of which UNL and Peru State College, are currently mem
bers, has added out-of-state expertise to its ranks. The as
sociation has hired Mike Burk as executive director and
Paul O'Leary as legislative lobbyist for the statewide stu
dent lobbying group.
Burk's major activity will be coordinating NSSA acti
vities and communication between the member campuses.
He has been student president at Slippery Rock State Col
lege in Pennsylvania, chairman of the Board of Student
Government Presidents in that state and is an executive
board member of the National Alliance of State Student
Associations. He has been at work for the NSSA about
two weeks.
O'Leary was a consultant in education and training
programs for the Knvironmental Protection Agency for 10

Maine and Iowa in environmental studies. 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. NSSA board member Nctte Nelson and legis
lative assembly chairperson Deb Chapclle will attend a
United States Student Association lobbying conference
in Washington. D.C.. from Feb. 26 to 28. Burk said.
"We'll go over some strategies and meet with the con
gressional delegation to talk about educational issues and
try to persuade them to vote along with us on some bud
get issues." lie said.

Presidential candidates discuss
ideas on different alcohol policy
Ideas for a new alcohol policy at
UNL were discussed by members of the
True, Real and Working Coalition par
ties at a debate Tuesday night in the
Harper Hall Lounge.
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.
