Law 8c Order
Campus watch in final stages
By Angie Schendt
Staff Reporter
Campus watch, a program much
like Neighborhood Watch, is in its
final stages before being implemented
at UNL this semester.
Graduate student Boon Lee Lim is
organizing the watch. Lim said the
only difference between campus
watch and neighborhood watch was
that no patrolling would take place
on campus.
“We don’t want to make the patrol
a target of attacks,” Lim said.
The idea for the watch came about
last year after Boon Chung Ong, a
student from Malaysia, was beaten at
Broyhill Fountain, Lim said. Lim
said he researched several campuses
that have similar programs, like Mis
sissippi State University, to see what
worked.
Campus watch will work with the
UNL Escort Service and other safety
groups, such as the community ser
vice officers, to patrol the areas around
greek houses and residence halls. Lim
said it also would be a joint effort
between faculty and students.
“If everyone helps and looks out
for each other, then maybe people
will be more reluctant to break the
law,” Lim said.
Lim is Working with the UNL
Police Department on the project. He
said everybody at the university would
easily be able to find a contact at the
police department.
Signs will be posted, and bro
chures will be distributed around cam
pus with information about who to
contact and how.
University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Police Chief Ken Cauble said extra
eyes and open communication with
the police had never caused prob
lems. “
“I have always thought that this
was a good idea,” Cauble said.
But with new students starting
school and others leaving every year,
programs like crime watch are some
times hard to keep running, he said.
Interested students are encouraged
to go to the ASUN offices or the
Office for Student Involvement and
leave their names and phone num
bers so they can be contacted, Lim
said.
Citizen patrol
begins ticketing
By Catherine Blalock
Staff Reporter
On Monday a new volunteer pro
gram began ticketing cars parked il
legally in stalls reserved for handi
capped people.
Lincoln Police Capt. Doug
Ahlberg said 14 volunteers, super
vised by the Lincoln Police Depart
ment, took to the parking lots after
several months of training. The vol
unteers are not assigned specific hours
or areas to patrol, but Ahlberg said
they are required to patrol two hours
a day.
Each time volunteers patrol, he
said, they must check in with police
every hour to let the department know
where they will be patrolling and that
they are all rig^it.
Ahlberg said having volunteers
check in frequently assured that they
would not be writing tickets while in
a lot for reasons other than patrolling.
When volunteers have completed
their patrolling for the day, they must
go to the police department, turn in
copies of the tickets they issued and
check out.
Volunteers are also issued cel lular
phones equipped to ball the police
department and 911 to make check
ing in easier and to help in emergency

Before they began ticketing,
Ahlberg said, volunteers worked to
educate local businesses about the
type and number of handicapped
parking signs they were required to
have under the Americans with Dis
abilities Act.
Violators are fined $100 on first
offense, and the fine increases $100
for each violation thereafter during
the same year.
Volunteers said they got involved
in the program for many different
reasons.
“I have lived here practically all

UNL gets funding for math, sciences
Projects aim to
improveteaching
in K-12 schools
By Tanna Kinnaman
Staff Reporter
The University of Nebraska-Lin
coln was awarded more than $300,000
to fund four projects designed to im
prove mathematics and science edu
cation in Nebraska’s elementary and
secondary schools.
The projects will provide training
workshops this summer for kinder
garten through 12th grade mathemat
ics and science teachers.
The projects are funded by the
Dwight D. Eisenhower Mathematics
and Science Education program. The
Coordinating Commission for
Postsecondary Education is in charge
of handing out the grants.
Nebraska’s Operation Chemistry,
a two-week training program that
focuses on the importance of chemis
try in people’s lives, received a
$53,000 grant, Paul B. Kelter, asso
ciate professor of chemistry at UNL,
said.
“Chemistry is not like a colos
tomy cm" dumping castor oil down
people’s throats,” said Kelter, the
head instructor for Operation Chem
istry.
“Participants learn the relation
ship between chemistry and the envi
ronment, industry, energy, food, plas
tics, life and the body,” he said. “The
teachers do, think and love chemistry
all day for two weeks.”
Enthusiasm for the sciences among
teachers and students has increased
measurably since the program began
last year, Kelter said. About 50 teach
ers attended last year’s workshop.
Kelter said 70 to 80 teachers would
attend the workshop this year.
Using Environmental Investiga
tions to Interest 9- to 12-year-old
Girls in Science, a program run in
collaboration with the National Ar
bor Day Foundation at Nebraska City,
received a $44,100 grant.
“Studies have shown that girls are
even with boys in their interest in
science until about age 9,” Michelle
Scribner, educational assistant for the
National Arbor Day Foundation, said.
The goal of the two-week pro
gram is to train teachers to get and
keep girls interested in science
through their high school years and
into college, Scribner said.
Teachers learn about geology,
physics, ecology, plant pathology and
botanical biology the first week of
the program, Scribner said.
The second week coincides with
Discovery Camps for 9- to 12-year
old girls at the Arbor Day Founda
tion. The teachers get hands-on expe
rience working with the girls and
applying their new skills.
Thinking and Doing Physics: An
Institute for Crossover Physics Teach
ers in Small Schools is a new project
that received $63,315.
The program’s goal is to train high
school teachers from Class C and D
schools to incorporate physics into
their classrooms. The participants will
have hands-on experience using in
teractive video-disc vignettes, dem
onstrations and laboratory experi
ments that can be used in their indi
vidual classrooms. The one-week
program will be held in Kearney.
Elementary Quantitative Literacy:
Exploring Data Workshop, another
new project, received a $50,884 grant.
Kathleen Fimple, Eisenhower
grant coordinator for the Coordinat
ing Commission for Postsecondary
Education, said the one-week pro
gram showed teachers ways to incor
porate statistics into their classrooms
by using real-life activities in work
ing with data.
The workshop will be held in Lin
coln and Oshkosh. The workshop in
Oshkosh will be offered to teachers
from 18 rural schools within 50 miles
of Oshkosh, Fimple said.
QVC looking for down-home goodies
From Staff Reports
The deadline for submitting Ne
braska-made products for sale on the

Products submitted so far range
from homemade dolls to food prod

QVC announced its “50 in 50”
tour last fall. The tour will feature
products from all 50 states.
The company plans to telecast live

will show video clips of Nebraska
tourism, people and culture as well as
offering Nebraska products for sale.
