LR 75 committee to hearASUN
By Michelle Carr
The ASUN presentation at a legislative hearing Friday
will be based on comments, not recommendations,
according to ASUN President Bud Cuca.
Cuca said the ASUN presentation will be two-fold. The
inadequate financing of the university is one problem ; the
university structure is another.
Structurally, the university is a "big, bureaucratic in
stitution." A decision must be made "to decide what each
unit within the institution should be," he said.
Legislative Resolution 75, introduced by Bellevue Sen.
Frank Lewis, proposes to study how the university drafts
its budgets. The LR 75 special study committee will
address the formulation of the budget at the Friday hearing.
Iranians threatened
in letter to NETV
A letter sent to the Nebraska Educational Television
Network threatening the safety of Iranians in Lincoln if
Americans in Iran are harmed, has been given to the FBI
-for investigation, according to NETV Program Director
Ron Hull.
Calling the letter "very threatening to the safety of
people who are guest to our country," Hull said the letter
did not direct station personnel to release it "on the air.
He said he thinks a similar letter also was received by
KOLN-KGIN TV, Channel 10 in Lincoln and by the three
major Omaha stations.
He also said that the FBI requested the birthdates and
names of all NETV personnel who handled the letter, but
that he does not know the status of their investigation.
The letter was addressed to the NETV news depart
ment, but was forwarded to Hull because that station does
not have a separate department handling news, Hull said.
He said he has no idea why NETV was the target of such a
letter. . '
Officials at KOLN TV were unavailable for comment
Thursday night. .

Cuca said he plans to tell the-legislators that the univer
sity is at a crossroads and this year's budget decision will
"make it's fate for many years to come."
Cuca, and ASUN Sen. Brad Belt, will represent ASUN
at the hearing. Cuca said he will comment about the in
adequacies the university is facing, such as problems with
the utility budget, equipment budget and various defic
ciences in particular colleges, like the College of Business
Administration and the Engineering College.
Cuca said there is a problem when "students in CBA
will receive over 5,000 incomplete class schedules."
A common ground should be reached on what the state
wants the university to be and what the students want it
to be, he said.
t
Some legislators and taxpayers want the university to
do "more with less" and expect the university to provide
services for the good of the state while limiting funds.
"That looks nice on paper but doesn't work out."
Cuca said the hearing will provide the senators with
objective input.
"They (the senators) may not hear what they want to
hear," he said, but the hearing will provide a "divergence"
of views.
Lincoln State Sen. Don Wesely, a member of the v
special LR 75 committee, has said that the main concern
of the study is to determine what happens to the univer
sity if a 7 percent state budget limit on increases is
followed.
The university would be "impossible to run" if a bud
get limit were required, according to Cuca. Major changes
would have to occur in order to operate with such condi
tions, he said. .
The university needs more state funds in order to be
competitive in the faculty-hiring market, he said. Educa
tional quality and faculty salaries can be equated, he said,
and the university has to offer competitive faculty salaries
to keep teachers.
Iowa man charged
on indecency counts
An Iowa man pleaded innocent Wednesday in Lancas
ter County Court to charges of public indecency and dis
turbing the peace.
Frederick Rahn, 37, of Denver, Iowa, was charged with
three counts of public indecency and two counts of dis
turbing the peace.
The public indecency charges stem from three separate
incidents at Gateway Shopping Center when a man
allegedly exposed himself in front of three women.
The disturbing the peace charges were in reference to a
man's alleged offers to streak in front of two women, one
on UNL's City Campus and the other on East Campus.
UNL Police Capt. Robert Edmunds said there is a pos
sibility that further charges may be filed against Rahn.
Edmunds said charges against Rahn may be filed relating
to incidents going back to late 1977.
Edmunds said that Rahn is neither a student nor
employed by the university. A hearing date was set for
Dec. 10 at 9 a.m. Bail was set at $3,000.

New phone books
to be distributed
Distribution of new Lincoln telephone directories will
begin Friday, according to Art Thompson, public relations
supervisor for the Lincoln Telephone and Telegraph
Company. There are 170000 directories to be delivered in
the Lincoln area, and around 60,000 directories will be
kept for distribution later in the year when new phones
are installed, he said.
The directories are compiled by General Telephone
Directory Company. Thompson said the directory
company sells and assembles the yellow page ads and
works with the phone company to prepare the white
pages. The inset describing various telephone models and
the cover are designed by the telephone company.
The Lincoln Telephone and Telegraph company has six
geographical areas with directories for each. Books for
each area come out at different times of the year.
The phone books for the Lincoln area printed in St.
Petersburg Fla., will be delivered to Lincoln in about 14
scmi-trailor loads, said Gene Poyer,- production manager
for the General Telephone Directory Company.
A professional distributing company, Directory Distri
buting Associates, is contracted to deliver the directories
to homes and businesses, Poyer said. 300 local people are
hired on a part-time basis to do this.
Don Mcllvaine, a supervisor with the distributing com
pany, said deliverers are paid by the routes they take. He
estimated it would take at least a week to complete
deliveries.
Customers can buy directories for one of the telephone
company's other five areas, Thompson said. Additional
Lincoln directories last year were $3 and other area direct-,
ories were SI. 50. There is an additional $1 charge for
handling and postage. Thompson also said directories for
practically any city in the nation can be ordered through
the telephone company.
City search is on;
bikers may benefit
The city will be looking for suggestions on bi
cycle routes at a public meeting' Thursday night. ,
Dave Cook, Chairman of the Mayor's bicycle
safety committee, said university students are one
of the largest group of bicycle riders.
Cook said, the area between northwest Lincoln
and downtown is poor for bicyclists. "We need it
(input) in that area particularly," he said.
The meeting at the Anderson Branch Library at
s Fremont' and Touzalin streets will begin at 7:30
pjn.
Cook said good bicycle routes are not heavily
" traveled by automobiles, are wide enough for cars
and bicycles side by side, and are a direct route.
The input is to determine which roads are most
traveled by bicyclists, Cook said.
Resolution . . .
Continued from Page 1
Second, the faculty calls for efforts to restore the re
cent reductions in UNL' equipment, computing, teaching
council and research council budgets. ,
Third, the faculty calls for a more effective method of
setting budgets for the three NU campuses, and asks for
faculty representation at each level of budget develop
ment. The resolution said the call for a more effective admin
istration system is not meant to detract from legitimate
budget requests at UNO and UNMC.
"But there must be a reversal of the recent trend
whereby UNL's relative position in the system has been
dwindling and whereby its increasing scholary produc
tivity is accorded decreasing support," the resolution
states.
The fourth resolution calls for the dissolution of the
systems structure, to be replaced by an administration
compatible with the third resolution.
Several faculty members said they doubted the four
point resolution had as much clout as the shorter conclu
sion ot the original resolution.
Keep Red Cross
ready.
