Frozen ground stalls new meters
By Melanie Brandert
Senior Editor
For students who try to park in
metered spaces on East Campus to
avoid walking long distances to class
in the bitter cold, the wait for more
meters isover.
Well, almost.
Although the addition of 30 meters
has been approved, they will not be
installed until early March.
Don Hinds, operations manager for
the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s
Landscape Services, said the depart
ment was waiting for warmer weather,
so they could install the meters. It is
not feasible for Landscape Services to
do it now because the ground is fro
zen, he said.
“The frost (below ground) could
be as deep as 12 to 18 inches,” Hinds
said. “It’s a lot more labor-intensive,'
and you have to work in the cold.”
He said the department had planned
to install meters after Christmas break,
but the cold weather prevented it from
doing so.
“All of a sudden, it turned cold,”
Hinds said. “Our high priority (now)
is snow removal on campus.”
In November, the Parking Advi
“The frost (below

It's a lot more labor
intensive, and you have

sory Committee approved the addi
tion of 10 meters at the north end of an
Area 20 lot east of Keim and Plant
Science halls and 20 meters in the
northwest corner of an Area 6 lot west
of the Activities Building.
Parking Manager Tad McDowell
presented the proposed locations to
the committee.
The senate recommended the addi
tion of meters at the committee’s Oc
tober meeting.
Shawntell Hurtgen, president ofthe
Association of Students of the Uni
versity of Nebraska, said many stu
dents on East Campus, not only those
who had classes there, expressed a
concern over inadequate meter park
ing.
“It was a concern for students vis
iting over on East Campus who
couldn’t find a place to park/’ Hurtgen
said. “We took that concern and tried
to make it easier for students over
there.”
McDowell said he thought the in
crease of meters would give students
more parking options.
“It will give those people who are
on East Campus a chance to utilize
meter parking besides commuter park
ing,” he said.
Hurtgen said the senate would wait
until it received positive feedback on
the meters before members would pro
pose adding more of them.
“When you make big improve
ments like we have, you have to
examine if it is making a differ
ence,” she said. “We still have two
months to work with Tad McDowell
and see if there are any changes that
need to be made.”
McDowell said there were no other
plans to install more meters on either
campus at this time.
Updated library system
makes renewals easier
By Heidi White
Staff Reporter
Hie University of Nebraska-Lin
coln libraries system is adding a
program to the IRIS system to al
low renewal of library materials
from HuskerNet.
Deb Pearson, head of circula
tion for Love Library, said she
hoped the system would be used by
people who normally would have
called to renew their library materi
als.
“They can do it themselves from
any IRIS terminal or wherever they
can get into IRIS from,” Pearson
said.
UNL introduced the program at
the beginning of this semester after
the library’s software had been up
dated. There was no additional cost
for the upgrade.
“We added it to provide another
service to people to use the librar
ies,” Pearson said.
To use the system, card holders
should select “V> VIEW/Renew
Your Own Circulation Record”
from the main menu of IRIS. They
should then enter their names, along
with the bar code number from their
UNL identification card or IRIS
user’s card.
Materials that are excessively
overdue, being recalled or have
fines exceeding $10 cannot be re
newed.
Materials renewal was previ
ously available on the Gopher sys
tem, Pearson said, but was hard to
find and not easy to use.

plenishing them. We would like to
see more businesses act in the same
responsible manner.”
Preister said that being a state
senator and working for the card
company were somewhat similar.
“Whether it is creating policy or
educating people, it’s all about cre
ating a better quality of life for all of
us.”
Preister said the cards had been
received all across the state — in
cluding by his fellow state senators.
“They like to send cards that
represent the state,” he said. “We
provide a real good opportunity for
them to do that.
“We are grateful to the retail
outlets and the public for sharing in
our vision.”
The greeting card business has
opened many windows, for him,
into the world of an artist, Preister
said.
“This business has given me the
opportunity to meet some of the
artists and visit all parts of the state.
I appreciate more artvjprk now,” he
said.
The cards are available at many
area bookstores and card shops.

braska athletics.
“I love football and basketball,”he
said. “I’ve developed a good appre
ciation and love for women’s volley
ball and basketball.”
Although Jones is just beginning
his stay in Nebraska, he said he didn’t
plan to leave in the future.
“I plan to make my life here,” Jones
said. “I plan to become a Nebraska
native.”

Dear Husker Fan:
For the second year in a row, I am proud to say that our Nebraska Huskers were voted
the best team in the nation. I hope that our victory over the University of Florida in the

Our 1995 team was simply tremendous. Names that will not soon be forgotten
include Benning, Ellis, Green, Graham, Makovicka, Peter, Veland,
Tomich, Wistrom, Williams and, of course: Tommie Frazier. Tommie rose \
to every challenge and overcame every obstacle en route to our second
consecutive national championship.

season and trip to the Fiesta Bowl has been recorded in words and pictures
