Question: I pre-registered for
second semester classes a few
weeks ago. I am a senior and if I
don't get two specific classes, I
can't graduate this year. I put $25
cash in the packet envelope with
the forms and dropped it in the
slot in the Administration Build
ing. I just got a letter from the
university telling me I'm not reg
istered because I didn't send in
$25. 1 know I put that money in
there (two 10s and a five). Can
you straighten this out?
Signed, Graduating(?)
Answer: Dear Graduating(?):
Unless you work for organized
crime, you should never pay in
cash without getting a receipt.
The university processes regi
stration for 24,000 students. A
mistake can occur when money is
credited to the wrong Social
Security number. Sometimes the
wrong transaction code is used
and the money ends up in univer
sity housing instead of reglstra
tion.
You must contact the Stu
dent Accounts office as soon as

Answer: Dear J.D.: A month-to-month
tenancy arrangement
does not afford much protection
to a tenant in your situation. If
your building is sold, the new
owner can make you move out or
raise your rent by giving you 30
days written notice on the first
day of the month or the date your
rent is due. (See Section 76-1437
of the Nebraska Residential Land
lord Tenant Act, Volume 4, Neb
raska Revised Statutes.) This law
works both ways. You can move
out by giving 30 days written
notice on the date rent is due.
I have two suggestions. First,
consider talking to your current
