common sense with regard to
safety. He said all cords should
be kept away from crepe paper
or other flammable decorations
to prevent fires. Also, it is recom
mended that an outlet not be
overloaded with too many ap

Zatechka said although arti
ficial trees are allowed, real trees
are not permitted in the halls
because they get dry end become
fire hazards.

Tuition rates depend cn many

The fJU Bosxd of Regents i3
expected to set a 10 percent tui
tion increase for 1035-83. The
regents also have asked the state
Legislature for almost $33 billion

Defense Attorney William Mor
row and Special Prosecu tor Kirk
E. Naylor will square of! today as
the trial of Attorney General Paul
Douglas opens after a week-long
search for jurors.
Nine men and three women
were selected from a group of 24
prospective jurors Friday to
complete the jury selection pro
cess. Two women were picked in
addition as alternates in the event
that on of the jurors becomes"
incapacitated.
Although both counsels ap
proved the jurors, Morrow has
made it clear that he thinks the
jury is inenpabla of reaching a
fair, nenblased verdict. A defense
.aide Thursday showed J udge Jef
fre Cheuvront the results of a
survey cf Lancaster County resi
dents designed to measure any
prejudice they might have about
Douglas' innocence. According to
the study, about 70 percent of the
people contacted said that they
believe Douglas is guilty.

Chuck Zimmerman, architect
for. the fire marshall's office
said artiSeal trees must be fire
retardant and of a lUted-pipe
' variety. He $id they cannot be
placed in any area that 'might
obstruct exits or hallways.
Students wishing to burn
Christmas candles or have Ad
vent wreaths may do so under
current housing policies, but the
lighting of candles in the halls is
highly discouraged, according
to Zatechka.

nance cf the physical plant, he
said.
Student tuition does not pay
for research, public services or
"auxiliary" expenses for the stu
dent unions and other operations,
Allen said.
"Ve think it's unfair to finance
research and public service out
of student fees," Allen said.
Money for these expenses
comes from government grants
and contracts, private gifts and
sales and service income, Allen
said.
UNL resident students bear
about a third of the total educa
tional cost3 through tuition and
fees, Allen said. According to uni
versity records, educational costs
totaled 193,785,754 in 1C03-G4.
Revenue from, tuition and fees
was $28,820,016, or about 31 per
cent of the costs.

.'A(S ar.ee ' motion to remove
three jurors on the grounds that
they were n ot properly registered
voters in Lancaster County was
overruled by Cheuvront By law,
all jurors must be registered
voters in the county.
Cheuvront squelched another
defense motion Friday to move
the trial outstate. It was Mor
row's second attemp t at a change
of venue and Cheuvront's second
veto.
Morrow could ask Cheuvront
to keep the jurors in isolated
quarters, keeping them immune
to news accounts of and public
reaction to the proceeding. When
asked if he would saek such an
order, Morrow said, "no comment."
Douglas faces a falony charge
alleging that he lied -under oath
to the Legislature's Special Com
monwealth Committee. He also is
accused cf obstructing govern
ment operations when he alleged
ly revealed contents of a letter
