NU faculty and staff members would get a total of $5.1 million in raises next year if the salary increase survives further challenges. Before the vote, senators turned back several attempts to delay the bill for further thought on a provision allowing state employees to appeal col lective bargaining decisions. Several more amendments to LB1250 await the Legislature when it takes the bill up again this morning. v ,1 1 University ol Nobraska-Llnco w V, nJ -i Wcrti r II la the fcrcth i'df : Ke' tl:v-ii Li the Pen;-, ylvidi ! master's degree in 1913 fro the lV.".v; :i.y c!

Loran Schmit, who sponsored the amendment to freeze salaries, said many Nebraskans have told him they oppose pay hikes. But Lincoln Sen. Don Wesely argued that state salaries must "be in the ball park" with the private sector if state agencies hope to retain employees. Airo Air By Thorn Gabrukiewicz Managing Editor Don Aripoli, UNL director of Scho larships and Financial Aid, said Tues day that he will leave UNL for a job at the University of Arizona in Tucson. Aripoli will become Arizona's assist ant vice president of student services April 28. In his resignation letter to Rudy Lewis, UNL vice chancellor for Student Affairs, Aripoli said the Arizona job is an opportunity too good to pass. "I believe that it will be a very posi tive step in terms of my career objec tives," Aripoli said in the letter. Lewis said Aripoli had been looking to make a career move for about two years and the Arizona job is "well deserved." Aripoli became the UNL director of Scholarships and Financial' Aid in August of 1979. In his new job, Aripoli will be re sponsible for installing an electronic student information system, the offices of undergraduate scholarship and fi nancial aid, registration and records and residence and enrollment. He also will work with the vice president on special projects. "I have mixed emotions," Aripoli said. "This is a tremendous opportun ity. Personally, it will be difficult to leave the university. They have been very good to me. But this is an oppor tunity I can't pass up." The search for a new director of Scholarships and Financial Aid will start with Ted Pfeifer, director of Reg- Payroll office clarifies taxing of tuition waivers The UNL payroll office has received 60 to 70 calls after an error about tui tion waivers tax withholding appeared Monday in the Bulletin Board, a faculty and staff publication. Kim Phelps, assistant to the vice chancellor for Business and Finance, said the article reported incorrectly that the payroll office tentatively plans to withhold one-half of graduate or pro- fessional students' tuition waivers in April's checks to comply with a new federal tax law. Instead, Phelps said, the payroll office tentatively plans to withhold Senators would "show them hope and give them a future" by approving the 3 percent increase, he said. The collective bargaining provision would let most state employees nego tiate wage rates and working condi tions with state government. Employees could appeal to the state Commission of Industrial Relations if they are not satisfied with the negotiations. Waverly Sen. Jerome Warner, Appro March 19, 1986 ( - ) ''A Aripoli istration and Records. Lewis said that Aripoli's position is a key spot in the university system, one that may take time to fill. "I need a very confident person," Lewis said. If the search draws many applicants, the director's job could be filled by the time Aripoli leaves on April 24, Lewis said. But because of budget reductions, the permanent replacement will not overlap Aripoli's final month. "It's sad I have to leave all the ties to Lincoln," Aripoli said. "The students have been great." taxes on one-half of waivers in the April check. The office will withhold taxes on the other half in the May check. The new federal law removed a sec tion of IRS policy that allowed gradu ate and professional students to ex clude their tuition waivers from taxable income. For example, Phelps said, a graduate assistant who made $6,000 and had a $1,300 tuition waiver only would have paid tax on the $6,000 before the IRS change. Under the new law, the student would have to pay taxes on the combined amount of $7,300, he said. priations Committee chairman, told senators the provision recognizes a Nebraska Supreme Court decision that gave the commission power to decide wage rate and working conditions. The bill was introduced, he said, to give the Legislature time to develop a method of handling bargaining and set up salary levels until that time. See BUDGET on 3 v.v..v.-.: 'ww.
