Beecher says
co-op to begin
operation soon
A UNL student co-op, which will offer its
members discounts at some downtown
stores, will be in operation within a month,
according to ASUN president Bruce Beecher.
Beecher, long a proponent of the plan,
said Tuesday a lawyer was working on
contracts with downtown retailers. Beecher
said oral agreements have been reached with
several merchants.
One of the available services planned is an
instant photograph machine which would
produce I.D. cards. The cards would contain
the individual's name, picture, student
number and birth date.
The cards then would permit the student
to make purchases from participating
retailers "at about a 10 percent discount,"
according to Beecher.
The co-op organization will be
incorporated separately from ASUN under
the name Associated Student Co-op. The
membership cards will cost $10 a year, but
Beecher said the late start will lower this
year's price to about $8.
Money from sale of the cards will go
toward opening another student store,
fashioned after the ASUN-operated record
store. It likely will be a "general store",
selling small items like toothpaste or snacks,
according to Beecher.
Merchants participating in the co-op will
be student oriented, Beecher said. He said
the discount also would apply at the ASUN
record shop.
Beecher said he is studying prices at local
stores to determine which with the
discount-would offer students the lowest
prices.
The advantage to the retailer is a
potential monopoly of student business,
Beecher said. Only one store of a particular
variety for instance, only one photography
supply store or one gas station will be
contracted, Beecher explained. The
contracts will be reviewed each year, he
added.
Beecher also said stores operated by
students or young people will be given the
first and longest look before co-op
arrangements are finalized.
The ASUN exec made it clear that profits
from the co-op will be put back into the
co-op rather than into ASUN funds.
Expo will replace
Student Y bazaar
The International Bazaar is no more. Shoplifting at last
year's bazaar put the sponsoring Student Y about $5,000 in
debt, and they say they can't afford another.
So this year they've substituted a Merchants' Exposition.
About 40 merchants and service organizations have paid a fee
to set up booths in the Union Centennial Room. Their exhibits
will be open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday.
According to Twin Daniels, Student Y advisor, clothing,
bicycles, wigs and exercise machines will be part of the
merchandise displayed. Free shampoo and set coupons from a
beauty parlor and other discount coupons will be given away.
Students also will be able to sign up for Eurail passes.
Service organizations ranging from the People's Co-op to
the Young Republications and a voter registration booth also
will be represented. Two rock bands, Oedipus and Last
Chance, will play intermittently.
Proceeds will go the Student Y, which provides the
women's information line, abortion counseling, international
luncheons every Thursday, Y -teens, films, speakers and the
Youth Service Bureau. Daniels said the Student Y hopes to
raise about $2500 with the exchange.

Trotter urges
grad program
improvements
Virginia Trotter, UNL vice chancellor for
academic affairs, underscored the importance
of the University's graduate programs in an
address Tuesday.
Speaking at the school year's first Faculr
Senate meeting. Trotter urged the faculty to
commit itself to developing excellent graduate
education at UNL.
Without quality graduate programs, she said,
we can not expect qualify undergraduate
programs.
After the meeting, Trotter said that if the
University is able ,to improve graduate
instruction, those programs will "be reinforced
with funding which will bring about
excellence."
She declined comment when asked if the
University intended to launch a major lobbying
effort on behalf of its graduate academic
programs.
Trotter also praised University president
D.B. Varner for his attempts to raise the
educational quality at the University.
Following Trotter's speech, the senate sped
through its iigenda in ksss than a half hour.
Reports were presented from several
committees. Economic professor Jerry Petr
was re-electod senate secretary.
Money for a new East
campus Union was authorized
Monday at the Board of
Regents meeting in Lincoln.
The Regents shifted $2.5
million from a student
fee-supported bond to finance
its construction.
According to a Nebraska
Union Board spokesman,
planning for the new building
is already underway.
Preliminary specifications
for the new Union are being
drawn up, he reported. The
Regents have not selected an
architect for the project. .
Money for the new
structure will come from a
$26.9 million bond series let in
1 964 and 1966 for
construction of student
housing and other facilities.
Tax funds will not be used in
construction of the new Union.
