Union will
evaluate
facilities
The Union Board now
offers students "a chance to
shape their own
e n vironment"--if that
environment is the Crib or
some other part of the
Nebraska Union.
The Board recently created
a Nebraska Union Planning
Committee "to initiate, plan
and coordinate facilities
changes in the Union-" and the
plaza, according to Union
Board member Ron Alexander.
Three students, to be
chosen by interviews March 20,
and two faculty members, to
be appointed by President
Joseph Soshnik, will form the
committee.
Alexander noted that the
latest addition to the Union
building was designed with
little student input. The new
committee will "start planing
ahead" on expanding and
upgrading facilities, he added.
The Student Union is
financed through student fees.

television building. $100,000.

Engineering Research Center, $100,000.

programming. $100,000 to $320,000. The higher figure would

extension and agricultural experiment station operations,
$900,000.

opportunities":
- ADUSTMENTS in summer session staffing and tuition,
$250,000. About 100 courses and 40 faculty positions would
be eliminated, affecting the "educational choices" of about
1 000 students. Tuition would be increased.
- CURTAILMENT of faculty and graduate student
activities financed through the Research Council, $170,000.
- DELAY BY ONE YEAR the opening of the engineering

departments. $130,000.

physical plant, $400,000.
- TERMINATION of purchases of services from the
Alumni Association and the University Foundation, $62,200.
Included are lists and records purchased from the alumni
group and handling of endowments by the foundation.
-NO SALARY INCREASES for personnel in the "higher
income levels," $300,000.
- REDUCTION in miscellaneous support of instruction,
$45,000.
- REDUCTION in faculty travel to professional meetings,
$43,000.
- REDUCTION in travel of administrators, $10,000.
- DEFERRAL of non-instructional equipment, $25,000.
Exon's
The list prepared by the Exon administration shows how
the University could reduce its spending of state tax funds by
more than $1.2 million. ,
The Exon report states its 20-item list includes "only some
examples of the reductions. There are many more like these
Here is the governor's list, with some of the comments, and
the possible savings in state tax funds:
- MAID for the chancellor's house, $5,000.
RFC RUITER for regular student programs, $18,000.
I THE POST OF VICE CHANCELLOR FOR STUDENT
AFFAIRS, $34,500. This post currently is unfilled.
- ADMISSIONS operating costs reduction, $48,000. I ne
Exon list said this would leave the University with the same
pcr-student amounts set by the state colleges for admissions.
- THE POST OF SPECIAL COUNSEL to the (Lincoln
campus) president, $28,000. Carl Donaldson holds this
position which, the Exon report said, "didn t exist until the
man reached 65 and they put him in this post to give him
three years post-retirement salary."
- STUDENT HOUSING, $74,000. "Should besupported
from dormitory payments as is done in the colleges," the Exon
report said. "This should not require an increase in room rates
as the dormitory account is carrying a surplus."
- PLACEMENT SERVICE, $24,000. "Should be
supported by those students who benefit from the education.
The placement fee probably would be less than the $10 that
students in the state colleges are already paying and much less
than the $100 or more a public agency would charge," the
report said. ...
- ACCOUNTING, $29,000. The State Administrative
Services Department assumed "a large amount" of the
accounting load and the transfer wasn't reflected in the N.U.
budget, the report said.
- DATA PROCESSING, $110,000. Elimination of one
university computer would cut the costs, according to the
report.
- PUBLIC RELATIONS, $80,000. The report says: "A
reduction of 3.5 professional and one clerical (positions), plus
supporting costs, on the grounds that state funds shouldn't be
spent in image-making and lobbying."
- PUBLICATIONS, $31,000. Publishing should be
self-supporting, the governor's office said.
- CATALOGS, $7,400. The report suggests printing fewer
catalogs or charging for them.
- NEBRASKA LAW REVIEW, $5,000. "This cost should
be carried by the lawyers and libraries which benefit from the
Review."
- ALUMNI ASSOCIATION, $35,000. The report says:
"The alumni should be willing to pay a few cents each to
support their association."
- GENERAL EXPENDITURES, $30,500. "This really was
a slush fund or it would have been allocated to specific
programs," the report said.
- INSTITUTIONAL TRAVEL, $8,000. This would be half
of the present travel budget.
- SUNDRY EQUIPMENT, $25,000. "Again a slush fund,"
the report said.
- PLANNING AND DESIGN, $210,000. The report says:
"Probably set up when new buildings were constantly being
built - even the NU request would indicate this will no longer
be the case."
- REMODELING, $400,000. Here are the comments:
"Not requested in capital construction (budget). There is still
$300,000 in the budget and when asked what this would be
used for, the reply was that they didn't know, but felt they
needed it because remodeling and renovation needed to
continue in an orderly fashion . , . and yet specific remodeling
projects were included in the capital construction budget."
- CHANCELLOR'S RESIDENCE EQUIPMENT, $4,500.
This comment: "Surely someone who makes $40,000 and lives
in a free house should be able to furnish it himself."

formerly of Minnesota,
"Culture in Rural America."
