It is the key to Lynn Finney’s life as an athlete, a performer, a student and a businessman. Finney, 38, is making a number of beneficial decisions in his life; one decision is his return to UNL to finish his education in the area of human relations. The native Nebraskan is a junior at the university. *rm slaying focused overall, in all the dynamics of life,” Finney said. “I realize it’s important to take advantage of opportunities, experiences and relationships in order to lead a well-balanced life and function well in all areas!” An All-City and All-State high school football player from Pius X High School, Finney attended UNL in i 971 on a football scholarship. After two years at the university, he gave up his scholarship to pursue other interests and sort through some uncertainties. “Looking back, I was faced with confusion, wondering who I was, insecurities about growing up, where I wanted to go — normal pressures,” he said, “and actually, I was pulling more pressure on myself than was necessary.” After leaving UNL in 1973, See FINNEYon6 Budget cuts bring end to telephones By Jeremy Fitzpatrick Senior Reporter rtand art history students may have a hard time calling their professors after Oct. 1, when many of the professors’ telephones will be removed. The department is one of several in the College of Arts and Sciences to cut telephone service to comply with a 2 percent reduction in the college’s budget. Associate Dean Larry Lusk said the cuts were internal and made on a one-year basis to balance the budget within the College of Arts and Sci ences. Departments were not required to cut phone service in the budget, but many did so to avoid eliminating faculty positions or other services. Joseph Ruffo, chairman of the art and art history department, said that because of the cuts, faculty in his department will have their phones removed unless they pay for them with non-dcpartmcntal funds. Of 25 faculty, 16 will have their phones disconnected, he said, saving the department about $4,725 over the See PHONE on 3 I Yeltsin calls in sick. Page 2.1 Funding falls short. Page 3.

Brantner, an assistant professor of modem languages and literature, said many dark walks from her campus office to her car at night made her think some areas of campus were lighted inadequately. When she was elected to Academic Senate last year, B ranter became a member of the parking committee to try to improve lighting. “Everybody knows it’s a problem, but nobody’s really interested in doing anything about it,’’ she said. > Brantner recently submitted a map of City Campus to various UNL offi cials. On it, sne noted areas where she thinks more lights are needed, where bulbs are burned out and where trees and shrubbery obscure existing lights. The map was the product of obser vations Brantner made while walking around campus at night. In some places, she said, lights were spaced too far apart. In others, branches hanging in front of or over lights dimmed the illumination they should provide. “If the lights are spaced farther apart, you put in brighter light bulbs, which this cheap university doesn’t do. They space them further, and they put in dimmer bulbs," she said. Ken Cauble, interim director of the UNL police department, was one official who received the map. “There are some areas where addi tional lighting would be nice, and there are areas where trees distract from present lighting," Cauble said. “But I’’.n not sure that all the lights she has on there are necessary.” He agreed that lighting between the State Historical Society and Wick Alumni Center could be improved. He also said more lighting was needed between Memorial Stadium and Ed Weir track because many commuter students and faculty walk through there at night. Jay Schluckebier, assistant direc tor of landscape services, said his department had no plans yet to pul in more lighting on City Campus. He said the department was trying to install more lighting on the East Campus loop. Some of the old Westing See LIGHTS on 6 LIGHTING on CAMPUS
