Students pick: Pizza, tacos, yogurt... By Wendy Navratil Staff Reporter A survey will be conducted this week to help determine what will replace the Pizza Bakery in the Ne braska Union, a Union Board mem ber said. The Union Board is conducting a survey of 500 University of Nebraska Lincoln students, beginning with a booth survey today in the Nebraska Union. Among the board’s priorities is to fill the space currently occupied by the Pizza Bakery with something that will benefit students, said Colin Theis, a Union Board member. “The student survey results will have a huge impact on what goes in” the space currently occupied by the Pizza Bakery, Theis said. The Pizza Bakery is expected to leave the union by the end of the week, he said. Theis said the decision to leave was not based on financial problems. The survey is designed to discover students’ concerns and attitudes about the services the unions offer, while making them aware of some services they may not have used yet, he said. A similar survey conducted by the Union Board last year helped it de cide what renovations were needed for the Harvest Room, now called Fast Break. Students surveyed will be asked what their food preferences are at the unions. “We’re thinking maybe pizza, Mexican food, icecream or yogurt— something that’s going to be favor able to students,” Thcis said. The survey also will ask students why and when they visit the unions, and if they’re aware of the extra serv ices that are available through the University Bookstore. They will be given the opportunity to rate the services they have used at the unions. About 250 responses will be gath ered from the booth surveys. A phone survey will be conducted on Wednesday to obtain another 250 responses. The board will choose which students to survey randomly from names in the student directory. The next Union Board meeting will be 5 p.m. Tuesday. Students can attend to offer input on the survey questions or voice concerns, Theis said. _ -POLICE REPORT Beginning Thursday, Jan. 24 8:45 a.m. — Car antenna broken, 17th and R streets, $30. 10:29 a.m. — Tree hit by vehicle, 35th and Fair streets, $60. 11:58 a.m. — Book bag stolen, University Bookstore, $120. 12:47 p.m. — Two bicycles sto len, 425 University Terrace, $380 and $270. 12:50 p.m. — Auto window bro ken, 19th and T streets, $150. 4:01 p.m. — Book bag and con tents stolen from auto, meter park ing lot off U Street. 4:15 p.m. — Man arrested for narcotics, Abel Residence Hall. 9:11 p.m. — Auto hub centers stolen, Harper-Schramm-Smith complex parking lot, $100. 11:58 p.m. — Attempted auto theft, 19th and R streets.

Objector Continued from Page 1 ‘‘I was 17 years old. I was ex tremely naive. The recruiters got ahold of me so fast. But they only tell you as much as they want you to know,” Hanna said. “They tried to make me think life was worthless. I just respect life too much.” He said he would refuse to serve even within the United States. “That would be still supporting the war machine. I’d be handing them the gun and saying, ‘Go kill.”’ Hanna is supposed to report to Fort Leonard Wood on Thursday. Until then, he and his supporters arc striv ing to gain as much recognition for his cause as they can. A vigil took place in support of Hanna's efforts Sunday night, and a press conference is planned for 9 a.m. Tuesday at the Cornerstone. Rev. Larry Doerr of the Comer-’ stone Ministry, who supplies infor mation about how the draft system would work, possible exemptions from service and how to obtain them, said he didn’t know if all the publicity was the right approach. “My own feeling is that that would just make the military touchier—and his fate is in their hands,” Docrr said. John DcFrain, a UNL professor of human development and the family, supports Hanna’s efforts. “Our greatest fear is that Gary will report and they’ll give him the forms (to apply for conscientious objector status), and then whisk him away on a plane for Saudi Arabia. . . . We’ve heard reports that some of them (people who have applied for exemption) are disappearing. No one knows where they’re taken; no one has any contact with them. “Sure, he’s afraid of dying," De Frain said. “But he’s more afraid of not living by his principles. And that makes life a lot harder.” r«»ye o Housing director: Costs expected to rise in ’ 90- ’ 91 By Kristie Coda Staff Reporter University of Nebraska-Lincoln housing costs are expected to rise $195 per student for double-occu pancy rooms next year, the director of university housing told the Residence Hall Association on Sunday. Presenting the 1991-92 Residence Hall Rate Study, Doug Zatechka said the major causes of the increase are salary and benefits increases for per manent staff members and student employees, a 10-15 percent increase in utility costs, a cable TV rate hike in the halls and higher food and tele phone service costs. To keep the rate increase to a minimum, the Division of University Housing has made cuts in capital purchases, professional travel, over time and student positions. It also has increased employee meal charges, single-room rates and vacation hous ing rates. Housing rates would have increased nearly $300 without the budget re ductions, Zatechka said. “I know it isn’t cheap,” Zatechka said, but “comparing to peer institu tions, we’re way cheaper than the Big 10 schools.” Zatechka said he didn’t think the higher rates would make some stu dents choose off-campus housing. “I don’t think they can get by cheaper,” he said. Another cut being considered for next year is the removal of phones — but not phone service — from jsi dence hall rooths. The phones in use now should be replaced, Zatechka said, but that cost could be avoided if students are required to bring their own phones. “It’s just not a good year for stu dents,” Zatechka said. “Costs are just rocketing.” LAUDERDALE BEACH HOTEL • 7 NIGHTS *| TOURWAY INN OR THE REEF KITCHENETTES • 7 NIGHTS HOLIDAY INN OR PORT ROYAL OCEAN RESORT CONDOS • 5 OR 7 NIGHTS HILTON HEAD ISLAND BEACH & TENNIS RESORT CONDOS • 7 NIGHTS DON'T DELAY!
