Remarks by Robert Simmons, chairman of the NU
Board of Regents, "must not be allowed to stand unchall
enged', the president of the University of Nebraska at
Orrasha (UNO) Parent's Association said Thursday.
In letters to state senators from his regents' district,
Simmons questioned the size of the proposed UNO
Health, Physical Education and Recreation Bldg. Simmons
is from Scottsbluff.
Earl Ldnart, of the association, said, "It is regrettable
Hyde denounces
natural gas
Nebraska senators have received another letter from
Harlow Hyde, a State Department of Public Institutions
budget analyst.
Unlike Hyde's last letter to the Nebraska Legislature,
this one does not question NlTs budget requests, but it
does seek to prompt legislative action.
Hyde suggests senators "consider adopting legislation
which would prohibit the use of decorative natural gas
lights."
Claiming natural gas is a dwindling fuel, he said his
suggestion would benefit Nebraskans and signal the state's
sincerity "about conservation of both energy and our
natural resources."
Hyde quotes a Minnesota statute prohibiting decorative
gas lamps and urges that Nebraska follow Minnesota's
example. .
He said such legislation would curb the waste of
natural gas.
"little natural gas is available on the international
market at any price," Hyde said. He added that the recent
closing of many eastern industries because of a natural
gas shortage demonstrates that the United States economy
depends on the fuel.
He said a mobile home park near his home has more
than 100 natural gas lights, each of which burns two
elements 24 hours a day.
"A couple of dozen carbon arc lights would provide
more light than these and of course would only be utilized
during the night," He wrote.

that the chairman of the board should find it expedient
to undercut the board's position .with state government.
Simmon's much-publicized letters, disclosed recently,
also commented on the selection of Ronald Roskens as
interim NU president and on the influence of local busi
nesses on NU administrators.
UNO parents should not interpret "Simmon's unfor
tunate and misleading remarks as reflecting the position
of the Board of Regents on this project," Leinart said.
"It should be reasonable," he said, o hope in the
future Regent Chairman Simmons would be disposed to '
support the actions of the entire Board of Regents even
when he is in the minority of one on a vote."
"He (Simmons) should feel an obligation to support .
and encourage favorable support for the budget request
approved by the very Board of which he was, and is, a
member," Leinart said.
He said the parent's association' agrees with Simmons
that the building should not cost more than $6 million.
However, he said, the cost would not have risen to $7.4
million except for vetoes by Gov. J. James Exon and in
flation. '
Exon has vetoed money tor the building twice. It has
been high on the regent's capital construction priority
list since 1973 when money was appropriated for plan
ning. It currently is second on the priority list behind re
modeling of campus buildings. ' .

The changing of the guard . in Washington left
Nebraska's Model United Nations (NMUN) without a
speaker for awhile.
Shari Patrick, secretary general of NMUN, said she had
asked Richard Gardner, law professor at Columbia Univer
sity, to be keynote speaker for this year's NMUN.
"He kept putting us off, saying he couldn't be sure
he'd be available," Patrick said. "1
She said she guessed he was waiting for an appointment
to a cabinet post in the Carter administration. Gardner
recently was named U.S. ambassador to Italy. ,
She said that after the November election she contact
ed several persons in Ford's administration to see if they
would be available to speak at NMUN. None of them
wanted to commit themselves until after the inauguration,
she said.
Plans to have James Howe as keynote speaker were not
completed until mid-January, Patrick said. Howe is senior
fellow of the Overseas Development Council in Washington
D.C. and, a UNL alumnus. Last year's keynote
speaker, James Schlesinger, agreed in October 1975 to
speak at the February NMUN.
Sara Boatman, program manager for the Nebraska
Union, said the Talks and Topics committee has not
discussed asking anyone from the Ford administration to
speak at UNL She said the Talks and Topics budget for
this year, about $ 16,000, already is committed.
Next year's speakers will not be decided until late
this spring, she said.
Apparently there is little demand elsewhere at UNL for
the now-unemployed members of the Ford administra
tion. Several college deans and department chairman con
tacted said there were no plans, at least for now, to get
persons from the Ford administration to lecture at UNL
FAB sets deadline for new budgets.
The Fees Allocations Board voted Thursday night to
take away student fees money from UNL organizations
that haven't submitted a revised budget or audit by Feb.
8.
Among. the organizations that haven't submitted bud
gets are the Fencing Club, Soccer Club, Rifle Club,
Cornhusker Water Polo Club, Tractor Club, Engineering
Executive Board, Student Social Work Club and the Na
tional Student Speech and Hearing Club, according to
Sherry Cole, chairman.
FAB granted time extensions for submitting budgets
to the Daily Nebraskan, Cultural Center and Afro Ameri
can Collegiate Society upon their requests.
Dave Ware, chairman of the Major Fee User Commit
tee of FAB submitted a report on the Nebraska Union
budget for 1976-77.
He recommended in his report that the subsidy for the
Nebraska Unions 1977-78 budget remain at essentially
the same level. ... .
Ware said his committee recommended that "some
economics be practiced in the advertising budget and open
tions budget of the Union.
Ware said the Get it Together at the Union advertising
campaign was of major concern in the advertising budget.
