frtd3y,cpril 30,1976 daily ndbrzdksn reckenridgeio wear one hat Dy George F.IZ!cr When Roy Young becomes UNL Chancellor on June 1, it also w21 mean that Adam Breckenridge, UNL interim chancellor since Oct. 1 gives up one of two hats he has been wearing. In the seven months that Breckenridge has been as chancellor he also has served as vice-chancellor for academic affairs, the job he held when he was picked to replace James Zumberge who left Lincoln Oct. 1 to become president of Southern Methodist University in Dallas. ' ' Breckenridge said he thought his biggest accomplish ment while interim chancellor was "achieving better liaison with various campus groups' which includes students, other Nebraskans and interest groups, through lunches, meetings with groups and civic clubs and telephone conversations. Through all of this, Breckenridge said, he gained a better understanding of the interests and problems of the university staff and students than he otherwise would have. Ouifock the same However, he said, he doubted that his outlook or attitudes toward the university have changed much, mostly fcecause he has been a staff member for 30 years. His greatest disappointment, Breckenridge said, was that he had "hoped to get better acquainted with the department chairmen and learn more about their activities." He said he found he did not have the time to do all that he wanted, sometimes wishing that "there were two more days in a week." Breckenridge said he thought Zumberge's replace ment would have been found sooner,but said he never m4A him in take office until Mav or June since "it takes time for a person to pull up stakes and move to another city. . s Besides also serving as vice chancellor for academic affairs, Breckenridge said he also served as chairman of the Central Planning Commission, which makes recommendations for new buildings and remodeling, the Academic Planning Committee and the Teachers Council, which concerns itself with improvements in teaching techniques. . With additional tasks, Breckenridge said the chancellor's job is a "difficult one, but not an impos sible one. - ' . "You need degrees of- fortitude and you don't always do the popular thing, he said. "You have to make chokes. "If you wait until you know you are right (to make a decision), youH accomplish nothing," he said. Breckenridge said he does not think there will be an "erosion of jurisdiction fronf the individual NU campuses to the University Systems Office. Since the Nebraska Legislature created the current NU system with three campus and one central office, there was bound to be resentment on the part of the campuses toward the central office, which tries to coordinate the campuses, he said. After June 1, Breckenridge said, he w2I work with Young to acquaint him with UNL. He said he was "delighted' with Young, even though he has met him only a few times. Young is "sensitive to the interests and needs of the university," he said, adding that Oregon State Univer sity, where Young currently is vice-president for re search and graduate studies, has many programs similar toUNL's. r n n n h t J J ,y.: : - I ; t - t r, F i n o CflGStf DOT) FefeM ftoMOmftC,3 By Gail Smith At the April 17 NU Board of Regents meeting, Presi dent D. B. Varner said he would recommend a 10 per cent tuition increase for next year. - And several other Big 8 Conference schools also may be increasing their tuition and fee rates. Of the Big 8 schools, the University of Colorado (CU) had the highest resident and nonresident total tuition and fees for 1975-76 academic year. The University of Oklahoma (OU) has the lowest tuition and fees total in both categories, while NU had the second highest resident total and the third highest nonresident total. Reoisf rat ion ends for vofrs -to .Six pjn. Friday is the deadline for voter registration for the May 11 Nebraska primary election. American citi zens 18 years and older must register in their home town, but there are no residence requirements, according to a spokesman at the Lancaster County Election Commission. Two voter registration locations in Lincoln, open 8 ajn. to 6 pjn. Friday are the Gateway auditorium and the Lancaster County. Election Commissioner's Office, lower level County-City Bldg. 555 S. 10th St. The May 11 balloting will determine delegates to the national party conventions, and narrow the number of candidates for the NU Board of Regents, president, Lan caster County commissioner, UiL senators and a repre sentative from the first Congressional district. Three charter amendments also will be decided. UNL Young Democrats and Young Republicans chapters are not conducting organized voter registration drives, but the presidents of both groups said they are urging members to vote. Kent FElman, Young Republicans president, said his organization has polled its members to determine their voting trends and results have been sent to candidates. Fillman, junior business major from York, said Presi dent Ford and John McCollister Committee members are encouraging registration on campus. Sue Fox, sophomore agronomy major from Lincoln and acting president of Young Democrats, said campus registration was started in January during Walpurgisnacht, but no drive now is being conducted. The figures were" provided by Jim Knisely, UNL assistant comptroller. He said the Big 8 business officers meet once a year to discuss common problems and to exchange data, including tuition and fee rates. The figures are the totals for one student for a two-semester academic year averaging 30 hours. A tuition increase at CU is "very likely," according to William Douglas, dean of admissions and records. He said the Colorado Legislature still is preparing a bill that in cludes the CU appropriation. The size of the appropria tion wSl determine how much tuition rates would in crease, he added. - Cut ia special fees However, CU students special fees probably will decrease slightly next year, said Marge Koenig, who is in charge of assessing CU tuition and fees. She said the fees are not intended to gross more money than is needed for various activities and groups, and the current fee of $89.75 a semester was higher than the amount needed. Next year's fee for each semester probably will be $8925 for both residents and nonresidents, she said. But at the University of Kansas (KU), special fees will increase by 90 cents a semester, said William Kelly, associate dean of admissions and records. For residents and nonresidents, he said, the "campus privilege" fees will increase from $83 a semester to $83.90. Kelly said the major part of the increase is to support a "satellite' Union to be built on the KU campus. No in crease in the tuition charge currently is planned, he said. Kansas State University (KSU) also will raise its special fees next fall, according to Warren Strauss, an accountant in the KSU comptroller's office. Increased student health and recreation fees will increase the fee charged by $13 a semester or $26 for two semesters, he said, so the $122 two-semester charge for residents and nonresidents will become $148. No increase at KSU Strauss said no tuition increase now is planned for next fall at KSU. ; No tuition or fee increase is planned at Iowa State University (ISU) said Virginia Crow, administrative assistant to the ISU vice-president for business. For Oklahoma State University, the State Regents for Higher Education may approve an increase in tuition rates, said E. E. Davidson, vice-president for business and finance. Davidson said the Oklahoma Legislature has not decided on the appropriation for the state's higher education institutions. The state regents asked for a $40 million increase for higher education in Oklahoma, he said, but the Legislature has indicated the increase actually may be about $22 million. If the appropriation is not considered high enough to meet costs, Davidson said, there probably will be a tuition increase. MU maybe Donald Hoehle, fiscal business officer for the Univer sity of Missouri-Columbia (MU) said there may be an in crease in tuition and fees for MU students. Hoehle said MU system President C. Bryce Ratchford said in an April 23 letter to the university governing board, the Board of Curators, that he intended to propose a $30 a semester increase in resident tuition. An increase in nonresident tuition may be included also, Hoehle said.
