good sense of how a university oper
ates and what the challenges it faces
are, have good academic qualities,
good references, and demonstrate a
commitment to diversity in very tan
gible ways.”
All finalists are involved in uni
versity administration, Perlman said.
He said committee members went
to great lengths to assure themselves
that all of the candidates were sensi
tive to all three missions of the uni
versity — research, teaching and serv
ice as a land-grant institution.
Massengale is expected to decide
within the next two to three weeks
which of the finalists to ask to campus
for interviews and meetings with stu
dents, faculty members and adminis
trators.
“Dr. Massengale is as sensitive as
any of us to Ihe need to proceed
quickly,” Perlman said. “He men
tioned the two-three week time pe
riod (to decide who to interview), and
that seems sensible,” Perlman said.
Asked if the committee expected
Massengale to interview all five fi
nalists, Perlman said, “It is silly to go
through the motions if he does not
want to consider one candidate for
one reason or another.”
Perlman said the committee ar
rived at the list of five after reviewing
239 names.
Of those 239, he said, 47 were
women and 16 were recognizable racial
minorities. Sixty-two of the 239 al
lowed the committee to proceed with
their candidacies. Of those 62, four
were women and four were racial
minorities.
Perlman said the search was con
ducted without outside interference.
“The committee has acted inde
pendently. We’ve had no communi
cation from within the university, from
Massengale, the Board of Regents, or
anybody,” he said.
The search committee also avoided
the high costs associated with the
presidential search.
“If the cost goes past $3,000, I’d
be surprised,” Perlman said.
He said he was pleased with the
work of the committee.
“We were a very collegial group.
We debated some serious issues. People
spoke strongly on several candidates.”

John Goebel, UNL interim chancellor, looks on as Mayor Mike Johanns dedicates a proposed
golf course to be located at N.W. 12th Street and Fletcher Avenue. The course will use a hybrid

Golf course to use UNL-made gras a
By Chas Baylor
Staff Reporter
Gathered by a wheat field on the
edge of town Wednesday, city and
university officials looked toward
greener pastures on an 18-hole golf
course at the site.
The course, at N.W. 12th Street
and Fletcher Avenue, will use an
ecologically-sound hybrid of buffalo
grass developed by the UNL Horti
culture Department.
The city will build the course, the
cost of which is unknown at this point,
said Robert Wright, assistant super
intendent of planning and construc
tion for the Lincoln Department of
Parks and Recreation. The course’s
cost is expected to be paid for mostly
through golf fees.
The course is to be completed in
the summer of 1993. Construction
will start by spring 1992.
Grass researchers were excited to
use the hybrid buffalo grass’s on the
course.
David Doguet, a Texas consultant
who markets turf grasses, said the
course will mark the^first time the
hybrid developed by the UNL Horti
culture Department will have been
used. The hybrid is called 609 Oasis.
The hybrid, Doguet said, is supe
rior to other buffalo grasses because it
is greener and has a smoother texture.
Buffalo grasses, which are native
Nebraska, are known to require le
water and fewer chemicals and fert
izcr than traditional Kentucky blu
grass. Doguet said they take root fas
so arc better al fighting erosion.
“All these qualities arc what pco
have been asking for. And I th
we’re going to answer them.
