Lancaster, Douglas and Sarpy county residents who
regularly babysit children in their homes still will be sub
ject to State Welfare department regulation if LB372 be
comes law.
Residents of these counties will have to be li
censed by the state before they can care for children.
But under Grand Island Sen. Ralph Kelly's bill, which re
ceived second-round approval by the Legislature Friday,
residents of Nebraska's other 90 counties would have to
be licensed only if they care for more than five children,
excluding their own.
The Legislature has considered about 40 bills held over
from last session since it convened Jan. 4. Among the bills
given first-round approval are: LB223-introduced by
Omaha Sen. Patrick Venditte, would increase the penal
ties for driving while intoxicated.
LB65 -introduced by Omaha Sen. Ernest Chambers
would restrict high-speed police chases.
LB 165 -introduced by the Judiciary Committee,
would require that couples be at least 17 to be married
with parental consent.
Trie senators also adopted a resolution supporting the
farm strike, 48-0.
The Legislature still has about 130 holdover bills to
consider, and nearly 300 new bills. There are 52 working
days left in the session.
Senators will take a two-week recess for committee
hearings beginning Wednesday. The two-week recess will
not count against the 60 working days of the session.

The ASUN Government Liaison Committee CGLCWill
lobby for a bill regulating landlord's use of damage
deposit money and for the passage of the NU budget in
tact, according to GLC Co-chairman Mike Herman.
LB121 , a bill introduced in the last session to require
landlords to keep damage deposits in a separate bank
account and to prohibit them from using the money as
working capital, will top GLC's priority list, Herman said.
The bill is important, Herman said, "because the per
cent of students living off campus is pretty high, like 60
percent."
GLC also will urge the Nebraska Legislature to pass the
entire NU budget request, he said. Particularly important
to GLC is the approval of a nine percent faculty salary
increase.
But GLC will lobby the NU Board of Regents in op
position to a proposed tuition hike to $22.50 per credit
hour.
ASUN's main objection to the tuition increase is that
"the amount of cash generated. . is less than one percent
of the budget," Herman said.
Tuition at NU already is the highest in the Big 8, he
added.
The committee contacted nearly 300 parents at the
end of last semester "urging them to write their Regents"
about the increase, but parental response has been less
than he had hoped, Herman said.
GLC also will lobby against a bill proposing "that all
higher education institutions in Nebraska be governed by
one board of governors, Herman said.
On the national level, the committee is studying the
proposed tax credit bill before Congress which would
allow a tax credit to parents paying tuition to any educa
tional institution.
The committee is studying the stands taken by national
student lobbyists on the matter before taking a stand
themselves, Herman said.

Recently, some students received an ad offering a 5 discount on purchases.
Several items of note were omitted from that ad:
1. Nebraska Bookstore has, semester after semester, had more used textbooks
for sale than almost any other bookstore in the nation; vastly more than
any other store on this campus. Our unique ability to acquire used text
books assures you that you'll be paying less for your textbooks-25 less.
Last semester, over 40 of the textbooks that Nebraska Bookstore sold
were used. Unfortunately, used textbooks are not always obtainable
because the book is newly published or recently revised. But, if at all
possible, used books are on the shelves where you can find them and save
25 of the new price.
2. And what about school supplies? Historically, Nebraska Bookstore has
attempted to offer the lowest prices possible on pens, paper products, and
related supplies that you'll be needing for classes.
As you're standing in the check-out lines at the bookstores, remember that
it's not the size of the discount, but what the original price is that makes the
difference. In any case, the choice is yours. We urge you to shop and compare
before you buy.
