Standards
Continued from Page 1
He said the U n i versi ly of Nebraska
at Omaha especial ly should have stan
dards that arc attainable by the demo
graphics of the people in Omaha.
He urged the regents to modify the
proposed standards.
Regent John Payne of Kearney re
minded the opponents that students
could still be admitted to the univer
sity on the basis of special merit.
Lee Jones, NU executive vice presi
dent and provost, said, “No student
who shows evidence of capacity to
succeed will be turned away.”
He said students w'ith deficiencies
could be fully admitted to the univer
sity, but they must complete their
deficiencies to graduate.
Jones said the main idea of the
higher standards was not to keep
people out. The idea is to focus on
success, he said.
“Admission docs not mean much
il one is not prepared to succeed,”
Jones said.
In response to the opposition, UNO
Chancellor Del Weber said it was
unfortunate that these standards were
viewed as an attempt to keep black
youth and minoriiics out. Highcr stan
dards were not intended to do that, he
said.
UNL Chancellor Graham Spanier
said his goal with the new standards
was to increase minority enrollment,
not decrease it.
“We will reserve a spot for every
Nebraska high school student who is
prepared to succeed at the University
of Nebraska-Lincoln,” Spanier said.
Regent Nancy O’Brien of Water
loo said she feared the new standards
would scare students.
“Perception is reality,” O’Brien
said. “If some people believe these
standards are barriers to education,
then they will be.”
O’Brien proposed an amendment
that would make the third year of
math and science a graduation re
quirement instead of an admission
requirement at UNO and the Univer
sity of Nebraska at Kearney, but the
resolution failed.
O’Brien was the only regent who
voted no during the final docision on
the new admission standards.

the official said the damage appeared
to have come from missiles in the
Iraqi arsenal, he said he could not
totally rule out that some damage may
have been caused by U.S. weaponry.
An Iraqi army photographer out
side the hotel showed reporters a piece
of metal he said he found at the site.
The fragment bore the markings of
the U.S. company that makes the turbo
fan engine for the Tomahawk cruise
missile.
The official Iraqi News Agency
said a number of “civilian, tourist and
cultural targets” were hit.
White House spokesman Marlin
Fitzwater said the U.S. attacks were
intended to deliver “the political and
diplomatic point” that Iraq must com
ply with U.N. resolutions. He left
open the possibility of further mili
tary action if Iraq chooses to defy
United Nations resolutions, including
U.N. inspection missions.
The press secretary for President
elect Clinton rc-enforecd the mes
sage, declaring thatClinton was “pre
pared to continue taking appropriate
action until Iraq complies.”
The operation didn’t involve al
lied warplanes, and lasted about two
hours.

Merlin Lawson, associate dean of
graduate studies, said this program
would be unique because it would be
a cooperative program between UNL
and UNO — the first of its kind.
Lawson said the masters program
would not take away from the quality
of teaching in the undergraduate pro
gram.
Also at the meeting, the board
honored Bob Dcvancy, retired UNL
athletic director, by naming him ath
letic director emeritus. The board pre
sented Dcvancy with a plaque, a tro
phy and a peace pipe in thanks lor his
contributions to the university.
