"When we put cur name on the list they told us it would be nine months. A year and a half later they called us." - . I ' The waiting list for married student apartments is long. According to the Housing Department, the University only has 84 units and there are 123 couples waiting. The list has crown since last year, according to a housing office spokes man. Despite the epparsnt interest shown by students, the office of married student housing no longer exists. . . Wayne Blue, former director of married student housing who is now in purchasing said that when 19 year-olds become legal adults the work of the office went down 40 percent. "Students used to have to live in University-approved housing, and be cause they were under 21, had to have people co-signing contracts. Now, they don t like to be told what to do or where to live." Housing Director Richard Armstrong said, "To put it bluntly, a secretary is now handling the work that Wayne used to do. We just couldn't utilize him fully." But students are still kept waiting from a year to 18 months for apartments, according to Bush. Arm strong claims there is nothing that can be done. "We know there Is a need for more housing, but right now I don't know whs! C2f! dens about it. .For ot.s thing the federal government has Just withdrawn its interest subsidary pro gram which means that when we borrow money to build, the interest rate has risen from 3 to 10 .i We 'can't afford more housing with those conditions, he said. I Blue said the problem has been the same for years: "The question of more housing for married students has been around as far back as I can remember. It's a purely academic question. The money always goes toisomething with higher priorities." , i . . Another possibility Uhat has been discussed by the Housing Department, is converting dorms; into married student housing. Armstrong said he isn't hopeful. i "If we didn't have the demand from single students, it might be an idea. But the demand is still there," he said. "Besides that, it would cost so much to convert dorms into married housing, we might just as well start over." Canarsky, who looked over the apartments before putting his name on the waiting list said, "The apartments are all right, but they're not really worth waiting for." "We check these apartments. If there are things wrong we contact the landlord and get it fixed. We make sure the apaitments are suitable to live In. Vocational counseling to be offered V i : -.w -' . "w ' -- I C Vocational group counseling whi ubiow the first time at UNL within the month through the University Counseling center,: according to Counselor Don Holm. Holm said the group will supplement and not replace the one-to-one counseling presently provided at the center. Groups will consist of five to eight members with each member working to gain "a larger perspective on himself, Holm S3He contends that "interacting with other people who have similar problems will benefit the clients. 'We'll very much steer away from tne vocational class kind of thing you were exposed to in hiah school," he said. . Getting to know more people and having more material to work with will also benefit the clients, Holm said. Groups will usually meet for three or four one-and-one-half hour sessions. ... Schedules and groups will be worked out with the individual clients according to each student s convenience, he said. Counseling center counsel ors will conduct the group sessions. ... . Also being considered are groups that will get into other kinds of issues such as helping students clarify their own values on what kind of lifestyle ihfv should lead, learn how to work out vocational decisions and develop job-seeking skills J There is still time to register!
