By Mike Kluck
Staff Reporter
University of Nebraska-Lincoln students look
ing for a roommate or a night on the town can get
advice from the Information Center in Nebraska
Union 116.
Students searching for roommates off campus
can use the center’s roommate referral service.
The center has a folder of names and numbers of
people looking for roommates, and students may
fill out a form and leave their names in the file.
The center also provides a listing of houses
and apartments that are available for students to
rent, which includes phone numbers of real est
ate agents. Students also can call real estate
agents about renting and making appointments
from the center. The center served 331 people for
off-campus housing last year.
Students living on campus also can seek
advice about off-campus housing.
The Information Center also has information
on Lincoln’s entertainment scene. It receives
fliers from Kimball Hall and the Repertoiy
Theatre on upcoming productions and other uni
versity events. It gets a new listing of events
throughout Lincoln every Sunday.
WRC opens with new position
By Ana Balka
Staff Reporter
The Women’s Resource Center won’t be taking
a back seat to studies-with its first full-time
coordinator.
“In the past, it was usually a grad student’’
who held the part-time coordinator’s position,
said Katherine Araiyo, WRC cordinator.
A student coordinator split her time between
the office and studies and only had the job for
about a year, Araiyo said.
"You’d spend half the year just learning the
job,” she said. The coordinator wouldn’t accom
plish anything until the time was up, she said.
Araiyo, originally from Ohio, was the part-time
coordinator last year and applied when she
heard the position would become full time.
A full-time coordinator will alow the center to
continue current services and increase student
awareness of the center. WRC offers a library of
resource materials about and by women, referral
services for information not available at the
center, and assistance in finding doctors, lawyers
and other services, she said.
WRC has printed a newsletter sporadically in
the past, but Araiyo said she hopes to publish
more regularly this year. WRC is also changing the
appearance of its office. Araiyo said the renova
tion includes a ceiling with fans, carpeting and
possibly new furniture soon.
Daryl Swanson, union director, said offices in
the union are renovated as the need arises, but
that over the past four years there has been an
effort to upgrade office space. ASUN, Greek
Affairs, Campus Activities and Programs, and
the Student Information Center all have been
renovated in the past four years.
WRC will open Aug. 24 and is located in
Nebraska Union 111.

there.

this place. What’s more, it’s located between

floor of a house, giving it a sense of intimacy.
Most of the food is imported from China and

Taiwan. Many of Lincoln’s Chinese restaurants
buy their food here. The walls are lined with
stock piled bags of rice, various sauces and
dressings and cans of fish. It also has many kinds
of tea, seaweed snacks and shrimp chips, but no

good. Its Wisconsin cheeses make it a worth- i
while stop.
