But the traditional case of demand
exceeding supply remained unchanged, he
said. Nearly 1200 people were turned
away from the department's 100-and ?00
level classes, he said.
"The upper divisions usually have no
problem as far as finding space goes,"
liberty said. "Hut we still give high grade
point averages priority to get into the
lower division classes."
TM. llaitung. Agriculture College dean,
said many of the agriculture classes are
filled, and the school has had to make
adjustments to get students into labs.
"We arc modifying some of our course
construction, and reducing or eliminating
field trips," he said. "At this stage we're
concerned if this 3 percent reduction is
permanent. If it is, it will show up again
next fall."
Some of the classes the college has can
celled this semester will be offered next
fall, I laming said.
Max I). Lirscn, dean of the College of
Arts and Sciences, said that even in the
best economic times, not all students get
the classes they want. He said he wouldn't
blame the budget cut for next semester's
lack of sections or turned down requests.
"This is something that's been happen
ing lor the past three years." Larsen said.
"That has been due to the increase in
enrollment, and no increase in teachers."
Journalism School Dean R. Ncale
Copple said about 140 students were turn
ed away from classes for next semester.
Students from other colleges who wish to
take journalism courses as electives arc
being squeezed out, he said.
"The normal limit for labs is one to 15
students. In the past year we've had to go
up to one to 18." Strong recommended
students check course listings in January to
sec whether a section they need has been
added.
"We tend to be apprehensive about a
student - who was first told he couldn't
have a certain class - finding out that
another student ended up getting the class.
Those students left out tend to get angry
about it."

City Council members voted 7-0 Mon
day to delete all references to the North
east Radial from Lincoln's Comprehen
sive Plan, thus putting to rest an issue
which has caused controversy in the city
for nearly 30 years.
The resolution also called for the imple
mentation of a replacement roadway
corridor, tentatively to be placed between
17th and 19th streets, from lloldrege to P
streets.
A proposed amendment by council
member Mike Steinman to remove the
alternate roadway from the resolution was
defeated 4-3.
Council members Joe Hampton, Louis
Shackelford, Bill Danley and Donna
Frohardt voted "no" to the amendment.
Steinmen, Margrethe Ahlschwede and Brie
Youngberg voted "yes."
At the Monday council meeting Stein
man said that including proposals lor an
alternate roadway in the Comprehensive
Plan might make Lincolnitcs fear that the
radial proposition would be revived under a
different form.
Youngberg said in a Tuesday interview
that he supported the Steinman amend
ment because he believed that, without the
amendment attached, the resolution would
not guarantee a future rehashing of the
radial proposition.
"The public is justifiably skeptical of an
alternative," Youngberg said.
Danley said alternative roadways to the
radial must be considered.
"I don't believe in playing politics with
the roadway anymore," Danley said. "He
(Steinman) originally agreed to the naming
of an alternative corridor, and then tried to
back down."
Shackelford said at the Monday meeting
ing that Steinman had moved to end Goals
and Policies Committee deliberation on the
issue two months ago.

Regent Kermit Hansen of Omaha said
Mockler's donation was a noble gesture,
adding that he wished the band could come
up with the $40,000 he said they would
need to fly. He said he is not willing to
donate any excess travel money he may
have "until the ban is willing to go out and
raise the money themselves."
Regents Kermit Wagner, of Schuyler,
Robert Prokop, of VVilber, John Payne, of
Kearney, were unavailable for comment
Tuesday afternoon.
Regent Robert Simmons, of Scottsbluff,
said he had no comment because he did
not know what the final expense allocat
ions will be.
Regent Robert Koefoot, of Grand Is
land, said, "If it's about the band and that
situation, I have no comment. It's been
discussed enough.
