Erskine says $100 million neede
By Sandy-Mohr
Just to "keep the place open" NU needs $100 million
in state genenil funds for the 1976-77 fiscal year, accord
ing to William Erskine, vice-president foi administration.
And if the university wants to compete with the top
three universities in the Big 8 Conference, Erskine said the
budget needs an additional "kicker" of $8 million.
Without the $8 million, which NU President D.B.
Varner proposed to the Nebraska Legislature's Appropria
tions Committee Feb. 9, NU is at a "standstill," Erskbie
said, because it has no money for improvements.
Gov. J. James Exon has proposed that NU receive $84
million while the Legislature proposed $88 million in
LB690.
A year and a half ago, Exon appointed a commission to
determine the amount of state general funds NU should
receive to equal the average of the top three Big 8 schools..
Erskine was the only NU representative on the 1202 Com
mission, chaired by Gus Licske, formerly head of the state
Administrative Services Dept. and currently vice-president
of an Omaha computer products company.
Exon had expressed his concern when the commission
was established that NU should be financed equal to the .
average of me top three Big 8 schools. . :
UNL would receive $8 mGion
. Hie commission said NU needed about $7.8 million in
additional state general funds to be in the topialf of the
Big8. . :

The $100 million is "just to get by without really im
proving the university at all," Erskine said. T
The largest share of the $7.8 million would go to the
Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources, he said.
About $3.5 million would go toward its instruction, con
servation, water resources," research and extension
programs. . . ' ; v , . - .
Erskine said the commission originally came up with a
figure of $7.7 million for the institute, but that was "a
little overstated" and later revised to $3.5 million.
UNL would receive $2.7 million of that $8 million.
This figure was not broken down for individual depart
ments or schools, he said.
More realistic, figure
However, Erskine said, he did not agree completely
with the. commission's figure and that a subsequent UNL
administration committee studying comparable programs
found that $5.6 million would be a more realistic figure
for UNL to be in the top half of the Big 8.
"The commission would never buy that," Erskine said.
"But I think $2.7 million wont achieve equity."
to derive an amount for UNO, Erskine said, the com
mission estimated about half of the suggested appropria
tion for UNL because UNO enrollment is about half that
of UNL. The commission allowed $1.4 million for UNO.
The commission found that the University of Nebraska
Medical Center comes closest of the four NU programs to
being in the top half of the Big 8, Erskine said. The medi
cal center would need $200,000 of the $8 million, he said.
