"We are on the oldest campus in the state," said President James J. Duderstadt. "The state has been very, very less than diligent in helping us keep up our buildings." Provost and Executive Vice Presi- dent for Academic Affairs Gilbert R. Whitaker Jr. said maintaining Uni- versity buildings requires about $13 million a year. But the University does not always raise fees to pay for renovations. "We don't ask for these fee in- creases without reasons. We don't believe it's always the right thing to do," he said. Several students endorsed the fee increase during the public comments portion of the meeting. "These renovations will help us coordinate more easily and reach more students," said LSA junior Kristen Nimelli, peer educator at UHS.

I think more and more attention is be- ing placed on the quality of the under- graduate experience," said Zeller, who will be 45 next month. Besides heading the residence hall system at Washington State, Zeller also was involved with students. As direc- tor, he has overseen new student pro- grams, aleadership education program, Greek affairs and other programs. "That certainly has been an inter- est of mine - a high level of student contact," Zeller said. Residence Hall Association Presi- dent Stacia Fejedelem, who met with each of the final candidates, said she thought Zeller was the best for the job. "I thought all the candidates were really qualified, but I'm glad William Zeller was given the position," she said. "It appeared to me that he was really interested in what went on here and what students want." Hartford had wanted to have a di- rector in place when classes began in September. But the committee origi- nally received only 31 applications, said Rodger Wolf, an assistant to Hartford. Wolf said he had anticipated 100 to 150 applicants for the post. Wolf said last night that Zeller's salary will be about $100,000. Zeller holds a bachelor's degree in sociology from Northern Illinois University, a master's in college stu- dent personnel from Western Illinois University and a doctoral degree in higher education administration from Iowa State University. Zeller said he was nominated for the post by Eric Luskin, director of the University's Family Housing. Zeller said he met Luskin at Northern Illinois University in the mid-1970s, when they both served as residence hall directors. David Foulke, interim Housing director, will return to his post as associate Housing director. Balanced budget amendment may go to states after vote in Senate WASHINGTON - If the Senate approves the proposed balanced budget amendment tomorrow, Congress will ask the states to take a historic gamble some say will free future generations from debt and others warn could ruin the economy, disrupt vital government services and devastate the social safety net. For nearly 60 years, the fight over a constitutional amendment to force the government to live within its means except in times of war has largely been ai* academic exercise. But in the wake of the Republican takeover of Congress, the House has overwhelmingly approved the measure, 300 to 132, and supporters in the Senate are within a couple of votes of the two-thirds majority needed to adopt the amendment and send it on to the states for ratification. Republican leaders say passage of a balanced budget amendment is essential to GOP plans to impose fiscal discipline on an unruly Congress and put the government on a seven-year "glide path" to eliminating the deficit. Republicans insist they can cut taxes, protect Social Security from reductions, beef up defense and still eliminate the deficit by the year 2002.

Clinton, who has made child sup- port enforcement part of his welfare reform plan, will sign an executive order today aimed at the 105,000 fed- eral workers skipping out on child support or avoiding efforts to estab- lish their paternity. "One of the purposes of issuing the executive order is to make the federal government a model employer by re- quiring its workers to live up to their responsibility of providing child sup- port to their children," presidential spokeswoman Ginny Terzano said. The order will mainly seek im- proved communication between states and the federal government, so viola- tors cannot slip through the cracks of overlapping jurisdictions. The Internal Revenue Service now garnishes tax refunds of deadbeat parents identified by states. Clinton's executive order will require agencies to cross-check the state lists annually against payroll or personnel files to identify federal workers.

Pete Wilson yesterday by declaring that he will contest the 1996 California Republi- can primary election, whether Wil- son chooses to run.
