bill back
sat unloves wiU have to wait to find out how the Legislature
- - ' will vote on salary increases tor them.'
U n I CQ Oi The Unicameral Tuesday sent LB588 back to select file on its
final reading, after Sen. . JfK
amendments be added to it to insure auuiuuuo. au
bill.
Later the senators adopted the amendments and the bill was
sent back to enrollment and review where the amendments will be
added, before it comes before the legislators for final reading again.
Marsh said she did not know when the final reading would be.
Since the bill has an emergency clause, she said, 33 votes would
be needed to pass it.
One of the amendments changed the amount of an increase
employes can receive from 10 per cent of their present wages to
five per cent.
The other provided that reports dealing with pay increases
"shall recommend policies and processes for the future
incorporation of merit increase provisions in the class and pay
increases."
The third amendment changed an error that had been made in
the printing of the final bill. The amendment insured that
employes would have a five per cent pay increase.
Marsh said many employes were worried about this error
because it implied they might be given less than the five per cent.
LB588 provides for $13 million for state employe pay increases,
including $1 million for merit pay raises at the discretion of state
' agency supervisors.
The other $12 million is the basic Exon plan for wage increases
in fiscal 1976, which gives each employe a five per cent raise and
$468, to be distributed over the year in monthly amounts of $39.
No student fees used
Food service b even
The Food Service Department of the
Nebraska Union is not making money, but is
breaking even, according to Bob Richeson, food
service manager.
Richeson said the department, which includes
the North Crib, South Crib Vending Machines,
Cafeteria, Colonial dining room and catering does
not receive student fees for its operation, but
depends entirely on sales.
Richeson budgeted $601,700 for fiscal
1974-75 operations. He said he bases his
estimated budget on last year's budget and
includes food and labor cost hikes.
Hie 1974-75 budget is up $43,735 from the
1973-74 budget of $547,865. Richeson said the
budget must be approved by the chancellor.
Paid overtime
He said if his employes work overtime, they
must be paid extra. A downtown restaurant does
not have to pay overtime because tipping is
allowed. Tipping is not allowed in the union, he
said.
Richeson said he hopes to make about 1.16
per cent net profit. A restaurant operation of
similar size makes 10 to 15 per cent profit, he
said.
The department pays six per cent of its gross
for the maintenance of the area and use of union
offices and 3 per cent of the gross to the
university for overhead.
The problem arises that 91 cents of every
dollar earned is used in the operation, Richeson
said.
Richeson contends there is a minimal amount
of waste in union operations. Costs went up 16
per cent last year and Richeson said he expects
them to go higher.
17 employes
The department operates a central kitchen
and bakery, where 17 employes work.
Last year Richeson said labor costs were
$203,316. Budgeted labor costs were $244,000.
The minimum wage is paid to all employes.
Food costs went from $206,055 in 1973-74
to $223,700 in 1974-75, according to Richeson,
This represents a 15 to 18 per cent food cost
hike, he said.
In addition to food cost hikes, it is costing 33
per cent more for linens than it did last year at
this time. At the end of February it cost $5,000
for linens as compared to $3,500 at this time last
year.
Cost doubled
Richeson said the replacement of silverware
and china has doubled in the last year. Last year
replacement china cost $2,100 as compared to
$4,000 this year. Richeson said the replacements
are based on what is stolen or broken during the
year.
In all, Richeson said, he really operates at full
strength only three full months of the year.
"We are open during summer and breaks, but
the volume is considerably less," he said.
He said he normally loses money in January
because of the shorter time period the union is
open. He said he was in the red about $800 at
the end of February.
Richeson said he operates on fixed costs and
continually increases his budget to meet
increasing costs of operation.

Department this summer. John Lee, Willie Thornton, Steve Cade,
Chuck Jones and Jason Justice will be working with experienced
officers this summer and helping them carry out their regular
duties.
Using football players as summer time officers began in 1947.
According to acting police chief Dale Adams the football
players are hired chiefly as replacements for regular officers on
vacation.
Twelve football players who had summer jobs with the police
department have stayed on as full-time officers.
Sargent Eger, a training officer, said that the- athletic
department supplies the names of athletes interested in the
program. The players then apply and are-interviewed by the police
department. Eger said that five or six players are chosen every year
for the job.
"Uniforms are provided for the athletes hired by the police
department. Full time officers are required to pay part of the cost
of their uniforms.
Nebraska football coach Cletus Fischer said that many football
players are taking classes in criminal justice and became interested
in the police department through law enforcement courses.
