Lounges in the residence halls will be crowded with temporarily assigned students, so the rest of the floor will
give up watching television in the lounge for part of the fall semester.

Deb Leake and Carol Robinson are roommates. They
have another roommate, too, and expect two more before
classes start. They are temporarily living in a lounge on
Schramm Hall's seventh floor.
There are several things that set their living quarters
apart from the other residents. There is no window and no
mirror. Clothes are hung on metal racks along one wall,
and shoes are neatly lined up underneath. The room does
have desks and dressers, but the girls still need to keep
some of their belongings in suitcases for lack of storage
space.
Not having a window seems to bother the girls the
most.
"When I woke up this morning, I didn't know if it was
five or what," said Robinson, a sophomore from Blair.
It's hard to know what to wear when you can't tell
what the weather's like, added Leake, a freshman from
Ogallala.
Lounge not bad
But despite all of the obvious inconveniences, the girls
really don't seem to mind living in a lounge that much.
"I'm just glad I've got a room," Leake said.
There even seem to be some advantages of living in a
lounge. Robinson optimistically pointed out that they
have carpeting and a lot of extra space.
Coralie Clapham, a freshman from Fremont, said she
doesn't really mind where she's living either. She is one of
two girls living in a lounge in Selleck. Their quarters are
a little more cramped than those in Schramm.
"If we could just find someplace to put this," she said,
grabbing onto a metal rack of clothes. They would like to
rearrange the room, but the amount of furniture limits the
possibilities.
"I don't know what it's like to be in a regular room,"
she said, so living in a lounge doesn't seem so bad.
The residents in regular rooms are far from happy
about having their lounges occupied, but they seem to be
sympathetic with the temporary residents.
Goodbye television
"There's a lot of 'where's our television?'" said Mary
Foley, student assistant on Robinson and Leake's floor.
"They don't like people in the lounge because it takes
away the TV and it's the gathering place for people to get
to know each other," said Renita Jensen, a Selleck
student assistant. But the other girls on the floor realize
that it's not the temporary resident's fault and don't
take it out on her, Jensen said.
Robinson, Leake, and Clapham ?re among more than
150 women and 90 men assigned to temporary housing in
residence hall lounges at UNL.
"It's my belief that men will be out by Oct. 1," said
Doug Zatechka, director of housing at UNL, but he didn't
know when the women in temporary rooms would be out.
Moving out
Although she would like to get out of her cramped
room, Clapham said, "I asked if I could stay in Selleck."
The idea of moving to another housing complex in the
middle of a semester does not seem too appealing to
Robinson and Leake either. They would like to rent a
refrigerator together, but neither knows hdw long they
will stay there. They would even like to room together
after moving.
Jensen, a senior, was in temporary housing when she
was a freshman. In the middle of a semester, she moved to
a new floor.
Friends established
"When they move on to new floors, friends will have
already been established," she said. "Whiie you're in
temporary, it's not a problem because everybody else is
new too."
Zatechka said that for more than five years, he's been
reading reports that college enrollment should be declin
ing but "I haven't seen it happen."
