FOSSIL from Page 1 A grant from the National Science Foundation made it possible for the division of vertebrate paleontology to move the fossils and to renovate the research collection, Hunt said. Renovation of the collection in cludes upgrading records, improving storage areas and applying preserva tives to the fossils, Hunt said. Unless preservative hardeners are applied, fossils that have not been mineralized will break apart, Hunt said. He said older fossils usually have enough minerals in them to pre vent decaying, but newer fossils, such as those from the Ice Age, will decay. Hugh Genoways, director of the museum, said the move will help preserve the fossils and make it easier for scholars to study them. He said some of the fossils have been lost because their current stor age is “not much different than if they were stored outside.” Hunt said the collection eventu ally will be computerized so re searchers nationwide will be able to use it. fin PrifJLn_ I Love Library hours extended Love Library’s hours are ex tended during dead week and fi nals week to accommodate study ing University of Nebraska-Lin coln students.

HIGHER ED from Page 1 Harold Enarson, a member ot the LB247 consultant study team, ex pressed disapproval of Miller’s sug gestion. The move would “strip the board of trustees of one of its most fundamental powers,” Enarson said. The committee recommended empowering the new board of regents effective July 1, 1991. Daryl Hall of Kearney expressed concern about making that recommendation now. “If this is the answer to the higher education question, it should be as good six months from now as it is today,” he said. "If this is the an swer to the higher education ques tion, if should be as good six months from now as it is today." -Hall agBBBs \ ggg&agMg| State Sen. Ron Withem of Papil lion said the committee really didn’t have time to postpone an implemen tation date for the interim board of regents. The proposal will go before the Legislature in its January session. An amendment to the Nebraska State Constitution would be required to change the current governance sys tem. “The constitutional amendment needs to pass in the ’90 session,” said W ithem, co-chairman of the commit tee. 4 ‘Otherwise, the amendment will have to wait until ’92.” But W ithem said after the meeting that he thinks the Legislature will look at the proposal very seriously. “1 think there’s going to be a lot of support for it,” Withem said.
