four candidates so far, Howe said. Howe said they hope to fill the position by the end of this summer. New bike trails will grantl another commuting option By Roger Price Staff Reporter University of Ncbraska-Lincoln students and faculty members will have new options for commuting between campuses when new cam pus bike trails are completed. John Luddcn, chairman of the Mayor’s Recreational Trail Advisory Committee, said his committee will use a $ 1.7 million bond issue to con vert abandoned railroad beds into bike trails throughout the city. Abandoned railroad beds arc ideal for bicycle trails, Luddcn said, be cause they arc level, can handle heavy traffic and offer long, uninter rupted stretches. Ludden said he hopes to have the major trails, including the one that will connect City and East campuses, completed within 12 to 18 months. Luddcn said he wants to sec tht trail between the two campuses be i Class I trail. He said Class I trails art paved and open only to bicyclists ant pedestrians. Based on other cities’ estimations Luddcn expects a high percentage o trail users to be members of the uni versity community. In Madison, Wis., Luddcn said, 4C percent of the traffic within three miles of campus is university faculty members and students. Madison is a good city to compare with Lincoln, he said, because it’s about the same size and has a major university. One problem the committee is facing is routing the trails across City Campus, Ludden said. Ludden said he wants to use the section of the historical Rock Island line that runs across campus. But the university has already built over parts of the Rock Island line and the pro posed trail would have to go around these structures, he said. The property city officials want to use to bypass those structures is owned by Union Pacific. Thus, city officials must get permission from UP to build on this property before they can complete the trail. The trails also must cross busy streets, he said. Luddcn said his committee looked at three options for getting the trail across O Street: going over, under, or using traffic signals. The trail proba bly will cross O Street at 19th or 21 st street, he said. Luddcn said building an overpass or underpass would cost about $500,000, while using existing lights on O Street would not cost much. Ludden’s committee also is look* ing at installing lights on Vine Street, where the trails would cross at 19th Street. Not only would the new bike trails be more convenient for bicycle rid ers, they also would reduce automo bile traffic on city streets, Ludden said, because more commuters would ride bicycles. In other cities that have extensive trail systems, Ludden said, traffic has been, reduced by. W to Ji).pffW0L
