Passage of a bill that will lengthen
the time given to pay for new university
construction, including the Lied Cen
ter for Performing Arts, is expected,
officials said Monday.
"We've been proceeding on that
basis all the way along," said Tom Ash,
. NU foundation director of annual giv
ing and publications. "We've done all
our legwork on that basis. This is the
confirmation to a commitment that
they made earlier."
Senators gave second-round appro

funding for the Lied Center and in

Because of the continuing pressure
of budget reductions, NU officials have
started looking for more friends 750
of them.
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."
Roskens encouraged alumni to sup
port four bills:
O LB 1250: a salary bill for an
increase of 3 percent for all state
employees.

buildings. 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. The improvements in air condi
tioning, lighting and humidity control
are necessary to maintain rare speci
mens and improve tourism, he said.

term effects, and one will have short-

increase over last year.
O LB 1252: a capital construction
bill that gives about $325,000 to NU for
safety projects. Also included is $350,000
for the Lied Center for the Performing
Arts.
O LB 842: funding for two approved
construction projects.
Roskens also encouraged alumni to
join NU's network of friends.
Since the letters were sent March
26, about 24 alumni have returned
application blanks tojoin the "friends"
network.
"Friends of the University" is a sup
port group that was created about
three years ago. The group includes
about 250 Nebraska residents

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."
Roskens, in keeping with the letter's
"friendly" theme signed it "Ron."
