The recent surge of renovation in the
Nebraska Union finally has reached the
South Crib.
Steve Althouse, chairman of the Union
Board's planning committee, presented a
program statement for the Crib's
renovation at the board's biweekly meeting
Wednesday night.
"We like the way the Crib is functioning
now," Althouse said, "and we want to
keep that function. But we want to
improve it as a service to the student."
Under the renovation statement, all
the furnishing and structures would be
removed and replaced with multipurpose
and flexible furniture. The ceiling would
be lowered and additional lighting added
for the study areas and stage and a
speaker system for music and public
address installed.
The NU Board of Regents approved
$187,500 for the Crib renovation in a bond
issue three weeks ago. Althouse said speci
fic changes would be worked out during
the committee s meetings this tall.
In other action, the board tabled a
motion to purchase one or more electron
ic message boards.'
The 99-inch long message boards are
made available to college unions by the
electronic News Network of Dallas.
Since the company makes its money
from the advertisements, the only cost to
the unions is $6 per month for electricity.
Calling "just another piece of glitter,"
board member Robert Stowers said the 3-1
ratio between the ads and the union
announcements was not that good a deal."
Board President Laura Meyer said she
also was concerned about the flashing
lights inside the buildings, but suggested
obtaining the signs for the trial period
offered by the company. A discrepancy
about the trial period led to the motion's
tabling.
The board also discussed the food ser
vice income from the fiscal year that ended
in August of 1982.
Experience as researcher
gives student career insight
By Kathleen Green
UNL student Suzanne Viessman has
taken a stab at working as a researcher.
Viessman interned last semester and
this summer at the Argonne National
Laboratory, located 25 miles southwest
of Chicago.
Viesman, a senior geography major,
worked during the spring researching the
effects of sulfur dioxide and sulfates on
grape production in New York state.
During the summer, Viessman did re
search on the effects of acid rain.
She said she applied for the intern
ship last fall through the UNL Experien
tial Learning Program, which provides
contacts with local and national agencies.
"It's like applying for grad school,"
she said.
An application, her reasons for apply
ing and letters of recommendation were
sent to Argonne.
On Jan. 11, Viessman began research
lasting 16 weeks. Working 40 hours a
week in the lab for S700, excluding
housing and expenses, she was required
to write two papers summarizing her
project. Viessman was supervised through
out the internship, but became more in
dependent as her project progressed.
Staring from scratch, she made phone
calls, collected data and made analyses.
She said she decided to start a whole new
project that had not been researched be
fore so she could watch the data develop
from beginning to end.
Viessman said her internship was a
great way to see what research is like and
also expose her to the procedures of
working in a lab Lab time is a break
away from the classroom, a chance to
stretch one's mind, build confidences
and apply knowledge, she said.
Although college is essential for a
certain knowledge, "I was only prepared
to some extent. 1 had never dealt with
pollution, and the literature about it was
all new," she said.
Concluding her studies, Viessman said
she found that acid rain "has no signifi
cant effect unless the sulfur dioxide
mixes with other pollutants in the atmo
sophere." She submitted a 10-page research paper
at the end of her project stating the data,
analysis and results.
After a two-week break. Viessman
was granted an extension at the labor!- f
tories as a temporary employee for the
summer.
"I must have been at the right place
at the right time to get a position, be
cause many programs have either been
ended or cut because of the Reagan ad
ministration and budget cuts," she said.
As a temporary employee, Viessman
said, she basically did the same things
as before, but was not required to hand
in any papers.
"I would recommend an internship
to anyone, even if they have only a lit
tle bit of interest. At least they should
try. Meeting people and sharing with other
students was most exciting," she said.
"Once you've got your foot in the
door, it's a lot easier to get in," she said.
An internship is extremely helpful and
looks good on a resume, she added.

A Guaranteed GOOD TIME
Correction
In Thursday's Daily Nebraskan it was incorrectly
reported that Nebraska Hall closes at 1 1 p.m. Only the
library and computer rooms on the third floor close at
that time. The rest of Nebraska Hall is open 24 hours.
Visitors to the building must check in and out with a
security guard.
The ASUN Senate passed a resolution Wednesday sup
porting longer hours for the library and computer rooms.
