Anderson said.
Students who are a part of the
greek system said they could sense
the change of not having Anderson
around.
Brent Karstens, president of the
Interfraternity Council, said there
was never a dull moment with
Anderson.
“She is a nationally known figure
within the greek system,” Karstens
said. “She got the UNL greek organi
zation going from day one. She will
definitely be missed.”
Mark Nielsen, vice president of
the Interfraternity Council, agreed
with Karstens.
“She was always there for guid
ance and assistance, and I think we
will all miss her for that purpose,”
Nielsen said. “She is a respected fig
ure and she definitely got things
done.”
Linda Schwartzkopf, took over
Anderson’s post Aug. 1. Before that,
she was director of Student Judicial
Affairs.
“I have a unique relationship
with Jane,” Schwartzkopf said. “I am
a UNL graduate who was a part of
the greek system, so I have known
Jane since I was a student myself.
She is going to be a tough act to fol
low.”
Schwartzkopf said she has plans
for continued academic emphasis in
the greek system, as well as stronger
recruiting tactics.
“Sororities on campus have done
an excellent job of maintaining a 3.0
or higher grade-point average in the
past two years, and the fraternities .
have also made a great academic
effort recently,” she said. “I want to
continue this stress on academic
excellf»nrp in thp svsfpm ”
Schwartzkopf also is interested
in bringing more minority greek
organizations to UNL. She said only
one African-American fraternity -
Kappa Alpha Psi - is active on cam
pus.
Another goal, she said, is to
reach out to perspective students
before school starts and tell them
about the greek life. She said the
greek system is sending out a new
brochure and working on a phone
campaign to market the system.
“We want to help students who
are interested in the system make an
informed decision,” she said.
Students also are looking forward
to working with Schwartzkopf.
“I think Linda hit the ground run
ning,” Nielsen said. “She will help
the greek system do what we want to
do, but also do what we need to do for
the future.”

Services offices, a Nebraska Union
snacks stand and an astronomy obser
vatory on its roof.
John Ingram, director of facilities
for the NU Athletic Department, said
Huskers Authentic was a “huge hit”
Saturday, when hundreds of gameday
visitors flooded the store.
McDowell said the shuttle waiting
area will open when its furniture
arrives and the floor is completed mid
month. Parking and Transit Services
offices, where university members can
purchase parking permits or pay park
ing tickets, will move into the parking
garage Sept. 26, he said.

(There s) a lot more here than some concrete and some parked
cars. This place is going to be a gathering place.”
James Moeser
chancellor
director, said the snacks stand would
open next to the shuttle waiting area in
January for the first day of spring
semester classes.
“We’re anxious to be in this part of
campus,” he said, adding that he felt
disappointed a delay in the stand’s
design process kept the stand from
opening this fall.
The union planned to open the
stand in October and serve coffee,
yogurt, sandwiches, salads, baked
goods, popcorn, sodas and juices.
The university opened the bidding
process for the stand’s construction
Wednesday and will award a construc
tion contract soon, he said.
Don Taylor, associate professor of
physics and astronomy, said the astron
omy observatory on the parking
garage’s top level would be finished in
October when its telescope is installed.
The observatory will be the best at
the university because it will enable
students and faculty to view the entire
night sky, Taylor said. Now, the univer
sity’s best telescope on campus is
mounted in a window ofFeiguson Hall
and only allows researchers to study
the southern sky, he said.
