fees' paid by students go through
the university finance office which
apportions them out in accordance
with the prepared budget.
By far the largest share cf
Union money comes from the $3
fees paid by students each semes
ter. Totaling between $18,000 and
$19,000 a semester, the fees are
collected and held by the univer
sity finance offioe for the sole use
of the Union.
A second source of income is
the ballroom wrih is rented out
to fraternities, s:roritics and other
groups for $35 an evening and $15
for matinee programs. All money
receded here is "ploughed back"
into what is on the books as a
promotion fund intended to pay
for movies and speakers or make
up any deficit incurred in other
programs sponsored by the Union.
About $3,600 was received and
paid out again here last year.
Food department self supporting.
The catering or food department
is nominally self-support ing as
compared with the administrative
organization, and gets no share of
student fees. Its income is. of
course, derived from the grill, the
cafeteria, the dining rooms and
special banquets.
Calculated to operate on a non
profit basis, the catering depart
ment takes in and spends about
$7,000 each full month. It is esti
mated that about 50 percent of
the total receipts goes for food
and 30 percent for wages. Gas,
electricity, $300 a month for de
preciation of equipment, supplies
and other expenses absorb the bal
ance. Since the cafeteria is self-supporting,
it has no appropriation in
the annual budget which covers
only the general administrative ex
penditures of the Union.
Regents must approve budget.
Faeh year early in June, the
board of managers, represented by
its finance committee under Prof.
Karl Arndt, makes out the budget
for the 12 month period starting
July 1, usually following the sug
gestions of Director Van Sant. Be
fore becoming effective, the budget
must meet the approval of the
board of regents.
But experience has shown that
the budget amounts to about $17,
000 whereas student fees bring in
$36,000 to $38,000 a year. Inde
pendent of the budget, a good half
of this fund is set aside each year
by the university finance office
for amortization of a $200,000
mortgage taken out with the First
Trust company of Lincoln, Feb.
1, 1937.
Mortgage to be paid off in 1952.
To explain the mortgage, it is
necessary to recall the original
financing of the Union building.
PWA furnished 45 percent of the
total cost of $400,000 or approxi
mately $lS0.OO0. Student fees col
lected in 1937 before construction
started amounted to about $20,000
which was added on to the federal
grant. The balance of $200,000 was
met by taking out a mortgage at
34 percent interest, to be com
pletely paid up by Feb. 1, 1952.

not owe money, the transaction
was made through the University
of Nebraska Dormitory corpora
tion which leases the building to
the Union through the regents
who have contracted to pay a
yearly rent from the Union fees.
This rent approximates interest
and capital payments on the mort
gage. Pay $16,000 a year.
Annual amortization varies
from $16,000 to $18,000, paid in
two installments falling due Feb.

Enumerate budget items.
Items ordinarily included in the
budget of some $17,000 are, in
round figures, $3,200 for depreci
ation, $9,000 for administrative
salaries, and insurance. This pasU
year, the budget included $2,400
to bolster the promotional fund
for speakers, orchestras and other
Union activities, and $950 for a
motion picture projector. Other
budgetary expenses provide for
the auditing fee charged by the
finance office, office supplies and
innumerable miscellany which
cannot be accurately foreseen at
the beginning of the fiscal year.
Charts first year successfully.
The Union as a whole in both
administrative and catering de
partments employs about 100 per
sons, not counting maintenance
workers who are paid by the uni
versity. Only 20 of these are non
students working on a full time
basis. Among the SO student
workers, the average wage is 25
cents an hour with the first three
hours a day being paid for at the
rate of a meal for each horn's
work.
