TVrae cards needed
,0(D)(D) daily '
ffto dlrop add

About 2,000 students are expected
each day this week for dropadd, which
begins today at 8 a.m.
Anthony Schkade, assistant director
of registration and records, said most
students go through dropadd because
they change their minds about what
classes they want.
During pre-registration, Schkade said,
68 percent of UNL students received all
the classes they wanted at the time
requested. Another 30 percent got the
classes they wanted but not at the
requested time, Schkade said.
Many times, Schkade said, students
will go through dropadd hoping that a
class they were unable to get earlier
will be open. This rarely happens, he
said, because the classes that fill are
ones that are popular, and few students
want to drop them.
Sometimes a student will attend a
class once, get the syllabus and" if a
paper is required or if the class involves
more work than anticipated, a student
will drop it, Schkade said.
Dropadd runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
today through Friday and from 8 a.m. to
5 p.m. Jan. 19. Jan. 19 is the last day to
drop with a full refund and add classes,
but drops will continue to be processed
until April 10 with decreasing refunds.
Students going through dropadd
begin the process at the service counter
in the Administration Building 111 by
picking up a time appointment card.
Time cards will be distributed for
that day only. Schkade said time cards
will be used only as long as they are
necessary, probably until mid-week.
Then students will be served on a first
come, first-served basis.

peci&l session woes comtiirae for university
By Michael Hooper

Education Committee Chairman Sen.
Ron Withem of Papillion said NU prob
ably will see another squeeze in its
budget during the regular session of
the Legislature that began last week.
Withem said that although Gov. Kay
Orr's top concern is enhancing educa
tion, he does not see how that is possi
ble without raising taxes. Orr has said
she will veto any bill raising taxes.
"She wants to enhance education
without increasing taxes," Withem said.
"But I don't think it can be done."
Orr supported the $6.5 million budget
Senator: Maintaining both taxes and budget just won't work
cuts, which included a $1.5 million cut
to the university made during the
Legislature's special session in De
cember. The current mood of the Legislature
is that there won't be the necessary 30
votes to override the governor's veto of
a tax-increase bill.
Under current tax laws, there is a
high probabilty that substantial budget
cuts will have to be made to balance
the state budget, according to Michael
Calvert, director of the Legislative Fis
cal Office.
Unless some legislative action is
'She wants to
enhance educa
tion without
increasing taxes. I
don't think it can
be done.'
Withem
taken, Calvert said, the budget deficit
for the next two years could be as high
as $49 million.
Withem said that in general, the
higher education concern is how to
accomodate budget cuts.
"The people on the university level
will have to decide which programs
should be eliminated," Withem said.
Withem said he supports vertical
cuts rather than horizontal, across-the-board
cuts.
The intelligent, managerial thing to
do is to cut the programs that are
barely adequate, Withem said.
"(NU) needs to decide what it does
well at and what is just adequate," he
said.
Withem said tie expects the Educa
tion Committee to study and form leg
islation on the distribution of state
funds to elementary and secondary
schools across the state.
Withem said he disagreed with the
Legislature's December decision to cut
$1.9 million in state aid to public
education.
Cutting state aid only shifts the
financial burden from state to local
government, Withem said. Property
taxes already are too high, he said.

New parking lot opens
for commuting students:
room for 125 vehicles
By Chris Anderson
Staff Reporter
Tom LauderDaily Nebraskan
A new UNL parking lot on City Campus
opened Monday to commuter students.
The lot, located on the southwest corner of
19th and Vine streets, will enable off-campus
students with area-20 permits to park near
their classrooms on the east side of city
campus, said Accounting Manager Sherryl
Chamberlain of the UNL Police Department's
parking division.
The parking lot has a rock surface and will
hold approximately 125 vehicles.
The development of the lot is part of a
larger project designed to expand student
parking, Chamberlain said.
Approximately 600 to 700 parking stalls
will be available in the area after the project
is completed, said Ray Coffey, UNL business
manager. The expansion will increase the
number of commuter parking stalls on campus
approximately 25 percent.
The new property was purchased from a
California developer by the Rock Island
Railroad.
About 13 acres of land was purchased.
Three to four acres will be developed into
parking lots, Coffey said.
The new lot, which was a parking lot before
it was purchased didn't need much work,
Chamberlain said, but it will be a "matter of
time," before the remaining land will be
developed into parking space.
Landscaping the property, installing'lights,
constructing cement barriers and laying rock
will need to be done before the rest of the
land can be used, she said.
The area was designed as a commuter lot,
Coffey said, because students have expressed
concern that parking stalls on the campus
are oversold and that there is no space for
off-campus students to park on the east and
southeast sides of campus.
Expansion also is needed because parking
permit sales have increased 2 percent over
last year, Chamberlain said.
Students may obtain a UNL parking permit
from the UNL Police Department, 1335 N.
17th St.
Permits cost $25 for one semester, $30 for
spring and summer semesters or $40 for a
year.
