New map could simplify parking
By Brian Sharp
Staff Reporter
The new parking handbook may
soon be mapped out.
At the Parking Advisory Commit
tee’s monthly meeting Thursday, Park
ing Manager Tad McDowell said he
was developing a plan that would
place campus parking information on
one map.
Currently, UNL uses a parking
handbook. The map idea was tried a
few years ago, he said, but after many
complaints the handbook returned.
When the old map was unfolded,
the type went in all directions, he said,
making it difficult to read.
The new proposal would el iminate
that problem, placing the entire hand
book on the back of the map, he said.
Maps would be enlarged, he said, and
important laws highlighted.
“There’s a lot of things that are
hidden in that handbook unless you
just sit down and read the whole thing,”
he said. “I would like to make it as easy
to read as possible.”
Dean Waddel,chairmanofthc com
mittee, said emphasizing specific
points should “make it easier to wade
your way through.
“If (map users) get no further than
that, then at least they’ll have a basic
sense of parking rules and regula
tions.”
Other comm ittee members suggest
ed including bus-route schedules and
stops. McDowell said any additions
that would make the map more useful
only furthered its purpose.
“1 think our objective is to try and
educate the students so that they don’ t
get all these tickets,” he said. “My
office isn’t there just to take their
money.”
McDowell said he eventually want
ed to develop a handicap-accessible
map, showing where proper stalls and
building entrances were.
The committee also heard concerns
about the bicycle dismount-zone pro
posal, but Waddcl said no decision
would be made for a while.
Mike Cacak, transportation man
ager, presented a package of parking
lot improvements, totaling $575,000.
There was not enough money in bond
surplus, he said, to cover that amount.
Priority was given to the student lot
east of Abel-Sandoz Halls, and the
committee will decide on recommen
dations at a future meeting.

said. After an investigation, the pen
alty would fit the violation.
For example, a proven sexual as
sault would result in immediate termi
nation and a criminal investigation,
he said.
Although staff members rarely have
abused student relationships sexually
or romantically in the past, he said,
the statement would encourage them
not to do it in the future.
“I don’t think we have had many
problems here,” he said. “Let’s try to ^
keep it that way.”

tenant, he encountered even more
animosity.
“With the segregation going on at
that time, a black man going around
with wings, a lieutenant, walking
down the street in Chicago or any
where was great for us,” he said.
“I was walking down the street in
South Carolina with wings, and I was
really cool walking there with my
little girlfriend, and I was taken in for
impersonating an officer,” he laughed.
Adams took a more serious tone
when he said blacks ran into opposi
tion when trying to give their lives for
the war efforts.
“We said we want our blood in the
war,” he said.
Adams left the UNL cadets with a
final message.
“If you want, you can make it," he
said. “There was a time when 1 couldn’t
stand and talk to you right now.”
Adams said anger and frustration
had continued to follow him even after
serving his country for so many years,
because he still saw discrimination
today.
“There are four squadrons of KJans
right here in Lincoln,” he said.
He said the fight to stop discrimi
nation in the military also must con
tinue.
“1 see that discrimination is trying

to come back. Unless we make a def
inite effort to curb it, we’ll be in
serious trouble,” he said.
Adams said he had noticed a recent
decline of blacks in the military.
“There arc fewer black officers at
SAC (Strategic Air Command) than
there were before,” he said.
Adams said although there were
blacks in high positions such as Gen.
Colin Powell, ne said they were just
tokens.
“They say, ‘We’ve got your token
ism and power, what else do you
want?’” he said.
After he retired in 1962, Adams
went on to pursue a teaching career.
He taught at Lincoln High School for
19 years until retiring in 1983.
Adams said teaching and educa
tion were the best ways to fight dis
crimination. He focused on getting
high school dropouts back in school.
“We need education to end segre
gation and discrimination on both
sides,” Adams said.
