Officials expect no gas shortage in Nebraska By Allen Schaben Staff Reporter_ Nebraska should not experience a major gasoline supply deficit this summer, despite a prediction that such shortages will plague most of the nation, say both state officials and indus try observers. ‘‘I don’t see anything that severe (for Ne braska),” said Larry Kinyon, a research spe cialist with the Nebraska Energy Office. r'If they (gas stations) continue running into prob lems with the suppliers, they can always go somewhere else.’' A report, issued by Buyers Up, a division of the advocacy group Public Citizen, predicted that motorists will see a new round of gasoline price risings this summer and a supply squeeze that could lead to gas lines reminiscent of the 1970s. The report predicted gasoline supplies to be the tightest since the energy crisis of the ’70s, despite relatively abundant world oil supplies. Beth Williams, Lincoln’s AAA Comhusker Motor Club office manager, said she doesn’t anticipate a shortage. Williams said gas demand rises in the sum mer. When there is a high demand, she said, there are high prices. Nebraska has the second highest gasoline sales tax at 21.7 cents a gallon.

The Parking Advisory Board has adopted a plan to have one lot of reserved 24 -hour parking for students who wish to pay $150 for the privi lege. The gated lot on the southwest comer of 17th and Vine streets will have some form of card access and offer 130 spaces. Students won’t be assigned a specific stall, but only 130 permits will be issued for this lot. A reserved space option also will be extended to faculty and staff 'members in various locations on both City and East Campuses for a $240 fee. Parking Advisory Board member Ray Coffey, UNL business manager of business and finance, said the idea to have reserved parking arose out of a new philosophical statement adopted by the board that basically means, “You ought to get what you pay for.” “The statement says that the Park ing Advisory Committee believes that parking rates ought to relate to the quantity and quality of the service that people get,” Coffey said. People who want reserved parking should be able to get it if they are willing to pay the extra price, he said. University Police Department Lt. John Burke agreed. “It’s really a step forward that we’ve needed for a long time,” he said. Installation of the necessary gates on the student lot shouldn’t be diffi cult, Burke said, because preliminary wiring for a gate system was included when the lot was constructed. Plans are being discussed for using new student identification cards as the gate pass for the lot, he said. Burke said students will receive a letter in their student packet detailing the application procedure for re served parking. If there are more responses than spots available, Burke said applicants will be chosen by lottery. Response to the 225 available staff and faculty reserved parking spaces has been good, he said, and more spaces may need to be made avail able. If there continues to be a great response, he said, those applicants also may be chosen by lottery. The addition of reserved parking is the beginning of a belter parking system that may include more gated lots in the future, Burke said. Coffey agreed and said a differen tiated rate system by proximity and quality is being considered but won't he implemented for some time. Until then, the money earned through reserved parking can he used for upgrading the system, he said. Upgrading the system also means a S10 increase for regular parking permits, Colley said. Coffey said the increase will be jsed to cover the costs of parking lot maintenance. Burke said the increase was needed to make improvements on several lots which need to be paved or need better lighting. “With over 12,000stalls . ..there are always improvements to be made,” Burke said. Coffey said maintenance costs last year amounted to $65 for each stall. The difference between that amount and the $40 charged for a parking permit came from meters and viola tion penalties, he said. With the permit rate increased to S50, meter and violation funds tan be used for making improvements in parking facilities instead of just maintaining them, Coffey said. Burke said there has not been a rate increase since 1983. r~ ■ ■ -1 R)ur Out Of Five Surveyed Said . They Preferred Beef.
