Lab computer usage increases;
resource center seeks more room
By Tim Borchers
Staff Reporter_
More University of Nebraska-Lincoln
students are using microcomputer labs
across campus, making expansion a
necessity, said Kathryn Alderman of
the Computing Resource Center.
“There’s been such an explosion of
use of computers on campus,” she said.
“We’re looking for space.”
Pete Castellano, computer consul
tant for the resource center, agreed
that more rooms for the labs are
needed.
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.

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

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
