New computer lab will be dedicated today From Staff Reports A new IBM computer laboratory will be dedicated Friday, said Hazel Crain, chairman of the vocational and adult education department. The computer system, consisting of 16 IBM 30 computers, was first networked to an IBM 60 computer two or three weeks ago, said Birdie Holder, UNL associate professor of vocational and adult education. Crain said networking the comput ers provides better efficiency because everything is functioning from the same source. r 1 " -.-. -■ Students have been using the new computers in Nebraska Hall 535 since the beginning of the semester, Crain said. The computers occupy a room previously used as a typewriting lab, Crain said. Holder said the new computer lab is “state of the art.” “No other college in Nebraska has one like it,” she said. The computers will be used for administration management classes and other business applications in volving spread sheets, telecommuni cations and word processing. “This department trains secondary teaching majors who will some day teach business students,” Crain said, “and we need to have the current programming the business world has.” Money was donated for the new equipment from the Nebraska Bank ers Association and Dr. Marian Madi gan of Weston. Federal funds from the Carl Perk ins Vocational Act and departmental funds were also used, Crain said. The dedication ceremony will be in Nebraska Hall 535 at 10:30 a.m. Co-op dwellers are in 'Love' with hall By Libby York Staff Reporter Love Memorial Hall on East Campus is like living in a sorority, a residence hall and home, said Denise Matthias, a first-year Love resident “It’s a lot of fun,” she said. “ You ’ ve always got a friend to turn to. We all work together.” Candle-passings, participation in homecoming events, study breaks and date parties fill the social calendar of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln residence hall. Thirty women live in Love Memorial Hall, aco-op built nearly 40 vears ago from a contribution made by Eton Love in memory of his wife. He wanted to provide low-cost housing with a family atmosphere for women majoring in agriculture and home economics. The hall looks much like a regu lar house, yet provides housing for up to 49 women. Rooms in the hall include a living room, a study lounge and a TV lounge. Although Love Memorial Hall is not at capacity, the women don’t have to worry about their costs and fees being raised in order to com pensate for the difference. The cost of living in the hall is about half of residence hall costs. If the house is not at capacity, many residents receive single rooms at no extra cosL I Residents pay $795 a year to live in the hall arid $60 a month for ( food and activities, which includea fall party or a spring formal, said Jean Schiichting, president of the 4 residence hall.

The meals are as balanced as the women choose to make them. The residents said they are >roud of the hall and keep it clean with weekly duty assignments. A esident spends half an hour a week leaning. Schlichtmg said she enjoys the itmosphere and thinks the hall’s esponsibilities make the girls closer and more appreciative of heir living quarters. Schlichling’s rider sister lived in the hall and ecommended that Schlichting heck it out for herself. Co-op living was popular in the 70s, Schhchting said, but declined in the ’80s at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln because the halls were dilapidated. Love Memorial Hall was remodeled two years ago. Schlichting attributed the decline in co-op living to stu dents’ laziness. Students don’t like having to cook and clean, she said. Melanie Krajnik, a freshman who lives in Love, said she found out about the hall from one of her high-school advisers who had lived there. “I absolutely love living there,” Krajnik said. “It has a real homey atmosphere. People care about one another.” Timetable important to office reforms AID from Page 1 lion from other UNL departments; the creation of a $20,000 budget reserve to better process rushes; additional staff and more pay. While Griesen has said the admini stration is already aware of the needs and is doing everything they can to improve the office. He called the in formation helpful and said it will be “highly regarded.” Dave Regan, a law student who started a petition drive last month for improvements within the office, said the “smartest” thing about the report is that it calls for wider administrative attention. Regan said if the financial aid problem was given first priority or evdn second priority behind faculty salaries, in the university as a whole and not just the office of student af fairs, the problems would be solved faster. Tom Svoboda, academic commit tee chairman, said administrators will give ASUN a timetable on Nov. 18 detailing when changes will occur within the office. mTB335™44+ [SPONSORED BY UPC EAST MAIN EVENTS A KFRX PIP FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6 EAST UNION “TONY & DAVID PHILLIPS” “THE LIMIT” “BEVERLY HILLS COP II” COMBO PASS $3 Students $5 Non-Students 8:00 p.m. TONY & DAVID PHILLIPS “Comedy Juggling Duo " They challenge you to bring any 3 items for them to juggle. $2 Students/$3 Non-students 9:30 p. m.
