Model program gets real thing
The Model United Nations program (MUN),
sponsored for the eighth year by the Nebraska
. Union Program Council, will convene Feb. 4 with
a general assembly of about 80 delegations.
Two representatives from the United Nations
in New York City will attend the convention,
according to Dean Kirby, secretary-general for
this year's MUN. They are Steven Day of the
permanent mission of the United Kingdom to the
UN and Hiro Shibuya, a member of the UN
Secretariat with the Economic and Social
Council (ECOSOC).
Sam Jaffee, former ABC correspondent to
Moscow and Hong Kong, whom Kirby described
as "a China watcher when China was an object of
mystery" will give the keynote address Feb. 5.
registration down
MUN registrations are down this year, Kirby
said. About 20 delegations are still open. Kirby
attributed decreasing registration to the
additional day of the conference-MUN has
lasted three days in previous years-and the $12
registration fee, a $2 increase over last year.
Kirby said MUN, which he described as "an
educational endeavor to learn the various organs
of the UN," is one of "the largest of its kind in
the country."
Students registering for the conference pay
the registration fee and preference the countries
they wish to represent, Kirby said. Students
receive background information on their assigned
country before the conference begins.
MUN, Kirby said, "teaches the procedures and
behavior of large representative bodies.
Teaches compromise, communication
"It teaches people how to communicate, the
nature of compromise and to embrace a point of
view foreign to your own, thereby gaining
perspective on other parts of the world."
The MUN general assembly will divide into
four committees patterned after their UN
counterparts, Kirby said-economic and financial
committee, political and security committee;
social humanitarian and cultural committee and
the special political committees.
These committees, Kirby said, will be a
"forum of world ideas."
Kirby said this year's MUN will try to avoid
such topics as the continuing conflict in the
Middle East and South Africa, which he called
"the perennial UN topics that are talked to
death." Topics on committee agendas include the
human environment, world refugees and
multinational corporations.
Scholarships
Pending funding, Kirby said, two scholarships
will be awarded at the end of the conference for
outstanding individual delegate performances,
one for a high school student and another for a
college student. Plaques will be awarded for the
outstanding performance by a delegation, he
said.
Sjudents can register for MUN "down to the
last minute," Kirby said, but the remaining
nations will be allotted on a first come-first
served basis.
Students who wish to participate in MUN but
cannot find enough people for a delegation may
contact the Union Program Council for help.
Dean: Architecture space short
The College of Architecture, is short of space,
but has no intention of deserting Architecture
Hall, said Dean W. Cecil Steward.
In a meeting today with the Central Planning
Committee, a UNL advisory committee to the
chancellor, Steward will present a 10-year plan
including the uses for Architecture Hall, Richards
Hall and the old Law College Bldg.
Steward said his objective is to get UNL
officials to plan for the college.
"This will give them a document to support
temporary use of the Law College and a ten year,
projection for present and planned programs for
the college, including faculty, staff, students and
new programs," he said. "It also will describe the
minimal space for each."
Steward said he is interested in preserving
Architecture Hall because it is the oldest building
on campus and should be preserved as history. It
was built about 1894 to 1896, he said.
Steady enrollment increases over the last five
years, including a 17 per cent increase this year,
have caused the space shortage, he said. This
year, architecture has 506 students.
Currently the college uses Architecture Hall,
and Richards Hall. It will move into the old Law
College when the Law College moves to its new
building on East Campus.
After moving into Law College, the College of
Architecture plans to give up its space on the
third floor of Richards Hall, but will maintain
space on the first floor and in the basement,
Steward said.
But even with the added 13,000 square feet,
the college will be 6,000 to 7,000 square feet
short of space, he said.
The college needs more design and planning
studios where studer can make models, he said.
Part of this space will be provided by the third
floor of the Law College, but more is needed, he
said.
Steward said the college also needs an
expanded branch library, visual media center,
research and service labs, and more student
materials storage.
Council approves electric, water hikes
r. . oL.ii... i .
By Shelley Peterson
The City Council Monday approved rate
increases for water and electricity users in
Lincoln.
Exact figures for the water rate change, which
goes into effect Jan. 24, cannot be established
because water rates go down as a customer's
water consumption goes up.
The new rates range from 14 cents to 25 cents
per 100 cubic feet of water used.
Lee Blocker, Public Utilities Director, said the
increase was necessary to finance new pipe lines
and a new treatment plant in Lincoln.
The new Lincoln Electric System (LES) rate
will go into effect Jan. 31.
A 10 per cent across-the-board hike will be
charged all LES users.
Lincoln water customers will be charged based

on water used during a 12-month ocriod.
Three new rates were established to replace
the present residential, commercial and industrial
classifications.
The first includes customers using less than 12
million cubic feet of water, the second, those
using between 12 million and 54 million cubic
feet, and the third, those using more than 54
million cubic feet. Most residential users will
remain in the first category.
Blocker said the lower fee for higher water
usage is justified because it is cheaper to supply
larger users than individual homeowners.
The vote to increase the water rate was 5-2.
Councilmen Richard Baker and Max Denney
voted against the proposal.
The last rate increase for LES of 13 per cent
was approved in June while the last water rate
increase was in 1969.
