mentionable. .The second and third priorities
both require eipmdod expenditures.
Roskens sdd university libraries
need additiond money to keep pace
with the growing idoraation pools.
UNL dso must have more and
better computers in both aeodemic
and administrative areas, Eoskens
ssid. He asked the senators for a
$3.5 million outlay for computer
equipment and $1.5 million for their
operation.
. "We believe that our request is
reasonable end Justifiable," he sdd.
UNL has done its part to stream-'
line programs to the bare minimum,
he sdd. The university has trimmed
or redistributed Si 2.5 million this
year, according to Eoskens' figures.
Hie state must do its part now, he
sdd, if senators are serious about
reviving Nebraska's economy.
"Do we believe we will be suc
cessful without a strong, vigorous,
progressive stats university?" he
asked the committee.
rcdlss that some money thai appears
in the university budgst ectsdly
provides no economic gda to the
university mi should be considered
separate from the budget.

pays th s tdtlen of visiting graduate
students. When UNL students travel
to other states for instruction not
offered at UNL, the students pay
only resident tuition to the other
school. The state pays those schools
the dlHTsrence between resident and
non-resident tdtion.
"We have become the vehicle
through which those funds flow,"
Eoskens ssid, "but we receive no
economic benefit torn that money."
Nebraska gets the .most for its
money from the Coordinating Ccm
mlisslcn for Postsecondary Educa
tion, sdd Eeth Klcstermen, com
mission member.
The four commission members
receive an average salary that ranks
above only commissioners in Dela
ware and New Hampshire, Kloster
man said. Three years ego six peo
ple served on the commission. Every
possible program reduction has
.already been made, she sdd.
The commission could save the
state money by coordinating pro

most colleges and universities, she
