Vending machines replace
cafeterias as funds source
By Steve Arvanette
Although they have been called electric
waiters and other epithets Dy CissatisTied
customers, food vending machines have grown
into a profitable and expanding enterprise on
the UNL campus.
"Nearly all industries have had a food
operation," Gerald Christoffersen, division
manager for Automatic Merchandising Co.,
said. The trend has been toward vending
operations because cafeterias have become too
expensive to build and operate, he said.
The contract for vending machines at UNL is
currently held by Automatic Merchandising, a
Lincoln division of ARA Food Service Co.
Machines in the Nebraska Union's North Crib,
however, are operated by the Union Food
Service.
Christoffersen, who directs a staff of 25-30
employes, said he is glad to see the University
changing its previous attitude of hiding vending
machines in hallway corners.
Rising food costs have especially hit vending
operations. The division manager said price
increases are likely before January on milk,
coffee and possibly candy items.
"Wc are not keeping abreast of rood
increases," Christoffersen said. Retail milk
prices recently were raised 10 cents a gal. on in
Lincoln. Candy manufacturers are considering
discontinuing 10-cent candy bars, he said.
According to Gene Meerkatz, UNL vending
system manager, profits realized from, the
University's vending contract are directed into
development of new sites and the repair and
renovation of existing locations.
Between $10,00 and $15,000 is available for
site development annually. Although final
figures are not available for the 1972-73 fiscal
year, Ron Wright, assistant director of business
and finance, has estimated that $20,000 will be
realized from vending operations after payment
of operating and management costs.
Wright noted that eventually any excess
funds will be turned over to Ken Bader, vice
chancellor for student affairs, to establish
special student programs.
Presently -all profits are being reinvested in
such

The Nebraska Union
Thursday changed check
cashing from the north desk to
room 221.
According to Frank Kuhn,
Union operations mnnager, the
site was changed so as to
service students b"tter.
'The north desk was too
crowded and wns interfering
with the hall traffic. We felt
the operation needed better
service than that," Kuhn said.
The new station will have
one full-time teller and one
part-time teller for busy hours,
ho said.
The new check cashing
hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
