Cost options at Housing Fair For students tired of sleeping in a closet because they share a one-bedroom apartment or have landlord troubles, the University of Nebras ka-Lincoln’s Housing Fair may be just the answer. , , , The fair, sponsored by the Student Informa tion Center and ASUN, will be today and Tuesday in the Nebraska Union Lobby from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Representatives from university housing, realty, apartment and security companies, UNL Police, Student Legal Services and Tenant Insurance Service for renters will be at the fair, said Jackie Bjom, director of the Student Information Center. "It’s not a sit-down type of fair,” Bjom said. “People can walk around and talk to whomever they want to talk to. It’s sort of like one-stop shopping.” Bjom said, the fair will allow students to look at any kind of housing and get a cost comparison of the options. The Student Information Center plans to have two fairs each year. The first one was last spring and dealt primarily with summer leases, Bjom said. Jackie Bjorn, Student Information Center director. Programs aimed at minority, low-income students available by unris Aiiernemgen Staff Reporter Students can lounge, study and learn about ethnic backgrounds at the Culture Center, 333 N. 14th St. — it’s one of several University of Nebraska Lincoln places minority or low-income students can go for support. Students like to think of the center as a ‘home away from home," said Deborah McGriff, the center’s coordinator. The center has a library, a typing room, TV lounge, a piano, a pool table, a sound system and a multipurpose room. The center, staffed by stu dents, is available for films, lectures and parties. Although the Culture Center houses minority student organizations such as the Afrikan Peo ple’s Union, Native American Student Congress and the Mexican-American Student Association, McGriff said, all students are welcome. The Department of Multi-Cultural Affairs also offers services for minority students. Working under two programs — the Minority Assistance Program and the Student Opportuni lies services — me uepaiuueui uucia supyun and academic assistance for minority students. Jimmy Smith III, director of the Multi-Cultural Affairs office, said the office helps meet the needs of black, Hispanic, Asian, Native-American and low-income students. Students having trouble making the transi tion from high school to college also can get help from counselors at the office, Administration Building 223. Counselors give free tutoring, aca demic advising, personal counseling and finan cial planning. The Student Opportunities Services program is aimed at students who need academic assist ance, Smith said. Classes such as Math 100 and Educational Psychology also are part of the program. To qualify for the opportunity services, a stu dent must be a U.S. citizen or a first generation college student. Low income students, students with a composite ACT score of 21 or below, or students with a below average cumulative grade point average qualify for the program. /IRTOIRVED X^ CLASS RINGS with the hne ArtCarved craftsmanship that's ME hacked hy a Full Lifetime » Warranty.
