"We can see it building and we're frustrated that we don't have the resources to deal with it." Because of the budget cuts, Furga son said, UNL will not buy new equip ment this year or replace broken-down equipment. Many UNL departments, he said, have been forced to abandon ser vice contracts with repairmen to save money. "They're essentially playing the odds, hoping that they won t break down," he said. Purchases of basic office supplies also have been cut, which forces pro fessors to pass on costs to students or pay for supplies from their own pockets. Tuck said professors are making great use of copying services like Kin ko's Copies that prepare packets for students to buy. Clarice Lipe, manager of Kinko's downtown store at 1229 R St., would not comment on her store's business. Haack said NU has had to put off many necessary repairs over the last few years because of repeated mid year budget cuts and small regular budgets. The latest cuts, he said, mean that UNL probably would not repair a ceiling if it fell down. "Eventually, it catches up with you," he said. The recent spell of mild weather is helping UNL survive the cuts in its utility budget, Furgason said. But return of bad weather coupled with the open ing of new buildings like Barkley Cen ter on East Campus could put the uni versity in worse financial shape, he said. Haack said a bill has been intro duced in the Legislature to replace money cut from veterinary student contracts. Such deficit appropriations aren't unusual and normally pass, he said. "The students are already in (the schools)," he said. "We're not going to throw them out." Tuck said that although academic programs so far have been spared, cuts in the operating budget hurt faculty morale as well. Professors have seen their teaching effectiveness reduced or research projects crippled because supplies and staff are not available, he said. "It's like saying, 'Do you want a rifle or the ammunition to put in it?' " he said. "You've got tradeoffs all the way along." Continual budget cuts make faculty members wonder if state government is committed to higher education, Tuck said. "You just start adding these things together," he said, "and you get the idea that your abilities aren't appreciated."

Bauer is campus pastor for the Luth eran Chapel, 1510 Q St. Washington, king of big spenders COHEN from Page 4 Washington. Every year now, the presi dent has called for a balanced budget and then submitted one that's out of balance. Every year, the president and Congress have said that spending has to be curtailed and every year it isn't. The result has been the passage of Gramm-Rudman-Hollings. But as a draconian measure it is nothing com pared to the jail term Jeffrey Levitt faced and still he spent and spent. The judge gave him 18 months. For this reason, there ought to be statues of Jeffrey Levitt all over Wash ington maybe one of him in a bath tub with faucets shaped like lion heads. He ought to be seen on horseback, a hat and a pigeon on his head. There ought to be a government office building named for him, a traffic circle, too, and every year schools would acknowledge Levitt by taking their students on a field trip to a shopping mall. Barring a successful appeal, Jeffrey Levitt will soon report to jail, a martyr to U.S. values run amock. He is to spending what Paul Bunyan is to log ging and someday all Americans will honor his birthday. In its characteristic way, Washington already does. Here, every day is Jeffrey Levitt Day. 1986, Washington Post Writers Group Cohen writes an editorial column for the Washington Post.
