Page 2 Summer Nebraskan, Thursday, July 13, 1978 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.

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.
