WRC budget debated
By David G. Young
Staff Reporter
The Nebraska unions must remain
dependent on student fees because of
the limited flexibility involved in
combining private enterprise with
university needs, said Daryl Swan
son, director of the unions.
Swanson presented the unions’
$1.25 million student fee request to
the Committee for Fees Allocation
Tuesday. The proposed budget would
use slightly less student fees than
were allocated this year.
Many of the problems with the
unions can be traced to the academic
calendar, Swanson said. When the
students leave for breaks, the unions
receive no income, he said.
“I can tell you that when running
anything that resembles a private
enterprise, when your income goes to
zero, you’re in trouble,” he said.
One of the areas where the unions
are least profitable is in the area ol
food service, he said. While the cater
ing service provided a $177,575
profit, sales by the cafeterias have
decreased in recent years, he said.
The Harvest Room alone loses
$70,000 per year, said James Gnesen,
vice chancellor for student affairs.
This may lead to its elimination in the
future, he said.
“We’d love to get a commercial
pizza place operating, probably, and
maybe even a deli, Griesen said.
“That’s caught up in our process of
remodeling.’’
The budget proposal for the un
ions includes a $19,492 budget in
crease for the Women’s Resource
Center, Swanson said. CFA dis
cussed this proposed change exten
sively.
CFA member Julie Jorgensen
questioned why WRC should receive
a significant increase when the Cul
ture Center does not. This is an un
usual contrast, especially in light of
the “bad image’ ’ WRC has acquired,
she said.
Keith Malo, CFA member, said
the center is seen by many as a
“hangout” for members of the
Committee Offering Lesbian And
Gay Events.
CFA member Tim Prickell
agreed.
“The problem definitely needs to
be addressed before we throw money
at it,” Prickett said.
CFA’s subcommittee for the Ne
braska unions will make recommen
dations and CFA will vote on the
budget Thursday.

11 people testify for deterrence bill
By Natalie Weinstein
Staff Reporter
Eleven people testified Tuesday
afternoon in favor of a bill that would
immediately revoke a person’s driv
ers license if he or she fails or refuses
to take a blood, breath or urine test.
Under LB799, a license would be
revoked immediately for one year on
the first offense, three years on the
second offense and five years on third
and subsequent offenses. A person
would fail the test if his or her alcohol
content exceeded the legal limit or if
any illegal drugs were detected.
The bill would allow a police offi
cer to immediately impound a per
son’s license and issue a 30-day tem
porary license. The person would
then have 10 days to request a hear
ing. The hearing would take place
within 20 days of the filing of the
request. The final decision would be
made within seven days of the hear
ing.
Tom Casady, chief deputy in the
Lancaster County Sheriff’s Depart
ment, said LB799 is “the most sig
nificant bill” concerning drunk driv
ing in front of the Nebraska Legisla
ture this year.
State Sen. Emil Beyer Jr. of
Gretna told the Transportation Com
mittee that currently four to eight
months can pass between the lime a
person is arrested and his or her li
cense is revoked.
Beyer, who introduced the bill,
said nearly two dozen states already
have laws similar to LB799. Mothers
Against Drunk Driving suggested the
idea for the bill to him, he said.
Six of the 11 persons testifying in
favor of the bill were members of
MADD.
No one testified against the bill.
Two persons who testified were neu
tral.
The Transportation Committee
took no action on the bill Tuesday.
State Sen. Howard Lamb of
Anselmo, chairman of the commit
tee, said the chances were good that
the bill would be advanced to the
Legislature’s floor as soon as some
minor changes were made in the
bill’s wording.
Steve McEIravy, assistant director
of the Alcoholism & Drug Abuse
Council of Nebraska, said the bill
would be an effective deterrent to
drunk drivers because the conse
quences are 44immediate and cer
tain.”
Margaret Higgins, director of the
Department of Motor Vehicles, said
passing the bill would qualify the
state to receive S2.5 million from the
federal government for alcohol-re
lated programs.
