A population comparable to last year's "bumber crop"
will greet this year's cock pheasant hunters as they take to
the fields Saturday, for the opening of pheasant season.
Last year's increased number of birds and this year's
equal number has been the result of more rainfall during
the last two seasons, according to Norm Dey of the State
Game and Parks Commission.
The central and west part of the state south of the
Platte River has the best supply of birds in the state. Dey
said the habitat is better in those areas. Snowfall in the
western area of the state this week should also aid the
hunters in bringing home their limits for the weekend
(daily bag limit-3, possession limit-9). Snow cover takes
the pheasant's natural camouflage for the late fall
season.
January 31. Pheasant season lasts until Jan. 7. The num
ber of quail in the state also is near last year's number.
The daily bag limit for quaU is six and the possession limit
is 18.
For those who haven't yet purchased a hunting license
for the year, the cost is $6.50 for the license and $7.50
for the habitat stamp required for pheasant season. The
Federal duck stamp also is $7.50 and this can be pur
chased only at federal offices such as the post office.
The UNL Department of .Recreation has sold 11
licenses in October, and they expect to sell double that .
amount in November.
The number of hunters has increased 10 to 15 percent
during last year, according to the Game and Parks Com
mission. There had been a sharp drop-off during the early
to mid-seventies.
. . . e 4 . , . , , "There was a loss in bird population," Dey said. "And
The quail season also begins Saturday, lasting through so there wasn't enough to stimulate hunter participation."
For three or four years, the State has instituted a hunt
er safety propgram, mandatory for people 12 to 16 years
old. The program has produced good results Dey said. '
"I think the kids are getting a better awareness of hunt
ing, and they also have more appreciation for wildlife,"
Dey said.
The main aspect of the program is safety, a problem
Nebraska has never seriously had, Dey said.
, "We've never had a major problem with accidents, but
I suppose any accident is major," Dey said. "Our numbers
(of accidents) have always been lower than most of the
other states."
When traveling through to the countryside this week
end don't be surprised to see cars stopped at state areas
and highway spots.
The state is putting an increased number of field
people on location for collecting data on people's hunting
success, Dey said.

"Education at all levels is of prime consequence to the
welfare of the state, not-just today, but tomorrow and
forever," he said.
Roskens said he believes it is the university's role and
obligation to help Nebraska realize it is not a poor state.
The university exists because of the "largesse" of the
people in the state, he explained.
"Our economy is based on agriculture and agri-business.
There is no commodity that will be more necessary
in the future and thus our economic circumstances in
Nebraska are assured," he said.
If enrollment at NU should decline in the next few
years, it would be up to the state to provide funds to keep
the university a first-rate institution, Roskens said.
"I am aware that people are fed up with taxes. I under
stand that mentality. But mentality cannot be confused
with ability to supply those facets of the state," he said.
Roskens said althougrfhis 'position 'as president is sub
ject to harsh criticism and pressures, he considers himself
fortunate because he is able to leave his worries at the
office.
"I'M VERY FORTUNATE in my makeup-maybe it's
hereditary -that I am able to close the door when I leave
the office," he said.
He said he has a "sixth sense'' that someday he will
leave the administrative arena, and possibly enter a private
business or return to the farm.
"I have a deep feeling about agriculture and getting out
and sniffing and working with soil. It's a real recreation
for me," he said.
When pressures at the office build up, Roskens said he
enjoys visiting his farm in Iowa because it gives him a
chance to relax.
"All of us on occasion wish for, look for a moment in
reflection, for variety. Personally, I just get myself out of
here," he said. .
He said he doesn't mix his job with his family, which
he described as "closely knit."
The family does not discuss the university, or what he
does, Roskens said. His daughters, Elizabeth, Barbara and
Brenda, don't live at home any longer, but his son William
does. Roskens said his children have told him they appre
ciate his separation of professional and personal life.

. "WE'RE NOT A family that spends time on ego trips
with respects to the responsibilities I bear," he said,
Roskens said he enjoys "just being around" his family,
and sharing in their activities, too.
However, when scheduling doesn't permit this, he said
his wife, Lois, understands the situation.
"My responsibilities as president are here at the office.
She does not pretend to be responsible for the administra-'
tion of the university," he said.
Still, he said, his schedule sometimes gets him "into
trouble."
"If upcoming events include both of us, I may just for
get to tell her until the last minute," he said.
Whatever his schedule is, however, Roskens said he
always finds time to jog. He said he feels he has an obliga
tion to be physically as well as mentally fit.
"It's also my obligation to urge my associates. I cajole
them a lot," he said.

Getting student loans harder,
other kinds of aid available
Offutt runway repair
no problem
Air traffic that was transferred to Lincoln Municipal
Airport because of runway repairs at Offutt Air Force
Base caused no problems for Lincoln airport personnel,
private and commercial flights.
Rolland Harr, airport executive director for the Lin
coln Municipal Airport said Air Force personnel from
Omaha were brought to Lincoln for maintenance and se
curity. They leased a building and area of the landing
apron and paid rental and landing fees at Lincoln.
Harr said the added military air traffic through Lincoln
didn't affect private or commercial flights since air traffic
at Lincoln could easily double without any serious prob
lem. The Air National Guard and Army Guard are already
based at the airport.
No additional equipment or personnel were required,
said Quentin Reichmuth, chief 'of the air traffic control
tower in Lincoln. Some 747 aircrafts, which are not
scheduled to stop in Lincoln through any commercial air
lines, were based in Lincoln during the transfer. However,
Reichmuth said, these planes have used the Lincoln air
port for training mission flights and pattern work.
About one-third of the Offutt operation air traffic was
transferred to Lincoln. The rest was channeled to Ells
worth Air Base in Rapid City, S J)., and Eppley Airfield in
Omaha, Harr said.
An Offutt official said the runway at Offutt was closed
for extensive concrete repair work and all flying missions
were tranferred to the other airports. He said 100 military
personnel from Offutt stayed in motels and hotels in Lin
coln, but have returned to the Omaha base. .
Favorable weather was one of the factors contributing
to finishing runway, construction before the original
Nov. 13 completion date.

Federally guaranteed student loans will
be harder to get next semester because of
repercussions from the tightening money
market, but money will still be available
from other sectors, the director of the
Office of Scholarships and Financial Aids
said.
u Financial Aid Director Don Aripoli said,
We want students to be aware that feder
ally insured loans will be hard to get, but
we don't .want them to give up hope. There
are other types of aid and other banks may
Pitch in and fill the gap."
The gap is left by thcUnion Bank and
Trust Co. of Lincoln , which used to be the
biggest lender for .student loans, Aripoli
said. Rising credit rates have cut into the
bank's secondary market, preventing it
from loaning students money.
Aripoli explained that loan money
arrived through a chain reaction. The stu
dent borrows money and leaves a promis
sory note with the bank, who in turn sells
" to the Nebraska Higher Education Loan
jrogram, a non-profit corporation formed
to raise cash for loans and sell bonds to
buy the notes. ,
. hife tne educational loan program sells
"s bonds at 8 percent interest, people can
y United States Treasury bonds for 11
Percent less than current rates, Aripoli said.
People are not buying the educational loan
bonds and they cannot buy the promissory
ntes, cutting off loan funds, he said.
The Higher Education Loan Program,
which has delayed its December bond sale
because of the credit rates, probably will
start selling as soon as the rates drop, Ari
poli said.
Aripoli said the Union Bank would pro
cess all loans received before the Oct. 22
cut-off date, but will not accept future
loans. He added, however, that students'
home-town banks will often make the
loans.
Aripoli said that UNL is lucky because
most students who planned on a loan have
already applied, unlike many other col
leges. He added that the cut-back occurred
early enough for students to find alternate
means of borrowing money before next
semester begins.
Aripoli said other types of aid, available
through the scholarships and financial aids
office, were available for next semester.
Applications for basic and supplemental
grants, work-study programs and national
direct student loans for next semester came
out Wednesday, he said.
"We look at it (federally insured loans)
as a last resort anyway," he said. "We
would rather get you a grant, a scholarship,
a job or a three percent loan before it.
Well help you with a less costly payment,
program."
Aripoli said more than 3,500 students
guaranteed loans, amounting to more than
$7 million in aid, have already been award
ed this year.
