Fate of Selleck questionable,
decision expected in spring
By Rusty Reno
Whsthsr SsHsck QusclrsnQls v.'i.'l
remain a residence hail or be closed next
year probably will be decided next
spring, according to Housing Director
Richard Armstrong.
Armstrong said the total capacity of
all residence halls, excluding Selleck, is
4,534 while the number 6f residents this
year is 4,553. In other words, UNL now
has 19 residents in excess of the
capacity of all the other halls, excluding
Selleck, he said. . , ;
If Selleck were closed down, then
residence wbuid be relocated in other
residence halls, Armstrong said.
Armstrong noted that this year there'
are 276 fewer residents than 1973's total
of 4,829..
"The answer lies with occupancy in
the future," he said, "but because
occupancy is uncertain then the situa
tion in Selleck is uncertain."
"I am not disguising my response '
that Selleck does not have a future," he
continued. "But it appears that if we
must convert residence halls to other
uses then Selleck is our leading
consideration."
He said Selleck ;i in need of "big
dollar" repairs. However; it' is too early
to forecast, he said, and stated three
factors in Selleck's favor;
Housing does not wish to destroy
the SeHeck community that has b?6n sot
up over the years.
Housing believes that renting of
private rooms, whose number would
probably be decreased if Selleck closes,
is a good program.
" There are 371 persons living in
private rooms this year as compared to
257 in 1973.
Other universities have shown an
increase in occupancy and, because the
.future "can't be predicted, Housing is
reluctant to close Selleck.
"All three points are relative to the
economy of, the situation, so if we are
losing money then the whole thing has
to be re-examined," Armstrong said.
Benton and Fairfield Halls, which are
in Selleck Quandrangle, are occupied
this year by the Department of
Anthropology, Teachers College and
Nursing. Possibilities for the remainder
of Selleck, if it is closed, include married
student housing or academic purposes,
hesaid.
"If during the year we get sufficient,
indications that the drop in occupancy in
1975 will be by this year's amount, then
it will be awfully difficult to maintain
Selleck as a residence hall," Armstrong
said.
