Starting a new school year,
making fnends and fitting in are
difficult for all students, but it
poses a bigger problem for older
members of the university comm u
nity, said the head of an adult stu
dent group.
A group called the Adult Stu
dent Network was formed in re
sponse to this, said Rachel Loyd,
the group’s program leader.
The informal group is open day
and night to University of Ne
braska-Lincoln students, but con
centrates on members over the age
of 25, she said.
The group started more than 10
years ago through UNL’s Division
of Continuing Studies, Loyd said,
because non-traditional students
found it difficult to get acquainted
with other students.
“We’re mostly an information
group,” Loyd said. “We give sup
port to the older students because
they find it hard to get acquainted
with others like them ”
The group not only brings the
students together, but invites sev
eral speakers from the Lincoln
community and UNL departments
to talk with the group.
About 25 students attended the
first meeting Sept 7. Loyd said she
hopes more students attend the
next meetings, especially night
class students and commuters. The
group also plans to Itave some
breakfast or dinner meetings.
Judith Kriss, the group’s ad
viser, said she thinks if the group
inducted evening activities, more
students would be able to attend.
“It’s just too hard for a lot of the

students to attend these afternoon
meetings," Kriss said.
The group meets from 11:45
a.m. to 1 p.m. every Wednesday in
the Nebraska Union. The room
number is posted on the daily

come and go as their schedules
permit.

Wyatt said the Association of Stu
dents of the University of Nebraska
will appoint the six representatives,
three of whom will run for two-year
terms and three for one-year terms.
Beacon and Wyatt said the advi
sory board will serve two purposes.
It will allow students to voice their
concerns to the financial aid office
and allow students to become ‘‘edu
cated” on the steps they must follow
to get their financial aid on time.
‘‘They need to know what docu
ments to hold on to over the years,”
Wyatt said.
Beacon said they must also under
stand that congressional regulations
require the financial aid office to
request so many documents.
Beacon said 1,700 students who
have not received their fall awards
need to understand the office’s cur
rent crises. Alterations in computer
software required by the federal gov
ernment arc responsible for the de
lays, Beacon said.
Beacon said he hopes board mem
bers will make suggestions on how to
improve the office.
The suggestions “must lie made
within certain parameters, however,
because financial aid has become so
complex over the years,” he said.
“I want people who will offer
positive criticism,” Wyatt said.

will consider holding an open forum
for all students. Beacon said he also
has plans to install a complaint box in
the financial aid office.
Beacon said he wants to “go with
the small group first,” though.
Beacon and Wyatt said they hoped
the advisory board would continue
after the “crisis,” or as long as there is
a need for one.
“We don’t know,” Beacon said.
“Maybe this won’t work at all, but we
aren’t going to know until we try.”
The first board meeting will be in
early October. Applications for board
positions will be available in the fu
ture.
Department spiffs up campus
By Courtney Butherus

The University of Nebraska-Lin
coln has pul a new emphasis on cam
pus beautification instead of just
maintenance, according to the direc
tor of the grounds department.
“For the last 10 years, we’ve been
in the process of general landscape*
-,
renewal,' Bud Dasenbrock said, “and
now that we’ve finished some of the
major work, we’re able toconccntratc
on the little things."
Since trees and shrubbery already
have been planted, he said, the
department’s current emphasis is to
improve the flower gardens and
complete special botanical displays.
Dasenbrock said identification
labels have been placed next to Bow
ers and plants. New benches, trash
cans and a complete vine arbor arc
also being added.
T he vine arbor is the latest addition
to the Maxwell Arboretum, cast of the
Thompson L.ibrary on East Campus,
he said.
Kim Todd, campus landscape
architect, said the changes in the land
scape have reached the point where
people are taking notice.
. ‘I’ve noticed a difference and I
think it’s great,” said sophomore
Susannc Williams.
Pleasant surroundings give me a
better altitude toward everything I
do,” she said.
A recent study done by the Carne
gie Poundation lor the Advancement
of Teaching indicates that campus
environment also affects the enroll
ment of incoming students. Of high
school students surveyed, 62 percent
said ihc appearance of campus
grounds and buildings most influ
enced their decision in choosing a
college.
Junior Stacey Switzer, a lormcr
New Student Enrollment host, said
the recent beautification of the
grounds is a great attraction lor new
students.
“When students come and see a
nice campus, it makes an impres
sion,” she said.
Dascnbrock said an attractive
campus is not only a benefit to present
and incoming students, but to faculty
as well.
“A desirable atmosphere plays at
important role for both college stu
dents and faculty as they carry out
their daily routines,” Dasenbrock
said. “And when faculty come here
and are looking to lake a job, it also
influences their decisions.”
Dascnbrock said that although
beautification is the department s
current emphasis, the department s
regular duties also include clearing
and sanding sidewalks alter snow
falls, hauling garbage for residence
halls and unions and providing ack
quatc lighting outside.
“Our goal is for all those using [.
campus to be comfortable and be ao
to relax and enjoy themselves, °
