One of the many UNL parking meters that soon will be costing students a little more to use
Carols mete varies ft double
By Peggy Polacek
Meter rates for five UNL parking lots will be doubled
beginning this summer because of action taken by the
Parking Adivsory Committee Tuesday.
The rates, currently 10 cents an hour, will be increased
to 10 cents for half an hour of 25 cents an hour.
Kenneth Markle, captain of the UNL parking
administration, said about 400 meters will be affected
by the change.
Areas included in the change will be the residence hall
lot west of Selleck Quadrangle, the lot east of the
Nebraska Union, the T Street lot between Hamilton Hall
and Ninth Street, the R Street lot between 13th and 14th
streets and the 15th Street lot in front of Selleck.
Markle said the change results from higher maintenance
costs, and is an attempt to avoid raising parking permit
costs. He said it willost $3.89 to convert each meter to
the new rates.
"The combination of time and price promotes a
turnover and availability of space," said Ray Coffey,
business manager of business and finance and member
of the advisory committee.
Permits in Area 7 that go to the athletic department
for no cost also were discussed by the committee, but
action was postponed until the department could respond
to the possibility of fees for these permits.
Committee member Clinton Hoover, director of the
Nebraska Center for Continuing Education, said the issue
is: no permit, no parking. He said the current policy is
not consistent with university policy.
Almost 50 spaces are provided free of charge, Markle
said. He said it costs about $17 per space each year for
maintenance and about $20 for enforcement.
Discussion of reserved stalls also was on the agenda,
but no action was taken.
Markle said that every year more reserved stalls are
requested, and that the cost of enforcement of the
reserved stalls thus increases.

mlm approval
5iniifDirsftiraflinid
By Terry Hyland
Supporters of a proposed regional veterinary college to s
be built in Lincoln won another victory in the Legislature
Tuesday as state senators gave first-round approval to a
bill that would ease conditions for construction of the
school.
Legislative Bill 533 advanced on a 26-13 vote and now
proceeds to the select file for its second reading.
The bill was killed by the Legislature's Education Com
mittee March 9, but was revived by a vote of the full
Legislature March 24.
LB533 would enable the state to proceed with
planning and construction of the veterinary college with a
commitment from the federal government to provide
future funding - $13 million - for the project. The
remaining costs would be paid by Nebraska and at least
two other states that contract to use the college.
Congress has appropriated $827,000 in matching
federal money for planning and pre-construction costs for
the college.
The bill also would eliminate the Dec. 31 , 1983, dead
line for the state to accept federal funding.
Debate preceding the vote on the bill centered on the
costs and necessity of a veterinary college in Nebraska.
Opponents of the college argued that the state cannot
afford its share of the $29.5 million cost of the facility
and that Nebraska does not need more veterinarians.
Supporters said that the college represents an invest
ment in the state's agricultural future, especially the
state's livestock industry. Supporters also have argued that
money sent to out-of-state veterinary schools, so that Ne
braska students can attend those schools, could be kept in
the state and used to pay Nebraska's share of operating
costs for its own college.
The bill survived an attempt by Sen. Jerome Warner of
Waverly to amend language in the bill that would call for
an expanded animal science program. Warner's proposal
would have replaced the veterinary college language in the
bill with provisions for an animal science program for
veterinary research.
Warner's amendment proposal was defeated on an
18-19 vote.

Nuclear arms race
debated at Legislature
By Christopher Burbach
More than 200 people crowded into the Speaker of the
Unicameral's room at the State Capitol Tuesday night for
a public hearing on two resolutions dealing with nuclear
weapons.
LR50, sponsored by Sen. George Fenger of Bellevue,
proposes that members of the Nebraska Legislature and
their constituents encourage the Soviet people to urge
their government toward nuclear arms control.
Fenger, calling himself a dreamer, said that if the
resolution is passed, 100 copies translated into Russian
would be sent to the Soviets for public posting.
The main topic of debate, however, was LR49, a
resolution cosponsored by Sens. John DeCamp of Neligh ,
and Don Wesely of Lincoln. The resolution would put
the Legislature on record as supporting "An immediate,
mutual and verifiable freeze ... on the testing, production
and deployment of nuclear missiles and new aircraft
designed primarily to deliver nuclear weapons."
The star witness for the resolution was William Colby,
former CIA director.
