New regent emphasizes NU should retain quality
By Hollie Wieland
The biggest problem the NU Board of Regents will face
is to retain quality at the university and stay within the
available funds, said newly elected regent John Payne.
"Changing times require that the university changes
also," said Payne, "But it is going to be very difficult to
impelement these changes.
"It is going to be a big challenge to try to adopt and
adjust to various changes which arc going to take place
over the next five to 10 years."
Payne, who is from K-earney, started his six-year term
Saturday when he replaced Robert Raun of Minden.
Payne said he considers himself "pro-administration."
One of the possible changes discussed at the first
regents meeting Saturday involved closing the UNL Nurs
ing School.
"It appears there will be a nursing shortage in the
future," Payne said, "so I think the regents did the right
thing in retaining the Nursing School."
Anothei change Payne spoke of was the issue of
student football tickets. He said everybody should pay
Vets claim GI Bill is not enough
By Roger Aden
The (II Bill of Rights is important to veterans continu
ing their education, but for many veterans it is not
enough, said the president of the UNL. Student Vets
Organization.
"There has to bo added income, Pat Phillips said. "A
majority of the veterans have families to support so there
has to be some extra money coming in."
Phillips said lie and his wife work and that lie also is in
the National (iuard, which pays 75 percent of his tuition
plus a salary. Jerry Lippincott. past SVO president , said
he holds down two jobs to help support his family.
The (il Bill, which provides educational assistance to
veterans and their dependents, is vital to quite a few
veterans at UNL, Lippincott said.
"Not many veterans come from well-to-do families,"
he said. "I! I didn't have it ((J I Bill), I wouldn't be going
to school."
Lippincott's sentiments arc echoed by Phillips.
"We couldn't live without it," he said, "I wouldn't
be in school if there wasn't a GI Bill."
Phillips said the Veterans Administration is helpful in
providing veterans with jobs.
"The VA programs arc very beneficial," he said, "They
realize that the (il Bill doesn't cover everything."
According to Phillips, the VA provides minimum-wage
jobs to veterans who are lull-time students as part of a
work-study program. The jobs usually are in the VA office
or VA hospital lie said.
Lippincott said he aureed with Phillips' assessment of
the VA.
"It's a heck of a good deal. The VA has done me a lot
of good ."
But Lippincott and Phillips said they have one comp
laint about their situation: Their benefits have been in
creased by only 10 percent in the last three years.
"We figure we're still 33 percent behind the rate of in
flation." Phillips said.
According to Lippincott, there arc approximately 500
veteians attending UNL and almost all of them arc using
the GI Bill to help finance their education.
$10 for a ticket, but students and faculty should get a
25-pcrcent discount and then be able to do whatever they
want with the tickets.
After board meeting discussion on whether or not it
was constitutional for student regents to receive pay,
Payne said he had not developed an opinion yet. but he
said it appears student regents should not be paid.
Payne said he is in favor of construction of a veterinary
school if two or three other states support it.
Commenting on selective admission vs. open admission,
Payne said he is in favor of accepting any qualified high
school graduate.
. "The key lies in the term 'qualified' though," Payne
said.
According to Payne, the regents' performance recently
has been "adequate," but he would not elaborate.
Payne said he hopes NU will receive an 18 percent
budget increase, but he did not wish to comment further
until the Legislature makes a decision.
