Theft increase
Washington An increase in theft pushed the nation's
crime rate up 3 per cent during the first six months of this
year, compared with the same period a year ago, the FBI
reported Thursday. Although the six other crime categor
ies declined, an 1 1 per cent surge in thefts was enough to
produce an over-all increase in the crimes measure by the
FBI's Uniform Crime Reports. Thefts were up in cities,
suburbs and rural areas alike and in all parts of the
country. The FBI figures are based on crimes reported to
9,160 state and local police agencies. Other studies have
shown that the cumber of crimes actually committed far
exceeds the number reported to police. ,

Wheelchair romp
an prcorej
rnftriirfion rihns are mcfjts&nsi for a new wfi.
chair ramp at the northwest corner of the Nebraska
Union, according to Allen Dennett, Uhbn director.
Dennett said the new ramp wi3 hare an electric eye
operated door opening into the northeast comer of the
main lounge. This will benefit the blind who sometimes
break their canes in the revohixrg doors, he saU. -
The S3OJ0O3 plan also calls for a window-wall interior
with an air-handling unit that will heat cr cool the
entrance as needed, Dennett sail.
lie said the S30XX), approved last May by ASUN and
the Nebraska Ifeioa Advisory Daard, comes from student
fees in the Union's bond reserve account. Part of this
money will be used for replacing the Union's southwest
wheelchair ramp with a platform, step and electrically
operated lift, he said.
The lift would serve people on crutches and in wheel
chairs who hpve difficulty with the long ramp, Bennett
said. 1
The new ramp .will not slope as sharply as the old one,
he said, and it will have an electric heating system in the
concrete to keep office and snow.
Dennett said he thinks there are about 17 wheelchair
students at UNL.
"The assumption placed before us by the student
government and the board is (that) one handicapped
person is (enough to warrant construction), Dennett said.
"As far as the federal government is concerned, any
handic?pped person should have free and ready access to
any university bu03ing,w he said. "Vere responding to
the need with or without a law.
lie said he is hoping construction will start in late
autumn. -
