to become visible soon

The parking lot north of the Ne
braska Union, now known as
Grecnspacc, is ready to turn green.
As of Friday, the lawn area was
seeded and was being watered, said
Bud Dasenbrock, director of the de
partment of landscape services. He
said the area should be green by Aug.
15.
The landscaping for the area is
basic, Dasenbrock said. The center of
the area will be covered with grass and
the perimeter will be planted with
trees and shrubs sometime this fall,
maybe even in August, weather per
mitting, he said.
Benches and artwork for the area
haven’t been decided on yet,
Dasenbrock said. The Candace Harms
memorial mienueu 10 oe oum in me
new Greenspace, is still in the fund
raising stage.
When students return for the fall
semester, the lawn will be green,
Dascnbrock said, but the grass won’t
be ready for them to sit or walk on. It
will probably be a month before the
grass is ready for any activity, he said.
“It is still juvenile grass,”
Dasenbrock said. “We have to protect
it until it is mature enough for activi
ty”
He said students would be able to
use the sidewalks, but strings and
posts might have to be put up as a
reminder to people to stay off the
grass.
The lights along the sidewalk are
ready and working, Dasenbrock said.
The extra light wil 1 enhance the safety
and beauty of the area, he said.

the farm level and calculated the so
cial costs and benefits of agricultural
research in Morocco.
“It was a personal discovery after
an absence of 23 years to go back to sec
where you were born and what has
changed,” he said.
Aside from being able to take his
wife and two children to see his home
land, Azzam said it was fulfilling to
help Moroccan farmers increase their
efficiency.
“It was a chance to operationalize
my U.S. education for the benefit of
people who have real needs that go
beyond just intellectual curiosity,”
Azzam said. “Those people arc poor.”
“There is no reason why academics
cannot go to an applied environment
like that and make a real impact on
people,” he said.
Azzam said exposure to an Amer
ican-stylc institution was a new expe
rience for a country used to French
education.
“The biggest difference in what
they have now is that it’s a hands-on
applied problem-solving center with
many U.S.-trained Ph.D.s,” he said.
Azzam said the center had become
a role model for development in Mo
rocco. He said it would help commer
cial and subsistence farmers apply the
research to improve their crops.
An integral part of the project also
rested with 50 Moroccan students who
cainc to America to receive their mas
ter’s degrees. When they finished their
studies, they began replacing the
American scientists in Morocco.
Only a few Moroccan students re
main in the United States. Most of
them have gone back to replace their
American counterparts where they will
have the chance to utilize the technol
ogy and research developed at the
center.
August 31 is the end of the Moroc
co Project, but it will hopefully not be
the end of its success. Azzam said with
the help of communication, technolo
gy contacts would be continually main
tained between the universities and
