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. .
