' n u - ill li Thursday, november 7,1 974 ilncoin, nebraska vol. 98 no. 42 I i " .1 . n OOl U GDC Alumni fees Validity questioned By Lynn Silhasek The ASUN Senate Wednesday night approved a recommendation to change the type of funding the Alumni Assoc. now receives, under student fees should the association request student fee money in the future. Under the recommendation, future student fee money marked for the association would be contained in A-1 funding, money that is appropriated according to Fee Allocations Board (FAB) guidelines. This association this year received $20,000 in . student fees from B funding, fee money appropriated at the chancellor's discretion. UNL Chancellor James Zumberge last spring overrode FAB recommendations that the associa tion not receive student fee money for 1973-74! The recommendation was made to hopefully stop duplication of programs that may be offered by both the association and other studept organizations, according to a report the recom mendation was contained in. The association's student fee money presently is being administered by a student aiumni board and should be judged on a student to student basis, according to the report. The report was prepared, by ASUN President Ron Clingenpeel and Sen. John Dobitz. Approval of the report followed heated discussion between senators and Alumni Assoc. representatives. Sen Tom Owens questioned the projects the money had been used for. According to Clingenpeel's and Dobitz's report, the associa tion's student fee money had been spent for projects including Graduate magazine and the Nutshell magazine for new and potential UNL . students. ", v "Why should we spend our money to send unsolicited information to people we don't even care about?" Owens said. Predictions of a future enrollment decrease at UNL make it necessary to send information to po'emial students "if UNL is not to become a rich beys' paradise," said Don Walters, the associa tion's siudent advisory board president. The ASUN-approved recommendation will be Fcrarded to Zumberge.

"He said the absentee ballots might make a significant difference in' the outcome of the election. . At an ASUN . press conference Wed nesday; Clingenpeel said he thinks if the amendment doesn't pass, it will come through the new Legislature in January. "If we lose on the absentees, we wiLI go back to the Legislature and ask them to put the question back to the people," he said.

Jim .Sax, ASUN -..Student. Rights committee chairman,, said he , thinks a majority of Nebraskans support student representation.
