A raise in student fees and the price of non-conference
football tickets will be considered by the NU Board of
Regents at its regular monthly meeting Saturday.
The regents also are expected to move into closed
session during the meeting to discuss the progress of the
search to find a replacement for outgoing NU President
D. B. Vainer.
The meeting will lack one of its usual participants.
Steven Shovers, University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO)
student body president and student regent, was ousted
last week by the UNO student senate.
Interim President Nancy Norenberg does not have the
power to serve as student regent under the UNO constitu
tion, but will attend the meeting as an observer.
On the lengthy agenda will be a proposal to place a SI
surcharge on tickets to non-conference football tickets
during the 1977 season.
The added revenue from tickets to the Washington
State, Alabama, Baylor and Indiana games would go to
help finance the UNL Intercollegiate Athletic Dept.
The regents are expected to approve a $3.50 increase in
student fees to repay the surplus fund of the student fees
and facilities revenue bonds for the cost of construction
of the Nebraska East Union.
Out of the total 54340,000 cost of the East Union,
$3,83 1,000 was to be paid from the surplus fund.
The board was to vote a $4 increase in student fees at
its October meeting, but delayed that action. However,
after this, NU administrators cut their" request from $4 to
$3.50 per semester for each student registered for more
than six credit hours. This is to become effective with the
start of the 1977-78 fall semester.
The regents .also will vote to approve guidelines to
clarify which appointments of academic-administrative
personnel need to be approved by the regents themselves
and which can be approved by the president or the
chancellors of the three NU campuses.
The regents also will consider approving a formal
development fellowship program for NU faculty members.
The program would set down policy so that permanent
faculty at the university may be awarded fellowships to
pursue research, artistic activity or the study of teaching
or professional innovationsVhich will improve the faculty
member's ability to contribute to the academic program
at the University of Nebraska," according to the proposal.
1 A proposal sponsored by Adam Breckenridge, UNL
vice chancellor of academic affairs, also will be discussed.
The proposal would establish a center for Great Plains
studies at UNL. This would be a center for study and
research into all aspects of the Great Plains, including
cultural and physical environment, heritage, people,
institutions and economy.
Breckenridge notes that UNL is the only land-grant
university in die Great Plains states that has its
archives, museums, agricultural college, research center,
state capital and university press in the same city. His
proposal argues that "this unique collection of resources
should be marshalled to combine efforts in the arts and
humanities with those in the physical and social sciences
to explore, document, and interpret the cultural and
physical heritage of the peoples in the Great Plains."
Also on the agenda is a proposal to purchase nearly
$5,000 in art objects for the F. M. Hall Collection in the
Sheldon Art Gallery. The money would come from the
F. M. Hall bequest made to the university in 1929 for the
purchase of paintings, sculptures and other works for the
NU Art Gallery.

He said thai if a solution to this problem is not found,

Exon said Kreuscher would be one of his top candi
dates for the job, but declined' to say who his other top
choices woidd be. - ' " ' ' '
- - "He is rae cf the few persons in the United States that
should be considered for this," he added.
Director mtve 1970
Kreuscher has been the director of agriculture since
1970. He currently is president of the Mid-American Agri
culture Council. He also is a former farm editor for The
Lincoln Evening JournaL r
Last week Exon said he would forward to Carter the
name of Norfork lawyer Vincent Kirby. Kriby has said he
would like to be secretary of agriculture.
Several local farm leaden said they would like to see a
Nebraskan named to the post, but added that they think
it will never happen.
' Lewis Wiebe, president of Farmer's Union, said, "I
think he (Kreuscher) would make a capable secretary. He
has shown more impetus toward helping the farmer than
any other director of agriculture.
Gilbert Erickson, general manager of Farmland
Industries, Nebraska division, said Kreuscher is a "very,
competent individual.
He probably understands agriculture as good as anyone
I can think of,! he added.
Others mentioned
But while all say Kreuscher would be a capable
secretary, other names were mentioned as possibilities.
Some have even mentioned NU President D. B. Varner.
Patt Patitz, executive director of the Nebraska Water
Resources Association, said she heard Varner' s name
mentioned at the national convention of the Water Re-
source Association.
"This was not the association talking, this was several
individuals in the association, she sail
"He (Varner) has been a most avid speaker to &e
problems that have faced Nebraska and the water users of
Nebraska, she sail "These are just the comments of
some of the members, she addel '
v Another name that has been mentioned is Minnesota
Director of Agriculture Jim Wiefoli -
v Uzzz submitted - '
Oren Lee Staley, president of the National Farmer's
Organization (NFO), said the Minnesota delegation sub
mitted Wiefold's name to the NFO convention. He said
the Nebraska delegation has not submitted Kreuscher s
name. . -
Staley said the NFO would cooperate with Carter's
choice. .
Howard Elm, secretary of the .Nebraska Alfalfa De
hydrator's Association, said he would do anything he
could to help Kreuscher become secretary of agriculture.
I would certainly reconusend hhn, he ssil He hss
done a good job here, and he knows sericulture. lie has
been associated with it all his life.
Erickson said Kreuscher has learned more about griia
exporting than anyone else. lie said this was cuportant
because mere than 25 per cent cf the gxaia rown in Ne
braska is exported. " '
Patitz said Kreuscher has fccca a strong vodl r.-ppcrtrr
of the farmer, tut added thst there are ethers who are jut
as qualified as Kreuscher.
