UNL to evaluate vehicle policy
By Alice Hrnicek
UNL administrators and the ASUN Campus Life
Committee decided Thursday to look into the Automob
ile Rental Pool's policy on renting university vehicles
to student organizations. A group recently was denied
access to a van for a New Orleans trip.
The UNL chapter of the National Agri-Marketing
Association asked the CAP office for permission to rent
a van starting Thursday for their trip, said Ennio Que
vedo, activities director for Campus Activites and Pro
grams. After being told the rental would be approved once
the group had enough money, Que vedo said, the members
had a fund drive to raise the money.
But after the fund drive, they were told that student
groups could not rent vehicles because the auto pool
was questioning a legislative amendment that might
increase the liabUtiy of the university.
Members of the group were enroute to New Orleans
and unable to comment.
University policy since 1976 does not allow students
to rent vehicles unless they are university employees and
the use is work-related, Quevedo said.
However, student groups have been renting vehicles
through the auspice of the Nebraska Unions, he added.
Roy Loudon, administrator of personnel and risk
management, said he is formulating a policy to address
the issue. The present policy may change because of the
amendment, he said, but he did not know how soon
he would finish it.
The state's guest statute law previously required
guest riders to prove gross negligence or intoxication
on the part of the driver to recover injury in case of
accident.
With the passage this year of LB54, riders would have
to prove only ordinary negligence instead of gross negli
gence, said Ron Sedlacek, legal counsel for Sen. John
DeCamp of Neligh who introduced the amendment.
The amendment also denies close relatives of a driver
the right to recover damages, Sedlacek said.
The negligence change could increase the chances of
liability by ihe university if it rents vehicles out to stu
dents, he said.
After meeting with UNL administrators and other
ASUN members, Nancee Shannon, chairperson of the
ASUN campus life committee, labeled the isse "very
confusing."
"We can't pinpoint the problem. So much research
has to be done," she said.
Richard Armstrong, vice chancellor for student affairs,
said he knew too little about the policy to have a "sub
stantial response."
"I am concerned that this condition (the question
of liability) exists, and I want to look for it," Armstrong
said.

slated to open
January 1982
If you are the sentiment
alist type and want to
savor the last few moments
of a long-standing union
food service, time is running
out.
The Crib will close itsN
doors May 7, and when they
reopen in January, 1982,
the entire scene will have
changed along with the
name (to Union Square).
"We don't have a time
set for construction of the
North Crib," said union
director Daryi Swanson.
"We still need to com
plete the design, and put
it out for our bidders.
I hope it's possible the
actual construction will be
gin by June," Swanson said.
The current Crib attracts
about 1,500 to 2,000 cust
omers a day, which isn't
enough, Swanson said.
The remodeled area will
change the service into a
fast food center, which
will "serve people quickly
and move them on," Swan
son said.
The closing of The Crib
is the only new thing a
student can expect to see
about the Union next year.
Until it reopens, a short
lunch line will be set up in
the South Crib, which shall
remain untouched.
Also, to help with the
overflow of students who
are used to using the Crib
for studying or conversat
ion, the Harvest Rooms'
hours will be altered to
accommodate these people.
Swanson added that the
time between the beginn
ing plans for Union Square
and the actual implementat
ion of it has passed rather
quickly.
This is as fast as any
thing gets done around
here," Swanson said.
