For the University of Nebraska regents, last summer
offered no surprises, no upset apple carts.
Regent Robert Koefoot of Grand Island said it was
; "more quiet than usual" and Regent Robert Raun of
"Our work load doesn't very that much," Raun said.
"Even though students are around two semesters, our
work load remains about the same throughout the
summer."
Raun said the regents' approved of the University's
1974-75 budget was the most important summer
business.
"But we do this every year," he said. "It's not an
unusual action."
The $107 million operating budget, approved June
29, represents a 17 percent increase over the 1973-74
budget the largest in several years.
But student programs will apparently not reap
sizable profits from the increase. According to Nu
President D.B. Varner, the budget provides "a
relatively small number of dollars in terms of
programs." About 75 percent of the budget is in
salaries.
Also in June, the Board of Regents and two

doctors collided over the right to perform abortions at
the medical center. . , . . t
The board said the doctors violated their contracts by
performinn unauthorized abortions. , .
Drs. Marvin Dietrich and G. William Orr claimed
u-4 ii.i...rr!,. rtrUi;nne on (ha rtitmhAr Of SbCrtiCnS
performed by UNMC staff members infringed on their
rights to practice medicine. .
The battle was settled in district court. Senior U.b.
District Court Judge Richard E. Robinson ruled that the
regents can terminate any full-time faculty member
who performs abortions outside the University or
University-approved facilities. - .
Will this decision hinder students seeking abortions
' "Essentially speaking1, I think the decision is better
for the patient whether they're students or non
students," Koefoot said, "And it will be better for the
state as a whole to have abortions performed In places
other than the medical center."
Another matter the regents dealt with this summer
was student fees.
NU students will pay $10 more for campus fees this
summer, totaling $61 .50 per semester for UNL full-time
students. . .
Originally, the UNL Fee Allocation Board had
recommended a $7.39 increase, cutting out money for
the Placement Office Alumni Association, the Overseas
Opportunity Center, travel flights and new student
programs. The board and ASUN felt these programs
were not beneficial to most students and so should not
be supported by student fees ASUN President Ron
Clingenpee! said in a May 25 interview.
But university staff added funds for those programs
to make up the $10 .hike and the regents approved the
hike. '
The regents interviewed were certain if visitation and
alcohol on campus wili continue to be issues this year.
But they said they felt they shouldn't be.
"My feeling would be that the decision the regents
made in the spring about alcohol on campus was a good
one," Raun said.
He said he had read information this summer about
the increase of alcoholism among students who are
substituting liquor for hard drugs.
"I'm concerned that this is a serious problem," Raun
said. "I hope students will get something underway to
control it this year."
Koefoot expressed no change in his position.
"As far as I'm concerned it shouldn't' be ah' issue," '
he said, "The students have been turned down. I
haven't changed my mind."
