But he said he wanted "to see what comes out of the meeting before I make any definite statements." Proposals may be introduced at the meeting, Sneddeker said, and the election rules-which will be in effect in next spring's elextions-will hopefully be written over the interim break. ASUN will then vote on the proposed changes at one of it's early meetings second semester, Sneddeker said. Voting turn-outs (with about 20,000 students) the last four years, Sneddeker estimated have been: 1,700, 1968; 2,000, 1969; 2,500, 1970; and 3,500-4,000, 1971.

The 1972-73 request of $86.8 million is $8.7 million higher than the current budget. The request includes $50 million from the state's general fund, an increase of $6.8 million over this year. THE LINCOLN CAMPUSES requested share of the pie, $52.1' million, is a 6.4 per cent increase. UNO's snare would be 14.5 per cent increase; The Medical Center's would be a 15.9 per cent increase. But all the requested increases still do not reflect the University's "legitimate needs," according to NU Pres. D.B. Varner. Rather, he told the committee, the request "reflects the political reality of this time." Varner said the increase is necessary to meet costs in three areas: faculty salaries, inflation and increased enrollement. SMALL SALARY increases in recent years are encouraging NU faculty members to form collective bargaining groups, Varner said. He said 50 per cent of UNO's faculty is already committed to collective bargaining. So the University is requesting an average 5 per cent salary increase in professional salaries and a $300 annual increase for nonprofessional employes. VARNER SAID the budget request, though intended to imporve the quality of NU's programs, was not enough to move the University to the top of the Big Eight conference academically, an oft-stated goal of NU's administration. Although the University's request for tax funds is $6.8 million more than it was granted last year, the request is three times less than NU asked last for last year. UNL Interim Chancellor C. Peter Magrath told the senators the Lincoln campuses are becoming less reluctant to eliminate unsatisfactory programs than in the past. Regent Robert Raun of Minden, chairman of the Board, told the committe it owes the state a strengthening of NU's educational programs to "continue producing individuals who are competitive in the tight job market."
