inenas silting at the Nebraska
Union's restaurant, Union Square.
Freshmen Carla Eggerling, Gina
Franco and Janelle Hockmeir al
ready have found the union is a
meeting ground for discussing
daily happenings.
Because they are new on cam
pus, the union is a great place to
meet people, Eggerling said.
Conversations are easy to strike
up with other students while sit
ting at the union, she said.
Jim Bath and Sue Kelly said
they meet at the union because
their jobs and school keep them
too busy to see each other.
Bath, a senior economics major,
said he commutes from Omaha.
Kelly, a graduate assistant for
housing programming, said they
meet for lunch and discuss when
they will see each other again.
The Nebraska Union, built in
1 938, and the East Union, built in
1 977, are the "living rooms" of the
campus, Nebraska Union Direc
tor Daryl Swanson said.
Originally a four-story building
on the south side of the present
structure, the Nebraska Union
was built to provide a place for
student organizations and stu
dents to meet, he said. Like most
colleges, it became the center for
college activities. Some of tne
services the unions offer include
gamerooms, bookstores, eateries,
meeting rooms, lounges and stu
dent offices.
The East Union began as a
small union in the basement of
the Activities Building on East
Campus in 1947, Swanson said.
The present East Union, 85,000
square feet half the size of the
Nebraska Union provides sim
ilar services, he said. However,
most of the East Union's main
offices are in the Nebraska Union.
Some of the union ofiices housed
in the Nebraska Union are Stu
dent Activities and Financial
Services, Women's Resource Cen
ter, and University Program
Council. The Campus Activities
and Programs office, which or
ganizes entertainment and activ
ities for the university, has offices
in both unions. Services and offi
ces in the Nebraska Union, which
are not directly connected with
the union, are the Career Plan
ning and Placement Office, the
Panheilenic Association and the
Daily Nebraskan.
In addition to providing stu
dents a place to meet, the unions
house several bookstores. Enter
tainment in the recrooms include
bowling alleys, video machines,
pinball games and billiard table3.
Students can participate in tourn
aments sponsored by the union
recrooms such &3 Frisbee, Scrab
ble, billiards and backgammon.
Televisions are also placed in
both unions.
Lou Ann Steward, 22 a life
science major, said she likes to
catch up on her favorite soap
opera, "The Young and the Rest
less." Couches and chairs abound in
both unions for students to sit,
, relax and study.
The popularity of the unions is
evident by the grooves worn into
the stairs of the Nebraska Union
by the approximately 10,000
people who walk through daily.
The unions' carpet and uphols
tery are replaced often because
of daily wear and tear, Swanson
said.
The eating establishments pro
vide the unions with their grea
test source of income.East Union
has a large cafeteria, which serves
the general public and Burr- Fedde
Hall residents. Nebraska Union
has the Union Square, which seats
about 140; the Colonial Room,
seating about 120; and the Harv
est Room, which seats about 375
people. For snacks, students can
buy donuts, cookies, popcorn,
gourmet coffee and pop at the
Nebraska Union Bakery.
Meeting rooms also are availa
ble in both unions. Larger activi
ties are handled in the Centen
nial Room and Ballroom in the
Nebraska Union.' The Ballroom
often is used for guest lectures,
banquets, musical programs and
small concerts, Swanson said. The
last 1 5 years, general student reg
istration has been handled In the
Centennial Room, he said.
Swanson, who makes most of
the decisions concerning the
unions, must report to Richard
Armstrong, vice chancellor for
student affairs. The Nebraska
Union Board, with president Mary
Marcy, works as an advisory group
to Swanson. The board secto input
from student and faculty and
suggests changes.
Swanson said everyone con
nected to the success of the
unions works hard to develop
changes that would benefit those
who use the unions.
One of the major projects this
year will be the refurnishing of
the South Crib in the Nebraska
Union, which started this month.
Regular Union hours are 7 a.m.
to 1 1 p.m. Monday through Thurs
day, 7 a.m. to 1 1 :30 p.m. Friday, 9
a.m. to 1 1 :30 p.m. Saturday and 1
