TJNL helping break the ice
An international team of scientists and
engineers has succeeded in drilling cores
through 2,037 meters (6,683 feet) of ice to
bedrock at Dye 3 station in South Central
Greenland. The Greenland Ice Sheet deep
drilling program ended Aug. 10 when the
drill penetrated the bottom of the ice
sheet.
The Polar Ice Coring Office at UNL has
provided an operations and logistics man

Tuition costs
higher for fall
Tuition costs are going
up this semester for aU
graduate and undergraduate
courses.
The increase is 10 per

students and 15 percent for
dentistry, medicine and
some other professional col
leges, said Bob Clark,
director of student
accounts.
Before the increase,
graduate and undergraduate
charges were the same.
Resident undergraduate
credit hours cost $2925,
compared with $26.50 last
year, Clark said. Non-resident
credit hours for under
graduates are $7925,
compared with $72 last,
year.
Graduate courses have
been raised to $3125 for
residents and $8125 for
non-residents.
Tuition statements will
be mailed around Sept. 11
and tuition is due Sept. 23,
said Anthony Schkade,
assistant director of registra
tion and records.
Classes dropped before
Aug. 31 will be eliminated
from the tuition statement.
Classes dropped after Aug.
31 will cost a percentage of
the tuition but classes added
after that date will cost full
tuition, Schkade said.
Drop and add will be
handled at the Nebraska
Union from 8 through 11

Students wanting to go
through drop and add must
pick up a time appointment
card in the Administration
Building and complete the
process in the Nebraska
Union Ballroom. The cost is
$5.
After Aug. 31, students
may drop and add classes in
the Administration Build
ing, Schkade said. The
registration and records and
student accounts offices will
complete the process. Stu
dents must then straighten
out their records in the
Bursar's office.
Additional information
about drops and adds is
available in the Administra
tion Building,
ional Science Foundation program.
The continuous column of ice, recover
ed in two-meter sections, was analyzed in
undersnow laboratories constructed by the
coring office near the Dye site in 1980.
The cores will be transported to laborator
ies in the United States, Denmark and
Switzerland for further study. The cores
will yield data of atmospheric and climatic
conditions from the present to about
130,000 years ago, before the last ice age.
