T & M workers receive several fringe benefits the union workers may not get," he said. Bowman said he could not quote wage rates for T & M employes. The labs in the 65-year -old veterinary science building are inadequate for the sophisticated research projects required today, according to Dr. Marvin Twiehaus, Veterinary Science Dept. chairman. To remedy this problem, plans call for construction of three new animal health buildings, including a diagnostic lab and a research center, oc East Campus. Fan of 1977 Olson Construction Co. began work on the research center last September, and is expected to finish by the fall of 1977, Nycum said. Construction of the diagnostic lab is scheduled to get under way this October, he added. Bids still are being accepted on the third . building, Nycum said. He estimated cost of the completed animal health buildings at $8 million. Construction is under way on the new East Campus Student Center. Work on the $3.8 million structure was begun in May by Kingery Construction Co., Nycum said, and is scheduled to be finished by the spring of 1977. The old student center will be returned to the Recreation Department. Two university-operated apartment houses, located at 16th and S Sts., were demolished this summer. The open corner will remain vacant for the time being, Nycum said. Evidence Evidence of summer work by Grounds Dept. includes renovated parking areas and construction of Mueller Mall. The new mall, which includes the area between Love Library and the Muellar Memorial Tower, is being furnisheu with new sidewalks, retaining walls, lighting and improved landscaping. The $50,000 project should be complete by the end of September, according to Jay Thody, assistant grounds director. The dirt-filled, wooden cul-de-sacs built in the two parking areas east of the Administration Building and Andrews Hall were designed to ease traffic and parking congestion, Thody said. The structures direct parking to the center of the lots, away from the curbs. Continued from p.! To economic questions, Harris said the country needs a $15 billion tax cut for low and middle-income citizens to be paid by ending "welfare for the rich". "In hearings on his nomination as vice president, Nelson Rockefeller revealed that in 1971 he paid no income tax. We ought to - sue J. Paul Getty and him for nonsupport," he said. Harris characterized the economy as a bulldozer with a fiscal lever controlled by Congress and a monetary lever only controlled by Federal Reserve Board Chairman Arthur "Third-degree" Burns. Harris said the key to prosperity is ensuring that anyone willing to work is employed. Although private employment is most desirable, he said, the federal government should have a pool of two million public service jobs to be used as necessary. In Scottsbluff, a postal worker agreed that he wanted fewer tax breaks and NU entertainment continued from pg. 22 silent films, the Shakespeare Film Series and films of D.W. Griffith and of Jean Renoir. Violinist Sergiu Luca, the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Bach Aria Group are three of the concerts in the fourth annual Performing Arts Series.

Special Edition This special edition of the Daily Nebraskan is meant to bring students up to date on summer activities and to aid new students' orientation. Regular publication will resume Monday. subsidies for wealthy Americans, but asked Harris what he would do to . stop welfare chiselers, specifically naming Mexican-Americans in that area who he said abuse free school lunch privileges. Harris replied that he was surprised a government employe of an unwieldy federal bureaucracy would complain about free school lunches. "If I make a mistake as President, it'll be in favor of those little ol kids getting free school lunches. We're talking about $94 billion in corporate subsidies to those who need it least," he said. Harris said he is committed, if elected, to the appointment of an attorney general who would prosecute anti-trust laws to the fullest and fight "crime in the suites." If anti-trust laws were vigorously enforced, price indices could drop 20 per cent as a result of "a healthy dose of free enterprise and competition," he said. . Harris said a return of government to the people could be gained by continuing changes in the electoral process that he said he helped start as Democratic National Chairman when he appointed the McGovern Commission to reform Democratic politics. His campaign, gathering momentum from the dimes and dollars collected in a bucket at each camper stop, also is attracting a share of admirers. Farmers, housewives, retired persons and local politicians were enthusiastic about Harris's appraoch and his pleas for support, if not his chances for election. The "us and them" politicking aimed at his ideal constituency, the "average family", had the audiences buzzing. As he headed westward on the Interstate 80 campaign trail, a Grand Island woman admitted, "I feel like I've been to a revival meeting." r -lia)' f ySXl erf. hmJ..
