By next fall, UNL residence halls
may have the benefit of having some
computer terminals, the new UNL dir
ector of computing ssid.----' -
"It makes good sense," said Doug
Gale,, who was named director of com
puting last week. He undertook a sim
ilar project at Cornell University.
Former acting director Earl Friese,
the assistant vice chancellor for re
search, said about 50 of the total 200
terminals donated to UNL this sum
mer will be allocated for the residence
halls. He said the rest will be placed in
other places accessible to students,
such as the Nebraska Union. The time
sharing terminals were donated by
Control Data Corporation, he said.
A similar plan has been implement
ed at Union College in Lincoln. James
Gallagher, director of college relations
at Union College, said that last August
the college installed terminals in each
of the 400 dorm rooms. They also have
two printers per dorm, he said.
The terminals are connected to the
main frame computer, which gives the
students a lot of flexibility," Gallagher
said.
"Although I do not use my terminal
in my room often, I used it for some
assignments in my music theory class,"
said Susan Gardner, a sophomore bus
iness major at Union College. Other
Union College students said they used
the computers for English papers and.,
for calling back and forth between the
men's and women's dorms.
UNL Housing Director Douglas Zat
echka said each of the five UNL dorm
complexes will receive some terminals.
The number depends on the number of
people in each complex and the'
amount of security that can be pro
vided for the terminals, he said.
"I would like to make them available
24 hours a day," Zatechka said.
. Zatechka said possible spots were
also looked at to set up printers. He
said there was some concern about the
noise level and a way to separate the
terminals from the printers, while not
disturbing people not using the term
inals. ;
Gale said his job is to work out the
plan's details, such as how to keep the
terminals secure and open to the stu
dents, preventing potential fire haz
ards and determining if the current
circuitry will handle the new load.
Gale said he was optimistic about
getting the terminals installed by the
fall semester.

Sen. Karen Kilgarin of
Omaha announced Tues
day she will resign her
office at the end of this
session to take a job as
KETVs Lincoln bureau
chief. Doug Farrott, cur
rent chief, will start a
newly created position at
KETV in Omaha as even
ing news manager.
Kilgarin, who earned a
journalism degree at
Kearney State College,
stated in a press release
that her $4,800 salary as
a legislator contributed
to her decision to resign.
"KETV has offered a com
petitive salary and I'm
too old to be romantic
about my income," Kil
garin said.
"As my father has said,
Til support your decision,
I've been supporting you
for 27 years.' Not entirely
subtle, but it makes the
point."
Parrott said he didn't
know if there was con
' cern about potential con
flict of interest.
"It is a little unusual to
make a switch like that,"
he said. "But I think she's
capable of doing the job. I
am not concerned about
conflict of interest, and I
don't think our people in
Omaha were concerned."
Parrott said Kilgarin's
inside knowledge of the
Legislature's operation
would be a great benefit
to KETV.

Mondale projected winner
CHICAGO - Walter MondaleTues
day took a strong lead over Colo
rado Sen. Gary Hart in the impor
tant Illinois Democratic presidential
primary and two television net
works projected the former vice
president as the winner.
Despite two projections, Mon
dale's Illinois spokesman declined
to claim immediate victory, and
Hart's spokesman did not concede
defeat. -
With 1 9 percent of the vote count
ed, Mondale led Hart by 46 to 34
percent, with 14 percent for Rev.
Jesse Jackson.
Both ABC and CBS news pre
dicted Mondale would defeat Hart
once all the ballots were counted.
Mondale's victory would come de
spite the showing of Jackson, who
was taking the vast majority of a
large Illinois black vote.

Alumni group honors seniors
with infpriTiation'and beverages
By Sara Thomasscn
A tradition is in the making at UNL, a member of
the Student Alumni Association said.
Lynn Olson, chairperson for the upcoming Senior
Week, said the association wants to express its
appreciation for the seniors who will graduate in
May. "And what better way than to devote an entire
week to them," she said. ,
Senior Week, which is scheduled forApril 10-13, is
designed to help students make the transition from
university life to their post-collegiate life. Senior
Week will replace the GRASP Committee the
Graduate Relocation Assistance and Settlement
Program. Olson said GRASP had not been as effec
tive as the association had hoped, so they expanded
upon it and came up with the Senior Week idea.
The opening activity of the week is a champagne
reception at the Cornhusker, planned for Tuesday
April 10, to which all graduating seniors will be
invited.
"We haven't gone overboard, because we want to
test out our reception," Olson said. "If it's a success,
we hope to expand the program to include seniors
graduating in December."
On Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in the Nebraska Union,
the Student Alumni Association and the UPC Talks
and Topics Committee are sponsoring a speech
entitled "Making College Pay Off,"-by Dr. Adele
Scheele.
An Information Fair will be held Thursday in the
main lobby of the Nebraska Union. Insurance com
panies, banks, stockbroker agencies, the Jaycees
and post office personnel will be there.
Friday, Chesterfield, Bottomsley and Potts, 245 N.
13th St., will provide discounts on draws and drinks
to any senior with the proper pass. Olson said in
order to get the pass, seniors must attend the recep
tion, where they will receive a packet containing all
of the. information about the week.
"Everyone is welcome to take part in the informa
tion fair and hear the speaker," Olson said, "but the
reception is only for seniors graduating in May."
