Castellano, a UNL senior, said there were consistently at least three stu dents waiting Wednesday to use a computer in Selleck. Until the Computing Resource Cen ter finds more space, its three compu ter labs and 91 computers will have to do. The labs, located in Andrews and Henzlick halls and Selleck Quadran gle, are open six days a week. A fourth lab in the basement of the College of Business Administration, with 55 com puters, is open seven days a week an operated by CBA. The four labs, with software and consultants, are open to all students and faculty. The lab in Andrews has 24 Apple Macintosh computers; the Selleck lab has 16 Macintoshes and 16 IBM PCs; and the lab in Henzlik, acquired bya the resource center last spring, has 23 Macintoshes and 12 Apple II computers. Alderman said this is the same number as last year, after the acquisi tion of the Henzlik lab. John Harms, co-director of the CBA lab, said, "We see a lot of traffic every semester.” CBA’s lab has 43 IBM computers and 12 Macintoshes. —_-. —---* Paul Vonderlage/Dally Nebraskan Amy Mitchell, a sophomore special education major, works on a paper in the computer lab In Selleck. “The labs are getting fuller and fuller all the time,” Alderman said. “We always encourage students not to wait until the last minute. We urge them to plan ahead so they can get on a computer when they need to.” Also, more instructors are encourag ing students to use computers. Classes often are taught how to use computers in the labs. Colette Kraemer, a resource center trainer, said, “A lot of professors are introducing their students to work processors, especially in business com munications, university foundations and English.” Alderman agreed. ‘They’re doing a lot more training in classes,” she said. “If even half of these students would use the computers, Fulbright apps due Applicat' ms for 1988-89 grants for graduate study abroad offered under the Fulbright Program and by foreign governments, universities, and private donors are due Sept. 30, 1987. Most of the grants offered provide round trip transportation, tuition and maintenance for one academic year; a few provide international travel only, or a stipend intended as a partial grant-in-aid. Applicants must be U.S. citizens at the time of application, and must gen erally have a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent before the beginning date of the grant, and in most cases, have a 3.5 GPA and be proficient in the language 1 of the host country . Except for certain specific awards, candidates may not have a Ph.D at the time of application. Creative and performing artists are not required to have a bac helor’s degree, but must have four years of profes sional study or equivalent experience. Candidates in medicine must have an M.D. or equivalent at time of ap plication. Application forms and further in formation for students currently enrolled at UNL may be obtained from the Fulbright Program Adviser, Profes sor Richard E. Lonsdale, at the Insti tute for International Studies, 1237 R Street, Room 201. that would be a lot of new people using them.’’ The Computing Resource Cente has a long-term plan to add about 66 more units at a cost of about $250,000 as space and resources become available. The extra units would cost abaout $80,000 annually to maintain, Aider man said. Now there are 12 consultants on the resource center staff to check software and help users. “This is more than last year because of the new lab and increased hours,” Alderman said. So far, vandalism hasn’t been a prob lem and certain precautions are taken to discourage potential thefts or van dais. "We have electronic eyes in every room and there are safety kits on every computer,’’ Alderman said. Henzlik’s lab is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Monday through Thursdya.

Seleck is open from 2 to 10 p.m. Sunday, and Andrews is open from 6 to 10 p.m. Sunday. “There is a good possibility of Sat ur day hours also,” Alderman said. “Peo ple have been asking for them.” CBA’s lab is open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday. It is open Saturday from 9 to 12 a.m. and Sundays from 1 to 6 p.m. Financing for the computer labs comes from the resource center’s budget. The CBA lab is financed by a donation bynames C.
