Recent public hearings on the proposed reduc tions of UNL's budget were effective in getting responses from students and faculty, said the chairpersons of the two committees sponsoring the hearings. "We absolutely had to have these hearings," said Larry Lusk, who headed the Academic Planning Committee. "I was quite pleased People were ex tremely cooperative with the whole process." Lusk said about 75 people spoke at the APC hear ings from Novr 5 to Nov. lO.These hearings dealt with proposed cuts in academic areas. All testimony was recorded and later printed in transcripts se parated according to the different programs with which they dealt The APC also accepted large numbers of docu ments and papers which, along with the transcripts, give committee members a "staggering" amount of material to consider, Lusk said. Most of the people at the hearings were opposed to the proposed cuts and presented their opinions well, he said. "At times it was downright heartwarming to hear how some people feel about their programs," he said. The APC is considering the reallocation recom mendations this week and will submit its conclu sions to UNL Chancellor Martin Massengale before Thanksgiving, Lusk said. The Support Evaluation Committee also has con cluded its hearings and will meet this week to con sider the testimony it received, said Viann Schroeder, the committee's chairperson. This committee heard testimony on proposed cuts in student affairs and business and finance. r."We got a good response from major presenters, those who were directly affected," she said. "But I was a little disappointed in the lack of numbers of people : . who are not directly involved." Schroeder said only six people who were not scheduled presenters spoke at the SEC hearings. Among these were representatives from ASUN and the International Student Association. The SEC will forward its proposals to the chancel lor Friday, Schroeder said. Massengale will meet with the NU Board of Regents in December with his proposals for budget reallocations. J.iy S " l I t J W 1 V 1 1M T Stsff phsta by Cra!g Andresen J7 cios? is on : .
