Regents lower pharmacy repair budget.-—r-r-m--1 By Diane Brayton Staff Reporter The NU Board of Regents Wednesday reduced a repair budget for the 12-year-old University of Nebraska College of Pharmacy building from original estimates of $4.5 million to $3.4 million. The building, located at the Uni versity of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, was completed in Novem ber 1976 at a cost of $2.8 million. Don Lcucnbcrgcr, UNMC vice chancellor for business and finance, said the safety of the pharmacy build ing has been questioned for the last seven years. Twenty-four faculty members and about 200 graduate pharmacy students use the building. The regents listened to reports Irom various architectural consult ants, including Aian Yee, a Honolulu engineer employed by Leo A. Daly, an Omaha architectural firm paid to evaluate the building’s safety. Yee told regents the building was unsafe to the point that a heavy snow storm could collapse the entire four story structure, according to reports from The Associated Press.

The bill, LB340, now advances to final reading, where senators will vote on whether to make it law. One of the amendments gives the historical society one year to com plete its study of identifiable skeletal remains currently in its possession. The lime limit would begin once the language of the bill is implemented into law. The amendment passed after sena tors defeated a proposal to increase the time limit to 1 1/2 years. Sen. Don Wescly of Lincoln introduced the proposal, saying it was a compromise between the one-year proposal and a three-year proposal supported by Sen. Jerome Warner of Waverly. Sen. Dennis Baack of Kimball said the historical society has had many of the remains for 50 years. He said he concurs with Attorney Gen eral Robert Spire’s opinion that says the historical society has had the remains long enough to study. The opinion says the state has had the burial remains and goods ” for 47 years too long,” Baack said. Warner withdrew his proposal for a three-year time limit after Wcscly’s amendment failed. Senators also passed an amend ment that sets the guidelines for re solving disputes over skeletal re mains and burial goods. The amendment, introduced by Sen. David Bcrnard-Stevcns of North Platte, would create an administra tive group to resolve disputes. The group would be comprised of an Indian representative and a histori cal society representative, Bcrnard Stevcns said. Those two representa tives would choose a third adminis trator to complete the group, he said. If the the two representatives can not agree on a third administrator within 15 days, the state ombudsman would automatically fill the position. I III I I I. I I—II .11.1 .-II. Welcome Back Students!
