Reallocation would mean the end of some university programs, NU Presi dent Ronald Roskens said in a pre pared statement Saturday during the NU Board of Regents meeting. Roskens said Gov. Bob Kerrey's recommended 4 percent increase in state appropriations for NU will fall short of the 12.7 percent that the regents requested. Regent Kermit Hansen said in a tel ephone interview Monday that further reallocations in the NU budget would mean cutting state expenditures on new laboratory equipment, travel bud gets and "freezing" employment spots. Once a faculty position is vacated, Hansen said, department heads are eliminating the position. Because travel budgets are being cut, many faculty will ho longer be able to present papers and conduct research outside the university. "We've reallocated in three of the last four years," he said. "I think we've done enough of that." Regent Robert Simmons of Scotts bluff criticized Roskens and other board members at the meeting in a written statement. He charged that they have refused in the past to support realloca tion, cutting of duplication and other steps similar to those recommended in a report issued last month by the Citi zens Commission for the Study of Higher Education. Roskens and other regents declined to comment on Simmons' charges. In other business, the regents en dorsed a proposed plan by Lincoln offi cials to reconstruct the intersection at 16th and Holdrege streets. The plan, which would cost the federal govern ment $150,000, is intended to prevent accidents by lessening the sharp curve at the intersection. At the intersection, one-way traffic proceeds westbound on Holdrege Street around a curve to one-way southbound on 16th Street. The curve is sharp and vehicles have crashed through the guardrail into Antelope Creek, directly west of 16th Street at that point. The city will construct a six-foot-wide sidewalk along the rebuilt street for about 600 feet. Regent Hansen and Vice Chancellor Jack Goebel said they spoke with Lin coln Mayor Roland Luedtke and were assured the city's plans will not inter fere with UNL's eventual goal to close 16th Street to through traffic on the campus, a project they said is at least five years away. Regent John Payne of Kearney was elected regents' chairman at the meet ing, defeating Margaret Robinson of Norfolk on a secret-ballot vote. Robert Koefoot of Grand Island was elected vice-chairman, also defeating Robinson. Lincoln dentist Don Fricke was seat ed to succeed Ed Schwartkopf, whom he defeated in the November election. The regents also chose Clark Enersen Partners of Lincoln as the architect for the proposed $4.3 million renovation of Morrill Hall and the Nebraska State Museum at UNL , , - .mTXJ.

Triplett III Sports Editor Completion of the South Crib project in the Nebraska Union couldn't have come at a better time. Union Director Daryl Swanson said it is "for tunate" to have the space, now named The Crib, available before other union projects begin. Other projects include the proposed Univer sity Bookstore relocation plan. The move may begin in February, if the NU Board of Regents approves it. Construction and completion of a 24-hour student computer room is tentatively scheduled for September. Besides the South Crib's name change, major differences include: The stage, which was moved from the room's center to the southwest wall. Fewer per manent booths make it more flexible for per formances. More lights, including artificial skylights. Larger vending space. New red and blue chairs with new tables and new permanent booths. A stained-glass window, emblazoned with the words 'The Crib." "I'm very pleased with it," Swanson said. But the room is still not finished. Some mate rials have yet to arrive, Swanson said, including the wooden doors that will block the south hall entrance. The doors will serve as fire dcora and will control crowds for stage performances. The South Crib project began two years ago when the Nebraska Union board identified the room as needing renovation. The board budgeted $187,000 for the project, and asked senior archi tecture design classes to design the room as a class project. Todd Swigart, then a senior, won the contest and the $200 first-place prize with a design called "The State Level," It is Swigart's general design that currently is seen in the room, with some modifications. First of all, there is no longer a stage level. Continued on Page 3 'xperience leads to vice chancellor Js pos By Ward W. Triplett III Sports Editor - The new vice chancellor for Student Affairs may only hold the position for a short time, but Janet Boettcher Krause says she plans to complete a major project or two before her term ends. Krause was appointed interim vice ; chancellor in December after Richard Armstrong accepted a vice chancellor's - position at the University of Georgia. The appointment makes Krause the highest-ranking woman in the UNL administration. The project Krause said she hopes to initiate is the Student Assistance Cen ter. The center will move those offices with direct student contact to the first floor of the Teachers College, giving 3 1" ! Dsn Du.'cneyCcily Ncbrstkan Kr&uss students one area to go to for added assistance and counseling. Krause's office is already in Teachers College, as is the Division of Student Life. Multi Cultural Affairs and the Counseling Center may soon follow. "Our offices are the beginning, but it will require a lot of coordination and cooperation on everyone's part to finish it," she said. "I really hope to be able to help the staff make some things happen that are important to them." Krause said UNL Chancellor Martin Massengale asked her to take the inte rim position based on her 11 years of student service experience in the Counseling Center. That stint preceded a four-year position as the assistant dean of the College of Law. Krause has been at the university since 1953, her first year as an under graduate. She gained her bachelor's at UNL in 1957 and received a master's in 1966. She completed her doctorate in law in 1978. "This (UNL) has been a part of my life for so long, it's just a part of me now," Krause said. "I just think it's an exciting place to be." In between her own educational pursuits, Krause has taught English classes for the university and has helped develop classes for the law and agriculture schools. Her English classes, all freshman composition courses, were unique. Krause stressed relaxation as a means to better writing. "The right hemisphere of the brain is thought to be the creative side," Krause said, "It sees things hologra phically. When you're relaxed, you begin to use that side, and you tend to visual ize better." As a result, Krause's classes were treated to tapes of the ocean, breathing exercises to set students minds to creative thinking. "I used to have visualization exer cises, such as a trip to the beach," she said. "No two persons saw the same things." Krause began working in earnest last week, and still is busy meeting other administrators and student groups to learn more about the job. "I knew something about student affairs before, but it is really different knowing about one particular area and the basics of the others, then trying to learn in-depth things about every department," she said.
