ballroom Wednesday afternoon.
Drop/add lines may be normal
By Jan Calinger

No matter how long the lines and
scarce the classes seem, the number
of UNL students using drop/add this
year may be no different than the
number using it last year, UNL offi
cials said.
Earl W. Hawkey, director of regis
tration and records, said the overall
increase or decrease was hard to cal
culate this early in the procedure.
“There was an increase in the num
ber of students who lined up Tues
day he said. “But we really can’t tell
until it’s all over with. We still have
three days.”
Robert W. Reid, associate director
of registration and records, said early
calculations showed that so far about
the same number of students used
drop/add this year as last.
Students have until Monday to
change classes using the drop/add
process. Students dropping classes
after Monday will be charged a partial
tuition fee.
Drop/add takes place between 8
a.m. and 4 p.m. today, Friday and
Monday. Time appointment cards,
which can be obtained at Service
Counter 111G in the Administration
Building, are needed for all sessions.
Some students said they had prob
lems with drop/add delays.
Charles Nolder, a senior biochem
istry major, said his delays began
when he tried to get his time card at
7:45 a.m. Tuesday.
“I had to come back for a ticket,”
he said. “There was a line around the
front of the Administration Build
ing.”
Once he appeared at his appoint
ment, he said the procedure took him
about an hour and a half.
Hawkey said Tuesday was the only
day students were delayed when they

We really can't toll
until It's all over

went to pick up appointment cards.
“Otherwise there wasn’tmuchofa
wait at all,” he said.
Hawkey said students should take
care of class changes during the sum
mer to avoid later drop/add hassles.
Otherwise, students can wait until
later this week when lines wilt he
shorter.
Hawkey said next year's new
“voice-response”system should elim
inate most of students’ drop/add com
plaints.
Fountain
airs out
From Staff RaporU
Students who noticed the
mysterious absence of water in
BroyhiU Fountain Wednesday
shouldn’t be alarmed, a univer
sity plumber said.
Jim DeCamp, a plumber for
University ofNebraska-Lincoln
building management, said the
fountain was drained for routine
cleaning to prepare for the up
coming season.
“During the summer the wind
blows and (the fountain) gets an
accumulation of dust and algae,
and it needs to be drained and
cleaned,” DeCamp said.
DeCamp also said it needed
to be cleaned a little earlier than
normal because someone recent
ly had put soap in the fountain.
Cleaning usually takes one day,
he said.
DeCamp, who has main
tained the fountain for 17 years,
said it is aging badly and has
seen better days.
“When I was a student in ’68,
the fountain was heated, it ran
all year, the level of the spray
rose and fell with the wina ve
locity, and it had an elaborate
filtration system.
“Through the years it has
failed, and there has been no
money to replace it. There’s
nothing automatic anymore oth
er than the time clock that turns
it off at night,” DeCamp said.
is very effort will be made to
keep the fountain on through the
last football game, DeCamp
said.
Nebraska Union may get
wing added, official says
By Rebecca unmans
Staff Raportar
Most students passing through the
student unions probably won’t notice
the minor renovations mack during
the summer — new paint in the Ne
braska Union’s ballroom and a newly
decorated East Campus Un ion cafete
ria.
But plans are under way for the
biggest chanee theCity Campus’union
has seen in 25 years.
In his State of the University ad
dress Friday, Chancellor Graham
Spanier announced plans to expand
the Nebraska Union.
’The announcement is our go
ahead to plan on addition,” said Daryl
Swanson, director of Nebraska
Unions.
‘‘At this stage the project and the
ideas are not certain; we are just con
ceptualizing,” Swanson said.
The plan right now though,
Swanson said, is to build a small
addition to the west that would take in
the grassy area beside the Union. The
three-story addition would run the
length of the current lounge back to
the computer room and handicapped
>—about 140 feet long, Swanson
sai
Swanson said the University Book
store would have the first option to fill
the basement of the addition.
But students will have a say in
what goes on the first floor, Swanson
said. The Nebraska Union Board will
survey students to find out what they
want. Swanson said some ideas sug
gested were a music store, travel agen
cy and dry cleaners.
“We don ’ t want to turn into a mini
mall,” Swanson said, “but we would
like to have more private vendors
because we have had such good luck
with them in the past."
Third-floor additions could include
expansion of the Career Planning and
Placement Center and meeting rooms,
Swanson said.
A ground-level entrance at the cor
ner of the addition with a passenger
elevator also is being considered to
improve accessibility to people with
disabilities.
The union's expansion still is two
or three years away, Swanson said,
because there are many levels to work
through.
The idea for an addition is not a
new one. The Nebraska Union Board
has talked about adding on since the
union's basement was gutted eight
years ago to make way for the Univer
sity Bookstore, Swanson said.
Before then, the basement con
tained a 10-lane bowling alley, video
game room, auditorium, two large
storerooms, a supply store and a small
textbook store. ■**'.
There was a need for a bigger
bookstore on campus for students,
Swanson said, and the union agreed to
make way for it. „
“The agreement at that time,
Swanson said, “was that we do this
and in the future the bookstore and the
union would cooperate to build an
addition to regain the space we lost.
Finances have dictated otherwise
up to this point, Swanson said, but the
union has seen significant changes
since then. Business at the bookstore
and the food court have greatly in
creased, and the meeting room busi
ness has become the largest in Lin
coln. j
Most recently, Swanson said, the
union replaced its fluorescen
lightbulbs with incandescent ones. Th<
project cost nearly $20,000, bu
Swanson said he hoped the mov<
would save the $20,000 in light bull
this year.
