Power fcdihUy went oat about 9:15 axL, he said. Power ia some of the circuits was restored ia two rciautes, but the rest of the circuits were out for IS minutes. At about 9:40 ajn., the power went off completely for almost two hours, Swaason siid, after which power prtJaSy was restored. Verne Traudt, UNL manager of utilities, said the uni versity had to drop power when Lincoln Electric System (LES) was switching a circuit breaker at the 2nd St. sub station. The switching caused unintentional power outages ia the western half of Lincoln, he said. ' After the switching was completed, the sudden surge of power caused the Union's transformer to blow up, Traudt said. - The lack of power caused the Harvest Room, Colonial Room and Gateway Bank to close. After 9:30 am only the North Crib was serving food. s Swanson said the Union has three transformers, but only two were operational by noon. A new transformer was installed at about 3:30 pm, but Union electricity was shut off for half an hour during installation, Traudt said.' ' East Campus was without steam for two hours in the morning because of the power loss, he said. Work was complicated further by an East Campus water main which broke. ' As far east as 27th St. and Pioneer Bhrdn Lincoln was in the dark for a few minute on two different occasions, according to an LES spokesman. The blow-up caused no damage to Nebraska Union, Swanson said, and losses because of lack of refrigeration have not yet been estimated. o no o n o By LizCruriby The' majority of sorority and fraternity presidents who received a Greek slats, which endorsed candidates for to day's ASUN elsctiaa, said they are going to leave it up to individual house members to vets the way thsy want.
