He has been re searching NSSA issues for a month. Both men agree that extra funds for higher education will be hard to squeeze out of the Nebraska Legislature. "There's a projected $10 million shortfall, and it's hard to predict what's going to happen," O'Leary said. The ref erence was to a $10 million shortfall in projected state revenue which was discovered last week. It would endang er the resolve of some legislators to add to the 5.9 percent increase in the NU operations budget originally proposed by Gov. Charles Thonc, O'Leary said. "It seemed likely that there would be some compromi sing," he said, adding" that news of the shortfall has changed the political situation. There are two perspectives about the shortfall. O'Leary said. "Some people have wanted to increase the state (per sonal) income tax from 15 to Id percent, to make up some revenue since federal income taxes have dropped," he said. "And some people want to decrease the state bud get another S10 million." O'Leary said some non-money educational issues have a better chance for the attention during this legislative ses sion. LB628, the Nebraska I qual Opportunity in Educa tion Act, would prohibit sex discrimination in all public and private institutions in the state. The bill is co-sponsored by Sens. John DeCamp of Neligh, Gerald Koch of Kalson and Tom Vickers of I'arnam. Burk said another bill important to education is LB496, an amended version of which would establish a state student loan authority that would make money available to students at market interest rates. NSSA offi cials object to the proposal because they believe market interest rates are too high, especially for poor students. "We hope that it won't be put through this year, sim ply because it's got to be worked out." Burk said. Burk.

The debate was sponsored by the I larper-Schramm-Smith LducationCul ture Committee. About 25 people at tended the debate. Dave Milo Mumgaard, presidential candidate for the Working Coalition, said the university ban on alcohol in residence halls is hypocritical because it is general knowledge that drinking goes on. "We need to approach it (drinking) realistically," he said. Mumgaard said he supports a policy formulated by the Residence Hall Asso ciation that would permit alcohol in the halls, but said the policy must encom pass the entire university. Dan Wedekind, Real Party presiden tial candidate, said alcohol is in the resi dence halls, but efforts should be made to make sure the policy is acceptable to housing officials before it is brought to anyone else . The True Party believes the current RHA-sponsorcd plan is not satisfactory because it contradicts state law by al lowing minors to drink. Mike Ford, the party's presidential candidate said. "It's not a mature attitude," Ford said. He said the university policy should parallel state law and torbid minors to drink. Students attending the debate asked hov. the candidates proposed to lower tuition rates at UNL. Wedekind said tuition won't decrease at UNL until state funding for the uni versity increases. To do this, he said the senate should get involved more with lobbying groups. "It's very important we be effective with the state Legislature," Wedekind said. Ford said the university wastes too much money and that a lot of unneces sary spending is found in the administra tion. The STUPID II Party was invited to the event, but didn't attend.
