Nebraska Union to close over Labor Day weekend
A motion to close the Nebraska Union during Labor
Day weekend next fall wan passed at Wednesday evening's
Union Board meeting.
Robert Moline, chairman of the Operations Commit,
tee, said in a proposal to the Union Board that the union
was not making enough money in sales or getting enough
student traffic during the holiday to warrant keeping the
building open.
The proposal stated that in 1979 during Labor Day the
union made $14 in sales on Sunday and $6 on Monday.
In 1980, the union was open only on the Sunday of Labor
Day weekend and total sales were $ 1 1 ,08. Union expenses
remained fixed during that weekend.
Union director Darvl Swanson said that even on d.ivs
that the Union is closed, students who need the building
for a function or students groups who need to get into
their offices would be able to do so:
The board discussed the possibility of using union
funds to buy materials for the replacement of the paint
ings in the South Crib and using a $500 endowment from
a UNL alumnus as a reward for the students who would
paint the pictures.
"We checked into it," Moline said, "and we figured
that it would take about $400 in union funds to pay tor
the materials.'
Union Director Daryl Swanson said that the adminis
trator of the alumnus' estate would have to be consulted
as to the stipulations on the ue of the endowment, which
was given to the union for "the purchase of a piece of
needed equipment.
The Operations Committee also agreed to look into
how students would be selected to paint the paintings
Larry Williams, residence director of Cather Hall was
introduced as Vice-Chancellor for student affairs Richard
Armstrong's appointee to the Union Board Plannine
Committee.
Two students from the College of Architecture, Larry
Nagaki and Craig Ellis, were announced as new appointees
to the planning committee.
John Kelly was announced as the Interfraternity Coun
cil representative, and Carrie Christensen was announced
as the Pan-Hellenic representative.
