Many senators consider the proposed project a "dead is sue." Sen. David Newell of Omaha said the state could not afford both the veterinary school and approved animal science project scheduled for construction in early 1985. The Legislature earlier this year passed LBS67, which appro priated more than $2.7 million for fiscal 1084-85, and $300,000 IJ yi V ink that comes out of the pen blue, like normal ink, but dries clear without staining. Some items fall between wacky and weird, but Lieurance said she's not worried about selling them. "I know that if I wait long enough...everything will sell."

A proposal by the Kansas State University Board of Regents sub mitted in July would give NU some control over the education of its veterinary medicine stu dents. Under the proposal, Ne braska would agree to send at least 20 veterinary students to KSU each year for 10 years. The NU Board of Regents would have some input into the curricu lum at the Kansas school, and would help in the selection of students, Gene Kasper, director of special projects for the Kansas board, said. The students would be allowed to do their clinical practice in Nebraska, an option that "is not available under any of the veteri nary contracts Nebraska has with other states. Besides KSU, UNL has contracts with Iowa State, Ohio State, the University of Minnesota and the University of Missouri to train 1 38 veterinary students every year at a cost of about $2 million in state funds.

The Mag Wire Report NU President Ronald Roskens has said the regional veterinary school would serve primarily the needs of states to the west and north. Both NU and KSU have similar agreements with the University of Missouri, that allow students to enroll in certain programs in the other state without paying out-of-state tuition. Under the NU-UM agreement, Nebraska undergraduates can en roll in six programs at the Uni versity of Missouri at Columbia and pay in-state tuition. Missouri undergraduates can enroll in four programs at UNL at in-state rate. The programs at Missouri in clude fisheries and wildlife, fore stry, occupational therapy, vete rinary medicine, library science and a new program respira tory therapy which was added to the list this year. The programs at Nebraska in clude architecture, community and regional planning, construc tion management and actuarial science. In each case, the pro grams offered under the agree ment are not available in the other state. Only about 12 Nebraskans and Missourians each year take advan tage of the exchange option, said Larry Andrews, NU's assistant executive vice-president and admini strative officer. campus. Although the shake-up in RHA leaves Secretary Deb Baker as the only member of the group's spring ticket in office, Edwards said he doesn't think RtfA will suffer because of the leadership changes. Edwards said Residence Hall Week, cable TV, campus security, ASUN relations and improving the RHA judicial board are major goals for the new administration. Residence Hall week will in clude a campuswide dance at the Nebraska Union and other activi ties. The RHA Trivia Bowl will be held during National Residence Hall Week and the prize will be increased from the $100 offered last year. Edwards said RHA plans to make the week competitive with both Homecoming and Greek Week. Continued on Pa3 10 1 1 .20 24 4 18 11 2 1 1
