Union Board
votes to add more
computer stations
By Aimee Green
Staff writer
At the first meeting of the year, the
Nebraska Union Board discussed and
voted on the addition of more stand-up
computer terminals in the Nebraska
Union.
With a unanimous decision, the 11
members voted to recommend that
union administration install six stand
up computer terminals near the exist
ing ones.
The board made the decision after
Director Daryl Swanson mentioned
that campus computers were much in
demand.
Swanson said Chancellor James
Moeser brought the subject to his
attention.
Swanson said Moeser witnessed
the high traffic in the new lab this
summer, and the chancellor comment
ed: “Makes you wonder if we
should’ve made it bigger.”
Space in the union, however,
would not be readily available for
more comput^abs, Swanson said,
because all the space in the union is
occupied.
“That we can’t wave the magic
wand and come up with more space is
the crux of the situation,” Swanson
said.
Many members agreed the union
was ideal for a computer lab because
of its centralized location, conve
nience and recent renovations.
“We’ve built a nice room,”
Swanson said. “Take a nice room in a
neat place with new computers, and
you’ve got a good thing going.”
^ Swanson hoped having more
stand-up terminals would reduce the
number of students only using the labs
for e-mail and Internet use.
He likened the terminals to 15
minute parking meters - they would
encourage large turnovers in students.
To install the computers, the union
would build a small wall parallel to the
stand-up terminals already existing
outside the computer lab.
The wall would not block the
entrance to the Copy Center, Swanson
said.
The cost would be $5,000, and the
terminals could be in place by
Thanksgiving.
The setup of the terminals - the
tables and wires - would come from
student fees already allocated to the
union, and the computer costs would
be paid by student technology fees.
The additions would not raise any
student fees.
Also discussed was the possibility
of more computer labs and stand-up
terminals installed elsewhere in the
union and on campus.
“I think we could put these things
anywhere - downstairs in a comer -
and people would find them,”
Nebraska Union Staff Advisor Gregg
Jablonski said.
No decision was made on the use-?
fulness of other labs on campus. An
open forum on the subject will be held
at the next meeting on Sept. 14.

ASUN aims
for student
involvement
ASUN from page 1 _ ,
Center, and the college’s ASUN Web
page is being updated.
The College of Business
Administration is looking fo get mote'
new students involved, said Amy Rol,
CBA senator. ;
“We want to get more off-campus
and younger students involved,” she
said.
To promote awareness, CBA Week
will be held in the spring with booths
in the Nebraska Union. Rol hopes this
will become an annual event.
Mandy Guernsey, a first-year sen
ator for the College of Arts and
Sciences, said college senators want
also to promote awareness of student
government.

was a sophomore and joined a sorori
ty,” Guernsey said. “It’s different as a
non-greek freshman.”
Guernsey said fliers will be avail
able at the ASUN booth in the
Nebraska Union for students to learn
more about student government.
Schuerman said he relies on stu
dent government committees to get the
word out about ASUN.
With committees, ASUN is better
represented, more people talk about it
in classes and more interest is generat
ed, he said.
Each senator is required to serve
on one committee, and they, too, have
goals for the year, Augustine said.
Her committee, the Human Rights
Committee, is looking for aq. easier j
way for blind students to enter the
Nebraska Union.
Th^y also are supporting the
Turkish Student Association in its
effort to provide relief for the earth
quake victims, she said.
Schuerman said he relies on
ASUN’s “fingers” to help students as
well. .
Schuennan’s “fingers” consist of
the Committee for Fees Allocations,
Student Legal Services, the
Commuter and Student Services
Center and the Homecoming Steering
Committee.
These programs are an extension
of ASUN that provides further ser-^
vices to students, Schuerman said.;
That is why he calls them “fingers.” i
“We are able to directly touch stu
dents with those,” he said. V
