safety will also be improved by the
project, Dixon said.
All of the medians will be
expanded to help keep out-of
control cars from crossing into
oncoming traffic.
In most places, the medians
are 64 feet wide. The construc
tion will widen them to 76 feet,
Dixon said.
The Department of Roads
plans to tear up the existing
road and replace it with three
lanes of concrete, but Dixon
said they should be able to
maintain two lanes of traffic in
each direction during the con
struction, which will be com
pleted in phases.

NU Directions’ allocation to the
Lincoln Police will not increase the
amount of patrolling officers do
around student neighborhoods, said
Lincoln Police Capt. Joy Citta.
LPD sends out a party
enforcement squad about six to
10 times per year, she said.
During these times, seven to
nine officers will patrol neigh
borhoods heavily populated
with college students.
Itoo to four undercover offi
cers may also be used to send
into to parties to observe if any
illegal actions, such as selling
alcohol without a license, drug
usage or underage drinking are
occurring, she said.
Ryan McAleer, a junior phys
ical education major, said he
thought NU Directions’ effort
was a good attempt to try to
curb underage drinking.
But McAleer said students
who want to drink illegally will
drink regardless of officers’
efforts to break up parties.
McAleer said at most parties
he’s attended, many students
just leave when the gathering is
broken up, without conse
quence.
“They’ll just find another
place to drink,” he said.

FAIR from page 1
distributed free posters to the
children.
“We are here strictly for the
kids,” Blair said.
Five-year-old Curtis Pester
enjoyed being Blair's co-pilot
“They (the planes) go really
fast,” Curtis said with an excited
smile.
On the opposite end of the
fair, Bobo, the mouthy down, was
high and dry.
Bobo, a white faced and jovial
clown, was part of a game where
participants toss baseballs at a tar
get that when hit drops Bobo into
a barrel of water.
Bobo encouraged people to
play the game by taunting and
teasing them when they walked by
his booth.
A carnival worker named
Tumbleweed assisted people in
their mission to dunk Bobo.
Tumbleweed, who wouldn't
give his legal name, has been
working the fair circuit for 14
years.
His deeply tanned face and
squinted eyes reveal the years he
has spent hawking tickets to eager
fairgoers.
TUmbleweed said that he has
been all across the country work
ing at fairs.
“I love all of the traveling, the
good money and the friends,”
TUmbleweed said.
As Bobo remained dry on his
Perch, TUmbleweed confessed a
secret desire to drench Us carnival
paL
“Sometimes I just want to
walk up and pull the wire (that
dunks Bobo) myself,”
TUmbleweed said and laughed.
