Douglas Zatcchka said the Office of University Housing staff originally had recommended raising rates $150, the same amount which Kathy Mach, a mem ber of RIIA's rate study committee, announced at RIIA's Thursday meeting. However, after a housing staff meeting Friday Zatechka said he was recon sidering housing's proposed budget for the 1982-83 school year to see if cuts could be made that would help lower the proposed room and board increase. "We're still looking for areas to cut," Zatechka said, "so the increase could be lower than $150. I don't mean a lot lower - like $100 - but to about $140 or $145." Zatechka said a $5 or $10 difference in housing rates might not seem like much to students, "but it could mean $50,000 less in income to housing." At RIIA's meeting, Mach said housing needed an extra $150 per student to balance its budget for the coming year. She said the proposed budget was a con tinuation of this year's bud get, with no major cuts or additions. Each category of expenditures was scheduled to receive about the same percentage of the total bud- appy r birthday Nebraska astnion! !

How ever, Mach said, since total budget expenses in 1982-83 will be higher because of in flation, housing has to charge higher room and board rates to cover the difference. Budget similar Zatechka said he agreed that the originally proposed budget which Mach explain ed to RHA was much the same as this year's budget. But Zatechka said hous ing has since decided to "look for areas to cut" so that the room and board in creases can be less than as first expected. Zatechka said he would know what the final pro posed increase is by Mon day or Tuesday and will discuss the budget and the rate increase with students in the Nebraska Union Tues day. Explaining that the 6:30 pjn. discussion would be like "a town meeting," Zatechka said he urged stu dents to attend and give their opinions on the bud get, rate increase, the ser vices they like or dislike in the residence halls and relat ed issues. Mach had urged RHA members to tell students liv ing in the halls to go to the meeting if complaints, suggestions they had any comments or for Zatechka. No voting Besides the rate increase, other topics were discussed at the RHA meeting, but no votes could be taken be cause there wasn't a quorum. Paul Rea, a representa tive from Neihardt Resi dence Complex, said hall governments should con sider replacing RHA repre sentatives who have missed more than half of the meet ings this school year. Richard McKinnon, RHA adviser, said there has been a rash of thefts recently in the residence halls, especial ly in women's halls. McKinnon said all stu dents living in the halls should lock their doors whenever they leave their rooms, even if they will be gone for only a short time, lie also said residents should report any suspicious-looking strangers on their floors to housing staff members or the campus police. McKinnon said the dir ector of housing will be at RHA's next meeting to re port on the proposed room and board increase and the feasibility of installing cable television in the residence halls. Clergymen . . . Continued from Page 1 Morrow called homosexuality an "addictive habit" that can and should be broken. There is no need for a law to protect a certain category of sinners, he said. Some of the questions and answers brought up at the panel discussion are summarized as follows: Is homosexuality a chosen lifestyle? Hardes:No. Sexual orientation is as basic as color or creed to some people. The orientation occurs in early childhood years. Morrow: Yes. Homosexuality is learned behavior. A desire to repent will enable people to overcome this be havior through the power of God. Does homosexuality contribute to the breakdown of family life? Morrow: Yes. Homosexual men and woman have aban doned their natural functions. Hardes: No. Pressure from society for homosexuals to "straighten out" causes them to enter into unsuccessful heterosexual marriages. ' Which fobs should be off-limits to homosexuals? Young, Hardes and Bisman: None. Hinrichs: Teaching, because homosexuals could in fluence other people. Armed services, because homo sexuals are more valuable than heterosexuals to interrogat ion and blackmail. Morrow: Teaching, because homosexual teachers could decay the attitudes and morals of young people. Would there be any problem with an ordinance that prevented housing discrimination against homosexuals? Bisman, Hardes and Young: No problem. Morrow and Hinrichs: It would take away the land lord's right to choose whether he wanted to have homo sexuals living on his property. The debate was sponsored by the Rev. Larry Doerr, director of Commonplace United Ministries in Higher Education. The Rev. Rex Bevins of St. Paul United Methodist Church, was the moderator.
