The East Campus Annual Western Week
will kick off at 9 a.m. Monday when more

meet Gov. J. James Exon.
The week-long event, Monday through
Sunday, will be highlighted by the UNRA's
11th annual intercollegiate rodeo. Four

Lincoln Army and Western, Vanice GMC,
East Union, the UNL Animal Science
Department or from any UNRA member.
Advance prices are $2.50 adults and $1 for
children. Prices at the door will be 50 cents
more.
The traditional Western Week Games
Day will be April 7 on the north side of the
tractor testing track beginning at 2:30
p.m., according to Tony Warner, East
Union program and recreation manager.
Warner said teams of UNL students may
enter the bale stacking race, tug-of-war and
arm wrestling competition by filling out
entry blanks available at the North 40
recreation area in the East Union.
New additions to the games are foosball,
pool and pinball tournaments to be in the

The tournaments are open to UNL stu

entry, he said.
UNL's Block and Bridle Club will
contribute to an Old West feeling with
quarter horse and beef shows, according to
club president Doug Winz. The quarter
horse shows, April 6 and 7, are open to
anyone with a registered quarter horse, he
said. The owner of the horse winning the
most points in the show's 35 classes will
receive a hand-tooled saddle from the club,
he said. The show will be in the State Fair
grounds Coliseum.
The beef show, open to 4-H and Future
Farmers of America exhibitors, will be
April 8 at the State Fair 4-H Arena. The
exhibitors will show in breeding heifer,
market steer and market heifer classes,
Winz said.
Other events include a chili supper
sponsored by UNRA and Alpha Tau Alpha,
an agricultural honorary, and a Western
movie sponsored by the UNL FFA Club,
both on April 6.
Alumni members increase
The 9 percent membership increase last
year in the University of Nebraska Alumni
Association is credited to aggressive
membership selling according to Jack
Miller, executive vice president of the
association.
"The economy has turned up a bit," he
said, "and we were much more aggressive
in selling memberships than last year. We
mailed more letters encouraging alumni to
join."
Miller said the association also formed
alumni groups in the college of agriculture,
home economics and nursing.
"These groups are affiliated with our
organization paying the $12 annual fee but
paying $3 more into their own college
alumni group," he said.
Miller said University of Nebraska
alumni who were graduated in the past
three years pay a half-price rate of $6 for
annual membership dues. Alumni who
were graduated 45 or more years ago are
also eligible for the half price rate.
Life memberships cost $200, he added.
Membership in the association increased
by 1, 187 during 1977. The most signifi
cant gain was in life memberships with 5 1 9
new members, which was a 20 percent in
crease. The association gained 161 paid
life members, a 9.6 percent climb.
There are 53,089 alumni living in Ne
braska, 6,650 of which are paying members
of the association.

Proposed NU budget lean,
allows no extras Roskens
NU will get no new programs and no
substantial additions to existing pro
grams if the Nebraska Legislature passes
the proposed university budget, said
president Ronald Roskens at the March
meeting of the NU Board of Regents.
The budget Roskens proposed to the
Legislature included a 10.5 percent in
crease over last year's budget. But
the budget approved by the Appropria
tions Committee and under considera
tion by the Legislature only includes a
6.8 percent increase, Roskens said.
"The (proposed) budget is lean, if
not austere," Roskens said at the March
18 meeting.
The first priority is still faculty
salaries, Roskens said. "Some other
pressing needs may have to be deferred"
in order to raise faculty salaries 9
percent and other staff salaries 7 per
cent, he said.
The budget under consideration by
the Legislature includes a 6.5 percent
increase for all NU employees.
Roskens told the regents that be
cause of the decreasing amount of tax
money available to the university, they
should reorder their priorities for the
future, reduce programs and "review
academic overhead."
The board also approved hew re
quirements for student government
candidates.
Beginning July 1, candidates for
president and vice presidents of the
student government at the three
campuses will have to be taking at least
six credit hours, be in at least their
sophomore year and be elected by a
majority of the students voting.
Those seeking other student govern
ment offices must have a grade point
average of at least 2.0 and not be on
academic or disciplinary probation.
In other action, the board refused to
reinstate former UNL women's basket
ball coach George Nicodemus. Nico
demus was fired from UNL last May.
Johnson cautions senate
Outgoing ASUN President Greg Johnson
advised the new ASUN senate Wednesday
night that three of their campaign goals,
instituting a voting student regent, getting
alcohol on campus and calling a constitu
tional convention "just won't pan out."
Johnson said that it would be highly un
likely that the current NU Board of
Regents would approve either a voting stu
dent regent or alcohol on campus.
He also said that he has seen other stu
dent governments "flounder" in the midst
of a constitutional convention, such as
the University of Nebraska-Omaha.
Recapping the past term, Johnson called
the past year the "rennaissance of student
government," commending the senators for
taking stands on stadium expansion, quali
ty education, speakers on campus, student
fee and tuition increases, parking and stu
dent services.
Vice president Charles Fellingham and
Ken Christoffer-x-n also thanked the senate
for their work in their final executive re
ports of the term, challenging the new
senate to continue their work.
Richard Armstrong, vice chancellor of
student affairs briefly addressed the senate,
saying "the direction (of ASUN) is uphill."
Johnson also presented four distin
guished service awards to persons making
significant contributions to ASUN: Bob
Lange, attorney for Student Legal Ser
vices, Mike Brogan, chairman of ASUN
Budget and Fees Committee, Mike
Herman, chairman of Government Liaison
Committee and Scott Cook a senator
serving three terms who resigned first
semester upon graduation.
The new senators took their seats at the
table midway through the meeting after
being formally sworn in.
After brief executive reports, new first
vice president Bob Moodie appointed sena
tors to two ad hoc committees, one
forming rules of procedure for the new
senate and another examining the feasi
bility of holding a constitutional
convention.
The committees will present recom
mendations to the senate next week.
NO. Coors beer, like any other
beer, is at its best when it is
first packaged. From then on,
time and elevated tempera
tures begin their steady deter
ioration of flavor. To help
preserve the peak flavor of its
beer longer, Coors refrigerates
its product from the moment
it is packaged at the brewery
until it is delivered to distrib
utors in turn, are required to
store the beer in refrigerated
warehouses and deliver it in
refrigerated trucks to local
retailers. Distributors also
make every effort to encourge
retailers to keep Coors beer
cold in the retail outlets.
