Dorms continue
to fill despite
rent increase
Housing on campus is
adequate while there is an
adequate market foi students
seeking housing off-campus,
according to newly appointed
Housing Director Eli
Myerson.
Myerson revealed that as
of Monday when school
started the women's
dormitories were full and
there were only 100 to 115
Vacancies in the men's
dormitories. Myerson served
in the Housing Office at the
University of Wisconsin
before succeeding Edward
Bryan as University Housing
Director.
The new director indicated
that he has not received any
complaints concerning the
$10 a month rent increase for
dormitories. He said "the
Increased rates wre put in
effect because of increased
costs." Rising costs of labor
and food were the main
reasons why the dormitory
rates were raised. He said
the University is not in
terested in making profits on
its dormitory operation.
Myerson feels the biggest
Challenge facing his office
!'is to learn as thoroughly as
we can the needs and in
terests of students living in
University Housing so we can
fullfill these needs and in
terests in a timely and
sensitive way without raising
our rate to the residents."
He said that good
university housing should
provide the student with a
good study atmosphere, high
quality maintenance service,
and good food.
Campus housing was
labeled "adequate" by
Myerson and he said no new
fofmitorles are planned on
the Lincoln campuses in the
neat future. He felt that a
new dormitory would be
constructed on the East
Campus before a new one is
built on the Downtown Cam
. pus.
The new housing director
explained that landlords
who sign the University
H o usholder's Agreement,
whloh sets up criteria for
those who want to rent off
campus housing, still have
flexibility in choosing their
tennnts.
The Householder's Agree
ment states that "landloarda
stand ready to rent to all
students and members of the
University of Nebraska
community regardless of
race, religion, or national
origin."
There are many reasons,
according to Myerson,. why
9,000-plus University students
choose to live in off-campus
housing. "First, students
want more privacy. They
want to be able to cook their
own meals, have their girl
friend over, and be ablt to
drink."
Two other reasons cited by
Myerson for the number of
commuters are that some
students feel they can study
better and live more cheaply
in apartments.
He feels, however, that
these two reasons do not
always tend to be true. He
added that off-campus hous
ing is popular because
"students like a new ex
perience" different from
dormitory life.

NSA worried
about activities
You'd violate a parking meter?
New parking at fairgrounds
by Sara Schwieder
Nebraskan Staff Writer
A 1,000-space parking lot at
the fairgrounds began
operating this week in
response to growing parking
problems on campus.
Free shuttlebus service to
the campus is provided each
student parking at the
fairgrounds. Eight buses
running every five to ten
minutes take students from
the grounds to an unloading
point across the street from
the Carillon Tower, ac
cording to Richard Bennett,
director of special business
services. The buses run from
7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
A five-dollar price hike
making parking stickers $15
per year, pays for the eight
buses, a night watchman and
physical improvements to
parking lots, Bennett said.
In addition, two shelters at
the fairgrounds and one near
the unloading point on cam
pus will be completed in a
few days to protect bus
riders from the weather.
"The shelters are arranged
so it doesn't matter where a
student parks; he doesn't
have to walk far to catch the
bus," Bennett said.
On Tuesday morning,
however, the lot had only 120
cars and the buses were
almost empty.
"Becaus this is a new
rystem. It is hard to estimate
the cost or number of people
using it." Bennett com
mented. "The first week will
be one of trlal-and-error to
find how many buses are
needed."
"It is also difficult to
estimate the yearly cost of
the service because we lust
don't know yet how it will
work out," he said.
Two minor traffic ac
cidents caused confusion for
the shuttlebus schedule
Monday. One bus brushed a
telephone pole and the next
was hit on the right front
fender by a car. Bus
passengers were not hurt,
but the driver of the car was
treated for slight injuries.
Buses ran on schedule the
rest of the day.
In addition to parking at
the fairgrounds, a lot is being
finished on the southeast
corner of 17th and Vine
streets. It will be able to ac
commodate 100 more cars,
according to Carl Donaldson,
University b usiness
manager.
"Parking lots are used to
reserve space on the campus
for future buildings." he
said. For instance, the lots in
front of the library will re
main until the library addi
tion is built. "Someday, it
will be a choice of putting
class buildings in close pro
ximity and parking on the
edge of campus, or having
them separated by parking
lots. Either way, the distance
is great."
There are other things
besides buildings, streets and
sidewalks that take space.
Adjacent to the lots on 17th
and Vine Streets, will be a
recreational area, 170 by 600
feet. Grass and trees will be
planted there for an athletic
field.
The fairgrounds lot is
designed to absorb loss of
and recreational areas.
Donaldson said that the
fairgrounds lot was favored
over a high rise parking
building because parking
buildings cause congestion
and cost too much.
"A high rise building would
cost almost a dollar a day."
he said. Also, our $15 per
parking when you compare it
to other universities in the
United States. Some charge
as much as $68 or $70 per
year."
The main question facing
the National Student
Association (NSA) is how
much it should become in
volved in the student activist
movement, according to
ASUN President Bill
Chaloupka, who attended the
NSA convention in El Paso,
Tex., along with NU students
Phil Metcalf, Steve Tiwald
and Vernon Slaughter.
NSA took a major step in
the direction of getting more
involved, when they awarded
the National Association of
Black Students a $50,000 sti
pend after the black
delegates broke up a plenary
session because they claimed
racism was not being given
enough attention by the
delegates.
The original demand of the
blacks was for one-half of the
NSA funds. The sum was
later reduced and was passed
overwhelmingly.
Chaloupka said that the
formation of the new black
organization provided an ex
cellent opportunity to get
some work done.
He cited the new
leadership which will be
provided as an important
factor in new progress.
Nebraska delegate Vernon
Slaughter was elected
Regional Chairman for
Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, and
Missouri of the newly formed
NABS.
Another urgent problem
facing NSA is the lack of
funds. This could be a factor
in trying to get money to the
NABS by the late October
deadline.
NSA is already over
$120,000 in debt. New hope
for clearing up old debts
comes from the newly form
ed Academic Services Cor
poration, which will begin
offering it? services to lie
University of Nebraska
within the next two weeks.
"We learned a great deal
about finding solutions to
problems we have here at the
University, but we haven't
translated too much into
specific ideas as of yet," said
Chaloupka.
Since their is no vote ex
pected in the future, ASUN
will probably continue its
association with NSA.
"There is no reason why
we should make any break
from NSA", said Chaloupka,
"I see it as an important
source of information and
ideas, which we will have to
work from In the future."
