Environmental center looks
to bring in more students
BY JILL CONNER
A little office on the second
floor of the Nebraska Union will
take a few big steps this week
toward becoming better known
on campus.
Because many students
don’t know about the
Environmental Resources
Center, which provides infor
mation about the environment
to faculty and staff at UNL, it
decided to step things up a bit.
“We realized that we lacked
the updated resources we need
ed,” said Dan Ludwig, office
coordinator for the center.
First, the organization
received a new advisor, Bob
Kuzelka, the Assistant to the
Director of Water Center and
Environmental Programs and
an Associate Professor in the
School of Natural Resources.
Then, the group planned to
move its office to the third floor
of the Nebraska Union and reor
ganize it as part of the move.
Kuzelka said he was
enthused about the transition
and thought the move would
help determine the needs of stu
dents using the center.
Finally, the center started
focusing on student input and
planned its "Environmental
Summit 2001” for Thursday at 6
p.m. in the Nebraska Union.
"We want to discuss envi
ronmental issues and how the
environmental center can best
serve its constituents,” said
Ludwig.
Ludwig said the summit was

non|udaemental and appropriate manner.

HLTH230 for PSEs (during the first 5
week session on Tuesday and Thursday
from II a.m. to 12:20 p m ).
This is a combined volunteer/paid position

The Urmmrvty of Nebmeho a an oqud oppanunty educator
open to any students and facul
ty who want to attend, although
several faculty members from
the College of Natural Sciences
and the College of Arts and
Sciences would be at the sum
mit to further discussion.
“It’ll be like a focus group to
talk about these issues," he said.
Ludwig said the center used
to serve as many as 100 students
a month, but its attendance had
dropped.
“We hope to increase those
numbers starting next fall, if
some grants come through,"
Ludwig said.
Ludwig said he hoped by
next fall to serve at least 10 stu
dents per day
Ludwig said staff at the cen
ter had applied for grants that
would enhance the center with
digital video discs, compact
discs and the information tech
nology to increase the uses of
their VVeb site.
Currently, the center is like a
personalized library for stu
dents studying environmental
sciences.
“Faculty and staff didn’t have
one source where they could go
and find the information they
needed,” Ludwig said.
Becca Becker, a junior who
volunteers at the center, said
she originally only wanted to
volunteer, but then started
using its resources for her minor
in environmental sciences.

Experiences of black Nebraskans
to be addressed with discussion
“I had a group project, so we
met here and used the
resources,” she said.
Becker said many books at
the resource center weren't
available at Love Library’ or the
Lincoln Public City Libraries.
Becker, who will also be at
the summit, said she thought
students knew’ about the center,
but didn’t know where it was or
what it encompassed.
The summit, which will last
about an hour, will get the w’ord
out about the center but will
mostly focus on its resources,
Becker said.
“Weil be finding out what
wre can do to meet (students’)
needs.” she said.
