Wilson Continued from Page 1 said. Wilson said he hoped to use the power of his new position to help the board improve as a whole. Shaping the meetings’ agendas was the first thing Wilson said he would do. The regents always should be addressing new issues, not reacting just to what is brought up at meetings, he said. Wilson also said he needed to be in constant contact with the regents in order to facilitate discussion between them. “Everybody will be better regents if they’re continually aware all the time,” he said. Regents Continued from Page 1 outside sponsors. UNL Chancellor Graham Spanier said Memorial Stadium would be one of the first university stadiums to in stall video screens, which would be attached to the southeast and north west towers in the stadium. They would provide instant re play, statistics and promotions. Also installed would be video monitors for the under-balcony and concession areas, and a new sound system, which was already approved by the regents. Operation and maintenance costs will be about $40,000 per year, which also will be paid by sponsors. On another football note, the board unanimously passed an official con gratulation for Nebraska coach Tom Osborne, his staff and the team for an 11-1 record and outstanding effort in the Orange Bowl. In other business, John Russell, assistant vice president for business and finance, announced university plans to survey its more than 13,000 non-faculty employees to determine employee needs, improve relations and teamwork, and increase effec tiveness and satisfaction. The survey, which would help de termine goals the university should set regarding its employees, is still being formulated, Russell said. The survey is expected to be about 16 pages long, he said. Apollo Continued from Page 1 “You can’t just go in and cut a hole in the side of the Devancy Center,” he said. “It wouldn’t be smart and it would probably be cheaper to put up a climate-controlled, Plexiglas shell outside the state museum.” One-time discretionary funds from the chancellor’s office would pay for the movement and a limited restora tion of the capsule, Howe said. The capsule would need restora tion to be displayed, Howe said. The amount of restoration would be determined by how it would be displayed, Howe said. If the capsule was suspended from the ceiling, it would be illogical to restore the inside of the capsule, which would be out of view. Howe said the capsule’soutershcll would be the cheapest area to restore. The cost to move the space capsule would be $2,000 to $2,500. Fund-raising for the Apollo 009 would be done through the University of Nebraska Foundation, Howe said, but there are other priorities on cam pus that come before the capsule. “One of the things this campus needs is more library space,” Howe said. “Do you want to say that the space capsule has a higher priority than the library?” Howe said the costs ofl ibrary space and the restoration of the capsule were not comparable, but the univer sity must keep its priorities in line. If the sports center plan fell through, the chancellor’s office would wait for another idea. “We’d wait for another student to write a letter and say ‘Hey! Put it here,”’ he said. UNL residence halls best in conference, report says RHA to implement recycling strategy with new containers By Stacie Hakel Staff Reporter Where residence halls are con cerned, UNL students get the most bang for their buck in the Big Eight, according to a study by the Division of University Housing. Glen Schumann, assis tant director of housing, said at the Residence Hall As sociation’s meeting [Sunday that Uni J versity of Ncbras ka-Lincoln residence halls have the lowest costs for room and board of all Big Eight schools. A double residence hall room at UNL with air conditioning and 20 meals costs $2,995 for the 1993-94 school year, Schumann said. That fig ure easily ranks UNL’s residence halls as the best deal for campus housing in the conference. Colorado has the highest cost in the Big Eight with acost of $3,830, he said. Schumann said the results of the study proved the goals of proximity and services provided by UNL’s res idence halls allowed students to go to class easily, study and be involved in activities at the lowest possible cost. However, Schumann said, room and board costs would increase $5 for incoming freshmen. He said the in crease would help support RHA’s events and provide other services to the residence halls. In other business, Schumann said recycling bins would be purchased for the residence halls in mid-February. Cardboard, newspaper and mixed paper bins will be placed in the lob bies of all UNL residence halls. Because the residence halls pro duce 75 percent of UNL’s garbage, he said, the bins were an essential part of the campus recycling effort. Schumann also said the Abel Sandoz swimming pool will be closed for the 1994-1995 school year be cause of increasing maintenance costs. He said chlorine, heating the pool and wages for two full-time lifeguards cost the residence halls about$20,000. r Police keport - Beginning midnight Thursday 8:03 a.m.—Security alarm, Andrews Hall. 9:54 a.m. — Noninjury accident, Devaney Sports Center remote lot, $450. 1:33 p.m. — Hit and run accident, Area 20 lot at 14th Street and Avery Avenue,$600. 2:46 p.m. — Bookbag stolen, Ne braska Union, $62. 5:37 p.m. — One person taken to detoxification center. 5:37 p.m, — Fire alarm, Plant Sci ence Building. 10:14 p.m. — Trash can fire, Love Library, $1.
