Rock ’N Roll Runza to open downtown
By David Burchell
Staff Reporter
Goodbye, Eagles; hello, Rock ’ N
Roll Runza!
Lincoln Mayor Bill Harris, along
with the president of Runza National
Inc., announced plans Wednesday for
a Runza restaurant on the northwest
comer of 14th and P streets.
Donald Evercu^Runza’s president
and chief executive officer, said the
Runza will occupy what is currently
the Eagles building.
The restaurant will carry a ’40s
and ’50s theme, he said.
“It will feature an expanded menu
with sit-down service,” Harris said.
Everett said that in addition to the
standard Runza menu, there will be
home-style dishes such as home-baked
pics and mcatloaf available.
Other ’50s features of the restau
rant will be a soda fountain, a bakery
and possibly waitresses on roller skates,
he said.
Everett said he has been working
to develop a downtown Runza loca
tion for a couple of years to serve
potential UNL customers.
In a past poll of UNL students,
Everett said, Runza was named the
restaurant most wanted on campus.
The lack of a drive-thru possibility
kept Runza out of the Nebraska Un
ion, he said.
The restaurant, he said, will be on
the “middle level” of the Eagles build
ing. About $1.3 million will be in
vested in the restaurant, he said.
The Runza drive-thru should be
open by the beginning of next year,
Everett said, with the entire Rock ’ N
Roll Runza estimated to be finished
in March.

work space has displaced about 30
graduate students. The students are
conducting crop physiology research
instead of work that would be done in
the greenhouses, he said.
Anne Vidavcr, head of the plant
pathology department, said the de
partment’s research is limited because
of the construction, but said she is
pleased with the progress.
If construction on the first green
houses is on time, “we’ll be able to
breathe a lot easier,” Vidavcr said.
The biggest concern is moving
plants for virus and fungi research
into covered greenhouses because they
“will not be happy below freezing,”
Vidavcr said.
Paul Read, head of the horticulture
department, said freezing tempera
tures have put turf grass breeding and
dry edible bean research into a “gray
area.”
Students’ thesis work also may run
into deadline problems if the space
required for potted plants cannot be
found soon, he said.
But Read said the current delays
are "more of a nuisance than a signifi
cant delay to our research.’
Moeller said if the first four green
houses are completed on schedule
Monday, some priority projects will
be moved back into the greenhouses.
The contractors plan to complete
one greenhouse every other day, which
would enable researchers to spread
out farther, Moeller said.
“A lot depends on the weather. II
the weather holds, the contractor should
be able to crank them right out,” he
said.
Johnson said because the adhesive
used in the installation of the glass
roofs requires temperatures near 40
degrees, the roofs will be completed
first.
Once finished, the greenhouses will
have better light transmission, more
humidity and temperature controls
and lower energy costs, Moeller said.
A new computerized climate con
trol system will allow more efficient
use of energy and create less work for
greenhouse personnel, he said.
Two other greenhouse renovation
projects arc four temporary wheat
breeding greenhouses on East Cam
pus and three biological sciences
greenhouses cast of Oldfather Hall,
Moeller said.
The temporary wheat breeding
greenhouses will be destroyed, with
30 feel, or 8,180 square feet, added to
each existing greenhouse, he said.
The NTI Board of Regents approved
the $1.9 million replacement project
for the wheat breeding greenhouses
in September, Moeller said. The
Nebraska Legislature is expected to
act on the proposal in 1991, he said.
The biological sciences green
houses by Oldfather Hall will be
removed and reconstructed at a site
yet to be determined, he said.
The new biological sciences green
houses will have 12,000 square feet
and have office space of6,000 square
feet, he said. They are estimated to
cost $3.3 million, he said, which has
been approved by the regents.
Athletes

against individual athletes and can
fine institutions, Papik said. These
actions could be a serious disruption
to athletic departments, he said.
The federal bill could be more
encompassing than Nebraska’s LB397,
Papik said.
Chambers disagreed, saying the
state law is not weak.
“There arc teeth in this legisla
tion,’’ he said.
Richard Wood, NU vice president
and general counsel, said a federal
law would be supreme and have more
impact than LB397.
Bob Devancy, NU athletic direc
tor, said he is against the bill because
due process would delay the opera
tion of the NCAA and the work of
everyone who is a part of it.
No association is more capable of
handling athletic affairs than the
NCAA, Devancy said. All cases must
be reviewed by the NCAA before
punishment of a university is accepted,
he said.
Devancy said he doesn’t think cases
should be taken to trial.
“It would be an additional expense,
and we are trying to cut down on
expenses,” he said.
Papik said money to finance a legal
counsel and trial, if needed, would
have to come from an emergency
fund. The department of athletics
normally doesn’t allot money in the
budget for a legal counsel, he said.
“Any lime an expenditure is not in
the budget, we have to be concerned,”
he said.
