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.

Union stores
may cease
tobacco sales
TOBACCO from page 6
Saad said the removal of tobac
co products would cause other
product sales to fall.
“When people come to the infor
mation desks to buy cigarettes or
chew, they usually buy something
else: pop, candy, snack foods,” Saad
said. “If we cut off tobacco sales, we
also lose other revenue.”
Union Board advisor Gregg
Jablpnski said the union’s budget
could be adjusted accordingly to
make up fpr ^e loss in sales from
students $oi buying other products
when buying tobacco products.
“The budget does speculate
that other sales - candy, pop, snack
foods - will drop off as well,”
Jablonski said.
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. You control what you earn according to your productivity.
Over 500 evening interviewers in Lincoln average $9.50/hour.
• A great working environment
No telemarketing. Two Lincoln locations: 11th &‘P’ and 68th & ‘O’.

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.”

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.
