By Barb Richardson
. An official of the firm which might conduct a survey
of UNL students about their needs in the Nebraska Union,
met l-'riday with administration, student and Union repre
sentatives. Gary Lorenen. of Selection Research Inc.. explained
SRl's survey proposal to Richard Armstrong, vice chancel
lor of student affairs; Mike Gibson, chairman of the Vice
Chancellor's Task Force on Nebraska Union Services and
Facilities; Jane Baack assistant dean of students; Allen
Bennett, director of the Nebraska Union and Daryl Swan
son, Nebraska Fast Union manager.
According to Gibson. Armstrong has made an informal
agreement with SRI to survey UNL students about the
needs of the union. The 25-question telephone survey will
cost $9,750.
Different groups include
Lorenzen explained that SRI will interview 580 stu
dents. Interviews with 30 minority students and 50
foreign students will be included.
Lorenzen said the interviews with the minority and
foreign students will be conducted to compare their con
cerns with those of the other students. The number of
these interviews is proportionate to the number of minor
ity and foreign students in the student body, he said.

Lorenen recommended that 30 Last Campus students
be interviewed to compare the city campus union users to
the east union users.
Baack asked Lorenzen if "500 interviews out of 2200
students will be enough" to determine the student body's
opinion on the union.
"The total results of 500 interviews will be accurate
within plus or minus 5 percent," Lorenen said. If more
students are interviewed the accuracy of the survey would
only increase by l percent, he added.
Short interviews best
Lorenen explained the task force will pay for the
interviews by the minute and not by the questions. Pay
ing by the minute allows the group to ask more short
questions, he said.
"To be realistic, the reason for putting a constraint on
the questions is for the students," Lorenen said. People
tend to lose interest in a survey if it takes more than 15
minutes to conduct, he added.
Baack inquired about the possibility of doing the
survey by mail rather than by telephone.
Lorenen said mail surveys are not recommended for
students because of the low response rate. The time limit
which says that the survey must be complete by the begin
ning of April would cause problems, he added.
"Mail surveys usually bring out bad or critical respon
ses," Lorenen said, because the people who are dis
satisfied are more likely to respond to the survey than the
people who are satisfied.
Faculty survey postponed
A faculty survey was also discussed by the group.
"The judgment to de-emphasize the faculty aspect of
the survey was mine." Armstrong said. He said not enough
money was allocated to be able to include the faculty in
the survey.
Lorenen said that a telephone survey of 100 faculty
members would cost S3. 200 and a survey of 200 faculty
members would cost S4.200.
"I think we could do the faculty survey ourselves."
said Baack.
Bennett said the faculty is important to the survey be
cause "they generate up to 40-50 percent gross use of the
Union facilities."
Because of the time limit, the group decided to post
pone the faculty survey until after the student survey is
started.
Gibson submitted to the group a list of questions the
task force would like to see in the interview. He said that
the questions are open to changes.
Lorenen agreed to look over the questions and com
ment on them Tuesday when the group will meet again.
