Rates up 42 percent in 5 years, study says

Friday, May 1 and Saturday, May 2
Tuition and fees at public colleges
in Nebraska have risen 42 percent in
the last five years, the Nebraska Coor
dinating Commission for Postsecondary
Education reported Thursday.
With tuition costs rising, the finan
cial burden will fall on parents or stu
dents will have to take out more loans,
Beth Klosterman, a member of the
commission, told the Legislature's
Appropriations and Education com
mittees. "Nebraska's demographic projections,
in terms of its economic and individual
opportunities for the future, indicate
that citizens will be shortsighted if
they continue to mortgage the future of
our students by forcing more and greater
reliance on student loans," Klosterman
said.
Average tuition at Nebraska's higher-education
institutions is $1,135,
slightly below the national average of
$1,192, she said.
Nebraska's state colleges and NU
together rank 25th nationally in aver
age tuition levels, according to a com
mission report.
Except for UNMC, which ranks well
below the national average for tuition

NU and the state colleges are

The commission reported that fed
eral financial aid to students has
dropped considerably since 1976. In
1976, about 80 percent of student aid
was in the form of grants and 17 per
cent was loans. However, this year, 45
percent of federal aid was in the form of
grants ana bz percent was loans. Work
study aid has remained at about 3
percent.
If a student uses all the available
student-loan programs, it is possible to
tack up a debt of $74,750 upon gradua
tion, the commission's report said.

Ewoldt was charged with disturbing
the peace, being an inmate of a disor
derly house and resisting arrest. How
ever, all charges were later dropped. He
said that he never knew cops were
breaking up the benefit, although they
said they had informed everyone via the
P.A. to disperse immediately.
Over the years, he said, the story has
become exaggerated to say that he not
only hit the cop, but knocked him
down, broke his nose and loosened a
tooth.
"Actually, I think I just stunned
him . . ,if that."
There again, one of those stories
where the fish goes from a blue gill to a
northern. As there are two sides to a
coin, there are two sides to every story.
And reports stories that civilians
tell wouldn't be the same if you didn't
get the other side.
Campus Police Sgt. John Lustrea,
said that many of the really odd
encounters can't be printed on the
grounds that they would violate the
rights of those involved. But a few
wouldn't do any harm.
Lustrea recalled the story of two
drunk residence-hall dwellers who
missed the turn into the Harper-Schramm-Smith
parking lot and found
their car high-centered on the Burling
ton Northern railroad track. The officer
approached the car wheels still
spinning and girls still inside and
attempted to explain their dilemma to
them. The girls said that they wanted
to park the car in the parking lot. He
told them that would be impossible at
that time. Then he glanced down the
track. Approaching was a locomotive
doing about 60 mph. The officer, through
campus dispatch, tried to inform Bur
lington of the predicament. But all he
got was a recording the number had
been changed. Since trains are not
known for their ability to stop on a
dime, he evacuated the car, which
ended up becoming one with the train
for four blocks.
There are so many more tales of stu
dents' excruciating brushes with the
authorities, and theirs with us. Keep
that in mind next time the code-three
lights flare up in your rear-view mirror.

"We want to continue in the role of a
good neighbor to the Malone commun
ity," Goebel said.
David Solee, assistant to Luedtke,
said that the main concern is not being
able to get everyone to sit down together
to discuss the issue.
Godfrey, executive director of the
Malone Community Center, said that
the center has set up & jiew develop
ment beirf and needs" to know the
university's plan before it can decide
what area of the Malone community to
develop next.
Hanson said in closing that the
Malone community intended to keep
pushing to get the issue aired.
"Do not underestimate our com
mitment (to this issue)," Hanson said.
