By Dick Piersol The Nebraska Legislative's Appropriations Committee Wednesday added almost $1 million to its NU budget recommendation before voting 7-2 to send the higher edu cation appropriations bill, LB690, to the floor for debate. The committee increased NLTs share of tax support for higher education with an amendment sponsored by Fremont Sen. Thome Johnson providing $919,546 to the Institute for Agriculture and Natural Resources. Johnson said the money was for programs originally requested by university administrators but not included in the commit tee's previous recommendations. Among programs affected by the amendment were: $200,000 for salary improvement at the institute; $70,000 for AGNET, a pilot program providing computer ized agricultural information; $273,000 for areas of excel lence including crop physiology, animal science and water resources management; $301,000 for increases in support staff at agricultural experiment stations and for coopera tive extension agents, $50,000 not included in the univer sity's request for additional staff members in animal health diagnostics; $15,000 for additional support staff members in sou conservation and survey and iiU.lAHJ ior additional staff members in water resources. The committee voted 6-1 with two members abstain ing to specify those expenditures. Johnson's amendment had provided the money in one sum to the institute. That addition increases the NU state general fund bud get for fiscal 1976-77 to $93.4 million, about $9 million -more than Gov. J. James Exon had recommended and $5.5 million more than the committee's earlier tentative budget. Committee Chairman Richard Marvel of Hastings has said he would oppose the NU budget in its current form on the Legislature's floor. Also approved was Utica Sen. Douglas Bereuter's amendment to authorize the NU Board of Regents to in crease resident and non-resident tuition by $2 a credit hour at UNL, the University of Nebraska at Omaha and the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources. Bereuter said the amendment was needed to allow the regents to determine line-item vetos the governor may make on the university budget. ASUN hears of UNL buildings' barriers By George Miller An appeal to make UNL buildings more accessible to handicapped persons was delivered to the ASUN Senate Wednesday night by a. panel representing handicapped persons. Speaking to the Senate were Rusty Lefebvre of Lincoln Mayor Helen Boosalis Committee for the Handicapped, CoUette Malalepszy of the Lincoln Mayor's Committee on Opportunities for the Disabled, Nancy Erickson, presi dent of the League for Human Dignity and Steve Slaikeu, executive director of the League for Human Dignity. The panel was called by Sen. Marie Engleke, Graduate College representative and chairman of an ASUN ad hoc committee investigating ways to make UNL buildings, especially the Nebraska Union, more accessible to persons in wheelchairs or otherwise disabled. Former ASUN Sen. Frank Thompson reminded the Senate of a resolution introduced by him and passed by the Senate last December creating the committee and going on record favoring more improved accessibility to buildings. Malalepszy said 15 to 18 buildings on UNL City and East Campuses are accessible to the handicapped. She said she called the university expressing interest in taking graduate courses and was advised to take them in acces sible buildings such as the Home Economics BIdg. Lefebvre said ramps on curbs around the campus are designed largely for bicycles, not wheelchairs, and that Campus Police should insure cars do not block these ramps. . ' Union Director Allen Bennet said the ramp on the west side of the Union was badly designed when built in 1959 but that it would take $40,000 to $50,000 to replace it. He said he has no plans for changes until a survey re garding new construction around the Union is made, which he said was requested by ASUN before any construction starts. .
