Legislature overrides renovations veto
The governor's veto of $250,000 to plan the renova
tions of two UNL buildings was overridden by the
Nebraska Legislature Wednesday.
On a 30-9 vote the legislators restored the money for
NU in LB956, the state capitol-construction appropria
tion bill. The $250,000 will pay for planning the restora
tions of Architecture Hall and the Temple Theatre Build
ing. The bill calls for the remodeling to cost no more than
$8.4 million for Architecture Hall and $6 million for the
theater building.
Plans for Architecture Hall remodeling and additions
call for the building to be connected to the Former Law
building behind it by an atrium. The Former Law build
ing will be encased by a new structure.
Discussing the override motions, Sen. Douglas Bereut
er said Architecture Hall should be preserved for its "his
torical value." The building is registered with the Nation
al Register for Historic Places.
The governor did not veto another $100,000 to plan
the remodeling of the Agricultural Engineering Building
on East Campus. That project is expected to cost $2.4
million.
Funds for planning renovation of NU buildings total
$350,000.
The Legislature had authorized another $688,000 for
NU capital construction.
The allocations had included $250,000 for miscellane
ous renovations, another $250,000 for "life safety im
provements," and $138,000 for land purchases. The
governor vetoed the entire appropriation for all of the
miscellaneous renovations and the Legislature did not
override. Exon vetoed $85,000 that had been allocated.

ASUN to take YAF to student court
By Kris Hansen
ASUN passed a resolution in support of Nebraska
University Public Interest Research Group (NUPIRG)
and a bill to file a petition against Young Americans
for Freedom (YAF) with Student Court in action
Wednesday night.
The senate bill instructed President Ken Marienau
to file a petition listing all charges against YAF with
Student Court. The petition would also recommend ac
tion to be taken against YAF.
"We can recommend any tiling from no action, press
conferences, or student hearings all the way to revoking
their constitution," said Marienau. "However, I person
ally would recommend against revoking their consti
tution, since it won't solve the problem. They can just
move off campus and do the same thing."
Marienau has not yet decided what course of action he
will recommend to Student Court, but he intends to file
the petition before the end of the semester. Any
action taken against YAF will be decided by the court.
The senate also passed a resolution supporting
NUPIRG unconditionally during any of the proceedings
which may follow.
In other business, ASUN passed a resolution to support
the Women's Resource Center (WRC), which "is in peril
because of a demagogic campaign by certain groups and
individuals which threatens WRC's very existence." The
resolution detailed many services WRC provides and
recommends that it receives money to continue operating
on campus.
John Scholz, vice chairman of the chemistry depart
ment, presented a proposal for the NU Board of Regents
to ASUN during open forum. The plan proposed charging
laboratory fees to students in chemistry, life science, art
and music labs to stop the problem of rising costs.
"Over the last few years, inflation increases in lab
courses, chemicals, supplies, specimens and instruments
have gone out of sight. Operating budgets have been in
creasing slowly, but operating expenses have become
bizarre," said Scholz.
The charges, which would be between $5 and $10,
would try to make up the difference between costs and
the budget allocated. Scholz added that the fees would en
able several parts of the program which had been phased
out because of high costs to be replaced in the program.
Scholz said because of the lateness of the presentation,
no action could be taken on the proposal until next
spring, and probably would not be until the '78-'79 school
year.
A spokesman from the Afro-American Collegiate So
ciety presented the results of a study on black students
on campus and the major problems they recognized. After
noting the low number of black faculty members and
black-oriented courses, the major problem was defined as
the high drop-out rate. According to the report, one out
of three or four students drop out before graduation. The
report will be considered by ASUN.
