Lincoln’s lights decorate downtown
By Dionne Searcey
Senior Reporter
Students at the University of Ne
braska-Lincoln will have to rely on
nature to provide campus Christmas
decorations, a landscaper said.
Bud Dasenbrock, UNL director of
Landscape Services, said snow and
evergreen trees were the only outdoor
decorations students had seen on cam
pus fbr several years. Officials have
no plans to deck the campus with
strings of lights or other Christmas
decor.
About five years ago, he said, land
scapers tried decorating Love Library
and part of East Campus with giant
presents wrapped in bows.
“I think they got swiped,”
Dasenbrock said.
Officials have not decorated since.
Dasenbrock said the uni versity did
not have money in a budget to fund
decorations.
And, besides, he said, most stu
dents leave campus more than a week
before Christmas and wouldn’t have a
chance to see the lights for long.
“We would have a decorated cam
pus without students here,” he said.
“It doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do
something sometime. I suppose if
somebody has some ideas we could
afford, we would do them.”
The downtown area, on the other
hand, has made decorations afford
able by soliciting donations for its
holiday light project.
Kay Davis, Downtown Lincoln
Association executive administrator,
said the $250,000 worth of decora
tions strung downtown were mostly
gifts from local corporations and cit

The association has received
$ 180,000 so far that will go toward the
project, she said, and it is asking for
more donations to pay for the entire
project.
The 23,000 feet of wire for 1 ights is
strung along roof lines of O and 13 th
streets and in the Historic Haymarket
District.
The electric bill for 25 feet of the
lights tallies to $1.23 for 30 days,
Davis said. Each business pays for its
own electric bill.
The DLA plans to add even more
lights next year, she said.
Mayor Mike Johanns on Friday
threw the switch that empowered the
20,000 lights and other displays.
Tours of the lights will be offered
at 7 p.m. Wednesday by StarTran.
The buses will leave from 11 th and O
streets on the east side of Gold’s Gal
leria. They will tour downtown and
residential areas. Fare is one can of
food and reservations are required.
The lights, tours and other holiday
events are contributing to the growing
sense of community shared in Lin
coln, Davis said.
“I think the attitude in the last year
has turned 180 degrees from what it
was,” she said. “Everybody is looking
much more toward the future and
planning for it.”

Parking policy move may relieve Area 3 crunch, official says
From Staff Reports
Area 3 parking permit holders soon
hopefully will have fewer parking
headaches, said Tad McDowell, UNL
parking services manager.
The Parking Advisory Board re
cently approved ASUN President
Keith Benes’ proposal to allow stu
I
dents with Area 3 permits to park
legally in the northeast corner of the
Area 20 commuters’ lot. This lot is
west of the Harper-Schramm-Smith
residence halls at 14th Street and Avery
Avenue.
McDowell said University of Ne
braska-Lincoln students with Area 3
parking permits had received many
parking tickets lately from university
police. The lot has few parking spots,
and permit holders who couldn’t find
a spot would park illegally, he said.
Commuter permit holders dis
placed by the change can use the Area
21 lot south of the Beadle Center at
19th and S streets.

Raises

The raises for the four staff mem
bers were related to mounting respon
sibilities and job assignments, several
officials have said.
Hibner said her new position had
several additional interdepartmental
responsibilities.
Her position and others were rede
fined partly because of the fusion of
the men’s and women’s athletic de
partments, Hibner said.
Hibner said she supervised both
male and female athletes in her new
position, as well as dealt with the

My Job of old is pretty
well gone. I now have
responsibilities
across the depart
ment.

NCAA and other interdepartmental
tasks.
“Myjobofold is pretty well gone,”
Hibner said. “I now have responsibil
ities across the department.”
