NU asks for state’s help with ’97-’99 budget woes DEBT from page 6 about the standards several years before they went into effect, but administrators also were planning a retreat with high school superinten dents to discuss the requirements. He said the university supported a “K-16” approach to education in where, ideally, students would begin preparation for college in kindergarten, and be ready to meet all college requirements by their senior year in high school. The deficit funding request also includes: ■ $98,538 for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s student union renovation. The Nebraska Coordinating Commission for Post Secondary Education had not approved this part of the Nebraska Union renovation at the time of the / original budget. ■ $127,944 for grounds devel opment and upkeep of the University of Nebraska at Omaha’s Institute of Science Technology and Engineering. The funds were not originally budgeted, Smith said, because UNO had not received First Data Resources’ gift of 55 acres of the Ak-Sar-Ben property at the time of the budget. The deficit funds include grounds-operating sup plies, water fees and groundskeep ers’ salaries. The Appropriations Committee is expected to vote on the deficit funding request within a week.

Swanson said Union Board has been consistent in its opinion on tobacco sales. The Union Board always has been concerned about what effect the removal of tobacco sales would have on student fees, he said. “The union is meant to provide services to the students of this campus,” Saad said. “This is one of the things the students want, and it is wrong for administration to dis regard student input.” The Union Board is not the only student organization that supports the sale of tobacco on campus. The Residence Hall Association, as well as the Association of Students of the University of Nebraska, both sup port the sale of tobacco on City and East campuses. “Removing tobacco sales off of campus is not going to cut down the number of students who smoke,” RHA President Ben Wallace said. “All it does is cut down on the money the campus brings in and raise student fees.” Is the truth really out there? The American public appears absolutely convinced that the U.S. government knows more about UFO's than it is letting on. In a Gallup poll conducted last year, 71% of Americans said that the government is hiding something it knows about UFO's. The poll also found that 45% think that UFO's have actually visited Earth, and 12% say that they have actually seen a UFO. You know Lincoln as the Home of the Huskers. But did you know it’s also the operational center of the world’s most famous survey research organization? The beliefs and opinions of millions of Americans, on everything from politics to long-distance carriers to the existence of alien life, are collected, compiled and analyzed every year right here in Nebraska’s capital city. Now you can be a part of that. Gallup is currently hiring full-time and part-time telephone interviewers to conduct market research and public opinion surveys. Gallup offers: • A college tuition reimbursement plan. • A flexible schedule. You chcx>se the hours you work. Interviewing hours are after noons, evenings and weekends. • Pay for performance.

Ruwe said because the technology fee advisory board said onfne registralion for classes wasasludent concern, it has now become an Information Services priority.’A lot of technical work would need to be done if this was actively pursued, Ruwe said.That obstacle would prevent onine registralion at UNL from happening this semester, Ruwe said. * 5.

UNL professor’s e-mails j present racism concerns E-MAIL from pagel Patton said she could not specify those problems. The e-mail was sent through a uni versity e-mail listserv, but faculty mem bers contacted by the Daily Nebraskan said they did not subscribe to that list serv. However, instructions on how to unsubscribe to the listserv are on the bottom of the e-mail. Donna Liss, director of information systems, said listserv@unl.edu, the program which Hibler appears to have used, is a software program that con tains several listservs moderated by dif- I ferent people. “I do believe that yon have tohaVe | the list created in the first place. You I couldn’t just create the list and go,” Liss | said. y | Kallhoff said Hibler seemed to use | the Internet a lot for electronically pub- | lishing his writing. “He’s got several listservs where § he is sending out our work and his | work.” The complete text of Hibler’s e> ; mail can be found on the Daily | Nebraskan Online at | http'J/www. unL edu/DhifyNeb. 1 liH&feflflif \ \ II ■mPVKVIiHHLpjp!— Stolen car found One Lincoln transient found his own ride to Omaha by stealing a car Monday night. When Jason Strahan pulled into the Kwik Shop at 2940 N. 14th Street, he was approached by William Lassek, who asked for a ride to Omaha, Lincoln Police Sgt. Tom Sherrill said. Strahan refused and entered the store, leaving his keys in the car. So Lassek helped himself to the 1989 Ford Taurus. He made it to mile-marker 429 near the Platte River on 1-80 before the state patrol stopped him, Sherrill said. Lassek’s excuse was he was cold and wanted to get back to Omaha. He was arrested for auto theft by the State Patrol. v-wnme | m* MX: UN «Mk la Ptcvlw tl__ I JEueaSL ■ Asian studsnts say afferts to I o** M a • | V » M
