Headquarters 119 Nebr. Union lp.m. - 4 p.m. The Nebraska Union is undergoing an efficiency survey to study possible money saving changes and ways of improving service, according to Alien Bennett, Nebraska Union director. Frank Kuhn, Union operations manager, said UNL's decreasing student enrollment has been one reason behind the Union's need to "tighten up." Bennett explained that $6 of each student's fees goes to the Union. In past years, he said, the Union's budget has increased because student enrollment increased. "The enrollment has now stabilized, but our costs have continued to rise," Bennett said. He said the Union's operation costs have increased 18 per cent during the last fiscal year. Kuhn said less money and higher costs could mean a reduction in the number of hours the Union will be open and cutting back the number of employes, Instead of keeping the Union open until 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights, he said, it may stjrt closing at 1 1 p.m. Kuhn said the survey, which was taken Dec. 7-13, showed that 49,460 persons used the Union during the seven-day period. The largest day was Friday, when 9,533 persons visiting the Union. Sunday was the slowest day, with count was 1,957. "We took a count every 15 minutes from opening to closing to correlate where people went," he said. The main lounge was the busiest area, while the Crib was the income producing area which had the most visitors, Kuhn said. "We have not solved any problems yet because the data we've collected so far has not been analyzed," Kuhn said. Bennett said another survey will be taken during the second semester's second or third week. "The survey taken in December was during a representative low traffic period, while this next one wiil be taken during a representative high traffic time," he said. Bennett said it would take at least 90 days before completion of the final analysis. This means there will be no discernible changes in the Union "until well into late spring," he said.
