Two alternative plans for the proposed consolidation
of the three Nebraska Union bookstores were discussed
at Wednesdays ASUN meeting.
Reg Kuhn. ASUN College of Law senator, said UNL
Chancellor Martin Massengale agreed that in its present
condition, the bookstores are less than satisfactory. List
fall Massengale appointed a committee of administrators
and students to study the problem.
The committee is currently studying two alternatives.
I'NL architect Howard Strong will be drawing plans for
the two alternatives during the next two weeks, Kuhn
said.
The first alternative is to build a $2 million free-standing
bookstore, separate from and to the east oi the union,
he said.
Kuhn said the plan has disadvantages because it would
eliminate some faculty and administration parking space.
In addition, the building would not be connected with
the union.
The second plan proposes the renovation of the union
basement - eliminating the bowling alley and the cellars.
Kuhn said.
There also would be a small basement-level addition
to the east, which would eliminate about two rows of
parking, he said. The top of the addition may be made
into a terrace for outdoor seating, he said.
"The advantages of this plan are that it won't take
many parking stalls, it would cost only SI. 5 million,
and the bookstore would be combined within the union,"
Kuhn said.
Kuhn said it is obvious that if the committee does
recommend an expansion, student fees will have to
increase. However, he did not know how much the
increase would be.
Although financial details haven't been discussed,
Kuhn said he believes that if the students pay for the
renovation, they should receive any profits from the
bookstore. The profits could reduce student fees in future
ears. he said.
Kuhn said committee members favor the consolida
tion in the union basement, but will make an official
decision in two weeks after seeing the plans prepared
by St long.
In other business. Laura Miyoshi. chairperson of the
Program for Active Continuation of Education, asked
ASl'N senators to help promote the program by
informing students about it.
PACK collects contributions made by students on their
tuition statements and makes the funds available for
student financial aid.
Nette Nelson, chairwoman ot the Government Liaison
Committee, said that Larry Fauss, district coordinator for
Rep. Doug Bereuter. was the guest in last week's GLC
forum. Fauss said there are two Lyndon B. Johnson
internships available in Washington, D.C. One of the one
month internships is in economics and the other is a gen
eral internship. Nelson said.
ASl'N passed two bills to appropriate money to the
1 983 Big Fight Conference on Black Student Government
and to an open forum to be Feb. 14 through 18 by the
UNL Commission on the Status of Women.
Eugene Tolston, president of UNL's Black Student
Government, had asked ASUN to sponsor two $50
workshops for the Feb. 18 to 19 conference, which
UNL's black student government is sponsoring.
ASUN will be given a quarter-page advertisement in
the conference program booklet for sponsoring the work
shops, Tolston said. The workshops are open to the
public.
Annie Mumgaard, a UNL student and member of the
Chancellor's Commission on the Status of Women, asked
ASUN for a $25 contribution for posters and publicity
for a forum, which will be open to all UNL students.

Representatives from the U.S. Agricultural Stabili
zation and Conservation Service met Wednesday with
about 250 farm owners and farm operators to discuss
the proposed Payment-In-Kind federal agricultural assist
ance program. The group met at a public forum at the
Nebraska Center for Continuing Education, 33rd and
Holdrege streets.
Payment-In-Kind is intended to give the government
an opportunity to cut down its surplus grain supplies
while improving commodity prices for farmers. The
government is asking farmers across the nation to volun
tarily reduce their crop acreage in wheat, com, sorghum,
cotton and rice. In turn, participating farmers will be
given government-owned grain, which the farmers can
feed to livestock or sell on the market.
First District Congressman Doug Bereuter began the
evening's program by giving a slide presentation out
lining provisions of PIK. After the presentation, Claience
Tardy, deputy administrator of state and county opera
tions for ASCS, and Les Fredrickson, ASCS deputy
director of cotton, grain and rice, answered questions
and comments from the audience.
Tardy stressed that PIK is a voluntary program. Far
mers will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
The rights of tenants, sharecroppers and operators are
protected by law. He said those farmers cannot be evict
ed because of their participation in the program.
Tardy said the program should help both farmers
and the economy.
"We hope that by putting money in the farmer's
hands, he will buy," Tardy said"
However, he added, the grain farmers receive from
the government must be counted as income.
Many farmers raised questions about storage of the
PIK commodity. PIK provisions allow the Commodity
Credit Corporation to pay storage for up to five months
after PIK availability begins.
Fredrickson termed PIK "a -very volatile program,"
with several parts of the plan yet to be clarified. Final
regulations will be issued Feb. 25.
Mickey Stewart, state director of ASCS told the group
that each farmer must decide for himself whether the
program will be to his advantage.
"It's going to hurt and its going to cause pain," Stewart
said.
But he went on to reassure farmers, saying, "You're
in trouble because you're efficient." a statement Stewart
said no other segment of our economy can make.
Farmers may sign up for PIK at their county ASCS
office from Jan. 24 until March 1 1 . People with. questions
about PIK should contact local ASCS personnel.
