Students rds sCpfy
Health Center
by H.J. Cummins
One of two architectural
students who intend to present
their plans for a new Student
Health Center to the Board of
Regents predicted the odds of
having them authorize its
construction are "one in a
million."
Bob Peters, a fourth-year
University student from
Oakland, said he and Ron
Baker purposely did not try to
curb construction costs of their
planned structure to prevent
"something like 'Chemistry
Cathedral' (Hamilton Hall) or
Oldfather Hall."
The project was done for an
architecture design
course with the approval and
assistance of Student Health
Director Samuel Fuenning.
Baker, a fourth-year student
from Omaha, said he believed
"in order to get the student
body to use it (the Health
Center) to its fullest, the
building has to be very
dynamic."
He complained a 1967
Comprehensive Campus Plan
was a "waste of money" since
it put a high priority on at least
doubling the existing structure
(built in 19SS for 6-10,000
students) and no action has
been taken.
Baker and Peter's plan calls
for remodeling the existing
structure, adding two wings to
its north and a "circulation
corps" between the two
additioy
The west wing is directly
behind the current building
with the ciruclation core east

of it and the other wing east of
the circulation corps.
Besides the students
interest in appearance (Baker
said they make "an auditorium
look like an auditorium," even
outside, to help students feel
familiar with the structure,)
they designated improved
internal circulation as their
major goal.
Much time is wasted by
students and the medical staff
because of the current
structure's poor arrangement,
Baker explained.
He said if a girl makes an
appointment to see a doctor,
suspecting she's pregnant but
not telling anyone, she is given
a 15-minute slot, just like a
man who only needs a quick
check-up to refill a
prescription.
Under tne current system,
he said, the man, if scheduled
behind the girl, has no option
but to wait the two hours the
doctor may counsel the girl.
Baker said their "triage" or
'systematic sorting of
individuals according to
specific illness" would prevent
such con f u s i o n by
channeling-immediately when
the student enters the
building-the patient to the
"zone" in the building that is
the service he or she requires.
A proposed computer
would cut waiting time five to
10 minutes, Baker said,
because it would make the
patients' medical history
instantly available to medical
staff members anywhere in the
building.
The circulation core would
include two elevators operating

on all six levels of the two
wings, stairs to all floors and
ramps (for wheel chairs) to
connect all full and half floors
(the floors on the west wing
would be located midway
between the floors on the east
wing.)
Baker said any point in the
building could be reached by
foot or wheel chair.
Having the offices on the
highest levels, Baker explained,
would keep a "minimum of
student circulation" on those
levels. Instead of spreading the
student-frequented facilties
throughout the building, he
said, they would be in a
concentrated area,
necessitating less travel
throughout the building and
less time wasted.

Committee seeks
ombudsman
Names and biographies of potential part-time ombudsmen for
the second semester must be turned into the UNL Ombudsman
Search Committee by Dec. 23, according to the committee's
chairman.
Denise Gamache said anybody-student, faculty member,
administrator or non-University person-may apply. The
six-member search committee will submit its recommendation to
Interim Chancellor C. Peter Magrath Jan. 9.
ASUN decided Sept. 29 to seek funds for an ombudsman
position at UNL. The ombudsman's job will be to receive and
investigate complaints from faculty, staff and students and use
persuasion to resolve the grievances.
Gamache said the ombudsman's salary next semester may be
set at half a full-time assistant professor's or between $5,000 and
$6,000.
Besides student Gamache, the search committee is composed
of two other students, two faculty members and an
administrator.
