Dribblers complete long lay-up The Trans-Nebraska Basketball Dribble finally came to an end late Sunday when the three teams of dribblers-committed to raising money for a former UNL student ill with Hodgkin's disease-pounded the ball down Dodge Street to downtown Omaha. The 35 students, including eight coeds, passed through the Capital City about 7:30 a.m. Sunday morning. The last leg of their 500-mile trip was Highway 6 through Waverly, Greenwood, Ashland and Gretna. Mark "Johnson of Omaha, one of the benefit leaders, termed financial support thus far as "great." All the dribblees are residents of the Harper-Schramm-Smith Dormitory complex. They averaged about 6 miles an hour. Donations thus far for Gary Koepke, who dropped out of school at mid-year with the disease, are reportedly past $6,000. Omaha Council, will operate full time next year with financial support from the NU Foundation. Its goal is to strengthen the teaching-learning process at the University. The Board was warned by presidents of nine foreign student groups on the Lincoln campus that proposed non-resident tuition increases pose "grave problems to a large and significant number of our group." In a letter to the Regents, the foreign students said that because immigration regulations require them to carry at least 12 credit hours, the proposed increase would mean an additional cost of at least $225 a year. About 362 of 55 1 foreign students would face "special problems," the letter stated. THE GROUP urged, the Regents to establish a delayed tuition payment plan, increase scholarship aid, and encourage federal authorities to issue summer work permits for international students. r f p 43 m One 7f(we 7teief Celebrate With THIS &30 NIGHTLY SB MM where one plus solitaire to one and create one Sem'qj Lincoln Simet JSCS . nw -or JTCIT Registered Jewelers American Gem Society Ctl!
