1 Moppnor Efc By Estira LttU One floor cf Heppner Ikll in the basement of Neihardt RcsiJtr.ce Center is suppose to be closing, but students living there don't want to leave. Richard Armstrong, housing director, said Tuesisy that last semester's Student Assistant (SA) for the floor, Chuck Beck, graduated, and the Neihardt staff must hire a new SA or relocate the occupants. , After meeting Tuesday with the students who refuse to leave, Armstrong said a decision will be made today, after OSGOTDGGTy' pi n y O hi n w pi n if ybi the Heppner residents look at alternative places to stay in Neihardt. - If students decide they want to stay and Neihardt Resident Director Wtr.cen Polly and staff agree, a decision will have to be made about a replacement for the SA, Armstrong said. have to have someone on the floor to take respon sibility," Armstrong said. "Whether he will be in the conventional form (an SA) or not, we don't know yet." Armstrong declined to say if the person responsible n vol. 100 no. 60 lincoln, neb. Students applying for scholarships or financial aid based on need or academic performance must complete a Financial Aid Form (FAF) from the UNL Office of Scholarships and Financial Aids, Administration 1 13, by March 1, said director Jack Ritchie. These students should complete the FAFs and mail them to the College Scholarship Service by the end of this month to insure their return before the deadline Ritchie said. Students applying for scholarships based only on aca demic performance, need only give their names and social ' security numbers to the financial aids office by March 1. orci The financial aids office awards scholarships based on academic ability then financial and work-study grants. The office also gives the names of academic scholar ship applicants to various UNL colleges for considera tion for specific scholarships. - Financial aid offered by the office other than scholar ships are national direct loans, supplemental grants, in centive grants and tuition waivers. Ritchie said $9.5 million is available for scholarships and loans for the 1977-78 school year. Approximately 6,009 students will receive some kind of financial assistance nest year, he said. would be paid. Polly srid the future of Heppner I!r.U basement resi dents is "ur.der negotiation." I prefer to get it done with," she mi. "I dont want it to be a btser deal than it is. It only deals with a- few peo ple intimately." She declined to comment about the outcome. Larry Glantz, a junior business administration major from Central City and a resident of Heppner, said "it's not fair." 1 Glantz, who has lived at Heppner for two years, said he and other residents have painted their rooms and put in carpeting at their own expense, Glantz and his roommate, Barry Niedfelt, a senior construction management major from Grand Island, plan on staying until they change the padlocks," Glantz said. Residents were given until Sunday or Monday to move out, Glantz said. He said he was told a lack of money was preventing the housing office from hiring an SA. . Glantz said he and his rornmate could be SAs, but were told they do not qualify. Although four students already have moved out, Glantz said, the remaining seven do not want to leave because they "just started a new semester, and our grades will get messed up and we'd have to fix up a new room again." - Glantz said he found out Friday of first semester finals week that they would have to move. . Armstrong said the Neihardt staff made the decision and he could not remember when he heard about it. tie said, however, the SA's intention to resign was known before Christmas. . Glantz said Ron Gierhan, acting vice chancellor for student affairs, said not enough students live on the floor to keep it open, and there are better places to live. Armstrong said the 15 beds in Heppner Hall are not all in use, and there are other vacancies in Neihardt. Ticket sale question closed - . .J Get the picture? fcf 12. A university investigation concerning the resale of a number of UNL football tickets has been discontinued because of a lack of evidence that the sales were in vio lation of National Collegiate Ahtletic Association (NCAA) regulations; said UNL Chancellor Roy Young, r Questions' were raised concerning a pos- sible violation of NCAA rules when two football tickets were purchased by a Dsily Nebraskan reporter in November for $20 each. , "" The tickets were identified by ticket clerk Marjorie Webster as part of a block of tickets which were issued to football players. NCAA rules prohibit the receipt by an athlete of more money than the face -value of the ticket. - - Young said he had received a report: from Athletic Director Bob Devaney con cerning Devaney's investigation of the mat ter. - - , , Devaney had tried to trace the source of the tickets, Young said, and had found that the tickets were from a section normally used for recruiting purposes. Devaney in dicated that about 150 tickets had been alloted for parents of freshmen, recruits and members of the scouting team, but '-. that- none 'w&fc -.tickets ofjctiw p layers, - Records are kept of all tickets issued : from the ticket office and of tickets sold by mail, Young said. However, he said that' when unused tickets are returned to the ticket office to be resold, there is no record of whom they belonged to and no way to trace them. Young said 95 tickets to the Nov. 26 Oklahoma-Nebraska game had not been used and had been returned for resale. "There does not appear to be. a viola tion of the rules and the investigation will not be continued," Young said. "The tick et operation here is running as well as any . in the country." " SMe's moisture deficit hits agricultural p i 0GK81D0 Nebraska weather is much lika a nationally advertised antiperspirant-arid and extra dry. The state is short of moisture and has been for about three years, said James Zoller, head of Nebraska National Weather Service. The shortage ranges from a one-inch deficit in the Panhandle and a four-inch deficit at North Flatte to a 12-inch deficit at Omaha. Northeast Nebraska has been hit even worse by a lack of moisture, he added. ; Agricultural loses in 1976 resulting from drought and unusually low livestock market prices were estimated to be about Sli billion by Germ Kreuseher, state agricul ture director. Kreuseher estimated farmers lost $150 million on the wheat crop and from $350 to $403 minion on feed grains last year. Cattle losses came to more than $603 minion ark losses on pork, sugar beets and other crops brought the damages to the $13 billion, he said. r . . . Vater level dtswn A decrease in the lend of the water table has been another result of the past three years of drought, Zoller said, and could increase the damage to crops. The moisture shortage picture probably wont brighten this winter. . - Winter is the worst time cf the year to make it up," ZcZzxizll. A rawfaS cf 12 inches is equal to about one inch of niii.
