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.

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.

“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.
