Professors at UNL, UNO and the Uni
versity of Hanover in West Germany are
working on a research project to im
prove rural housing.
Professors in several academic areas
will direct the building of energy
efficient houses designed to fit the
lifestyles of farm families. About 15
professors from the areas of architec
ture, construction management, home
economics, agricultural economics and
engineering technology are involved in
the project.
Lee Schriever, project coordinator
and assistant professor in the College
of Architecture, said the needs of farm
families often are not met by rural
houses. The professors will study farm
lifestyles and space needs before they
design the houses.
The first part of the project is to
build a house for the caretaker of the
agricultural field labs at Mead. The
caretaker now lives in a trailer house.
Schriever said they decided to build
a house for the caretaker because the
agricultural college needed it, and it fit
with the goals of the project.
"Everything kind of dove-tailed nicely
together," he said.
Professors at Hanover proposed the
project several months ago to exchange
American and European building tech
niques. Professors from the three universi
ties will cooperate in designing an
energy-efficient house, Schriever said.
They will try to use U.S. techniques for
insulation, window and ventilation.
Also, professors will follow the space-
saving techniques that Europeans use.
Reducing square-footage conserves
energy, Schriever said.
Students from UNL and Hanover will
help research efficient building types,
draw floor plans and design the house
interior.
After the project is completed, pro
fessors will monitor the house for about
two years to see if it meets high energy
standards, Schriever said. The results
could revitalize construction tech
niques for both conventional and manu
factured houses, he said.
Later research, Schriever said, may
include finding ways to use agricultu
ral by-products to make building mate
rials. For example, they may use corn
and milo stalk to make pressed board
much as wood pulp is used. '
Depending on interest and funding,
research also could be extended in a
few years to develop more improve
ments in energy-saving construction
methods, Schriever said.

DIRECTOR from Page 1
Genoways said Janovy left him with a
favorable impression of the museum
and its unlimited potential for growth."
Genoways said he was also impressed
with the state support for the museum,
especially the "Friends of the Museum"
support group.
Despite strong support for the
museum, Genoways said the building
and many of the exhibits need work.
Janovy, who is a full-time biology
professor and director of the Cedar
Point Biological Station in western Ne
braska, said he plans to devote more
time to research and writing.
Genoways, his wife Joyce and their
two children plan to visit Lincoln later
this month. If the recommendation is
approved, Genoways would become
director July 1.
Genoways earned his doctorate from
the University of Kansas and did post
graduate work as a Fulbright Scholar at
the University of Western Australia.
He was a faculty member and museum
administrator at Texas Tech University
and the University of Kansas.
He is president of the American
Society of Mammalogists and past presi
dent of the Southwestern Association
of Naturalists.
ookstore to open in March
Construction at the new Nebraska
Bookstore is progressing as planned,
said the bookstore's general manager.
"It looks as though moving into the
new store will be pretty easy," Jerry
Mullinix said. "That might change as
we get further along, however "
The new bookstore, 1300 Q St., will
open by March 31, Mullinix said.
. "We gained control of the building
three days ago," he said, "but there is
still some clean-up work to do as well
as shelves to put up."
Mullinix said it should take three
days to move all of the merchandise on
the floor of the present bookstore,
1 135 R St., to the new one. But first all
of the back-up supplies of books, clothes
and other supplies in storage must be
moved, he said.
"Our employees will be doing most
of the moving, Mullinix said, "so we
will only do the moving when we're able
to make time for it."
Construction costs for the new book
store were funded by a $2.8 million
bond.
"There's no reason for students to
worry about an increase in our prices
because of our new building," Mullinix
said." ...It's already paid for." "
Act threatens loans, grants
The federal budget proposal for 1987,
which could slash more than $3 million
from the Department of Education, will
reduce financial aid funds received by
more than 1 million students, said Deb
Chapelle, executive director of the
Nebraska State Student Association.
The Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act
would eliminate the in-school subsidy
for the Guaranteed Student Loan Pro
gram and cut $400 million from Pell
Grants. It also would cut $450 million
by eliminating the State Student In
centive Grant program, National Direct
Student Loans and by merging the Col
lege Work Study program and Supple
mental Educational Opportunity Grants.
Last week a federal court of appeals
ruled the act unconstitutional, but the
U.S. Supreme Court won't be able to
rule on it before the first cuts are made.
Although the proposed cuts could be
ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court, Chappelle and the association
plan to have meetings at UNL, UNO and
Nebraska state colleges to inform stu
dents about the proposals and encour
age opposition.
"Those whose future dreams, aspira
tions and security would be devastated
by this plan must respond," Chapelle
said.
RHA opposes bill to eliminate
tuition aid for state national guard
The Residence Hall Association will
push for defeat of a bill that would
eliminate tuition aid for students in
the Nebraska Army and Air National
Guard.
Member unanimously passed a reso
lution last week to oppose LB931 with
letters and telephone calls to state
senators.
The resolution states that RHA will
oppose the elimination of the National
guard 75 percent Tuition Assistance
Program because it would affect many
residence hall students.
In other matters, RHA adviser Woody
Getz said registration is open to all
students for the spring All-Campus
Leadership Conference, Feb. 23, in the
East Union.
Students will study ethics and lead
ership through case studies and mod
els of ethical questions and UNL stu
dent leader panel discussion about
prejudice on campus.
Gene Crump, assistant attorney
general for Nebraska, will speak at
dinner. Advance fee is $3. Tickets also
will be available at the door for $5.
The conference is sponsored by RHA,
the University Program Council, the
Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic,
the Office of University Housing and
the Affirmative Action Office.
