A pro football game
between the Baltimore Colts
and the Atlanta Falcons
scheduled for Aug. 16 in
Memorial Stadium received
approval from the NU Board of
Regents at their formal
meeting Saturday.
Estimated expense for the
game was about $40,000 and
the university and the two
teams would split any profit.
In addition, the regents
noted that the game complies
with Big Eight Conference
rules and would take place
prior to the start of the UNL
football season.
The regents also approved
the construction of a $4.3
million East Campus Student
Center, which will be financed
by revenue bonds.
2001 deadline
The bonds will be allowed
to run until the year 2001 and
will be paid off by student
fees, said Warren (Bud)
Johnson, attorney for the
board.
About 100 UNL students
attended the informal regents
meeting Friday at 8 p.m. to
voice opinions on the proposed
25 cent charge for intercampus
bus rides.
They told the regents that
persons taking classes on both
campuses could end up paying
$100 a year for bus fare.
Now, students with bus
passes or 10 cents can ride the
bus. The system is supported
by funds from parking permits
and reportedly operates at a
deficit.
The board also discussed the'
financing, operating costs andi
status of the new fieldhouse.
An estimated $590,000 is

UNL Student Regent Jim Say and

needed for one year's
operation, said Bill Swanson,
corporate secretary.
Daily use
Regent Ed Schwartzkopf, of
Lincoln said he saw a need for
intercollegiate sports and the
daily use of the fieldhouse for
practice.
But Scottsbluff Regent
Robert Simmons said the
fieldhouse is the "biggest white
elephant we've got, and the
university could be better off if
it didn't have" anything to do
with it."
Omaha Regent Kermit
Hansen said iiewould like to
see the building separated from
the board and still let the
university "have something to
. do with it." He agreed with
Wilber Regent Robert Prokop's
suggestion for creating a
governing board composed of
repn!s and State Fair Board
members.
UNL Chancellor James
Zumberge said, "The athletic
director would be very
disappointed" if he had to
reserve the fieldhouse every
time he needed it.
Separate financing
The board decided to
continue seeking separate
financing, and asked Swanson
to investigate the alternatives.
In addition, the board
approved NU President D.B.
Vamer's recommendations for
faculty promotions but
postponed action on his tenure
recommendations until the
May meeting.
Schwartzkopf, chairman of
the regent's academic affairs
committee, reported that the.
committee was concerned
"over the percentage of
tenured faculty within the

Regent attorney Warren Johnson attended Saturday's
otner tnuigs, were discussed
university as a whole and
within the Lincoln campuses in.
particular." '
This postponement means
18 Medical Center and 154
UNL teachers may not receive
tenure until next month.
Schwartzkopf said in hopes
that NU will continue bringing
young faculty members into
the system, the committee
recommends that Zumberge
devise a plan to insure the
number of tenured faculty at
UNL won't exceed 75 per cent
ot the total number eligible.
Tenure plan
This plan, a study of tenure
policies, and a recommenda
tion to the board to reduce the
tenure percentage in the next
few years, will be presented to
the regents next month.
In other business, Swanson
presented a legislative update.
He said the 5 per cent of
salary plus $468 faculty salary
plan passed the Unicameral and
is awaiting approval by the
governor.
The outcome of the plan
should be known next week,
he said, but there are
"indications that the governor
will veto."
In addition, Varner said he
was concerned that the
Appropriations Committee
only recommended $142,836
for UNL rather than the almost
$600,000 he requested.
UNO Chancellor Ronald
Roskens said the amount of
tuition generated from
out-of-state students is much
smaller at UNO than in the
past.
More residents
Total credit hours are
increasing, but more students
are paying resident tuition, he

said. The money Varner
requested is necessary to make
up for anticipated tuition
losses, he said.
Varner also said he was
disappointed that agriculture
research received only about
$450,000 rather than $3.4
million he requested.
"We believe research
programs are vital to the future
of the university," he said.
"The university has been a
leader in agricultural
extension. . .and it would be an
embarrassment to the state if
we said we weren't interested."
