Since the change in the GI Dill of Rights
on Jan. 1, UNL and the Veterans Ad
ministration (VA) have been negotiating
regulations which prevent overspending of
veteran educational aid, said Ted Pfeifer,
UNL director of registration and records.
The Educational Assistance Program has
replaced the educational aid the GI ElH
previously supplied to veterans.
Under the Educational Assistance Pro
gram, the serviceman elects to pay from
$50 to' $75 each month toward educa
tional benefits. The payments will total a
third of the amount tzczbrzd for educa
tional benefits, accordkg to Sgt. Pad Ken
shak of the Army Recruiting Office.
. The government wl pay $2 for every
$1 ihe serviceman pays,' Konshak.. sdd.
lie added that any person who erd&sd
before Jan. 1, 1977, wiU be entitled to tfo'
GI E21 benefits. ... . 'S - .
Pfeifer said UNL is negotiating its Stan
dard of Progress report with the VA.
The regulations under negotiation will
measure the student veteran's progress in
school more closely, he said. The VA's
proposed regulations should cut down
overspending, he said.
The university has agreed to notify the
VA immediately of any veteran's suspen
sion so the VA can stop payment, Pfeifer
said. -
Beginning in the fall semester of 1977,
he said, the VA wO no longer pay a veter
an at the beginning of the month.
"This change is significant for veterans
in terms of budgeting their money," Pfeifer
said. ' ' ,
The veteran who has been suspended
from the university must have an interview
with the VA to receive funds even if the
student has regained university eligibility,
Pfeifer said.
A grade of incomplete, pass, withdraw
or fail wiJl not count toward the veteran's
eligibility requirements according to one of
the regulations being negotiated, he added.
Another regulation being negotiated
requires the university to notify the VA
of any dropped or added class on a
veteran's schedule. Pfeifer said that at this
time, it would be difficult, if not imposs
ible, to keep track of the drops and adds
and notify the VA.
Nickel won't buy : Lincoln's probl&m is s-day parking
compus.po
A nickel no longer can buy one hour of parking on the
UNL campus. Parking meters now cost 10 cents for one .
hour or 25 cents' for two hours of parking.
John Duve, parking and traffic coordinator for Campus
Police, said the increase was needed to help pay for 160
new meters bought to replace meters that have outlived
their lifespan. The meters cot about $100 each, he said.
A parking meter usually is expected to last about 10
years, Duve said, but there are some meters on campus
that are more than 15 years old. In fact, he added, the
meters a block north of the Nebraska Union are no longer
in production.
Duve said $20,000 was collected annually from the
meters before the increase with 75 per cent of it going
for maintenance.
A full-time worker is paid $10,000 to $12,000
annually to maintain the meters he said. Other expenses
include snow removal, replacement of old meters and the
patching of parking lot surfaces.
"We have to take in a certain amount of revenue to
maintain the lots," Duve said, "and the parking meter is
one way to do that." He said it costs about $5 a meter
to convert them to the new rate. '
Duve said the additional money . raised from the
increase can be used for more meters in the future and to
pay for increased parking space.
Lincoln apparently faces a different sort of problem
with its parking meters than Omaha does.
Omaha Mayor, Robert Cuanhghsm has suggested
removing parking meters from downtown to attract
more shoppers.
It was reported that $350,000 a year is taken in from
the meters, but the city makes only about $1,000 a year
from the meters because of maintenance costs.
Lincoln makes much more money from its meters,
however, said Tom Butcher, Lincoln's acting traffic
engineer. The city's problem is all-day parking.
Butcher said total revenue brought in by the meters
for 1976 was $206,000. He estimated that between
$140,000 to $150,000 of that was spent for maintenance,
and enforcement. "
This included parking meter maintenance cost of
printing tickets, and the salaries of a full-time repairman
and police officers who write parking tickets. '
The approximately $50,000 left over goes into the
general fund, Butcher said, and is used for such capital
improvements as building off-street parking lots and the
CentrriiWnR':3igft
I" said the parking meter
cfC v . . ?as increased from five cents to 10 cents
and parking fines were doubled from $1 to $2 to cut
down on all-day parking.
"There is a great need for short-time parking in the
downtown area," she said. A good percentage of the park
ing spaces is used by all-day parkers such as employes,
she said.
"By doubling the fines," she said, "we hope to free
more spaces for customers."
UNL to display Chicago architecture
A nationwide tour of Chicago architecture between
1880 and 1910 wO be on display at UNL's Architecture
Hail Gallery through Feb. 4, according to architecture!
instructor and shopmaster Roger Holmes. -
Holmes said the tour is supported by the Smithsonian
Traveling Exhibition Service and sponsored at UNL by the
College of Architecture.
The Smithsonian Institution describes the exhibit as
a selection of photographs and measured drawings of
structures that attained importance in the Chicago School
of Architecture between 1880 and 1910.
The exhibition traces the school's development and
includes work by renowned architects and engineers,
Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright.
Works were selected from files of the Historic
American Buildings Survey by the National Park Service,
which has financially supported intensive projects to
record significant Chicago structures.
Holmes said the exhibit was financed by the Architec
tural College Gallery and Exhibition Committee's budget,
which allows for two or three exhibitions from outside
the college during the semester. V
The Chicago exhibit will require limited security and
w21 use $200 to $250 of the committee's budget for
security costs, Holmes said.
