 New student services complex alleviates headaches For years KSC students have run all over campus to: go through the pro- cess of filing for financial aid, pay park- ing tickets issued by campus security, gripe about dorm facilities to housing, take a learning skills course to help them through that tough class the Aca- demic Advising Center suggested they take, get aspirin from Student Health to relieve the migrain one often gets just before an exam. And of course, at long last, get a job through the place- ment office. All this time in between buildings and offices they have had to dart in and out of the counseling center trying to keep their wits about them. Beginning in January of ’84, stu- dents of KSC will be able to do all of the aforementioned activities and more in one building. With the new student union built the old union will be ren- ovated to become a Student Services Complex. All student services present- ly spread throughout the campus will be centralized in this building for con- venience. The entire building will change and the only area left as it currently is will be the breezeway at the east end. Cen- tralization of these offices marks a change that should aid students not only in getting everything done — but also take some pressure off students’ feet. — David A. York -H 1 Carson

Room to breathe, relax; Union has it all KSC students have needed more el- bow room for years. Now in the fall of 1983 they will have it. The former Ne- braskan building has been expanded and renovated to not only be the home of the Campus Dining Service but also to become the home of the KSC Stu- dent Union. Completely carpeted, the new union is not just larger but is more equipped. The snack bar is just that — a snack bar that does not have to be used for other assorted events. A room called the Ponderosa Room will be used for large dinners and is capable of seating 700 people for special lectures or films. To get away from it all there are more private lounges creating more peaceful settings, a TV lounge pit for viewing a favorite soap or sports event and a music listening room for new and old favorites. For a little summertime all year round there is an atruim on the lower level, with seating for relaxation. Since video games have been and continue to be such a craze in the 80s a larger video arcade was a must. For other private enterprises there will be a small area available for lease along with the bookstore, which has always been in the Nebraskan building. For those with other tastes, a small outdoor patio is available for fresh air. An art gallery is featured to display traveling art works as well as those of KSC students and faculty. — David A.
