Neihardt residents get air conditioning
Oldest residence hall
finally gets cooled off
By Katie Schwalm

Into every nook of Neihardt Hall, a
little cold air now will flow.
The oldest residence hall on the’
the University of Nebraska-Lincoln
campus should become fully air-coh
ditioned today.
Air conditioning in the Heppner
section was turned on Thursday after
noon, and air conditioning in the
Love section may be turned On today,
said Mike Leupold, Cather-Pound
Neihardt maintenance manager. Air
conditioning in the Raymond section
was turned on last week.
“It’s cooling down the rooms and
the building, too,” Leupold said:
Only rooms of the student assis
tants will not be hooked up to the
chilled water lines used for air condi
tioning. Those rooms have window
air conditioners and may be brought
on line next summer.
Brooke Hubbard, a freshman civil
engineering major, is hoping the new
air conditioning will mean her un
bearable nights soon will come to an
end.
Hubbard-has been living in her
Heppner room since last Thursday
and said the two fans in her room
hadn’t been turned off yet.
“.I came on Tuesday, but since it
was so hot and my roommate wasn’t
here yet, I decided to go home and
come back on Thursday," Hubbard
said. ‘‘The air at home had broken
down the week before I came to school,
so it wasn’t much better there.
“It really hasn’t been as bad.as I
thought it would be. Some days it
really helps you sleep because you
don’t want to do anything else.”
Christine Aita, a freshman pre
medicine major, spent her fust two
nights in the Raymond section, sleep
ing in an air-conditioned TV lounge.
“It was really uncomfortable be
cause we all had to sleep on the floor,”
Aita said. “We had about eight other
girls from our floor sleeping in there.”

Students in David Hibler’s
English 254 classes will use

Hibler said the class would
continue to stress the same ele

past 25 years of teaching En

Personal expression, strong
dialogue between the students
and publication of works will
still be the main goals,” Hibler
said. The use of the web will
simply enhance each element,
he said. -
Publication of students’
works will be most affected by
the introduction of the web. The
students’ works from the class
will be published on the web,
which anyone with a keyboard
and knowledge of the system
will be able to access, Hibler
said.
“I currently see a division
between sites on the web. Some'
sites are beautiful with little
substance, while others have
high intellect content with no
style,” I-fibler said. {
' “If we can develop a profes
sional style so hot and hip it is
noticed by the big names on the
web, along with material ofhigh
intellect, we have a possible
audience of millions.”
Students also will be able to
‘ receive feedback from readers
. of their work around the world
as well as from their own class
mates. "
‘ Students will have anony
mous e-mail addresses to which
comments about their published
materials can be sent.
