ByJudlNygitsa :
The proposed reduction, elimination or reorgani-,
zation of some UNL programs will have a great
impact on the university, and student input could
play an essential role in deciding what programs are
cut, ASUN President Matt Wallace said Tuesday.
"The whole idea is not to say we don't want any
cuts, that's not the case," Wallace said. "The whole
point of our issue is to make sure these are areas
that students feel we can justify as far as giving up
those areas."
ASUN will have two meetings to give students an
opportunity to voice their opinions, Wallace said.
The first meeting, which will be today at 6:30 p.m. in
the Nebraska Union Ballroom, will include an in
formal discussion of proposed cuts. From the dis
cussion, ASUN will form resolutions to be presented
at committee hearings on the proposed cuts sche
duled through next week. The resolutions will be
debated and adopted Nov. 9 at the Culture Center.
; ASUN executives and senators will speak on
behalf of students' interests at the hearings, Wallace
said. But any student with a concern is encouraged
to testify.
' ' . ..'
"We (ASUN) want as much student involvement
as students want to offer," he said.
Kevin Goldstein, an Academic Planning Commit
tee representative, said students' testimony may
have more influence than faculty testimony because
students are often less biased. Students planning to
testify should have their resolutions written out, he
said.
Wallace said ASUN's focus is on informing stu
dents about proposed cuts, and what students can
do to influence the committees' recommendations.
This is not like adopting a resolution concerning
Grenada," he said. "This is something ASUN can take
a leading role in."
ASUN also can influence decisions through its
representatives on APC and Support Program Eva
luation Committee, Wallace said.
SPEC, which was temporarily formed to decrease
APCs work load and give equal representation to all
UNL organizations, hears testimony concerning
student affairs and business and fmance. APC will
conduct all other hearings.

Lincoln marlcs 100 years on the move
Mayor Ronald Luedtke proclaimed Tuesday Pub
lic Transportation Day in Lincoln at ceremonies
celebrating the 100th anniversary of public trans
portation in the city. The ceremony was at the Bur
lington Northern Depot, 201 N. Seventh Si
Luedtke, the roaster of ceremonies, read a tele
gram from U.S. Transportation Secretary Elizabeth
Dole on President Regan's behalf. He also read Gov.
Bob Kerrey's Public Transportation Day proclama
" tkn and hb own congratulatory statement ,.
Georgs E. Salvia, Lincoln's Director of Transporta
tion, accepted the proclamations.
Public transportation in Lincoln began Nov. 1,
1833, when the Lincoln Street Railway began a hor
secar line running from the Burlington Depot to
13th and O streets. Each ride cost 5 cents. The last
run on the line was made in 1D03.
Luedtke said he remembered the electric trolley
cars that were introduced in 1891 and ran until
1945.
Lincoln City Lines began operating buses in 1926
at 10 cents per ride. The city created the Lincoln
Transportation System in 1071 when it purchased
the bus system.
Ridership increased 1 50 percent during the next
decade, from 1.4 million passengers to 3.5 million
passengers annually. LTS cites improvements in
cluding a Handi-Van fleet for inability-disabled peo
ple, restructured routes and new buses as some of
the reasons for the increase.
Thirty-eight percent of the system's total budget is
provided by passenger fares. Federal, state and city
funding supplies the remaining money, LTS Market
ing Director Tami Bartzatt said.
City Council members Louis Shackelford and
Margrethe Ahlschwede and former Lincoln mayor
Dean Petersen also attended the event. Also present
was a representative from Rep. Doug Bereuter's
Office.' " '."..-r:-..-:-."
A specially-painted bus with "1833-1983" embla
zoned on the sides brought guests and the public
from downtown Lincoln to the depot. A representa
tive from the Clark Jeary Memorial Manor in Lincoln
presented a $3,000 check from Clark Jeary and the
United Presbyterian Welfare Foundation to help
build a bus shelter at the Clark Jeary Manor.
