from the federal minimum wage,
Hall said.
Companies with fewer than
10 workers are exempt from the
federal^vage law. Nebraska law
only exempts companies with
fewer than four workers from
the minimum wage.
Hall said many of the com
panies with four to 10 workers
pay more than the minimum
wage, so the law would affect
few workers.
Although somcf look at it as
an economic development bill
to “put more money into the
pockets of the people who need
it,” Hall said, he just looks at it
as an “equity issue.”
Two people spoke in favor of
the bill and one opposed it at
Monday’s public hearing.
In a statement to committee
members, Gordon McDonald,
president of the Nebraska State
AFL-CIO, said, “We live in a
society that claims to value work
and does. But work hasn’t done
it for those people not covered
by the federal minimum wage. 1
hope you can support this mod
est increase for those who need
it the most.. * “
Paul Eldien, owner of Eldien
Dairy Queen in Lincoln, testi
fied against the bill, saying the
increase to$3.35 an hour hurt his
business.
Eldien said he supports the
training wage for new employ
ees under 20 years old of 53.25
an hour beginning July 1,1990,
and $3.61 an hour starting in
April 1991. pile training wage,
included in the federal law and
the Nebraska bill, cw be paid
for 90 days with the possibility
of a 90-day extension.
For the first part of a new
employee’s work, Eldien said,
most of the time is spent in
training and “we’ve wasted our
moneyY’ on the pay.
Sen. Elroy Hefner of
Coleridge said he agreed with
Eldien that a training wage is
necessary. ,
“Sometimes, when you hire
the younger people, you have to
do a lot of training,” Hefner
said. “Some of them just don’t
know how to work.
The bill also raises the mini
mum wage for tipped employ
ees from $2.01 to $2.09 an hour
starting July 1, 1990, and to
S2.13 beginning in April 1991.
NCAA

athletes only can receive $1,700 oul
of a possible $2,300 in federal aid.
Non-scholarship athletes lose thcii
varsity eligibility or are; counted against
a school’s scholarship total -- the
NCAA allows 95 for football and 15
for basketball -- if they accept federal
aid.
Landis said senators agree that
withholding federal aid from non
scholarship athletes is discriminatory.
But senators are concerned about
possibly placing the university and
the NCAA in conflict, he said.
“We must ask ourselves, ‘Why
must we comply with a rule we know
is wrong?”’ he said.
