Funding for computer equipment in particular 13
becoming more crucial every year, UNL Chancellor
Martin Massengalc said. The need for modern com
puter facilities is more pressing than most depart
ment's equipment needs in today's highly technolog
ical job market, he said.
Sen. Karen Kilgarin of Omaha questioned Roskens
on how some of last year's allocations were spent.
After reviewing the past year's expenditures, she
said she was distressed to find that some areas
designat ed as "high priority" never received funding.
"After we went out of our. way, to approve these
high priority areas, I find it unusual that you do not
go back and fund then," Kilgarin said. .......
Roskens responded that last session's final alloca
tion was much less than what was requested and
. left inadequate funding for these high priority areas.
"It, was a matter of having to do what we could
, with what we. got"-he said.
r After subtracting , allocations ' which were ear-
- marked for specific projects, Roskens said, the uni
versity was teft with only about a $300,000 increase
over the previous year's budget.
Concern ever tuition increases was also expressed
by Ruth Bohanv Government Liaison Committee
chairman , i ,: ,: ; z: . i: v
Tuition rates baye increased 50 percentin the last
five.year? Boham said, and.Gov. Kerrey has-proposed
further increases, to meet the.c.ost, pf reduc
tions instate .support,-.' .; r.-o r.
With federal financial aid reduced and the. scar
city of part-time jobs, more and more students are
unable to fund their education, she. said..- .; :
Finally, Sen. Dave Wesley addressed the issue of
hall renovation on behalf, of the Friends of Morrill
HaiL r,v7.. .' ., ... .'.".; z
" Wesley asked for $130,000' ta begin architectural
plans aimed at preserving the historical exhibits in
Morrill Hall. The exhibits are deteriorating because
the building lacks a climate control system.
"I think that upkeep of the exhibits is the state's .
responsibility," Wesley said. "We've lost private invest
ment the last couple of years because the building's
not taken care of."
Upward party
announces campaign
for RHA exec spots.
The Upward party announced its candidacy for
RHA executive positions Monday night in Neihardt
Hall. John Christian, presidential candidate and
current RHA executive assistant, said "We are look
ing to raise your standard of living."
Requests for cable television in residence halls is
one way Upward plans to improve life in the halls,
said Christian, a freshman computer science major.
Other proposals include a standing food service
committee, increased programming and increased
sound system rental.
Lisa Bredthauer, vice presidential candidate, said
she is a strong supporter of RHA, having seen what it
has done and is able to do. Bredthauer, a sophomore
pre-physician's assistant major, is Smith Hall presi
dent, a health aide and a College Republicans
member.
Treasurer candidate, Tom Lauder, a sophomore
computer science major, is the present RHA trea
surer. Efeb Baker, a sophomore business major and cur
rent Neihardt representative, is the candidate for
secretary. Baker said the feasibility of cable televi
sion in hall lounges and rooms looks promising.
Housing Assistant Director Guriana Wittstruck.is
conducting a feasibility study that should be com
pleted within a week, Baker s aid. The proposed elim
ination of council salaries is evidence that Upward
is in the race to make a difference, not money, Baker
said. - : - '

Chemenlio appointed
, f.s new Soviet lecder
MOSCOW Konstantin Chcrnenko, 72, a
close aide to the late President Leonid Brezh
nev, was Monday appointed; leader of-the
Soviet Communist Party in succession to Yuri.
Andropovs The choice of Chcrnenko, a Siberian;
peasant's son who left school at 12, was widely
seen as a remarkable personal come-b etc !
and
a victory for the conservative, older generation ;
of party officials 'opposed to Andropov's re-'
forms, Chernehko is older than any of the five
previous Soviet leaders' were when they took
office. State !radio, and television announced
his "election , by , the. party Central Committee .
, four. days after Andropov's death. The post of
"state president, also held by Andropov,, re-.
; mains vacant Informed Soviet, sources said
resistance' 'to, Chernehko .from former . An-.

WASHINGTON A White House officialisaid " '
Monday it would welcome a meeting between
Vice President George Bush and Chernenko.
Bush is to attend the funeral in Moscow today
for Andropov, who died Thursday. Referring to
Bush's plans, the official said: "At this time, he .;
has not scheduled a meeting with the new '.
General Secretary (Chernenko). We would
welcome such a meeting." A senior adminis
tration official who asked not to be named said
that a meeting between Bush and Chernenko
was likely if the Soviet Union followed past ,
practice. -
Rertan, Hussein discuss Lebanon :
WASHINGTON President Reagan and Jord-; I
an's King Hussein Monday discussed the Leb- ..
anon situation and Jordanian fears it is divert
ing attention from the Middle East peace
process. Hussein returns to the White House
today foMunch with both Reagan and Egyp- :
tian President Hosni Mubarak. The two mod
erate Arab leaders arrived in Washington over
the weekend. A senior U.S. official who asked
not to be named said Hussein had long been
concerned that Lebanon had be come a diver
sion from the Middle East peace process. In the
United States, he added, the danger to 1,600
U.S. Marines stationed as a peacekeeping force
at Beirut's airport had caused Lebanon to
become a VS. "national obsession."
EMMETSBURG, Iowa Once again this year ,
the 4,500 residents cf Erametsburg will be
asked to forecast the winner of the presiden
tial election, by flushing their toilets, "We call it
the cess-poll," John Schad, owner cf radio sta
tion KEMB-FM told Reuters. Next Monday
when Iowans choose among the eight Demo
cratic presidential hopefuls in precinct cau
cuses across the state, the radio station will
attempt to forecast the outcome by asking its
listeners to flush on command to indicate their
support for the various candidates. The same
poll will be taken on general election day in -November.
Drops in the level of the town's water tower
translate into numbers of flushes COO for
every one-tenth foot and provide a yard
stick for public opinion, Schad said. Residents
of Palo Alto County of which Emmetsburg is
the county seat have voted for the winning
presidential candidate in every general elec
tion since the lEOOs, and the county is thus
considered a "bell weather" area by pollsters. 1
In 1930 the caucus day flush-poll correctly
forecast former President Jimmy Carter as a
two-to-one winner over his Democratic rival,
Sen. Edward Kennedy of M assachusetts. In the
general election poll that year, Emmetsburg
joined the rest of the nation in flushing Carter
away as President Reagan canty red the White .
