Requests for an increased Nebraska Union budget
and plans for a new culture center were presented Wed
nesday at the Union Board's first spring semester meet
ing. The union budget request includes increases in univer
sity program facilities and fees requests - $154,925
for union utilities, $23,225 for reduced net income,
$12,400 for employee health insurance increases, $5,757
for student and staff labor increases and $3,656 for
operating expenses increases.
The student programs fees request to cover the pro
jected 1982-83 net loss is $20,340, while $13,173 is
budgeted to cover additional operating expenses for a
new culture center.
Requested student program fee increases totaled
$233,476, equaling a fee increase of $5.02 per student.
The unions had decreased their fee request the past five
years, but the utilities, which the unions will pay 45
percent of next fall, added $3.33 to student fees.
Of the seven increase areas, only the culture center
question was debated at Wednesday's meeting. Finance
Committee Chairman Tim O'Keeffe suggested a new
building be considered before passing the request.
"We've all been to the Culture Center, and we know
we need a new one," O'Keeffe said. O'Keeffe added that
a little more money would be spent on a new structure,
but a much better job could be done.
The existing Culture Center, 1012 N. 16th St., was
evaluated by the university Physical Plant two years
ago and judged to be an adequate structure, unfit for
modification. Last spring, a task force was appointed to
find a new site for the center that would be closer to the
center of campus.
One site selected was Terrace Hall, owned by the
university but now leased to Tau Kappa Epsilon frater
nity. The fraternity plans to vacate the building in May.
A feasibility study for the move was completed in
December 1982. The study determined that Terrace

Hall, by virtue of being a university-owned facility,
would fall under the UNL Student Fees and Facilities
Revenue Bond, refunding series of 1964 and 1966. The
bond, used for construction or renovation of university
property, is funded by a fixed amount of student fees
from each semester. University housing also pays into
the bond fund.
The union, which has managed the Culture Center
since 1977,-also would be responsible for paying utility
costs on the new building.
Union Board President Laura Meyer said that she
opposed moving the Culture Center to Terrace Hall.
"I don't think that's the type of building suited for
the Culture Center," Meyer said. "There's not a room
large enough to handle functions."
Union Director Daryl Swanson said the bond possibly
could cover a new building since it would be a satellite
union of sorts. But the $180,000 costs would make a
new culture center 3,600 square feet, while the Terrace
Garden building is 7,393 square feet.
Swanson said he does not like the new building ap
proach, since no new buildings were being constructed
by the University.
Culture Center personnel and the task force would be
asked about the move and invited to the board's next
meeting Jan. 19 in the Nebraska Union, Meyer said.
The final vote on the budget will take place then, one
day before the union request is presented before the
Committee for Fees Allocation.
"I think everyone agrees we want to spend the
money," O'Keeffe said. "If we shoot this down, we have
to commit ourselves to do everything we can to build an
energy-efficient building as soon as possible."
Meyer reminded board members to continue recruit
ing possible Union Board applicants. Meyer and six other
board members will leave the Union Board in February,
opening seven positions. Representation by an account
ing student and an architecture student are needed, he
said.
