use, he said. Students, researchers and
equipment were crowded into the labs,
he said.
Lack of adequate space at the cen
ter also led researchers to do tests in
the parking lot, he said, exposing
equipment to the elements.
Amin Einea, research assistant
professor at the center, agreed labora
tory conditions were intolerable. -—
*You can hardly walk in the exist
ing lab,” he said.
Before the project was approved,
the lack of space raised concerns about
possible critical reports from an ac
creditation team evaluating the Oma
ha campus’ civil engineering program
last fall, Liberty said.
Einea said budget constraints pre
vented the problem from being solved
completely.
“What we got... is basically a shell
with a crane in it,” he said. “The
budget was so tight we had to accept it
with no interior paint for now.”
The addition lacks capacity fortest
ing involving large equipment and

lacks a structural floor and reaction
wall needed for large testing setups,
he said.
“It was a temporary solution for a
permanent problem,” Einea said.
Liberty said a new engineering
building needed to be built at UNO,
and there was a spot designated for it
in UNO’s master plan.
Controversy about whether UNO
should have its own engineering col
lege, however, has stalled plans to
begin the process for approval of such
a building, he said.
Although Einea said the addition
wasn’t enough to permanently solve
space problems, it was preferable to
halting research or taking it off cam
pus.
“We took what we got,” he said.

DN, UPC denied increases
ASUN approves
own budget intact,
says ‘no’ to others
By Heather Lampe
• Stiff Reporter
ASUN denied requests to increase
student fee allocations for the Daily
Nebraskan and the University Pro
gram Council Wednesday night and
voted to increase its own budget.
UPC had its re
quest tut oil uiucosc
amended from
CFA’s $182,880
proposal to
$180,400, the same
amount as last year.
Jeff Krohn, sen
-.. 11 ■ — aior ior me couege
ofengineering, who
called for the amendment to the bill,
said the increase was to keep things
fair between ASUN, the Daily Ne
braskan, and UPC.
“I thought that if ASUN was going
to stick to the same operating budget
as last year and we also asked the DN
to, then it was fair to make the UPC do
so also," Krohn said.
The Daily Nebraskan also was de
nied a requested increase of $2,037 to
help cover the newspaper’s $ 160,000
printing expenses.
Doug Oxley, graduate studies sen
ator, moved to amend the bill to grant
the Daily Nebraskan the increase.
“It’s to maintain what thc$ have,”
Oxley said. ‘There are going to be
years when they don’t need it, but this
year they do.
Shawntell Hurtgen, senator for the
department of general studies and
chairperson of the Committee for Fees
Allocation, said the increase was not
granted because the paper requested it
to cover an increase in printing costs,
but printing costs would not actually
increase.
Jeremy Fitzpatrick, editor of the
Daily Nebraskan, said he regretted the
error, but because a professional ad
vertising manager would be hired next
year, the increase would still be need
ed to help print the paper.
“We’re asking them to pay a small
percentage more to print it on paper,”
Fitzpatrick said.
“This would help us in the year that
we will be taking more upon our
selves.”
The Association of Students of the
University of Nebraska requested and
was granted a 3.32 percent increase in
its budget for support staff, student
legal services and Government Liai
son Committee.
The total dollar amount of ASUN
appropriations was $148,672, about
$3.03 per student per semester.
Hurtgen said the increase was to
benefit ASUN employees.
“If you look at the employees’ sal
aries, they’re fairly low,” she said.
Krohn said he wanted to clarify
why ASUN was the only organization
to get an increase.
“Our employees do need raises and
the DN and UPC don’t pay employees
(with these funds),” Krohn said. “All
the money for day-to-day operations
has stayed consistent. The increase
we’ve granted ourselves goes only to
our employees.”

Spring Fever

disease — spring fever.
“I think it makes people a little too
goofy,” Beck said. “I feel like 1 want to
go out and party.”
Members of Phi Beta Chi Sorority
said they were catching the fever as
well. The warm weather gave them an
opportunity to set up their fund-rais
ing sweater stand on Broyhill Plaza.
Kara Fintel, a senior secondary
education major at the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln, said the sunshine
made a difference in their sales.
“People stop and look more in the
nice weather,” she said. Fintel, still
bundled in a jacket and mittens, said
it would take an increase of another 20
degrees before she would feel warm
enough to wear shorts.
Camelle Yost, a junior home eco
nomics and education major, said she
couldn’t decide if the warm weather
gave her more motivation to go to
class or to skip class.
“Everybody is in a better mood,”
she said. “It will probably snow to
morrow, though.
“This is Nebraska — five seasons
in one day,” she laughed.
