The new Nebraska East Union opens
today on East Campus, 18 months after
groundbreaking and following several
years of discussion about it.
It is one of the first university buildings
to be constructed on schedule, said Daryl
Swanson, associate director of the Neb
raska Union who will manage the new
building.
"We attempted to name all the rooms in
the union in tune with the tone of the East
Campus," said Tony Warner, programming
and recreation director.
In the new Union students and faculty
may eat under the "Cloud," play pool,
pinball or bowl in the "North 40," watch
movies and listen to speakers in the
"Prairie" and read in the "Loft",
The parallelogram-shaped building has
student and administrative offices on the
.third floor, food service for Burr-Fedde
residence hall occupants and the public,
study areas, lounge and recreation areas,
banquet, meeting .and entertainment
rooms, a bookstore, classroom and offices
for the UNL Department of Foods and
Nutrition.
Swanson said, "If there was ever an .
1 NEW STORE HOURS
ovar-pr.rd facility, this is it."
When construction began, he said, the
projected East Campus population for
19S0 was 4,000 students. However, that
figure was surpassed in 1976, he said.
The building cost $4.34 million, with
$3.8 million of the total in construction
costs and the remainder in equipment,
Swanson said.
The building has been paid for out of a
surplus available in the bond reserve fund,
but all money must be paid back, Swanson
said. Student fees for the next 35 years will
be used to pay back the bonds at the rate
of $3.50 per semester per student, beginn
ing in fall 1977, he said. Students will pay
$2.50 each for operation beginning this
semester. .
Seven student organizations were
chosen from 80 or 90 applications for
office space in the East Union. Offices will
be provided on a yearly basis with space
provided for the following NU organiza
tions this year: 4-H Club, Block and Bridle
Club, the Rodeo Association, Alpha
Zeta agriculture honorary, Horticulture
Club, Agronomy Qub and the American
Home Economics Association,
