Man cited for possession

controlled substance with the intent
to deliver.
The other man in the room was
not charged.

property from her house.
The 19-year-old victim had been
living with the suspect in her house '
on the 4800 block of Hillside Drive
for the past few weeks, Heermann
said.
When he left between 5 p.m. and
6 p.m. Tuesday he took her 1983
Buick Regal and an assortment of
items from the house, including
stereo equipment, a camcorder,
VCR and jewelry.
Total loss was $7,201.

Nebraska Center facelift pays off
By Anne Heitz
Staff Reporter
A building that opened almost 40
years ago on campus has been given
new life to attract businesses and
conference groups.
The Nebraska Center foi
Continuing Education on Easl
Campus has undergone renovations
since 1991 to improve the learning
and living environment for its guests.
As a result, business has
increased, said Kelly Clark,
Nebraska Center director. Most oi
the remodeling is complete.
“People are very impressed with
the changes,” Clark said. “We have
features that people have to go to the
coast to find.”
The brown and orange shades
that used to dominate the walls have
been replaced by softer pastels.
But the center’s major advantage
is its new technological facilities,
Clark said.
The center has been hooked up to
Nebraska Educational
Telecommunications, the compre
hensive network that includes the
Nebraska ETV Network, radio,
Internet and many distance educa
tion services.
These features could help the
Nebraska Center become a part of
the International Association of
Conference Centers, Clark said.
Along with offering high-tech
conference rooms, the Nebraska
Center has 96 hotel rooms that are
open to anyone.
These guest rooms feature king
sized beds and fluffy wrap-around
towels. Guests receive free continen
tal breakfasts.
Dick Williams, director of food
service, said the total image presen
tation of the food service department
also has changed for the better.
“We have new china, glassware,
and flatware, which have all
improved the image for the guests,”
Williams said. “Our serving rooms
are much more efficient to handle
large events^
“The changes have made a good
impression.”
Clark is looking forward to busi
ness increasing further as more peo
ple learn about the newly remodeled
building at 33rd and Holdrege
streets.
“We’re trying to reach out and let
everyone know it’s here,” Clark said.
