Center to give accessible advice
By Heidi White
Start Reporter
Two classrooms on the First floor
of Oldfather Hall have been converted
into a new advising center for the
College of Arts and Sciences.
Anne Kopera, the college’s advis
ing coordinator, said the center would
offer services beyond advising.
Representatives from Career Ser
vices, the Arts and Sciences Alumni
Association and graduate and profes-'
sional schools will visit the center to
provide students with career informa
tion, she said. The center also will
have a library.
“We’re looking at it to be kind of a
front door to the College of Arts and
Sciences,” Kopera said.
Staff members will be added to the
advising center, including a profes
sional pre-health adviser, Vicki Fisher.
A graduate assistant adviser and un
dergraduate peer advisers also will be
on hand to assist students.
Brian Foster, dean of the College
of Arts and Sciences, said help for
new students and undecided students
would be offered in addition to gen
eral advising.v
“This is an effort to strengthen the
advising center for the Arts and Sci
ences and to get visible and more
accessible to our students,“Foster said.
The center will be a central advis
ing location for the growing number
of students in pre-health programs,
Foster said.
“The number of students in pre
health is reaching around 1,000,” he
said, “and to do a good program, you
must be efficient in planning. That’s
where good advising steps in.”
Foster said he believed advising
was an important part of undergradu
ate education, and that students needed
an accessible place to go for advice.
“The 12th floor of Oldfather isn’t
the most user- friendly place to get
to,” he said.
Because more than half of all
classes at the university are taught out
of Arts and Sciences departments,
Foster said students not enrol led in the
college also could go to the center for
“We’re looking at it to be
kind of a front door to
the College of Arts and
Sciences.”

help.
“It’s critical that students have a
place to go to for good and authorita
tive advice,” he said.
A change in the previous advising
system has long been desired by stu
dents and staff of the college, Foster
said. He said he made it a priority
during the 1994-95 school year, his
first as dean.
“I consider it to be a major invest
ment for undergraduate education at
the university,” Foster said.
The Arts and Sciences Alumni
Association has been closely involved
with the project, which will cost be
tween $ 100,000 and $ 125,000. Money
donated from the alumni association,
outside gifts, the Academic Affairs
office and the College of Arts and
Sciences paid for the center, Foster
said.
The center will provide more in
formation, resources and materials for
students, he said.
John Benson, director of Institu
tional Research and Planning and as
sociate professor of architecture, said
the classes that were held in the con
verted classrooms had been moved to
other campus buildings, including
Burnett Hail. The center will not inter
fere with access to classes in Oldfather
Hall.
“I don’t see any problem with it
getting in the way of classes,” Benson
said.
The center will be open Monday
through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Hours may be extended during prior
ity registration.
Renovation
is planned
for Burnett
From Staff Reports
Burnett Hall will be renovated
next spring to make the building
more functional for classes.
Woody Haecker, University
ofNebraska architect and project
manager, said plans for the reno
vation were under way.
“Currently, we are selecting
architects and engineers that will
provide the plans for the build
ing,” Haecker said. “Then, we
will gather bids from several
general contractors.”
The renovation will consist
of removing asbestos from
building, correcting draina^H -
problems and starting new con
struction.
Although the interior will un
dergo many changes, the exte
rior will remain the same. No
new windows or additions are
planned for the hall.
The university also plans to
upgrade lighting, wiring, and
computer services in the build
ing. Those renovations are nec
essary to convert Burnett Hall
into a modem classroom build
ing, Haecker said.
“It will end up being a very
nice facility,” Haecker said.
“Classrooms will be more
useable and functional. Overall,
it will become a better teaching
facility.”
The first stage of the renova
tion is tentatively scheduled to
begin after the 1996 spring se
mester.
Memorial will be finished soon
From Staff Reports
The Candace Harms Memorial will
be completed early this fall, said
Marlene Beyke, director of develop
ment for the Association of Students
of the University of Nebraska.
UNL freshman Candace Harms dis
appeared Sept. 22,1992. Police found
her body Dec. 6, 1992, in a shallow
grave outside of Lincoln. She had been
raped and brutally murdered.
ASUN will know more about the
memorial's progress in two to three
weeks, Beyke said.
“We’re waiting on contractors to
give us the cost factors,” Beyke said.
The memorial will be built on the
northwest comer of green space, which
is behind the Nebraska Union. Bcyke
said ASUN had $10,000 from dona
tions and student fund-raisers for the
memorial.
Kim Todd, UNL Landscaping Ser
vices architect, said the memorial
would be an “s”-shaped bench made of
stone or concrete.
