Fiind deficit closes Faculty Ctab cafeteria
By Kent Wameke
The UNL Faculty Club will end its cafeteria services in
the Alumni House Dec. 14 because of a lack of funds, the
president of the club said.
Donald Pierce said he believes there are many reasons
why the Faculty Club is no longer able to get sufficient
funds to keep its current five day a week noon meal facili
ties. 4There is obviously competition, because people like
to eat at different places," Pierce said. vBut also, with
prices of food increasing, the number of brown-baggers
has increased tremendously. And also quite a few faculty
and staff members have started using their lunch hours for
athletic type of activities."
The Faculty Club began in the early 1950s with a
faculty dining room on the second floor of the Nebraska
Union, with the purpose of sponsoring fellowship and
good food, Pierce said.
"It is an invaluable thing to be able to interchange
ideas with other faculty members, not just in your own
department, but also in other departments " Pierce said.
MEMBERSHIP IN THE CLUB has been limited to
members of the UNL faculty. In the late 1950s, the club
moved to the basement of the Alumni Association House,
he said; ' ... ' - ,-.
A cafeteria-type line existed for several years, but with
the food standards increasing, the need to move out of the
basement became apparent with drawbacks in food pre
paration. Fierce said, j
Pierce said it was about then .that the university added
to the back of the Alumni House, partially financed by
donations through the UNL Foundation by faculty mem
bers. "Student union personnel was then put into use at the
Faculty Club, up until this current year, when they found
that they were not making any money with food prices
increasing," Pierce said.
"They asked to withdraw their support from our pro
gram at that time," Pierce said. "And we have been
unsuccessful since that time to run a financially solvent
operation."
PIERCE SAID many things were done in an attempt to
increase membership in the Faculty Club and increase use
of the cafeteria.
"We had a membership drive to try and get more UNL
faculty members to become members and consequently
pay their $24 a year dues," Pierce said. "And we tried to
work out parkins pioblermv so-East Campus personnel
" could easily eat here, in addition to all of the personal
talking current members have done."
' All university staff; can' use ,the Faculty dub, and
according to Pierce an average of 100 persons used to eat
at every meal offered by the club. Now the average is
down to 75, at its, best.
Membership numbers also are down considerably from
a high of 300 to the present 150 members, Pierce said.
Pierce said the Faculty Club will remain an organiza
tion even after the Dec. 14 closing, in hope the cafeteria
can ooenaeain . ,
"For right now, we have talked to Daryl Swanson
director or'tne iNeorasica unions, 10 see if we could work
anything out with union facilities. But at this time, it
doesn't look like" anything will really work out," Pierce
said.
Pierce added that he believes the Alumni Association
will make use of the cafeteria after the closing until its
new facilities are ready.
'This is putting an end to a very enjoyable experience,
the meeting together of UNL faculty and staff members'
and we have had a small, but faithful group through the
years," Pierce said.
