Landmark facelift plan
saves original buildings
niML's Architectural Hall will be re
modeled, although the existing structure
will not be changed at all.
Built in 1894, Architectural Hall is on
the National Register for Historic Places,
which means if federal money is used for
remodeling, there must be protection of
the original, according to W. Cecil Steward,
dean of the College of Architecture.
Remodeling plans show the new build
ing built around the existing Former Law
building. The plans were drawn by Lin
coln architectural firm Bahr, Vermeer and
Haecker.
The firm won a $25,000 contest to de
sign the addition and received $4,000 for
their winning design. Money for the
contest was appropriated by the Nebraska
Legislature. Architectural Hall is being re
modeled because of a lack of research
space, faculty office space, library space
and a shortage of studios for its 550
students.
"I'm very pleased with the outcome of
the (design) competition," Steward said.
"It is a superb proposal, realistic, economi
cal, a teaching tool in itself."
Construction will begin in September,
1979, at the earliest, Steward said. That
would be 85 years after Architecture Hall
was-built.
He declined to estimate what the .budget
would be but said a brand new structure
would cost around $ 1 4 million .
Remodeling cost will be much less be
cause instead of tearing down Architecture
Hall and Former Law, they will be used in
the final structure, Steward said.

Semester's start heightens landlord-tenant disputes
By Gail Reid
With the beginning of a new semester
and students moving into apartments,
landlord-tenant friction is at its peak.
According to Robert Lange, Student
Legal Services attorney, students have
more problems with the landlords at the
beginning and the end of the semester
when they are moving in or out.
Problems arise from misunderstandings
about leases, poor maintenance of the
apartment, loss of a student's security
deposit or short notice by students when
they move out, Lange said.
One student said she thought any
trouble she had with her landlord was be
cause she was young. Pam Steinmiller, 21,
said any delays in returning her deposit
were because she was inexperienced and
could not demand the return of her
deposit. The deposit was not returned for
more than a month, the speech pathology
major said.
Another student, who asked not to be
identified, said she thought her landlord
took advantage of her. The landlord did
not pay her utility bill as agreed; however,
the woman said she could not afford a
court battle.
Before renting an apartment students
can protect themselves by inspecting the
apartment thoroughly, making a list of
defects, dating it and having the landlord
sign it. That way, the landlord will know
which damages occurred before the new
tenant moved in, Lange said.
A student also should inspect the lease
and understand what it says before signing
it. Oral agreements should not be relied
upon, but should be written into the lease,
Lange said.
Once a student is moved in, the landlord
has almost total control, he said. The land
lord can kick someone out if they have
not paid their rent or withhold the deposit
for damages.
However, there are legal procedures a
student can make use of. If a landlord
does not repair any material thing in the
apartment within 14 days of being notified
by letter, the student can move out of the
apartment 30 days after the letter was re
ceived by the landlord without any loss of
revenue, Lange said.
Legally, a deposit must be returned
within 14 days "after the tenant has moved
out if the landlord knows where to send it,
he said. Students who do not receive their
deposits may take the landlord to civil
court and sue.
Lawyers are available to students at
Student Legal Services to make phone
puzzle.
