The Nebraska Union is scheduled to undergo several
modifications within the next year intended to Im
prove the building's efficiency.
The NU Board of Regents approved a $160,000
matching fund at their July 25 th meeting that will be
used to insulate the roof of the original building, mo
dify the kitchen hoods, and replace windows in both
building sections with double-glazed units.
"Our building was audited last spring, and it con
firmed the need for energy conservation here' said
Union director Daryl Swanson.
"When the energy crisis came along, we went
around and removed the most wasteful things like
everyone else. Now we're going to take care of the
smaller things, and start paying more attention to how
much energy we're uning. " he added
The recommendations made by the Professional
Engineering Co. of Omaha included changing the air
ventilation from the existing double-duct, constant
volume system to a single-duct, variable-volume
system. That would have rup up the cost of renova
tions to $604,900.Without it the cost is slightly under
$300,000.
"The air ventilation system needs some work, and
we'd like to eventually get around to it, but we would
be very hard-pressed to come up with a half million
dollars," Swanson said.
"We would rather go ahead with the other four
recommendations right now. The university and my.
self have been interested in changing these windows in
the front for aesthetic reasons for quite some time
now."
The University allocations and pending federal
funds of between $130,000 and $140,000 chould
cover the costs of the project, although if the federal
grant is too small one of the four projects could be in
jeapordy, Swanson said.
"This is a classic example of spending money to
makemoney," Swanson said. "We expect the payback
on these modifications to start in seven years."
This semester marks the first full school term where
the union is responsible for its own utilities. Although
this does not automatically mean prices will go up, en
ergy saving measures are needed because of it, Swanson
said.

Local Sierra Club
collects signatures for
national petition
The Sierra Club is sponsoring a national petition drive
protesting the policies of James Watt, UJS. secretary
of the interior.
Natalie McClendon, chairperson ot the local Kluestem
Sierra Club, said the club plans to send Congress a petition
containing one million signatures. The petition calls for
Watt's resignation.
"The petition is to protest the policies of James Watt,
which are essentially those of the Reagan administration,''
McClendon said.
The number of signatures collected in the Lincoln area
is unknown, but about 750,000 have been collected
nationwide, she said. Friends of the Earth and The Nat
ional Wildlife Federation are other groups supporting the
Sierra Club's effort.
"This petition is intended to demonstrate to the Presi
dent and Congress our sentiment toward the policies of
Watt and the administration," McClendon said. She said
one of Watt's most damaging proposals is discontinuing
the acquisition of land for national parks. She said this
will allow over-commercialization of existing parks and
prevent the establishing of new parks.
