Womans Resource Center opens Union office

Faces of two women, an
ancient symbol for "woman",
brightly painted .bookshelves
and a room filled with pastel
greens and oranges combine to
make up the Women's
Resource Center, opening
today in the Nebraska Union.
"The room will serve as a
clearinghouse for information
concerning women, and as an
informal meeting place for
women students," said Judy
Dowding, a University student
and member of the center's
steering committee.
Julie Hass, also a University
student and temporary
chairwoman for the center,
said she hopes the facility and
its services will also "reach out
to the community."
Volunteers will keep the
center open from 1 1 a.m. till 5
p.m. Monday-Friday for the
next two weeks, Hass said,
after which she said the
steering committee hopes it
can be open as long as the
Union is-7 a.m. till 11 p.m.,
ASUN: CSL should find new
Studenf Health government
ASUN has asked the
Council on Student Life to
find an alternative governing
structure for the Student
Health Center, a structure
which would, in effect,
formalize student input into
program planning.
Although "the largest chunk
of student fees goes to Student
Health," there is no formally
appointed group of students
involved in planning, said
Michele Coyle, ASUN 1st Vice
President.
The ASUN resolution
passed last Wednesday asks
CSL to "extensively
investigate alternative
structures" for the Center
"with an eye to establishing a
University community health
service with a governing board
composed of the Health
Center's constituencies."
CSL will discuss the issue
Thursday. The resolution
requests CSL to prepare a draft
of the proposal by
mid-December.
Samuel I. Fuenning, the
Center's medical director, said

there's been "quite an apathy
up until recently" among
students towards the center,
and "we'd be delighted to have
student involvement."
In meetings with Coyle,
Fuenning said he suggested
that ASUN possibly develop a
comprehensive health planning
council involving all
constituents who use the
Center.
The Center's formal
governing board is the Board of
Regents, Fuenning said, and
programs are planned by the
medical staff. The staff gains
stuuent input from the
Center's health aide program
and from the 2,000
questionnaires sent to students
every year, Fuenning said.
A Student Council on
Health was formed several
years ago by a health aide but
"it wasn't a fashionable issue
then," former ASUN Sen.
Jonette Beaver said. Beaver is
attempting to re-organize the
Council.
Interested persons probably
will be interviewed by ASUN
and Health Center personnel,
she said. The Council will seek
broad representation from the
student community.
Beaver favors a
comprehensive planning
council involving students.

University staff, medical staff
and faculty. The concept
behind such a planning council
is a "partnership for health,"
she said. "The only way to
provide adequate service is to
involve the consumer in the
planning."
Coyle said she is most
concerned with getting more
student input at the Center,
"with having real
responsiveness to student needs
and concerns."

Located in Room 118
(where the ASUN record store
was), the center was designed
to have "office facilities at one
end and lounge facilities at the
other," Dowding said. She said
she hopes a hot plate and cups
will be made available to
persons in the center so they
can make their own hot drinks
Services available to both
men and women through the
center include reading material,
tapes and possible films that
can be checked out about
women and their roles,
employment possibilities, legal
rights, history, and a lounge
area in which students can
relax or talk informally or in
arranged rap sessions.
The Center will also have a
phone which students can
call-through the University
switchboard-for information or
counseling on female problems;
and a counselor who can try to
help women with problems or
refer them to someone who
can.

the center will go through a
training session led by someone
"with, insight into women's
problems, and -one who has
preferably worked in Lincoln."
A Female Help Line,
sponsored by the Student
YWCA, will begin operation
soon, Hass said, and "we'd like
to help with it."
There are 20 volunteers
scheduled to work at this time,
but "anyone interested can
contact me anytime," Hass
said.
"We hope to get as many
women involved as possible,"
she added.
One University student,
Nicki Cloidt, scheduled to
work. At the center said it is "a
good way to get involved in
other people-a way to meet
University women." She said
the bright interior will "force
people to react-all that brown
everywhere else in the Union
just puts you to sleep."
The center arose from a
meeting where representatives
from Pound, Sandoz and Smith
Halls, Women's Residence
Halls, University Women's
Action Group, Mortar Board,
Angel Flight, ASUN,
Panhellenic, Alpha Lambda

Funding came from the
treasury of the defunct
Associated Women's Students
organization ($225) and
ASUN, which, in late
September, allotted $500 to
the center.
Members of the Center's
Steering Committee are Hass,
Dowding, B. J. Blankenship,

and Kathy Hanthorn.

student fee money was used,
personally he would like to be
kept aware of what it was
going for.
Prokop speculated that the
conference would open the
Board to much criticism from
the electorate and
consequently weaken its
position in upcoming budget
battles with the Legislature.
Prokop later moved that the
UNL administration report to
the Regents at their next
meeting on how the conference
was planned-and by whom.
The motion carried on a 4-3
vote.
Time-Out coordinator Palti
Kaminski said after the
meeting that the conference
had been developed in
conjunction with the offices of
Student Affairs and Student
Activities,
She stated that the Regents
had not been informed, and
asserted that there was no real
reason for them to be
informed, as it was not their
job to review every program at
the University. "That's what
you have the administration
for," she said.
Allen Bennett, Director of
the Nebraska Union, said he
had acted with other
administrators as an unofficial
advisor for Time-Out since last
summer. He also arranged use
of Union facilities.
Breakdown of Saturday's
voting was as follows:- Moylan's
motion: Raun, Schwart.kopf,
LI Not Koefoot and Wagner
against; Moylan for; Prokop
abstained ;--Prokops'
resolution: Raun, Schwartzkopf,

Regent Kcrmil Hansen was
absent from the meeting.
