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.

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

• the chancellor’s office said.

to the chancellor, said the new direc

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
