With the word that the university is
facing a $1.6 million budget cut, sev
eral university officials have expressed
concern, particularly in the College of
Nursing and the College of Pharmacy.
Last year the Lincoln division of the
College of Nursing faced elimination
when budget cuts were being made.
However, the college garnered enough
support and the Lincoln division was
saved, although the college took a
$300,000 budget cut.
But now, with the Nebraska legisla
ture in special session to make up for
an approximately $17 million budget
deficit and the university facing another
cut, some nursing officials are worried.
"This would be the third time we'd
face it (a cut to the College of Nurs
ing)," said Beverly Cunningham, stu
dent affairs adviser at the Lincoln div
isin of the college. "I was expecting
this when I heard there was a revenue
shortfall."
Gov. Bob Kerrey said on KLIN radio
Wednesday that if the university had
made the cuts he proposed two years
ago, the university would not be facing
budget cuts now. Kerrey had advocated
the elimination of the Lincoln division
of the College of Nursing and the Col
lege of Pharmacy, which was saved,
although it took a $200,000 cut.
Cunningham disagreed with Kerrey.
"As long as we're in hard economic
times, he'll go to the university to make
budget cuts," Cunningham said.
Rosemary Bergstrom, Lincoln division
administrative assistant, said she is
upset the university is facing another
budget cut and that the division may be
cut.
"After the last time around, we felt
pretty secure," Bergstrom said. "We
didn't expect to be going through this
again."
Rosalie Yeaworth, dean of the Col
lege of Nursing, said she does not
expect the college to take another cut
if the university's budget is slashed.
"We gave at the office last time,"
said Yeaworth, referring to the 1985
budget cut. "We took a $300,000 cut,
and we're still carrying that out." The
college has yet to eliminate 1 1 faculty
positions because of the 1985 cut.
"We've been following through with
that in good faith," she said. "I don't
think they're going to turn around and
say, well, now that we cut $300,000,
we're going to cut the Lincoln division."
If there is a cut in the university's
budget, the NU Board of Regents must
decide where cuts will be made.
Like Yeaworth, Clarence Ueda, inte
rim dean of the College of Pharmacy,
said College of Pharmacy officials are
always concerned when cuts are men
tioned, but he doesn't think the college
will be targeted for cuts this time.
Cuts to the college would depend on
the severity of the shortfall, Ueda said,
and from what he's seen, he said he
doesn't think cuts to the pharmacy col
lege will occur.
Ueda said he is concerned when
higher education is picked to deal with
shortfall. The future of the state
depends on higher education, he said.

a University of Nebraska administrator
for more than 40 years, will be Friday at

heard him utter a negative comment."

helping to build the NU athletic pro
gram. He also was instrumental in
much of the university's post-World
War II building program. During his

strongly defended academic freedom
In tribute to his service, the NU
Board of Regents named a residence
hall, Selleck Quadrangle, for him.
Selleck is survived by his daughter,

S. Clark of Washington D.C.; two grand
children and nieces and nephews.

Foundation.

Cornhusker fans will have to spend weeks in
New Orleans, La., to take in all the sights and
sounds of a place noted for its flair for
entertaining.
New Orleans, a city saturated with heritage,
celebrates life year-round. Tourism is its second
largest industry. Visitors will have no trouble
filling their days and nights with tours, shop
ping, music, eating, drinking and generally
enjoying a Christmastime visit and a warm wel
come to the New Year.
The St. Charles Avenue Streetcar provides one
of the best tours of the city at one of the best
prices. A 60-cent fare includes a ride on the
oldest continuously operating street railway in
the country 50 years old. The 1 12 hour tour
includes a view of one of the city's most exclu
sive suburbs, the Garden District, uptown New
Orleans, Canal Street and Carrollton Avenue.
Sightseers can catch the streetcar all along
Canal Street or anywhere on St. Charles Avenue.
For those who like to tour by water instead of
land, a ferry ride across the Mississippi River is
an alternative. Ferries depart from three loca
tions: Chalmette, Jackson Avenue wharf and
Canal Street wharf.
If seasickness is a problem, following the
Moonwalk along the riverfront provides a scenic
view of the river while the boats pass.
For a different angle on tours, days can be
spent viewing the city's museums and galleries.
The exhibition gallery of the Historic New
Orleans Collection on Royal Street is one of the
foremost private museums in the country. A
quarter is the admission cost to the Pharmacy
Museum on Chartres Street. The Virline Collec
tion is located in the K&B Plaza. The Louisiana
State Museum includes collect ions of the Mint,
Jazz and Carnival museums in the old U.S. Mint,
Louisiana Folk Art in the Jackson House, the
Cabildo, the Presbytere, the Arsenal, the Lower
Pontalba House, Madame John's Legacy and the
Creole House eight museums in one.
The Musee Conti Wax Museum on Conti Street
in the French Quarter displays some Louisiana
legends, and the Confederate Museum on Camp
Street contains memorabilia of the Civil War.
The Confederate Museum is the oldest museum
in Louisiana.
America's third oldest race track, the Fair
Grounds Race Track, offers horse racing 10 min
utes from downtown New Orleans. If visitors
want to get out for a little exercise, Southern
Runners Productions holds weekly road races of
various distances all over the city.
There are many shopping areas in New Orleans.
For more than 250 years, the French Market
has been a busy marketplace. This 90-square-
block area includes specialty, entertainment,
fruit and vegetable stalls, craft booths and a flea
market. Across the Square the recently reno
vated Jackson Brewery contains many modern
shops and boutiques. Canal Street has a broad
mix of department stores and specialty shops.
One of the newest shopping additions is the
New Orleans Riverwalk. Suburban shopping is
endless the Esplanade, Oakwood, Belle
Promenade, Westside Shopping Center and Vil
lage Aurora.
For the New Orleans shopper with antiques in
mind, Magazine Street is the center. Uptown
Square is packed full of specialty shops and
Maple Street offers a mixture of jewelry stores,
fashion boutiques, designers and artisans.
While strolling along New Orleans streets,
visitors may hear strains of that famous New
Orleans jazz wafting through the air. Music is
everywhere in this city. Weekend jazz concerts
take place year-round in the French Market, and
street-corner musicians entertain in the French
Quarter. Traditional New Orleans jazz concerts
are held nightly at Preservation Hall on Peter
Street for a S2 admission.
Food, shopping, music and other surprises
are rolled into Bourbon Street. Dixieland, rhythm
and blues, Cajun music and, of course, all that
jazz pours out of the clubs on the street.
