Signed Bills As the 1996 Nebraska Legisla ture session winds down, Gov. Ben Nelson’s bill signing pen has been seeing some action. Early last week, Nelson signed 14 bills into law, including LB908, which will punish “technology aided peeping toms.” The bill, which passed the Leg islature 45-0, will make it illegal to view or record by any electronic means, a person in a state of un dress. The bill includes but docs nol limit itselfto tanning booths,dress ing rooms, restrooms, showers and Legislature Notes locker rooms. Family Police Act LB 1001 had an emergency clause placed on il to go into effect immediately. The bill amends the Nebraska Family Policy Act and says that relatives should be given preferred status when out-of-home placements are considered for chil dren. The bill also says that the chi ldrcn ’s best interests are primary in family unification decisions. _Winpino Down Senators have only 11 days left in the 1996 session and will be I burning the midnight oil trying to get to all of the bills still awaiting debate. Omaha Sen. Ernie Chambers’ speed limit bill, LB901, is still two stages away from becoming law. And debate has not yet begun on LB 1380, Lincoln Sen. John Lindsay’sbill that would make abor tion illegal when a sign of life is present in the fetus. Senators resume property tax debate today and expect to work well into the evening. — Ted Taylor Moeser Continued from Page 1 at UNL, he said. An expanded honors program will attract high quality students, he said. g; - Other goals in the area of in struction at UNL include: • expanding study abroad pro grams, • finding efficient ways to evalu ate and reward professors, • providingmore opportunities for internships, • increasing graduate stipends • providingmore faculty advis ing and mentoring for undergrade ates, • and providing a strong En glish language program for foreign students. UNL will move quickly in the area of research as well, Moeser said, and the growth of Nebraska’s economy depends on the growth of research at UNL. During the next five years, UNL will need to work to increase exter nal funding for research, he said, and use research to the fullest po tential. In the future, Moeser said, the arca'ofoutreach will gain even more importance. “Outreach is a statewide mis sion,” he said. “We need to provide state-of-the-art distance learning.” Finally, improving the campus community and environment also will be essential, Moeser said. To improve, UNL must reno vate classrooms and laboratories, he said. “We teach through our environ ment,” Moeser said. “That can be positive or negative. I’m impressed by the physical beauty of the cam pus. Inside the classrooms, I’m embarrassed by what I sec.” Regents Continued from Page 1 approved an amendment to NU Presi dent Dennis Smith’s employment con tract. The amendment calls for a monthly housing allowance of $ 1,000 from the University Foundation and housekeep ing services. Regents Chairman Don Blank said the money came as part of a compen sation to Smith since a fire destroyed the NU president’s official residence in January. The board also approved: • the formation of an alliance of pediatric services between the Univer sity of Nebraska Medical Center and Father Flanagan’s Boys’ Home, • Clark Encrscn Partners to design the addition and renovations to the College of Dentistry Center for Dental Research at UNMC.
