Legislature Tuesday. -
It was contained in an amendment to 1X690, approved
by senators 27-13. Debate and amendments to this
amendment are expected to continue today.
Currently under question in LC590 are additions in the
Appropriations Committee's amendment which would
give NU nearly $45 million in additional funds.
Vcrk lasJ redaction questioned
These additions include about $26 million for salary
increases for both professional and nonprofessional
employes; $300,000 for University of Nebraska at Omala
parity; $850jOOO for improvement of UNL undergraduate
education; $450,000 for use at the University of Nebraska
Medical Center; and $919,000 for improvement of the
UNL Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
The senators Monday appropriated $194,000 to the
Public Welfare Dept. for payments to medical center doc
tors treating crippled children.
Tuesday, they reversed their decision.
Omaha Sen. Glenn Goodrich had said medical center
doctors cannot be paid for services to crippled children
who are welfare patients.
He said the patients had been transferred across the
street from the medical center to Ckrkson Hospital in
Omaha so that the 'doctors could be paid from state
Hruska says Senate will approve S1
VS. Sen. Roman Hruska (R-Neb.), said Monday that
a bill to consolidate the federal criminal code will be
passed by the Senate this year.
Hruska, speaking to UNL students at the Law College,
said Senate BUI 1 (SI), the Criminal Justice Reform Act
of 1975, is "a betterment of present laws."
The 800-page bill, of which Hruska said 360 pages per
tain directly to the criminal code, contains 80 per cent
noncontroversial material, he said.
Hruska added that controversial parts of the bill, es
pecially provisions for the death penalty and the publica
tion of classified information, probably will be eliminated
by the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is now working
on SI. . "
Paul Rothstein, Georgetown University law professor
serving as a consultant to the Senate Judiciary Committee
on SI, joined Hruska and told students the biQ is "more
civil libertarian that present law." SI critics claim the bill
will endanger First Amendment Constitutional rights of
free speech and press.
Civil liberty groups are opposing the bill because "it
doesn't go far enough," Rothstein said. If it did go all the
way, he added, "it wouldn't get through (Congress)."
Hoard drops its
res meal plan
Union Advisory Board voted unanimously last
week to "not accept any more free meals" from the
Nebraska Union. H
However, Union Board President Mike Shanahan
noted the discontinuation of free meals applies only
to the existing board and "does not set the policy
for future boards."
Earlier this year, the Fees Allocation Board
(FAB) recommended the free meal practice be dis
continued. It argued that Union Board was the only
student board receiving this form of compensation.
Furthermore, FAB policy forbids student fee
money from being used for food, parties or trans
portation for individuals, FAB contended.
Union Director Allen Bennett said FAB would be
informed of Union Board's decision.
Ik said free meals had been a Union policy since
1938.
"It was simply a matter of convenience,"
Bennett said.
new student coalition
"The goal of student governance should be the effective in
volvement of students in the policy formulation and decision
making processes of the institution. Perceived in this way. the
range of experiences available to the students is limited only
by the competence, vision and creativity of the students,
faculty and administration."
