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.

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.
