With a heavy load of studies, housing
becomes secondary for many students.
That's why UNL residence hall staff
members spend the year improving liv
ing conditions.
Glen Schumann, assistant director
of UNL housing for maintenance opera
tion, said summer is the busiest time
for his maintenance crew.
Computer rooms should be finished
in September for the Selleck, Sandoz
and Cather-Pound-Neihardt halls, Schu
mann said. Computer rooms in Harper-Schramm-Smith,
Burr-Fedde and Love
Memorial will be installed later this
year.
dents preferred keeping housing costs
down.
However, another proposed change,
unlimited seconds on everything but
the main entree and desserts, will go
into effect this fall.
Another addition for the fall will be
"special floors." "Special floors" in
clude the non-traditional student floor
in the Selleck graduate section, an
upperclassmen study floor for sopho
mores, juniors and seniors, and a floor
for mentoring and wellness, emphasiz
ing programming for physical, mental
and spiritual well-being, Wittstruck
said. A program that allows upper
classmen to take freshmen "under
their wing" also will be offered.

not be added. Gunana Wittstruck,
assistant director of Housing for ad
ministration, said surveys indicate stu-
vacy also nas oeen increased, said
Michele Cole, a UNL residence hall
director. The number of single rooms
for undergraduate women has increased
from 50 to 75. Single rooms for under
graduate men has increased from 25 to
50.
Cole said she foresees a problem
with an "overabundance of women,"
but such a problem will be solved tem
porarily by tripling some residence hall
rooms. Cole said she hopes students in
triple rooms will be taken care of
promptly as other students move out of
the halls within the first part of the
semester.
Students returning to UNL residence
halls might notice some changes and
renovations. Two floors have been re
carpeted in Sandoz Hall. Some outside
windows were replaced in Selleck Quad
rangle and an additional bathroom
with accessability to the handicapped
was added to the 6000 building. Six
lounges were remodeled in the Abel
Sandoz and Harper-Schramm-Smith
complexes. UNL spent $100,000 to
renovate Neihardt Residence Center.
The project included refinishing wood
work around doors and closets and
rewiring the electrical system. The
Harper-Schramm-Smith complex will
have six new Maytag washing machines
and dryers on a trial basis. On East
Campus, some Burr-Fedde windows were

replaced with ceramic tile and a new
ceiling was installed. Two bathrooms
were installed in Love Memorial.
New ventilation systems were in
stalled at all City Campus residence
halls to keep smoke from traveling
from floor to floor through air-conditioning
or heating systems in case of a fire.
Seven hundred mattresses were re
placed for $40,000 and major furniture
refinishing was done.
All residence hall repairs and reno
vations are being paid for by bonds that
were formulated when the buildings
were built.
Schumann said he also hopes to
eliminate the refrigerator rush at the
beginning of school. This summer he
sent out flyers on refrigerator rental. If
refrigerator requests are received on
time, the refrigerators will be installed
in applicants' residence hall rooms
before they arrive for the fall semester.
A six-pack of pop also will be included
for early applicants at no extra charge.
