Parking group
suggests sale
of night spots
From Staff Reports
Members of the Parking Ad
visory Committee suggested
Monday at a meeting in the East
Union that night permits even
tually will be sold to commuters
parking on campus lots after 7
p.m.
The recommendation came
after several committee mem
bers heard complaints from com
muters not able to use reserved
spots during evening hours.
The current mix of 11- and
24-hour permits in the same lot
north of the Nebraska Union is
creating a problem, Business
Manager Ray Coffey said.
“I don’t think that’s a man
ageable situation,” Coffey said.
“We’ve got to separate those
lots and sort it out.”
The committee also suggested
that 24-hour reserved parking
lots and other lots close to campus
should be enforced more strin
gently to curb illegal use of those
lots by students taking night
classes.
Other suggestions made by
the committee:
• Provide reserved parking
spaces for custodial employees,
most of whom arc women and
must walk four to five blocks on
unlit paths to their cars.
• Include in the registration I
fee for regularly scheduled night
time events a charge for public
users of UNL parking lots.
These recommendations and
a report prepared by Walker
Parking ConsultantsofMinnca
polis, a firm hired by UNL park
ing officials to make recom
mendations on improving park
ing on both campuses, will be
addressed at the committee’s
next meeting April 1.

UNL’s current comparison group
includes Illinois, Iowa State, Mary

Purdue and Wisconsin.
The average faculty salaries of the
NCHEMS peer group are closer tc
UNL’s salaries than the current peci
group, according to the study.
Although Moore said it is no sccrci
that he has not agreed with the currcn
reference group, he said no officia
changes have been made.
“It is my hope that in the future wc
can develop a reference group that wc
can all agree on,” he said.
Before an agreeable reference group
can be created, Moore said, UNL
should be contacted.
John Benson, UNL director ol
Institutional Research Planning anc
Fiscal Analysis, said contact betweer
NCHEMS and UNL would be “ver)
important” in creating a new com
parison group.
“I have some difficulties with ar
outside group determining what the
criteria ought to be ... without con
lading the university,” he said.
Moore disagreed.
“We wanted an independent poin
of view without the university’s bias
in it,” he said.
Benson said the comparison group
UNL has used for salary purpose*
should continue, but other groups mighi
be appropriate for other areas.
An area that might not be appro
priate for comparison with Americar
Association of Universities land-grani
institutions is tuition, Benson said
because 90 pjcrccnt of UNL student*
come from within Nebraska.
Information on the suitability ol
the current peer group for salary pur
px)scs was contained in a discussior
paper Benson issued to the chancel
lor’s staff in February. The paper wa*
meant to be a supporting documem

Neihardt floor ‘mom’ earns humanity award
By Adeana Left n
Staff Reporter
Treating students as if they were
her own children has earned Norma
Bosley the Sue Tidball Award for
Creative Humanity.
Bosley, a floor custodian in Neihardt
Residence Center for 18 years, said
she thinks of the women on her floors
as her family away from home.
“Some of the girls treat me like
I’m just another mom,” she said.
In the mornings, the women con
sult with Bosley to find out what the
weather is like and she’ll tell them if
they need to wear their heavy coats.
She said that in the past, several
students have come to her with prob
lems, but she would not betray their
confidentiality to cite any specific
examples.
Also, Bosley said, she gets excited
when the women get engaged or even
just get a letter from a boyfriend and
want to talk about it.
“I’m just feel happy for them and
they treat me so nice, too,” she said.
Bosley said one of the nicest
compliments she had was from one of
“her girls” who commented on how
nice and clean the bathroom smelled.
“If it was my son or daughter liv
ing there; I would want them to have
a clean bathroom,” she said.
Bosley admits she gets attached to
some of the students and misses them
when they leave.
But, she said, often they come
back to visit. And although she may
not always remember a name, she’ll
remember the face.
Bosley and Emilia Juarez, a senior
• in the College of Arts and Sciences,
received the Tidball Award for Crea
tive Humanity Sunday night.
The award is presented to people
IIM
Norma Bosley
displaying extra effort in their work
with caring and creativity.
Bosley said she was proud on behalf
of the entire custodial staff to receive
the award, and she thanked “her girls”

Robin Trimarchi/Daily Nebraskan
for nominating her.
“I guess it’s one of the nicest things
that’s happened to me in my life,” she
said.
