Marintzer said the state has the obligation to keep up its assets. He also said universities gave back to the state by sending qualified applicants into the work force. The bill brings together two of the issues that are always on students’ minds, Marintzer said: cost of educa wm. It affects the atmosphere on campus.

UNL isn’t the only campus that would be affected by the bill. The bill also allots money to Peru, Chadron and Wayne state colleges and three other NU campuses. UNO student government presi dent Jason Winterboer said two build ings at UNO would be fixed with the money. The two buildings don’t look that bad, he said, but need to be brought up to par on American with Disabilities Act requirements and fire safety codes. Britt Anderson, UNL’s student lob byist, said Wednesday’s press confer ence was a starting point and she would later contact key senators. State senators on campus to meet, eat with students By Jim Goodwin Staff Reporter Ham on rye with a side of Lincoln Sen. Dave Landis wasn’t the official dish Tuesday at the State Senators on Campus Luncheon. The combination was possible for students, however, at the annual stu dent-senator gathering in the Ne braska Union. The luncheon gave the five sena tors and about 40 students the oppor tunity to discuss mutual issues, said Britt Anderson, a lobbyist for the As sociation of Students of the Univer sity of Nebraska. “Tliis is a way for anyone on cam pus who has a concern to talk person to-person with his or her senator,” Anderson said. “It is an informal way to cross that boundary.” The luncheon, sponsored by ASUN, was a brief break in the day for some students who also were at tending legislative committee hear ings on three university-related bills. Brandon Steenson, the student sen ate speaker at the University of Ne braska at Omaha, attended the morn ing hearing on LB857, which would provide funding for construction projects at state universities and col leges. Steenson said he would spend the rest of the day after the luncheon at legislature hearings.''1''^' Steenson said the luncheon was an opportunity for he and students from the University of Nebraska’s other campuses to personally speak with leg islators also involved with the bills. “I think that our doing this as a unified front is important in their pas sage,” Steenson said. Phillips sentenced to jail PHILLIPS from page 1 That history got even longer Tues day morning, as he was served with a civil suit for improper sexual contact at the party in Omaha. Anderson said outside the court room that Phillips was served with “that silly case in Omaha.” Women at the party told police several men, includ ing Phillips, improperly touched them. In court Tuesday, Phillips admitted that he violated probation and did not contest the state’s motion to revoke. “Lawrence just wants everyone to know that he regrets being in court today,” Anderson said. “He made a .' = = . ■ ■■ mistake and he’s owning up to it.” Anderson said Phillips went for ward with the sentencing Tuesday to “just get it over with.” “He’s here to accept responsibility for it,” the attorney said. “He’s a strong young man, a fine young man.” Lynn Stiles, vice president of foot ball operations for the St. Louis Rams, echoed Anderson, saying Phillips was taking responsibility for his mistakes. “Until something comes along and we are told otherwise, he is our num ber one guy.” Phillips’ status with the team is not at issue, Stiles said. Voting technology gets tested By Kasey Kerber Staff Reporter Imagine knowing who won the ASUN elections moments after the polls close at 8 p.m. Just don’t imagine it this year. But it could one day be a reality because of polling technology that will be used for the first time in today’s ASUN elections. The new technology is being provided by American Information Systems, the same company that produces the ballots for the ASUN elections.__ Marlene Beyke, ASUN director of development, said the machines will have no impact on the time election results will be available this year. “We still want to double check the votes from those sites,” Beyke said. “Just to be sure.” The machines operate similar to ATMs and would tally votes auto matically by scanning each ballot fed into the machine. Three ASUN polling sites where a majority of students usu ally cast their votes will feature the new technology, Beyke said. Those sites are the Nebraska East Union, the Nebraska Union and the Lee and Helene Sapp Recreation Cen ter. The new technology is being of fered at no cost. Although the machines are ex perimental tiiis year, they could be used in the future, Beyke said, and they could decrease the amount of time needed to determine who won the ASUN elections. Until that day, election results will come in at about the same time tonight they have every year — 10:00 to 10:30, ISIiC)t*Sl PRESENTSI: CAJUN WEDNESDAY MARCH UTH 5-IOP.M.
