Reunion to boast upper-level apartments if plan passes By David G. Young Staff Reporter The Reunion will have 19 apart ments installed on its top floor by next fall if everything goes according to plan, said David Hunter, president of the Hardy Building Corp. Renovation on the top level of the 65-year-old structure is expected to begin in May, he said. The 20,000 square-foot floor has been used as a storage area since Dec. 1987. The current plan, laid out by Clark-Enerson Partners, a Lincoln architectural firm, would install 18 one-bedroom apartments and one two-bedroom apartment, Hunter said. Each of these apartments would come with a full kitchen and bath, he said. “They’re geared more toward the upper level in the quality of the units, and the price,” Hunter said. “The price alone is going to eliminate a lot of people.” Hunter said the rental would be about $450 per month for the one bedroom units and $550 for the two bedroom apartments. “If a student can’t afford that type of rent, that’s fine,” he said. “But we’re not going to allow four or five students to pile into that apartment. The occupancy of the apartments would be limited to two persons be cause additional residents would cause excessive wear and tear on the facilities, he said. Hunter said he expects to find the i--—:——“ most interest among high-income students, as well as married couples. Currently, there is a void in on-cam pus married student housing, he said. The apartments in the Reunion would be attractive to couples where one person has a large income. The problem of noise from com mercial activity on the first floor would not exist, due to a 14-inch thick concrete floor separating the upper and lower levels of the struc ture, he said. Similarly, Hunter does not expect trouble with noisy tenants. “We’ll kick them out,” he said. “We won’t tolerate it. The people that are going to live there are going to want to live on campus. They’re going to want to live in a quiet envi ronment.” Hunter expects tne remoaeung process to cost between $400,000 and $500,000. The project would involve installing more windows, a new roof, and a secure elevator. Two elevators are currently in place in the building, which reach from the parking garage below the structure to the top floor. Residents will be able to enter the top floor from either the parking garage, or the retail area with the use of a security key, he said. Residents also will have the option of renting a parking space on the first floor for $40 per month, he said. There are 52 stalls in place below the building, only 20 of which are now being used, he said. Any extra stalls may be rented out to the general puisne, I1UIIIU »onc,erf,h® l«?rlcate carvings oi a handmade leather puppet from Indonesia at the International Bazaar Wednesday.

Bohling, president of the Harper Schramm-Smith residence hall com plex, said IMPACT would establish a student complaints hotline, publicize AS UN appointments in the Daily Nebraskan and survey students annu ally. Experts would give a scientific survey to ensure unbiased results, she said. Rock criticized IMPACT’S survey proposal. ASUN members can carry out their own surveys, he said, instead of wasting money to pay for others to do them. Paul Reynolds, 2nd vice presiden tial candidate for BEER, said his party would increase involvement by setting aside a number students could call to vote in ASUN elections. Reynolds said the number could have a 976 prefix so ASUN could make money. ASUN could make call voting into a lottery, he said. Senators also were asked what they would do to curb senator apathy on ASUN. Cindy Kirstine, one of the mediators, said this year’s senators have adjourned many meetings early. Jegcris said she would develop a strict point system for s nators, which would help stop apathy. Sena tors that skip:> meetings* would lose points, she said. If senators lose too many points, Jegeris said she wou dismiss them. ^ Bohling said she would pro^e ASUN with the strong leadership needed to motivate senators.
