Maid Shortage, Dissatisfaction
Halt Dormitory Room Service
By Nancy Hendrickson
Senior Staff Writer
Maid service in the indi
vidual rooms In the Univer
sity residence halls will be
discontinued this year, t h e
housing office has announced.
M. Edward Bryan, director
of housing, said the maid ser
vice had been cut down be
cause of a supply shortage of
maids, the high cost of p e r
sonncl and dissatisfaction of
the residents.
Until this year maids
cleaned the student rooms in
the residence halls once a
week, In addition to cleaning
the common areas halls,
bathrooms and lounges every
aay.
With the Increased number
of spaces In the residence
nans wis year, Bryan laid
that the housing office could
no longer acquire the number
of maids necessary for all the
dorms.
One-third of the mald'i
working day was spent in
Union Serves Pretzels
. . . But Still No Suds
The pretzels made by the Union pretzel machine are
"Just great for woodsies", according to Bill Williams, Ne
braska Union Food Service director.
Since the pretzel machine was purchased in June, 400
to 500 pretzels a day have been sold.
The Union's pretzels differ from conventional hard
piciicis. iiicy re son, soia nox ana must be eaten within
eight hours or they become stale.
1 The Nebraska Union buys the pretzels frozen and bakes
ithem in the machine. During the baking process, they
fare sprayed with a glaze and salt.
t "Both old and young like the pretzels," Williams said.
1 'The machine was bought during summer school and pro
lessors ate just as many as the students."
1 The pretzel business is briskest in the evening, he
Isaid. Students buy them by the dozen and take them out.
Williams suggested that the pretzels be eaten with
cheese, mustard and peanut butter.
The pretzels cost a dime apiece or a dollar a dozen,
fend may be purchased in the Crib.
Williams said that eventually the pretzels will be sold
t concession stands at football and basketball games.

cleaning the individual rooms,
he said. The housing office is
not reducing the working
force by one-third, he said,
but is giving the maids more
available time to care for the
common areas better.
The big expense of the
maid's salaries was the sec
ond reason for discontinuing
the service.
"The margins are growing
smaller and we want to stay
within the $725 room and
board rate for another year,"
Bryan stated.
Last year delegates to the
Interdorm Coordinating
Committee had discussed the
feasibility of students clean
ing their own rooms with Bry
an. On a facilities question
naire distributed to Pound,
Cather and Abel halls, t h e
majority of students wanted
to keep the maid service.
The students have a help
ful attitude," Bryan said.
Cleaning supplies are provid
ed and most of the dorms
have a drop chute for trash
on each floor.

A popular spot for relaxa
tion these days is the TV
room of the Nebraska Union.
According to Richard Scott,
Nebraska Union program
Manager, the room is used
by an average of 15 to 20 peo
ple any time in the evening.
He said that the room is used
less frequently during the day
mostly by students who
have an hour break between
classes.
Scott said that the heav'est
time of use Is probably dur
ing the Saturday afternoon
Other times of heavy use,
according to Scott, are dur
ing such events as the World
Series and spectaculars sim
ilar to the Gemini launches.
Walt Out Time
Most of the viewers in the
room during the daytime said
that they were simply wait
ing out the time between
classes.
Scott estimated the aver
age time that is spent by the
viewers in the TV room var
ies from just a few minutes
up to three hours a day.
When asked what happens
when there is a disagreement
about stations, most viewers
said that if they didn't like
the program that they would
leave or, as one person said,
"suffer through it."
Most programs, however.

The first color television set
was installed about three
years ago.
Capacity Of 50
The room seats about 25
people comfortably, with
standing room capacity of
about 50 viewers.
Some of the viewers made
the following comments :
"I watch TV in the evening
or whenever I have time dur
ing the day," said Dan Rei
enrath, an electrical engi
neering sophomore. Reifen
rath estimated he spends
about an hour a day in t h e
TV room. "It's a way to re
lax and just take it easy," he
said.
Another daily viewer, Ross
Rizley, said that television is
a waste of time. "I ' watch
about 20 minutes a day while
I wait for my ride home."
Rizley, a sophomore major
ing in philosophy, said that
he watches whatever is on,
which consists mostly of quiz
shows.
Lynn Parsons, a freshman
majoring in political science,
said that spending an hour in
the TV room is "a great way
to relax before begining the
daily homework grind."
Three Areas Approved
For Senate Committees
A new ASUN committee
structure was approved at
Wednesday's Senate meeting
According to ASUN presi
dent, Terry Schaaf, the struc
ture Is "fairly similar" to the
one followed last year. The
structure has three areas:
Senate Committees, Execu
tive Committees, nnd Coordi
nating Commissions.
Each area will have a per
son in charge of the commit
tees within it. These people
will be the first and second
vice presidents, Roger Doerr
and Bob Samuelson respec
tively, and the speaker pro
tempore, Dave Snyder.
'Close Watch'
In an interview before the
Senate meeting, Schaaf ex
plained that the people head
ing the areas will not act as
chairmen, but rather will
keep close watch on the com
mittees within their areas by
sitting in on the actual com
mittee meetings. These so
called "check point individu
als" will also maintain two
files concerning each com
mittee's activities.
"The difference between
the Senate, Executive, and
Coordinating types of com
mittee," explained Roger
Doerr, first vice president of
the Senate, "Is that only a
member of the Senate can be
a member or chairman of a
Senate Committee."
"Executive committees are
more of a 'project' type and
either a senator or outsider
can head or be a member of
the committee, although it
will usually be an outsider,"
Doerr continued.
"The coordinating commis-
ASUN Vacancies
Open To Students
Interviews for ASUN com
mittees will be held Saturday
morning from 9-12 and Sun
day afternoon from 2-5.
Any University student is
eligible for the Executive or
Coordinating Commission
committees, while only ASUN
senators are eligible for the
Senate committees.
All students interested in
being a member or chairman
of a committee, are urged to
sign up for interview at the
ASUN office, Nebraska Union
room 230, Friday.
In addition, students inter'
ested in applying for the va
cancies on the Senate, may
pick up their applications in
the ASUN office. Two senator
seats from the Graduate Col
lege, and one from Arts and
Sciences are open.

sions will be working in the
various areas of communica
tion and the chairmen and
members can be either from
the Senate or from outside of
the Senate," he added.
In addition, Schaaf ex
plained that the executive
committees would be his ca
binet committees and the co
ordinating commissions will
be made up of his appoint
ments. Structure
The committee structure,
as passed by the Senate, is
as follows: under the area of
Senate Committees are t h e
Academic Research, Tutor
ing Coordination, Public Is
sues, Student Conduct. Book
stores, and Student Welfare
Committees.
The Faculty Evaluation, Li
braries, Advisory Board Co
ordinating, Masters, Centen
nial, European Flight, Activi
ties, and Parking Committees
are grouped under the head
ing of Executive Committees.
The Coordinating Commis
sions heading contains such
committees as Public Rela
tions, Student Opinion, Asso
ciates, Legislative Laison and
Liason, Incorporation, Gov
ernmental Affairs, and Con
stitutional. One of the major changes
in the committee structure is
the addition of the Legislative
Liason and Research Com
mittee. Shcaaf explained that
this committee would make a
study on education from the
students' standpoint.
"The committee will draw
together the various loose
ends surrounding education
at the University," he said,
"and will then submit to the
legislature something con
crete showing the need for the
proposed increase in the Uni
versity's budget."
"Another goal of this com
mittee will be to strengthen
student contact with the state
senators, especially those on
the Education and Budget
committees.
Student Interest
Through this committee it
is hoped that student interest
can be stimulated towards the
legislative budget and that a
definitive report can be given
to the members of the legis
lature so that they might
show their constituents why
there is a need for an in
crease in the budget of the
University," Schaaf pointed
out.
Schaaf also discussed
changes in four former ASUN
committees, the establishment
of a new one, and the pur
poses behind the committees
and the changes.
The new committee is the
Centennial Committee, which
has been working throughout
the past summer. Its purpose
Is to find ways to promote
the University thrnntrh narti-
clpation in next year's Cen
tennial celebration
The establishment of Facul
ty Senate Liason Committee
represents another change
from the past. The goal of
this committee, according to
Schaaf, is to find a way for
students to bring problems
before the Faculty Senate. It
will work towards getting a
voice on the Faculty Senate.
"Concerned with the area of
communication," Schaaf said,
"this committee will be re
sponsible for making sure
students who are on F a c u 1 1 y
Senate committees know
iiKam thii iMnntinfTe oka TVi J o
nurii Liir i rr l i c: n i i: . i 11.1
has not always been taken
care of In the past."
The Peace Corps Commit
tee has been discontinued at
the request of the Peace
Corps. It was decided that it
would be better to organize
the committee at the time
needed rather than keeping it
for an entire year.
Student Welfare
Student Welfare, an entire
and separare area last year,
has been reduced to a single
committee.
The Student Conduct Com
mittee will consider the state
ment of student conduct
which was added to this
vear's Campus Handbook by
the administration.
"This committee will then
present its findings to t h e '
Senate," explained Schaaf,'
which will then decide wheth
er this statement of student
conduct is acceptable. It will
be at this time, if the Senate
finds it necessary, that a stu
dent Bill of Rights could pos
sibly be proposed."
