Some people might need to be coaxed with more than a full college scholarship to enroll in the Air Force ROTC Program. So, if free tuition, lab and incidental fees aren't enough. . . the Air Force offers a monthly allowance of $100.00, tax-free, in your junior and senior years, even if you are not on scholarship. And flying lessons to those qualified provide the most exciting benefit of all. Interested? Contact Maj. Hank Juister At M & N Building Room 209 PUT IT ALL TOGETHER IN AIR FORCE ROTC Students returning to UNL residence halls following the semester break found several improvements. Housing Director Richard Armstrong said Tuesday that $300,450 was allocated in January 1974 by the NU Board of Regents for capital improvement projects. Armstrong found the improvements to be in five stages of progress: completed, in the final stages of completion, in progress, cancelled and partially implemented or undergoing study. Armstrong said he uses considerable flexibility in spending the funds because of the many changes that occur in the residence halls and in the economy between the time the funds are allocated and the time they are used. Although he does present an illustrative list of proposed projects to the regents when they are considering the allocation, he may use the funds lor different projects when necessary, as long as the total expenditures don't exceed the location. He said $65,600 (21.8 per cent of the total allocation) was to make improvements in the dining rooms serving the twelve residence halls. The modification of dining room entrances has been completed in the Selleck Food Service and Abel-Sandoz Food Service, and is in progress at the Harper-Schramm-Smith Food Service. Salad bars with electricity for keeping food chilled are in operation at Abel-Sandoz, Cather-Pound-Neihardt, Harper-Schramm-Smith and Selleck Food Services. Carpet installation in the Abel-Sandoz, Cather-Pound-Neihardt and Harper-Schramm-Smith dining rooms has also been completed, Another improvement at the Cather-Pound-Neihardt and Abel-Sandoz dining rooms are new water dispensers and ice makers. New serving trays for Selleck Food Service are now being used. Draperies ordered Draperies have been ordered for the Harper-Schramm-Smith, Abel-Sandoz, and Selleck dining rooms and for the first floor of the Cather-Pound-Neihardt Food Service. Armstrong said the installation of draperies at the Abel-Sandoz Food Service has been indefinitely postponed due to a flaw in the first shipment of fabric. He said the draperies are expected to be installed in the Selleck dining room by Jan. 31, and in the Harper-Schramm-Smith and Cather-Pound-Neihardt dining rooms by Feb. 10. Carpeting was 21.6 per cent of the total allocation and was expected to cost $65,000 for the five projects. Three dining rooms were carpeted as well as corridors in Burr-Fedde and Sandoz residence halls. Floor lounge improvements received $39,000, 13 per cent of the total allocation made in January 1974, and public lounge improvements received $34,500, 11.5 per cent of the total allocation. The refurbishing of floor lounges involves multiple sites in various stages of completion in the Abel, Sandoz, Harper, Schramm, Smith, Cather and Pound residence halls, Armstrong said. He said projects on some floors have been completed while those on others are in progress and depend to a degree upon student initiative. Other divisions of the total allocation made in January 1974, besides carpeting, floor lounges, public lounges and dining rooms, were M R9DWICH SHOP recreation, study and programming, $28,500 (9.5 per cent of the total allocation) and other, $67,850 (22.6 per cent of the total allocation). Special purpose rooms for several residence halls are in progress, although none have been completed. Plans have been approved by the housing department for a music practice room in Sandoz and Selleck. A student kitchen in Sandoz is in the final stages of completion and needs only six tables and a student kitchen for Selleck is being developed. The dark room in Abel is nearly finished and is operational, but still needs several small pieces of equipment, Armstrong said. Plans for a darkroom for Selleck are still being developed. Recreation area complete The recreation room in Neihardt is completed and operating, although several other improvement projects, including the information desk, commons room, television lounge, study room and parlor are in various stages of planning. Completion of a multi-purpose room for Harper is now scheduled for Jan. 31, he said. The replacement of approximately 20 irreparable doors in Cather and of deteriorated draperies in student rooms in Abel and Sandoz will be made during the year on an "as needed" basis. Ten projects which the allocation was to cover were cancelled for various reasons, Armstrong said, and the funds were used for substitute projects or to cover cost overruns. The $2,500 allotted for the remodeling of condiment and ice tea stations in Abel-Sandoz Food Service and Cather-Pound-Neihardt Food Services was used to cover overruns on other projects. The installation of doors on first floor bathroom stalls in Sandoz was cancelled and locks were installed on restroom doors instead. The funds allocated for the installation of locks on fire extinguishers and fire hose cabinets were diverted to repair fire alarm systems in Sandoz. Money alloted for formica wall coverings in the passenger elevators in Harper, Schramm, and Smith residence halls was instead used for elevator maintenance in the Harper and Schramm Halls. Upon the recommendation of an interior decorator, draperies were not installed in the Cather-Pound-Neihardt Food Service, and the funds ($3,500) were used to cover overruns on other projects. The refurbishment of rooms in Benton and Fairfield halls within Selleck Quadrangle was cancelled with the decision to use both halls for academic units. The $10,000 allocated for the project was applied toward repair of the roof of Abel. The funds for major improvements in Selleck were available following the postponement of an earlier planned project to improve lighting in student rooms. It was postponed until occupancy in that residence hall improves sufficiently to justify the $24,250 cost. Obstacles made against that allocation to be used in Selleck included the preparation of a graduate section at a cost of $10,000, the partial payment of the interior decorator's fee at a cost of $1,985, a soft-serve ice cream machine at a cost of $3,512, funds to cover the overrun of the kitchen and music room projects at a cost of $1,500, development of the darkroom, $500, purchase of a stove, $250, purchase of a large potato peeler machine, $300 and wallpaper for the athletic dining room, $111. 1ETE SHI 36 Sandimich varieties hot or cold, 21 S Wo. 14th Between Jason's and the Pizza Hut Bowlers!
