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
