Benches, decorative trees to adorn Lied’s north lawn By Doug Isakson Staff Reporter By next spring, the open area north of the Lied Center for Performing Arts at the University of Nebraska Lincoln will become a plaza with benches, brick walkways and orna mental trees, said the campus land scape architect. Kim Todd said the plaza will pro vide an “urban open space” and will be designed to enhance the cultural and arts environment of the south west part of campus. Part of the S75,()(X) to $1(X),(XX) project will be paid for by an alloca tion to the Lied Center for grounds expenses, Todd said, and $10,(XX) will come from the chancellor’s of fice for the grounds department. The remaining costs will be paid by “The Friends of Lied,” a fund raising group that, for $50, will be selling personalized paving bricks which will be laid in the plaza’s walk ways. * A press conference at the plaza site is scheduled for Saturday to pro vide information about the fund-rais ing efforts. "Really, at this point, you can go out and look at what it’s going to be,” Todd said. "I sec it as being a pleas ant place for use by students, faculty and stall during everyday campus life . . . and really a good front drop, or Iront lawn, lor the Lied Center.” CIA from Page 1 have improved since the days when it recruited anonymously, Bowman said, CIA recruiters still don’t belong at UNL. Kent Cargilc, recruiter for the CIA, said the agency has recruited at UNL every year for several years and has hired UNL graduates in the past. Recruiters typically look for stu dents with engineering, computer science, liberal arts, business or for eign language majors, but will inter view any interested student, Cargilc said. Usually, CIA recruiters have full schedules of 13 to 14 appointments each day of recruiting on a particular campus, he said. “I don't think we’ic different from any other employer.” he said. Although CIA recruiters have not had big problems with protest groups in the past, Cargile said, there have been demonstrations on some cam puses where the recruiters conduct interviews. ‘‘There have been some in stances,” he said. ‘‘Typically they’ve had their protest, and then we’ve been able to recruit.” GROUP from Page 1 coordinators, refused to comment on the group’s plans. Thornlison said even if it were certain that a group was planning to engage in illegal activities, no AS UN bylaw prohibits approval of groups that intend to engage in such activi ties. “At that point it becomes an ethi cal matter,” he said. AS UN’s bylaws state that an ad hoc group can form for one year only to address a topic of current or special interest. Ad hoc groups must be com posed of at least five students, accord ing to the bylaws. Bryan Hill, ASUN president, said he supported the bill because he doesn’t want student government “to abridge someone’s freedom of speech.” “When we look at ad hoc, we set up criteria for a group to meet, . . . intent and purpose (of the group) are not part of that decision,” Hill said. He said there is a difference be tween “what a group says they’ll do and what they actually do.” Paul Poulosky, senator for the engineering college, said he voted for the bill because he felt that judging a group’s intentions is not valid. “A student organization’s pur poses should not be required for their validity to be an organization,” Pou^. losky said. He said the group fit the require ments to qualify for ad hoc status and therefore, “it was not right to debate it on the ground of their intentions.” Kathy Shellogg, activity coordi nator for Campus Activities and Pro grams, said Bedtime for Democracy would have to submit an event regis tration to CAP and get approval from the office before holding any activi ties. CAP has the final authorization on groups’ activities, she said. Shellogg said the legality of an activity such as flag burning would have to be determined first. “We wouldn’t allow an organiza tion to have an activity that was ille gal,” she said. _ _ I THE HUSKER CENTURY - Aged To Perfection I LET'S GET PSYCHED!
