UNL9 UNO campuses to close between semesters
By Michelle Carr
The NU Board of Regents voted Friday to close the
UNL and UNO campuses during the 1979 semester break,
created a committee to study unauthorized UNL football
ticket sales by students and faculty, and established
capital construction priorities for 1980-81,
The regents approved the campus closings as a measure
to conserve energy and cut down on utility costs.
The plan could save tlje university $10,000 a day,
according to William Ersklne, executive vice president for
administration.
In the past, non-professional university employees got
lour days off during the vacation - Dec. 24, 25, 31 and
Jan. 1 . With the new plan, employees will not work from
Dec. 22 to Jan, 6 Two spring holidays will be transferred
to December and employees will be required to take
vacation for the other four days.
Regent Robert Prokop of Wilber suggested the board
look into the unauthorized use of UNL football tickets by
students and faculty who cannot sell them to others,
under university policy.
Prokop said that in one issue of the Daily Nebraskan,
he noticed 12 ads to sell and buy football tickets, even
though the policy states that the tickets are for student
use only. Prokop said he called one student who wanted
to buy tickets and the student replied that he already had
bought 150 tickets.
PROKOP CALLED FOR a stronger enforcement of the
policy, stating that currently students are given only a
brief reprimand after tickets are confiscated.
Prokop said he is concerned with ticket sales
"especially when people of the state are interested in
going to the games."
The board appointed Bud Cuca, UNL student regent,
Prokop, Richard Armstrong, vice chancellor for student
affairs, and UNL athletic director Bob Devaney to a
committee to suggest possible enforcement practices.
The committee Will study a photograph identification
system to prevent ticket abuse, Cuca said.
The regents also approved capital construction
priorities, including the renovation of Bessey Hall, which
was moved from the eleventh priority to the fifth.
REGENT KERMIT WAGNER of Schuyler questioned
the status of the Bessey Hall renovation, saying that using
other buildings more efficiently during the day and night
could eliminate the ne jd to renovate Bessey Hall.
"Instead of spending money (for renovation) we
should utilize classroom space to a higher density,"
Wagner said.
However, Regent Edward Schwartzkopf of Lincoln,
said Bessey Hall is being renovated to house classes that
require laboratories and cannot be in other buildings.

The regents also revised the other priorities on the
proposed priority list. UNO land acquisition was moved
from fourth priority to 13th. Prokop said he could seeno
reason for UNO to acquire land at this time.
University-wide energy conservation Is the first
priority. The regents will request $4,267,000 from state
funds in 1980 for the projects cost.
The second priority is remodeling the UNL
Agricultural Engineering building on East Campus.
IN OTHER &UDGET ACTION, the regents approved a
recommendation to require the administration to submit
three different budget proposals to the board.
Regent James Moylan of Omaha recommended that
the administration submit a budget figured at a 15 percent
Increase In state aid, a 10 percent Increase and a 7 percent
Increase in case the Legislature does not grant the
requested 15 percent raise.
Wagner said preparing three budgets would require
more work on the part of the administrators. Moylan
replied, "It wiU take less work than It wUl next spring",
referring to the revisions in budget that must be done if
the Legislature refuses to fund a part of the budget.
Schwartzkopf said the regents need to be firm in their
budget requests.
Schwartzkopf said If the regents were not prepared to
fight for the requests, the Legislature will set a 7 percent
increase as the maximum.
Schwartkopf said he could not see how the university
could operate on only a 7 percent increase.
