Builders to beef up membership
By Kathy McAuliffe
Despite a declining membership, NU Builders expect to
have the Buzz Book, a studentfaculty directory, ready by
the third week in October, said Builders member and
senior law student Clay Statmore. The Builders is a stu
dent service organization over 30 years old which is ded
icated to building a better university.
"The Buzz Book will not go down the drain,"
Statmore said.
He has concluded that he is the organization's only ac
tive member because other members have graduated or
left Lincoln and there have been no yearly officer elec
tions since December, 1976.
Statmore attributes the declining Builders membership
to apathy.
"Back in the 60s, people were active irr everything," he
said. Builders, at that time, was an "in" group to belong
to, and sponsored a variety of service oriented projects.
Gradually, other groups took over the activities of the
Builders, and it became more difficult to hold the organ
ization together, he said.
"One problem in keeping people in an organization is
you need something to do," Statmore said.
Redcoats also a part
In addition to the publication of the Buzz Book,
Builders past projects included visits to Nebraska high
schools by Builders members and campus tcurs led by the
Redcoats, a Builders committee.
However, current lack of organization has led Statmore
to conclude that these activities no longer exist.
According to former Builders member Mary Jo Pitzl,
who has helped Statmore publish the Buzz Book for the
past two years, the Redcoats probably have been most ac
tive because of "the appeal of the kind of work that they
do." People aren't really aware of the other activities of
the organization, she said.
In order to continue the Buzz Book project in future
KING JEDS cordially invites YOU,
the students of N.U., to its annual gala of Super Savings . . .

COME IN AND SEE LINCOLN'S
BIGGEST SUPPLER OF LEWS
Underneath Douglas III at 13th & P
years, Pitzl said, either the Builders must be revived, or
another organization must take on the project.
Another problem within the organization is an unused
scholarship fund, she said. The fund is financed through
profits from the sale of the Buzz Book.
"They (scholarships) haven't been given out for
the past two years because of poor leadership," she said.
"The scholarship money hasn't been awarded, but it's
still accumulating interest."
However, Statmore cited a slump in the sale of Buzz
books in past years and a desire to build up the fund to a
level where five $100 scholarships can be awarded ex
clusively from interest earned as reasons for not awarding
Builders scholarships.
Reorganization plans
Statmore added that he has plans to reorganize
Builders. Continuing the Buzz Book "is a must," he said.
A general university information book which would com
bine the current NU Book and the residence hall booklet,
as well as other information pertaining to students is
another of his ideas, he said. Statmore said he also would
support reintroducing the Redcoats and an activities mart
for new students at the beginning of each semester.
Another problem with Builders was the lack of a paid
faculty director, he said.
"It takes leadership like that which you can always
depend on," he explained.
In order to revive Builders, Statmore said he will begin
to recruit new members through Daily Nebraskan adver
tisements and letters to Greek houses.
Bob Van Neste, assistant director of the Office of Uni
versity Information, called Builders "a whale of a good
organization," and added, "I'd like to get it going again."
Problems also have arisen since the death of the last
elected Builder's president, Eric Reid, in a plane crash tins
summer, he said.
"When Eric was killed, it was, of course, a tragedy
itself," Van Neste said. "But well have to get reorgan
ized." Despite all these organizational problems, Statmore
was enthusiastic about additions to this year's Buzz Book.
In addition to the student names, phone numbers and
addresses, the Buzz Book will contain a cross reference
between dormitory room numbers and phone numbers.
A copy of the east campus bus schedule also will be in
cluded, he said.
New phone features
offered to customers
Telephone customers on the 474 and 475 exchanges
can obtain four new convenience features from Lincoln
Telephone and Telegraph.
The four features, known as Custom Calling, are avail
able to those exchanges serviced by the phone company's
computerized electronic switching system, according to
Dick Nealy of LT&T.
The four features are:
Call Forwarding-which allows a customer to have his
calls forwarded to another number by dialing a code and
the number to where the calls are to be sent.
Speed Calling-a "short cut way to dial people you talk
to quite frequently" by precoding numbers and then
dialing 1 or 2 digits to reach those numbers.
Call Waiting-provides a short tone to indicate an incom
ing call while the phone is being used on another call. The
person using the phone can then place his first caller on
hold, talk to the second caller and then resume his first
conversation.
3 Way Calling-allows 3 parties to participate in a single
call.
All the services can be used locally or for long distance
calls or forwarding, Nealy said.
Each service is available for $1.50 a month. The $1.50
charge provides eight numbers on the speed dialing ser
vice. Thirty number speed-dialing is available for $3.00.
Package service is available with any three services for
$3.75 a month, or all four for $5.00 a month with eight
numbers or $6.25 for 30 numbers, Nealy said.
Nealy said some customers on the 474 and 475
exchanges will not be able to obtain these services because
of equipment they use.
But, he said the equipment could be changed so the
person could get service.
Nealy said customers who obtain the service are not
charged an installment fee as the changes are made on the
centralized switching system.
Postal reward offered
The U.S. Postal Office offers a reward leading to
the identification and arrest of person or persons involved
in the vandalism and theft from the Self-Service Postal
Unit located at 14th and U Streets, on the city campus.
Information on this subject should be relayed to Robert
Dixon, Postal Inspector, Room 314, Main Post Office.
700 R Street, or phone 471 -51 72.
