una: as the cost of'li
By Maxine Kubicek
The "inflationary spiral" and pressures
to continue cost sharing have made
continuing tuition increases at UNL likely
according to UNL Chancellor Roy Young!
Resident tuition at UNL is the second
highest in the Big 8 and Young said there is
little chance that the rate will be reduced.
'There are cost increases ahead in
every area, not just in higher education,"
he said. "With inflati
continue the sharing of costs at the
approximate rate they are now being
shared, it is unlikely that tuition rates will
remain the same."

Greeks:
i
no aue
for '77
By Mary Jo Pitzl
No concrete evidence exists to prove a Greek slate will
apperin Ms year's ASUN election, according to Greek
ASUN executive candidates and fraternity and sorority
leaders contacted this weekend.
Although fraternity and sorority members contacted
indicated they had no proof a' slate exists, some said
rumors indicate a slate may yet be released.
Last year, a Greek slate endorsing 50 Greek candidates
for ASUN positions was circulated to most fraternity and
sorority presidents two days before the election.
The Daily Nebraskan obtained a copy of the slate and
published it election day. The apparent theft of large
quantities of that edition was linked to ASUN election
coverage by Daily Nebraskan editor Vince Boucher.
The slate provided the impetus to fill the three execu
tive seats and 21 of the 35 senate positions with candi
dates endorsed by the Greek slate.
Repercussions of the slate's influence have carried
through" to the 77 elections and speculation on the
existence of a Greek slate has arisen this year..
Eric Carstenson, presidential candidate, said he has not
been contacted about a Greek slate endorsement. Since he
is'the only Greek presidential candidate, he said he "very
strongly suspects there will not be a Greek slate."
Carstenson speculated there may be two possibilities of
such a slate existing. One option is a Greek slate endorsing
him without his, knowledge, Carstenson said, and the
other is the slate endorsing the two Greeks running for
vice presidential positions with the Students for the
University Need (SUN) party.
"If there is a Greek slate and it is openly, fairly run, I
would want their endorsement," he said. He added he
would equally welcome endorsement by any open and
honest slate, whether it be from a residence hail or special
interest group.
He said he and -SUN presidential candidate Greg
Johnson agree that the Greek slate is "somewhat of a .
redundant and trite issue" and that the real issues con
cern the candidates' abilities.
SUN first and second vice presidential candidates,
Charles Fellingham and Ken Christofferson, respectively,
said they have not heard of a Greek slate or their endorse
ment by such a slate.
Fellingham said he will not accept any "under the
table" endorsements.
"If somebody wants to endorse me, they must identify
themselves and state their reasons for endorsing me,"
Fellingham said.
"I did not solicit any endorsement from a Greek slate
and I disavow any connection with a Greek slate," Chris
tofferson said.
"I hope I'm not endorsed," he said, adding "I hope
there's not even a Greek slate."
Lnterfratemity Council (IFC) president Ed Malone
and Panhellenic president Jill Yost agreed that to the
best of their knowledge there will not be a Greek slate
in the 77 elections.

whether increases in tuition at UNL
seriously would affect enrollment: UNL's
spring enrollment increased despite an
increase in tuition.
Tuition, was increased last year from
$18 to $20 a credit hour for Nebraska
residents and from $48.25 to $54 for non
residents. . "UNL may experience the same effect
(as UNO), but as long as the increase is
related to a general inflationary trend,
I doubt it will affect the majority of under
graduate students," Young said. "The cost
of tuition will rise in proportion to the cost
of living."
Young cited tuition adjustments within
the university budget as a "major problem"
in dealing with tuition increases.
It is difficult to control what feasibly
may be charged for tuition when adjust
ment in the budget is allowed only , on an
annusl and sometimes biannual basis, he
said.
Another difficulty in comparing tuition
rates of various universities, he said, is that
some universities charge a lump sum
regardless of the number of hours carried,
while others, such as NU, assess tuition per
credit hour.
Tuition at the University of Colorado is
the highest in the Big 8, followed by NU,
Iowa State University, University of
Missouri, University of Kansas, Kansas
State University, University of Oklahoma
and Oklahoma State University. Compari
sons are based on the total tuition and
student fees paid for 15 credit hours of
undergraduate study.

Like looking down from high places?
you re either strange or a rappeller
By Lisa Bromaii
If you can shake the initial shock of standing on the
top of a building, leaning over and then dropping down
the side with only a rope slowing your inertia, then rap
pelling could be the sport for you.
Rappelling, according to instructor Dave Cantrell, is
- a technique to travel from the top of something to a lower
level. .
The descent is accomplished by hooking a rope to a
harness called a Swiss seat, grabbing part of the rope
with the right hand, placing it in the small of your back
and guiding yourself down the building by sliding the
rope thro your left hand.
To protect novices against a fall, a man stands at the
bottom of the rope. If the rappeller slips or begins to fall,
the man at the bottom tightens the rope, leaving the
person hanging.
As part of an ROTC class activity last Thursday, mem
bers of the class and this reporter rappelled down the east
side of the Military and Naval Sciences Eldg.
Rappelling basically is used for fire, airlift, and moun
tain climbing rescues, Cantrell said.
ine actual technique of rappelling is simple, but the
many variations make it popular with the class, Cantrell
said.
After being assured that there is no danger of falling
and being told that the activity cannot be accurately re
ff? by 8011160116 who has never experienced its
thrills, I walked to the top of the roof trying to get
enough courage to use the faster way to the ground.
With right hand clutching the rope in the small of my
back and my left hand lightly guiding the rope in front of
me I stood on ths edge of the bisMing;
With mors encouragement and sswral minutes of wait
ing, I finally did what my fellow participants said: leaned
back until my body was parallel to the ground-and-literally
walked down the building side.
After the first big step, the walk down takes no special
skill or energy, but I took the easiest way down.
The rest of the class used their varied techniques, a sim
ple walk looked less impressive .
Cantrell said the greatest feeling comes when one
rappels down a mountain in the open spaces.

ulty dub dining room on March 18 as they had planned,
club president Virginia Corgan said Friday.
The dining room will stay open on a trial basis for the
rest of the semester with the Nebraska Union catering
food for the club From March 28 to May 6.
The club had decided earlier to close the dining room
because of high operation costs. However, the Faculty
Club executive board was authorized to search for options
to closing the club.
The dining room food previously had been provided by
a local catering service which cooked the food at the Fac
ulty Qub.Corgan said.
During the five weeks after spring break, the food
will be cooked at the Union and taken to the "Faculty
Club to be served, said Bob Rieheson, assistant director
for Union food services.
"If the Faculty dub building had been a block or two
farther away we would have taken another look at the
proposal," Rieheson said.
He added that the Union can cater for the Faculty
Club for less money than a regular catering business
because the Union doesn't charge a management fee.
Richard Armstrong, vice chancellor for Student Af
fairs -designate approved the plan, Corgan said.
The Faculty Club executive board had looked into
using space in the Unioafor the club, Corgan said.
Dave Roehr, president of the Union Advisory Board,
said the Union Board probably would not have approved'
giving the Faculty Club specific Union space because that
might be showing prejudice to one group.

Faculty Club catering and whether it would be profitable
