he had friends living and attending
school there.
As of Tuesday night, he said he
had not been able to get through
because of damaged phone lines.
“It’s terrible,” he said. “A lot of
people have died.”
Hayashizaki said he was worried
about his friends and would keep
trying to get through.
Chiho Inamasu, who is from To
kyo, said she had not tried to call her
family yet. She said she was sure they
were safe, but would be calling late
Tuesday or tonight.
Inamasu said she also had friends
in Kobe but had not been able to
contact them.
Miki Takahashi, whose family
lives in Tokyo where the quake was
barely felt, said she had not contacted
her family yet and was not worried
that her family might have been hurt
in the quake. But when the first news
came, she said she was scared.
“I saw the pictures of crashed build
ings and I thought it was Tokyo,” she
said.
When Takahashi and Inamasu
learned that the quake had hit Kobe,
they said they were relieved.
“But at the same time I thought
that next it would be Tokyo and my
family will die,” Takahashi said.
Both Takahashi and Inamasu said
they were worried because a large
earthquake hit the capitol city about
every 70 years.
Takahashi said that fact brought
one thing to mind.
“I thought, ‘I have to get back to
Japan.’”

NETV
Continued from Page 1
NET is caught in a Catch-22.
If the cuts are made, Hull said, the
network would have to turn to private
individuals and foundations for sup
port. However, he said, without
prime-time programs, it would be
difficult to attract private donors.
“This is the most serious situation
the Corporation for Public Broad
casting has ever faced,” Hull said.
NET, a non-profit organization,
relies on government funding instead
of commercials, Hull said, and its
minimal corporate sponsorships are
diminishing.
“People should support PBS be
cause in this republic there should be
one television and radio service for
the American people that is not driven
by profit,” he said.
Non-commercial, non-profit pro
gramming allows creators to take an
idea that has merit and bring it to the
audience, Hull said.
“I’d like to quote JFK, who said
we’re not going to be remembered in
1,000 years for the wars we fought or
the battles we won,” Hull said. “It’s
what we did for the human spirit.
“If they take away this funding
and spend it on defense, then we’ve
all been betrayed.”
Hull said the issue involved more
ideology than money. The new Re
publicans in Congress want to cut
funding for CPB, the National En
dowment for the Arts and the Na
tional Endowment for the Humani
ties — all of which are viewed as
liberal organizations, Hull said.
“If they cut funding here, they can
go to the American people and say,
‘We’ve downsized the government,’”
Hull said. “They’ve cut all these or
ganizations that have been seen as
providing a liberal bias and can sat
isfy their constituents this way.”
Hull said he was in favor of neces
sary cuts, but that they should be
across-the-board and not targeted at a
few agencies.
All hope is not lost, however. If
the federal government cuts funding,
Hull said, the network could turn to
the state.
U.S. Reps. Bill Barrett and Doug
Bereuter and U.S. Sens. Bob Kerrey
and James Exon traditionally have
been supportive of NET, Hull said.
Support at the state level, he said,
has a lot to do with being tied to the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
“We’re tempered by this great lib
eral arts institution,” he said. “We’re
very fortunate to be tied to UNL.”
Clinic

“We are concerned with its effect
on the neighborhood,” Dominic Pynes
said. “This is not a business we need
in Lincoln.”
Mary Kay Pynes said that since
they distributed the letter, they had
received responses in support.
“People are concerned with vio
lence both in the clinic and outside of
it, such as protests,” she said.
Dominic Pynes said neighbors
were concerned about their children
playing near the site. About 25 chil
dren live on the street near that loca
tion, he said.
That area also has a golf course,
basketball courts and a Dairy Queen
that children and their families use
often, he said.
Mary Kay Pynes said they would
continue to oppose the new site, and
would start a petition to stop the
abortion clinic from being built.
Pam Tabor, president of Lincoln
Right to Life, said the creation of an
abortion clinic would have no place
in Lincoln.
“Lincoln is a family town, and
many people don’t want it,” Tabor
said. “I don’t think women in Lincoln
would use it.”
Tabor said she did not oppose the
addition of a second Planned Parent
hood site, only the abortion service.
To show its opposition to the site,
Tabor said Lincoln Right to Life sent
a letter in December to contractors.
The purpose of the letter was to in
form the contractor that Planned Par
enthood would have an abortion clinic
at the sight.
Tabor said that although Lincoln
Right to Life had no immediate plans,
it would do more in the future to show
its opposition.
Peers now will decide
studentoarkingaooeals
By Brian Sharp
Senior Reporter
and Chad Lorenz
Staff Reporter
Students will be treated more fairly
when appealing parking citations
starting Thursday, a UNL parking
administrator said Tuesday.
Tad McDowell, manager of park
■ mg services, said
" the current ap
< peals board
would split into
■ separate student
and faculty ap
peals boards. The
nine-member
student board was appointed by the
student government, he said.
Two faculty groups will head up a
separate faculty appeals board, along
'with an at-large faculty representa
tive, he said.
“It will do away with the fairness
issues and should make students
happy,” McDowell said.
Andrew Loudon, student govern
ment president, said a number of
complaints had been voiced against
the old appeals board.
A unanimous vote is needed to
grant an appeal, he said, and such
votes were often blocked by faculty.
But an all-student board doesn’t mean
all appeals will be granted, he said.
“We would never in our wildest
dreams lobby for something like this,”
Loudon said. “I never thought the
administration would be this kind.”
Paul Carlson, interim vice chan
cellor for business and finance, said
the appeals committee change was a
natural solution.
The parking appeals committee
answers to Carlson, and McDowell
said his office would also monitor
appeals.
Both faculty and students were on
past appeals boards, Carlson said, but
V_^ JL JL
getting enough faculty to sit through
two and three-hour hearings was dif
ficult.
. With most appeals coming from
students, he said, the committee fig
ured splitting the responsibility would
be more time efficient.
At the student training session
Tuesday, McDowell said he had
doubts at first whether an all-student
board could work.
Vi Schroeder, acting assistant vice
chancellor for business and affairs,
was at the parking advisory commit
tee meeting. She said the change was
temporary and experimental. If it
works well, the process would be
formalized, she said.
“By jumping into it and allowing
it, we can see how well it works,”
Schroeder said.
The change was approached dif
ferently, she said, because it would
be enacted so quickly. She said it was
different from most university ac
tions that were researched and con
sidered for so long.
“We might get into trouble for it,
but it’s a novel idea,” she said.
A member from parking services
will continue to serve as an adviser to
the boards, but will not be a voting
member.
At its meeting, the Parking Advi
sory Committee approved plans to
pave at least one gravel lot this sum
mer. The lot on Vine Street between
18th and 19th streets will be paved in
May.
The committee had discussed pav
ing other gravel lots at 10th and V
streets and 21 st and Vine streets. The
university couldn’t improve those lots
because they are city property.
The committee also discussed fees
for motorcycle parking. McDowell
said a motorcycle permit would prob
ably sell for half the cost of a car
permit. The committee will vote on a
solid proposal at the March meeting.
