NU President Ronald Roskens re cently sent out letters to 750 alumni, identified by the Alumni Association as being interested in actively supporting the university. In the letter, Roskens encouraged those alumni to call legislators and others to "put in a good word for us."

Last year, senators approp riated $5 million for the construction of the Lied Center. Ash said the foundation has 98 per cent of the targeted $15 million in pri vate donations for the construction of the Lied Center. The foundation's funds will be coupled with a $10 million gift from the Ernst Lied Foundation. John Janovy, interim director of Mor rill Hall, said the $4 million approp riated to the museum will be used to improve climate control and provide better handicapped access to the build ing.

Since the letters were sent March 26, about 24 alumni have returned application blanks tojoin the "friends" network.

"The short term effect is our increased ability to use the building as a teaching and tourist attraction. And on the long term, it helps us maintain our speci mens, some of which are very rare." Harley Schrader, director of the UNL physical plant, said the $2.5 million appropriated to NU to improve building safety will be used primarily to place emergency lighting in UNL buildings and improve corridors for easier exit in case of fire. He said improving the safety of UNL's buildings has been going on since 1973 when the state fire marshal found some buildings in viola tion of safety codes. But, he said, safety requirements have been lowered since the fire mar shal's report and most major safety improvements already have been made. alumni, parents and other NU suppor ters. "Friends" receive updates l&n leg islation and other matters concerning the university about three times a year, said Joe Rowson, NU public relations director. The recent move to expand the group membership grew out of increas ing concern about budget battles, Row son said. As Roskens wrote: "The past several years have been most difficult for the University because of repeated budget reductions. We have been forced to re shape the institution, and if our budget situation does not improve, further cuts and program curtailment will be forced upon us."
