Ti'.e Legislature's Fiscal OSce projected that

costs at $250,0Ca
Chambers ssld that the Department of Revenue

cost too much. The yearly operating fee could te
raised to compensate, he said.
"I'm act interested la making it a rever.us-

Chambers said people' are going to bet on
sports events rejarless cf the Mil's fate, so
"why not legalise and regulate U," he asked.
"We sometimes criminalize conduct tad all
we end up doing is making criminals," Ch
Sports betting is the most justified of all types
cf gambling because as chances cf winning Z
down, the dividends increase. Bettors can improve
those chances by studying the sport and- its
teams, he said. Television networks and news
papers pay prognosticates to keep people
informed of "the latest line," or ho;v much each
team "should" win or lose by. Omaha's Channel

season.

Elesek ssid representatives from all geogra

which was designed to "broaden the aicultursl
background of state agricultcrd leaders."
Elezek said Israel's modem teclsolegy has
residents "living in the future-," while Egypt lap
behind, reding cn mere traditional techniques.
The LEAD III group, called LEAD "fellows,"
visited import and expert facilities, national
museums, historical sites- and an Israeli
A kibbutz b a cooperative farm where families
work and live together solely for the welfare of
the group.
Elesek said the trip included a visit to en NU
cooperative project in Morocco, dinner with the
U.S. ambissador to Morocco and a meeting with
the governor cf Morocco's Settst province.
The trip h part of LEAD'S second-year pro
gram. International agriculture is emphasized '
the second year, he said, while the first year
ccRceatrates cn the national scene.
The LEAD program was set up to "enhance the
leadership qualities in Nebraska's agricultural
leaders and broaden the knowledge of back- -ground
on economic, political, labor, social and .
historical issues concerning agriculture," Blezek
The program brings representatives and
.national agriculture leaders together to discuss
problems and sciaticas in the agricultural sector.
"We want our state's future leaders to have
the background to make intelligent decisions as
leaders, as they get more into the state's key
leadership roles," be said.

University of Nebraska and state college
students would be under-represented by a
proposed "super board," state Sen. Dennis
Eaack cf Dis said Thursday.
Eaack and ASUN oScials put their opin
ions about the board and other student
related legislation on the table beside the
coffee and doughnuts at a breakfast meet
ing sponsored by the ASUN Government Liai
son Committee.
The Constitutional Revision and Recrea
tion Committee has scheduled hearings Feb.
14 for two resolutions calling for the super
board, a modified NU Board of Regents. LESS
would expand the board cf regents to 13
members, five appointed by the governor.
LH33 would have a board cf nine people
appointed by the governor, also bringing
technical colleges into the board's Jurisdic
tion. If cither proposal gains committee nrd
legislative approval, it will be placed on the
November 18S3 general election ballot
Each plan allows for three non-voting stu
dent representatives ca the board. They
would speak for sasven copsses.
ASUN President Mark Ecudder said he
waists to keep the present governing system
because a student appointee to the super
board could be put in an uncomfortable
position.
"I would have trouble arguing the gover
nor's budget whea I knew he was the one who
appointed me," Scudde? ssid.
Dsbra Chapelle, executive director cf the
Nebraska State Student Association, said
state college students feel the same.
"They, too, are sedously concerned that
student representation would be diluted,"
Chapelie said.
Scudder said an amendment attached to
the approved resolution that would allow
seven student delegates wcu-d make the
super board mere lucrative. -
Baack said the resolutions would be killed
if they v;ere in the Education Committee, lut
the eastern Nebrsskadomtosted Constitutional
Revision and EecreaUen Committee increases
the chance cf one cf the proposals reaching
the Les'ature floor, he said.
Baack, a member of both committees, said
he would vote against the super hoard because
it would require too much of its members end
discriminate rg-Jast outstate Nebraska.
"I can't -imagine being well-enough in
formed to govcra th3 urdverslty and all the
stale colleges," he said.
