Survey to help UNL Students want improvements in parking By Julie Sobczyk Senior Reporter; Most UNL students are satisfied with the university, but its handling of campus parking is below par, accord ing to a recent survey. James Griesen, vice chancellor for student affairs, said the Omnibus Sur vey showed that students thought the University of Nebraska-Lincoln was doing a good job in the areas of cam pus safety and student services. “I think it is a very valuable set of findings that guide us tremendously for understanding students and their expectations,” Griesen said. The survey, in its second year, is being conducted by the Bureau of So ciological Research. The results from last year’s survey were released in February, Griesen said. Cheryl Wiese, assistant director of the bureau, said 20 part-time inter viewers conducted the survey. The interviews were conducted last March and completed last April, she said. The bureau contacted 530 UNL un dergraduates by phone for the survey, Griesen said. About 25 percent of students con tacted did not want to participate. “We had a very high response rate,” Griesen said. “The response was typi cal for telephone surveys.” The students who participated were asked 145 questions in the categories of demographics, campus safety, so cial issues, satisfaction with services, satisfaction with UNL and behaviors and beliefs. Of the students who responded, 88 percent were white. The remaining respondents were Asian, Hispanic and black. Students were chosen for the sur vey using random sampling, Wiese said. “The names were randomly gener ated from a list of all student names, so every student had an opportunity to be included in the sample,” she said. The computer chose students’ names randomly, instead of in a pat tern such as every fifth name, Wiese" said. ' In the survey, 63.7 percent of stu dents think UNL is doing a good job on campus safety. Almost as many — 65.2 percent — think there is not an adequate amount of parking on cam-' pus. One statistic that troubled uriesen was that 32 percent of students said they saw their adviser more than once a semester, and 35 percent said they saw their adviser once a semester. “All in all, that’s pretty good,” Griesen said. “But I’d like to see that at 100 percent visiting their advisers. The fact that one-third of students are vis iting their advisers more than once a semester looks good.” As years go by, he said, the survey results will become even more valu able. “We’ll be able to see how changes we’ve made are reflected in the sur vey,” he said. For example, Griesen said, if UNL changes parking to try to make the situation better, but the survey still reflects student dissatisfaction, the university will know that more needs to be done. Also, he said, the survey will be come important for the North Central Accreditation next semester. “We’re expected to be evaluating,” Griesen said. “Assessment is a large part of the NCA visit. We have to be able to demonstrate we’re surveying students and finding out their needs.” Survey says...
