              Compliments
              and a suggestion 
              3-30-00 
              Dear
              editor and staff: 
              I
              really enjoy reading the Lincoln Daily News each day and
              look forward to new articles. I especially enjoy the articles by Joan
              Crabb. She finds the stories that are interesting and
              factual--a definite asset to the publication. 
              I
              also like the new links you have put at the bottom of each page.
              It makes navigation much easier. 
              I
              do have one suggestion: How about adding a link for each day's new
              additions (on one page) for those of us who read every day and
              don't want to wait on each new story to download on a different
              page? 
              Sincerely, 
              Amy Butler 
                
                
               
              Central
              School-- Why live in the past? 
              3-23-00 
              To
              the editor: 
              I'm
              amazed at the way some people in this town rally around a school
              that has obviously outlived its usefulness. In this day and age
              our children need to have a good education--which not only
              includes reading, writing and arithmetic but also a modern, safe
              and handicap accessible building. 
              I
              agree with a previous letter to the editor that spoke about
              schools in Europe. They keep up with the times and build the best
              schools for their children--while still keeping in touch with the
              past. 
              I
              grew up in St. Louis where it is not considered a
              "crime" to build new schools. I want the best for my
              child. Please keep Lincoln from going backwards once again. 
              We
              need to look forward to the rest of this century and give our
              children the best that they deserve. If not, our children will
              suffer, as well as this town, as people move to places that can
              provide a brighter future for our children. 
              Despite
              the fact that my place of work is here, I'm prepared to move and
              commute to Lincoln, if Lincoln can not or will not move forward
              for its children.
