Student fees bill sent to floor
By Greg Wees
A new face on a biil that could eliminate
mandatory payment of some student fees at
state colleges and universities emerged last week
from the legislature's Education Commitiw,... -.
In a self-proclaimed compromise, LB362's
sponsor, State Sen. James Dickinson, struck all
ongmal sections of the bill and substituted
amendments in their place. The revisions were
necessary, Dickinson said, to remove the bill
from committee where a 4-4 deadlock vote
during the 1973 session prevented further
action by legislators.
Another Unicameral development was State
Sen. Richard Proud's successful motion
Monday to allow each of the 49 senators to
select one of thir bills for definite
consideration before the session's end.
There are only 16 working days left in this
year's session, and more than 300 bills remain
to be considered.
Dickinson said Monday he probably would
select his student fees bill for first round
consideration under Proud's proposal. Thus the
issue might be resolved before the Legislature
adjourns, he said.
Under the amended bill,- student fees would
be collected only to finance the University
Health Center, to pay the interest on
outstanding revenue bonds for construction and
to pay for "direct and primary educational
purposes" as determined by the school,
Dickinson noted.
Another feature of the revised measure
gradually would reduce mandatory student fees
collection each year. In fiscal 1974-75, students
will still pay 70 of those current fees that
would be eliminated. This would be reduced to
40 in 1976-77, and by 1977 all such fees
would be eliminated, leaving only the fees for
purposes designated by the bill.
. A UN L student under this plan would. cay
$36 in student fees each semester after 1977.
He now pays $51.50.
According to a UNL comptroller's report,
ASUN would no longer receive guaranteed
operating funds if student fees payment was
voluntary, expenditures for UNL's Recreation
Dept. would oe reduced 68, and funds used to
support Nebraska Union operations would
decline 25.
State Sen. George Syas changed his vote
from no to yes at Thursday's hearing, giving the
measure the necessary five votes to pass out of
committee. However, Syas, added that his
change does not necessarily mean he supports
the bill.
"We have to get this (student fees) issue
onto the floor for debate," he said. "This has
got to be cleared up once and for all."
Syas said he previously opposed the bill
because capital fund construction debts could
not be paid under the original measure.
At UNL each student now contributes
$14.50 to repay interest on capita! construction
bonds, according to a UNL comptroller's
breakdown of student fees. The University
Health Center receives $21 a semester from
each student.
Syas also changed his vote, he said, because
most of the 200 University of Nebraska at
Omaha students who contacted him supported
the bill.
