regents approve purcnase
million computer system
By Jim Easmiisssn
The NU Board of Regents approved the purchase
of a new administrative and record-keeping compu
ter system for the university's three campuses at the
board's meeting Friday at Regents Hall.
The new IBM mainframe and disk sub-system will
cost the university $3.1 million, and will be financed
over a period of five years, said Don Leuenberger,
interim assistant vice president and director of
university-wide computing.
IBM was chosen because it offered a 40 percent
. discount on the new system, and a lower interest
rate (8.45 percent) than any of the competing
bidders, Leuenberger said. .
Funds for the new system will come from the
university computing services operating budget, the
NU Foundation and-possibly from the Nebraska
Legislature, Leuenberger said.
The board voted Friday to amend its request for
$2.4 million in computer funding from the Legisla
ture in its 1084-86 capital budget.
The new request calls for $1.4 million to improve
academic computing on the UNL campus, and $1
million for the new IBM computer.
In other action, the board approved the purchase
of 12 residential lots to expand the UNO campus at
an estimated cost of $3.3. million.
UNO Chancellor Del Weber had urged the regents
to approve the proposal.
"We're not land-mongers," Weber said. "We are
now existing on 72 acres of space, which is the same
amount as Burke High School in Omaha."
Weber said most of the space would be used for
parking lots, but some new buildings would be built
to increase classroom capacity at UNO. He said one
third of UNO's classroom space is in metal buildings
built shortly after World War II for temporary use.
Several members of the Omaha Citizens Action
Group spoke against the proposed acquisition.
Many of the group's members would have their
homes taken by the project

From the Reuter News Report
" At least 146 American servicemen were killed
Sunday when suicide bombers driving trucks
packed with explosives struck it dawn esinstU-S.
-and -French trecps in Beirut, Lebanon. Two build
ingx.hcuwfr.j more than-200 ilzz-izs men were,
destroyed. ,,' "
In Washington, White House spokesman Larry
Speakes said President Reagan would take action
against the terrorists responsible as soon as they are
identified.. -.: ?-
Speaks said intelligence reports indicated that
Iranian extremists were responsible for the attacks.
. Lebanese security sources said 27 French para
troopers had been killed and 12 wounded. Earlier,
the French Defense Ministry in Paris said that nine
French soldiers had been killed, 1 1 wounded and 53
.were missing.
A U.S. State Department spokesman said at least
143 Americans were killed, many of them dying in
hospitals. More than 50 other Marines had been
evacuated for medical treatment, some of them to
hospitals in Italy and West Germany, Pentagon offl-
The death toll appeared likely to rise as rescue
workers dug bodies from the rubble hour by hour.
A grim-faced Reagan, said in Washington that no
words cOuld express America's outrage at what he
called a "despicable act." But he said the attack on
Marine headquarters in Beirut made the United,
States more determined than ever to prevent
Lebanon being taken over by such "bestial" forces.
The expledons shook Bdrut within .second3 of
each other at about 6:25 am. (11:24 am. CDT),
reducing the U.S. and French buildings to smoking
heaps of debris. Rescue workers at the U.S. Marine
compound came under sniper fire. '
Marine spokesman Maj. Robert Jordan said the
truck at the Marine building was packed with about
2,000 pounds of TNT. The blast left a crater 30 feet
deep and 40 feet wide.
"These kinds of things just harden our resolve,"
said CoL Tim Geraghty, commander of the 1,600
strong Marine force. "We will continue to do what we
came here to do, and that is to provide assistance .
for a free and independent Lebanon."
In Washington, Defense Secretary Casper Wein
berger said Sunday that the U.S. Marine headquar
ters in Beirut might be moved to a U.S. Navy ship off
the Lebanese coast, but that American troops
would not abandon their positions at Beirut's
airport.
