rC.The
college scholarship
program uirith
sky-high benefits.
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?

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

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.
