CONTINUED FROM PACE 1 Wright, who is in favor of the R Street location for the center, thinks the site is the best one out of 3 spots considered. He said the current alumni building was constructed in 1929 or 1930 that it has probably worn out. Wright also said that the newer faculty club structure was "never intended to be a permanent type of building." He said the faculty club structure is made of concrete block and the roof was meant to hold up for only five or ten years. Wright said the Center for Great Plains Studies would not have been happy with the facility because the build ing is not suited to house the John Christlieb collection of Western Paintings which the center is in charge of. There wouldn't be the proper temperature and humidity control (needed for the paintings)," Wright said.

According to Wessels, the university could "at least have considered as a possibility" the rental of the build ings or have charged more for sale of the land and build ings to the Alumni Association. Financial pinch She said because the university is in a financial pinch, she doesn't understand why they gave the R Street prop erty to the association practically for free. As an example of lack of UNL funds, Wessels pointed out that Centennial College on the campus will now have to close.

Wessels said the favored site for the alumni center across from Morrill Hall on the University .Mall because student parking was not affected and the location near the football stadium was good. Although she had reservations about the R Street lo cation for the alumni center, Wessels said she has nothing against the Alumni Association. 'The Alumni Association is a tremendous asset to the campus," she said. Her colleague on the Central Planning Committee Gerald Woo, said he is in favor of the R Street location' "I think it's the best choice considering the circuml stances," he said. Woo said he regretted the present alumni center will have to torn down but thought that it would be difficult on the association to heat and renovate the present build ing.
