Union's Crib, game room get cosmetic surgery
- " . 1
By Mary Jo Howe
With a fresh coat of paint here and new lighting there;
parts of the Nebraska Union underwent a shape-up pro
gram this summer.
Renovations took place in the North Crib, basement
game room and the third floor International Educational
Service (IES) office.
The Crib was sparked up with an increased lighting
level, two bay windows and an enlarged cash register
area. : . . . .
"The idea is to open up the area-get rid of that feeling
of claustrophobia," said Union Director Al Bennett.
One of the major problems with The Crib, he said is
that it is largely hidden by walls and partitions. The
windows will help solve this problem, he said.
Inside, the ceiling was repaired and painted white and
.the lighting level was increased with new bulbs.
Other changes made at The Crib were in response to
questionnaires circulated among its customers last spring.
Dirty tables was a common complaint on the question
naires, Bennett said, so a self -busing service will start this
fall.
Two self-busing stations were built, one in the North
Crib and one in the South. Patrons will be encouraged to
pick up after themselves.
The same number of busboys will be employed this
year as last, Bennett said, but with self-busing there should
be better control over the tables.
In addition, the cash register area was widened to
handle wheelchairs and handicapped persons. The new
arrangement also was installed to close off the area. It
. ! I 1
will act as a sound, heat and cooling barrier, Bennett said;
A hew glass partition replaces the part-glass, part
panel partition between the game room and the entrance.
On third floor, a wood and glass partition replaces the
temporary area partitions in the IES office.
Bennett said the renovation cost will not be known
until all the bills are in, but he estimated it will be about
$45,000. The renovations are paid for by the bond reserve
fund, Bennett said.
The bond reserve is money left after paying the
Union's indebtedness from student fees.
Bennett said next year's projects may include a new
handicapped .entrance, delicatessen and renovating the
small auditorium.
