Expansion Continued from Page 1 expanded from 15 to 30 computers. Swanson said the Computing Re source Center might provide newer computers for the room. Also, CRC may decide to staff the new room because of the additional computers. If the room was staffed, Swanson said, better technology, such as laser printers, could be available. Swanson said the changes were being made partially in response to student complaints that the union was drab and boring. “This generation of students ex pects more,” he said. “After you’ve seen other public facilities, the union is not as exciting as it was to students 20 years ago.” The project is in the early stages. Swanson said the Union Board of Directors prepared a 150-page pro program statement last year that out lined improvements. Before project designs can be drawn up, the program statement must be approved by the NU Board of Re gents. Union grew a lot in ’60s By John Fulwider Staff Reporter Construction began on the Ne braska Union’s last expansion in 1967 and was completed in 1969. On the first floor, parts of the current main lounge, TV lounge and food court, which used to be an outside patio, were enclosed to pro vide more space for activities. Before the expansion, the north half of the second floor did not exist. Union offices, the Career Services Center, Student Activi ties Financial Services and the Stu dent Involvement office all were added. The Regency rooms, Heri tage room and Centennial room alsdwere added. The Centennial room was so named because it was finished in 1969, the 100th anniversary of the University of Nebraska’s found ing. “Until the Board of Regents ap proves it, it ’ s a non-proj ect,” Swanson said. James Griesen, vice chancellor for student affairs, will decide when to present the program statement to the board. “I hope we can take this to the board in April,” Griesen said. He said he was a strong proponent of union expansion, but he wanted to make sure he had a plan for paying for it that was acceptable to both students and the regents. If the regents approve the state ment, Swanson said, the University would hire an architecture team to design the project. ASUN and the Union Board then would discuss the planned expansions and modifica tions. After that, blueprints and specifi cations will be drawn up, and con tractors will submit sealed bids for the construction. The contractor with the lowest price, high-quality bid will get the contract, Swanson said. Rally Continued from Page 1 she said, “... but a woman will choose whether or not to bear children.” State Sen. Dave Landis of Lincoln, an abortion rights advocate, said he felt concerned about the networking of the anti-abortion opposition. This Saturday, anti-abortion advo cates will line the streets leading to the State Capitol in a protest march, he said, and the abortion rights move ment would not be able to match them. In order to succeed, the abortion rights movement must “band together for the right to act alone,” he said. Sheryl Schrepf, the former execu tive director of the Preterm Clinic in Brookline, Mass., — the site of two killings—said women had to remem ber the rights granted to them by the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade. Schrepf is assisting with the open ing of Lincoln’s second Planned Par enthood site, which would offer first trimester abortions and pre-natal care. She said violence was less of an issue in Nebraska, but security was still being tightened. “We think, ‘This is surreal. This can’t be happening,”’ she said. Abortion rights supporters have to combat their fear, she said. “W e can’t look passively,” she said. “... We’re not outraged enough. And if we are, we’re not acting on it. “We have to demand a stop to the violence.” Bird man Continued from Page 1 a book signing in a Lincoln bookstore. Johnsgard said he bought “Black Elk Speaks” by John Neihardt, read it and immediately starting writing. In three months, Johnsgard said he had finished writing his new book. At times, Johnsgard said, tears streamed down his face as he wrote I about the trials of a fictional family of snow geese as it migrated south for the winter. “I wanted to show people the spiri tuality of snow birds,” he said. In his preface, Johnsgard wrote that snow geese were “my criterion of beauty, my definition of wildness, my vision of paradise.” “Song of the North W ind” has been translated to Russian and has sold more than 50,000 copies in Russia. Another book by Johnsgard that is popular among mainstream readers is “Dragons & Unicorns: A Natural His tory.” Johnsgard developed the idea for this book by observing his daughter, Karin, play Dungeons and Dragons as a senior in high school. Johnsgard will be featured on NETV later this month in the pro gram “A Passion for Birds.” American Red Cross NO APPOINTMENT L NECESSARY OPEN 7 DAYS it Ay &>• ^ If? % ■rJrla week 10% Discount with UNL Student ID 15 Individually air-conditioned tanning rooms Just 5 minutes from campus \ Westgate Shopping Center VISA in ®ili (Benina Kunza) 477-7444 Get a Jump on SPRING BREAK at AIternatIvb Tan Only $ (We ALWAYS meet any advertised salon price.)
