Complaints may keep l-House open year-round
Year-round operation of International
House is being discussed because of recent
complaints from International House resi
dents, according to Bill Schnackel, I-House
director.
Schnackel said one of the two top floors
of Piper Hall in the Neihardt Residence
Center, where I-House residents live, has.
been converted to a men's floor. Formerly
both floors housed women.
"What we're trying to do is provide
single rooms or let students select room
mates of their own choice," he said. "If we
can get a higher percentage of foreign stu
dents living in Piper, then they may request
that Piper go twelve month."
Started in 1969, the I House concept
was desigiied to bring foreign and Ameri
can students together, he said.
American roommates
Foreign students must have American
roommates under the I-House plan.
Schnackel said this poses a problem be
cause of few foreign women at UNL.
Schnackel said a 12-month operation of
I-House possibly could draw more students
to the center.
'The long range plan is to take and ex
pand the program into all four floors of
Piper and move the foreign student office,
overseas opportunities office and several
others into Piper and make it into a year
round international center," he said.
Schnackel' said he would like to offer
I-House food service during vacations,
since students may live in their rooms then
for a minimal fee. During breaks many stu
dents that stay cook their own meals, he
said.
"Some of the foreign students ex
pressed concern that unless we can guaran
tee a more convenient food situation, it
might be more of a hassle than it's worth.
There's a lot of student concern about the
issue," Schnackel added.
Student-initiated
Even though Schnackel said he sup
ported the move to 12-month operation,
he said he wasn't sure if students would
accept it. He said he would prefer it be a
student-initiated proposal.
"If I had my way, I would like, for the
fall of 1976, to begin the twelve-month
operation, and generate a lot of support for
it," he said. "Right now we have to look
at our finances and determine whether it's
feasible to operate on a twelve-month
basis.
Another plan to attract students to I
House is to expand the UNL foreign
studies program, according to Schnackel.
He said he talked with University
Studies about giving students credit for liv
ing in I-House or for doing projects. He
said he also has worked with Centennial
College to create some internationally
flavored projects, or to approach the for
eign students about working on their English-
requirements through Centennial.
"The whole concept of offering an
international course through the house is
done on some other campuses, but we've
just found it to be pretty frustrating to
find a professor that's interested and, to go
through all the trouble of getting it
recognized as an established course on the
campus," Schnackel said.
Bus fee cited as unfair to East Campus
By Dick Hovorka
While many East Campus residence hall
occupants say they find their living-enrivon-ment
friendly and open, others say they
think they aren't always treated the same
as students in residence halls on City
Campus.
Chris Zenk, Love Hall resident, said she
thinks Ea'.t Campus residents are discrim
inated against because of the 10-cent bus
fee for rides between campuses.
'To enjoy the museum, Sheldon Me
morial Art Gallery, University Health Cen
ter or the Nebraska Union, we have to
pay," she said. "If we are sick we have to
find someone to drive us down. It's incon
venient." All campus churches are on City
Campus, another inconvenience, she said.
Miles Tommeraasen, vice chancellor for
business and finance, said there has always
been a 10-cent bus charge, but previously,
students could ride if they had a parking
sticker.
East Campus residents might be thought
to be discriminated against if only bus fee
for transportation downtown is considered,
Tommeraasen said.
But students who live on City Campus
and ride the bus for classes on East Campus
also are discriminated against, he said.
East Campus students want to change
"the image between campuses. We're not
backward," said Cheryl Hinze, Burr East
president. "We want to improve communi
cations." Despite problems such as parking, buses
and lack of air conditioning, the advantages
of living on East Campus outweigh the dis
advantages, said Butch Ernest, president of
the Burr-Fedde coordinating committee.
"There is a united feeling. We have the
same majors, attend the same classes and
live with each other. It's friendly, not im
personal," Zenk said.
Ernest said there is a feeling of "inde
pendence, and a positive attitude."
