Union staff may take action on proposed renovations
By Georgene Cetak
If the Nebraska Union Board does not
take action on proposed Union renovations
by late summer or early fall the Union
staff will take the initial steps, said Al Ben
net, director of the Unions.
At the April 12 Union Board meeting
Bennet suggested that a long-range plan
ning task force be set up this summer. The
task force would work on possible surveys
to present to students to determine opin
ions on such Union additions as a delica
tessen, travel agency, variety store and
plant shop, as well as a candy and ice
cream addition to the bakery.
Bennett withdrew a request at the meet
ing to reallocate funds in the bond equip
ment replacement fund, which might have
financed the projects.
risk not having the project complete by
fall.
Plans will continue this summer for
renovation of the Harvest room entry, a
project already approved by the Union
Board.
Regent Ed Schwartzkopf of Lincoln
said the request would have to have been
submitted in time to go to the regents'
business affairs subcommittee before being
placed on the agenda. Schwartzkopf said
he was not aware of the reallocation
request until he read about the withdrawal
proposal in the Daily Nebraskan.
Requests dealing with the Unions must
be submitted first to the vice chancellor for
student affairs, then to the regents two
weeks before the meetings, according to
Richard Armstrong, UNL vice chancellor
for student affairs.
"Because of my own schedule, I was un
able to deal with it," Armstrong said.
The proposals for building additions and
possible rental space, including moving the
barber shop from the basement to the sec
ond floor of the Union, have been discus
sed by the Union Board several times.
The proposals drew protest in two of
three open hearings.
The major argument presented by pro
testers was that students had not been sur
veyed on the projects. Bennett suggested to
the board that the planning task force be
set up to determine student opinions on
the projects.
Marc Davies, operations committee
chairman, said the board has considered in
cluding a survey in student registration packets.
Fee proposal among items
on regents meeting agenda
In withdrawing the request, Bennett Armstrong said he received the request

J-Mander's New Book

227 No. 11th
A proposal to shift some students fees
money from Fund A to Fund B is among
the issues to be discussed at Saturday's
NU Board of Regents meeting.
The board will meet at 9:30 a.m. in
Regent's Hall.
Since campus speakers no longer will be
funded through student fees, money pre
viously used for that purpose will be
diverted to Fund B, according to the
administration's plan.
At the February regents meeting, the
board decided to end student fee funding
of campus speakers.
The board also is expected to act on
recommendations to extend tenure to 51
UNL instructors and 1 6 instructors at the
University of Nebraska at Omaha.
Under the plan, persons recommended
for tenure, effective at the beginning of
the academic year or fiscal year 1979-80,
will hold one-year contracts for the
1978-79 year.
The board will consider a proposal to
increase the rent for Love Memorial Co-op,
Park Apartments and Colonial Terrace
Apartments.
The administration recommended a $20
a year per student increase for Love
Memorial Co-op, a $5 a month increase for
families in Park Apartments and a $5
increase a month at Colonial Terrace
Apartments.
The suggested rates will help meet
operating costs, improvements and debt
service, according to the plan.
The new rates will remain competitive
with others charged in Lincoln, according
to the administration.
The regents also are scheduled to hear a
request to rescind approval of UNO's
student government constitution of
February 1978, and recognize the previous
ly approved 1975 constitution.
A new UNO student government con
stitution now is in the planning stages.
Until it is finished, the student govern
ment is asking to continue operating under
previous laws.
Also to be considered at Saturday's
meeting is a request by the University of
Nebraska Medical Center that the regents
accept a bid by the Hewlett-Packard Co.
for patient-monitoring equipment at the
hospital.
The current bid stands at $194,074.30.
The original estimate was $192,100.00.
The funds are to be drawn from the hos
pital capital equipment account.
APP
ropriation was incorrect
The Daily Nebraskan incorrectly report
ed Thursday that Gov. J. J. Exon had
vetoed $85,000 of the Nebraska Legisla
ture's appropriations for NU miscellaneous
renovations, utility improvements and land
purchases.
The sentence should have read that
Exon vetoed $485,900 of those appropria
tions. The Legislature did not override
those vetoes.
