ents fail
By Sandy Mohr ,
If youVe recently walked past the
corner of 1 6th and R streets and noticed
that something is missing, don't worry.
Yours eyes aren't playing tricks on you.
A thick, green lawn of grass now grows
where two apartment houses once stood.
The buildings, which were torn down in
early July, served as housing mainly for
married foreign students.
Another building, at 15th and S streets,
which also was rented by married foreign
students, was razed at the same time. This
property is now part of the parking lot east
of the Nebraska Union.
All three buildings failed to meet fire
safety and life safety standards, and it was
not economically possible to correct these
violations, according to Physical Plant
Director Harley Schrader. He said the cost
for remodeling the buildings would exceed
their value. i

Interviews
aid students
By Barbara Lutz .
You've completed an education, ttam
you want a job.
One of the most crucial aspects al
getting a job is the interview. The Careci
Planning and Placement Center at UNL.
with the assistance of volunteer personnel
from Lincoln businesses, are conducting
practice interviews for student job-seekers.
The interviews are designed to acquaint
students with the types of questions pro
spective employers ask. Jim Strand ol
Lincoln Telephone and Telegraph said
there are bricks to interviewing and that
is what we want to expose the student!
to."
Students usually lack experience, he
said, and their first or second interview!
take them by surprise.
Preparation essential
Frank Hailgren, director of UNL's
Career Planning and Placement Center,
said preparation for a job interview is
essential.
"If you don't have a career goal, it is
hard for the employer to see if you match,
to see if you have what they need for a
particular job," Hailgren said.
It is ' extremely important", he said,
that the job-seeker know about tha pro
spective employer and his demands.
Strand said 90 per cent of most inter
views is about the person and only 10 per
cent concerns qualifications which can be
learned from the resume. .
"The most important part Is getting to
know the person," he said.
A critique by the interviewer following
the session will give students additional aid,
especially in areas that need improvement,
three buildings into compliance with safety
and health standards would have cost
about $ 1 00,000," Schrader said.
Poor condition
Renovation was needed on electricity,
plumbing and general maintenance, accord
ing to Schrader. He added that the roofs
were bad and the windows had rotted.
Although the age of the buildings is not
certain, they already had been built when
NU acquired the land in 1949 and 1950,
according to Ray Coffey, UNL assistant
business manager. Coffey said that the
ouildings were bought from private owners.
Of the 17 apartments in the three
buildings, 12 were occupied at the time of
the razing, causing 27 people to move.
All but one of the 12 units were occu
pied by foreign students, according to Dori
Bush, staff assistant for family housing.
Bush said the Housing Office tried to find
married student housing for these tenants.
but failed in two cases. ; .
No accomodations
"We didn't have large enough apart
ments to accommodate the people we re
ferred to the Lincoln Housing Authority,
Busli snici
Xavier Enwieme was one of the persons
who found housing through the Lincoln
Housing Authority. Enwieme, who has
three children, said he lived in one of the
buildings on 16th and R streets for over a
year
"It was an old dilapidated building, but
it did serve a purpose," Enwieme said.
The rent he is paying now is less than he
payed in the old building.
'They (UNL's Housing Office) gave me
married student's housing (on East Campus)
that I couldn't afford. It cost $150 a
month," Enwieme said.
East Campus housing
" Oscar Rodrigues is now living in married
students housing provided by UNL on East
Campus. x
He lived in one of the buildings or
16th and R streets tor jsix months before
he had to leave on June 30.
Rodrigues is studying agriculture and
has most of his classes on East Campus, but
he said he liked the downtown convenience
where he used, to live.
Despite the waiting list for married
students housing, there are no plans for
any future student housing on the vacated
lot at 16th and R, according to Coffey.
However, he said it is a potential future
site.
'There is nothing specifically earmarked
for that location on the long-range campus
plan, which may extend into the next 24
years," Coffey said. .
He said trees or shrubbery may be
planted, and it will resemble the lot on the
north-west comer.

Concept emerged
The concept of practice interviews
emerged from studies by the Career Action
Commission, said Jant Krause, UNL
counselor. The commission, supported by
Acting Chancellor Adam Breckenridge and
Ken Bader, vice chancellor for Student
Affairs is composed of 20 faculty, staff and
graduate students from UNL. The group
was formed because of a need for more
career assistance, Krause said.
Held for the first time at UNL, the.
interviews are scheduled for September
23 through 25 and October 1 and' 2.
The volunteer interviewers hope to serve
more than 200 students. Interested stu
dents should have resumes on file in the
Career Placement Office in room 231 of
the Nebraska Union before the interviews.
The interviewers are volunteers from the
Lincoln Personnel Association, including
such firms as the Lincoln Telephone &
Telegraph, the Lincoln Electric System,
Cushman Motors, Kawasaki Motor Corp.,
local banks and insurance firms.

The University and Nebraska Book
stores and the ASUN Book Exchange re
ported increases in total book sales for the
beginning of the fall semester.
Jerry Williams, assistant manager of the
University Bookstore, said the store had
more book shortages than he had expected,
but that the shortage was only a small per
centage of all books sold.
He said major reasons for the shortage
were increased enrollment, professors sub
mitting their book lists late and problems
with books being printed later than
expected.
University Bookstore sold more law,
nursing, home economics and philosophy
textbooks than in previous years, he said.
John Wehr, manager of Nebraska Book
store, which also owns Campus Bookstore,
said there are always some book shortages,
but fewer than expected this year.
He said fewer shortages were a rtsult of
the Academic Services office's decision to
supply the store with registration infor
mation as it became available during the '
summer.
He said that students bought more
books for classes for which they would not
normally buy books.
For the first time, the Nebraska Book
store set up a temporary store on East
Campus. Wehr said sales on East Campus
were good enough that the East Campus
store will open again in January.
He said if it is successful in January, Nc
braska Bookstore will open a year-round
store on East Campus.
ASUN President Jim Sav said th AS! FN
book exchange went smoother this year
than in the past. He attributed this to a
new numbering system, which eliminated
a lot of paper work.
The new system involved imprinting the
number of,, the book, the seller's asking
price and the class for which the book was
used on the book's inside cover. The seller
then filled out a master list with his name
and the number of the book. The process
eliminated the need for the seller to com
plete a more extensive form and lessened
the chance that the price tab inside each
book would be lost.
More books were available this year, he
said, because more students put their
books for sale in the exchange. He also said
more books were sold.
