Roskens says increases aren’t where they should be BUDGET from Page 1 non-faculty in each year. The gover nor has proposed a 7.5 percent salary increase for both faculty and non faculty in each of the two years. Both the governor and the regents h-?v; included $4.4 million for library acquisitions in the first year and $5.5 million in the second year. In each of the two years, NU has requested an additional $500,000 for library acquisitions and $750,000 for library automation. The governor Pro-choice activists make their views known at Union ABORTION from Page 1 to support life, not the pro-choice position. University of Nebraska-Lincoln law professor Richard Duncan said that the right-to-life movement could not end even if the Supreme Court overturns the Roe vs. Wade decision that legalized abortion. The battle then would have to be carried to the 50 state legislatures and to the Congress to get a federal civil rights act for the unborn, Duncan said. Many of the protesters met at the Nebraska Union for a bake sale and rally after the walk. They were greeted there by about 25 people carrying signs supporting the Su preme Court ruling that allows women to have abortions. Nanci Hamilton, spokesperson of Students for Choice, said their group was demonstrating to let people know that “there is another side to the issue.” Adam Wall, one of the founding members of Students for Choice, said he was against “pro-lifers” view of women. “Pro-life is just a euphemism for control over women’s bodies,” he said. Meredith Campbell of Lincoln said, “I marched and demonstrated in the 1960s to get abortion legal. We have to defend that right or we’re going to be back to women dying again.” Another person supporting the right to have an abortion, Jane Mich ener of Lincoln, said she had come to remind the larger group that the ma jority of Americans support the pro choice position. Students request option in survey MINORS from Page 1 But, Petr said, he believes students should have the opportunity to get an emphasis in any area. Jackie Stanczyk, a junior account ing major, said that the ability for Co A students to declare a minor would “definitely help.” “A minor shows a wider range ot interests ... that you’re not focused on one thing,” Stanczyk said. Senior business major Rick Cos tello said recognizing minors would encourage business students to be come better educated. Currently, their education is not, ‘‘well rounded,” he said. Although the survey was directed toward business students, Lytle said he wanted students from various col leges to answer the survey. That way, he said, students in other colleges that do not allow minors could use the survey results. Lytle’s latest action was to write a letter to CBA Dean Gary Schwcndiman, In the letter, Lytle said he asked tor permission to sub mit a policy changing proposal to the college. The pro|Kisal would request that the college recognize minors for its students. He said he hopes to receive a response from Schwcndiman early next week. If Schwcndiman “gives the go,” Lytle said he will take his proposal to the CBA Academic Planning Com mittee. He said that if this committee agrees with his proposed changes, a vote by the enure (BA faculty will be taken. included the automation money but excluded the extra acquisitions money from her budget. Roskens said he would have liked to have seen the additional library acquisition money in the governor’s proposed budget. Roskens said he knows the library situation stiil needs improvement. NU has requested $38.9 million over the two years for 14 new con struction projects. The governor pro posed $5.9 million over the two years for four projects. The majority of this money, $5 million, will finance the renovation and replacement of heat ing and cooling systems. Within the construction project section, NU had requested $383,300 in the first year for UNL’s College of Business Administration renovation planning funds. In the second year, NU requested $3.1 million for the renovation. The governor pushed the $383,300 to the second year and did not include the $3.1 million in her budget. NU had requested an increase of $8.4 million over the two years for programs. The governor has included a $334,500 increase in her budget. Within the program’s funding, NU has requested $168,000 in the second year for three new faculty positions for CBA at UNL. This is also included in the governor’s budget. Also within the programs funding, NU has requested a $166,500 in crease for student services in the sec ond year. Orr also has included this money in her request. NU requested $637,000 in 1989 90 and $569,000 in 1990-91 for tele communications. The governor did not include this money in her budget. Roskens said several state agencies requested money for this. The gover nor instead has set up a committee to study statewide telecommunications used for long-distance learning. NU is represented on this committee. NU has requested $2 million for a new administrative computing sys tem. The governor has recommended that $791,700 go toward the project. Best sit at head of class By Scott Cook Staff Reporter _ Students who sit in die front of a room (luring class tend to get better grades and participate mote than those who sit in die back, said Lynn White, chairperson of the Depart ment of Sociology. Students in front may perform better because they are less likely to be intimidated or distracted by a large and impersonal classroom, White said. “The class seems smaller to them simply because they only see the teacher and a few other stu dents,” she said. White said students in tftc DacK might feel slightly intimidated because they have the whole class right in from of them. As a result, they might not feet as inclined to participate, she said. . . « ■ White said students in front also appear to be more interested in the class than those in back. “(Students in the back) may read the paper or watch other stu dents - things that I don ’t see stu dents in from doing as often,” she said. Kristine Vrooman, a junior psychology major, said she defi nitely does better in the front of a class. “I had to sit in the back of a class once and it was harder to stay awake and pay attention than it was in the front.” Laura Larson, a sophomore art rruyar, said that where she sits in class does not affect her grades. ”1 do OK bach here,” Larson said, referring to the last row in Love Library's auditorium.
