Babysitting
available
game days
Students from the University's day care center at the
United Ministries in Higher Education chapel are sponsoring a
babysitting service for Saturday football games. Interested
parents may bring their children to 333 No. 14th after 11 a.m.
The student volunteers are charging a minimum of 75 cents
an hour to help fund the day care center, which provides a
weekday babysitting service for the children of low income
UNL students.
Many of the workers are on a work-study program and are
trained and experiened in working with infants, according to
Mary Jo Ryan, coordinator.
Ryan said the center is currently in financial straits and is
opening up the football game service to raise money.
The center serves approximately 30 children each week
day.
Wage bill fate still undecided
No action has yet been taken on a dispute
between the U.S. Senate and House versions of
bills which would raise the federal minimum
wage.
Should congressional approval come before
adjournment, 52 million American workers
could receive a pay raise before year's end.
The Senate version calls for an immediate
increase of the minimum wage from $1.60 to
$2.20 per hour. The Senate bill would add
seven million workers to the 45 million already
covered by the minimum wage law.
Although the House-approved bill calls for
raising the minimum wage to $2 over a
two-year period, it provides for reduced
minimums for young workers.
Specifically, the House version lets
employers pay only 80 per cent of the
minimum wage for 16-to- 18-year-olds, for
students in the 18-to-20 year bracket and for
nonstudents in the 1 8-to-20-year bracket during
their first six months of employment.
Normal procedure calls for a Senate-House
conference committee to work out differences
between the bills.
But the House, in a rare move, voted to
reject the conferees selected by Rep. Carl
Perkins, D-Ky., chairman of the House
Education and Labor Committee.
According to a spokesman in Rep. Charles
Thone's office, six of the 10 conferees chosen
by Perkins favored the Senate version of the bill
and would put up no fight for the House
provisions.
Thone voted for the House bill, Vicky
Peckham, an aide in his Washington office, said.
He also voted to reject the proposed conferees.
Thone's opponent in the November election,
Darrell Berg, could not be reached for comment
on his position on the bill.
As yet, Perkins has not presented a new list
of proposed conferees.
The Senate bill would add federal, state and
local government employes, domestic, retail
workers in chain stores, and 100,000 additional
farm workers under federal minimum wage law.
That bill would force overtime pay not
presently required for some employes.
It's believed the question of expanded
coverage might be compromised if the Senate
agreed to exempt public employes from
overtime rights.
The reduced wage provision in the House bill
promises to be a more difficult question to
settle, sources say.
Peckham said Thone's office had received
numerous calls from Nebraskans urging him to
support the lower minimum wage for the
young.
Sentiment indicated that hiring young
workers would be more difficult if the wage
was raised too high, and would work against
students because of the transient nature of their
jobs.
