'The economy and the mood cf the
kg&ature mean the university will get less
than it asked for," Bereuter sdd Saturday.
In his annual budget messes Thursday,
Exon recommended sizable reductions in
the central administration find capital con
struction budgets. He proposed shifting
leadership from the central administration
to the individual campuses.
It is possible through budgeting for the
legislature to force the university to adopt
this type of administrative structure,
Bereuter said. -
Direction wanted
Bereuter said the governor and the
legislature want to give specific direction to
the university because of the large increases
in state appropriations to NU and "because
there is some dissatisfaction with regents'
priorities.'
The legislature gave $94.6 million to the
university for 1976-77, a 23 per cent in
crease over the 1975-76 allocation,
Bereuter cited dissatisfaction with
shuffling this year's cut away from central
administration. He criticized the regents
for violating legislative intent by using
funds from the plant operation and
maintenance budget to develop a program
statement for a proposed cardiovascular
unit at the University of Nebraska Medical
Center,
Last year the university asked for and
was denied $25,000 for the project.
The legislature could earmark money in
such a way that it could not be moved
around, said Hastings Sen. Richard Marvel.
Tuition due Feb. 16
Tuition is due Wednesday. Students should pay the
. amount indicated on tuition statements sent out recently.
Payments may be mailed or dropped in the box in
Administration 203. Students not paying by Wednesday
will be charged a $ 10 late fee.
Students who are to receive refunds should be able to
pick up their money about March 9.
Now chairman of the legislature's executive
committee, Marvel served 16 years on the
Appropristions Cc:r.ittcs.
"If we get to that point though, some
thing would have to give-prol-hly the uni
versity administration,' Marvel said.
Marvel said he docsnt favor "holding
the university down", but that "I am a
conservative like he (Exon) is, and my
reputation is such that I would be against
raising taxes," Marvel added he has not yet
analyzed the university budget in detail.
Gariflcation needed
Interim NU President Ronald Roskens
said he favors a clarification of the role of
reoioesv
governor's budget message is vague and did
not make clear where the cuts would come
from.
Roskens and Omaha Regent James
Moylan said the university has not con
sidered where they would take cuts if the
university does not receive the amount of
tax dollars it asked for this year.
"Ve11 have to wait to see how much
and where they cut it," Moylan said.
When the budget was sent to the legislature
in September, Moylan voted against it
T thought it was excessive," he said, "It
should be about 98 or 99 million," he said.
Moylan said the university can get by on

entmes purse strings
tightened by rising costs
By ?vl2ry Jo Htd
Has the cost of saying "I love you",
increased with the cost of living?
Comparisons cf flower and candy prices
in Lincoln reveal that although students are
not tightening their heart strings, they may
have to tighten the purse strings a bit.
The thorn is the side of the sweet
thought is the cost of roses, according to
local florists.
"Trices went quite extreme,'' said Eva
Ortiz, manager of Community Floral, 70th
and A Sts. Because of bad weather, the
rose crop is smaller this year than before,
Ortiz said. A dozen roses costs from $20 to
$30, compared to $15 to $20 a year ago,
she said.
Despite the general $5 increase, roses
seem to remain the most popular way to
say it with flowers on Valentine's Day.
Nancy Kramer, owner of Kramer Green
houses, Inc., 10th and Van Dora Sts. said
she sees little slack in rose sales.
"They do have the sentimental mean
ing, she said.
Mixed bouquets of spring flowers and
love bonnets are other popular Valentine
gifts, according to Robert -Dank hen,

remained about the same the past two

Diamonds also sell well at this time of
the year, according to Xany Napp,
manager of the jewelry department at
Brandeis, 1 1th and O streets. Prices average
in the $200 to $250 range, Napp said.
Anything to do with hearts or red is a
popular Valentine's item, according to a
clerk at Zales Jewelers, 1329 O St.
"Jewelry is a wise investment this year,"
Galen Walker, sales clerk at Sartor Hamaan
Jewelry, 1144 O St. said. Watches, dinner
rings and necklaces have been the' heaviest
selling items, costing from $50 to $200,
Walker said.
Novel gifts
For the non-traditionalist who prefers
to add a distinctive touch to a Valentine
gift, a little bit of looking may produce
some novel ways to say "I love you."
Giant heart-shaped sugar cookies decor
ated with personalized messages can be
bought at the Bakery in the Nebraska
Union for 99 cents.
Shakey's Pizza Parlor, 360 N. 48 St,
is offering a Valentine's special of a heart
shaped pizza.
Even the health food advocates have
been included in the Valentine gift giving.
A spokesman for Lincoln Health Foods
inc., 222 N. 14th SL, said he had a cus-
toner buy a bag of granola for his wife's
Valentine gift.
