Residence halls worker shortage
spurs employment incentive
By Eve Nations
Staff Reporter
University of Nebraska-Lincoln
residence halls are experiencing a
shortage of food service workers
because of a fast turnover rate, ac
cording to Douglas Rix, assistant di
rector of housing and food service.
Rix said that while he is unsure
how many workers the university
needs, the current shortage has not
changed significantly from last year.

“This time of year has a particu
larly high rate of turn over,” he said.
“Many students want to work and
then they decide they don’t want to
work after all,” Rix said.
Rix said another reason for the
shortage is students’ skepticism about
their schedules.
“Many students expect to have
their schedules one way and then they
have to change things so they aren’t
able to work,” he said.
Rix said no specific complex has
more of a shortage than another
complex.
“No dorm has a big shortage,” he
said. “Each one is short of some
workers.”
Cheryl Card, Cather-Pound
Neihardt food service manager, said
her food service has a problem on
lunch shifts.
“We have a little bit of a problem
of student shortage over the lunch
hour,” Card said. ‘That is the hardest
time we have to fill. Most students
like to take classes during this lime.'’
An incentive of a 15-cent raise per
hour between the hours of 10 a.m. and
2 p.m. is offered to those students who
are willing to work over the lunch
hour. All new employees have a start
ing pay of $3.85 an hour during nor
mal meal hours.
Card said the management team
has to work harder when there is a
shortage of workers. The shortage
does not affect the quality, she said.
“Quality is still there because we
still want a good product for the stu
dent,” she said.
Food service managers from Abel
and Harper hallsdeclined tocomment
on the situation.
