After senate debate on the increase, Ugai proposed that Johnson's budget be given to the Budget and Fees Com mittee for review with the intent that the Senate would approve any solution they devised.

The Appropriations Committee has recommended state financing for these programs, Fejfar sdd, but GLC h lobbying to ensure that this appropriation remains in the budget. Fejfar added that the GLC supports the Appropriations Committee's recommended NU budget. It is pretty good if you compare their figures with those in the NU budget," she said. - Herman said GLC also is lobbying for Grand Island Sen. Ralph Kelly's landlord-tenant bill and amendments and are pressing for the bill to come up on the floor soon. The bill is "down the line quite a ways", Herman said, but GLC hopes it will reach the floor while UNL students still are in Lincoln. The bill may not be reviewed during this session, he added, , GLC is opposed to an amendment proposed to the landlord-tenant bill by Scottsbluff Sen. William Nichol, Herman said. He said Nichol, a landlord, "turned the bill around" and proposed that if the tenant fails to comply with his obligations, the landlord would be able to recover losses from the tenant. t h Ft m m I I - I n m p-ff fmi 11 i in iiWu1 The list of UNL housing director candidates has been narrowed to six by a screening committee that is "running a little ahead of schedule," according to Richard Arm strong, vice chancellor for academic affairs. Armstrong, former housing director, said Wednesday he urged a quick screening process so final candidates could visit the campus from May 2 through 13 to be inter viewed by students before summer. The 10-member screening committee which was appointed March 15 and includes two students, narrowed the list from 68 applicants, he said. "The committee and myself have selected two de finite candidates to visit the campus next week," Arm strong said. "A third candidate will be chosen from the remaining four," he added, narrowing the list to three. "" He said "seven! -focal staff. members" were included among the 63 applicants but.dsclbsi to say if any UiiL ' staff members were among the finalists. The position of housing director has been vacant since March 1 , leaving five assistant housing directors with operations responsibility, according to Armstrong. Glenn Schumann has been chairman of the group. "We are extremely fortunate to have strong assistant, directors," Armstrong said. "They have worked beauti fully and have the ability to reach high standards and maintain perfection." . He said he has asked Mike Gibson, Residence Hall Association President, to select four association members to be on the interviewing committee when candidates visit the campus. He said he plans on appointing the new housing director and "having him at work by July 1," which he said "would be about as quick as any recent search committee has acted." Although the original act included Webb Bancroft, a sophomore from Ralston, as the Force's chairman. Sen. Ted McConneil amended it so Bancroft only is temporary chairman. McConnia said this would give the Senate a chance to see how Bancroft works out and give the Task Force time to establish their -own leadership. The Senate will approve a permanent chairman by Sept 15. Johnson sdd his intent in appointing Bancroft as permanent chairman was to separate the Task Force as much as possible from ASUN. '. He would have rather seen the chairman chosen by the farce instead of ASUN, he said, adding lf the senate did r.ct like what- the force -wis doing, they rr.:;t net r appoint him." - - - .
