About the Union Board by ANDY CUNNINGHAM The Nebraska Union Board is the governing and policy-making body for the Nebraska Union and the East Union. It derives its authority from a governing code approved by the Board of Regents. "As the governing body of the Nebraska Union, the Union Board dedicates itself to the goal of creating an educational environment through the use of its resources. SPECIFICALLY, the board seeks to provide services, facilities and programs that will enhance and advance a total learning experience for the entire University family. "Recognizing also that students bring to the campus a variety of interests and can be expected to develop new in tersts as members of the academic community, the board seeks to provide guidance and support to in dividual student interests, with emphasis on benefits gained from organizational activity." THE BOARD implements these philosophies through programing and house services. "The scope of Union pro graming represents the broadest interaction of student extracurricular needs and in terests. The Union Board has charged .a program council with the function of programing for educationa, recreational, cultural and social needs. "THE UNION PROGRAM Council provides, within its capabilities, a facilitating and implementing service to any student or group of students seeking assistance in the presentation of their programs. "In its establishment of and in its continued reliance on a program council, the board believes that students' needs can best be determined by students specifically assigned a programing function." THE HOUSE services func tion is divided into . two categories: 1) fee-supported administrative and housekeep ing services and 2) income pro d u c i n g retail sales departments. . The fee supported services are designed to "serve through common-use facilities the needs of student organizations in their service to the campus." Specifically, this category pro vides for "student offices, stu dent meeting rooms, lounges, music listening areas, restrooms, halls and storage place, along with the personnel required to keep these areas operating efficiently for the maximum hours weekly and the maximum number of days per year." THE INCOME-PRODUCING retail business services are de signed "to provide for service in the areas of food, recreation and general notions-type merchan dise the highest possible stan dards of product quality and service during the maximum number of hours daily for the maximum number of days per year." They are also designed "to be self-sustainfng, self-liquidating and essentially non profit." The board hears appeals on all complaints about space allocation, services or pro gramming after these have gone to the Union management or to the program council, respectively. THE MEMBERSHIP of the board consists of nine students, three faculty, and the Union di rector. Of the nine student mem bers, three are selected by the city program council from its membership, one by the East Union program council from its membership and three by ASUN. The two additional stu dent positions are available to any member of the student body at large, excluding the program councils and their agencies and ASUN and its agencies. The board plans to meet every two weeks in the Union, tentatively on Thursdays at 4:30 p.m. All meetings are open to the public. Students seeking further information about the board and its meetings, or wishing to place Hems on the meeting agenda, should contact Gail Campbell, secretary of the board, Pound Hall 1117, 477 9271, or Mrs. Carol De Vere, Union staff secretary attached to the board, Room 200, Nebraska Union.
