  CHAIRMAN MILLER  called the Senate Rules Committee meeting to order          
 at 10:45 a.m.  He brought  SB 250  (UNIV. OF ALASKA: LAND GRANT &             
 ASSETS) before the committee.  The bill was returned to the Rules             
 Committee from the Senate floor on March 6.                                   
                                                                               
 SENATOR DUNCAN related that the last time he talked to the                    
 Administration there were still concerns with the bill, and he                
 asked if something had been worked out.  CHAIRMAN MILLER responded            
 he did not know, and he suggested he would have to ask Senator                
 Frank that question.                                                          
                                                                               
 SENATOR SHARP moved and asked unanimous consent SB 250 be approved            
 for calendaring.  SENATOR DUNCAN objected.  The roll was taken with           
 the following result:  Senators Pearce, Sharp and Miller voted                
 "Yea" and Senators Salo and Duncan voted "Nay."  The Chairman                 
 stated the motion carried on a 3-2 vote.                                      
                                                                               
 There being no further business to come before the committee, the             
 meeting was adjourned at 10:49 a.m.
