    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.

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.
Many residents said the hall is i
like living in a sorority but provides <
more advantages, such as cheaper i
living costs and seven kitchens c
where residents prepare the meals.

typical meai ai me nan in
cludes fried chicken, baked pota
toes, salad, iced tea and ice cream.
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

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.
