UNL housing officials expect a $62,000 budget deficit
in the cjrrent academic year. UNL residence hall
occupancy rate is the lowest in five years, according to sn
article Tuesday in the Lincoln Star.
The loss also would have included nearly $250,000 in
operating expenses had it not been for recent economy
moves initiated by the Housing Office.
In a recent report to UNL Chancellor James Zumberge,
the Housing Office said at the beginning of the 1973-74
spring semester, 90 per cent z the space was assigned. Yet
the double occupancy equivalent rate was only 85.6 per
cent.
The equivalent rate indicates the amount of space which
would be occupied if each room housed two students.
A significant increase in the number of students who are
paying single room rates to live alone has increased the
percentage of space assigned, off ials noted.
Both occupancy figures were lower in 1G69-70, but since
then more space has been used in the residence halls. Some
