Spencer, J.,
concurring.
I am in full agreement with the Per Curiam opinion herein and believe that it goes as far as it legally may, unless we wish to usurp a legislative prerogative. If we were to attempt to tell the board of parole to apply the amendatory act to the defendant’s sentence in determining his eligibility for release on parole under the provisions of section 83-1,110, R. S. Supp., 1972, we would assume authority we do not have. Instead of interpreting the law, which is our proper function, we would be invading the legislative domain by making law, which is not our function.
White, C. J., and Newton, J., join in this concurrence.
