It's 'croak city' as
frog season opens
Ribbet.
Bullfrog hunters will be listening for that sound
July 15 when bullfrog season opens.
Ken Bouc, the Game and Parks Commission,
said a fishing permit is required for bullfrogging.
No shooting of bullfrogs is permitted, he said, but
hunters can use a hook and line, a bow and arrow,
a spear or their hands to grab the frogs.
The best hunting is at night, Bouc said, when
the frogs' eyes stand out in the dark. Lincoln bull
froggers hunt the Salt Valley Lakes for their prize
meal. People are after the frog legs which are
considered a delicacy, he said.
UN-L ag experts advise Syria
By Jill Shaw
Syria's University of Damascus may get some
friendly Nebraska advice to improve its animal
production program if the American International
Development agency approves a five-year grant.
Earl Gleaves, UN-L animal science professor, said
the request for the grant was presented by four
UN-L animal science professors, including Gleaves,
who recently completed a study of Syria's university
animal science programs.
The other three professors involved in the study were
Irv Omtvedt, Paul Guyer and Foster Owen.
Gleaves said the study was conducted during April
1978 on a request by the Syrian government, which
wanted help in its animal production program and
masters degree program in animal science.
Earlier grant
UN-L received a $45,000 grant from the federal
government to conduct the study.
The professors were selected because of their
training and experience in animal science, Gleaves
said, adding that UN-L was chosen from about eight
colleges and universities to conduct the study.
"One of the primary reasons that UN-L was chosen is
that its animal science department is under one head
department," Gleaves said. "This means that poultry,
dairy, swine, cattle and sheep are not separate
departments."
Three universities studied
The professors studied the animal science programs
of the University of Damascus, the University of
Lattakia and the University of Aleppo.
The study showed that Syria's universities lacked
appropriate facilities in their animal science depart
ments, Gleaves noted. He said university professors
are given a heavy teaching load and no time for
research.

78-79 budget up $30 million
Upcoming Concerts

Folsom Field in Boulder, Colo, on July 16.
Boulder will also host Fleetwood Mac on July 21 and
the Eagles and Steve Miller Band on July 29.
On July 25 the Charlie Daniels Band will be at the
Auditorium July 14.
The total operating budget for the University of
Nebraska will be $283 million for the 1978-79 fiscal
year, according to the UN-L budget director.
Brent Stevenson said the budget is about $30 million
higher than the 1977-78 budget.
Next year's budget gives the regents, chancellors
and president more control and flexibility in governing
the University and distributing funds, he said.
The legislature previously appropriated funds
according to the various programs (instruction,
utilities, fieldhouse, etc.), he said, but this year money
will be given directly to the campuses.
The money is split four ways, with the UN-L campus,
the University of Omaha campus, the Medical Center in
Omaha and central administration at Regents Hall
receiving lump sums.
Funds distributed to the campuses and administra
tion are for state aided programs such as grants or
contracts awarded to the University or for non-state
supported programs such as research projects thai
receive only federal funds, he said.
The money designated for the University
categorized as follows: general funds are those receive '
directly from the Legislature; cash includes tuitior
fees, etc.; federal funds supplement both state aid an
non state aided programs; and revolving funds induct
service oriented accounts such as the unions are
dorms. j
UN-L will receive the $159 million, for next year,
Stevenson said. The Legislature supplies $61 milliof ,
20 million is cash, $20 million is federal money, and $
million is revolving account funds.
The University of Omaha campus will receive $3

administration office $4 million. f
A minimum dollar figure was set for instruction cn
the campuses: $39 million at UN-L, $14 million at tf.a
Medical Center, and $12 million for UNO. f
