New visitation passed
Liberalization, violation, confusion and
continuation were the order at this
r's NU Board of Regcnee
Approval of a modified UNL residence
hali TvStation policy, violation of thjj 1 new
Nebraska open meetings law, confuston of
the board'V legal relationship to the
Nebraska Legislature and w of
UNL's policy of distrtouung
complimentary football tickets were
among the actions taken by the board.
At its first summer meeting in June, the
board approved 10 ajn. to 2 ajn. visitation
Ks, effective this fall, for UNL residence
halls. Last semester visitation hours were
from 1 1 ajn. to 1 ajn.
UberaUzation of the policy passed only
after prolonged discussion and several vote
changes.
Rather decrease
Regent Robert Koefoot from Grand
Island siae he would rather "decrease the
number of hours instead of increase them.
Omaha Regent James Moylan agreed.
Lincoln Regent Ed Schwartzkopf also
opposed the liberalized visitation. Regent
Robert Prokop from Wilber abstained.
The policy change failed by one vote on
the first count.
Koefoot offered to change his vote
(which would pass the recommendation) if
Ken Bader, UNL vice chancellor for
student affairs, who sponsored the change,
would promise not to raise the visitation
issue for one year.
While Bader replied this would be a
difficult promise for him to mak because
students and their needs always are
changing, Prokop changed his vote, giving
the proposal the one vote it needed to pass.
Violated law
After the meeting, Lancaster County
Attorney Ron Lahners said the board had
violated Nebraska's new open meeting law.
The board had met with NU Athletic
Director Bob Devaney in an unannounced
closed meeting before the formal session.'
However, Lahners decided not to
prosecute the board because he said his
investigation revealed board members did
not "knowingly" break the law.
During the June meeting, the regents
also decided to go to court for a judicial
determination of the constitutional
division of powers between the regents and
the Nebraska Legislature.
Legal questions
Warren Johnson, the board's attorney,
said there are serious legal questions about
the state's ability to direct the regents'
actions regarding employe practices,
construction contracts, building plans,
purchases, expenditures and bequests.
In recent years there has been a trend
toward more control by the Legislature, he
said.
At the Julv meeting, the regents decided
that UNls policy of distributing
complimentary football tickets would not
change this year.
Prokop, chairman of the ticket
committee, recommended that the student
regents be given two season tickets in
students sections and 10 season tickets in
the stadium.
The other regents axe eligible to receive
the same number, but their tickets are
issued in the press box.
eet increase
This summer the board also gave its
support to and agreed to ask the 1976
Legislature for a 20 per cent budget
increase sought by NU president D.B.
Varner.
The $15 million increase would boost
the university's share of state tax money
from $76.2 million to more than $90
million. In his report to the board, Varner
said NU could make a strong case for a
substantially larger increase in tax dollars.
Specific budget figures will be presented
to the regents at their September 6 meeting
in Omaha. The proposed budget will be
presented to the Legislature early next
year.
In other action this summer the board
approved the construction of a new' $1.1'
million plant science building on East
Campus.
